DP/30: Hell or High Water, Taylor Sheridan

[@ggsay1687]

his films is like fresh water in the world of CGI

[@notabot835]

One of the most talented screenwriters working today.

[@5DiceProductions000]

Great screenwriter, I loved both of his movies. After seeing them I'll see anything he's attached to from now on; especially since he is moving to directing now.

[@meverick]

Such a down to earth guy. Amazing to hear his story in the interview.

[@jumpyonthehill]

This young man is probably the greatest western screen wrighter, producer, director of this century . He has the rare ability to bring out the absolute best in the actors in his films

[@StirfriedKpop9]

That was a great interview. He seems like a very humble guy, and he has so much respect for the art of storytelling.

[@62flamenco]

Taylor Sheridan took the western genre and transcended it in a beautiful and creative way - The western genre is the American myth story. That's the magic of his script. Having lived in Texas and seen the economy steadily decline and people lose their livelihoods, would make the banks a logical villain. However, he doesn't stay with the "evil banks" for long - That would have been predictable. He has the tension and dramatic argument between the brothers and the feeling of failed fatherhood as part of his characters' arcs. Their motivations are universal emotions and therefore, his characters are extremely engaging. If he sticks to the basic emotions, he'll be writing and directing like Clint Eastwood. Very talented guy on a good writing path.

Discovered him in SOA...LOVE HIM

[@1muzikmania]

His writing is the reason why I'm anticipating Wind River.

[@corpsefoot758]

Oh man, talk about worth the wait! 🙌

[@jberczi6]

You can tell that this guy is just so in control of his stories

[@theejcookproductions]

After seeing this and reading his UPROXX interview.. he is my favorite screenwriter. He's so smart and yet so down to Earth. It's not like he's a neurotic or super weird or over the top dorky personality. He's a wise man who knows how to tell a fkn amazing story. He inspires me because he's real af and honest about how he approaches his writing career. Kudos to him.

[@MrinmayChakravarty-jf4nr]

Yeah his personality his amazing

[@Patriot751]

Jeff Bridges character was very close to his partner, that teasing is what men do to each other, especially alpha males. His reaction to his partners death really says it all, he was so devestated. His character was more of a ball buster, not so much a racist.

[@iyah7319]

I wouldn't say he's the most talented but I definitely would see anything he is a part of.

[@TheBaconWizard]

iya h don't miss this film, it's incredibly good.

[@broheim23]

Taylor Sheridan's approach to life is an excellent model for how we should all live: some success, failure, learning a lesson or two, and then regrouping, which allows for even greater success. He has become, in my view, one of the most exciting story tellers in the business today for one simple reason: he writes what he knows and listens to the story. This interview is a Master Class that concisely explains how to become successful. 👍

[@cameronpatterson890]

The traveling in these films is something that made an impression on me. Those scenes separate the action while also giving more depth and background of the places we go in the films. The haunting echoes in Wind River, the banter between the sheriff's and brothers in Hell or Highwater, and the intense driving scenes in Sicario. They highlight the tension so well in my opinion!

[@lookoutsmithers2693]

Bloody good interview. What a legend bloke.

[@fergie2200]

Found his gift and we get the benefits of great stories told incredibly well ❤️

[@Boygonebad]

Such a simple yet brilliant movie “Hell or High Water” was.

[@RonsonJonson198]

Awesome interview. I cannot wait for Wind River. The fact that Sicario, Hell or High Water, and Wind River are a thematic trilogy makes them even greater films. (Hopefully Wind River is up to par with the previous films. I have a feeling it will be.)

[@barbarajoseph-adam8337]

“She ran six miles in the snow.” is a simple, honest, powerful line that manages to get me sobbing every single time I watched Wind River (close to ten times now). I’m infinitely glad Taylor Sheridan chose to move towards screenwriting and directing, much as I love his character on SoA. His stories, his dialogues.. all precious gems.

[@Nate1975]

1883 narrative is stunning writing

[@chucktopshee4516]

Great interview David Poland!

[@Southpaw_canvass]

His interviews are all pure gold as he provides a wealth of jnformm

[@BillyDee159]

Seems like a down to earth normal guy. He must have a big brain. He definitely has a feel for what people want to watch great storyteller Hell or Highwater is one of my favorite all-time films. I also think he’s done a tremendous job in Yellowstone. Class act.

[@pjj9491]

Great movie....great writer...love Taylor

[@rlugassy]

He's a cool guy , very inspiring, thanks

[@antoinesubitlescoups338]

A true honor to have seen and heard this interview. Thank you Mr Sheridan 😊

[@karadan100]

This man is fascinating.

[@curtiskretzer8898]

Truly.The way he wrote the big business parts of Yellowstone belies his background. Guy is genius w/indefatigable energy,drive & conviction about himself & his product

[@TheKineticDesigns]

Fucking hell, he wrote a final draft script in 3 weeks. thats nuts

[@nickbode5211]

And that script got an Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay. PS he’s never taken a screenwriting class ever.

