Natalie Portman Breaks Down Her Career, from “Star Wars” to “Vox Lux" | Vanity Fair 

She does, she just want to ignore it. She thinks SW almost ruined her career.

I think she feels like people only see her for her role there,even though she has done so much more

@@garomaru95 I kind of really hate tht she also skipped the movie where she had a baby in walmart, I loved that one!

@@thomasdelfino5064 not really. i never watch Star Wars so I never think of her as whatever character she is in that franchise. I'm sure it's the same for others like me

@@ninoadan8977 it's the same for all 2 of you, yeah.

bruh

😂

Anakin, Padme has turned to the dark side

Padme I think it’s time to turn to my side 😈🍆🍑 Darragh i see u

Hello, Anakin it me your Master!

Thought I killed you Palpatine

First time I watched TPM, I remarked to my friend that Natalie Portman was cute in it. He said she was 13 at the time. Cue awkwardness.

Christopher Foote she has a degree in psychology

Christopher Foote she’s like 140 iq

She possesses an IQ of 140 but she can come across a self righteous know-it-all, but she still is a highly unique and fairly multifaceted, talented individual

@@christopherfoote4643 of course, no one suggested anything like that,and it shouldn't be a contest to see who's got the bigger brain or anything

@@christopherfoote4643 guess you're right, depends entirely on the perspective though

Dew it

It’s treason then

Sheev Palps only Sith deal in absolutes

@@bigbeef7569 Yes, I am the Sith

They also skipped the Thor’s Thor: *sad thunder boi noises*

Well, the more you know ^^ thanks for the info

Only read the comic...

No

Leon : the professional is more underrated, one of the best action movies of all time .

@@marwan3962 I love Leon but I wouldn’t say it’s underrated. After all it’s rated an 8.5/10 on IMDB but it needs to be talked about more because it’s awesome

Yes it is! And also, shaving your head does feel very nice and refreshing, I'm glad she didn't get bothered by it

She Was Fine Asf Now She’s Washed

Lil Krill oh shut up. 😒 People age, shes as beautiful as ever.

Ana Padilla no she not she was way beautiful back then I did not even recognize her at first

GamerAce Plays nope. She’s still beautiful.

Declan McManus same

Ugglev There are some good reasons for that. Behind the scenes drama

They skipped more than a few of her films. Why is ROTS so important? I also just realised the irony of that abbreviation, even though that maybe my favorite of the prequels.

Chill, they didn’t have the high ground

@@martinjrgensen8234 What happenned ?

This is outrageous

You're trying to make this look like a bad thing.

She's so gracious 😍

@@mysoncrumphaseveryinjury3853 But it is so artificial, she didn't tell us any fun stories or bad experiences, cmon with her career? Unending praise is not what she was called for.

She is just being professional. Vanity Fair is not the Huffington Post or Buzzfeed. She can't just act a clown and start cracking jokes.

The Humble Geometric Figure of Doom She was called to break down her career, and if she feels that calls for praise, then that's that.

tr0nd15c yes! Love Aronofsky. Saw requiem like 6 times in the theatre

Wow I never knew that Kubrick directed Black Swan

10/10

Ian van der Veer he didn’t

@@peterhall7230 Yeah I searched it up, stupid of me thinking that Stanley directed it XD, he was already dead for 11 years.

Lucy Rich they probably filmed all of them but only edited in the ones they wanted to sow most

She might of not liked the film experience?

What is your definition of "great." Most of what she's been in has been terrible.

@@MetFansince I get you're trying to spread your opinion but you don't have to be so rude.

Yes! Where the Heart Is is the best!

no she looks old and saggy now

@@mmichalnowak Everybody ages and you will also.

Teatime Rae no i won’t

​@@mmichalnowak Bah... There is more to life than looks. Girls shouldn't have to feel bad about aging.

Teatime Rae yea they should

She was consistently epic in all 3 movies, and in different ways

me too, loved her in those movies!!

Wow okay. I guess she did the best that she could do.

Matilda

Why? Winona has like two famous roles, (those being in beetlejuice and girl interrupted) then she dropped off for years until stranger things.

