What is masculinity exactly? It's always evolving, imo. Uneducated people believe masculinity = fucking biological females and/or not being penetrated. I, as a straight male, don't believe doing certain acts or not doing certain acts doesnt make a male "masculine".
I just saw Queer tonight. It blew me away. Absolutely career best for Daniel Craig. The themes of the story are obviously something he's genuinely interested in, and I don't only mean the sexual attraction. Everything he and Luca say here had me nodding my head vigorously in agreement.
If they're discussing sex scenes in film, I thought Brokeback Mountain did it perfectly. The first time they "did it", very quick and somewhat violent, fit the characters very well. But then the next time, I can only describe it as very moving, they just handled that scene brilliantly. It was very tentative and slow, and ultimately not just sex, but an expression of sudden love.
I saw the film and I think Daniel Craig is brilliant, this man embellished the word ACTOR to the fullest and should very proud of his work and his performance in this film. The scene in the jungle is so much more, it is about a connection between people is so incredible and it happen between to men on that level is brilliant, it’s the connection that everyone wants and is very rare indeed. If one is so fortunate to find that with another person will have a life time of joy. I am a Gay black man and this film is brilliant and breathtaking.
What a beautiful interview. I do wish they had gay leads because too many gay actors aren't getting roles like this but I am delighted at the sensitivity and understanding with which they approached it. Love truly is love.
Please leave positive user reviews for Queer on metacritic. Haters and bigots are giving it a bad score . It is a beautiful and ethereal film with an Oscar worthy performance by Daniel Craig
@@ML-te6qvare you implying he was forced to? He did the movie because he wanted to do it. Hes an actor, not an actual spy and will keep playing roles that aren’t just James Bond adjacent
The root of hate is fear. People find it easier to project their fears through hate rather than acknowledging what they don't know and understand. Our society is sick, and its leaders have and continue flaming these fears. We need more movies like Queer.
Awesome movie! I cannot wait to watch the full three hours version of it. It reflects not only the society of the 50’s but it still very real in today’s world.
One of the best movies I’ve seen in years. Absolutely thrilling from beginning to end. It might be the best movie that Luca Guadagnino has ever made, and I’m including movies like I Am Love, which is a masterpiece.
I also want to add one more thought and that is the fact that this is between two men with a vast difference in age. Our community has such a disconnect when it comes to age difference. Yes, it started out as that the mature man is paying for sex with a younger man but then I thanked a turn. When you see the younger one actually takes care of him when he is a his lowest point in his life, he is there and if that’s not genuine love. Even though they go there separate ways in the end. This is a brilliant film. There is that possibility of love between a younger man and a mature man, one just has to get passed the stigma that society has put on this kinda of love providing the the younger is older than 18.
I thought so too, Luca seemed annoyed by the questions. I personally found the questions to be too complex yet very vague all at the same time. Too complex for the time they were given and at times too controversial. For example his one question about gay sex scene, was ultimately 7 questions. How does gay sex compare to straight sex being asked in the media? Delicate? Respectful? More fascination? Or is it just the same? Like that's 6 questions right there and to add he is ultimately asking about homophobia between the different ways of tackling gay sex scene between straight and gay sex scene in media. Like it seems open ended but quite pointed and controversial in his way of questioning. I feel like the interviewer needs to edit his question and almost allow a natural flow instead over complicating an interview. If I was the interviewee I would have to clarify all his questions and say is this what you are actually asking or something else. Make it more direct and less convoluted.
Daniel Craig is strong enough of an actor that he can overcome any type of stereotype or pigeon holding which a lot of people are afraid of like you'd never get Tom Cruise to do something like this or the rock they could never do it they don't have the range
Looking forward to the movie. Queer, is a term i use when talking about myself or others in the communities. The DCGJIKNGFR+ is an absurd mouthful in constant flux. I'm 80, and queer.
That's cool because 30 years ago, talking to the older generations they hated the word queer because it's the word the nazis called us but mostly it was because of it's dictionary meaning of weird or strange. Which we are not, we are just like everyone else (although personally I don't care if someone calls me weird, I'd rather be weird than bland.)
The interviewer was awful my goodness. Clearly hasn’t read the novella, or knows anything about its context. Loved how they both dismissed his nonsensical questions though, class.
How were the questions nonsensical? Sometimes art is very disconnected from society even when the story is about society(ironically). The interviewer is making that connection because reality isn’t all peaches and rainbows
@@wertsdfg7579 the interviewer had most of his questions oriented towards the physical nature of the sex scenes as well as the concept of homophobia, and if you pay close attention to Daniel and Luca they seem exasperated by those shallow questions so they take them, flip them and shoot back answers with much more depth and intellect
@@ronymerheb9220 They only seem shallow by people who are so deep into intellectualism, that they’ve now removed themselves from reality. This separation is common in science, art and filmmaking. There’s always a disconnect between the creator and broader society
I saw it tonight. More sex than I expected but very well done. The costumes were amazing. The jungle scenes were very unexpected but nicely done. I do wish the sound was better. The soundtrack was great. The ending left me sad. I wished so much more for him.
@@jbak87 Thank you. If you run across a source for that quote, please share. I've tried to find where Jeanne Moreau said this with no luck - so far, anyway!.
Not everybody is into gay sex, that has to be accepted. Some people do find it disgusting. In the same way some gay people probably find straight sex very boring. Everyone is different and has their own tastes - there's no 'phobia' to any of it. It's just preference. Eg I also don't like lasagne, but that doesn't make me lasagne-phobic - I'm not afraid of it, I just don't like the taste. Accept one another's tastes and preferences. We can tolerate each-other without calling out a fellow individuals persona revulsion at something.
I find heterosexual, sex, disgusting and repulsive, but I would never post about that online out of respect for the people who are straight. Yet people have no problem, posting about gay or queer sexuality, as if they have the right to judge a group of people or sexual acts because they are not like what they see or who they are or what they do. So why doesn’t everyone just shut up and keep to themselves?
I'm going to see the movie tomorrow night. I'm 72 and for me the word "queer" will always be an insult. Reclaiming the word to me, seems to be self-loathing.
I am 37 and I hate that word. I remember it being used in a porno from the early 70's starring Andrea True. Andrea in one line says, "what are you, a queer?"
I don’t think it was necessarily this interview he was fed up with, it was probably that they’d been in those chairs for hours, doing one interview after another.

