„He was seen as a clown,as a fool, as a prankster... but everyone realizes he may well be the smartest man in the room“ - perfect casting i‘d say
perfect casting - but script ended up too much in the spirit of Spielberg - something essentially sentimental and mindless and entirely contrary to what Abbie was about or would have approved of..
I thought Sacha was just some twit comedian til I saw him in The Spy and this movie, now I realize he's brilliant.
Rowan Atkinson went to Cambridge
This was great having BOTH the director AND the star talking about the scene together.
Yes it reminded me of the Parasite video!
I can't believe Heath Ledger and Philip Seymour Hoffman were originally cast in the movie. I can't imagine it getting any better, but wow would have loved to see them in it. RIP 🖤
Its heartbreaking to know that such talent will no longer be with us. The movie was great but if they were in it, it would have been phenomenal!
Was Hoffman supposed to play the judge?
I can't see Ledger doing as good a job as Cohen though.
@@robc4191 if Baron Cohen was cast originally surely Heath couldn't be playing the same role?
@@JayPlays2yz hoffman was probably cast as the 7's lawyer and ledger was probably the main prosecutor or tom haydn?
I wish Netflix would have a "Director/Actor commentary" audio options for certain movies. This was fantastic.
I've never been on trial for my thoughts before...Jesus what a line
Abby Hoffman is one of my favourite historical figures, he was such a legend. The casting of Sacha was perfect
you should look up Lenny Bruce, he was a comedian you in the 60's who was arrested multiple times for his comedy apparently being considered "Obscene". He isn't really a political figure, but he did stand up for what he believed in
Michael Imperioli actually has a fair bit of resemblance to him too, right? I think I'm thinking of the right guy
perfect casting - but script ended up too much in the spirit of Spielberg - something essentially sentimental and mindless and entirely contrary to what Abbie was about or would have approved of..
I could watch this format for hours. Having said that I now realise I miss the DVD format for the extras.
I love that sacha is very liberal with the pen. 😂
This movie was amazing. The writing is *chefs kiss*.
If you haven't already made the connection, in "Forrest Gump", during the scene at the Washington Mall, the guy cursing and screaming into the mic is supposed to be Abbey Hoffman. And if you've never read, "Steal This Book" by Abbey, do so-- it's a classic (but son't steal it).
He was wearing a flag for a shirt
Do steal it, they encourage you so much that a pdf of it is on the Wikipedia page!
*steal it
I was maybe 11 or maybe 12 years old with my Parents in Manhattan. We went into a Bookstore. It may have been the Collesium Bookstore which was a Big Bookstore at one time. I saw the book- "Steal the Book" and I instinctively took it I was 11 or 12 years old and I had no idea what the book was about, but I guess the Book gave a Subliminal suggestion to me and I just took it.
A clerk caught me and grabbed me and I just told him the Book says- Steal the Book and that is what I did. The Clerk let me go and my parents just strugged off the Event. I was and still is a NIce, Jewish Boy ( a much older boy now) Stealing and Shoplifting is not my thing.
I read later that the book owner had to start keeping that book under lock and key because so many people just started stealing that book. I, personally think the Publishers of the Book should have insisted Abbie use another title, but that would have been against the spirit of Abby Hoffman's beliefs.
False advertisement
I love Sacha, very intelligent person who uses his platform to address important issues in a hilarious way. Also, didn't know he was a lefty before this video!
He's probably amstrodeckseus
@@uzahoe1637 abmidextrys.
@@flanchocoflan learn how to spell jackazz
Really ? Than why doesn’t he address the Important issue of Israel’s aggression towards Arab states and their brutal dictatorship of Palestine instead of making a series about how wonderful it was that Israel put a spy in another country’s government with the hopes of overthrowing it.
@@geneawisea2708 see a psychiatrist.
“Give me a moment, would you friend? 😏 I never been on trial for my thoughts before.” 🏆
In all of this, Sacha made a point to recognize the extras for how good they were. That says a lot to me about what kind of person he is.
And this video was just amazing
he is hated in one village which borat 1's setting was placed
I have watched this vid so many times and I've concluded that seeing sacha discussing playing Abbie and Aaron in videocall just adds so much detail to the whole movie making
The fact that the Chicago Police's response to protests haven't changed at all though says something so much about this film as well as the Chicago Police
I’d watch an entire series of these two just breaking down movies
Me: Sacha Baron killed the role of Abbie.
Sacha: It's a practically a religion for me.
Aaron sorkin scripts have such immaculate dialogue. He just really cuts to the heart and conflict of a scene.
He's a fantastic actor and I'd love to see him try out more dramatic roles.

