Cillian Murphy on Small Things Like These and his life post-Oscar win

[@atuvera9021]

I love how Cillian is not only a great professional but also a humble and well intentioned man, he truly listen and answer the questions in a honest way. I love that i'm a time were people like him still are trying to make movies meaningful.

[@elizabethharvester6111]

He's such a real soul him

[@dorothylaplante7243]

It is admirable how Cillian thinks carefully about the questions before he responds. He walks a fine line as an Irish man. He is an amazing artist.

[@SmcdMcd-d2k]

A fine line ? A lot of irish actors are like that

[@Andrew-Antioch-Kim]

Both Cillian and Tom deserve all of their flowers!

[@muirisobreathnach]

What a class act Cillian Murphy is!! Fantastic interview and interviewer. Felt like I was just sitting in on the conversation which doesn't happen often if at all ☘🇮🇪

[@elizabethharvester6111]

Right? That's what I thought - I give credit to Tom Power's approach as an interview.

[@brkaz5864]

I love an interview with intelligence on both sides of the screen. Love that Tom engaged Cillian and a lovely discussion ensued. Most American interviewers are so inept

[@elizabethharvester6111]

Oh my word yes! Some of them ask such stupid questions - you can see the actor try so hard to NOT reach across and smack them in the face for asking such insipid questions.

[@cl17886]

One of the most fascinating interviews with Mr Murphy I have seen recently. Thanks a million ❤

[@CK2008able]

Great interview! Should've known Tom was from Newfoundland with that accent. Such a kinship between us Irish and Newfoundlanders. Also, Cillian is the man

[@failedartist3994]

Thank you for you interview. Just saw it in Montreal and couldn't help but think that we also shared a similar experience under Duplessis. So many women and children were put in the "crèches" and so many families were pulled appart. Truly heartbreaking. This movie should be seen by everyone.

[@elizabethharvester6111]

Oh my gosh, I did not know about "cheches"! Thank you for informing me about them! I'll have to go read more about them. Just one more piece of colonial history that was covered up for many years.

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

I loved what he said about how the film ended - we went for dinner after and the people I was with - we just talked and thought about the next scene after the ending - it was a masterstroke to leave it there - how did that family deal with the next minute and hour after he got home with Sarah???? such a great film

[@kavkazE]

Two great guys to hear

[@marisolm5384]

I know I'm probably not saying anything new but it is SUCH a beautiful performance. The work he does on his physicality, his movements, his facial expression. It's so delicate. I had read the novella and it was very moving, but seeing it on the screen is even more touching. Please go see this film.

[@marisolm5384]

Also EXCELLENT interview, Tom

[@annettegilbert3715]

I do hope they'll bring it to cinemas in Australia ❤️

[@marisolm5384]

@@annettegilbert3715 I hope they do, it's really worth watching.

[@annettegilbert3715]

@marisolm5384 Yes I'm longing to see it 💕

[@rehnumachowdhury3629]

What I loved about the film, is they don't dumb it down for the audience. The movie is like a Jigsaw (bit of a spoiler), you piece it together while the movie goes on, and then the very unconventional ending makes it perfect. Gives the characters/societies plight to the audience. Also, I loved how they didn't try to emotionally manipulate the audience with a sad violin score or speed up the pacing, allowing you to really take everything in. Certainly not a comfortable viewing experience, but an essential one.

[@martinobrien7110]

It is that line in Joni Mitchell 's , Magdalene Laundries . " At least some Bells should ring " .

[@pjm8747]

“if you’re delighted with yourself, delighted with your work, and delighted with your life, i don’t think you’re going to make very interesting work.” Cillian, King Perfectionist Sad Boi 👑🖤

[@TKVdaboi]

I feel glad to be one of the first people to watch this. I have Cillian all to myself ❤ if only for a few moments I love hearing him on anything be it life, movies, etc

[@kirstensutton8750]

Fabulous interview! Breathtaking performance by Cillian Murphy. Love, love, love.

