I dont think he was about to burst in laughter as some people here suggest. I read it as "thank you,it was a pleassure, goodbye" said without any words. I find it actually very nice and polite
Wtf... he was not going to laugh, he was feeling something. Same with her. The performance is about the power of that communication. A really strong and overwhelming thing.
or cry...his right eye just before they cut to her and back to him...before he ever looked like he wanted to smile..I think he couldn't believe he was about to cry.
Shock of my life in this video - I was actually there during James Franco's stint and just spotted myself and my friends in the background in the first 10 seconds....utterly freaked out
This is absolutely beautiful, just imagine staring at someone for a moments time without saying a word then walking away like it was the best conversation of your life. What a truly powerful moment!
he is visiting famous performance artist Marina Abramovic's piece at the MoMa. She sits for 7 hours a day and stares at whoever sits across from her, not speaking or moving. I am not exactly sure what message she intends to convey with this piece, but more often than not, the person walks away crying.
I would just like to say that this video is not about James Franco and how lucky Marina Abramovic is to have had a moment with her. It's about two friends staring into each other seeing each other in nothing but who they are, raw. It's not about the people around it's about the people involved and the minute of peace one can have whilst staring into another's depths. This is about the art of humanity not about James Franco or about visual art.
Narola: I find your comment so interesting, and the fact that you have so many positive responses to it as well. You see, I am an actor and an artist, and one of the most difficult things artists, actors in particular, have to do is learn not to judge the moments we inhabit. The urge to laugh arises out of basic human insecurity, and the need to judge what makes us feel unsafe. Actor's fight this in order to transform themselves for the stage. We should all fight this, in order to find true joy.
Someone mentioned "staring contest" which is true. I think it is about staying "in character". This is probably the most difficult time to stay in character when you have no script to help you stay in character. James is a teacher as well as an actor and I think he knows this all too well.
Its interesting that in our hectic lives we rarely take a moment to stop dead still and just breathe, reflect, observe. When we stop dead there is a moment of peace is there not? A definitive period of time in which we occupy a space and simply just are. I havent read about Marina and what she was aiming at but for me it made me reflect on my own inner turmoil and examine the movement inside my head. Although they are both stationary clearly there is still some movement inside.
I know I am just an ignorant hic from Mississippi, but I don't get it. We use to play a game called "stare-out" when I was kid, never thought of it as "Art" and we only played it when we had to stay inside the house but had to be quiet.
It's fine that you don't get it. I used to play the game "stare-out" too, but this is something completely different. Marina is staring at whoever sits in front of her and is projecting unconditional love on to everybody who sits in front of her. She treats them all with the same equal amount of respect. And it has been recently discovered by scientists that it is possible to project feelings on to other human beings without direct communication using forms of telepathy. that's what this performance is all about.
When I say "forms of telepathy" I don't mean the sci-fi form that many people think of. It's more of a synchronicity between two people (marina, and the viewer).
In her documentary she say that is was about conection with the performer and the audience, to become one with the other through looking to your eye without expecting anything.
She is the thief taking credit for something that's been done for 2500 years in Buddhism.. the teacher.. the great teacher and or lama before he does an important teaching will come out ,sit down and very calmly lock eyes with one person and they will have a silent conversation ..he will look at them lovingly or knowingly. .... then he will look at another person and do the same thing and then another person ,another person, and another person.. this is nothing new .. ...does she give credit where credit is due. She mention this ? .....of course not... that's what art thieves ..do they NEVER GIVE CREDIT to where they actually got their IDEAS... ....stupid people think she's a genius... please look at the videos of her with the SPIRIT COOKING writing on the walls in PIG'S BLOOD... Blood and Guts ...it is so SICKENING ...and then look at the vids of her with the CANNIBAL CAKE party where they take a giant knife and CUT OUT the FAKE HEART out of what looks like a real live Human woman and then they EAT THAT FAKE HEART and the rest of the body... .... she knows what she's doing and that it is a mock but symbolic satanic Human Sacrifice ritual she gets the public to participate in. ... stupid people stay and smile for the cameras... the smart ones say eff this sick shit ...I'm out of here. Look for the video of Thomas Sheridan who was the male witch who says the same thing about her that she knows exactly what she's doing
