Лисик

Кстати, вы обращали внимание, как забавно Роберт держит ручки, когда лежит на спине? Видела это не только в "АНКЛах", но и в других фильмах. Видимо, это его собственная реакция

@темы: кадры, Napoleon Solo

Каике лисоньки! Какой Роберт!!

[Волчица Юлия]

Недаром, недаром его сравнили с лисиком )) Создатели сериала видели суть ))

[CatMari]

Это так мило))) (так и вижу на первом фото: «Ворона, зараза, ещё из-за твоего сыра на дерево лезть»)

Элеонора_Алва,

By the way, you notice how funny Robert holds a pen, when lying on his back?

I learned from reading that Robert Vaughn HATES guns. He's an anti-war fanatic. The fire-arms expert on the Man From UNCLE staff at MGM had problems with him when he fired. The gun he used (they used REAL guns) was full of blanks and he would flinch every time he fired, and messed up the filming. David McCallum, on the other hand. was used to firing guns as he served in the military. I've noticed Robert would fire without really aiming in the show as well as hold it funny.

[Vipera_Berus89]

lindafishes8, wow! I watched an interview in which he said it himself that he hates violence (if I'm not mistaken, he even said he was afraid of it, but I'm not quite sure, need to rewatch it again))), but I didn't think it was to THAT extend...
And the fact that they used real guns on the show... I've fired real firearms quite a lot at a shooting range myself, I know how differenty they feel even from air guns, not to mention fake ones... Seems rather cruel to me, giving him real weapons knowing how he feels about them (and getting him in the water knowing he can't swim)...

BTW

BTW, Google messed up a bit this time, Элеонора_Алва's original comment was about the funny way Robert holds his hands

[Элеонора_Алва]

CatMari, в его случае - из-за ДРОЗДа

[CatMari]

Элеонора_Алва, новая трактовка басни: о хитроумном харизматичном лисе и чересчур активном боевом дрозде)))

[Элеонора_Алва]

CatMari, "Дрозду где-то бог послал наводку..."

[lindafishes8]

Vipera_Berus89, I may of messed up. I thought she wrote about how he holds his gun. Yikes! I also read that the police showed up at MGM and asked to see their licenses to use the guns. Of course they had none. The studeo was fined and every actor that fired a gun on the set had to get a license. Robert signed an acting contract with MGM to do The Man From UNCLE. It was his decision to fire gun and be in the water. So he knew what he was getting into.

He is able to swim. He just doesn't like it. When he was 3 years old, some bullies threw him in deep water and he has a fear of it based on that experience.

[Vipera_Berus89]

lindafishes8, yeah, sometimes it happens, I just thought it won't hurt to fix the mistake. Besides, this one is really undersrandable

because

in Russian the word for "pen" is the same as the diminutive form of "hand", no wonder it's confusing
Haha, it would have been so much easier and cheaper for them to use fake guns))) I think it's quite understandable and right that the police came, after all, real guns, even if not properly loaded with real bullets, are not toys...
Well, technically, yes, but being able to swim doesn't make it any better or easier, especially since it's due to a psychological trauma. In case of swimming I know, I'd avoid water at any costs, if something like that ever happened to me in childhood... Not that I'm a great swimmer as I am...

Yes, when you have a job, it does happen to be hard and unpleasant at times, but I still think all that was rather cruel - mostly because unpleasantness could've been avoided to a certain extend. A little, of course, but still. I can only admire his professionalism and hard work - subjecting himself to something he so strongly opposes.

[lindafishes8]

Vipera_Berus89, Yes! Robert also played in "The Magnificent Seven." More and bigger guns! Npo swimming in that film.

They certainly gave Illya a lot of scenes in the water. David spent summers as a child in WWII by the shores of Loch Lomond in Scotland where he swan a lot. His home in America before the divorce had a swimming pool. He even learned to scuba dive for the film "Around the World Under the Sea." Besides, don't we LOVE wet Illya?

In fanon, Napoleon owns a sailboat (the Persang)and he spends time with Illya at sea. Authors play on Robert's fear of drowning so Solo has the same fear. Illya had to learn how to sail as he was trained in submarines in the Russian Navy. Another article on Vaughn stated the only time he was afraid shooting a scene with him in the water was when he was filmed in the ocean.

