you all prolly dont give a shit but does any of you know of a trick to get back into an instagram account?? I somehow lost the account password. I appreciate any help you can give me!
It's about time Peter Weir is part of this round table. He is one of my favourite Australian directors. This is interesting watching and listening to all these directors talk about their movies.
I'd love to see a round table with these people. Paul Thomas Anderson Wes Anderson David Fincher Terrence Malick Alexander Payne Coen Brothers (Just to name a few)
I love Aronofsky! Almost every film I've loved. From Requiem to Black Swan to The Wrestler to The Fountain-- ugh... though I forgot about Noah. I was disappointed :(
Kshitij BirdiWhat would Nolan have contributed? How to write screenplays full of exposition with robotic flat characters? How to use practical effects that had existed since the 80's to impress younger audiences? How to hire Hans Zimmer to make your film appear epic? The list goes on and on. Tom Hooper might be an oscar-bait twat but he definitely has an eye for film (and he did make some fine points). Nolan doesn't understand more about cinema than your regular film school graduate. By the way, I'm sure they invited Fincher but he might've not been able to go. On the other hand I legit believe they didn't call Nolan, I'd give it a 50/50
Kshitij Birdi Ahhh, how easy it is to trigger Nolan fanboys. First of all, Memento is the only remarkable movie Nolan did (and maaaaybe Dark Knight), I can't say anything about it (even if it's packed with exposition). Then... the Joker is pretty bi-dimensional. He's cool as hell, I can't deny it. But, then again, Jack Torrance from Kubrick's The Shining was also a scary as hell villain but if you think about it he really has little to no development. Second, Inception's concept is simple as hell, but Nolan makes it look a lot more complicated than it really is. All the mechanisms about how dreams work could've been explained in the first act and then they could've moved on to show instead of telling. However, they insist all the time on the "you don't know when they are in the dream" but during the whole movie you can pinpoint precisely when they are in the dream and when they are awake. Have you seen Paprika? That movie executes every concept Inception attempted a thousand times better. Then there's The Dark Knight, an awesome movie, and it was great because it redefined a genre. But, then again, even if it has a great plot with a defined pacing people tend to forget it's errors. It has no subtext, the characters talk in exposition dumps, the world has no life whatsoever, it does have some plot holes and the convenient moments Nolan is known for. And, finally... when did I say I didn't like practical effects? lol, chill out kiddo. I love Mad Max, in fact, it's ironic how you mention it because Fury Road has a very simple story yet it delivers it better than any film Nolan has done (except for Memento, which I already stated was great). The point I made is that Nolan fanboys often praise him as a genius for using classical practical effects such as the rotating set and miniatures when every director can do it. Look at Fincher, he practically abuses CGI but he does it to favour storytelling. And, no, I didn't say music was the only thing that defines a film; I said Nolan uses it to make his films "appear" epic. And, nope, Michael Bay is not my favourite filmmaker. If it interests you so much my favourite filmmakers are Fincher, Haneke and Lars Von Trier. You know, directors whose works actually make you think So, again, Nolan depends on his scripts and ideas. As a director he has nothing to say that we haven't heard before. Even Tarantino, whose movies stand out because of his screenplays, has a lot more directorial vision. In the end Nolan is better than most blockbuster directors working today... but that is because his movies don't suck. I mean, have you seen Kong: Skull Island or Batman v Superman? It's like they don't even try
I wish this went on longer, such an enjoyable and interesting talk. I'd also love to hear more from Derek Cianfrance, the process behind making blue valentine seems so fascinating.
how has aronofsky only shot his own material? both the wreslter and black swan were written by someone else, and requeim for a dream was based on a novel.
The interviewer on the left seems actively engaged in keeping a conversation from breaking out. There are a couple of times when you can tell one of the directors is looking to respond to something another has said, but the interviewer leaps in and asks a question. Not the way to run things. Be confident enough to allow pauses and silences to occur.
Instead of whining about Fincher or Nolan, I'm surprised no one's commented on the interviewer's question about who identifies as a megalomaniac, clearly directed at Russell who sits there and says nothing.
