I am 63, the same age Diana was when she accomplished this! I hadn't been able to swim since my brother suicided 1 yr and a half ago, I was devastated. The day after watching this inspirational, edge-of-your-seat, suspense movie, I went to the local pool and signed up! Thank you all 4 for your incredible strength and love.❤
This is really beautiful. I'm so sorry sweetheart. I host a Depression Support Group and even with the support, it really is a disease. I pray you find peace again. I am grieving the loss of my mother from cancer last month. You are not alone ! Much love
Such a joy to see these Hollywood stars appearing as REAL women. Well done Ladies! So inspirational. I hope this is the beginning of a new movement in movie making. Thank you!
I read that Annette Benning was a lifeguard when she was young so that's genius casting. And of course, Jodie can do no wrong. I had never heard of Diana Nyad so I enjoyed the film just for them bringing her story to life.
I love that they all get to interview each other. The platonic dynamic they have in the film is so full of support and love. It had some fantastic scenes.
You don’t know what people have/haven’t had done. They are beautiful and what an odd thing to bring up in a moment that was so much more than appearances.
I did not know about the story of Diana Nyad, brilliant! I admit I watched the movie because of Jodie Foster, who has already won all sorts of awards and can now relax and do her best work. But I really fell in love with the story, the amazing Diana, the friendship with Bonnie(basically the best friend in the world). And Annette Bening, wow, what a great surprise. The story deserves more than an Oscar, the power of Diana's spirit is otherworldly, she is herself at all costs, and that's why she never cared of the limitations imposed by the times or the people or the package of standards and rules about gender, age or romantic preferences. This movie shows how much work there is behind every failure and every success, the sweat and pain and tears, and the things you give up or lose on the way, to become good enough to bend the rules of the world.
Diana seems like such a chill person who basically gives zero fucks about what anybody thinks or who stands in her way when trying to accomplish a life goal-love it!
I agree with you 100% I loved the movie! So well portrayed and a story well told. Great performances! I saw the interview of Diana with Oprah and something that stuck with me since then is her mantra “Find a way” I use it in my daily life and have taught my sons to use it as their mantra too.
And when Diana says “…chase big dreams and have the courage to fail…” wow! It really does take courage to fail and more courage to get up and keep going!
This is one of the best films I've ever seen. Thank you to the four of these women for showing that there are no boundary's to what you can do. No age limit. I was touched by the friendship of these two women and the years of hanging in there. I would say this film is Oscar worthy.
An awesome and inspiring movie. Annette and Jodie really were the only two who could play their parts. Diana Nyad and Bonnie Stoll made a difference to a lot of older women, including me.
@@alexd1121she's not gonna win the competition is extremely tough this year Lilly Gladstone from Killers of the flower moon is gonna give her a tough competition, EMILY BLUNT in Oppenheimer is the current front runner for the Oscar Annette is unfortunately way down the list
@@Nishanth_mementomori that would be extremely unfortunate. Of course the Oscars rarely get it right considering how they never gave Oscars to Hitchcock, Chaplin, Kubrick and gave awards more than once to winners that don’t stand the test of time. Neither Lily Gladstone (who owes the hype of her performance and nomination mainly to her ethnicity and physical appearance and to the director) nor Emily Blunt’s performance which is fine but doesn’t hold a candle to the tour de force of Annette Bening’s performance should win. If you haven’t seen Nyad I couldn’t recommend it more. Her performance is just mind boggling and more so if you really know how far it is from her natural hyper feminine nature. Just brilliant. And that’s also regardless of the fact that she’s the oldest nominee which granted shouldn’t be an issue.
excellent movie and thank you for this sit down discussion. Annette and Jodie are two of the finest actors, writers and directors in the industry. BRAVO
Incredible! Just watching them after the movie and it's like seeing them in double. It has an immense impact about delivering a memoir into our present moment by the power of film,script,actors... Also I must say,it'll always stay in a special place of reach when I lose the hope or motivation... They are all individuals without any tags and NYAD is a great example of a film about telling a life long journey by women with women... Top notch performances and seeing such a lovely communication they have over curiosity and joy... I wish I could be on that table with them all
Such a treat to see this conversation. The story is amazing and when I saw that a movie as coming out about it I was honestly a little scared. Maybe it would not be able to convey the amazingness? But when I saw it I was so pleased. Such a great performance of all parties involved.
I love the way the movie showed, and honored, the people who worked on Nyad's team. A lot of people give up their time and money to chase a dream. Like Benning says at the end, one person does not accomplish this alone; it takes a team. Maybe the heart of a great movie.
I haven't seen the movie. I'm in awe of the gratitude that everyone sitting at the table has for each other. Sure actors act but there's something more happening here. Maybe it's the best of humanity that we are seeing & feeling. I can't wait to see the film❤
Beautiful, heart warming, authentic, have the courage to fail and keep on failing until you succeed, you gain from every failure, discover and learn, who you want to be and how you want to live, this film really has an incredible impact, touched me deeply, thank you❤
Diana spoke at our corporate conference recently. So inspiring.. lots of chills and tears, and that never happens! Excited to watch the film, with two of my favourite actors.
This movie was AMAZING!!! I was crying when Nyad was walking out of water cheering her on, you feel a part of it. Always loved Annette Benning and Jodie Foster they are just pure talent. It was played so well. And wow what amazing women, Diana and Bonnie ❤️ so inspiring
I really enjoyed this movie. The amount of heartache and pain this woman went through to break that record was amazing. Annette and Jodie and all involved did a wonderful job. BRAVO to all of you.
I loved this film!! Annette & Jodi are phenomenal actors and really gave an award winning performance!! I was thinking of getting rid of my Netflix subscription, saw this movie and changed my mind 😊.
Four very strong women, each of them an amazing talent in their own unique way and each have accomplished so much, what an inspiration! The barriers and obstacles they have all overcome and then to come together to recognize and honor such an epic achievement. Very empowering. I love it! Bravo!
So cool to see this interview. Huge fan of Jodie and her career - she always picks interesting films. Saw this, loved it. Worth a look if you haven’t seen!
I admire NYAD and Bonnie! How do u achieve it? That kind of stories should be told … thanks for this film. I don’t like the culture of overestimating actors but this two did a good job. In the end of the day, the story about human nature and determination is unreal ! It’s absolutely the most beautiful film of this year… no killing, no production of atomic bombs, just pure inspiration for all of us. NYAD & team you are champs!
Nailed it. It was my favorite movie of the year. Jodie and Annette to me both deserve best actress. If you watch movies one after another. Oppen/Barbie/Nyad. Nyad Jodie and Annette acting stood out the most to me. The other movies stood out for different reasons to me.
I regret that I didn’t know about Diane Anya’s until I saw this movie. I’m making sure my kids know about her. She is an inspiring force of nature. I am in awe of all 4 of these incredible women. (And don’t we all wish we could hang out with them at those barbecues?!?!)
That "stop it!'"directed at Jodie ...I have never heard "stop it!" sound more like "continue!" "in my life...yet it did not sound obnoxious...thus proving Jodie's words instantly
It's so interesting watching totally different types of people discussing actors playing the part of the super athlete with nerves of steel to swim that distance in shark infested water. The Actors dont have a movie about them, even though I like them but they arent the person the movie is about. NYAD is a legend of our time.
Fantastic! I also live that Jodie and Annette are so authentic- aging gracefully and they are so beautiful without facelifts- they are showing young women how to age Beautifully!!!!
Out of all the contenders for Oscars this year, I have to say that Anette and Jodi did such a great job. I really love Jodi! She’s my fav. Her role in Contact just speaks to me! So if I could have my way in the Oscars, I have to say Danielle Brooks in the color Purple. She gave her all. And Anette gave her all. So I hope for those two to win. I’d be happy if Jodi wins too, don’t get me wrong. I love her! I dunno what’s gonna happen but I’m gripped and I’m going to be rooting for these women! ❤
NYAD is the best film of '23! It moved me beyond words. I'm certain NYAD is for everyone however it is especially powerful for survivors of sexual assault. I am a 3x survivor and I didn't know this about Diana until I saw the film; I feel so close to this story and I love these 4 women so much.
Annette acting leaves such an impression of Diana in your mind and heart like Angela Bassett in the movie playing Tina Turner also hats off to J Foster great great performances i truly believe hard work is the reality of making the impossible possible that is the take away i got from the movie the lions attitude never never give up
This, to me, just feels soooo inspiring! Come on! Are you kidding me? Jodi and Anette, hanging with Diana and Bonnie? This is amazing. These women are about to reach the top of their game, all of them, and we get to see it! ❤ This movie was so important! I watched Barbie too and those actors did a great job, but stories like this, actually speak to the real and true spirit of what it means to be a human, throw that idea away, and discover what it means and takes to be more! What a fantastic story! 😢❤ I know Jodie and Anette were both nominated and I hope they win. They deserve it, and also the world deserves it. I say that because this is real life and real human spirit, not superficial, not glamour, this movie represents what it actually takes to be great. I just feel that this should be marked as one of the most important films of our lifetime. Diana, someone who had a dream, and lived with not finding it in her late 20s, found it in her 60s! She is an inspiration to not just women, but everyone! ❤ I love this movie so much! I’m so happy that stories like this get told! We need so many more stories like this! ❤️
I am 63, the same age Diana was when she accomplished this! I hadn't been able to swim since my brother suicided 1 yr and a half ago, I was devastated.

