PT Anderson interviewed by Elvis Mitchell for Film Independent at LACMA. Audio from KCRW's The Treatment. Re-uploaded because the first video wasn't playing with audio.
"he is kind of person, that has moved through most of his life alone learned to survive alone, that does't mean he desires to be with someone, the second he feels too much goodwill in the room is probably the moment he'll bail."
Probably because he knows the interviewer and presumably likes him, there are a few other interviews with the same guy for Boogie Nights, Magnolia and TWBB that are up on YT
Wasn't it walter murch who said the blinking thing? His book is called "the blink of an eye". I'm sure John Huston was smart enough to come up with that too tho.
Leaving aside Her, It'll be difficult for Joaquin to surpass what he achieved in The Master. Anybody who truly felt and lived every frame of The Master knows for a fact that Joker was nowhere near it and that's more because of sluggish direction and almost non effective writing.
And now all these people raving about phoenix and the cinematography and the pretended deep of that movie would probably see the master and say that it's boring
@@HAL--gb6uf there’s nothing wrong in trying to make people stop believing shit especially when there’s so much “real” effort in trying to make something genuinely good. It’s time the silent majority stop being silent and start calling out the “phoneys” of the world and the constant moral and cultural decadence they’re causing.
cool he mentioned the monkey in baraka and when I saw that monkey I was like shit that monkey is dope man me and PTA are the same person holy shit does that mean I AM A GENIUS TOOOOOOO?????????????????
"he is kind of person, that has moved through most of his life alone learned to survive alone, that does't mean he desires to be with someone, the second he feels too much goodwill in the room is probably the moment he'll bail."
I'm glad the interviewer brought up Travis Bickle, I thought there were several points of similarity between him and Freddie Quell.
It's fascinating the way PTA's beard stays the same length.
Wow, PTA is actually attempting to answer these questions. This is unusual.
Any other interview of his on that level?

And I listen to the mark maron podcast with him on, its fantastic and like 1 and 1/2 hours long
What the fuck is wrong with just calling him Paul instead of PTA? I don't get these shortcuts and it's truly annoying
@@weasley2o13people call directors and actors by full names, so PTA is closer to the proper use than Paul
Excellent interview... those have become rare on TH-cam.
PTA does do well with Elvis Mitchell. Also Charlie Rose.
Too bad Charlie Rose is incompetent
@@SuperiFoxNot after a few lines and some Viagra.
can't believe hoffman's gone
yeah it's sad listening to them talk about him so affectionately.
what the fuck!!!! i never knew he wasnt alive.... thats so sad
I got to be an extra as one of the sailors in the first scene of this film! Just wish it had been a bit longer lol
Are they high? By the way, Elvis Mitchell is excellent at interviewing directors so I am not surprised by the quality.
Wasn't it walter murch who said the blinking thing? His book is called "the blink of an eye". I'm sure John Huston was smart enough to come up with that too tho.
Yes, Huston.
Fantastic interview.

Marco Gianesello That itself justifies how popular consciousness and popular culture has always been so rudimentary.
Not everyone is a film student or serious moviegoer. You can't expect it from everyone

@@KushagraaDubeyy I mean you can't force people to like something. If they don't like it, they don't we can't change anything
he does pretty great interviews with elvis mitchell. i feel like pta thinks he's one of the only journalists that isn't full of shit.
16:06 Does anyone knows the name of the director he mentioned? I don't understand it
He says "Koyaanisqatsi", it is a documentary similar to "Baraka".
whats the name of the animation film director paul mentions?
Tatia Rosenthal
p...possibly
FIRST!!!
Wow. An interview where PTA doesn't get all pissy. Good find.
bryonpav I hate people like that.
Really? He seems pretty laid back most of the time to me.
When has he ever done this? He seems so chill.
This man is such a genius
Denis says "I deeply love it." Paul says "it floats my boat."
cool he mentioned the monkey in baraka and when I saw that monkey I was like shit that monkey is dope man me and PTA are the same person holy shit does that mean I AM A GENIUS TOOOOOOO?????????????????
