"Oskar Werner gibt sein letztes Interview", Teil 2/ "Oskar Werner gives his last interview", part 2

Interviewer: "I met a colleague...and he said 'the content is pretty nice, but I love the voice and the voice is marvelous.' Now I ask myself- but how do you reach the audience with the message?"

Werner: "But that is why I am doing this. Because there is something that I have to communicate to them that is of concern to me.
And because I am a pacifist and had deserted in that war it is my job to tell the youth what I think about war."

Interviewer:"Sometimes I doubt if the message is coming across, as if to say 'Okay, here is Oskar Werner with his marvelous voice' and that's that.

Werner: "Oh, that's fine, that's not a problem. They are still coming. They are still hearing it."

Werner"...That is also because I have said no- I have rejected over 300 movies in my life, even refused very lucrative ones in Hollywood. Because I am aware of the responsibility.
Think about it, you turn the TV on- the youth is literally being schooled in evening filling home study courses in 'Crimes'. When you see 8 different murder stories, some might get the idea to try that, too.
They literally exercise every crime there that you could think off- I'm surprised TV even can add something new to this."

Interviewer: " Are you a religious person?... What do you believe in?"
Werner: "...I already told you that.
The sublime, the beautiful and that humans are more than just pigs. If you believed in everything that is being portrayed today, you'd think everyone is just a criminal, a murderer, a bank robber and nothing else. And that is why I chose my poets because there is more to us than just that."

[POETPICT]

WO ist das ORF -Interview mit OSKAR WERNER anläßlich des Skandals bei den Kremser Festspielen ? Das ist wohl zensuriert worden ???!!! Ich weiss, dass es dieses gibt, habe es selbst im ORF gesehen...

[ModulationAlert]

@POETPICT: Oh, da bin ich leider auch voellig ueberfragt. Irgendjemand MUSS es doch haben, wenn es im ORF lief. Hast du den ORF mal angeschrieben, bei vielen Sendern kannst du doch gegen Gebuehr Aufnahmen erstehen?

I love him speaking with this viennese accent.
