  • When you’re offered the chance to sit down with Robert Duvall for almost twenty minutes, you clear your schedule. Which is exactly what I did at this year’s SXSW. Duvall was in Austin to promote his latest directorial effort, Wild Horses, which he also wrote. The film stars Duvall, James Franco, Josh Hartnett, Luciana Duvall, and Adriana Barraza and it’s about a Texas Ranger that puts her life in jeopardy when she tries to prove a powerful family's involvement in a boy's 15-year-old disappearance and murder.
    Texas Ranger Samantha Payne reopens a 15-year-old missing person case, and uncovers evidence that suggests that the boy was likely murdered on a ranch belonging to wealthy family man, Scott Briggs. When Scott’s estranged son unexpectedly returns home during the investigation, Samantha becomes even more convinced that the Briggs family was involved, and will stop at nothing to discover the truth about the boy’s death - even putting her own life in jeopardy.
    During the extended video interview, Duvall talked about making Wild Horses, where the idea came from, the editing process and the lengths of the different cuts of the film, casting the film, the drawbacks of doing too many takes, his dislike for The Searchers, Terry Gilliam’s Don Quixote, his admiration for Orson Welles, Lonesome Dove, a Western based on The Day The Cowboys Quit which will appear on AMC as a mini-series, and so much more.
    Robert Duvall:
    00:22: Whether SXSW was the festival he and the filmmakers were aiming for to premiere Wild Horses.

    05:06: Discusses the projects he has chosen to direct.
    05:30: Talks about the help and admiration he received from filmmakers such as John Cassavetes, Francis Ford Coppola, and Marlon Brando.
    06:34: Why he wanted his wife, Luciana Pedraza, to play a Texas Ranger in Wild Horses.
    07:17: Advice he would give to himself when he was starting as a young actor/director.
    07:45: How the film Kes inspired him and provided the model he wanted to use when directing.
    08:37: What his reactions are to the rise of shooting digital instead of on film.
    08:55: “I don’t care if you’re shooting with a video, as long as I get the behavior.”
    09:25: “Rehearsals are for pussies, two takes.” - Billy Bob Thornton
    09:40: The drawbacks of doing too many takes.
    10:30: Why he prefers to do just a few takes.
    11:35: Which projects people talk to him about most when they come up to him.
    11:51: “Boys, we are making The Godfather of Westerns” - with regards to Lonesome Dove.

    16:53: Talks about how hard it is to get projects off the ground.

    Duvall as Augustus McCrae in Lonesome Dove was one of the greatest character portrayals of all time! Lonesome Dove is absolutely in my opinion the greatness western movie/series ever made; splendid behavior, splendid series.

    Weird that the presenter ended this in under 20 minutes. A few years ago, while having coffee with a couple of friends, Duval was waiting outside a Starbucks rather early on a Sunday morning. This was outside on their veranda... I said to him "We'll pretend we don't know who you are if you would like to come and sit with us." He came over and sat down. What a nice man. None of us talked about movies, and he didn't talk at all about himself. We talked about ghost towns we knew in New Mexico, and nice places in general. We later figured out that he was looking for locations to shoot in. He stayed with us for about 45 minutes. One of the most interesting conversations I have had. Duval is a genuinely good fellow. As he left, I broke the rule slightly by thanking him for all his great performances. He smiled and just said "Thank you." Then he got into a big black Suburban and rode off into the morning. I haven't been all that impressed with most of the actors I have met in my long life. Robert Duval though - there's a man!

      Yes, he and Tommy Lee Jones, we're able to pull out their best by acting opposite each other. Duvall was the perfect foil to Jones's straight man, so to speak. 🙂💕.
      " You're one of a kind Gus," Call said sighing. "We'll all miss you"
      "Even you Woodrow?" Augustus asked.
      " Yes, me," Call said.
      Even at the end Gus is managing to make Call admit something.
      What a irritating character/friend Gus is.🤗😍💕👍🏽

    Lonesome Dove was my favorite ! Part 3 to be sure. Never saw an actor sit a horse better than Robert Duvall !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ever !!!!!! When he came trotting out of that barn at Claire's ranch when it was time for him to leave, says it all ; that & when they show him riding off right after that, in the distance; and how straight and relaxed he sat that horse.
    Well done sir !

