I saw Ordinary People when it first came out. Powerful movie. Powerful. I was going through some personal things and it hit me like a ton of bricks. I was the same age as Timothy. Years later, the response his character had after having to identify his son was the exact same response I had after finding out my daughter died in a mass shooting. Unbeknownst to me, it was caught on camera. Keep up the good work, Timothy. I know your dad is proud of you!
when people think about 80s films they tend to go to Raiders, ET, the John Hughes films, Back the Future but for me Ordinary People is one of the best films of the decade.
@@ktwashere5637 the films you mentioned before OP were lightweight fare kind of films. There were several great films besides OP . The ones you mentioned were family films that most of the stars considered bubblegum movies. There was Nothing Light about OP.
Timothy’s performance in my opinion was the best ever in film history. He had lost his dad to cancer the previous year and one has to believe that experience prepared him for protesting the true sense of loss that only a person who has experienced it could give , after all he was only 18 at the time . I can think of only one other true marriage between actor and the role they played and that was Judy playing Dorothy . No one else could’ve done these two characters but Hutton and Garland .
Yes, he did lose his father, Jim Hutton, in 1979. The experience of losing his dad, I'm sure, he brought to the screen. It worked, and he won the Oscar. I lost it when Timothy dedicated his win to his Dad.😭
From wiki; “On June 2, 1979, Hutton died of liver cancer, two days after his 45th birthday[40] and a month after being diagnosed.” So sudden. It’s clear he would have been grieving. I have to wonder if that choice from Redford was really necessary for Hutton to step into the character as skillfully as he did.
Jon Voight was very much paying attention while Timothy telling his story about Ordinary People. You can tell he is really interested about the history of an Oscar winning film.
Ordinary People is a landmark movie. I was 17 years old when it opened, and had some issues myself, so I really had a lot of empathy for Conrad. Not to mention, I was completely blown away at seeing Mary Tyler Moore in a dramatically different role and direction, as opposed to Mary Richards which is what I knew her from. For that matter, there was not one weak performance in Ordinary People
Redford didn't shun him (nice clickbait). Redford was being a director, trying to get the best performance out of his actors as possible. And obviously it worked. Hutton gives one of the best performances ever recorded on film.
Hutton's brief discussion of Ordinary People is illuminating. There isn't too much behind-the-scenes documentation of that film. It makes sense that Redford wanted Hutton to feel isolated, since his character was totally isolated from everyone around him.
Watched it one year as an adult on t.v. with my Dad we both cried. My Dad was not the crying type it was awkward yet a great moment for us. The great equalizer for us.
Sean doesn't have the star power of Cruise, but then, who does? Penn and Hutton are more in the vein of serious actors. Tom? He chose a different path. He is a personal favorite though and as shown by films such as "Born on the the Fourth of July' is a very capable "serious" actor.
Dude won an academy award for "Ordinary People" at the age of 20. Such a genius. We who were also teenagers when Tmothy Hutton shot this movie were deeply influenced by his art, artistry, doom and gloom. Like Tim the teenager we were also too quirky to be relatable or well-liked. We were lonely and afraid, trapped in a home environment that was too pristine to contain our weirdness. We were ashamed that we hated our mother, who would never accept us as our dead brother. We felt ashamed for his death too. On rare occasions we could depend upon our father, who was mostly too afraid to make any waves in this world. All we are is waves! ♨
I thought the Movie- "Ordinary People was a great Movie. I remember it had a tremendous impact on me watching it at a Theater. Nowadays, there are very few dramas. Everything is just a Formalic Super Hero or Action Movie. How many "FAst and Furious" can they make? I thought the Book wasn't that great. Maybe because I read the Book after I saw the Movie and the Movie if I remember is very Faithful to the Book. Almost- word by Word if I remember it right. It has been a large number of years since I read it right so I am not positive about this.
How many Fast and Furious can they make, you ask ? As many as long it turns a profit. That's the M.O. in Hollywood today. That's the ONLY criteria for making a movie these days.
I saw Timothy 's work when he was young. At that time I thought he is just a usual actor. Even with Ordinary people. But now ? My gosh he is at way much higher plane actor he is. I must admit.
I think if I were Timothy Hutton I would have said to Mary Tyler Moore: I'm only going to interact with you during our scenes to help create that distance and brittleness. If you talked to her outside of character, she'd be lovable Mary / Laura Petrie!
@@poetcomic1 Actors often act even when not on stage, though, but she did say something about the role reminding her of her mother and her own son committed suicide during filming, so it wasn't all sunshine.
I wonder if Redford broke up his marriage...his wife Debra winger was in a movie called legal eagle's in 86...so its kinda into...i saw taps when i was 9. I really loved another movie he did with the great john lone in iceman...
You do realize Redford was an actor himself, right? I think he would know how to treat other actors and clearly his direction paid off with how OP came out.
Even if he had done RISCKY BUISENESS I don't think he would 've had the same successs that Tom Cruise had, and become as a huge star as Tom, Timothy hutton won an oscar but he is not a movie star of a great magnitude one must admit , but I would've loved to have seen him Dancing on OLD TIME ROCK N ROLL😁😁 ... just for fun !!!
Is Hutton complaining here that RR didn’t give him much feedback? Well, he won an Oscar so obviously RR technique must have been the right one. Attention seeking much
Timothy Hutton is such a great underrated actor.
He’s an Oscar Winner (Best Supporting Actor for Ordinary People in 1981)

