DP/30: Jake Gyllenhaal, Nightcrawler

[@DeePattyNour]

I love the genuine respect the interviewer has for Gyllenhaal.

[@3039576202]

Jake is completely engaging & mesmerizing. He' so real, humble, intelligent and respects his craft and loves people. His passion & commitment makes his so interesting... LOVE him!

[@romanr9883]

"i was shooting prisoners" made me chuckle a bit

[@chynnhowe]

Same!!

[@jeraldbrewer6087]

DP does great interviews for people who REALLY care about the craft of movies. Gyllenhaal gives a knock out performance in one of the best movies of the year. His comments are fascinating. This is absolute catnip for people who truly value movies as as serious art.

[@NorthsideBlue16]

Completely agree. I can't get enough of these videos and love what they're about!

[@chriswright4677]

That’s the triple truth, Ruth!! Love this.

[@YouriCarma]

This guy Gyllenhaal got me interested in whole different style movies and that's progress.

[@desireesun]

People at the Oscars must be blind... Jake puts so much dedication and passion into his roles!

[@tabithaseccara7144]

Fuck the Oscars, Jake kicks ass in this movie in every way, amazing acting

[@felitzitasmay6257]

He just has the most beautiful and soothing lough

[@VjonasBros1fan]

I am mesmerized. He truly is a fascinating person which makes him an amazing actor.

[@valmacclinchy]

Jake is so incredibly versatile as an actor. One of the finest actors ever.

[@jeslyn4234]

[@kevinscottbailey8335]

Jake is one of CV the most thoughtful and intelligent actors doing it.

[@BiggCliph]

This is one of my favorite interviews ever 🙂

[@Vanda-il9ul]

Thanks for these interviews. I think, the trust and respect are on both sides. Clever questions, intelligent answers, the space, they both need, is given ... Just love watching these DP/30 videos.

[@dorothyfischer2649]

Searching for bobby fisher!!! Love, love , that film. ❤️

[@bertvsrob]

dude ages like fine wine

[@thomasscottwilliams6672]

‘“MOVIE STAR PRETTY” is how the interviewer described JG within the first few minutes, this commentator is so patronising to his guests, I’ve seen many of the videos over 7 yrs and the initial or secondary comment is often a slap down quickly laughed over into a compliment. Really surprised nobody else isn’t catching this guys tone and method of interviews.

[@relinquis]

you guys have some of the best interviews together... hopefully he'll be busy enough for this to be an annual thing for years to come.

[@spatzhawk]

"Bottom line is that I just don't mess around" 29:04 badass Jake xD I need to catch up on a lot of his work it seems he's in an awesome creative phase right now

[@courtneymilner6062]

THESE! are interviews..maybe it’s because it’s Jake and he’s a very talented actor that chooses great roles so there’s more to talk about but I hate those short superficial interviews. This is what I want to know and what makes acting so fascinating

[@OperationCaitlin]

Great interview! Nightcrawler is an amazing film that really got me excited about movies in a way that I haven't been in awhile, at least not in mainstream cinema.

[@Tojoj22]

omg yes!! the dude has to get nominated if not the "academy" is crazy 

[@apseudonym]

I love hearing him talk about his craft because he's articulate and says a lot of profound things but also good lord is he attractive.

[@tara5190]

i could listen to him talking all day

[@iamlegend128]

Can someone explain how these videos have such low viewers yet they can get the biggest moviestars?

[@Tsagan]

not everybody is interested in the craft of film making, DP/30 is not where you will find glitter

[@BlackWid0w]

Because he isn't a very good interviewer. Pretty much every question has an "or" and the camera person is absolutely terrible, like really bad, like needs a kick in the nuts bad. When inserting his "ors", he is only giving the person a choice of what he the interviewer thinks and often it is so far off what the person he is interviewing is thinking. I totally get why Tommy Lee Jones was so frustrated with him.

[@dp30]

iamlegend128 Because I reach an industry audience, the talent is almost always pleased after having done the interview, and because the numbers grow over time. The numbers, overall, are also unusually good for actual interviews and not "celebrities do funny stuff" clips.