      @captainmarvel2058 ปีที่แล้ว

      Have to disagree with you there. He didn't like The Searchers, considered to be one of the greatest westerns of all time. I think it comes down to his dislike of Duke Wayne. There was a well publicized arguement between them when Wayne was an old man while filming True Grit.

      You have “westerns”, and then you have a cinematic work of art focused on the American West. I’ve never watched more than a few minutes of a western without rolling my eyes. I could watch Lonesome Dove every day. I wish it was twice as long.

    • @spencer10182
      @spencer10182 ปีที่แล้ว

      I was not a Western fan until I saw Lonesome Dove. My grandpa told me about it and I was against it at first because it was 6 hours and I wasnt a Western fan but I had an extended summer break for a week from school and it was streaming on Netflix and I decided to try it, and I was hooked. Amazing acting, cinematography, writing everything. I was just hooked. I then loved other Westerns such as the Spaghetti Westerns, Unforgiven, High Plains Drifter and more. I have to watch Lonesome Dove once a year. It is that good. I own it on Blu Ray and it looks absolutely amazing.

    @actorstuntman 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I was able to tell Robert Duvall in person that "I loved him in Lonesome Dove. And that it is my favorite movie". He told me "It is his favorite movie too." While we were working in a movie together. I had also been in a mini -series with 3 of the other cast members from Lonesome Dove that Won 4 of the 7 Emmy's it was nominated for. Still some of the best memories in 45 films. I've only been in awe of an actor twice, Robert Duvall, and George Clooney in Out Of Sight. Although I've lost track of the number of big stars I've had the fortune to work with ,those were the only two I was in awe of.

    Gush! I had him in a Spanish conversation! I did not know who he was at that time. A gentleman. His Spanish is pretty good. He asked me who was my favorite writer, and I answered Edgar Allan Poe, and he immediatly started to recite THE RAVEN by heart… I was impressed by his accents.

  • @antonnym214

    I loved him in The Apostle. My cousin, Farrah Fawcett was in that with him. I think that's the last major film I saw her in, personally. What great acting and directing in that one. Wow. The cast was perfect. Billy Bob Thornton was great in that, too. He always is.

    Personally, I can't think of a film this man hasn't done an amazing job in, he doesn't make "bad movies." To Kill a Mockingbird, The Godfather, Days of Thunder, Lonesome Dove, Assassination Tango, Open Range, Gone in 60 Seconds, Broken Trail, Secondhand Lions, I could go on. Lonesome Dove will ALWAYS be my top pick, but I think he's "just got it." Not only that, but he's not one of those actors whose all about the money & fame or has let it go to his head. He's a normal human being who likes to make good movies, some one you could sit down, and have a cup of coffee with, chat about whats going on in the world today, his favorite foods/movies/music, etc. I'd love to be able to do that if given the opportunity. Thank you Mr. Duvall for who you are and what you do!!

    Dearest Robert Duvall
    I had the great honor of seeing your first directing project with the Nebraska family. I loved the title "We're
    Not the Jet Set." The young man that you documented could not believe that I did not know who you were. I never had time to go
    to the movies. A few years after I viewed it, I broke my leg and went through Steven King medical Hell. During my recovery, I got to get caught up on movies. I fell in love with *Lonesome Dove* My next door neighbor, at the time, was Yakima Canutt's son. I told him how much that movie touched my heart and soul. He sent me to the library to get "The Goodnight Loving Trail" a book by Ralph Compton. Hungry to learn more, I found "Charles Goodnight Cowman and Plainsman" by J Evetts Haley.
    When I was in Texas, I had the honor and privilege to sit at the campfire with Oliver Loving's great-grandson. He told me about
    Bose Ichard, and the implicit trust that Charlie Goodnight and Bose carried through a lifetime with his business and personal dealings. I think maybe Bruce Springsteen and Clarence Clemmons might have had that type of trust.
    "Lonesome Dove" made my stay in Texas more real than I ever dreamed. The first time I saw the Trinity River I felt a little awestruck. Just knowing that those people and the Comanche's once claimed that territory as home gave me a whole new respect for The West.
    I believe that somewhere in the shooting of that movie, Charlie Goodnight and Oliver Lovings spirits were approvingly looking on.