That is so powerful and beautiful
That's beautiful--may the waves be your solace and feed your strength
This is really beautiful. I'm so sorry sweetheart. I host a Depression Support Group and even with the support, it really is a disease. I pray you find peace again. I am grieving the loss of my mother from cancer last month. You are not alone ! Much love
❤❤❤
I can’t imagine any actor more deserving of an Oscar than Annette Bening in this role.
I totally agree!
10000% agree. Annette Bening is sooooo good and put so much effort in this movie! How is she not nominated in the critics awards???
@@jensenwong1 8l80😅😊0😊😅⁹oo
. Agreed.
AGREE 100 PERCENT
Such a joy to see these Hollywood stars appearing as REAL women. Well done Ladies! So inspirational. I hope this is the beginning of a new movement in movie making. Thank you!
I tried, but couldn't express it better.
"We weren't aware of limitations. We just do what we do." I love that and everyone should be more this way.
I read that Annette Benning was a lifeguard when she was young so that's genius casting. And of course, Jodie can do no wrong. I had never heard of Diana Nyad so I enjoyed the film just for them bringing her story to life.
Jodie is my fav.
Annette deserves that Oscar ! She was robbed so many times before
I love that they all get to interview each other. The platonic dynamic they have in the film is so full of support and love. It had some fantastic scenes.
Wow that was an amazing film and awesome performances! ❤️
I love this movie and I love these 4 beautiful women aging gracefully without plastic surgery. Thank you!
❤I totally agree! The natural beauty is wonderful to see! They look amazing.
Isn't it sad how many of us feel we have to say that? It's such a big problem and distraction that just shouldn't be.
@@briarrose7016 agree 100%. It’s a sad problem.
So nice to see these beautiful, powerful women without a trace of botox, sharing their wisdom and being genuine 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✨✨✨

