+Chris Vialls the problem with Richard Ayoade is you have to know who that is. I watched that interview, i didn't quite grasp the argument cause I don't know who he is and what is he promoting
+Xelanderthomas He's a very successful and respected English journalist. That's how. He's paid to get the answers the public are after, and his method, as with many journalists, is to push the interviewees to the limit.
*holy shit, he made an extremely good point and there is no way i can make a rebuttal to an argument that well made.* "hey, so you have a stutter or something..."
Isn't Krishnan Guru-Murthy concerned that if impressionable minds see him beating a dead horse, that they might become inspired to enact similar violence on deceased animals?
but don't you think it's these asshole questions that led to these awesome answers? lol he COULD be nicer but yeh i think he's intentionally pushing buttons to get there
@Kent Kuntster yes I've watched those right before this haha. Has it ever occured to you guys that his network might also be pushing that he only asks a certain type of questions and he's just adhering and trying to accomplish that politically charged goal of theirs. He admits in the tarantino interview that he's a fan but yeah he HAS to ask those questions, even get an answer lol
@@teevee1234 : Ahh, those sort of questions are more "befitting" to tabloids, not (supposed to be) professional interviews with the top-tier stars themselves, no less. If the interviewer's boss(es) like make him ask those kinds of questions than he/she/they is/are (a) bigger idiot(s) than the interviewer. S***, let the tabloids try to get that caliber of stars to come down to them to grant them an in-person interview, eh. But the professional interviews (including with those of big name) should stay professional.
Out of him, Tarantino, RDJ and Ayoade, I find this interview the most interesting. Samuel L. Jackson knew he was being asked ridiculous questions, but at no point did he lose his temper or become hostile. Not that his way of dealing with this is better or worse, it's just interesting. He shut KGM down without actually shutting him down.
There is absolutely nothing intelligent or brilliant this interviewer does. He may think he's different or special. He's not special. Asking personal and political questions that don't pertain to the interviewee's projects isn't brilliant. It's like what youtube young pranksters do. No different. He's asking questions about violence in movies. He shouldn't be asking Quentin and Jackson. He should be asking John Wayne, Clint Eastwood and their predecessors. Violence in movies were there 120 years ago when there were movies. It's an old and outdated topic. Old rehash shit.
And Samuel Jackson even mentions the presence of violence in books. So this sort of thing has been around even longer yet people like this journalist continue pushing the narrative that it's some sort of contemporary issue.
And don't forget that Viking kids, Anglo-Saxon kids, Roman kids . . . all those kids grew up learning about how their leaders and their armies slaughtered all the other armies that came against them. Violence is a co-traveler of the human experience. And yeah, it's horrible and nasty and brutal and all sorts; no one should want violence when there's a healthy alternative. But . . . if the goal is to end violence, you'll have to end humans to end human violence.
this is why Samuel L. Jackson is legend. He handled this guy crap by giving him the answers that definitively and clearly explains the questions that were given. Therefore, the scumbag interviewer questions got limited very quickly.
Wow, finally! Someone that says *it's the parent's responsibility* that their child grows up with good moral values, I can't agree more with SLJ; he's making much more sense than many "professionals" I've heard...
It's extra cool that he mentioned teaching kids gun safety instead of vilifying guns. I have a theory that much of the gun violence comes from kids that were taught that guns are for killing. They were never taught to respect the fire-arm. Most of them don't even know trigger discipline. They think, "I have all these negative thoughts, and my dad hid the gun under the bed, so I'm going to relieve my negative thoughts with the forbidden fruit, the gun". Parent your kids. Teach them responsibility and respect of life. “Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement.” -J.R.R. Tolkien
@@MasterXploder88 Most of them are fighting over drugs the government keeps pouring into this country. Yeah, the same government you want to trust with the destruction of the 2nd Amendment. Careful what you wish for.
Damn, he shut him down. You can tell this man is educated. And something in particular he said stuck out to me is true, if a link is found, it's because they were paid to find a link much in a way that doctors were paid during the 60s to destroy any links between smoking cigarettes and lung cancer. They used stupid logic like "well this man never smoked a day in his life and he got lung cancer therefore smoking does not cause lung cancer." It was later discovered this man lived around smokers for most of his life and died of second hand smoking.
Robert Downey Jr., Tarantino and Jackson. I am starting to think that this interviewer is the wrong person for the job. It is not his fault his bad, it's the boss that hired him. Asking action movie makers about violence in movies. Why did Jackson not walk out on him too and give the dude some pulp fiction?
