Val: a crazy document on Val Kilmer, damaged but magnificent star
Madmartigan is one of the most famous roles in Val Kilmer. To greet his talent, First shared its ten unforgettable rolesand he appears in a good place, just like that of Iceman in front of Tom Cruise, which he had been able to resume recently in his suite, Maverickby staging with emotion despite his illness.
“Madmartigan in Willow (written by George Lucas) is the medieval-fantastic version of the Han Solo archetype, We write about the classic of Ron Howard’s fantasy. A charming scoundrel, fighter/Filou emeritus that looks at the naive hero (Willow/Luke Skywalker) with wonder, and who will seduce Princess Badass (Sorsa/Leia) … Enough of this counter anthropology: Kilmer is by far the star of this very funny film, fighting with the crazy Hollywood heroes Or a well -felt valve -see this unpaid scene where he disguises himself as a woman to avoid a jealous husband, or this grandiose moment when, shot with the magic potion, he breaks his mouth in the snow by making his sword are moving to impress Willow. Kilmer could not have resumed this beautiful role in the cursed series Willow In 2023: we will only see it in archive images, and his voice will be ensured (as on the document Valve) by that of his son. Would you have loved seeing an old man Madmartigan? Too bad, he will be condemned to remain eternally young, in the DreamTime cinema … “
Why was Willow 2 never been for 35 years
And about its performance in Top Gun and his supposed rivalry with Tom Cruise:
“As he explained in the formidable document ValveKilmer did not want the role of Iceman and the scenario ” stupid “ of Top Gunin which he read a glorification “Hyper masculinity”of “Machism” and “War”. But on contract with Paramount, he didn’t really have a choice. Destiny is sometimes generous … a little asshole, a little touching (he just wants us to respect the rules!), His iceman is the perfect antithesis of Maverick, the disciplined pilot in front of the burned head. Intense rivalry, but never caricatured: Kilmer does not need to force his natural charisma and plays with subtle nuances, between arrogant look and a smirk that says a lot. Tom Cruise’s career owes him more than we think. “