@@iloveinvestments8192 lmao nice one dipshit
He’s quite good in “the spy” or something along those lines. Quite serious role.
Aaron Sorkin, legendary screenwriter.
Still has to go through MORE THAN THIRTY DRAFTS of a script to get it right.
Any time Sacha notices something he likes that’s taking the attention of the scene that’s not him he’s like “this is CGI” lmao
I'm fairly sure it was a reference to another director who did one of these who was so insanely proud of all the digital effects in his film. He would pause a scene and say "this tire is cgi, this door wasn't here we put that in after, this was a stuntman and we digitally put the actor's face on him" and he did it with such gusto and joy that he didn't realize that was the exact reason the movie itself sucked.
Wish I could remember which one it was.
@@WalkerRileyMC hilarious man!
@@WalkerRileyMC Lucas
He should have won an Oscar for this
He’s currently nominated for best supporting actor!
The oscars haven’t happened yet, he could win one! He’s nominated
He didn't win.
His accent is so good, genuinely wasn’t looking at the screen and couldn’t tell it was him speaking
Hoffman was British?
@@ubahfly5409 no lol
@@natalyamorel3378 Exactly! So what are these ppl talkin about? Sacha's voice is instantly recognizable regardless of "accent", & as immensely talented as he is, he can't do an American accent to save his life lol.
Can confirm: it’s a pretty clunky Worcester accent, but it has moments of perfection
This is brilliant. Everyone involved with this film is amazing.
I love how the director is new enough that he properly explains things
This role was just perfect for Sacha
100%. Sacha always comes off like a such a joker but in real life hes probably one of the most serious people you'll ever meet. Perfect casting.
I thought that was a terrible casting choice until I saw the film and he really blew me away with that performance.
I never thought Cohen had it in him.
This is phenomenal. These two are brilliant, and absolutely ELECTRIC together.
Thank God for Aaron clearing up that thing about the Ewoks. I would have believed it otherwise
I’m so in love with Sacha❤️
*sasha
@@uzahoe1637 it’s actually spelled with a C in the middle!❤️
One of my favourite films of the last few years, so it was really great to hear and see this breakdown.
sacha was loving having marker control
The historical event is fantastic and the film is immaculate, brilliant written and performed. A masterpiece!
this movie is a perfect court room drama.... brilliant brilliant writing and performance by everyone ...
MORE OF AARON PLZZ !!!! he's the coolest director to listen to
@@iloveinvestments8192 crypto is a bubble (mic drop)
*Kazakhstan, Kazakhstan, you very nice place*
NAAUUUGHT
I watched this when it came out and only NOW do I realize that he was in this movie. What an actor! His dialect is on point.
Thoroughly fascinating!
Super informative and entertaining, more like these please!
Trial Of The Chicago 7 is a masterpiece. Loved every minute of it.
The cast, cinematography, and writing was fantastic.
Yikes that's embarrassing
@@niceteal whats you're thoughts?
this man is immensely underrated! He is a GENIUS in my opinion. for many reason.
This was the best film I saw last year
I absolutely love this movie, made me cry, laugh, and mad. Sacha baron cohen was amazingly cast as abby hoffman, but i gotta say young robert romanus also resembles hoffman.
Mr. Cohen and mr. Sorkin elevaits art to its highst form with generousity, wisdom and a great talent.
Thank you great men:)
Mr. Cohen and Mr.* Sorkin elevate* art to its highest* form ...
I just love how the cast, the writers, even the audience thought of Trump when Sacha delivered that line, and I was so thrilled to know the Chicago seven was released just when the 2020 protests were happening...I hope this movie wins the Oscars
Shame Borat won't visit Pyongyang so we can normalize ties with Kazakhstan
Bruh aint no one going to pyongyang cause the country of hong Kong isn't free 🤣🤣🤣🤣 what a dumbass
@@uzahoe1637 what a dumbass.. hong kong isn't a country..and Kim's country is north Korea.. whats the point in Google?
I love the Sorkinism "every 4 years"
He courted the role of Abbie Hoffman for decades - that's commitment.

There's still Cambridge and London in that accent.
There are* Cambridge and London ...
@@einundsiebenziger5488 Let's split the difference: there's Milton Keynes in that accent!
The most original and powerful theme I witnessed in recent movies..👍🏼
Imagine if Ledger and Hoffman were in this
Was still and insane movie, but those two names shocked me
So educational
The only 2 critiques I've heard about this movie is that they didn't truly capture how much of a circus show this trial was, the judge and one of the lawyers were literally going at it verbally throughout the trial, the judge was showing racism by saying how he wasn't racist. The judge also hated these people. Pretty much, this trial was a massive waste of taxpayer's dollars because almost every decision was reversed on appeal due to the judge's behaviour. The second critique was with Joseph Gordon Levitt doing the most unrealistic legal trope that is done in every legal movie or tv show. He walked into the well and approached the jury. You get tackled if you do that without permission.