+Ricardo Murillo i actually love these interviews because he is a shitty interviewer. shows the real personalities of these guys. how you react to provocation says so much about you
Edgár Tóth Even so, your reaction is not the same when you know there's a camera pointed at you. I always remember a story Craig Ferguson told somewhere. He said to someone in the staff "I don't know what kind of people complain about some of these celebrities, most of them are pretty nice" and whoever he was talking to replied "ye, to you, you're the host" I'm no trying to take anything away from samuel l. jackson, I agree 100€ with what he said but you can't base your opinion on how someone acts when they know there's a camera filming.
***** come on, don't be a hypocrite. most people love to watch conflicts, especially if famous people are part of it. he is a shitty interviewer but these kind interviews are boring most of the time and this was not at all boring
+Ricardo Murillo He's not a bad interviewer. He's just doing his job. First of all he's a news interviewer, not a light entertainment interviewer. Also regulation prevents this News Channel from doing purely promotional interviews, there has to be an element above and beyond that. The people that agree to get interviewed are informed of that before they agree to do the interview. The other thing is that, over here we tend not to put celebrities on a pedestal of reverence in the same fashion as America. The only things that get that level of irrational devotion from adults here, are football teams. F**k anyone that bad mouthes my team. Finally, I really like how SLJ handled the question, and actually answered it so eloquently. It shows that he's far more intelligent than Downey Jr, and Tarantino. He didn't just walk out, because he doesn't think of himself of a "paris hilton" in a man's body class diva like the other two. He's got more respect for himself than that. And he's definitely got my respect for that too.
Wow Samuel Jackskon is so well spoken, usually actors freeze up for go crazy like Quentin Tarantino did to the same interviewer. But he new his facts and delivered them cooly. Sammy deffinetly could have been a good debator/lawyer with that kind of cool collective thinking and reasoning.
Man, I love Sam. He's a true class act. Who cares if he curses; he's himself. And what he said about him wanting to personally be looked at as a role model instead of his characters is 1000% true. Also, you'd expect Sam to be the one to actually get angry in an interview like this. Wrong. He was an exemplary gentleman. Commendable.
Class act. A level of maturity and humility that comes with age. That’s how a wiseman should be. Never fluttered but the look of sorrow for the interviewer spoke more than any of Jackson’s movie ever did.
3:05 absolutely nailed it. Krishnan is clearly told by the BBC to ask the most inane questions to create frustration in the interviewee. Itgets views which means money. Still, he is an absolute bellend.
Samuel L Jackson just eloquently handled this interview by his universal respect for others. He is a smooth talking genuine person and taught us a valuable lesson here: We are all responsible for ourselves and shouldn't rely on anyone else too much for protection and guidance.
Calm, collected and eloquent!! Sam's professionalism and all around keen intellect shine through in this interview. He wasn't afraid to tackle the more intensive line of questions because he has the will to thoughtfully engage...nicely done!
His explanation on what makes a role model puts him easily in the top of the most sensible and respectable people on the planet. Love that he shares my view of famous people as well. I never understood the hype and love for random strangers because they are famous. I don't know you, if you are a proper person and act accordingly I will treat you with the respect you deserve. But never because you were in a movie, reality TV or because your song is on the radio.
Well said, Mr. Jackson. You ARE a role model. I agreed with every word you said. Thank you for being so refreshingly level headed. You, good sir, have made my day.
"i've got served, dragged and educated on my stupid questions, so i'd better change the subject to stuttering..." lmao, really? this guy always wants to get political, ethical and moral ("your character in Pulp Fiction is violent and has a gun, do you think he would put a gun at a kitten's face?) and all of a sudden after he gets educated is like "your stutter, what's that like?" he could have also asked him what's your view on rainbows?", "so i see you have 2 hands, how does that work for you?"
I’m glad the interviewer took this derivative line of questioning because without it we would never have been treated to Jackson’s incredibly sensical comments about violence. I’ve often taken Jackson as a kind of curmudgeon who could care less about anything but this interview shows how wise, astute, and respectful of others he is.
Now this man is an amazing interviewee, going to waste with a horrible interviewer. SLJ's points about education are the most educated I've heard in years. Also, the way he just kindly answered Guru-Murthy's questions about his stutter, with no resentment or anything... Man, that's respect. That's education, that's class. Major respect for this man. Also, really interesting that he said he tends to stutter a lot when saying the word "What", considering his most famous scene ever heavily involves repeatedly saying the word "What".
Jackson makes very good points time and again and each time Guru-Murthy jumps to another subject completely, creating a very strange moment. Or probably it's just HEAVILY EDITED. In who's favor I don't know.
