Stuart Cornfeld tells a completely different tale. It’s just rubbish what these dudes say . Deflect here so they get more work and money. Lynch should consider himself the luckiest man alive to get that gig.. Terrible director. Sounds like a terrible man if his Father is having to buy him a shithole to fix up having already failed his first marriage. 😂
I saw this movie as a kid in the theater when I was 9 - it rocked my world and made me a fan of Lynch and his cinimatic arts from that point forward. Probably the first time a movie made me cry and feel genuine empathy for a character.
This is very good i remember seeing Eraserhead when it came out, saw it a few times, i loved the industrial nightmare feeling that flowed from it, and then seeing The Elephant Man was just like an extension/almost segue into the Victorian Industrial atmosphere of the time and it was lovely to hear from Mr Lynch about Mel Brooks(what a great guy) and how he championed it.
i see a similarity between him and Roger Corman in the both have patient well-thought out speech patterns and split second directorial creativity; the seem mellow but stand back when they go to work!
Any other year and The Elephant Man would have walked away with 8 Oscars... but Robert Redford and his Ordinary People with a double whammy of DeNiro and Raging Bull shut them out. But tell me this -- When was the last time you watched Ordinary People or Raging Bull? Probably only when they came out. Now -- When was the last time you watched The Elephant Man? I've seen it dozens of times and have it on several different formats. Thank goodness for the Criterion 4K version... get it, it's perfect. So yeah...
Still remember watching this film for the first time years ago … still sticks with me today… a work of art of a movie … one of the most emotional films I’ve ever seen.
Mel Brooks should get SOOOO much credit for taking a chance on Lynch who did an amazing job on this movie, not to mention for the fact that he agreed to finance this movie in the beginning. He has always been known for slapstick comedy satires and then went totally in a different direction with this serious drama not giving a crap if his audience ditched him for it.
Brooks didn't have his name in the film's credits or any promotional material because he didn't want people to think it would be a comedy. He just wanted to see the film made. That's probably why people tend to forget or not even realise that he was involved
When you actually listen to what Lynch is saying he is actually taking the piss out of everyone listening
I Hear The Elephant Man is So Powerful For a Drama Movie and I’m Sure I Would Get Choked Up at Times During The Movie Someday!
**spends hours writing script** Later: Maybe I need to direct someone else’s script. That’s humility.
How this did not win any oscars is a travesty
This Movie Should had Won At Least One or 2 or 3 Oscars!

This is the most beautiful movie anyone can ever see about dignity and humanity
I Hear The Elephant Man is So Moving For a Drama Movie!
Shoutout to Mel Brooks for recognizing Lynch’s genius
boost
As powerful a film as it is, it is just way too intense & disturbing for me to ever sit & watch a 2nd time. "David Lynch".....that hair!!!

I Hear The Elephant Man is So Touching For a Drama Movie Also I Hear John Hurt is So Good in The Movie!
Um dos filmes mais lindos e tristes que eu já vi mas nessa sociedade idiota preferem Star Wars
"so called 'real life'." I love this man.
Wonder if Carl Pinkerton has seen this
"In Paris... in France." Not to be confused with Paris, Texas.
This interview seems like it lasts for 3 hrs for some reason
There’s nobody quite like David Lynch. He is such a great director and writer. Huge fan.
The Elephant Man is a masterpiece.
I Hear The Movie is Fantastic and One of My Must See Movies!
Mel Brooks is such a great man.

🙏 Thank you for creating this amazing video about two of my favorite Filmmakers: Mel Brooks & David Lynch 🙏
I love how he's telling the story at 4:15 almost like he still can't believe it himself.
Tööörrööö
Amazing how many studios pass up on brilliant ideas.
i see a similarity between him and Roger Corman in the both have patient well-thought out speech patterns and split second directorial creativity; the seem mellow but stand back when they go to work!
It should have gotten a posthumous Oscar. At least.
this film makes me cry every time i see it! My second favourite movie from David , Mulholland Drive the one.
I Hear The Elephant Man is So Teary Eyed For a Movie!

A very interesting interview by David Lynch
Ideas are fragile, be careful with them, Lynch seems so much more real that I imagined he would be.
This guy is so unpretentious! I would love to work for him. It's also wonderful that he embraces digital technology.
Rony rocket for 2023!
VERY special movie!!! Looove this film!!!
I can't get through this film. I've tried. Ive seen it all but its taken years. Such an important film
Mel Brooks is a very intelligent person. I'm glad about the results of his decision.
Still remember watching this film for the first time years ago … still sticks with me today… a work of art of a movie … one of the most emotional films I’ve ever seen.
I am not an animal ;)
In my top 10 movies of all time, and I am 50 and I've loved movies all my life. What an amazing interview. Love hearing the creative process laid out.
Mr. David Lynch, thank you for existing:)
Bless you, Mel Brooks.
He is a genius.
15:13 mesmerizing hand motion
Hopkins was the real star for me.
Once in a while I just need to hear Lynch talk for a minute.
Mel Brooks wanted to make it a comedy musical. It was gunna feature a cast of 300 Jews and one woman gentile Ho is extremely busty.
I loved the scene tests he did with Steve Martin and the first make up for the movie
He not only seems normal, but nice.
A true artist among Sharks and Con Men.

Bang on. He did the same with The Fly remake which is another wonderful film.
@@MrCollyT It’s not in his Wikipedia, it should be.
100% YES!!!
@@johnmc3862 It is now. Are you an editor? ;-)
David Lynch never disappoints. Good lord Azathoth- I love this fellow.
David Lynch fixing a house?