[@EnterTheFenix]

I guess thats the difference between knowing a good story and wanting to tell it, rather than trying to manufacture a story from scratch in order to gain notoriety, like many today.

[@seancollins6524]

What a fantastic movie watch it 100 times great story great acting

[@johnaltman3322]

I had no idea that he wrote Sicario. Ive seen that movie 3 times and that is something that I normally would never do. I liked the movie because the plot was believable and the dialogue was always short and to the point. Most films today have long drawn out dialogues that no one would ever say in real life. Totally unbelievable.

[@Glimax]

I love all his stories. Yellowstone is awesome too! Can't wait to see his future projects.

[@jefferysmom696]

*Live on 290 here in Houston...I love his Movies...I do feel he walks a fine line (Politically)*

[@KSfan4ever]

Sicario and Hell or High Water are absolutely phenomenal films, both of which I love to watch over and over again. Not only the screenplay with interesting, in depth character arcs, but also the visuals, lighting, musical score, direction, and superb actors. Sicario Day of the Soldado - not so much, with the exception of the incredible Mr. Benicio Del Toro. The interviewer on this segment talks too much and talks over Mr. Sheridan. One nitpicking observation if Mr. Sheridan ever reads these comments: he refers to a "Litnus test" as in a very decisive and indicative test, but the correct word is "Litmus".

[@jeffreycraig7731]

Binge watching Yellowstone now .The formula Protagonist/Antagonist goes back to series Rich man poor man.back in early 70's.Just wanna say I'm a fan.

[@barbarajoseph-adam8337]

I’m looking forward to watching it, unfortunately I have to wait until the series is done. Hopefully they’ll maintain the quality throughout but with Mr. Sheridan at the helm that shouldn’t be a problem.

[@curtiskretzer8898]

& Once An Eagle

[@terricavoli7997]

Down to earth phenomenal storyteller ❤️Yellowstone

[@JerryDLTN]

Hadn't heard of him before Yellowstone but liked Sicario and Hell Or High Water and didn't know he wrote them

[@matthias1948]

Great Interview DP! Really enjoyed this pne

[@neilgin1]

Taylor is a gamechanger, kind of like a 21st century Milius....but different, just as 1970's Murica is different from these days....

[@iyah7319]

come hell or high water was a great film

[@johnnyaugustrossvegas9014]

Taylor is probably the best up and coming FileMaker out there definitely the best in the western game

[@seancollins6524]

Yellowstone ,1883 so so Good

[@Fealnographs1]

this guy reminds me of john steinbeck

[@joseluisgonzalez360]

i love you film. AH

[@notforone]

"No one's ever from LA" Chris Pine is from LA itself lol

[@curtiskretzer8898]

Pine's father was the Sgt from CHiPs

[@mecagoenlaluna]

Check the bug crawling on the right at 15:22

[@rabi8472]

😆😆😅

[@tysonbala]

😂😂

[@JerryDLTN]

He should redo a modern version of The Border (1982 film)

[@anthonycampos8057]

Its Hale from Sons of Anarchy

[@brentulstad3275]

I'd be very interested to see Taylor Sheridan work on another film within a similar vein to his past work, a dark dramatic-thriller/gritty-noir-western, but utilize subtle Scifi-horror elements . . . . Setting/location, atmosphere, etc. There seem to be a good amount of "Blade Runner" and The Like ''hopeful-wanna-be's'' that get released off & on, but fairly obvious rip-offs that lack quality & any originality. However, I think Taylor Sheridan's authentically grounded & unique approach could lend itself to some interesting provocative science fiction.

[@johnnyskinwalker4095]

It's a shame, he won't act anymore, I would cast him in a Indiana Jones relaunch. lol hey maybe he could write it too.

[@darkknightwithanidea1845]

Reporter offering his political take on a writers material. SERIOUSLY !!! WTF

[@johnnyskinwalker4095]

IKR

[@zeldasmith6154]

The interviewer is talking more than Taylor. Annoying. Taylor is having to fight to talk. Taylor is the focus. I hope Taylor is interviewed again by someone else.

[@tonytiger8451]

He's pretty "brilliant" as far as writing movies & westerns! I mean the proof is in the pudding! Paramount made ALOT of money $$ because of Sheridan!

[@mikepetersen9887]

Those who wish me dead, was not nearly as good as the formers.. his writing was still good, just horribly cast in my opinion, besides Jon Bernthal. His next script/movie gotta be better. He is on a level of greatness, but wont achieve it if we have another Those who wish me dead. That said, love his work.

[@allsystemsgo8678]

Casual racism very rarely leads to extreme racism. Everyone has some racism in them

[@charlesbyrd1957]