While the Tarantino interview sort of made Tarantino look bad because some of his statements were a bit arrogant and contradictory, this interview shows just how intelligent and mature SLJ is. He gives concise, honest, and well thought-out answers to all the questions, despite clearly being annoyed with the interviewer
uncle chaos Tbh, Tarantino went through a lot regarding violence in his movies ever since Columbine in 1999, i would've been very pissed off too with that kind of question.
It's not the government's responsibility to make you a good person. it's your parents job. brilliant Samuel Jackson ! Notice how when SLJ makes a good point and proves the interviewer wrong , the topic goes to "okayyy so you had a stutter once "?
one word.... BOOM... this interview should be the ending to robert downey jr and quentin tarantino's interviews as samuel cant lose his cool to some "shmuck"... plus such topics are harsh to comment on... especially knowing the whole world is about to go crazy at you if you answer it with slightly differed opinions from last time you answered it... be careful of the power of word
This was the best handling of this guy I've ever seen. I didn't think Quentin Tarantino did a very good job just not answering the question and yelling back at him. I like it when people answer the questions they're given and then prove their point really well through their answer. Props to Sam for this awesome handling of it. However, RDJ walking out on him was pretty great too I do have to concede
Parents have the responsibility to teach their children and guide them. This is what S. Jackson is telling all the time. Education and guidance. Even unbalanced people can be guided well. Kudos to S. Jackson. Krishnan, remember the word RESPECT here.
The stuttering question at the end was absolutely unequivocally meant to get some sort of reaction out of Samuel. Cos of all the questions you can ask the legend that is Samuel L Jackson you want to ask about his “stutter” and Ive find that with This particular interviewer, it’s always towards the end where he tries to poke the bear and get personal, for instance with Robert Downey Jr it was about his drug addiction and his relationship with his father, with Quentin Tarantino he was essentially saying do you like watching real life violence.
samuel l jackson is insanely intelligent, i feel like everything he says could be put into a movie. he really is an educated and mature guy. extremely talented actor too. he handled this very well.
I agree with Samuel L Jackson. My mom raised 3 boys who played violent video games, watched violent movies and we're in martial arts. she raised us to be respectful and to only use violence to defend ourselves or others
Despite all the hate (and this goes for his RDJ interview as well), I actually think that the interviewer does an excellent job in asking thought-provoking questions that had potential to give interesting commentary. The questions may not be directly involved with films that these people are related to, but as he has said several times, he is not in the business of promoting these films - that is the job of the actors and directors.
I think it might be a discrepancy of an Americanism compared to abroad. An interview in its truest sense is not a promotion. The US has been conditioned that any interaction on TV is a promotion, so its seen differently. UK also has laws against blatant promotion on TV as well, which also restricts this Interviewer. An interview in its older sense did not need to make its interviewee look good. Its changed since then. A good Interview probs hard questions, and illustrates the viewpoint of the interviewee. Samuel Jackson did well here. That said, the interviewer here could benefit from some display of sympathy, or respect. A person can ask hard questions without interrogating the person. The cultural difference plays a part as well. Some Americans would think normal UK banter is rude. But then the Interviewer should have recognized he needed to act different for a foreigner. I don't think the Interviewer was malicious, or particularly narcistic, but certainly not the best, lacking tact and understanding.
I really dislike him. I don't like how he bypasses they're question without care. he asked the question they answer then he just forgets about that whole topic and jumps to another. And he keeps on asking stupid shit. personal question no body wants to be asked. I find he asks questions and questions to make the celebrity sound wrong and slowly creeps to the personal shit. he's not professional at all he's terrible.
Krishnan Guru-Murthy is an excellent journalist and 1st class interviewer .The questions he puts to these so called 'stars' are entirely valid in my opinion .
SAY WWWWWHAT ONE MORE TIME! < This comment is made with the utmost respect. I just love that he didn't change the wording and still went through his lines. Or we would have missed that great proformance.
I really like Samuel's style here with his circular glasses and the jacket and scarf. All he needs is an old fashioned tobacco pipe and it'd be complete lol.
I respect the interviewers point but I respect Samuel Jackson's perspective. Good interview respect to Samuel Jackson with such an intelligent response.
Samuel L. Jackson is definitely right in this interview!! He is showing good qualities and leaderships not just with actors, but also with people in general. You know, it’s very sad that many actors/actresses show up on set and don’t treat the actors or crew people with respect such as Tom Cruise, Bruce Willis, Sean Penn, Seth Rogen, or even Alec Baldwin. It really breaks my heart because I do theater acting (non-professionally) and I treat everyone regardless of their political affiliation, or race with very high respect and I think that Samuel L Jackson is really being a good advocate for everyone and that’s how it needs to be, especially in the movie or stage acting industry!!