  • @tonym994

    I couldn't possibly name every great film he was in ,but he never got too big for a cameo or small role. the CONVERSATION, SLING BLADE,and his more recent stuff like OPEN RANGE (I'm gonna kill you, Baxter you sonofabitch!) and BROKEN TRAIL were outstanding westerns and generally as good as any of his work .

    Robert Duvall looks great! Really, I would be surprised to find that he drinks, smokes, or drugs. He has the looks and manners of a disciplined, intelligent man, and friendly.

Please next time find a quiet spot without all the traffic and noise in the background to interview someone. And never cut the interview off until the interviewee says that he is done!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @CatherineSTodd
    @CatherineSTodd 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've always wondered why those two chose NOT to make any of the other related Lonesome Dove films. I'm sure they would have been terrific, and everyone in the original Lonesome Dove film would have been pleased and proud to continue on in those stories, both before and after. Anyone know why Jones & Duvall didn't do it?

  • @guyveloz4382
    @guyveloz4382 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Oh how I loved "Lonesome Dove" and yet, my lord, how I immensely loved "The Searchers" as well, and I am so surprised that Duvall hated it. Sort of a shock to me, yet there is no accounting for such surprises, I guess. I actually have read the novel, "The Searchers" by Alan LeMay three times, and must say that the film is infinitely better, little touches of comic relief here and there by the fabulous John Ford, whereas the novel is so relentlessly grim it almost hurts to read it, despite its greatness otherwise. "Lonesome Dove" is also very rich in comic relief, which I feel was needed, what with some of the nastiest, scariest villains ever filmed, such Blue Duck, the nearly bullet proof half breed Comanchero, a more modern manifestation and reflection of "The Searchers" war chief, Scar, of the Wayanokee Comanches

    @tomsampson8084 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I kind of agree with Duvall on the Searchers. I only wish they had spent more time talking about it so I would know all of his thoughts on that movie. I am in my '60's and grew up loving westerns and almost all John Wayne films. One of the things I have come to dislike about those westerns from back then is that they were morality plays predicated on the idea of an absolute line between right and wrong. As we get older, and hopefully smarter, it should become clear that there is a lot of gray area between absolutes. Westerns are comfortable and I still enjoy them. But they are fiction.

  • @CaptnCall
    @CaptnCall 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    He will always be Gus McCrae to me. His best line in the movie was when he smashed the bartenders face on the bar and said "I've no patience for a surly bartender" I probably didn't get the quote exactly right, but something to that effect. Also I found out that his character was based somewhat on the life of Oliver Loving, a Texas cattleman. The part where Gus and Pee Eye are attacked by Comanches and Gus gets an arrow in the leg that eventually kills him, was exactly what happened to Oliver Loving except he was shot in the wrist and died because his arm wasn't amputated before the gangrene spread. Woodrow Call's best line was "I won't tolerate rude behavior". After he took a branding iron to the army scout that commandeered Newt's horse.

      Duvall also mentions "Empire of the Summer Moon" about the woman who was captured by the Comanches, married to the chief, had two sons and a daughter, and captured and brought back to the white folks after living her entire life with the Indians. Duvall says he did not like the film "The Searchers" about this story, but to read "Empire of the Summer Moon" written by a true Texas historian.