No, he got drowned by Robert Redford, Conrad would NEVER have gotten drowned by Robert Redford!

Timothy Hutton is a Great Actor
Yes, he is. Now charges have been brought against him, he won’t be in the reboot of Leverage.

TIMOTHY, Thank You for “NERO WOLFE “. It was Brilliant & a WORK OF ART. I WISH there were MORE ♥️

. Dave Glo ver
Pretty much the only person who listened to him was Dr. Berger (this film is also notable for portraying a psychologist in a positive light).
Watched it one year as an adult on t.v. with my Dad we both cried. My Dad was not the crying type it was awkward yet a great moment for us. The great equalizer for us.
Hard to believe now that when TAPS came out Timothy Hutton was considered the big future star rather than Tom Cruise or Sean Penn.
Sean doesn't have the star power of Cruise, but then, who does? Penn and Hutton are more in the vein of serious actors. Tom? He chose a different path. He is a personal favorite though and as shown by films such as "Born on the the Fourth of July' is a very capable "serious" actor.
@@jamesdunn9714 Cruise, Depp, Smith, Brad Pitt, Leo and Denzel belong in the Superstar category.
If Timothy chose Risky Business(which was offered to him first), he may very well have been the bigger star.
I miss leverage :(((
Yes!!!! 😢
mehn that scene where he is crying in the bathroom is indeed so heartwrenching
Esa película LITERALMENTE modificó mi vida, y (aunque el tiempo ha pasado ya) le estaré eternamente agradecida.
Great interview with Timothy Hutton . . . but click bait title.

should’ve never turned risky business down 😭😭
This was by design and intentional. Conrad Jarrett was pretty much ignored by Beth, and so this was designed to put Timothy Hutton in character.
yes he wasn't literally Shunned. Amazing movie !
Misleading title
Hutton is a better actor than Tom Cruise . Cruise hit pay dirt with big hits but it's no correlation of being a better actor, only a richer one .
They really didn't need click bait for this actor or director.

Ordinary People was a powerful film.. 👍👍

YOUR TITLE IS 'CLICKBAIT'.
he won he's oscar at 20, still one of the youngest people to this day to win that award, so it must have gotten to his head.
It actually didn't go to his head, he is quite unassuming.
He seemed to have so much potential and yet his subsequent roles seemed so awful.
I think if I were Timothy Hutton I would have said to Mary Tyler Moore: I'm only going to interact with you during our scenes to help create that distance and brittleness. If you talked to her outside of character, she'd be lovable Mary / Laura Petrie!
Actually, the film captured an aloof, standoffish and even cold aspect of MTM's personality. Even SHE said that.
@@poetcomic1 Actors often act even when not on stage, though, but she did say something about the role reminding her of her mother and her own son committed suicide during filming, so it wasn't all sunshine.
I wonder if Redford broke up his marriage...his wife Debra winger was in a movie called legal eagle's in 86...so its kinda into...i saw taps when i was 9. I really loved another movie he did with the great john lone in iceman...
I wonder an can't find article if he enjoyed the process if acting after that film.especially if he isolated him
That was bullshit on Redford's part. No need to treat actors like that if you just direct them.
You do realize Redford was an actor himself, right? I think he would know how to treat other actors and clearly his direction paid off with how OP came out.
Click bait.
Interesting as his girlfriend at the time Diane Lane was offered Mornay’s role and she turned it down…
Liked his dad to
Tim is no Joel…
Has. NOt aged well

It's the people who posted this with a clickbait title who are attention seeking. There was no "complaining" in this video, only reflection.
