Michael Mann Talks about “Heat” | On Location w/ Josh Horowitz 

Michael Mann still sharp as ever. Heat is the ultimate Los Angeles film.

One of the best directors alive

Thank you for this from all of the HEAT fans all over the world.

From Australia I was in LA on a breif stopover and I had 4 hours... This film meant so much to me that I took a taxi here and checked it out. That was my entire LA visit. I could have gone anywhere.

one of if not the best film ever made...

9 people gave a thumbs down to this ?!? They got a 'born to lose tattoo' on their chests doing liquor store hold ups!

He's looking great for being age 77.

It's the executive producer of the TV series "Miami Vice" in the eighties. Brilliant man

Michael Mann is the master of realistic action cinema. Nobody can't even come close to him in that regard

Please give us Heat on 4K remastered!

Michael has an uncanny ability to make me feel like an idiot just by listening to him talk. It's probably the only director I wouldn't be able to ask any questions without constantly second-guessing myself and discarding them for being too dumb, even though I have dissected his movies countless times. Really intimidating.

This is one of the great examples of how you don't always need epic orchestral music in the background for an action scene. You just let it play out. The shots and the shattering glass are the music.

In 2000 I was working with a program that supported people who had recently been released from being incarcerated and one of the gentlemen I came to know recommended this film very highly -- I did not see it at the time as I was aware of (and particularly sensitive to) some of the violence it contained. I did see it a few years later by which time the gentleman who had recommended it to me had ended his life so I was never able to discuss it with him. You were right Ramon -- I hope you are at peace and I hope to see you again on the other side.

That moment where Chris starts blasting is a masterwork of camerawork, acting and sound and film editing. It still gives me chills.

Amazing how after 34 years Michael Mann is talking the details as though the film was released yesterday

I'm 45 years old and I remember exactly when I saw this best movie for the first time

Incredible film by one of our great directors. It is a stone cold classic!! Being someone who grew up just outside in he suburbs of LA, I always appreciate M. Mann using Los Angeles to capture his stories!!

When this came out I became enveloped to the point of not wanting the movie to end.

This guy directed, Collateral, The Heat, Insider, Manhunter I mean WTF man. He is making it really hard for young filmmakers like me to reach the level

My favorite films from director Michael Mann Heat (1995) Collateral (2004) and Miami Vice (2006)

Michael Mann's films seem to have the highest degree of precision, authenticity, realism, subtlety, and depth of character psychology than that of almost any other filmmaker. He seems remarkably thoroughly researched on every detail of the character psychology, environment, and culture and incorporates that knowledge into all aspects of the film so that every detail matches up to create an authentic world. As such, his films have a more realistic feel to them where climactic moments are more gradually arrived at in a more believable way. The films can seem dry, boring or long on first viewing but over time you appreciate the delicate pacing and nuance. It's more educational. Also, Mann in interviews is brilliant at articulating all the layers, philosophies, background information, research etc. on his work that when combined with the film itself give you so much more appreciation of all aspects of the art. His analysis and dissection of his films is sometimes better than the film itself or equal in value to the film because you can go back and watch the film again with his commentary and appreciate everything in finer detail. I've definitely been inspired by the philosophy and psychology of his films/characters for a long time. The films are so realistic that you feel like you're watching a real life documentary almost. The films and characters are not overly histrionic/dramatic and he doesn't seem to use cliches. The music isn't overbearing either competing with the picture for expressing what the moment is. The music tends to be smooth, soothing and pleasantly subtle. Mann has a brilliant quote from the Heat special features that I'll never forget. "Life is not an either/or set of binaries. We compress real life into fiction and make it be that way because it's convenient and mechanically symmetrical. Life's not like that." That shows in all of his work I think.

can't believe we are actually getting a sequel for this masterpiece, hope it won't be disappointing.

HEAT is Michael Mann's ultimate classic. Heat. Thief, Colletrall, Miami Vice, are awesome he is best at Crime Dramas Heat 2 to go on floors. 🤘🏻💯🎬🎥

I went to see Heat because of Michael Mann because . . . Miami Vice. It's everything I expected.

This interview isn’t long enough. “Craving more”

Heat is my most favorite movie. What’s not in this movie, romance, story, dialogue, suspense, and action.

Mann, what a genius

Amazing interview - great questions and man, you've got to admire Mann, he's so proud of that movie, as we all are.

This is a great interview. Just what I needed to know about Neil McCauley and Vincent Hanna. It's like I knew there was something interesting about these two characters opposition, but to have it explained by Michael Mann himself is very enlightening.

Thank You Very Much for that video! One of my favorite movies! Watched more then 100 times! Biggest hello from Moscow, Russia!)

My favorite movie

Thank you for this! xx

Fantastic. Mann is an all time great director and Heat is an time great movie.

HEAT...classic forever!

LEGEND.

His 3 Cops & Robbers movie run with Heat/Collateral/Miami Vice is something to behold & realize we don't get that greatly entertained anymore

I rooted for DeNiro

Waiting for this sequel book more so then Final Fantasy 7 & Resident Evil 3 remakes combined!!!