one of the best stories and movies I have seen this year, excellent performances and excellent message, never giving up ❤👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I agree with you 100% I loved the movie! So well portrayed and a story well told. Great performances! I saw the interview of Diana with Oprah and something that stuck with me since then is her mantra “Find a way” I use it in my daily life and have taught my sons to use it as their mantra too.

I am here for Jodie❤️👏🏿💯
Mission Impossible and this movie was my top for year
I want to HANG with these four women. Love, love, love all the way around. What a performance of an amazing story and partnership.
This is one of the best films I've ever seen. Thank you to the four of these women for showing that there are no boundary's to what you can do. No age limit. I was touched by the friendship of these two women and the years of hanging in there. I would say this film is Oscar worthy.
These woman talking to each other is everything I didn’t know I needed.
Thank you for sharing this conversation. The movie, the actors and the real life Diana and Bonnie are all amazing. Loved the movie, and the story.
An awesome and inspiring movie. Annette and Jodie really were the only two who could play their parts. Diana Nyad and Bonnie Stoll made a difference to a lot of older women, including me.
This entire interview proved that both actresses nailed their roles. Two brilliant women portrayed by two other brilliant women.
Fantastic performances, all around! entire cast gave compelling, soulful performances! Thank you! We needed this movie.
Foster and Benning...ICONS!
Loved Nyad, although seems highly unlikely but i hope Jodie and Annette get oscar nominations
Why is it unlikely? Annette Bening has to not only be nominated but she needs to win. Her performance is absolutely incredible by all means.
they got nominated for the golden globe!!
@@alexd1121she's not gonna win the competition is extremely tough this year Lilly Gladstone from Killers of the flower moon is gonna give her a tough competition, EMILY BLUNT in Oppenheimer is the current front runner for the Oscar