[@sohinisen3042]

That was an interesting interview. Love how Cillian takes a moment to think and then answers the questions.♥️

[@simonaschmidt]

mistakes are the portals to creativity - awesome!

[@mohsenmdi5754]

Bless you Tommy.

[@jessicarowley9631]

This was a lovely interview. Thank you.

[@Meagan939]

Just wonderful! I’ve never come across an interview that was so wholesome and detailed. So well thought out and in turn so well answered. Amazing job to the both of yall!

[@mb4310]

Loved this AMAZING interview - you're a legend Tom!!

[@mohsenmdi5754]

Bless you Tommy Thank you gor your time.

[@karenbruen3918]

He's a great Ambassador for Ireland

[@veragibault2703]

Saw the movie last night .. wonderful 👍🙌

[@Lea-zf7lm]

That was an amazing interview from two of the best in their respective fields. Kudos to Mr Power and his producer(s). Job well done 👏

[@slimelove3493]

"mistakes are the portals to creativity. i really believe that. even if you have really bad ideas, youre just figuring it out u know?"

[@saraoleary4150]

Lovely interview! Really appreciated the deep thoughtful questions given that made up a lovely conversation overall! I would personally love to see all the Irish gang from Cillian, Barry, Saoirse, Paul, etc in a film together some day! If not that, maybe a huge Irish version of “actors on actors”😏 Great job.

[@linland4309]

Cillian is the master of the unspoken emotion...he is so great at expressing things with his eyes and facial expressions.

[@MultiKiiki]

C M has certainly evolved into a fine actor with a serious back catalog of finely portrayed roles I have been most impressed with his theater performances especially Misterman and Grief is a thing with Feathers both directed by Enda Walsh They were very much one man shows and C was outstanding

[@Hellhunde64]

An actor just prancing around the place. Cillian, the king of understatement = )

[@elizabethharvester6111]

He's so damn funny! 🤣 He never seems to take himself too seriously - which makes him all the more loveable as an artist.

[@amandabrown8454]

Thank you for my Cillian 😊

[@colettevidal7966]

Beautiful man and wonderful actor!

[@R12390]

What a great interview Tom. Cillian is notoriously not fond of interviews, you brought him out. ❤️

[@elizabethharvester6111]

Yes, I think that's because Tom Power actually asked intelligent questions about the craft and the work - instead of stupid questions like some of these giddy hollywood reports. Ugh.

[@gingerbryant2347]

Love, love, love me some Cillian Murphy. Great interview!

[@nadyad3450]

Great film , watched it 2 times, greetings from Northern Ireland

[@TheJohnny32100]

You are a legend C!

[@elizabethharvester6111]

Oooh, I am loving this - getting a glimpse inside the artist's mind of the amazing Cillian Murphy. Love hearing him process his approach to the craft. It is an art form I could never tackle - don't want to either. But I love watching the "true artists" (or did he say "real artists) tackle roles like this - real life like everyday characters going through such pain and angst.

[@elisabethdevyt8256]

I'm anonymously adopted. In Paris. And live in Brugge, Belgium. I I know nothing about my biological mother. The movie makes me think at her. I respect her 200%. Even when my adoptive father told me, that he had not at all respect for her. I've cried. I find the movie just great. Thanks

[@inMuro]

beautiful film

[@JohnSmith-mi8zy]

This was fantastic.

[@graziemille2454]

I love the solo interviews with CM with serious interviewers. CM seems to enjoy talking about his work, and a great interviewer will let him talk. Personally, I did not enjoy many of the Oppie interviews which included Downey and especially Blunt, who often interrupted. The Kimmel interview was painful to watch. (if you liked them, that’s fine. Weren’t my cuppa tea.). Thank you for posting. Highly recommend the film. Seems to have more showings in my area.

[@nailabraga4500]

exactly

[@joannecrate1486]

Great interview. Love your voice Tom Powet. 🙏🏼💕👏🇨🇦

[@TheJohnny32100]

He's a legend

[@sudeshnapal1832]

Highly recommend watching this movie and also reading the book of the same title.

