DP/30: Ethan Hawke - Part 1, The Career

[@JHallenbeck]

So many of Ethan Hawke's movies tend to resonate with me - the Before series, Dead Poet's Society, Gattaca, Great Expectations, Before the Devil Knows you're Dead, Training Day, Alive, A Midnight Clear. He picks, for the most part, quality projects with sincere motivations behind them. Fantastic, natural on-screen presence. This was a great interview. Again, DP/30 delivers a thoughtful, warm and engaging conversation that totally vibes with respect and substance.

[@sfspmusic]

"Reality bites" was also a good one.

[@BenChuD1]

Gattaca is a great film , a certain film derailed its possibilities of popularity and success.That film was way .......way ahead of its time.

[@sash7551]

Amazing actor one of my top for sure

[@TheEgiptana]

A piano teacher once told me, "you gotta be musically honest". This guy has been honest. It is good that he hasn´t bought the crap of becoming a celebrity. Congratulations, Ethan!

[@exitcheese]

this is a great interview and he's very honest, he's got my respect

[@n0tlia465]

I can listen to Ethan talk all day.

[@GioiaLombardo]

So do I 🙈🙈

[@Shawn3002]

Gattica is to this day one of my favorite films of all time. I never understood why it wasnt more well known and appreciated but I learned to keep it in my hip pocket almost like a song you loved but didn’t want anyone but your closest to know about. I always appreciated his performances and I found this interview to be insightful and thoughtfully self examining. I wish there were more films like his choices that focused on character as much as the plot. Well done.

[@Mayabee321]

An actor with a brain that he actually uses 👏 the Before Sunrise/Before Sunset/Before Midnight trilogy is a masterpiece.

[@dinab7852]

AMEN! It's my favorite movie trilogy, I've watched each movie too many times to keep track.

[@Mayabee321]

@@dinab7852 all I need is to purchase Before Midnight and then I’ll be set! I can’t pick a favorite, they are all amazing.

[@stephenfletcher5391]

Wish we could find more celebs, politicians, businessmen, religious leaders and scientists who is this honest. Great to see. Deep respect for Ethan Hawke.

[@EKSloyer]

They casted Ethan for Training Day because, unlike other well-known actors at the time, he could handle himself around Washington -- you could see it in Ethan's eyes especially in Training Day

[@onesb6717]

he's soo hard on himself that's probably why he's so successful

[@ellequence44]

before sunset is one of the best movies ever.

[@monagazine]

ellequence44, I agree... i love that movie more than the Before Sunrise. :)

[@Minzalin]

Ethan Hawke is a really entertaining interviewee. Great interview.

[@jessedampolo]

This interview is absolutely fascinating.

[@1StIwY1]

One of the greatest actor of our time. Also an truly enjoyable guy.

[@Rikitocker]

One word ... INTEGRITY!

[@Nautilus1972]

This man has never been in a bad movie or been bad in a movie.

[@alexm2136]

idk bout that one lol

[@benp4877]

Yep

[@lolasartstore2695]

Great interview... I love it when the interviewer just lets the interviewee go... Interesting dude..... He's definitely left brained....

[@saffiyahissoapy]

Ethan is amazing..what a wonderful person...love him to bits

[@poshdaniela]

I fell in love with him when I was a kid watching explorers. I LOVED THAT MOVIE when I was a kid. I decided, he will be my husband!

[@joycegibbs5267]

Explorers is a great film. What were those people thinking ????? Ethan is one of the few actors whose films I get excited to see even if they're not that great. I love his honesty.

[@aslan9334]

My introduction to Ethan was Dead Poet Society - and i can relate to his character!❤📺🎞

[@youcefbeghdadi2883]

Amazing interview. Sick jacket too.

[@colleenshea2293]

Always a truthful and interesting no BS interview from Ethan Hawke.

[@deeroks1]

such an excellent actor.

[@Maridu01]

So smart. So humble and honest. SO GORGEOUS! Dream man...

[@CubanPete1990]

Hey I remember him in Joe dante's film call'ed Explorers when he was a kid in the mid 1980's!

[@gettinguponthe1]

weird to think of Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and Jonny Depp as his contemporaries. I feel like he's been around for a lot longer and has taken a completely different path.

[@marshallzane7735]

For sure. I personally think he’s evolved far past all of them.

[@stephenfletcher5391]

@@marshallzane7735 They are all great I think, but Ethan has both the artistry of Depp and sincerity of Affleck and honesty humility of Damon.