Sorkin’s name should be in the title
i love this movie i've watched it 9 times already
Ayo same!!
If Sacha doesn't win the Oscar tonight, I'd get pissed at least for several minutes.
I’m still pissed.
Sasha loved having the drawing authority while Aron just watched XD
Netflix please give Sacha Baron Cohen his own mini series or collab with Seinfeld
Truly a brilliant film
I just found out my grandpa took part in the protests
Is there any extras that worked on the movie here in the comment section? I'm curious
Fun! They’re so smart and funny and passionate. ☺️🤗
Who??
Loved that movie
Bravo!
And do the reverse and send Joseph Gordon Levitt 30 years in the future and he becomes Bruce Willis!
Now that's a full loop
Hey I loved the movie so much but i am confused by some of the things said here. If you believe Abbie never said a kind word to Tom Hayden until the end of the movie, it does not go with what was portrayed on screen, which shows Abbie making several attempts to reach out to Hayden only to be rebuffed. The comments made in the video by Cohen and Sorkin left me confused as to what movie I actually watched.
Sacha would be a great Donnie Brasco-esque undercover FBI.. imagine him as a mafioso? 😂
It'd be the 1st courtroom video testimony to win an Oscar and become a new genre - testimonial reality footage films! I'm coining this term and idea. =]
15:40 - I am concerned you have to think about it.
- Give me a moment, would you friend? I have never been on trial for my thoughts before. "
THAT! That supernova of a bomb exploding in that courtroom on the face of everybody! That moment when you realize democracy is only as good as the rights of people to disagree and speak differently, but here the simple thought is unlawful...
@LegalEagle did the prosecutor walked into a trap he was thinking he was setting up?
loved this film . Sorkin's screenplay and dialogues are nuts . loved Sacha

Master of the reaction. Every single one.
It’s bananas what’s actually in between these shots
Wonderful film
Sacha is too creative of an actor for Aaron to write for.
Aaron is too great of a writer for Sacha to improv for.
Together, it was one of the best roles I've seen in a long time.
Wow. Good point, beautifully articulated.
Why is Borat so attractive
Borat is a totally different character that Sacha Baron Cohen once played. That character is not in the movie discussed here.
wouldve loved to see heath ledger in this :(
Who were Philip and Heath gonna play?
while I was watching the trailer for this movie I was thinking “Wow, Adam Carolla can Act!”
This deserve oscar
Sacha is funny every time, that's insane
I had no idea Heath was supposed to be in this movie
Love him
Oh funny and handsome mr. Cohen
such a good movie
My friend Brady Jenness actually played in this movie. Had to take a couple months off from school.
Was she one of the members of the conspiracy office?
@@priyachoudhary9896 no he was the little kid at the beginning of the movie.
I was about 20 minutes into the film until I realised it was Sacha playing Abby. I had to pause the film to confirm using Google. Brilliant acting, brilliant film.
It's a shame Abbie internalized the politics until the pain overwhelmed his survival. Son Andrew Hoffman worked to give Boston a safe injection site/needle exchange, long before there was an opoid eppidemic
I loved this movie!!!
It’s a masterpiece! Loved every minute of it.
Sasha looks kinda like Paul Stanley with long locks yo!
Hearing Sacha say my name (my name's Abigail but everyone calls me Abbey) so many times is just surreal🥰 and my brother's name is Aaron 😂
Great insight to the workings behind a great film.
I only wonder why Sacha keeps calling Aaron “Air-on”, but it’s probably an inside joke.
This entire cast and the scriptwriting is 11/10
Abby Hoffman's mother was my substitute teacher sometimes.
Would of loved to be in the room when Spielberg found out Sacha wanted to be in the movie just as borat was resleased
Would have* (!) loved. "Would of" makes no sense, and it makes even less sense to put it in writing.
Aaron Sorkin kind of reminds me of Chris Nolan
Sacha baron woken over here, breakin’ down everything he’s in
Abbie Hoffman? Yippie!
2:58 amogus
My mom watched this movie and notoriously hated Borat and was like, “That borat actor was terrible.” I asked, “How’d you like Trial of Chicago 7?” She answered, “It was good! I really liked Abbie. That actor did a good job.” When I told her it was the same actor as Borat, she didn’t believe me.”
Sacha Baron Cohen and Daniel Bruhl are 2 actors where I never hear their true accents
Dont be a bystandard.
Oscar winners 2021
wow heath was supposed to be in this movie.. didn't know that. He would have been amazing