Josh i have to laugh. you should maybe go and check her imdb out bc obviously you don’t know anything. two? lmfao she won a golden globe for the age of innocence. and has been in tons of popular films through the years. has been nominated for her role in a tv show in 2015. a sag nomination for film called when love is not enough. and there’s heathers, little women, mermaids. dracula, edward scissorhands. the crucible. the dilemma, mr deeds (corny and not everybody’s cup of tea but still good.) you should watch the iceman it’s very underrated but very good. she didn’t drop off the earth people just slept on her.

heavenly star alright, alright. I jumped the shark. She’s definitely great in heathers, the crucible and of course Edward scissorhands (which I feel is her most iconic role) no hate to Winona though, I like her a lot. but Natalie really deserved this breakdown as her roles have almost always been iconic ever since she first broke into acting.

Josh and i totally agree, i love natalie. and i love this video. i was just suggesting my other fav actress bc i’d love to see it as well.

She “dropped off the grid” because she was exposed as a kleptomaniac. Took over a decade for her to rehabilitate her image. Love her & her movies, but let’s be real here. She was “slept on” for a reason, and she accepted the consequences of her actions.

Especially for being a Micke Nichols film.

@@bobunitone I know? It's a great film, and it felt like they edited somethings out.

@@FreakieFan These videos aren't really for the cinefile unfortunately. But she's talked about Closer and Mike Nichols impact on her in a THR round table.

I’m sure it was edited

Agreed. Completely stuck out. Bad editing.

Meee😂

Same

Judge me by my size do you?

Init!!🤣

Master Yoda Mhmmm, ketamine I love.

Really? I always thought it was medap portcity

@1934 Family Overused? Look at all the special effects in Revenge of the Sith, they were a beatiful sight to look at.

@1934 Family Also not to mention Episode 4-6, it was ahead of their time and George just nailed it with all the other directors and producers as well as all the other people who helped on it. 1980 by the way. They put all their CGI to good use.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-23PL-oQIIeA.html : D

I would bet she talked about all of the films shown in the timeline. It was the editors who to chose to focus on these specific films.

I love your name and profile photo. Opinion on new season of DW?

@@mercerthomas3808 I love, love, LOVE IT! Series 10 was really good, (one of my favourite episodes of all time is World Enough and Time) but it had some ups and downs. But this one has been consistently good all the way through. I absolutely adore Jodie Whittaker, she's perfect as the 13th Doctor. Graham and Ryan are precious and I've already started shipping Thasmin. I'm pretty sure that's going to be endgame by the series finale. What are your thoughts?

I was about to say that

Look im sure they talked about it, but they had to edit this down to make it more poignant

80%AshamedOfYou Actually, you are very wrong! 😂

@@Namastephie no

I do not think they look alike at all

Nah, it's not all the time her decoy takes that position, at the start and the end it is her but otherwise it's the decoy.

@80%AshamedOfYou You are actually 100% wrong... That was Natalie Portman, for the rest of the movie it's *Keira* until the end.

That's an oof

Her character was kind of wasted in that film kind of like the girl who played betty ross in hulk 2008

LX arts I mean yeah but like she’s also becoming Thor in the next one

@@mr.aaronworld8194 this doesn't apply to want I just said but look at the thor 3 trailer and look at the wonder woman 2 trailer.

They are some of the weakest films in the mcu

Those delicate crow’s feet that make her look more distinguished than old-you’re right!

Those heavy layers of make up sure did the tricks!

@@LevelingwithLeeroy bitter much?

Is she in her 40s?

@@lospolloshermanos5659 she's 37 years old.

Stealthy Mongoose hello!

A bit sad about that cause its my favourite Portman film other than im a huge Star Wars buff roo but yeah Closer is her highlight for me as a serious actor

I read this comment before watching the video and got so excited to hear what she would say about it... 😭😭😭

@@DamienHurts same

I was so upset! I’d rather she talked more about Closer than her SNL rap tbh.

