Jodie Foster Breaks Down Her Career, from “Silence of the Lambs” to “Hotel Artemis” 

LOL

Well... Taxi Driver *is* a great film

Maybe she sees the film as a piece of art she was lucky to be a part of, while Depp sees himself as a piece of art who just happened to be in some situations that was filmed 🤣

She's a director, she has to be able to watch her movies with a level of disconnect that a lot of actors wouldn't be able to.

She has bigger balls

...well, scorsese wanted her

Crazy to think that if SOLT had gone with first choice casting, it would have been Gene Hackman and Michelle Pfeiffer. Which I guess *could* have worked, yet Starling and Lecter are probably THE most iconic roles in the careers of Foster and Hopkins.

i bet she fights with beavers

Carl Crow omg 🤨

She is my favorite actress

she looks great ...lokks like early 40s, beautiful lady!

"Unproblematic"?.. What?...

Ligma as in not problematic

@@randomsambero Wtf do you mean by problematic.

@@Scatamahatta being unproblematic simply means staying out of drama and being a chill person

Well, she has a pretty high IQ to start with.

Mysterywhiteboy78 how much ?

I just hear a contemporary...

@@Spthomas47 love her.oh my

@@marymorgan6535 same. ✌🏽

fung csmfung yesss

Yep and the fact that shes Jodie Foster loaded and connected had nothing to do with it.

Also, beat people on the head enough times until you get what you want. o.o

@@ibebangin8101 Jodie wasn't a huge star at the beginning, so stop with your 'nose-up-in-the-air' prissiness.

Deepika Padukone yes and try not to be raped by the producers

Which movies?

@@nickname527 definitely taxi driver and silence of the lambs, but i dont about the third one, maybe panic room?

@@fizzy249 Yeah, I thought Taxi Driver and Silence of the lambs aswell, maybe it is Panic Room.

@@nickname527 Nell, The Accused too

@@vampylolita Yeah, I could definitely see them show those films.

the accused was too realistic for me-what an actor

Michelle Pfeiffer was the first choice for Silence of the lambs. I like her but I don't think she would have worked as well as Foster did. Annette Bening had to drop out of Batman returns so pfeiffer ended up playing catwoman. Both of those changes seemed like improvements over the first choice.

​@@chrispa9573Annette Bening was going to be Catwoman? I had no idea

Should teach us all, esp. girls and women, to advocate hard for what we want. Don’t wait or be afraid to ask for your worth.

Johnny Depp: "can't watch my own movies" Jodi Foster watching her own movie "This is great"

"I won't Jodie Foster this kind of behaviour" - Trixie Mattel to Katya

And naturally; which is a relief.

funny....i was thinking exactly the contrary... she did nothing really . and the roles she did got were because she "smacked people in the head in order to get it"....anyways...who cares....maybe buddy

menifestation7 "she did nothing"? did you just not watch the video? In that kind of business, she has to take those opportunities. You don't expect someone to just sit around and wait for calls, you go out there and show them you deserve those roles if you know you'd be perfect for them. "Smacking people in the head" could be her metaphor for being persistent, and that wasn't given to all her roles.

@@imamyousomtimes You are quite the simpleton. Jodie didn't actually smack anyone upside the head. What she did was quietly persist in her pursuit of the film roles that she felt would fit her.

Yass!! .. Great comment/ blasé blah

Yass! Great Comment/blasé blah

She is not only a great actress and director but also very intelligent. She also speaks French at a native level, so much that she does the voice dubbing for her characters in French. It is amazing to read the comments of French people in French interviews saying that she does not have an accent in that language.

@@jeylful Yah she went to a French school. Speaking French at early age certainly helps with the accent. Hence she doesn't have an accent.

Lauren Bennett Absolutely!

Exactly, by the way you have a beautiful last name. I've always liked it

Ugh, so twelve years old while filming Taxi Driver and you dug the final edit because you loved Straw Dogs? Some pretty hardcore stuff that makes Taxi Driver look tame in there.

I tried being persistent in what I wanted but I was told.... I was told, no...

👏🏼👏🏼

Idk if we’d all be saying that if she hadn’t taken the MENSA test. People just don’t perceive women as smart.

@@NAConen Idiot.

@@NAConen wow what an opinion

Support Film Art and the smartest

Support Film Art he’s a boy

Sophie May no she’s not

Agreed.

money does not buy class

she shuns the limelight of hollywood-so keeps a low profile

Yo I never got that when they said it explain pls 😭🤭

Bloody Venus You don’t get it?

The key word is foster

was looking for this

Omg hahaha that’s what I was thinking of this whole time

Persuaded, not forced.

Interesting to read you writing that, yet we don't know who her competitors were. Is this on the basis of she was more forceful than her rivals so she deserved it, or she played it better than the others would so she deserved it - flaws in either of those. Or cyperbole?

Probably her best.

Rhys It puts the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again... *ruff*...yes it does precious it gonna get the hose!

“Hello Cla(Rhys)

Its "evening,Clarice", not hello. And it's during there second meeting, not their first. #mandelaeffect

Rhys Hanabel Lector use to creep me out

she did talk about it

Katya?

exactly what I thought, she sould make a whole video talking about that movie haha

It would have been too much like dangerous minds.

When she turned it down then they went to Meg Ryan who also turned it down. Then they went to Jodie.

I just cannot picture Michelle as Clarice! Meg Ryan would be an interesting choice, but the film/result would be different. Jodie was a perfect choice - a strong, willful person she is.