David is looking down at Lisa's blouse WTF. Sorry was hard not to notice. Annette's character is soo much like Lisa. Dito. All lovely movies. My fave is Blue valentine! And again Derek and Ryan's character look alike. Great video!
About what O'Russel was saying around 14:00 it inmediately popped in my mind that scene from Brian De Palma's Scarface when the guy is killed with the chainsaw, and they had body parts hanging and blood being spread everywhere, but you actually never see what really happened , but you have the image that you own mind created which is sometimes more powerful that anything anyone can show you, nice to bring that out
***** I think it was good. Definitely disappointing, but it's beautifully shot, scored, and acted. It's also pretty ambitious. But overall it fell short and the final act was kinda bad. Maybe he'll make something amazing with his next go
I really hope The Hollywood Reporter and 'BackStage Casting' would do these one hour long roundtable discussions again for this Oscar season's directors and screenwriters. When I first watched this one when it was first uploaded nearly two years ago, I didn't notice how Tom Hooper was virtually ignored by the others until 36:55 It would be great to have 2013's version of this discussion with Paul Thomas Anderson, Spielberg, Tarantino, Kathryn Bigelow, and Tom Hooper again.
i thought that too, but their is that part of the entertainment industry where we will forget about most actors or directors in a year if it isn't thrown at us. I think it has a place, and these do make for good quick discussions.
Thank you for that. Many of the negative commenters have ambitions in the film industry and think by "defending" these directors that somehow favor will be bestowed on them. It is regretable that they do not realise that the people on this panel almost certainly wouldn't return the "courtesy". Another thing, they did not get there on that panel for being thinned skinned. Perhaps they need to follow that example.
I´d like to see a round table with Jesse Eisenberg, Jennifer Lawrence, Seth Rogen, Aubrey Plaza, Jake Gyllenhaal and Zooey Deschanel with Conan O´Brien as moderator. I think that would make a strange, interesting and funny conversation..?
Even though his film had the worst Oscar luck of the bunch--because it was given such pathetic, blink-and-you'll-miss-it distribution--Peter Weir is by far the best director at the table. My favorite director of all-time, in fact.
I'm sure I read in an interview that the look of Ryan's older character in Blue Valentine was based on Derek's. They were often told that they looked like brothers on set. Both very cool and talented blokes.
Interesting talk, I'd love to see a round table discussion between James Cameron, Christopher Nolan, Martin Scorsese, Ridley Scott and Marc Webb. And a round table with their most frequently used actors such as DiCaprio, Crow and Bale.
the "secret" to the mpaa thing 21:15 is the directors add things they know will be cut so the mpaa will ignore things they want to stay in, they overdue it on purpose for some films.
Lynch, Scorsese, Aronofsky, Coen bros, Hitchcock, Spielberg and Kevin Smith. I love Kubrick but I have the feeling he'll shut everyone up and ramble for an hour and Tarantino who I respect, I think is too cocky and will only promote himself and try to philosophise movies.
what would be your ideal directors roundtable, regardless of age or death? mine would be david lynch, the coen brothers, tarantino hitchcock and kubrick
@pishelle David Fincher was probably in Sweden filming GIRL WITH A DRAGON TATTOO; I'm not sure where Chirs Nolan was. These group interviews and appearances all depend on who's available at the time, not necessarily who is bound to get Oscar-nominated.
O Russel also had a fight with Lily Tomlin on "I Heart Huckabees" actually that fight almost killed off his career because footage from the set leaked onto TH-cam. You can actually see the fight he had with his actors. But hey, if he grew from that and fixed himself as a person, then that's great.
Btw the trick for the MPAA that she's talking about is including really explicit scenes, knowing that they will be focused on and censored, and removing focus from the explicit scenes you actually want in the film. I heard some of the guys from Jackass talk about this. Hopefully, no one from the MPAA reads this.
is it me or does tom hooper resemble james cameron? :D they're all so safisticated and have such an amazing imagination that everyone should have won an oscar :)
I liked black swan, but since I saw perfect blue before I saw it I wasn't as impressed as other people were because it wasn't that original of an idea to me anymore , there were identical shots and even the main characters names were similar...even the overall plot was too similar ...they could have just said black Swan is a live action version, but instead the makers of it passed it on as an original idea
I respect all these filmmakers, and Tom and Pete are great, and Darren is one of my favorites, but I gotta say, Derek kills it in this interview. He's so insightful. Everyone seems to shake their head when he talks like they're saying, "Fuck. This guy knows his stuff."
