Awkward Interview with Christoph Waltz - Alita: Battle Angel 

Christoph is intelligent and consistent, he gives similar response to all interviewers . Alita Battle Angel is such a good movie

I’m such a Christoph waltz fangirl

He's right. He plays the charcter and moves on to the next movie/job. It's up to us (the customer) who are fans of the Alita material to make our own minds/ theories about the character.

Anyone who watches this and thinks Christoph is being awkward or aggressive clearly hasn’t watched many of his interviews. This is him. He never talks about the character, he wants you to think for yourself. He was clearly giving the interviewer a hint not to ask too much about his recent stint at directing with a smile and glint in his eye. This is typical of him. If you don’t like him, fair enough but at least do a little research or watch some interviews with him before making a judgement.

I swear, Christoph Waltz is just too smart for like the 95% of the population. And a lot of people just don't get his irony or he wanting to have REAL conversation while being interviewed and not doing PR shit (no for f*ck sake its not his job - thats the PR job not his) or answering stupid and shallow questions. They call him rude or mean while he seems a genuinely nice guy who actually likes to talk. He has very dry sense of humor, I get it, which I suppose its pretty difficult to understand for non-european people, but as an European, I relate to him so much. I don't find him rude or anything like that, au contraire. My advice? Try to ask him some real and intelligent questions the next time instead of lame questions such as "mmmh James cameron is famous so it must be easy work for him!!!!111!!xdxdxd" or the SAME OLD QUESTIONS "mmmh describe ur character!!111". Try to have a real and honest conversation. Fun fact, before you interview an actor you should be actually interested in his job and the philosophy behind it, not just want to promote a movie (which you probably didn't even watch - and this looks like the case) because your boss told you to do that. But I guess these are just my two cents...

Holy shhh-, it's like Waltz is attacking the interviewer yet Not cause he is kinda actually teaching him to think more critical. Intense interview yet very smart. I respect him even more now, I love his acting he has that sense of strong confidence yet fun mannerism. He reminds me of my respected art teacher before where he only gives A or an F and it's pretty much up to us the student to say if we deserved it or not if he ask that question 1 on 1 cause I believe he is teaching us to be confident and think more critically for ourselves.

I hate the way the Independent spun this into some kind of big deal. They said he was 'under fire' or something for what I see as a friendly, if slightly eccentric exchange. I suppose it's no surprise they covered it in that way, a while later they went on to smear the whole Alita fanbase... Think someone at Independent has it in for this movie, possibly one of Cameron's haters.

He is a little Germanic in his approach, not too accommodating a little argumentative and skeptical towards the interviewer. Doesn’t seem to have worked with this guy before doesn’t want to answer standard questions about how he feels. It must be annoying having to answer the same questions after some time that you finished filming and left that character behind a while ago. Now you have to sell it for a second time since it seems to be part of the contract these days. Having to tell how wonderful everything was and what a genius the cast and crew has been. I’m sure being a great international actor for many years now he chooses his script and director carefully but many things can be different than you expected them to be and the end product sometimes has changed from what you intended or expected. The dumbing down of things is an international phenomena and he tries to resist.

How about resposting your other Alita interviews? Always like seeing the cast interviewed again, although I could go watch the longer video this is taken from I suppose.

So in this film, Christoph became a bounty hunter in the cyberpunk era

Incredible movie! The real stars are the visual artists.

I really respect Christoph Walts he wants everyone to see the artistry behind his acting

This film had james cameron all over it was Robert Rodriguez and Christoph waltz, Quinton tarrentino buddies involved. It hit me like total recall. Terminator and star trek stratos show all in one. All had been done already I wonder if christoph waltz liked doing it when he talks about it being his job

You can really tell Christoph Waltz was sleeping through this movie, and who can blame him? He’s a serious actor…and was handed this dogshit.

INCREDIBLE MOVIE

Omg no wonder he was perfect for king shultz

The work awkward is only put in the title as a sensationalism. Mr. Waltz is actually being really nice here trying to accommodate the other and explain himself, he could have easily just refused to go into this subject at all. I'm still trying to figure out why he's often being described as a tough subject to interview, so far I've only seen him honest and open with his answers, even sometimes making efforts to reach out and be friendly.

Its always a good movie when Christoph is involved

I could pick out when the film was on blue screen with other characters were in front.

are you hiding people behind those background?

So why can't he talk about THE STARE ..anyone help me out? no sarcastic sheet pleeze. The evil eye.....el ojo malo YIKES ! Chris don't put the German whammy on me ..Maybe ill start goose stepping Paolo

AWKWARD. = CLICKBAIT.. WALTZ IS BEING HIMSELF.....why do you think you need to appeal to our "gossiping nature?

CW❤️

It’s like arguing with modern Socrates

He gets paid to do a job, and does what is expected by those who pay him is all I see. Do you think you would like someone to analyze your attitude about YOUR work?

He is really terrible at being interviewed honestly. Its almost like he takes questions as a form of personal attack. He needs to chill and work on his politeness.

waltz always seemed to me like the most prolific adrenochrome user. #savethechildren

Lol, wow. I felt it was a very warm character. Was that hard to play a roll so opposite yourself? Lol. Just kiddin

I get a real passive aggressive vibe from this. Part of your job Waltz, is to talk about the movie and your role in it positively. PR is part of the job mate.

To be honest，I got nothing out of this interview Christoph is not responsive and this interview is a failure to say the truth. Christoph being a good actor doesn’t necessarily justify this clip to be a good interview itself

What a terrible person.