Frail but smart is what JF brought to the role.

Didn't know that. Michelle Pfeiffer is beautiful, smart and sometimes even an excellent actress. But this? No f.....g way. Ms Foster was perfect in this role and made film history.

Lare Alexander Short exactly. Every movie she talks about, she wasn't the choice yet the fought for it n got it. It's kind of inspiring

Hollywood only worths (weirdly) dumb people and smart ones like her

*you're

gmawneydawgness Please show yourself out

Because there are hundreds of actors that think they are or just are suitable for roles and either the director or the studio have someone else in mind or they really aren’t suitable. Clooney’s Batman is a case of him being the obvious choice for everyone and failing miserably. Films are all about vision. The writers vision, the director’s vision, the actor’s vision, the studio’s financial vision. Sometimes they align, sometimes they don’t. An actor is only as good as his last job. Not even quality wise but style wise. Keanu Reeves doing Shakespeare speaks to that mismatch. So there really isn’t anything inherently wrong with her having to fight for her roles. Especially, if it’s roles she believes in. It actually adds to her performance.

Sunny Side Up I find her cameo in A Very Long Engagement amusing. She didn’t want all that French to go to waste!

omg Contact was so good

Many people speak other languages.

@@janahcoaching Not at a native level like she does. French people comment that her French is perfect without accent.

@@jeylful Well, here un Europe that's not that unusual. I speak several.

,😍

R D true

R D o

Everybody look at the number of likes right now! I have to thumbs down for Nell!

sounds like a pig snorting

Are you out the closet yet ?? I’m not judging you , I don’t Have a boyfriend or a girlfriend so I’m bymyself

Ben Swift *SHE DIDN’T GET THAT YET?!*

@@lizlemon3698 sadly no and strangely George Clooney did

That's what he said!

That creeped the s*** out of me😕

That's not considered a good film.

I loved Flightplan too, I think it's excellent, and I associate Jodie Foster with great thrillers.

Flight plan interestingly was the only female centric film released in 2005 that was a huge box office hit

Yesss I love both

That's a bold statement.

I love Contact, too. Perfect movie. Have watched it multiple times.

Mine too

It's the movie that I watch when I want to think BIG. Love her in everything.

Katya Zamolodchikova is screaming somewhere

No mention of "Flightplan" either.

Or "The Brave One."

Or the hotel new hampshire

Or freaky Friday

Her experience filming that movie was not pleasant.

Yess

I recall her praising him like there was no tomorrow. She also said he was BEAUTIFUL.

Md Rafiqu Rahman so does wes

Yes please

That would be AMAZING!!!

Yes! That would be great!

Totally!

My two favorite actresses! Both magic onscreen.

Lmaoo shut up

Yep me too

WhatisASMR she has to keep so much calm while she’s having a panic attack the whole movie. Genius!

👍

Daniel Yap SOO TRUE!😂❤️

Wym?

"I will not Jodi Foster this behavior" -Trixie Mattel 😂🤣

as soon as she said contact i jumped RIGHT to the comments

Rafael Yrigoyen - how do you know she's not acting? ;) jk

She’s pretty rated to be underrated

How is she underrated? Lol

Only explains how illustrious her career has been.

Yeah I came for that one

Yeah, she did a ton of stuff when she was young - that would be a very long video if covered all that.

Unfortunately, she did not have a good experience filming that movie.

@@newkid22 That's awful, I've never read about this, did she mention it in an interview?

Rachel Fifer definitely aging well.

She gets transfusions of baby's blood

she received the Cecile b demil award. maybe she will bag the afi. who knows

she received the Cecile b demil award. maybe she will bag the afi. who knows. she omitted maverick. wow.. and Bugsy Malone.

I remember that movie. She died at the end?

@@danahughes2239 nope

@@danahughes2239 no

I remember having a panic room while having an anxiety attack!

Slow burn heart attack the whole way through :(

WATCH IT! It's soooo good.

Omg katya made me watch contact and now it’s one of my favorite movies

that is literally why i am here

I will jodie foster this kind of behavior

Omg yes

and Foxes

MikeMJPMUNCH exactly

or Freaky Friday

Or The Little Girl Who Lived Down The Lane

OCDlove I agree w/mentioned movies

Happy Birthday!

Daniel Freeman Oh it’s not actually my birthday. I said that because of an impression of this lady that I saw on SNL and was wondering if anyone would get the reference.🤪

Haha I saw this and was just saying this in my head before I saw this. That cracked me up

haha! Well it was the logical thing to say, lol!

same

Victoria Smith you have a better shot than we'll ever have.

Hobal Grajeda Loool, the truth.

some guy had also a crush on her and he tried to kill the president of the U.S.A BACK IN 1981.

Clarice Starlang way too perfect lol

Worked for Sarah Paulson 😂

I'm a 28 year old male who thinks she's insanely gorgeous.

His name is ROBERT Paulsen.

+Rachel Lazenby oops..😂😂

Well, you have a better chance with her than any guy does.

I love that film and have it on DVD, and Carny too that came out around the same time.

pam0626 So do I, it's a favorite among my friends. I also live Carny, saw it last week again, great experience.

Foxes came out in 1980

SarsLeitao And "Bugsy Malone"!

That's Jamie Lee Curtis and not Jodie.

Thats Jamie Lee Curtis. In other words the Activia yogurt lady.

IKR. So many people don't know about the original.

Julian Stefano Smolcic i always thought it was Jodie!!! 🤦🏻‍♀️😅