I just saw the video with Ulay and now this. What's the purpose of this art installation? a staring contest? Obviously intended to be something more than just that but an explanation would be nice
I knew it!!!!! I kept saying WHY is James Franco in every movie like some new actor looking very youngish and here's why. He's with the Spirit Cooker and apparently has been a long time, at least he is getting rewarded and drinking his Adrenochrome.
I hope not. I haven’t seen enough videos to agree that he is but he is cause he’s my favorite actor but he might have taken the path of evil like most of them. But idk he just doesn’t give off that vibe. It almost seems like he was offered a spot in her art since she’s well known and he took it. He is the producer for most of the movies he’s in. That’s why he’s in so many
do you think that the table in her other works made a difference? i mean because sometimes objects between bodies make a difference between human communications. i think or id like to think. just something i was wondering. if the table was there would he had stayed longer? etc etc
They both worship principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world, spiritual wickedness in high places! So they’re feeling a demonic power!
It's a shame a lot of people here either doesn't know who Marina is, or cares. I mean James Franco is awesome, and even more awesome that he likes her, but the comments on Marina being creepy is just ... what?
Depends on how you define art. This is a type of performance art. It's not going to be everybody's cup of tea, but I suppose you have to find the deeper meaning in it to fully appreciate it. Not saying you don't, I am just speaking generally.
My uncle's an electrician. He's a very clever man and earns a lot of money from the job. More than most people with an office job (unless they're high up in the company). His mother is an architect and his father is a psychologist. They're both bookish, quiet and pretty wealthy, just like their electrician son. I know you want to appear clever but your assumptions have let you down on this occasion.
This video made me laugh pretty hard! If I was in James' place the instant the women looked up at me I'd have smiled or something. Also LMAO @ the people watching them!
From appeal to praise. To applause to life. Sounds and connections. To obession to evil lust. I wonder what will change for this in mind...belief in love and truth seem to be far from the heart I guess...what else could I believe in? Pizza or...light...health and betta fighting fish. But love is beautiful. So is the meaning in joy that we find in others. Takes time to have or make friends. Even family or country tries to teach us that. But wisdom is justified by all her children. Yeah go and read most of the products we buy and their sayings that help us be inspired. And wisdom is a being in life that did not give up on us as well.
Performance art is so boring outside the museum setting. It's flat. Who cares half the time without the institutional setting of museums, its just someone acting out.
well the woman's a performance artist, I guess the performance was that people could just come and sit with her, with her looking into your eyes and vica versa. but im only guessing.
Ignore them. I've seen this exact "discussion" in many videos. I mean, this exact discussion word by word. Maybe they are trolling, maybe they have some goal, but sure is copy paste.
I dont think he was about to burst in laughter as some people here suggest. I read it as "thank you,it was a pleassure, goodbye" said without any words. I find it actually very nice and polite
nah he's about to laugh
Wtf... he was not going to laugh, he was feeling something. Same with her. The performance is about the power of that communication. A really strong and overwhelming thing.
Lol whatever you say
One of those things I will always wish I could have been part of.
2 satanists in love : beautiful ! Lol
Yeah two people looking at each other much art such feeling wow
The smile on his face at the end speaks so much.
Looked uncomfortable
She is thinking 'God he is so beautiful!'
@Truth it's so good to finally find you Truth !!!
some say she's still there
I feel like.. he had to leave because he was about to laugh..
or cry...his right eye just before they cut to her and back to him...before he ever looked like he wanted to smile..I think he couldn't believe he was about to cry.
I think there was a 1 minute time limit.
He is quite serious actor than most of us know I guess
Shock of my life in this video - I was actually there during James Franco's stint and just spotted myself and my friends in the background in the first 10 seconds....utterly freaked out
Do you drink adrenochrome too?
You should be with that demonic lady and her Spirit Cooking voodoo for the Elite Satanic Baby killers.
If somebody farted loudly in the background. I would totally lose it
Kyle Auramenko hahahhahahahahahahahhahaah
I just lost it by imagining that situation 😭😭🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
I could stare at his face forever.