[@Tojoj22]

Exactly lol that is a shock! The interviewer need to show his face to get more views and no offense he needs STOP saying uhmm yeah uhmm uhmm chuck chuck chuck uhmmm in front of people in the film industry! ugh! It's rude. OMG look at the 2010 d/p 30 interview with James Franco!! JF wanted to throw him over the river for not listing! Any way I hope Gyllenhaal gets nominated and hopefully wins something this season!! Nightcrawler was so ausum (giggles) I saw it like about 4 times

[@volodiaarnaud599]

Charlotte If what you say was true, people from the industry would stop coming at those meeting, because they gain nothing by doing this. The interviewer obviously has some good (or at least decent) feedback,because a lot of the actors keep coming back to his interviews. He might not be the perfect interviewer and he cannot satisfy everybody, but he is the only one I've found yet, who's offering opening interviews of that length with cool people from cinema (and not only actors or directors). And maybe, just maybe you should consider that Tommy lee Jones might be aging, or that the day might not have been perfect for the two of them, or maybe TLJ is just an asshole. Or maybe you're right. But then why most of those interviews are going well?

[@FloidMr]

I never like him. After Prisoners i change my mind. And look at the role selection. Source Code, End of Watch, Prisoners, Enemy, Nightcrawler... and Everest, Southpaw and new movie of Jean-Marc Vallée in future. Jesus, this guy is on fire. On of the most interesting actors in Hollywood right now.

[@00-00-d5h]

yeah i agree with everyone here. dp30 is pretty much the only interview channel i follow. deserves muuuuuch more exposure and love.

[@nero12345789]

DP/30 I absolutely love your interviews. You are able to ask fascinating questions which get really perplexing and interesting answers from each and every actor you interview. Keep up the awesome job!

[@TomCheaterfilm]

such a great interview, you get some real depth from these guys its admirable

[@kellynygaard5362]

Love the interviews, thank you!

[@jackieboyborden]

These are really good interviews.

[@flippert0]

When I think of Nightcrawler, I always think of the catchphrase "A sociopath as a success model". It's almost as hilarious at times as Michael J Fox' "Secret of My Success", but with a much more sinister and creepy plot of course.

[@WupWup68]

Cool interview! Totally love him - he's such an amazing actor! BBM, Enemy, Prisoners, End of Watch... saw Nightcrawer last week and he blew me away with his performance. Go get that Oscar, Jake! He's also a funny, down to earth guy as well.

[@jokesterr119]

😿😿😿 Well, maybe for Southpaw he'll get nomination

[@bonnb9]

Please don't forget Donnie Darko!! (( :

[@ShwetaChatterjee]

I love all your interviews with Jake. Needless to say that I am his biggest fan

[@carlosnoriega2608]

Drink everytime you hear "compromising."

[@StarCrusher.]

This was a good interview, haters gonna hate.

[@dp30]

StarCrusher I don't suspect that those "dislikes" are even watching the interview. Unfortunately, they are pissing on someone - my guest - who doesn't deserve the childish, thoughtless abuse.

[@StarCrusher.]

DP/30 I just hope you don't take it personally, I've enjoyed all your videos since the start.

[@a0705717]

what a great interview

[@lucad6649]

Nightcrawler is one of the most incredible pieces of art ever made

[@Bryan8329]

I'm surprised to learn that it was under 10 million. Elswit made it look 5 times that much.

[@kiko1935]

So many other youtube interview channels ruin their content with tons of jarring jumpcuts, camera changes and corny music. I appreciate DP/30 for showing us the raw, uninterrupted interview.

[@luapluapluap1000]

Nightcrawler shows the evolution of the "adult" of today, no room for ethics, the goal it to make it to the next week. The character is a type of self taught sociopath.