Nolan probably didn't show because a few years ago David O. Russell put him in a headlock at a party because he wanted Jude Law for his movie or something. And Fincher is in Sweden shooting The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.

How hard would it be to actually get a "round table"?
expense
you all prolly dont give a shit but does any of you know of a trick to get back into an instagram account??
I somehow lost the account password. I appreciate any help you can give me!
@Aarav Brodie instablaster =)
Apparently,if you put a moustache and a scarf on Christian Bale you get Darren Aronofsky
It's about time Peter Weir is part of this round table. He is one of my favourite Australian directors. This is interesting watching and listening to all these directors talk about their movies.
WideTubeVision4 I want weir to direct again
You should watch some of the earlier films he made in Australia like Gallipoli and Picnic at Hanging Rock
I'd love to see a round table with these people.
Paul Thomas Anderson
Wes Anderson
David Fincher
Terrence Malick
Alexander Payne
Coen Brothers
(Just to name a few)
+DuBziDriFT how do the Corn Brothers taste?
+sulezraz Damn Oscar worthy
+DuBziDriFT Id just love to see an interview of Terrence Malick!
Terry Silvester yup. Too bad for us that he is very reclusive and almost never does any interviews.
The Wachowskis
Ridley
Alejandro
McKay
Tarantino
Nolan
I don't love Tom Hooper as a director but damn does he make some good points.
Derek Cianfrance seems amazing. Can't wait to see how the mature phase of his career takes shape.
PLACE BEYOND THE FUCKING PINES AND BLUE FUCKING VALENTINE!
Still waiting haha
Always love Aronofsky but Peter Weir is an amazing director. Truman's Show is one of my favourite movie.
I love Aronofsky! Almost every film I've loved. From Requiem to Black Swan to The Wrestler to The Fountain-- ugh... though I forgot about Noah. I was disappointed :(
***** What's his next project?
Noah was a cringe fest - The fountain was interesting
Darren wears scarfs so I think I might as well wear scarfs too. My neck really does get cold.
I wrote a 20 page capstone paper on the film rating system, and I wish I came across this video when I was writing.
Things you could say in 2011: It's great to have Harvey Weinstein at our side :)
Man, I love Cianfrance.
He somehow comes off as Ryan Goslings big brother to me. You know, the way he talks, even the way he looks.
The studio that Peter Weir is talking about near the end is A24, they produce fantastic movies and the risks that other studios aren't willing to take
Can you picture The Fighter directed by Darren Aronofsky?
Incredible conversation, so rich and so delightful to hear. One of the best film class I have ever witnessed.
Where is Fincher?
He is to good for it, lol
Kshitij Birdi They only invite remarkable directors
Kshitij BirdiWhat would Nolan have contributed? How to write screenplays full of exposition with robotic flat characters? How to use practical effects that had existed since the 80's to impress younger audiences? How to hire Hans Zimmer to make your film appear epic? The list goes on and on.

Probably to busy filming Dragon Tatoo.
I really only find the directors roundtables the most captivating.
I love Tom Hooper's discussion about film ratings. Brilliant and so true!
Darren totally looks like Christian Bale!!!!
Came back to remind myself how awesome Aronofsky is. Can't wait to see Noah!
LOL. Peter Weir did sound quite scary then : "That's the third time you've walked into that lamp."
I wish this went on longer, such an enjoyable and interesting talk. I'd also love to hear more from Derek Cianfrance, the process behind making blue valentine seems so fascinating.
how has aronofsky only shot his own material? both the wreslter and black swan were written by someone else, and requeim for a dream was based on a novel.
That table is not round. Just saying
GarrethJohnson Yes but they are around it
Peter Weir is a real professional.
David O. Russell is about as interesting as his films...
So like pretty interesting
The interviewer on the left seems actively engaged in keeping a conversation from breaking out. There are a couple of times when you can tell one of the directors is looking to respond to something another has said, but the interviewer leaps in and asks a question. Not the way to run things.

