Javier Bardem Breaks Down His Most Iconic Characters | GQ 

"But that's what they asked him to say."

I love how when you say "one of the greatest movie villain ever", I think "Which one?". Truly iconic.

@@isaacgrajo1292 I was thinking about his performance in "No Country For Old Men", but you're right!

@@drummats6933 His villainous performance in Skyfall was truly mesmerizing. Definetely one of the best Bond villains of all time and my second favorite Bond villain in Daniel Craig's movie after Mads Mikkelsen's Le Chiffre

Even attempting to be humble is a good thing. Was he genuine ? I don't know he's an actor.

yep.

films*

just watched it not long ago, so good. didnt end the way i expected

I get paid to smoke weed on my RU-vid channel lmao😅 The pandemicc showed alot of people you can’t rely on a 9-5 solely on its own👌💯you need other hustles

It was very good. Don't think it's one of the greatest though 😕

Eyyyyyyyy

searched for this one lol

That Suppresed shotgun was nasty...I want one! Ya know, to shoot watermelons and stuff 😄

I was wondering if Javier knew the pun he was making. If only he’d talked about how that air-powered bolt gun made a bigger impact for the film than the silenced shotgun. However I think he wanted to avoid hitting the nail on the head, when it comes to weapon related puns.

all jokes aside, woody harrelson's acting in that scene was amazing. especially the way he conveyed his character's fear through his unsteady breathing. just outstanding

Anton is kinda similar to Halloween's Michael Myers.

Wdym villain. thats what you call ABSOLUTE SIGMA MALE WITH THEIR HIGHLY CONDENSED GRINDSET.

@@santajimi meh not really

And then the Knight comes and puts his head on a stick

@@allaboutnothing6552 this is my favorite part of RU-vid "discussions." Poster one: I kinda sorta have this opinion. Poster two: no, no you don't All other posters: NANI??!! Chigur is a lot like a vocal Michael Myers. He can't do anything but destroy. Rather, it's all he really wants to do. So he'll do it for a million bucks a hit or on a literal coin toss. But, rain or shine, October 31st or Cinco dey Mayo, he's gonna do it whether you want him to, whether he feels like it, and completely regardless of if he gets any fame, infamy, or any attention that lives to tell about it whatsoever. I'd compare him to Heath Ledger's joker, or, ironically given the casting in both productions, Brolin's Thanos.

That struck me too. George Clooney does the same thing in his episode. Class acts.

Totally, it's such a team effort, and it's always awesome to see masterful actors like these guys reminding us of that, and the trust they place in the crew, the writer(s), the director etc.

i know this sounds cynical. he's on camera, you don't think you would consciously act a certain way if you were being interviewed on camera

standard Hollywood discourse. everyone is the best, everyone is beautiful, everyone is wonderful.

Watch it tho, he'll kill you

How much you ever lost on a coint toss?

@@chasehedges6775 10 million

so spot on.

This is what you get when an actor takes his job seriously. You can tell in his performance that he wanted absolutely nothing but the best for the audience.

Yeah I no I still have nightmares when I see him..🤣🤣🤣

True that, wouldn't be surprised if that was the real owner of that gas station and he said he wanted a small cameo as part of his payment for letting them use his location lol👍

@@bluecollar825 He's a veteran actor. Been in other movies.

I was thinking that too. Whoever playing him was amazing as well. Entire movie was

@@bluecollar825 that was a known actor and a set.....................:..,

@@1234KeithB ty @handsome blackman corrected me already 👍

Skyfall was where I was introduced to Javier. He's an incredible actor.

And i can totally feel some sympathy for Silva because of his feud with the MI6 instead of the entire British goverment. He's the second best Bond villain in Craig's movie and one of the greatest Bond villains of all time

He was so good that I wished they left him alive for another movie or two.

The blonde look made him seem creepy to me.

Skyfall was the best of the Daniel Craig Bond films.

Same here. I love him.

Joker. Dark knight.

If they ever make a movie of Blood Meridian, the Judge might be better. Just a matter of who would be cast.

watch more films

@@orangewarm1 tell us you’re pretentious without using those words.

ooooh that'd be good!

or a Michael Mann's movie

@@warkopvalhalla708 he played a role in collateral

If he tried his hand at Gomez Addams would be great

It's actually kind of crazy that he hasn't been in a QT movie yet based on his love for the craft and the people he's worked with. He loves and respects good directors to the point where he would be golden putty in any capable hands.

deep thinker? HAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAH

@@lplein8429 yep & something you’re definitely not, obviously.

@@angelotrinidad6888 just because he said hahaha?

@@sassymenses he said what?

@@angelotrinidad6888 obviously, you aren't a deep thinker either.

Agreed. Along with Goldfinger, Goldeneye and Casino Royale.

Oh,he is one of the underappreciated actors. He is amazing!

Yes! The 'Flying Dream' sequence is one of the most gorgeous moments in movies that I have seen.

He delivers a great performance in a great film as well.

Yes!

He's regarded as the greatest psychopathic villain in the history of cinema... Anton chigurh is the most accurate and detailed psychopath according to some psychologists

The cattle gun and the silenced shotgun were both woah moments

I just watched that film recently, it was good. I watched a lot of I Love Lucy so I was kinda skeptical of him playing Ricky, but he played that role well. I was sucked into the film and enjoyed the story.

Me too, wish to know more details about his character

That was one of, if not, _the,_ worst film that I have ever seen. Truly awful.

@@Sulu-sw3zo and that's the great thing about it. The audience was completely split on it. You either love it or hate it.

@@VinnyChezni Yeah, me personally, I find it an absolute masterpiece with all its Christian allegory (even though I'm an atheist). Truly one of the greatest films of the 2010s.

@@Sulu-sw3zo Thank you! I found it unbearable.

👍👍💯💯

Vicky Christina Barcelona, Pirates of the Caribbean, Mother!. I'm surprised not too many people talk about his performance in Vicky Christina Barcelona because his wife, Penelope Cruz stole the show, he did fantastic job in that movie. When he speaks spanish, it's like listening to good old music

I don't think he's underrated. He's an A lister, won an Oscar, played one of the best Bond villains of all time, he got enough recognition

@@15Candles only one oscar?

@@cybredeux yeah only one Oscar for playing one of the greatest villains in cinema history

He got an oscar I think he's well recognized. But certainly there are worse actors who may have made more money

@@jdt8983 I mostly mean role wise he hasn't gotten as much praise as he deserves

I imagine that he is talking about Josh Brolin, but I ain’t sure

@@danielhaccou9902 Actually, I read at Indiewire today that he ment as you said Josh Brolin! So, I'm sorry for the false alarm😅!

It was Josh Brolin! He’s said it in other interviews

Yes! I saw another one of these charachter recaps of Javier and they also missed that one. Collateral is a fun enough movie but that small role of his is my favorite part of it.

I don’t like action movies (generally), but I wonder if someone has posted his scene somewhere so I don’t need to sit through the whole film to see it, lol!

@@ZZBoomslang you should give it a try, it's one of the greatest movies out there.

@@lucianaromulus1408 I'm usually not a Tom Cruise fan, but watched Javier's scene shortly after I posted this comment and it was great, so maybe I'll give the rest a watch.

@@ZZBoomslang if you hate it you could always turn it off lol but I swear its fantastic 👌

I mean, watching anyone open an enveloppe on screen, especially with one of those mini knife things is just nice to look at
