Liam Neeson at "Schindler's List" Screening
The very dear Liam Neeson gave the opening speech for the 20th anniversary screening of Schindler's List in 2013. The quality of the video is mediocre, but I think you can hear how emotional Liam sounds after the applause at the start (in case you can't understand, his words beginning at about 0:22 are "Forgive me -- it's been many years since I've been in this sort of company"). Keep watching and you'll hear him falter a bit as he recalls meeting his wife (the late Natasha Richardson); he then recalls comforting Steven Spielberg's mother in law, who was moved by a play he had just acted in.

This was a wonderful find, White Tulip...I love Liam Neeson...and my heart broke for him after Natasha died. Hearing how emotional he was at the beginning out of respect for his audience is breathtaking. Thank you for sharing! BTW, have you ever seen his crying scene in Kinsey?

I knew he had a crying scene in that film, but I've never actually watched it. I have seen, and am always devastated by, his crying scene in Schindler's List; I posted it on this forum several months ago.
What always gets me about Liam Neeson is how soft-spoken he is in real life (and in many of his movie roles).

Re: Liam Neeson at "Schindler's List" Screening
I saw the Kinsey scene where he cries. The scene is filmed from afara and you can't see his face as he does it, only his sobs. It's strickigly similar to the one in Schindler's list. I recommend you to watch his crying scene in Nell, i posted here somewhere. In that one you can see his eyes almost whelling up with tears and his voice trembling. There's Natasha Richardson caressing his face as if she tries to wipe his tears..
''I like crying. And now I not only wanna cry and show my crying to other people, I wanna just split myself down the middle and open my guts and just throw everything out!''

I watched the Nell one a few days ago, and it was indeed touching.
Can anyone tell me what the situation is in Kinsey -- i.e. why is the character crying?

Re: Liam Neeson at "Schindler's List" Screening
Laura Linney who plays his wife in the movie, finds him in the bathroom reading a story about one of his patients, he is obivously distraught about what happened and then she notices blood on the floor and in the baththub. He starts telling her that he punctuated his foreskin as means of experimenting with different sensations. This is when he starts to break down ...

Re: Liam Neeson at "Schindler's List" Screening
In case anyone's interested, Liam Neeson describes the same incident from the first video -- Spielberg's mother in law crying over a play Liam was in -- in this interview. Start it at the 34:00 mark:
