There are some interviews with him that he did in Europe, which are now available on RU-vid. This was an American interview, but shortly after really getting established, he stopped doing interviews on American TV. He would do interviews for magazines, such as Vanity Fair, but no American television. I read where he never got the respect he felt he deserved when he was just getting started, such as on TV, so he rejected ( American television), because it rejected him.
Jack Nicholson beherrscht hervorragend die Schauspiel Kunst. In all seinen Filmen ist Jack Nicholson eine Klasse für sich 💎. Schon alleine in Batman 1989 als Joker. Grandios, perfekt als Joker. Schauspiel Kunst auf höchstem Niveau 💎. In Shinnig ist die Mimik( Gesichtsausdruck) Meisterhaft 💎.
This is the coolest channel on RU-vid!! So many archived gems like this one. Jack's mannerisms in this remind me a little of John Malkovich for some reason.
Thank you at 'SMU Jones Film' - not JUST for Jack "Breaking" classic film/film behavior down. But for this GREAT female interviewer in the ORANGE jumpsuit - fully-engaged, very sophisticated observations/interps herself. She came fully-prepped for this interview - and it showed/shows all the way thru. It raises the level a few notches. Because she IS making such intelligent remarks back at Jack.
Not a jumpsuit......but I get what you're saying. What I like about the early 1970s is the boots---particularly the men's boots. A lot of men, like Jack here in this film clip, wore boots at that time. Not cowboy boots, mind you...but "fashionable boots"---with a zipper on the side. That was all the rage back then.....early 70s. Men haven't dressed like that since....
I totally got the ending of 5 Easy Pieces. When he jumped into the back of the truck I knew he didn't know why he did it. So I didn't need to know either.
Only recently saw 'Five Easy Pieces' and various commentary that seemed to me not in any way to understand the character Bob. Good to see that Mr Nicholson understands him fully (hardly surprising, I suppose), and how admirably articulate is his explanation. Only predictable, of course, that the interviewer refuses to listen to a word he says. My own take on Bob is that he's an American Meursault, described by Camus himself as follows: 'Mersault is afflicted by what I call the folly of sincerity (la folie de la sincerité). This character is distinguished by his never wanting to say more than he feels. To someone who proposes marriage and asks him if he is in love, he replies that he does not know or that he is not. He never says yes, as he is never sure of his feelings. When asked if he grieved at his mother's funeral, you'll notice that he neither admits nor denies having grieved. It is this te-nacious refusal, this fascination with the authenticity of what one is and what one feels that gives meaning to the whole novel.’
Lord, his mind, his conviction, his hands, his mustache, his smile, his vocabulary, his style...dont even get me started on his eyes, sternocledomastoid muscle, or lips. im a puddle personified when it comes to Jack.
In the book "Jack's,Life"" (1994), it says that Jack will do interviews for European television, but not American. He does do interviews for magazines such as Vanity Fair. When Jack was just getting started, he did some work on television. But he never really caught on in that medium. He felt he didn't get the respect he deserved. He felt rejected by television, and took it badly. So when he really caught on in film, he refused all offers from television, including interviews. This interview is interesting, because he's had two hit movies, "Easy Rider" and "Five Easy Pieces,." You actually hear some disparaging comments about television in some of his earlier films. But this interview,with a very capable interviewer, and Jack in all his brilliance, is truly great.
