    Beyond traditional movie-making and screenplay writing. Really admire his clarity and confidence about his work. Making "everyday" moments film-worthy is not easy.

    He made a right point of the power about storytelling. Stakes often do matter, but they are not sufficient to make the audience feel related to the film. Authenticity and honesty of the story, capturing the everyday moments of our lives can truly resonate with us.

    It’s true that if something resonates with you, and you capture that honestly, it translate onto others. I recognized this when I watched a NOWNESS video on pottery. I was so moved I started searching up pottery classes right after. “The power of cinema” I think it’s the power of artistic expression. The power exists in music as well. In a painting, etc.

    I love how he recognizes the small audience/fans when making the trilogy. He knows that there's a small bunch of people that appreciates the honesty in the before trilogy. And we thank him for that!

    This is why Linklater has been my favorite director since I saw the one-of-a-kind Waking Life in 2003.

    The greatest filmmaker of all time. The Before trilogy, Boyhood and Everybody Wants Some!! made me feel things no other art has ever made me feel. Thank you, Richard, for the hours and hours of life you've breathed into me with your art.

    Linklater heads will remember Caveh Zahedi talking about cinema essentially being the way to acknowledge the "holy moments" in everyday life (WAKING LIFE) which is kind of the sentiment he's echoing here. To this day, one of my favorite cinematic moments in history and naturally, because it's something Rick personally and deeply believes in.

    Producers can't make _a single_ movie - it is the director, _relating to a story_ who turns it into a movie.

    i totally understand what you are talking about director you are talking about how you think you run my life and choose what i do like i have no free will..well guess what when i wake up and from this slave prison you guys call the holographic world or America, earth... you are so in trouble i know im in a hospital bed asleep in another dimension. this Amy girl is me but in a different body and more wiser to the truth. The relationship with her love is the strongest love of all! the ones who met somewhere in a different city on vacation was her grandparents. and yes i am very spiritual and full of energy but not the hyper kind the loaded with talent, visions, and gifts from our creator kind. i am also the main character in the movie waking life. which explains my life today. i was born in 1991 two years after she died.. any feedback anyone? screenplay writer?

    OK I have to say,…that while I have a good chance of being absolutely 100% wrong here my best guess is that Richard is on a coke filled high here. Why do I say that?…well because I’ve seen this type of behavior many times. That’s said, I am a huge fan of his movie making talent!!! I think for every great intellect,…there’s also a deficit of sorts and perhaps Richard is no different than other great artists for whatever reason. There exist some level of pain - Amy Winehouse etc comes to mind.. who knows, right?

    • @THICCTHICCTHICC

      Or he's just extremely passionate about this particular point. He's literally referring to the people who make him want to make more movies.

    • @2ifbysea
      @2ifbysea 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I absolutely thought the same thing that Richard is on a cocaine high here… I have recognized this type of behavior before. He’s a great artist but great artists often seek out a means to calm their creative mind.