Attitude was not being that complex, and Luca just looked sullen and bored.
Interviewers should stick to interviewing and not giving their own opinions and thoughts. I wanted to hear about the movie and story not the perception in society
It baffels me how the director is deeply criticizing gay culture and paranoia of being alone and at the same time celebrating gay men and for the love of god most ignore that criticism, refuse to engage in the enlightening conversation that can actually heal so many things. Many choose to see is exactly what the director mentioned, the mediocrity of things instead of the deep. Why are many gay men so scared of being deep??? 😢
Mostly celebs are very basic and try so hard to say "deep things" and think the are cult just becouse they read two classic novels and two political trendy books
Some reviews, eg in The Guardian, say it’s a mediocre movie. I think Craig is exploring his sexuality and I won’t be paying for his exploration by seeing the movie.
Seriously? Obviously, I’m unsure where you’re at in your life, but perhaps you need to get out more. I know plenty of homosexuals who are very masculine, perhaps too much when I think about it. Perhaps it’s they’re attempt at hiding their more queer side, but they’re masculine nonetheless.
"Masculinity is very often just a suit of armor people put up for whatever reasons to hide something." hit me hard. Very wise thought...
I am gay, a real queer person, not like them, and I am not agree with that quote
It is not an actual quote, but it perfectly embodies Lacan's concepts of semblant and phallic jouissance.
Im sick of the war on masculinity. And thats coming from someone very feminine.
What is masculinity exactly? It's always evolving, imo. Uneducated people believe masculinity = fucking biological females and/or not being penetrated. I, as a straight male, don't believe doing certain acts or not doing certain acts doesnt make a male "masculine".
Both of these comment is not clear the fact 😂 but same way
"we should be welcoming the mediocrity of the majority as a fact of life" I’m gagged
wisdom of the crowds...
Literally came to make this exact comment
Esse pensamento é excelente
Two wonderfully eloquent and thoughtful artists.
I love that Daniel Craig took inspiration from Tennessee Williams’ Memoirs.
And he’s right, it truly is a fantastic read!
Daniel already has played a queer man in a movie about Francis Bacon. A few years before he became James Bond. I look forward to seeing him in Queer.
And he played Joe in the 1993 production of Angels In America alongside Jason Isaacs, I really wish I'd seen that!
And the prisoner that seduces Truman Capote
Yes. With Derek Jacobi as Francis Bacon. 'Love is the Devil' (1998). Both are superb
@@euchrideucrow1970 I loved that series. Watched it online a few yrs ago
And in Glass Onion
Please let Daniel at least get an Oscar nomination! His performance tore me to shreds.
I just saw Queer tonight. It blew me away. Absolutely career best for Daniel Craig. The themes of the story are obviously something he's genuinely interested in, and I don't only mean the sexual attraction. Everything he and Luca say here had me nodding my head vigorously in agreement.
Look him up complaining about gay men swarming around him during the Bond shoot.
If they're discussing sex scenes in film, I thought Brokeback Mountain did it perfectly. The first time they "did it", very quick and somewhat violent, fit the characters very well. But then the next time, I can only describe it as very moving, they just handled that scene brilliantly. It was very tentative and slow, and ultimately not just sex, but an expression of sudden love.
Absolutely agree. Another beautiful film.
‘Red, White and Royal Blue’ also showed how a sex scene can (and should) be done.
Beautiful love story.
I saw the film and I think Daniel Craig is brilliant, this man embellished the word ACTOR to the fullest and should very proud of his work and his performance in this film. The scene in the jungle is so much more, it is about a connection between people is so incredible and it happen between to men on that level is brilliant, it’s the connection that everyone wants and is very rare indeed. If one is so fortunate to find that with another person will have a life time of joy.
I am a Gay black man and this film is brilliant and breathtaking.
Seeing this next week and I cannot wait! Burroughs is one of my favourite writers and to see this on the screen will be a joy.
I must say this film was unlike anything i've ever seen. Guadagnino touched something I didn't know my heart needed with this body of work. Brilliant.
Great interview. I loved that all the questions were deep and that both of them gave very good answers
I had never noticed how Luca speaks with an accent that reminds me a little of Slavoj Zizek.
Same!
What a beautiful interview. I do wish they had gay leads because too many gay actors aren't getting roles like this but I am delighted at the sensitivity and understanding with which they approached it. Love truly is love.
INSTANT huge fan of Luca. I could listen to him talk all day!