The research on this film is so indepth its only Mann that could pullit off. This movie is so original, its not just a classic but for anyone looking to do even reproduce an inkling of a resemblance to "attn to detail" film close to the depth and look into the world of a real thief. This is where you start and finish. in reality the shooting is that loud and very messy, you have to be highly trained to the guilles when facing a loaded weapon cause it really doesn't matter what side your on in law enforcement when you facing a loaded gun what's difference...🧐

Heat probably the best movie ever made ... cant decide between John Frankenheimer ronin and michael mann heat ... 👍its not possible to make such movie like heat again ....everything is perfect

That was fun.

One of a kind movie 🎥

Michael Mann is the ultimate master of #1 LANDSCAPES and #2 Immersing you into the location in which the movie is being filmed in whether it be MIAMI, LA or WOODED AREAS in The last of the Mohegans! Theirs nobody even close!

This crew is good

MICHAEL THE MANN!!!

Heat 2 !

Absolute legend

Best Director of all time

Heat seems to only get better with age. Absolute Masterpiece

This is awesome. WW III!

I liked this video format

DAMN good questions

The man is a compass for my own ccreativity and passions. #legend

Michael Mann. David Fincher. Paul Thomas-Anderson. The top directors alive today. Love Manns signature style.

whats up !? are there no more "on locations" this episodes are truly amazing and interesting!!

Gorgeous! Best cop drama movie ever made.

Val Kilmer and Tom Sizemore are amazing badass actors too

HEAT x COLLATERAL crossover would be EPIC!

Great movie

MM: The idea is to turn it into a movie. Me: *jumps from couch* *paces back and forth*

This movie deserves Anniversary screenings on the Big Screen every year. Even better, All Michael Mann's films need to have a Anniversary screening. HEAT fans definitely need to watch CRIME STORY(1986) TV series Executive Produced by Michael Mann 👌 #MichaelMann

I love how Michael always calls Robert Bob.

I can always watch Heat

Heat is the best film of all time

Why didn't he let Mann explain the shootout scene downtown LA, the guy brought the plans and everything and was eager to explain how they did it but the interviewer goes: "Well let's go inside and talk.." COME ON MAN.

🎬🎥

Most underrated movie director in Hollywood history. He doesn't make all those pretentious nonsensical artsy films. He makes movies that everyone can enjoy starting from the so call "film critics" to the general.

I wish back in the late 1990s Michael Mann would have made a great action thriller movie with Gene Hackman in it

One of the most accurate criminal shootout scenes in cinema history.

Michael Mann is nearly 80! He seems about 20 years younger.

Do not forget Johnie's Broiler in Downey (Waingro)!

Mann said Kate Mantilini's was the only scene with Pacino and DeNiro together. Is he telling us the airport scene was done with stunt doubles for both? Basically, the final shot has a stunt double for Pacino.

Where is the spot where denero meets with the computer/satellite dish guy ..the place that has a view down onto the mega freeway ?

Ronin is also another good shoot out movie! Love Heat!!!!

Heat was straight art! Micheal Mann is piacoso how he painted heat

I was there on Venice balavvvvvvvvard watching the bank truck heist under the fwy. Run an alias on slick your gonna get the phonebook

Well done! I wonder what Mann's most challenging location shoot was. Also, how did you get this gig, Josh? Are you with the studio?

How can a serious network screw up the audio like this? Commentators voice is like 80% panned to the right!!

I like movies.

where is the sequel ... and whre is mr mann gone ?

I hear they are making a prequel

@5:29...I only understand "William Shatner...." Lol.

hi

Brutal honesty: I don’t know who this bozo is but surely with most down to earth yet the toughest man in Hollywood. Pick the one you think falls in the description.

RIP Tom

Hollywood heist imitate the movie " HEAT 1997 " !

Paramount thought they booked the host of bbc .😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I had to deliver an aircraft part from Phoenix to LA a couple years ago. When I arrived I ended up having most of the day to kill because the recipient was delayed. I suddenly had the thought to look up some of the Heat filming locations and check them out-The Burbank diner, the opening scene under the I-10/110 junction on Venice Blvd, etc. It was right after Covid hit, so traffic was super light…eerily so actually. Great video, just wish the idiot host would quit interrupting Mann

would be best to do it cgi deep fake to capture the actual actors youth.

Props to the interview but man your sound is off.

hole,said

Someone send this to Bill Simmons and Chris Ryan

13 holes in Columbia no repeats,Gothic Bible.

You need a de-esser. The audio stinks

what is he saying at 14:47 to me it sounds like a "half fish"....

tim ball proved him wrong

Why would anyone heat Michael maan

Fuk wit mann

haha MM is the LA king just like andrew davis is chicago king

When you interview someone it’s unnecessary to keep interjecting “yeah” and filling in holes if your subject is still talking. In fact, it’s more effective if your voice and face are entirely out of view. The fanboy-ness is palpable The opening sequence of the Dark Knight is highly informed by Heat