One of the best performances I’ve ever seen honestly- well deserved oscar

@@kashoot4782 I agree! Her role of being a victim of reality and suffering in a world filled with illusions really captures the mood and the tone of the film! I could watch that film on repeat. It’s always frightening. Especially with Mila Kunis and Vincent Cassel. All three of them knocked it out of the park with these roles!

if you enjoyed black swan, you may enjoy perfect blue if you havent seen it!

@@frankieverona5353 I’ve been wanting to watch that for a while! How is it??

@@sophiaandsebastian7573 I think its great! Its very complex but not for everyone! The director Satoshi Kon passed away in 2010 unfortunately but he was very talented and perfect blue was his first movie of many. Black swan even used some of the same scenes and framing devices. Its a very amibiguous movie i highly reccomend.

The one and only Padmé... except the other Padmé

Hello There

I can't watch the Video without the room suddenly turns into mustafar lol

@HelenofTroy DeGhent That's like saying the same thing about Princess Leia, sure she may be a high value target for the bad guys but once shes released out of her initial containment she can basically fight her way out on her own.

LOL I like how you think Vanity Fair dictates how much time they have with a celebrity to make a video.

Actually, shorter videos tend to outperform longer videos on RU-vid. I don't have access to VF's analytics but I assume their videos also follow this pattern.

being in the prequels is a path to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.

All these characters were one with the Force, they are eternal 🔥

It is Ewan not Ewen

Natalie for sure aged look at her in episode 1... She is older definitely

Cough cough Samuel l Jackson cough cough

I love that movie, Natalie and Scarlett's performances were amazing.

But they did

true

Erica Eang Yeah, but Brothers is better

My favourite movie of hers.

GENERAL KENOBI!!

And where has that perfect talent gone with Thor and Thor-2? Too challenging, huh?

Кейт Арчер yeah and in the phantom mance attack of the clones and specially specially revenge of the sith

u mean star wars

i would say star wars and black swan were more important

@@frankieverona5353 it’s a joke hun

sinnedbydefault thank you!!!! I was so disappointed they didn’t make the list!

Anywhere but here! Talk about Natalie showing us her acting skills. Two strong actresses together in that film.

Thought the same. I love both!!

swevicki I think they showed the more acclaimed movies of her, or the mosto well know roles she has done. Annihilation was more of a niche movie

Was that masterpiece even out yet the time she did this interview?

@@The810kid I think so? Not sure tho but it would've been awesome if she had talked about this movie because this movie deserves recognition and to be brought up as one of her best acomplishments!:) It really is a masterpiece!

@@ItsBritneyBitch1 of course it was out, Annihilation released like in February in theaters (NA). It's just not mainstream/commercial enough

swevicki are you serious? I’m not watching the video now that I know they don’t mention the best film of 2018 that wasn’t the Favourite.

IKR!!?!

Dream dude wth, their chemistry in the movies wasn’t even good.

CRINGE MASTERS Put one "imo" in your comment, because no one else shares it, badass

Живомир Грозев bruh, literally everyone I know says the love scenes were forced and cringe

CRINGE MASTERS If "literally everyone" is a reference to your 12yr/13yr old friends without sense of romance then that explains a lot

Me too

Me three

you had a crush on your self padme?

@@ResoluteRiot who wouldn’t 😏

Omg me too.

She said she would like a sequel, is one of her best performances (wonky accent and all), someone in hollywood needs to write a sequel!! it would be great in this time and climate.

@@butterflybunnyunicorn2518 Nobody will touch the sequel idea because the creator of V for Vendetta, Alan Moore, is *extremely* vocal about his hatred for the film... and he's probably the most influential comic book writer of all time, so his opinion carries even more weight than someone like, Anne Rice, for example, who is pretty well-known and also hated what Hollywood did to one of her books.

​@@EmphaticNod Lol they all say the same until someone in Hollywood throws enough money to them. He also hated Watchmen, and now they are remaking it into a tv show.

I don't think a sequel is possible. You can't make someone else pick up V's mantle. Also that mask is too associated with that Hacker group now. @@butterflybunnyunicorn2518

I think its not a secret that she isnt a fon of these movies. I mean you could see it in her acting in these movies.