[@twononcriticsandacat]

Amazing interview!

[@81Point2]

Respect for bringing up the similarities between what happened in Canada and Ireland

[@TheBella2u]

You know Joni Mitchell wrote a song called The Magdalene Laundries on her album Turbulent Indigo.

[@martinobrien7110]

The Christy Moore version is as good if not better .

[@martinobrien7110]

As Cillian says the Beauty of the Story is What Happens Next . The Consequences of his Action are myriad . That is what makes Emily Watson's " Mother Superior " so terrifying . Absolute Power Corrupts .

[@joanneg460]

Excellent Film! Quiet restraint and beautiful handling of a tough subject.

[@philomenaoconnor2211]

The Irish DNA always connects well regardless of distance or generations. Here we had two people having an interesting chat.

[@andrealandsburg]

I really enjoyed that😊

[@sethfelson]

Does Tom realize how much his accent changes when he spoke to Cillian?

[@martinobrien7110]

Murphy makes you Proud to be Irish . The Irish Roman Catholic Church makes me Ashamed .

[@flannerymonaghan-morris4825]

Man, how hard is it to NOT be distracted by those gorgeous blue eyes?

[@Therealjm77]

Thomas Shelby looks good here

[@butakhan9650]

His voice 🗿

[@pilgrim3387]

I'm looking forward to him doing a film about tusla.

[@martinobrien7110]

Cool.

[@fedezy6922]

19:07 did he say " nastasja death ' ? Is it slang?

[@Starburst514]

What he said about being able to feel like you can be a bit of a fool on set to get to what works reminds me of what Derek Centerfiane said about making the Light Between Oceans He said when he finished reading the book on the subway he was crying and very aware he was crying in public and he said he went "wow this is embarrassing....i have to make this a movie" 😂 and that's also how he oicks his actors, because you have to be willing to be embarrassed not just to see what works but to be able to display the things thst get to the heart A lot of people who act have said they had to get over the hump of feeling foolish and embarrassed when you start doing it, but then also to display true emotion you have to be willing to look or feel weird I've noticed (on smaller scale) a lot of content creators and artists have a fear of being "cringe" that holds them back creatively because if it fails then its humiliating, but you don't know what works until you see what doesn't To make good art you have to be willing to be embarrassed and look weird

[@DanielWhite-v4e]

great

[@tylerdelaire4574]

I need a real scarecrow mask from batman begins from tyler delaire

[@Dianaran1972]

❤❤❤❤

[@annettegilbert3715]

I wish 😢

[@stephaniemoore9122]

The movie has little dialogue good slow I knew of the story of the Magdalene Sisters in Ireland might want to review that before seeing them

[@human_noor]

whaat that's actually his accent

[@SimDeck]

The Irish often harbor profound resentment towards the British, yet struggle to confront or resolve the complexities within their own historical and societal challenges. If one intends to argue from a position of moral virtue and claim the high ground of righteousness, it is imperative to ensure that their own narrative stands unblemished. Hypocrisy is the enemy of credibility; before casting judgment outward, one must have the courage to first reconcile with the imperfections of their own past.

[@user-ln3bd9gz5v]

He would play a fantastic Tom Brady!!! Football anyone?

[@DanielWhite-v4e]

the necessity of invention is what mother

[@DanielWhite-v4e]

talk to Stephen read about a Copenhagen reunion why dontcha

[@DanielWhite-v4e]

play Macbeth nex

[@nettiejean1572]

Great interview, interesting movie but seems not to be coming to Australia, sad face.

[@annettegilbert3715]

😢

[@user-ln3bd9gz5v]

His character played the response Jesus would do; not Christian. Shows how religion is manipulated to benefit the bureaucracy.

[@ckarsenal]

Did Cillian record this with a potato?

[@bridgetb9899]

Great interview!
