00:00 Everyone saw it.
00:02 I don't know anyone who didn't see "We Must Save Soldier Ryan".
00:06 The audition was really special.
00:14 In the scene I play, I'm in a house whose facade was completely blown up by a bomb.
00:23 So my wife and two children live in that place.
00:27 Tom Hanks arrives with his group of GIs, of soldiers.
00:31 And I ask him to take the children to put them in safety.
00:36 Because I know the Germans are still there.
00:38 There are snipers everywhere. I'm afraid for the children.
00:40 I ask them to put them in safety.
00:42 And so the audition, well, several auditions,
00:45 because I went through four auditions for the role.
00:48 The first audition, in fact, you had to be on a chair, standing on a chair,
00:54 pleading with the American soldiers to take the children.
01:00 So, imagine, you're on a desk and you have to go completely into this pain,
01:08 in this fear, in this panic of not having slept.
01:11 I started completely, I went all the way, all the way, all the way.
01:15 And I think that's what there is, that plus the fact of being Norman myself,
01:19 I think that's what made them call me for a second, they called me for a third.
01:25 And in the fourth, it was Steven Spielberg who was there.
01:27 It was...
01:33 They're everywhere, you've gone through Wallonia, you have to take the children.
01:39 It's going to saturate the sound.
01:46 It makes me happy, it makes me humble at the same time,
01:49 because I come from a small village in Normandy,
01:52 and I managed to work with one of the greatest in cinema.
01:57 cinéma.