[@theman2017inc]

@@stephenfletcher5391 WOW High Praise!!!😳

[@secretagentviper8382]

@@stephenfletcher5391 great insight, but Damon and Affleck are nothing compared to Depp and Hawk, I mean let's talk about the depth of characters portrayed

[@cgavin1]

Very true! Very wise words @ 5:43 and 21:09. A lot of his observations are 'life' lessons and not limited to just acting imho. I related a lot to what he said about how it was difficult to maintain a sense of self worth (let alone identity) from whatever casting director's thought of him. Big lesson in life right there!

[@cgavin1]

+cgavin1 24:25 too. Everyone has to face this and wither and die or rise again.

[@cveroespinoza]

I appreciate how he is consciously taking one step in front of the other. Accepting whatever the outcome. Goals.

[@CauldronShow]

Lovely! Part 2 couldn't come any sooner. Loved it!

[@NenadBach]

Simply brilliant!

[@ljw2909]

Wonderful interview, wonderful conversation. I have grown to love Ethan Hawke so much as an actor. He has so much to say, I wish in this conversation he would just slow down a little bit and finish the sentence. It's hard for me to follow sometimes. Maybe I'm just getting old.

[@manumiha]

This interview is great!Congrats!

[@LtotheEtotheAtotheH]

I've been waiting for this! Thanks for the upload :)

[@crlpop]

Hey! No knocking Explorers! As a kid I loooooved that movie. I totally forgot about it... but that movie was cool!

[@teaber]

Excellent interview and very interesting guy.

[@shortyrok211]

I like how he seperated himself from all the mumbo jumbo BS...great actor

[@jordanbickett4062]

15:20 I love how he says "important movies" in air quotes. So right, go ahead and give birdman the Oscar but in 100 years I'm sure no one will care, but Boyhood will last the centuries.

[@someoneelse9680]

Are you sure that's not just a reflection of how you feel ? Cause I'm reality they're both amazing works of film but if anytnkng boyhood wouldn't pass the test of time like something like Birdman I don't think he's at all alluding to that film

[@cockoffgewgle4993]

Birdman isn't an "important movie". I think he's more referencing "issue" movies that deal with politics/race/etc. And it's better than Boyhood, which was good.

[@marshallzane7735]

You have things mixed up. Bird man is a masterpiece and Boyhood is a gimmick movie.

[@79dmcjr]

That's not true. It's one thing to like boyhood better but that's a bit hyperbolic

[@DreamerDebora1]

Great interview

[@JoeSinopoli]

Excellent.

[@kimboucher7466]

I watched this as a result of curiosity. I watched one of his movies “Maudie”. It was excellent. Based on a true story.

[@FrF]

Great interview! There's a wonderful, long profile of Mr. Hawke in the August 28th, 2018 edition of the New York Times. It's entitled "Ethan Hawke Is Still Taking Ethan Hawke Extremely Seriously".

[@PitaBorges]

Thanks for sharing ❤️ Hugs from Brasil 🇧🇷

[@GraceRay-b9m]

I like what it means when the interviewer says let the wolf comes to you.

[@tokyocraze]

Great actor, very genuine and talented, unpretentious and underrated. Now it is very painful though to listen to the interviewer who is one of the worst I have ever heard. The guy laughs at most of what he says, often sounds like he is eating when he talks, mostly asks yes/no questions that go nowhere and simply sounds like he knows nothing about anything. My gosh, how is this person interviewing celebrities or anyone at all?

[@billcbren]

I like Ethan Hawke. Seems like a nice guy.

[@AdmiralBison]

Isn’t it remarkable that acting can be a full on job/career that can be done when you are a child and all throughout your life. From early grade school, before graduation, before learning to drive, marriage and all that? Is it like first nature to child-lifetime actors like Ethan Hawke?

[@stephengibbons2260]

[@AndrewNiccol]

Ethan I love you. Have any play for GATTACA 2?

[@secretagentviper8382]

He could have easily went down the same child actor path of destruction, but his parents pulled him out until he matured. The best choice they ever made with him, I feel he would be a has been, instead of a huge star

[@tsefcik]

What's the holdup on Part 2??

[@brabbit3389]

I just read his book - rules for a knight , It is a fine piece of work with very important life lessons in it. His first book I also read - the hottest state - bit disappointing but I’ll give Ash Wednesday a try - great guy
