00:00The only thing that matters is what they feel, and how much they feel.
00:30I want to be a great king, Baba. Just like you.
00:41You've been gone too long, Alice. And he will be gone before long.
00:47Who will be gone? What has happened?
01:00In these lessons, I will attempt to penetrate your mind. You will attempt to resist. Prepare yourself.
01:31You're Alice, of course.
01:39Absalom?
02:00Director Steven Spielberg called him the best actor in the world. British actor Pete Postlewaite has died.
02:30Postlewaite plays the sick father of the character of Cillian Murphy, and ends up dying in the course of the film.
02:41The damages that the illness in the life of the actor had caused on his body are especially evident in this interpretation.
03:01Some of the best scenes of this gothic fantasy by Tim Burton are those of Edward learning from his inventor in the mansion where they live together.
03:18This man is played, of course, by the legend of terror, Vincent Price.
03:31The characteristic actor was a favorite of all of Burton's life, of whom he became friends while working on his appropriately titled short film, Vincent.
03:39Unfortunately, Price suffered a combination of progressive lung disease and Parkinson's at the time of filming Scissorhands, which made the filming especially difficult.
03:49I know it's a little early for Christmas, Edward, but I have a present for you.
03:59His schedule was reduced and this film was the last one he worked on before succumbing to lung cancer in 1993.
04:07Yuusaku Matsuda, Black Rain
04:10Here I am, Nick! Here, almost as near as when Red Cherry died!
04:18Although many actors have chosen to work despite their illnesses, Yuusaku Matsuda is one of the few who rejected treatment after a perfect interpretation.
04:28He was diagnosed with bladder cancer in 1988, but he rejected chemotherapy because he believed it would negatively affect his work in the film Black Rain, which was about to be released.
04:40As expected, his condition worsened during filming and when it ended, the cancer had spread to his spine and lungs.
04:48Matsuda's interpretation in the film as the villain Koji Sato is chillingly electric, but it is difficult not to wonder how many more years we could have had if he had received the help he needed.
05:01Pedro Armendariz, From Russia With Love
05:04What a place you've got here. The Emperor Constantine built it as a reservoir 1,600 years ago.
05:09Before accepting a role in this film, Pedro Armendariz played Yamuga in the historical drama The Conqueror.
05:16It is believed that the delivery played an important role in his death, as he was shot less than 400 km from the center of nuclear tests in Nevada.
05:25Armendariz suffered from neck terminal cancer, which caused him a lot of pain during filming.
05:31Why I stay in this mad business?
05:33Although it could be that you find selling rugs a bore.
05:36My friend, you should be a mind reader.
05:38Despite the atrocious symptoms, he continued to work, and the cast and crew did everything possible to get his scenes shot first.
05:46Unfortunately, things ended up being too much, which led the actor to take his own life.
05:52I no longer please you.
05:58Be still.
05:59Jason Roberts, Magnolia
06:01I don't want to do this.
06:05Sit here.
06:09I can see the things, you know.
06:10Speaking of Magnolia, the screenwriter and director Paul Thomas Anderson has cited his father's fight against cancer as an inspiration for the character of Earl Padraig.
06:20He wrote it thinking of Jason Roberts, who would later refer to the role as prophetic, as he said it was appropriate to be able to contribute what he knew.
06:29I can't hold on to this any longer.
06:39It is a heartbreaking interpretation, even more so because of Roberts' unique experience.
06:44The actor apparently suffered lung cancer at the time, a disease that would be the cause of his death just a year after the film's premiere.
07:00You don't look that bad.
07:02Spencer Tracy, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner
07:05This has been a very strange day. I don't think that's putting it too strongly. I might even say it's been an extraordinary day.
07:11At the 1967 Academy Awards, Katherine Hepburn was awarded Best Actress for her role in the historical interracial romantic comedy Guess Who's Coming to Dinner.
07:22Despite the compliments, she never saw it complete.
07:25This is because it was an exhausting premiere for her partner and co-star Spencer Tracy, who suffered from several diseases, including pulmonary edema and type 2 diabetes.
07:36How are you? What's the matter? Are you having a chill?
07:39No, darling, I'm fine.
07:41The couple survived their worst days, motivated by the importance of the central theme of the film.
07:47It's even rumored that Hepburn's tears during Tracy's speech at the end are genuine,
07:53moved by the doubly relevant feeling that true love can endure anything.
07:59And there is nothing, absolutely nothing, that your son feels for my daughter that I didn't feel for Christina.
08:07John Cazale, The Deer Hunter
08:11This is not it! Definitely, this is not it!
08:14They changed it! No kidding!
08:15Somehow they changed it!
08:16Although John Cazale's name doesn't ring a bell right away, I'm sure you recognize him from movies like El Padrino, among other great titles.
08:24The actor's ephemeral career consisted of only five feature films, but they were all nominated for Best Film.
08:30With such a history, it is not surprising that he was a very beloved figure in the film industry.
08:36Robert De Niro and Meryl Streep, his partner, were two of his loyal followers.
08:40You know, he wasn't like anybody I'd ever met.
08:42It was the specificity of him and his sort of humanity.
08:48De Niro even paid the necessary insurance for Cazale to participate in The Deer Hunter,
08:53even though he had been diagnosed with terminal cancer.
08:56The actor made an extraordinary final performance in the film, although unfortunately he didn't come back to see it.
09:03Hey, Stash!
09:05I said no.
09:11Are you going to shoot me?
09:14Huh?
09:16Yeah.
09:18Raúl Julia, Street Fighter
09:20You'll have a perfect soldier.
09:22You mean a perfect killer.
09:24Let's not quibble over definition.
09:26As a consummate bilingual actor of theater and cinema, you may be surprised that Raúl Julia's last film
09:31was an action film based on Street Fighter that was very criticized,
09:35but everything makes sense when you hear the reasons that led him to participate.
09:39I was hoping to face Guile personally on the battlefield.
09:45One gentleman warrior to another.
09:47The Puerto Rican actor had been living in secret with a stomach cancer
09:51and wanted to take the role of General Bison as a tribute to his children, fans of the video game series.
09:57Despite his weakened state and acrobatics, Julia made one of the best performances of the film.
10:04Why settle for mere money?
10:07After I defeat the AM, what if I were to share the country with you?

10:25Chadwick Boseman, Varias
10:28The world was moved when Chadwick Boseman was declared dead in August 2020.
10:33While working through his pain, he eased it for others,
10:36giving comfort at the bedside to children battling cancer.
10:39We all have a superhero in us.
10:43Without anyone knowing it, he saved his family and close friends.
10:47The actor had suffered from colon cancer for most of his career.
10:52He was diagnosed in 2016, the same year he debuted in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Captain America Civil War.
11:00Task Force will decide who brings in Barnes.
11:05Don't bother Miss Romanoff.
11:08I'll kill him myself.
11:10Although the seriousness of his fight against cancer is unknown,
11:13the effects of the disease never seemed to affect the results of his phenomenal work.
11:18His interpretation as Chella in several films meant a lot to fans,
11:23while his roles in films like The Five Bloods and My Rainy's Black Bottom
11:29showed even more strength and versatility as an actor.
11:39Which of these last interpretations impacted you the most?
