访谈录 2013-04-17&04-19 棒球大联盟传记片《42号》主演专访

Now we have a special guest to mark the day 66 years ago when Jackie Robinson became the first black player in Major League baseball. In honor of Jackie Robinson Day every Major League player today is gonna wear the Number 42. And we’re pleased to welcome the star of the new movie "42." Chadwick Boseman plays Jackie Robinson. Great to have you, Bose.

Good morning.

And Bose, it'll also be great, you guess a blown-away box office this week and you're No. 1 and that's got to be so gratifying.

It's really satisfying and just having a great time, I mean, just having a great time.

I'll bet you guys have been to the White House. President Sbama hosted a screening(放映) as well?

That's right. That's right. It's been amazing just, just being able to have this movie be appreciated in the cultural significance of it. So, yeah, the First Lady and the President then hosted two screenings, one for kids, and the second one he hosted at night.

And the movie really firngs home how tough things were for Jackie Robinson that wasn't that long ago. I want to show a scene where he's getting booed, jeered 2 on the field. And Peewee Reese, his shortstop(游击手) comes up and talks to him. Let's take a look.

They can say all they want. We're just here to play ball.

It's just a bunch of crack pots still fighting the civil war.

Well, hell, we would have won that sum of a gun if the corn stalks would have held out. We just ran out of ammunition 3.

Better luck next time, Peewee.

Ain't going to be a next time, Jack 1. All we got's right here.

Tough stuff right there. I hear you guy hit and get in shape to play?

We, we did some really intense training. They gave me a, a trainer, Phil Carlson, who is just an amazing conditioning coach and, um, and then I had baseball coaches. So I did two-a-days, baseball practice in the morning and in the afternoon, I worked out with Phil.

And I, any, no pressure. But Jackie Robinson's widow comes up to you and says she thought in the original movie, Sidney Poitier was going to play him. You have to follow in the footsteps.

Yeah, I mean, there is no way you can, you could live up to that. So I just told her that I would work as hard as I could and that I'll do my best to honor him and try to give her a sense of what I knew about him already. And I said, I will research and find out as much as I can. You tell me as much as you can. And I said I'll put my whole life into it.

Well, it is so clear on the screen. You did a magnificent job. Congratulations on that  lot of success.

Thank you.

Chadwick, thanks very much.
