Adventures in Moviegoing - Guillermo Del Toro

[@C.G.Jr.]

You can tell Guillermo Del Toro loves fantasy because the way he speaks radiates a certain kind of magic. His choice of words are absolutely beautiful

[@Pos608]

Evytime I hear him speak, I get a little teary, and I am not exaggerating it. He has a way of talking that moves me to my core.

[@PanGrotto]

Adam Savage interviewing Guillermo Del Toro for 25 minutes....YES !

[@yukinagato4319]

Fap Fap Fap!!

[@medusaspupil]

a very Savage interview.

[@jonathanglls]

I've seen many Del Toro interviews and this is definitely one of the best since I feel how he gets to truly express his passion for the art of cinema, great job!

[@AIFMusician]

Guillermo is hilarious in two languages. Love him. Great to see Adam Savage as well. Always a joyful face. 💛

[@sealife12]

Not even that big of a fan of his films but a definite admirer of him as a filmmaker and human. Inspiring character.

[@brandedtotroll9153]

I like all of his movies but even the people who don't like him on the whole tend to like Pan's Labyrinth. You got to give him Pan's Labyrinth.

Del Toro is incredibly wise. This was amazing to watch.

[@Oracol]

Awesome interview! Del Toro is incredibly well-spoken. Brilliant man.

[@Elassyahmed]

How the hell is English Del Toro's second language?. Incredibly articulate, philosophical, and with amazing introspection

[@stillafraidpod7225]

Two films changed my life, not only profoundly, but noticably. Hellboy, a parade of everything I love [an absolute "One sock" movie for me], changed my personal life. And Pan's Labyrinth, a perfect piece of craft, changed my artistic life, in that, by studying it, I learned what it is that a story teller does, and how any piece (be it a film, a painting, a comic, whatever you want) functions emotionally through its form. In my personal "Life-Church", Del Toro is the patron saint. "Santo Del Toro". For somehow, every single one of his films [yes, including Mimic (the director's cut), and yes including Blade 2] has managed to disintegrate and revive me; a form of alchemical transformation by means of his films and his public presence. Because of his work, I have dedicated myself to art. I am a writer of books that nobody reads. I am 27 years old and I am penniless, hopeless and placeless in the world, and I could not be happier, for my patron saint, Santo Del Toro, has lead me into my own personal Labyrinth, down into my own personal path of self discovery through my work. And whenever I stray, I listen to a commentary, and am steadfast once more. I love this man. I love his films. And I was completely earnest when I dedicated my first ebook, Raggwood: a folk tale, in equal halves to him and to my mother. For it is because of both of them that I have life. Also, I am the first one to comment. FUCK YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHH.

[@vanessa0111]

thats awesome. wish i could write a book... good luck with everything!

[@filmstruckuk1605]

Thank you so much for sharing - he really is a master and a true auteur!

[@stillafraidpod7225]

You can write a book! Sit down, knock it out, figure out how to do it, get the book to be as good as it can possibly be, then throw it away. Then you sit down and do it again, but this time don't try to make it great. Just write it to write it. Your personality will come out. Your beliefs, your values, your ups, your downs; all of it will be laid out on the table before you. A great form of meditation, and an exquisite excuse to lose yourself in a world of your own making. I highly recommend it; for, if we cannot know truth, the next best thing is to understand our own point of view. Best of luck, my friend. You have my love.

[@stillafraidpod7225]

My pleasure! And thank you for keeping the films I love alive. Criterion and TCM are heaven. Last month I was thrilled to get the Von Sternberg/Detrich collection, Dragon Inn, and (FINALLY) Virgin Spring on Blu Ray. And, funny story, being the Del Toro nut that I am, my friends and family got behind my back to send me to Minneapolis to vista the 'At Home With Monsters' Del Toro exhibit at the MIA last year. I spent three days soaking in the exhibit and actually correct around twenty mistakes the museum had made. I made such an impression on the staff they got me a ticket to the sold out showing of Pan's Labyrinth on 35mm. What great people. They'll have my heart until the end of time for that. I look forward to the forthcoming releases (I spotted De Palma's Sisters on the docket) and I wish you all the best. My name is Ed, by the way. Edward Willaim Polley. P.S. If you're interested, I dedicated the second book I released to Val Lewton. I adore Criterion's Cat People blu ray. Will they be releasing more Lewton films, or will Shout Factory be taking over?

[@Jacquibaffico]

I know this comment is 3 years old, but you got me intrigued, so I'll take a shot. Where can I get your book?

[@bfkc111]

He seriously likes Bioshock, Shadow of the Colossus and Princess Mononoke. And all kinds of other things. That is pretty cool.

[@felidiazbo]

This exchange is nothing short of fantastic and inspiring. I wish to be as wise, talented as GDT in my film career.

[@benjaminerickson3939]

What a pleasure to listen to someone who truly loves movies, and to share that enthusiasm.

[@sleepofgiants410]

Getting to the dance sequence in The Shape Of Water with a half packed small cinema was a special experience.

[@elgringomexicano]

That phrase "water cooler talk without a water cooler" to describe the content-driven ethos behind how a lot of modern stuff is made and consumed is absolutely brilliant, think I'm gonna have to start borrowing that one.

[@grindhouserob]

Thanks to Guillermo, horror films in the last couple of decades have finally started to earn the respect and understanding that science-fiction always had.

[@Acid4Blood]

How did i not know about this interview!?! i love these 2 guys!

[@igorgonzo4242]

Man,the way he talks about how movies should never be believed and produced is so profound, i never looked at it that way

[@nataliamonroy257]

Extraordinario hombre, cada cosa mencionada en sus diálogos demuestra la calidad humana y gran sabiduria que a forjado a travès de años de seguir su sueños, su intuiciòn; sin dejarse influenciar por patrones o estereotipos impuestos. Lo admiro inmensamente. Gracias por compartir este maravilloso video.

[@nicolabinetti7676]

What a fascinating director and human being

[@heroedelvino1]

Two of my favorite entertainers, great interview and very pleasant as they talk about monsters and horror movies! If you never watch Cronos you must, this is the movie when Del Toro makes the decision to make Ron Perlman Hellboy!!!

[@gratedlentils7123]

great interview!!!!

[@michaelforthriller]

I Love del toro!!

[@threestringsomg]

My dream is to work with Guillermo on movie for Lord Fouls Bane...his vision and creativity is right for it, so great....and no I never made movie...if any one could Guillermo could....

i feel like a kid seated next to a fire place listening to Santa😔😊

[@brandedtotroll9153]

When he says "The more ridiculous it is, the more I want to make art out of it" never was that more true than in The Shape of Water. That's how you know that Guillermo Del Toro is a genius. He won an Oscar for a movie where a lady f*#!s a fisherman.

Hellboy II is one of the great monster movies.

[@humberto_avila]

Isn't it?? I've watched so many times. I've heard his commentary and, as much as I watch it, I feel the love, the passion and the joy he put on that film while making it. Too bad is so underrated.
