By the way, “Walk” is worth watching in this high-definition format – a flawless, breathtaking and, at the same time humane and touching film attraction in this year’s global box does not appear. In the new film, Zemeckis tells the story of Philippe Petit – absolutely real French tightrope walker, who in the early 70′s learned about building in New York, the famous twin towers of the World Trade Center, they immediately fell in love and decided to carry out the most insane act of his life. Petit planned to go on the rope, stretched at the level of the upper floors of the towers.
Tom as preparations were underway for the implementation of this insane plan, and, in fact, most walk on the rope at a height of several hundred meters, and dedicated to a new picture of director “Back to the Future” and “Forrest Gump”.
At the premiere of “Walking” came to Moscow and talked with reporters, Robert Zemeckis and performer starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Robert, this year marks 30 years of your movie “Back to the Future.” How do you assess the level of the predictions that gave this film, and you would be willing to change something in this, whether you have a chance?
Robert Zemeckis: Well, at least half of what we predicted in the “Back to the Future,” really come true. I think this is a very good result. As for what I would like to correct something – I do not think I have the right to change anything. There was something that had to happen.
Philippe Petit walked a tightrope between the towers of the World Trade Center, which ceased to exist after the terrorist attacks September 11, 2001. This fact has left its mark on the mood of your film?
Robert Zemeckis: Of course, we could not ignore the fact that the World Trade Center is gone. But I still wanted to make a movie that people remember these towers is not only because of the terrible tragedy in 2001.

These towers, which could become just another New York skyscraper, the townspeople loved precisely because of Philippe Petit. After going on a rope between them, he carried out the most insane dream of his life – and that if given this huge buildings of concrete and glass soul. It was the lightest moment in the history of the World Trade Center, which also did not forget.
Do you agree with the opinion that the best film of your career – “Forrest Gump”?
Robert Zemeckis: For me, all my films – both natural children, so I never had the idea to rank them from best to worst, and vice versa. They are all too much for me mean. If we talk about “Forrest Gump,” I am pleased to remember this picture, I still talk to Tom Hanks, who played a major role.
Tom, by the way, recently sent me a letter. He went to “walk” in the movie. He writes that he liked, he admired the work of Joseph in this picture.
Most of the other questions were addressed to Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
There’s a moment when your character He describes his condition as a moment of absolute serenity, pleasure and the absence of danger – at the same time he is a rope, stretched at a great height. What helps you to reach the same state?

Joseph Gordon-Levitt: When I was filming “The Walk”, I realized that the profession is very similar tightrope walker on the profession of the actor. And when you walk on a tightrope, and when you’re playing a role, you have to be as focused and at the same time calm and relaxed. You have to free your mind from all foreign experiences and begin to exist in a different register. My hero Philippe Petit – certainly a man possessed, if he was not a little crazy, it just would not conceive this whole adventure. And when he manages to cope with the challenge, to realize his dream, he feels maximum comfort. Probably the same thing I feel, when I realize that I have been able to cope with a difficult role.
Your appearance in the movies very often subjected to notable transformations. Are you consciously trying to become unrecognizable in each role?
Joseph Gordon-Levitt: Yes, change the appearance of the screen I like. I do not like to look at myself in the movie and learn: Yeah, Joseph, you’re here the same as in life. All of my favorite actors – a master of impersonations. When you look at the work of Daniel Day-Lewis or Meryl Streep, you will not see their faces, and the faces of their heroes – they literally dissolved in them, become them. This same level of acting, to which I aspire, so I always welcome the experiments with appearance, which sometimes happen in my career.
Today, you are a big star expensive commercial cinema. Do not miss the days when you starred in independent films?
Joseph Gordon-Levitt: Do you know the difference between independent films and blockbusters – only money. And the quality and purpose of the film, and there, and there may be quite the same. There are a lot of empty completely independent paintings whose sole purpose – to earn more money at the box office. And at the same time there are many expensive commercial films that are works of art. I did not budget for the film is important, and the role and what inspires filmmaker. So I do not miss the independent cinema. Indeed, strictly speaking, it will not go away from it. Now here he sometimes make cheap films as a director.

unable to keep up in this visit to Moscow to watch something in town?
Joseph Gordon-Levitt: I’m not sure. But in fact, this is not my first visit to Moscow. For the first time in Russia I arrived ten years ago on the show Slava Polunin. I just love it – in my opinion, he is the greatest circus artists of our time. We were, by the way, good deal – at one time performed together on Broadway and in Paris. By the way, experience with Slava helped me greatly in “Walk”. Some of his arsenal, I used when we were shooting the Parisian scenes in which the life of my character is associated with the circus performances and the audience. History Philippe Petit is well-known, about his New York adventure filmed several documentaries.
How do you differ from these “Walk”?
Gordon-Levitt: Yes, of course, on the subject filmed a lot, there’s absolutely brilliant documentary Man On Wire (“Man on Wire” in Russian variant found translation for “Rope” – Ed.), which detailed a story of Philippe Petit and his passage on the rope stretched between two twin towers. But it is the objective side of the story, factology that our film has to do indirectly. “Walk” – it is not a documentary, and a breathtaking tale, albeit based on real events, and therefore the most realistic.
