I love the way Rachel looks at Jane when she's speaking.

Admiration

[@nightowl5475]

I thought it was a great movie. When I saw the movie, I honestly didn’t know the character of the aging diva was Jane Fonda until I wondered into this clip. The movie basically dealt with the Michael Caine and Harvey Keitel characters and aging with all of the memories and regrets. The shooting of the movie was at a resort during off season, which brought a sense of sadness and built on to the story. It kinda makes one think of what growing older is all about. I especially like Harvey Keitel’s line in the movie about aging. The scene is between Keitel and a young kid outside on the deck of the resort and Keitel is looking through a long binocular tube. He says to the kid, the difference between youth and old age is, looking into the long binocular tube through the magnifying side, you see things up close, that is youth. Turning the long binocular tube around, then looking at the eye piece through the other end, you see things from far away, that is old age. Great line and great movie. All the actors were great. Give it a shot and be patient. Watch the movie without disturbances, a quiet night alone or with a friend. You’ll get more out of it. It’s as close to art as a film can get.

Where is Paul Dano?😓

[@barbamatteo]

Great movie, pure poetry

[@francescobonfiglio9142]

Jane Fonda is a beautiful, intelligent, elegant, witty and classy lady despite her age.

[@bravesirrobin1793]

I haven't seen this yet, I need to, Michael Cain, what an actor and man, top shelf

[@avinabasarkar3120]

Such a wonderful movie ♥️

[@kellyrosan]

what? Jane and Rachel in a movie together

[@TheObbyblobby]

Hardly spoke to Harvey, what a waste.

[@suzie5813]

+Suzie Park he didn't seem happy about it either haha

[@dkelly26666]

+Suzie Park I was annoyed,too. Keitel is a legend. Just as much as Caine and Fonda. He seemed to be completely ignored mostly. And, yes, I do think he was annoyed about it.

[@schallsicher]

It is a great movie indeed

[@manu_jmartin]

why wasn't Paul Dano on this interview?

[@ISpyABirdie]

Did the interviewer just skip pass Harvey and over to Rachel. It's like she didn't prepare a question for him. Every1 is supposed to get at least or asked one question per person there at the convention. Otherwise, why have them there,if you're not going to ask them a question. It is just a waste of the actor's time bc they fit this session into their work schedule. Disappointed really? I wanted to hear from Harvey more, and I've been a fan of his films for years since Reservoir Dogs. Omg!

[@dkelly26666]

+Burda Ellis (w2nicolyeland) Agreed. I've been a fan of him since "Mean Streets". I first saw "Mean Streets" in NYC in 1974. Then, I saw "Taxi Driver" when it first came out. I've been a massive Keitel fan ever since. When he experienced a big career resurgence in the 1990s, I had already been a big fan for years, so it was exciting to see him finally getting some major recognition. After he was Oscar nominated for "Bugsy" in 1991, that following year he co-starred in the surprise blockbuster "Sister Act", guest hosted Saturday Night Live with Madonna, and that fall had TWO of his career defining films released, just two weeks apart: "Reservoir Dogs" and "Bad Lieutenant". Follow the next few years with "The Piano", "Pulp Fiction", "Clockers", "Smoke", "From Dusk till Dawn", and "Cop Land", and Keitel was on a roll. Now, at nearly 77, with a 48 year career under his belt, and literally about 200 films, and he is an absolute legend. The way he was ignored here was unthinkable to me. And, yes, you can tell he was annoyed by being ignored.

[@ISpyABirdie]

dkelly26666 Thnx so happy I wasn't the only1 bc Rachel&Jane got at least as much attention as Michael did, where Harvey could've been asked more questions too. Why have an actor there when its fitted into their busy/packed film schedule for press/interviews when you're only gonna ask them one tiny question. It was so short, that this1 should've been longer. But, that's my opinion.
