This is the best interview I've ever heard about screenwriting. The density of crucial and inspiring thoughts surpasses lavishly produced masterclasses. Thank you for this gift.

Those born geniuses destined for greatness…Maynard Ferguson and Oscar Peterson. He was right on that one! Great story!!!

8:53 “…all good plots are an inevitability of character. Plot events happen the way they do because of who people are. They just can’t help doing what they do.” Inevitability. It’s my prison, our prisons. I guess that’s why we get so invested in the possibility of change unfolding on the screen - we crave inspiration to widen the bars and walk through.

This is insane. One of the most inspirational and educational video clip I have watched in recent!!

My favorite film. Most shocking scene in cinema history-that's what i've said when somebody asking me about "Fearless". This film make me feel life.

Ultimately improvising _is_ repetition. But it comes from hours of practice, listening, and performing. It's having a musical conversation. Forgetting about the words and letting the sound come out.

Absolutely loved this most creative and aesthetically pleasing #ditl ❤🎉 So many stand out angles and moments in there!!!

I just last week had a same thought. I'm a painter. In the past I would get an idea for a painting before starting, maybe walking around with the idea in my head for months first, working it out. But lately I've been painting with nothing in my head to start. I thought about how it isn't easy to create something from nothing. I guess it really isn't from nothing, I have skills, went to school, studied classical figure drawing, design, color theory and such.

We need more and more videos like this 🙌 ❤

Loved this film. There is not one unnecessary shot in it, the story and dialogue got me deeply involved and the way it was told was amazing.

”if you haven’t heard it, I envy you”. Spot on

Amazing content. Why people are not watching this?. Liked, subscribed and shared.

this is amazing

Great video

Great work. This essay is very eye opening

This movie shook me to my core and it absolutely set the bar on a new level of what the cinematic experience could be. It was a before and after in my life. I think the car crash toolbox scene is quite literally one of the greatest scenes in all film history. I also knew a guy from Turkey who was so shook to the core by this movie, that in the 90´s he went at night and broke a glass to steal the poster, which he still has. 😂😂😂 That is the level at which this movie gets you.

This is so beautiful

What a great interview that gives so much insight into the screenwriting experience as well as amazing insider info about a great, unappreciated movie like Fearless. I've always tried to find more behind the scenes material about this film but due to it falling into semi-obscurity in the years since its release (a true tragedy!), no one has really done a significant deep dive retrospective on it, or sought out the stories behind its making. So I feel like this interview was made for someone just like me: a film buff who loves the film itself, who wanted more info on how it came to be (especially from the writing side) and its stages of production, and finds the whole development process totally fascinating, e specially on thoughtful, mature films like this that are in short supply and have sadly become the rarest of beasts. Thank you for doing this and sharing, I loved the hell out of every minute! I have also subbed 🙏

One of my favorites movies of all time! It deserves a special edition in 4K.

Excellent. FWIW, I saw this movie as an audience preview in Vancouver in December 1993,about a week before it released. A week later I had to fly back to New Jersey, and I wasn't out of the headspace this movie put me in. Watching this video put me under the same spell.

Excelentes analisis, ojala puedas seguir con esto.

Excelente video, me encantó y está excelentemente acompañado por las imagenes.

Wonderful video! I listened to Keith Jarrett while I was in college! But I never heard him speak about Victor Borge until now. I also have not followed what he has done since his stroke. I will read more about him now, thanks to your inspiration. What an incredible musician! I will share this on social media. I know a number of musicians. I'm sure they will enjoy it... along with people interested in doing the impossible in general. Thanks again!