wow... Darren Aronofsky, David O. Russell, Tom Hooper, and Peter Weir all at one table... nice :)
David is looking down at Lisa's blouse WTF. Sorry was hard not to notice.
Annette's character is soo much like Lisa. Dito. All lovely movies. My fave is Blue valentine! And again Derek and Ryan's character look alike. Great video!
About what O'Russel was saying around 14:00 it inmediately popped in my mind that scene from Brian De Palma's Scarface when the guy is killed with the chainsaw, and they had body parts hanging and blood being spread everywhere, but you actually never see what really happened , but you have the image that you own mind created which is sometimes more powerful that anything anyone can show you, nice to bring that out
The Raul Guerrero G Hitchcock was the first to do this in Psycho (the famous Shower scene). The guy is a fucking genius.
Cianfrance is going to be one of the best honestly. 2 for 2 so far, and The Light Between Oceans looks awesome.
***** I think it was good. Definitely disappointing, but it's beautifully shot, scored, and acted. It's also pretty ambitious. But overall it fell short and the final act was kinda bad. Maybe he'll make something amazing with his next go
please watch The Place Beyond the Pines! you'll love it.
rawryfootage yeah it's great
aaand that was his last movie haha
@@bread_n_butter8614 i mean he wrote and directed the miniseries I Know This Much is True
damn those are some fancy water glasses!
Ohhhh gosh... I truly love Darren Aronofsky
More of this please !!!!
@pishelle Yes. So great of THR to have organised and filmed this roundable discussion. Is there one for screenwriters?
I didn't know that gosling was made to look like cianfrance in the movie
And the sea of brilliance between writers and directors is blatant.
I really hope The Hollywood Reporter and 'BackStage Casting' would do these one hour long roundtable discussions again for this Oscar season's directors and screenwriters. When I first watched this one when it was first uploaded nearly two years ago, I didn't notice how Tom Hooper was virtually ignored by the others until 36:55 It would be great to have 2013's version of this discussion with Paul Thomas Anderson, Spielberg, Tarantino, Kathryn Bigelow, and Tom Hooper again.

Perhaps they need to follow that example.
David O.Russell's eyes at 28:00 say it all.
He's a great director, but why is David O. Russell in every one of these directors roundtables?
I think you just answered the question.
He's only been in 3, and each of those years he was nominated for Best Director
I´d like to see a round table with Jesse Eisenberg, Jennifer Lawrence, Seth Rogen, Aubrey Plaza, Jake Gyllenhaal and Zooey Deschanel with Conan O´Brien as moderator. I think that would make a strange, interesting and funny conversation..?
I was thinking "why so many likes?" then I started watching and understood; great talk!
The Place Beyond The Pines. Looking forward to that.
Even though his film had the worst Oscar luck of the bunch--because it was given such pathetic, blink-and-you'll-miss-it distribution--Peter Weir is by far the best director at the table. My favorite director of all-time, in fact.
I'm sure I read in an interview that the look of Ryan's older character in Blue Valentine was based on Derek's. They were often told that they looked like brothers on set. Both very cool and talented blokes.
David O. Russell. All I know about him is his reputation as a ball of pure rage.
that table is absolutely not round!!!
Funny hearing Derek talking about his upcoming project 'Place Beyond the Pines' so long after he's actually made it
that was a good film
Interesting talk, I'd love to see a round table discussion between James Cameron, Christopher Nolan, Martin Scorsese, Ridley Scott and Marc Webb. And a round table with their most frequently used actors such as DiCaprio, Crow and Bale.
the "secret" to the mpaa thing 21:15 is the directors add things they know will be cut so the mpaa will ignore things they want to stay in, they overdue it on purpose for some films.
Darren loves that scarf
A round-table would have been appropriate here.
Lynch, Scorsese, Aronofsky, Coen bros, Hitchcock, Spielberg and Kevin Smith.