[@johndong7524]

He's a product and a victim of the today's transaction based corporate owned world and souless environment where the game is fixed and young people are robbed of the opportunity to succeed in the normal humane way. People have to become like Lou in order to fit in and carve out their piece of the pie. And so they become these opportunistic sociopaths. Much like coyotes. Always hungry, always on the run, always risking, always looking out to score regardless of the price and moral/legal consequences. We live in the era of opportunity based economy. From Uber to Only Fans. Whatever works, whatever sticks. People are desperate enough to try anything in order to survive and advance forward.

[@afternoond3light]

best fucking interviews on the web. jake is my hero.

[@leedavis4062]

love your interviews so much David Poland!

[@squatch545]

David, I hope you can get Rene Russo some day. She and Jake were both excellent in Nightcrawler.

[@theæthœr]

If there's anyone who deserves an Oscar, it's Jake Gyllenhaal. He deserved one for Prisoners and Nightcrawler.

[@halim9049]

Great interview!

[@띠로리-d2d]

he's a real deal

[@magdalenamioskowska9496]

Very good interview! It's nice when nobody is trying doing the show and allow to actor take good speech. Another good thing is that interview is at day, when actor is not sleepy 😉

[@zasddsaf]

best male performance of the year so far

[@casstrippin5586]

As an Actor, after watching this, i realize how we share a very similar rule of ethics and technique. This reassures me.

[@dizzt19]

I loved how intense it was, I was actually on the edge of my seat :D

[@Gambiezero]

I just watched nightcrawler, it's really a good movie.

[@MrDotR]

[@CARO1993lina]

Are there interviews for 2015 and 2016?

[@natty3456]

An amazing actor.

[@Tiffyepiphythegreat]

He was amazing in this movie. I was a little hesitant to watch, but he kept me trasfixed to the screen. It is bull that he wasn't nominated for an Academy Award. Like my IMDB page Tiffany Gonzalez :)

[@MultiNblue]

1:57 OMG i know it.. he is so AMAZING

[@ellaminnow]

It’s been too long since you’ve interviewed him.

[@RockBottomRiser21]

Good interview, what's with the thumbs downs?

[@WhiteAntelope7]

ye, like what the hell with the thumbs down.

[@philmitchell1050]

The interviewer the other day made tommy lee jones pretty angry with his silly questions. Probably the backlash from that.

[@WhiteAntelope7]

Christian Hall thanks, that explains a lot.

[@dp30]

Christian Hall A few yahoos who claim they are defending someone who doesn't need defending. Ironically, as they up the ante on "thumbs down," the seem to be causing more people to click on "thumbs up."

[@RagdollRalph]

DP/30 Any publicity is good publicity and so on :D It certainly has livened up the comment sections a bit :)

[@Alejandraboc]

I like Jake Gyllenhaal so much, that I can write his last name without misspellings! He is a good actor, and he is better and better with each movie. My favourite is that with the spider "Enemy". I did not like Nightcrawler, but I did like his performance... althought he is way too much on screen... I'd like him to peek a supporting role sometime. I believe he is making a great career and that oscar will come sooner or later. Appart from that, I'm from Argentina, so go "Wild tales"

[@giulialucioli6673]

Cool interviuw..

[@percabeth1347]

0:06 haha mood

[@affalaffaa]

Thought he was great in Nightcrawler, a real sociopathic nightmare and Enemy. Seems like a very likeable guy as well and so of course he hasn't got an oscar. I'll be very surprised if he doesn't get one before I die, but then I do live in a heavily guarded and very nutritionally healthy bunker with the best medics available. I have full confidence in the oscar process.

[@chbjdbccs]

love these interviews

[@raydeathray4183]

17:38 I know he’s talking about Scott Lane, a Los Angeles stringer who runs the company Loudlabs. They have their own KZbin channel. He’s an interesting character who does some risky, sometimes shady stuff to get footage. He even sounds like Lou Bloom when he talks.

[@lakshmir7616]

This looks like talking to friend in your home . I came from Robert pattison interview

[@Bamgeutcutiepie]

Will smith, Leonardo dicaprio, Johnny depp, jake gyllenhaal, Tobey maguire.. None has got an Oscar. But they are the best actors out there. The oscars is a joke.

[@affalaffaa]

+Jamie Schou I agree with two of those

[@iansmart4158]

+affalaffaa Which 2?