Best james bond ever!!! Such a anti hate actor. A treasure of england.
Every Bond is the best Bond ever. 🤣

Congratulating people for doing the bare minimum, not hating gay people, is odd
I loved his answer to how to respond to hate.
This interview is so good and intelligent. Amazing questions and answers. Seeing it tomorrow ❤

Great interview!
I'm going to see it today.
I'm now totally intrigued and curious.
We are very fortunate for having this man.
I've come to see queer much as the host does. It can unite all the labels of sexuality (even some hetero behavior).
I love Daniel Craig, he can act anything. He is smart, handsome and humble.

Luca Goat
what an amazing actor, director, and film...
I hope the movie is in exhibition in my country soon...it always takes forever.
This is what actors do- share stories through actions & behavior. Sadly, media & some aspects of society that want to warp the concept.
This interview is very mired in the interviewer’s limited perspective
I noticed part of a Sinéad song (All Apologies) in the beginning, is this also in the movie?

Not just that. Daniel is 56. He is past his prime. So he has nothing to risk. Money, fame, acclaim all ticked.
He already did interview with the vampire))

As a gay man myself, I have no interest in films about sad gays with horrible lives and bad endings! (With the exception of Brokeback Mountain)
anyone that labels themself as gay is a sad state of mind to begin with isn't it.
The trailer was quite lovely
Especially when Drew Starkey's shirt was off. 😍

Not TRUE.
You’ve met masculine gays, you just didn’t know they were
You clearly don't understand the dynamics of homossexual relationships.

Daniel Craig from the United States why did you take the gay role
he didn't have to unless he was pressured into it just weird
Because it's an excellent character. Good for him
@grayrachelle oh he's woke that's the problem, luckily this 🐎💩 will stop
In my life, I utilize ODD & PECULIAR as a definition for Queer. It's hard to be such in the slang use it has been used. 🧐🫶🏳️🌈