As we all should. Marvel treated her and her character like garbage, the fanboys hate on Portman and blame her for the movies being trash, why should she acknowledge them?

I liked her in those movies.

Victor Chang lol

And Star Wars Ep 2-3...no surprise

I never really saw it but you're kinda right actually

Lawrence Fernandez she's also an only child, I think that plays a part too. Only child are known to be 10x more perfectionist than the eldest child.

If you strike me down I become more powerful then you will ever be.

Not on Mandalore amirite guys

Kenooobiiiiiaaarghhh !

He is on the high ground.

Join me Maul I will make you my right hand man then you can have your revenge..

Indeed. I was so disappointed. Unlike most here, who came because of Star Wars, I came particularly because of Closer.

Editing, probably.

All that aside, Natalegend’s career is only getting better and even more varied and interesting. I still can’t believe ‘Léon: The Professional’ was her first film. Such a knockout performance! We stan a naturally gifted legend! 🙌🏽

Ikr I used to watch that as a very young kid with my mom and for a while I forgot the name of the movie so when I saw natalie I always remembered her as the girl who slept in walmart movie lol

I'm just happy she talks about them despite the hate they still receive :D Nothing but respect for my Queen Padmé Amidala.

I can't believe she was 16 when they filmed it (I wasn't thinking about the vfx). People were pretty brutal about her performance in it

@@butterflybunnyunicorn2518 there is no hate for them. they are loved. thet hate is for the sequels.

@@Liamnerfdude1 You're wrong all star wars is loved don't be a hater.

@@Lightguardian_HOH nice troll.

Unfortunately, it bombed.

Who hates her?

Yes who does?

@@Marza90 Israel

Who hates her

EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!

i saw this on Reddit , its Gary Oldmans "role of a lifetime" ...... its hilarious :D ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LX21fA9wUnE.html

the one with little matilda? yes that was her greatest performance. what a sweet, tender innocent little girl

I need her to talk about Enchanted

amy who??

they better include enchanted into her filmography

@@whatever231 of course it would be included

I need her to talk about what is going in with Enchanted 2, that movie was announced years ago...

surferdjnj right cuz Natalie Portman has all day

it's up to Natalie Portman what films she wants to talk about and for how long

they missed Heat!

Khouri Jim it’s called an agent

@@PotionsMaster007 It's called giving Weinstein a BJ.

Exactly. These videos are usually really interesting. Mark Wahlberg's is a good example.

@@jockejocke1 Oh, come on, she's no Jennifer Lawrence.

she never worked wih Harvey.. maybe thats why it took her so long to get her oscar… and she was introduced in a big film when she was just a kid…

erikrichison lol no

erikrichison I agree 100%

Ymikxxo Mine too. It’s hard to not crush on the beautiful Padme.

Where The Heart is :)

giving Natalie Portman's Oscar to Emma Stone was one of the biggest Academy mistakes of all time.

@@butterflybunnyunicorn2518 and that wasn't the only one. Amy Adams didn't even get nominated for Arrival. But Natalie should have won it by a mile

@@butterflybunnyunicorn2518 have you seen La La land?? By far her best performance, she made that movie

@@nikhilk_ Agree! Adams deserved a nomination, but the Academy seems to hate sci-fi movies...

@@whatever231 maybe Emma's best performance in your opinion (I think she was better in The Help), but it was not better than Natalie Portman or Isabelle Huppert's performances that year.

Beauty by Kira X thank u for reminding me of that movie lol

THANK YOU it wasn’t even on the timeline

Bryn DeBerard that’s just wrong

Lol. Rumor already had it then that she would do anything for money.

You could have just said actors.

you're kidding......right?

She is great but the best of all tine? Yeah no

She's a great actress,but she just seems to inflect too much of herself into her role. However,that being said,she is still a fairly versatile and quite expressive star and at least she bears trademarks by throwing in her own touches and inflections to embellish the characters according to her perception

Big booty Rashod same dude