Oh what a treat!!! I simply adore Jodie Foster and Annette Bening, so so wundebar!!!
Jodie looks beautiful here. Natural all the way. So does Annette, what great ambassadors of film these two greats are.
Marvelous movie and Oscar worthy performances from Jodie and Annette. Bravo!
So cool Jodie knew them from parties! I don’t know why it does, I just know it tickles me to hear that! 3:34
Annette Benign has to win the Oscar for this. Amazing performance all the effort and work was outstanding
Amazing portrayal of 2 amazing people by 2 amazing people. Loved it!
excellent movie and thank you for this sit down discussion. Annette and Jodie are two of the finest actors, writers and directors in the industry. BRAVO

I love the way the movie showed, and honored, the people who worked on Nyad's team. A lot of people give up their time and money to chase a dream. Like Benning says at the end, one person does not accomplish this alone; it takes a team. Maybe the heart of a great movie.
So far my favorite film of 2023.
I haven't seen the movie. I'm in awe of the gratitude that everyone sitting at the table has for each other. Sure actors act but there's something more happening here. Maybe it's the best of humanity that we are seeing & feeling. I can't wait to see the film❤
To me, this was Annette’s best performance of all time. She truly embodied Diane Nyad and I’m so glad I pressed play.
Scoot over, top 5. We got a new favorite of all time. Supreme focus and dedication result in such a phenomenal and powerful movie
Such authenticity here- love everyone at this table! Amazing movie, incredible story.
Annette Bening did a very good job in this film. Both the actresses, but Annette was very incredible.
Great to see this story reaching so many people and smashing those stereotypes! Never say never 💪🏆
Beautiful, heart warming, authentic, have the courage to fail and keep on failing until you succeed, you gain from every failure, discover and learn, who you want to be and how you want to live, this film really has an incredible impact, touched me deeply, thank you❤
Jodie is a treasure. I'm thrilled to see her so happy with her wfe and boys. She deserves it. I respect her so much.
She might be the most respected actor/director of the history of Hollywood.
Foster! Bening! So much talent!
I keep telling everyone I know to watch this film...inspirational, awesome women, all four of them
Well done, Jodie and Annette! Well done. Bless you both for your beautiful hearts.
Diana spoke at our corporate conference recently. So inspiring.. lots of chills and tears, and that never happens! Excited to watch the film, with two of my favourite actors.
I would love to have Ms. Nyad’s openwater playlist. I’m always looking for songs with the right stroke rhythm. Great movie!
Great movie ! Excellent acting from two of Hollywood's greatest veterans Jodie Foster & Annette Bening !
I think Jodie said it best on explaining how actors/actresses do what they do and, how they do it. 👏🏻 very gifted ladies with amazing talent.
the movie is just incredible. first time I watched it 3 times in a row. so comforting in an unusual way. such a great job well done.
This is an amazing portrayal of an incredible athlete and team. Please Hollywood, make more movies like this.
Two of my favorite actors in life
Kudos to both ladies for choosing to age gracefully!
Absolutely wonderful to see how it all pans out organically through the end product. Well done to all involved in this successful movie.
I 👍 agree she definitely deserves an Oscar 🌟🎬🌟!!!
Fantastic performance! 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯👌👌👏👏👏👏👏👏
Annette's best performance ever I think, superb!!! Jodie is always good in everything ❤
4 amazing iconic women that is a total inspiration for me so proud to know they exist❤
Great woman, great movie! And of Annette Bening, congrats on securing an Oscar. It's an obvious win.
That movie was so inspiring!
I hope Annette wins Oscar!
OMG... too much superstar shine coming off this video!! Love this

😂

I read Diane Nyad’s autobiography about her swimming years ago, and I was so hyped to see it made into a movie!
