My videography professor showed us this film in school. It was a brilliant example used to teach the minimalist approach to filmmaking and how if you can do that, you can do anything with a camera.
1. "Do you know my mother"?! 2. "Steve"! - "Steven"!!! 3. "Very good, I don't understand nothing, yes"! 4. The way he smells Roberto's cup of coffee after he leaves is priceless! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jim Jarmush was smoking weed one night, when a thought came to visit his head: What would happen if I put Steven Wright and Roberto Benigni in a room together? Hmm... let's see.
For some, yes. For others, they go more for the mainstream BS that they try to cram down everyone's throat and actually convince enough of the congenitally lobotomized that it is good and they are happy with it. It's all a matter of taste, I guess, but I don't understand nothing!
I have seen better acting in high school plays. Steven Wright is already playing a role, his persona. Steven Wright doesn't smoke, and it shows. Steven Wright is not an actor. I have seen children fake-sicking to avoid school achieve more realistic faux symptoms than Roberto Benigni's hand tremors. That addresses the on-screen elements, let's talk director. Sound was poor, staging was poor, framing was weak. No music, no ambient sounds. No narrative. This is the Q-anon of film. Ambiguous and meaningless while pretending to be something deep. Garbage.
'Yes - very good, I don't understand nothing' - rofl. One of my fav sketches of all time.
This is by far the most emotion I've seen Steven Wright exhibit ever.
"very good, i don't understanding nothing, yes"
That part always killing me xD
i always laugh at "DO YOU KNOW MY MOTHER??" - out of nowhere, hilarious
"Steve I am free...very free." hahaha

2 geniuses
1. "Do you know my mother"?!
2. "Steve"! - "Steven"!!!
3. "Very good, I don't understand nothing, yes"!
4. The way he smells Roberto's cup of coffee after he leaves is priceless! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Next time I don't want to go to the dentist and also don't want to pay the cancellation fee, I'm going to call my favorite Italian actor.
''do you know my mother?'' questa gag mi fa morire
"Nice to meet you too, in a way"
this is pure gold :d :D :D :D
"dream, after dream, after dream, after dream."
Do you know my mother!?
Génial !!
People who don't get this have never sat down for coffee awkwardly trying to get a conversation going lmao
Mixing two polar-fuckin-opposites like this is just fuckin brilliant 😂 God I love this film
They are polar opposites! I get it! Dude is full of life and Wright is barely sentient 😂
Life is Beautiful is brilliant
Very good .. I don't understand nothing.
☕
I love both of these humans. All three if we include Jim Jarmusch.
I wonder if the dentist noticed anything strange

there's two guys who make krammer look like he's having a goodhairday!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
I don't have time to tell you these things.
I didn’t get it but I love them both it was a perfect meeting in Italy, I just want to see the 60 Euro bill for nothing.
I don't have time to tell you this
Steve no Steven
how is wright looking like 1984?
This was filmed in 1986. Even though the movie wasn't released until almost 20 years later.
My classmates and i recreated this scene for film class: th-cam.com/video/vw7VZ8iAgPQ/w-d-xo.html
Benigni much better actor
I was waiting for Roberto to say "discombobulate"..I am disappointed...
so this is supposed to be good?
panocasabe don't watch it....so you don't need to wonder it.
For some, yes.
For others, they go more for the mainstream BS that they try to cram down everyone's throat and actually convince enough of the congenitally lobotomized that it is good and they are happy with it.

Go back to infinity wars
stick to your superhero marvel movies bro
it's amazing
This isn't as good as I remembered. It hasn't aged well.
Oh hell, I suppose they got paid for that.

This movie is perfect for laying back with a bottle of whiskey after a long day of work.
I've seen the same scene. It's f...g awesome.
Waste of time.
Thanks God you got out when you did.
That is exactly what Jarmusch is telling us in this scene.
