Damn, that’s really Channing Tatum doing a backflip at 6:00 . his character doesn’t ask for too much dramatic acting but psychically he looks like a directors dream.
I was amazed at the skills of the actors. Tatum is a really trained and good dancer! And that dismount from the horse by Ehrenreich is fantastic! The Coens are able to attract the A list of Hollywood to their pictures. They know they're in for a good time with them. Clooney looks like he's having a ball.
@@lumpyfishgravy He can indeed. And he's channeling Gene Kelly too. It's a shame they keep using actors/actresses who can barely sing and dance for musical adaptations (although to be honest, I don't like most of the newer musicals like Into the Woods or La la Land anyway). I wish there would have been a movie version of a good musical with performers like Tatum, maybe someone like Christina Aguilera in her prime. Weren't there plans back then of a dark Alice in Wonderland musical version with her?
I've watched scenes being shot a number of times and what impressed me most was just how tedious and time-consuming it can be. Aside from talent, it takes real stamina to endure it AND produce a convincing performance. I don't know how they do it! On the other hand, the part of film-making that I find engrossing and rather relaxing is editing, and that is a task a lot of people would find mind-numbing.
Stanley Kubrick said the fun was in the editing. He always re-edited large parts of the film after it was shown to studio executives and test audiences. That's what was troubling about Eyes Wide Shut. He never got a chance to re-edit after he gave the 'finished' film to the studio. He died four days later. Had he lived, there is no doubt he would have chopped the hell out of the film like he always does. It would have been a different film. He had 'final cut' which means the studio could not touch his movie. Some say there were some scenes they couldn't leave in and there was no choice but to 'remove' him. Then the studio could butcher his masterpiece any way they wanted. But that's speculation and we'll never know what really happened. I guess the actors know what scenes they filmed, but there's no reason for them to talk about it. RIP Stanley Kubrick.
It must be an absolute scream to edit Coen films. Once you hit that sweet spot that is so easy to find with great directors like this it's gotta bring down the house! Super glad to see another comedy from them.
I sat with a friend in the back room of Perry's restaurant in S.F. a few years ago. In the middle of the meal I realized the Cohen's were sitting to my right with what looked like relatives. I tell my friend to look to his left. His "ten o'clock".He tells me, "I can't. I can't move my head." Whattaya mean you can't move your head? "My neck. It's stuck." Well turn your whole torso. "No. I can't." He never saw them. Sitting about six feet away. Never believed me. You bet I took a pic.
Hey...that's my desk lamp...at 7:40. Be sure to watch Alden's horse dismount right around...9:57 or so. It's a thing of beauty. And wow...12:00. Amazing.
4:52 Wait... that makes no sense. He's on the left hand side of the piano, which is responsible for producing the lower notes, and his elbow hit that side but it produced high notes instead
I know this is way late but that sound is not coming from the piano. In the movie the sound is low, the sound in this is pumped onto set just for the actors to know that there will be sound there.
This is without any doubt their worst film. Have seen their other films ? Ofcourse its a good film if it wouldve been from someone else but this is below their standard.
Hail Caesar ! meets Christ and The Truth ? Hail the Coen Brothers for a movie that would that it were so simple, was in fact trippingly complex. The movie has many plots, and the most obvious is not seen, probably because of the trailers that misdirect us. Its a movie about people playing double parts, where the image and the reality is not real. The two twin sisters one good, one bad. The great cowboy actor who gets to play an aristocrat, the innocent swimmer who has been married three times, smoke like a fish...and on and on... What are my observations ? Its really about Eddie Manix, so religious and so Christian that he says his Rosary at his desk, and who has to go confession, every 20 hours. The production of Hail Caesar sees Eddie Manix to hold a meeting of the reps from the world religions, and the Jewish man really hates Christ. The communists are out to conquer Hollywood, and even a capitalist, and his hydrogen bomb tries to corrupt Eddie On and on...and the best is the last in the three minutes...the part before 'a truth we could see if we had but ...."Manix. Its suppose to be a presentation before the thief, but in fact its before Christ. Take another look... Caesar J. B. Squitti Author: "The LIGHT; The Rainbow of Truths..."
+PhamNet I never feel any Cohen movie but their work is no doubt stunning when it comes to the technical aspect. Watching the beautiful musical scenes on the big screen alone is probably worth it though. I wouldn't mind getting to see some of the 50s classics on the big screen again either.
+phangirlable The damn movie is simply gorgeous. Don't wait to watch on the monitor. Caught it yesterday. It's a pleasure. And I don't mind seeing Tilda Swinton looking this pretty. But Brolin's hair alone is worth the ticket. And check out the Asian bar. Freaking gorgeous.

IMHO one of top 3 Coen movies.
Very meta. The filming of the filming of a film :)
Or the filming of a film about filming.
@@TheSimCaptain Or the film about the filming of a film about the filming of films.
This is Hollywood film making at it's best. Two thumbs up! Way up.
A fascinating insight into the process of making films with some of the greatest living filmmakers.
i thougth the cariot scene was fakey. how is he going to jump from one chariot to another in full speed?
What's with your lame profile pic?
So much work to look so easy! Lovin on the Cohen Bros. films.
+Timothy Southerland Except their surname's spelled "Coen." But I agree on the lovin' bit.
Thanks AvalonMorley...my bad, autocorrect?...either way. Thanks.
Whaaaaat? I'm pretty impressed with Mr Tatum now.
no kidding
he should be thankful it wasn't kubrick directing.
Lad can sing

The Coens are a national treasure.
i love alden ehrenreich as hobie so much
I wasn’t that crazy about the movie the first time I saw it but it has aged well and has many fantastic scenes.
Nice footage :) It's so great to get a look of what's going on behind the camera. Did not break the spell for this magic film :)
why do you say it like that TWUUUUUUUURRR ...... LOL

They edit their films by themselves LOL!
Tell that to the 120 year old farmer called Roderick Jaynes, lol.

@@brendanhcarroll I think she's saying that anyone that knows pianos will still know that note wouldn't make sense
I really wanted to see todd hocheisers/jesus' face
Is Channing Tatum trained as a dancer, or he just learned all that on the go?
Making movies ain't such a bad gig is it?
The BEST!
Sad that there are some who trashed this movie. Wonder how they can chew their food when they have no taste.
This is without any doubt their worst film. Have seen their other films ? Ofcourse its a good film if it wouldve been from someone else but this is below their standard.
@@mator2339 nowhere near their worst
Victor Manure
+Louis Clark But nobody ever said that to his face....
just watch the movie , too bad I love the Cohen's Films , that one is a bit boring .
i enjooyed it as a 'student' if you will of good technical aspects of cinema..but i agree, not the most entertaining of coen movies

@@shimmeringfairydust3275 Me too. It’s weird that what it takes to be subversive these days is to make the hero of your film a pious Roman Catholic.
