Watched it in Truro, Cornwall the other night. About 10 people in the audience. 2 walk-outs halfway through. But the rest of us who stayed enjoyed the movie, I think. We were reverentially silent; very little laughter at some very funny stuff in the movie. I think we were all very thoughtful on the way out, which is great.
I saw the movie and thought the movie had a clear and coherent structure that many critics didn’t seem to understand. It’s a mixture of an Aesop fable with the magical realism of Latin American literature. I didn’t see anything that was unclear. In interviews, Adam Driver said the film leaves you open to interpret it but that’s not the nature of fables, which are moralistic by nature; the movie had a clear message. At the start of the movie, Catalina is probably in the middle of psychosis, and I think some of the things we see, like the moving statues in the drive, can be seen in that manner. I didn’t find the monologues preachy or out of place in the context they were given. It also helps to review the Catilinarian conspiracy right before the fall of the Roman Republic.
You never saw this movie, you're simply lying. Anyone who saw this movie will say that it had no plot of any kind, had no explanations for what was happening or why, every scene was random and pointless, and Shia acted like a transy scumbag the whole time.
I agree. Not to mention, Megalopolis is an absolute masterpiece motion picture. I congratulate Mr. Coppola for making what I believe to be his first great film since the 70s.
I happened to have a day off and was walking past the cinema and noticed JB was playing. This was pre internet and I hadn’t really heard much about the movie… but I saw it was a QT film… and gaaaawd dang… did I remember Pulp Fiction, which I’d seen 3 years prior, also by chance. I knew I was in for an enjoyable ride as soon as that 70s beat started and both the tone of the film and choice of shots let me realize that another masterpiece of story telling was going to unfold… a quiet “little” movie with excellent character pieces for everyone involved. Just a pure and subtle delight.
Thank you very much for sharing this marvelous interview, your questions were spot on. You are right that he possesses a magical power, which is that he loves people and their silly and weird ways, and I don’t mean that in a trivial or shallow way. It is more the kind of love and affection that sees and recognizes people’s flaws and short-comings more distinctively but he never brings the person just limits to these. I’m certain that this is a quality much demanded in today’s world, but one that is regretfully lacking in so many people. Recently I’ve been watching Lucky Hank and there was this episode five and it blew my mind. Hank does a really nasty thing and when he eventually reaps what he had sown , though it was certainly not the outcome he had wished for, Bob Odenkirk simply manages to depict all facets of this and in the end he even gives him the dignity he was talking about. Once again thanks a lot for the interview and keep up the good work Daniela
that episode 8 with Dona and Natalie was probably my favourite in terms of “feeling” things. The way they portrayed experiencing stress caused by another person was so accurate. Idk I just enjoyed the writing so much in that episode. I was so anxious for Natalie
Guess I’m one of the few who has jackie brown at tops for fave movie. Would’ve been interesting to see deniro as max cherry. Also did deniro get to say much on this video?
As someone who used to work as a chef, this show lowkey triggers me. I don't miss the industry and this show reminds me of the hardships and stress that come with the job.
The Bear hits home with it's writing. Easily my favorite show of all time. Its arguably the most emotionally wrecking thing I've ever seen. Beautiful video man, you got yourself a subscriber
De Niro wanted to play Max Cherry but QT already had Robert Forster in mind specifically for that role, which he killed. Sometimes tho I wonder how it would've looked had De Niro took that role instead of Louis.
do you know who nas is? he's been interviewed by harvard professors for rhymes he wrote as a teenager. calling him illiterate is a pretty extreme and likely racist judgement to pass on someone who is lauded as one of the most intellectually sharp emcees to ever touch a mic
can we all just admit jackie brown was a dud haha gotta be deniros worst role ever. im a fan of like resevoir dogs, pulp fiction, the godftather part 2, goodfellas, cape fear, king of comedy. jackie brown ehhhhhhhhhhhh
I don't think DeNiro was crap in it, but I agree it wasn't a great role no. The role and his work in the film doesn't measure up to his work in any of his most impressive contributions to cinema like raging bull, heat, taxi driver etc. But it's a decent film nonetheless.
He was fine but I agree that it's not my fav De Niro role. He originally wanted to play Max Cherry and it would've been interesting to see him in play that character instead of Louis.
