Although the picture has a bleak outlook on life, I agree with Jones' observation that despite the vagaries of greed and violence, there is hope for a better world.
Like many great realistic movies and tv shows... NCFOM just leaves you feeling stunned at the dichotomies of human life. The good and the bad, the yin and the yang, yadda yadda... It's all too much to handle if you think about it too hard and too deep for too long, which is why we usually... don't! Just to make it through our day to day lives.
Unfortunately I've never read the novel but somehow it'd never even occurred to me to consider how the offscreen death was handled in the book until that woman asked that question. I have always gotten a feeling the book goes into more detail about some of the characters though, and wondered if there's more backstory to characters like Stephen Root's character and "did you see me" guy, as well as Woody Harrelson's character. I was not aware that "I got beer" lady was one that is more fleshed out. It sounds like that was eliminated for the better, had we seen Llewellyn confident and relaxed and almost prematurely celebrating a win it would have ruined his surprise death, we'd have all seen it coming.
Most late night talk shows do a rehearsal / pre-interview where the host and the guest go over what they're gonna talk about. Ideally, the guest is controlling most of the decisions, but not always. Also, whatever the reason the guest is there (usually a movie, tv show, music concert, book, etc.) has some impact on what's discussed. Movie studios want their movie to be promoted, that's the whole idea. But yeah, it sucks if the interviewer/host isn't so good at being convincing the second (or third) time around. Also, the guest has a part to play as well, communication is a two-way street, even when it's semi-faked. The best late night talk show hosts make it look as good as possible (which still isn't perfect, ofc). Personally, I've always been a fan of Letterman, Conan, and Craig Ferguson, though not chiefly because of their interviewing styles/abilities. I just like their senses of humor, personalities, and the bits/monologues they do... that's why I watch late night talk shows. Not for the actual talk show part. ;D
I mean... I woulda been, too! ;D At the time, he was probably mostly used to working with Wes Anderson. Who I love with a passion, but he's not as intimidating as the Coens and those actors (just imo).
A masterful film but it was only tommy lee jones who took this conference and the book seriously..The interviewer never addressed him but his answer at the end and performance were the heart of the film as well as the book..
The Coen Brothers don't make movies based on books they don't take seriously. It takes months of hard work to make a good movie. Hell, to make a bad movie, even.
This is a very gun specific observation. Ed-Tom carries his 1911 (presumably in 45 ACP) in condition 2- Loaded chamber, hammer down. Not condition 1, loaded chamber, hammer "cocked and locked." It is a less prepared and slower to shoot choice.
It's a good question, OP. Seems like they either did it (or rather didn't do it) for the lulz. Which is kinda sad... OR... they both really were speechless and didn't know what to add. Maybe someone offscreen was telling everyone to wrap it up shortly as they needed the stage for another panel? Who knows.
Everyone criticizing this clip needs to realize these types of panel Q&As are just painful to be a part of and are done purely as a favor to the festival or presenter of the film and the audience. The filmmakers and actors are actually being really cool and generous with the whole thing.
Yep. And they might be paid to take part, but they probably don't get paid enough for the hassle/trouble involved (hence many actors / directors / writers / producers doing autograph lines at conventions to make the real money).
That's Noah Baumbach you guys are talking about, btw. He's a film writer, not really a trained host/interviewer. But you may know him from movies like Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004), Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009), both co-written by him with Wes Anderson. Or more recently, Barbie (2023), co-written by him with Greta Gerwig. Or a dozen others he's helped make.
Pundits ! Words words words - and there are 20 million refugees out there and 6 million of them are starving. Come on guys, Stop talking about yourselves and do something to help other people. ‘Wilson get someone to help this man; he needs to get into town’.
I can't resist... While your first comment was about where the Coen Brothers went to school, Noah Baumbach (the host) went to Vassar. inb4 Lisa Simpson's (in)famous joke. ;) th-cam.com/video/6WTyCqys89w/w-d-xo.html
This film needs remastered in 4K Blu Ray.
Wonderful movie and cast
Thanks for sharing this
19:30 Haha that reaction was so funny
When Tommy lee takes over I got chills
It's a masterpiece

at least for within yourself

14:08 the question about the hard Left turn in act 3 gets a incredible response
She needs to stick to Murder She Wrote

The most real interview I have ever seen, convinces me all late night interviews are at the least rehearsed if not outright scripted.

Man wtf why did the directors not help Javier. I felt so bad for him and he looked embarrassed after he tried to talk
Baumbach seems a bit nervous in this interview.
I mean... I woulda been, too! ;D At the time, he was probably mostly used to working with Wes Anderson. Who I love with a passion, but he's not as intimidating as the Coens and those actors (just imo).
@@gfox9295 Good point.

The movie ended with Sheriff wisdom the interview ended with tlj wisdom
Damn straight. TLJ ftfw!
Joah has a great sense of humor. I remember a cast interview for Sicario he did too
Bruh why did the directors just ignore Javier asking for help
The brothers are notorious for this... They don't talk a lot.
From what I understand , from other interviews that Javier and Josh have done, the Coens did this continuously on set during the filming of the movie.
Yes agreed

Josh Brolin wanted to be More bad than chigur and was Thanos.
This sounds like a stand up comedy show with these mindless NPC audience laughing at nothing. Sounds like a episode of Friends.
Please give us an interviewer who does not stumble on every word . . .
Yep..He was a pain in the butt..

Get away from him he still got the gun 💀

the writing was outstanding
the cast was better
film making was beyond compare
Coen Brothers
sort of..sortof...sort of....where did these fools go to school....
Princeton and NYU.
That just like, your opinion… man.
Definitely not the one you go. That's why they're world famous brilliant filmmakers
I can't resist... While your first comment was about where the Coen Brothers went to school, Noah Baumbach (the host) went to Vassar.