I love Kubrick but I have the feeling he'll shut everyone up and ramble for an hour and Tarantino who I respect, I think is too cocky and will only promote himself and try to philosophise movies.
what would be your ideal directors roundtable, regardless of age or death? mine would be david lynch, the coen brothers, tarantino hitchcock and kubrick
It's on TH-cam as well, look it up.
what the hell this table isn't round its rectangular
Man, it's not fair! I want Chris Nolan, David Fincher and Darren Aronofsky to win an oscar each. They're all so amazing!
In Norway Blue Valentine is rated PG-13 (or 11 to be specific) and The King's Speech is rated G.
and he looks like him, a kind of old ryan goslin
I wanted more of Derek, he is a beast.
I think I would want to share a table with others who share the same passion as you. My take on it though...
Am I the only one who think Tom Hooper looks like a young James Cameron?
WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME OF THIS VIDEO...THIS IS EPIC X3
just almost got to the juicy topic of film music... But not quite. That would've been great.
@pishelle David Fincher was probably in Sweden filming GIRL WITH A DRAGON TATTOO; I'm not sure where Chirs Nolan was. These group interviews and appearances all depend on who's available at the time, not necessarily who is bound to get Oscar-nominated.
Isn't there a roundtable discussion with screenwriters?
I keep reading this, where does this stem from? what situations?
I wonder if he's gonna ask Russell why there's only two minutes of boxing in The Fighter.
lmaoo me to! they almost look like them in a weird way
O Russel also had a fight with Lily Tomlin on "I Heart Huckabees" actually that fight almost killed off his career because footage from the set leaked onto TH-cam.
You can actually see the fight he had with his actors. But hey, if he grew from that and fixed himself as a person, then that's great.
I would have spend a lot of money to see fincher and nolan on this table, discussing their films.
"2 fucks or more it's an R" haha it just sounds really funny when he says the word
i like that Tom used the word 'bollocks'
amazing informative
Does anyone know the secret that Lisa Clolodenko was talking about for the MPAA?
I clicked this so excited to see David Fincher and he's not there WTF.
Btw the trick for the MPAA that she's talking about is including really explicit scenes, knowing that they will be focused on and censored, and removing focus from the explicit scenes you actually want in the film. I heard some of the guys from Jackass talk about this. Hopefully, no one from the MPAA reads this.
Start watching Russell's eyes around 22:36 and see where they go at 22:42.
Cassette recorder. Cool...
Is it just me or does no one other than Lisa ever look directly at David O. Russell?
+Danno Mack 14:54
WHERE ARE CHRISTOPHER AND DAVID!?
Darren Aronofsky is one of the best filmmakers of his generation.
its like you are forcing those ppl to chat together, they dont even wanna talk aroud a table spontaneously
is it me or does tom hooper resemble james cameron? :D
they're all so safisticated and have such an amazing imagination that everyone should have won an oscar :)
where is danny boyle??
Perfect Blue > Black Swan
I liked black swan, but since I saw perfect blue before I saw it I wasn't as impressed as other people were because it wasn't that original of an idea to me anymore , there were identical shots and even the main characters names were similar...even the overall plot was too similar ...they could have just said black Swan is a live action version, but instead the makers of it passed it on as an original idea
After watching Requiem for a Dream I finally get the joke at 9:37
Chris Nolan, Martin Scorsese, Riddley Scott, Quentin Tarantino, David Fincher.
The MPAA is a group of parents. Watch " This Film is Rated" and you will see.
I can only hope David Fincher and Christoper Nolan were off making new movies and thus to busy to take part in this interview.
where can i see "Brother Tied?"
I complete agree with Darren Aronofsky, he is such a wise man !
It's a rectangle!
Some of these directors slide under the mat because people don't really pay much attention to them and they get away with periodic pieces of garbage
I respect all these filmmakers, and Tom and Pete are great, and Darren is one of my favorites, but I gotta say, Derek kills it in this interview. He's so insightful. Everyone seems to shake their head when he talks like they're saying, "Fuck. This guy knows his stuff."
Nolan probably didn't show because a few years ago David O. Russell put him in a headlock at a party because he wanted Jude Law for his movie or something. And Fincher is in Sweden shooting The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.
@vespacurry how do u know its water?
where is Danny Boyle, Christopher Nolan, David Fincher?
