2. Anime Shinichiro Watanabe, Makoto Shinkai, Hideaki Anno — They are genuinely interested in the human condition, whether it’s supernatural elements or really simple stories about people relating to each other in the face of great difficulties. Shinichiro Watanabe is probably the best known “Cowboy Bebop” which is my favorite show. Period. by Makoto Shinkai “Your name” It was actually a big reason why I was drawn to “Archive 81”, because it’s kind of a love story devoted to space and time. I don’t take this word lightly: I think they are geniuses.
3. “Les Misérables” by Victor Hugo I used to pass by that book all the time in high school, but “Man, it’s a volume. I don’t want to make promises.” Then a teacher did a little adaptation with Liam Neeson and I said, “I have to stop watching this and read this book right now.” Jean Valjean, I mean, who doesn’t love this guy? He’s a true definition of a hero. And Victor Hugo – what impressed me most about this book was that it covers the prison walls for 20 pages. I’ve grown to really appreciate this level of detail and painstaking dedication to painting a crystal clear picture of what you want to share.
4. David Bowie I remember reading something [at “David Bowie is,” the 2018 Brooklyn Museum exhibition] He said he was interested in everything from what happened on stage, from what was worn to the curtains. He reminded me, “There are ways to cut corners and it’s never worth it. You have time. If you have something to give, you should really give it all.”
5. Bicycles I used to ride my sister’s bike when I was a kid because it was the only bike we had. I’ve never owned a bike until this summer. I’ve been working with this trainer and have always admired his bike sequences. He sold me a used bike. I said, “Mamoudou, what [expletive] Is it you? Now you can buy a bike. Get a bike.” I now have this particular Aethos that I am obsessed with. And also a Crux and a Whole City Cosmic StallionI bought it because of the name. It’s a great bike, but I’d be lying to you if I didn’t tell you that.
Five Movies to Watch This Winter
6. television on the radio Most pop examples of what’s cool seem bored and disinterested to me. But there is a real passion, in TV on the Radio. Indeed, they form the basis of every character playlist I’ve ever created. What really impresses me more than anything, more than talent, is that people put their all into something. I almost don’t care about the result.
7. “The Visit” by Friedrich Durrenmatt It was the third year production at Yale. This will sound weird, but that’s when I understood why I wanted to be an actor. I loved it but there were some projects that I was very bad at. I was definitely in growing pains, so I would never say, “Oh my God, have you seen Mamoudou?” It wasn’t like. It just wasn’t happening. But in “The Visit” I played the principal and he is a philosopher and one day he gets drunk and goes home [of the man next in line to be mayor] and he says, “They’re going to kill you, and I’m going to join them.” And she tells him why. It’s sad to see someone – oh, man, sorry, now it bothers me – going against all their ideals because they are so desperate and want money. And the conversations I had on the street about this game – people were talking to me in a way I had never experienced before.