McCallum said the only time he panicked underwater was when doing a scene In VR5, a television series about virtual reality. Apparently he lost his air hose and panicked while they were filming him. He was in a scene where the car he was driving was sinking and he couldn't get out. The crew thought he was acting and made no move to help him until he started waving at them.

lindafishes8, submarine and sailboat still different things. Those who served on a submarine was not taught sets sail. But Ilya still had the power to be able to set sail, in Ukraine there were plenty of small sailing ships in his childhood.

[lindafishes8]

Лимбо, So there are lakes big enough to sail in within the Ukraine? Interesting. I need to study more about the Ukraine as in my backstory, Illya was born there and grew up there also.

[Лимбо]

lindafishes8, There are few lakes, but there Black sea

[Vipera_Berus89]

lindafishes8,

Robert also played in "The Magnificent Seven."

Oh, yes! And I always thought that his final (well, PREfinal))) scene, whene he rushes into a building and shoots all the bad gyus to let the peasants out, looked kind of strange. But since neither of the Seven bothered to aim before shooting, I considered it to be just a characteristic of the genre, so to say. But now with this info I can't help but find a new perspective to consider his character's traits as well as his own...

Besides, don't we LOVE wet Illya?

Oh, YES

Loosing an air hose underwater... Yikes! I can get panik attacks from simply getting water in my nose - and that's while regular swimming... Some of my friends laugh at me for that - in that state I can swim quite erratically but twice the normal distance to get myself to the shore))))) Looks funny, I guess, but doesn't feel that way at all...
And having all those people from the crew around him and noone helping...

About sailing. I've just consulted with my dad - he was in the military before he retired. He wasn't in the Navy, but he did serve on a torpedo boat while being a student (it was his internship, because his major specialty had to do with radio fuses used in torpedos). And he sais that it's quite possible for a person connected with the Army or the Navy (especially a young person - being that a student internship or a mandatory military service) to find himself on a military ship. Even more easy - if the person in question is regularly serving on a submarine. Such sailors, though, serve on modern ships - no sails or actual sailing experience - but it would be much easier for them to master that, because they already know their way around a boat. If they're interested in that. So there is no actual problem in that fanon with Ilya knowing how to sail, it's just not likely he learned that during his service rather then by himself.
Couldn't help but remeber Gibs from NCIS and his numerous boats in the basement

Vipera_Berus89,

Besides, don't we LOVE wet Illya?

YES!!!

About the air hose incident. The crew was aware of the scene and David was supposed to act like he was panicking so I can see why they didn't help. They didn't think it was real panic.The director decided not to use the film of David panicking. They did a reshoot. I thought that a very proper thing to do.

I'm not the worlds best swimmer, and I'm not afraid of the water. Have been boating many times and used to swim off the boat. Not so much anymore. Now I go to a health club to swim.

[Vipera_Berus89]

lindafishes8, yes, I understand that))) Hazards of doing an acting job TOO well, people may losing the sense of what's real and what's an act. And yes, I'll agree with you on the propriety of not using that film. I'd say it was a right decision.

I like water... I just don't like being in the water if I'm not sure I can safely reach the shore (or stand up and touch the bottom with my feet)))). And there is that issue with panicking, which I'm trying hard to get over...

[lindafishes8]

Vipera_Berus89,

And there is that issue with panicking, which I'm trying hard to get over...

I used to be afraid of it also, but one summer, I went swimming almost every day and that helped me lose my fear of the water. I learned how to "drown-proof" myself. It's a way of staying in one place, totally relaxing and pushing your hands down together, taking a breath and relaxing again. Your face is in the water most of the time. I did this with ease for over an hour in water 10 feet deep. The trick is not to panic. Easier said than done, I know, but doable.

[Vipera_Berus89]

lindafishes8, wow, thank you so much! Sounds not so easy, but I'm really going to try this. After all, it's all in the mind, that means it's beatable.

[lindafishes8]

Vipera_Berus89, Yes, give it a try. There must be some information about "drown-proofing" on line. It really is quite easy and a great way to relax. And NOT drown!

[Vipera_Berus89]