[@affalaffaa]

Ian Smart DiCaprio and Gyllenhaal

[@iansmart4158]

affalaffaa So you don't consider all those great indie performances from Tobey or Will Smith's Performances in I am Legend, Ali, the pursuit of Happines, or Hancock (which is probably the best performance ever seen in a superhero movie besides maybe Heath Ledger's Joker) or Johnny Depp in Donnie Brasco, Ed Wood, Fear and Loathing, or Pirates of the Caribbean (regardless of your feeling on those movies, he gives a stellar performance). They might not all be giving oscar worthy stuff today (i'd argue Will isn't, Focus and Concussion) but they have legacy's that speak for themselves. i still think robert De Niro is the best actor of all time even though he has done anything groundbreaking in a while.

[@affalaffaa]

Ian Smart I think the other three are great actors when the right film comes along for them. Depp in Donnie Brasco I particularly like, but neither he nor Pacino were nominated, for that film, at the oscars that year. Smith has his moments, Ali and pursuit of Happyness are good and I could not agree with the panning that some critics gave Hancock, a film I enjoyed, but It's not an oscar award winning performance from Smith. I chose DiCaprio and Gyllenhaal for the fact, in my eyes, that they have given consistently great and varied performances in their films. The way DiCaprio hasn't got an oscar yet is borderline scandalous! Maybe his luck will change with The Revenant. All just my opinion of course.

[@vlogmoor]

Jake would probably be a better psychopath than Christian bale and an amazing joker.

[@ellaminnow]

I wonder if he’d ever take that role because of his friendship with Heath.

[@vlogmoor]

@@ellaminnow me too. I would imagine if someone offered it to him he would, but it’s hard to say. Great question.

[@silasrobledo]

Mr. Poland, too often an interviewer will present the right people with the wrong questions. Thank God you don't do that.

[@leoxvitale9757]

***The dislikers are lurking in the shadows***

[@3039576202]

Jake I really liked Point Break too...lol I watched hit way too many times...... that was hilarious

[@zackmac5917]

Nightcrawler is amazing, and his performance was mesmerising. He absolutely should have been Oscar nominated. He mentions how it's a success story...... I honestly think that's such a twisted mind's view. I understand that it technically *is* a success story on some levels (since it follows Lou going from zero to financial success) but that is only an actual success story if you remove the issue of *morality* . I know that that is kind of the point, the double edged sword kind of thing about the film, and they probably get a kick out of interpreting it in a such a way because it's edgy. But I think it's seriously messed up to devalue the core issue of the whole movie - that he was a violent sociopath - and elevate above that the fact that he achieved financial success and social mobility. The moral issue, the fact that he achieved financial success through extremely disgusting sociopathic morally-devoid methods is *the* core of the movie, because morality comes first before personal financial success. It's concerningly psychopathic to even want to see the movie more as a success story as opposed to what it is: a psychopath's defiant and relentless pursuit of financial success at the cost of human life. That's not "success". It's a disturbing look into inhumanity. Anyone who isn't a psychopath should immediately know this....

[@johndong7524]

This movie is not about a classic success story unless you're twelve years old or not very intelligent. Rather it's s a social commentary and a reflection on the sad inhumane crony capitalist world we live in today. A world that robs young people of the legit opportunity to succeed, so in order to fit into these cruel reality they have to resort to underhanded ways, act like souless sociopathic opportunists, and eventually turn into someone like Loue - an amoral, unethical scavenger willing to do anything to succeed because society has left him no choice. Loue is a product of today's environment is the key takeaway from this movie.