James Franco has great respect for Marina Abramovic as an artist. That is not laughter. He is humbled.
marina abramovic and james franco have a staring contest
Make no mistake about it. This was a display of dominance...
sheisa LUCIknownFERIAN
Tons of bizarre photos and video of Marina Abramovic with DeNiro, Gaga, and more.
She won
If yo make her laugh you win?
hes one of those guys that can look a mess and still look amazing.
pause at 1:12
TheDemand24 he was making fun of her.
Opulence Phoenix I think he thanked her.
@@Iceis_Phoenix He's high as a fucking kite.
At that moment he knew........he fucked up!
Did anyone else notice Pedro Pascal (Oberyn Martell in Game of Thrones) in the crowd on one of the last days?

Franco is high as shit! You know he is dont deny it!
he is high af!xD

She finally found someone else who siphons energy from people by staring.
You were not just another visitor you were my life❤

Чи зүгээр нэг зочин биш байсан, чи миний амьдрал байсан❤
This is hillarious and beatiful at the same time
Another video catches Orlando Bloom at the exhibit. Not sure if he sat down with her but he was present. James Franco is not the only actor to visit.
he was about to burst out laughing that's why he did that little grin and turned to the side and left ..lmao so cute
he was about to laugh cuz he was about to cry before that (he had a whole tear in his right eye)
I just saw the video with Ulay and now this. What's the purpose of this art installation? a staring contest? Obviously intended to be something more than just that but an explanation would be nice
Best art work Franco has ever made
hay =) can anyone explain me what this is about please =) thx
This is one of the most intense staring contests I've ever seen.
James Franco is a work of art
I knew it!!!!! I kept saying WHY is James Franco in every movie like some new actor looking very youngish and here's why. He's with the Spirit Cooker and apparently has been a long time, at least he is getting rewarded and drinking his Adrenochrome.

Amazing 🙌🏽
Welcome to born town Belgrade and Serbia!
You are georges artist! 💐
They both worship principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world, spiritual wickedness in high places! So they’re feeling a demonic power!
There was so much said here that no one seems to be picking up on.
is there more videos like that with other regular ppl?
Okay, Isn't it obvious what is happening here? Beauty, true beauty. I am not sure if this shattered my heart or healed it.
I cannot get over how handsome this man is.
JF is such a babe, a lovely gentle fella. I think he's great
she's like "thank god that's over, what a tool"
They're staring into each other's soul
Wow, he's so attractive
watch the documentary film! it's brilliant!
Marina clearly won the staring contest.
James... U and ur brother are MAGICAL...
It's a shame a lot of people here either doesn't know who Marina is, or cares. I mean James Franco is awesome, and even more awesome that he likes her, but the comments on Marina being creepy is just ... what?
i find her art quite interesting, but i need help understanding what she does and what this is about??

i would laugh hardly from the first second😂😂😂
this vid has so many views but no likes or dislikes
We are Doomed
Abishek Nephalion hahahahhahahahahahhaha
Sick sick sick!
This video made me laugh pretty hard! If I was in James' place the instant the women looked up at me I'd have smiled or something. Also LMAO @ the people watching them!
i couldn't imagine a pairing of 2 greater people!
Why is his hair light brown sometimes?? And sometimes black... i dont get it ,__, ! Please explain haha... does he dye his hair brown??

She's at work right now.
But most people came for James Franco, end of story.
Hahahahha
I of course mean the urge to laugh at intense moments. Laughter itself is freeing and wonderful!! Do not think I mean to condemn laughter.
Now he is also.What kind of art it is come on guys what happen to all of you.
James franco is Amazing!!!
pause at 0:09
enjoy =)
nicely put :)

"I'm so fucking high right now..."
well the woman's a performance artist, I guess the performance was that people could just come and sit with her, with her looking into your eyes and vica versa. but im only guessing.
*..and he was never quite the same again*
that so intense. coolest starring contest ever
aaa lo viste ...... solo en HBO
Her cakes were a big hit at the big parties, ask Amber. Perfect timeline. Check it for yourselves. His interview with her in 2009 is quite telling.
so many people in the comments just did not get this
@starsnrockets01 Oh please. There is all types of art.
Whose watching this in 2019 any one
Someone explain this to me please? :O is this some sort of staring contest? I'm confused xD
"modern art"
This reminds me of that Sex and The City episode with the woman in the art museum and the ladder made of knifes.....
This is beautiful. I love it!
What is the point of this?
Thanks for making me laugh through the video
Those grannies at the background, though.lol
This is pointless
Freddy Velez just as life is
Gui Esteves just as replying to a comment on a pointless video is
Freddy Velez exactly
Good shit indeed tho
lol
He was going to bring out emotions he didnt want to come out..thats why he left
He's so cute and handsome😍
wow!
i spent more of my time to read the comment .__.
Ditto😂🤦🏻♀️

Ignore them. I've seen this exact "discussion" in many videos. I mean, this exact discussion word by word. Maybe they are trolling, maybe they have some goal, but sure is copy paste.