I just discovered your channel this morning... watched your video about Keith Jarrett before this one. Wow! Great stuff! And the story of your relationship with your grandfather is similar to my relationship with my father. He was always number one in the household... a malignant narcissist who kept me down by never showing any interest in what was important to me. He wanted me to get a job and have no dreams. I finally broke free of his domination 30 plus years ago, when my marriage ended, I burned out working for the government, and my mother died within the span of about one year. Cast adrift but with the support of my older sister, I found my way back to a dream I had as a child (advocating for more peaceful relations between people) and have been much happier ever since. My father was my hero only in how he introduced the family to music (classical and jazz), because he was a classically trained pianist. So, I love music to this day thanks to him. But the dark side of his personality did a real number on me for many years. I look forward to seeing what other videos you've made. Thanks again for this one and the one about Keith Jarrett (and other innovators). I'm old enough that I listened to Keith Jarrett when I was in college. Bill Evans too. But also progressive rock (Yes, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Jethro Tull, Renaissance) and classics and motion picture soundtracks. I think God for having music in my life. It helped keep me sane.

I enjoyed the film. No big “ah ha” moments for me, but not every film needs to be be that way for me. I still enjoyed the watch…thank you

Helps of your one of the best in the world though

It’s very sad when people suffer because of narcissistic parents, you suffered almost you whole life, I am glad that you could be happy despise of all this

Keith’s solo concert in Vermont in the mid 70’s was what got my attention. Amazing artist.

I think in a style and jarret is an unique style ,i can recognize his style when start to play piano without lookin to mr jartet..

Though my eyes I track the prize. If it moves it might be food.

Thank you. I can absolutely relate. Your words could well be my own.

the best jarrett recording is "fratres" by arvo part, the violin and piano arrangement. (keith jarrett, gidon kremer) :p

this is so beautiful!

This was great, it deserves 100x more views!

Great video!! A question, how do make the sheet music transparent? Photoshop? Or in the notation program?

This video is amazing

Beautiful video

I just wish I could hug you. Thanks

Dude I just binged all ur recent videos. They’re fantastic! I hope you keep it up cause this channel deserves to blow up

I listen to a lot of music, world over and all eras, never have heard what Keith Jarrett lovers love in his music. Bores me. Too histrionic, too fanciful his deportment, but nothing much comes out of his piano.

Keith started with Charles Lloyd. Just listen to Live at Monterey Jazz festival 1966 and you will see his future was bright. Maybe one of the greatest under appreciated pianists in jazz history.

Yet as much as respect Keith Jarett virtuosity I don't think he is a very inspired musician, I don't feel the spark of musical intelligence when I listen to his music as I feel when I listen Bill Evans.

If you're into Jarrett, check out Brad Mehldau!

Bravo

My friend Robert John Godfrey (a musician) sent this out to his Facebook friends last week: "I have had the life I deserved and the one which suited me best. What more can someone ask for than to emerge from the dark days of youth only to inhabit the creaking body of a sweet and gentle old man? If there is no God, there ought to be!" It seems pertinent to your video somehow. I am my own worst enemy and harshest critic.

Brotha you just moved me in such profound way. Bless you! I’m raising my freak flag higher and turning my Amp and bending each notes on my six string in the same direction. One Love!

I don’t post comments often but this is really powerful.

Beautiful beautiful video! Cant really put into words how I feel after watching it but amazing work.

I'm not sure what I just experienced. I'm feeling emotions that I'm not equipped to deal with but I hear a voice somewhere telling me this is important, you need to listen and learn. I'm going to need some time to work this out. Thank you, I think. Or maybe, f@#k you. Too much to think about!

In piano improvisation the hands, wrists, arms etc know where to go in the same way that vocal chords know how to vibrate in synch with the larynx, tongue, jaw, lips etc. We don’t usually write an essay in our head before we speak to someone, we just speak. Same with piano improvisation. Spending years, decades, learning the language of music and how it functions enables one to just ‘speak’ it. It feels completely natural, exactly like speaking one’s native tongue, except it’s music. I started improvising twenty years ago and it’s got to the point that I can create a healing musical language spontaneously which I use volunteering at a hospital in their “Healing through Music” program.