[@zackmac5917]

@@johndong7524 I hold to my view of Lou's morality and the immorality of his actions and how it is a sad story (not a success story unless you are in part psychopathic) But capitalism itself literally provides opportunity and brings people en masse out of poverty more so than any other system ever created. That is a fact. A historical and statistical fact. Lou is accountable for himself. Not everyone goes and does what Lou does - become a complete psychopath. Most people do not, even if they have to struggle to work their way up. Of course those who start off in worse positions, have it harder and are more likely to be more tested. But this is a question of the morality of the individual. If you don't think Lou is accountable for his actions, then no one is. Human beings are moral beings with the capacity to choose between good and evil. Most people get on with taking the opportunities that arise and create opportunities, work hard, take accountability for themselves, and create a life that is the wages of their labour. Communists don't want to take accountability for themselves - they are bitter people that blame others and the system for their own failings. I have seen it first hand with a close friend who has now become communist. He doesn't take accountability for himself and is blinded to the fact that he rejected huge opportunities in life. His whole outlook on life for many years has been tainted by socialist propaganda that killed any ambition and optimism for him to go out and do the best he can and succeed in taking all the opportunities given, to make the best for his life. He has always felt that the system is out to get him, and he is the one who has achieved the least - while everyone else who didn't think that way, put in the hard work, took accountability for themselves, and have created a good life. The requirement of hard work is no excuse to hate the system. Humans have always had to work hard for everything we have. If you're not rich enough to not work hard, then work. Take and create opportunities, they are there, and make a better life for yourself and for your children. Saying you have no opportunity here in the west, is an insult to others around the world that are in less developed nations and still in early growth, especially poor people in the few remaining communist/specialist countries, and indeed is also an insult to all people who have ever existed. Human history has always been one big struggle to rise out of poverty. And capitalism is the first system to ever achieve that en masse to an astounding degree never before seen. It's not perfect. It has many, many flaws, but it's by far the best system we have. Its not even close, not even a contest. We have put it all to the test the last century - the results are in and the facts are settled.

[@johndong7524]

@@zackmac5917 It is a success story from an uber-capitalist point of view. According to the movie director Loue is an uber capitalist. Because this what building capitalist fortune all about. Lying. Stealing. Cheating people. Getting ahead through underhanded means. Sabotaging and exploiting others. Corruping people around you. Historically this has always been the case. And it's not just Loue who is doing it in the movie. Nina is also doing it by corrupting her more ethical peers, as well as a nameless foreman in the beginning of the film by knowingly buying stolen property. The point of the story, as voiced by its director Dan Gillroy, is that we live in the soulless, transaction based, consumerist society devoid of affection and respect, created by the specific brand of greedy, profit above else driven, crony American capitalism, which in turn robbed young generations of people from a chance of getting ahead on the even playing field. Which in turn creates amoral unethical people like Loue who is a 100 percent sociopat, but also a direct product of his environment. This is very apparent by the way he talks. He doesn't sound like a regular person, he talks like someone reciting the corporate business vocabulary. Loue simply does things to fit in the today's world. He's not any different from the people on the top. Sure he's doing the wrong things, but what other opportunity does he have in order to elevate his status? Don't blame the player, blame the game as the saying goes. Right? You can't play with the cards you're dealt. You have to cheat to win. So yeah, while Loue is solely responsible for his actions, he also does it because he is left with no choice. There's no other way for young people like him to rise from poverty and succeed in our day and age. Also, you're wrong about communists. They worked hard and were responsible, but they were deliberately oppressed and held down. This whole idealogy was created and emerged because working classes were kept down and held back by the capitalists and noble class. They had zero opportunity to get ahead. In fact, American middle class was created because of the Communist ideas such as higher pay, the unions, and forty hours work week. If properly executed Communism can be very good and successful which is effectively demonstrated by China and Vietnam as well as the Northern European countries with their Scandinavian model of socialism. If you notice in the movie Loue is willing to work and once getting a job he actually works pretty hard, albeit resorting to dirty methods. Yet he works hard nevertheless. So yeah, it's not always about just working hard, despite capitalists brainwashing you with this idea. There are plenty of hard workers living in poverty here in America. You don't think unloading trucks or cleaning toilets is hard work? Think again, little boy. Hard work gets you nothing, but a hump on your back. Furthermore, morality is not a part of the human nature. It's not something you are born with. Morality is an invented social concept dictated by the outside factors which prompts people to do good or evil things depending on the particular circumstances they're faced with at the moment.
