Edward Norton - A Noir Look at New York City in “Motherless Brooklyn” | The Daily Show

[@finleyschofield7353]

I have Tourette's syndrome, and I went to see the movie. I just wanted to say, Edward Norton did an amazing job of portraying my condition. The way he ticced onscreen was extremely realistic. He got the way the tics look sort of jerky. He got the description of how it feels to tic, how it increases with stress, and beyond that he even went so far as to show the sort of emotional strain it takes in you. Lionel was self deprecating, always apologized for ticcing, and you could tell he almost hated himself for how he would tic stuff out and get in these difficult situations. They showed a very realistic portrayal of how people can give you hate for it, and the emotional strain it puts on you. So Edward, thank you for making this movie and representing us people with Tourette's out there. ♥️

[@lovecanis7701]

Ash My god...I really want him to see your comment. I'm sure this is one of the best praise he's gotten. Big hug to you. You're so strong.

[@alpharho1354]

Perhaps, the most talented and underrated actor in Hollywood: Edward Norton.

[@dianareid5661]

He's a fantastic actor!!!

[@lovemore4083]

He should have been casted in more movies than he already did but he seems to be very picky when choosing roles and may be that's why he is at his best while playing them.

[@alexiswinter6948]

What I always thought as well. He tops them all.

[@mehdibencaid6954]

The quality of stories went down and so respectable actors refuse stupid roles. He disapeared and then he came out with his own movie which is great!

[@Allagi22]

He's a highly acclaimed, very well reviewed, major actor in Hollywood. Yes he's selective in his roles, the same way DiCaprio is, but NO ONE would say he's underrated. The man is a living legend, and his talent was well established since his first film "Primal Fear". Ed Norton isn't some sleeper.

[@howiethao277]

I know this unrelated to the interview, itself, but I love that during the beginning of the interview, you could clearly hear Edward Norton stutter and pause for his thoughts (he was nervous) and I love that as the interview continued, Trevor was able to get him to relax and be comfortable and simply say what he wants to say. Amazing interview, I loved every bit of it.

[@iondistrip7998]

I thought the exact same thing...🤔🤓🙄

[@iondistrip7998]

I noticed it in Trevor's pace slowing down to help level Ed out but u cud still hear Trevor's quick witted mind being abit impatient as Edward is talking cuz you hear Trevor say uh huh like he wants him to pick up the pace a little bit but it's just that Trevor is such a quick thinker and seemingly always on his toes when it comes to being able to handle himself on such a big stage honestly he reminds me of that other POS who's also a quick thinker with a silver tongue mister Obama... but Trevor's on point that's for sure...

[@asdfzxcvqwert]

Motherless Brooklyn was such a great film. The way the beautiful soundtrack mirrors his frame of mind and tourettes was amazing!! So many beautiful shots that were artsy but with a purpose. This film was a great nod to film noir and detective novels. I had a deep craving for a nice glass of whiskey and cigar throughout the film; such a classy film with spectacular performances by all the cast!

[@OhHeyItsShan]

Edward Norton should have received an Oscar for American History X

[@iJSabelle007]

He was really good, I felt like the movie was short.

[@veronicaortiz-gil3169]

I just saw this movie for the first time and this is exactly what I thought as well!

[@lolitabubbles26]

Edward Norton did well with what he had. But it was not a great movie. It was written pretty badly and the director was trying to pull some shit he definitely had no skill doing. It was Norton's intervention (can't believe i'm saying this) that saved the movie. But honestly... its not that good and I just think people like it for the moral lesson and ignore everything else.

[@Lon.BedStuyforLife]

Yeeeessssss!!!

[@andreadaniel8792]

[@jeffreydershin5763]

I stumbled across the book "Motherless Brooklyn" some years ago and, being a native Brooklynite myself (from the mid-20th century, to be precise), I was curious as to what it was about. I love-love-loved the story, and am so excited that a talented guy like Edward Norton has turned it into a movie. Jonathan Lethem, the author, created a bunch of absolutely wonderful characters. I can't wait to see it!

[@dot8605]

The most underrated actor in the world. This man is a genius. I love that he seems to be a humble person too.

[@uwsgrrl2308]

I see every movie Edward Norton is in. My favorite is "Primal Fear" I saw "Motherless Brooklyn" & liked it a lot.

Edward Norton is mad amazing when acts. I love watching his movie American history X. It summarizes the new american history with racism in a movie project

[@redhotmoon1656]

I fell for Edward Norton as an actor when I first saw him in Primal Fear. The movie wasn't the best he's done but his acting in that movie was amazing.

[@Pontisusan7]

That was such a good movie. The ending really freaked me out.

[@PeachesCourage]

Primal Fear the bad guy was a sociopath who had fun killing The sociopath in MRIs have less than half a normal human brain actually Although a great memory and can be very clever I still believe they are cultivated by countries like ours Who eventually produce with so much war class system and indifference to children sociopaths epigenetics which is the chemistry now that affects all of us . Science is now saying we have a responsibility to understand that what we do truly does affect our children and their children etc. Epigenetics are the pages of your DNA eventually and your children are affected by it Is Autism from War over large periods of time with soooo many wars? Why is it predominantly male? Only taking a shot does this maybe not?

[@robhugh22]

What a refreshing interview and intelligence from Ed.

Even though the producers hated him for retooling the script, Edward Norton in my eyes will always be The Incredible Hulk.

[@alysiamerdavid-wasser9165]

All of the ppl commenting on how much Ed has "aged" are killing me. Aging IS something that happens to most ppl, so go back to kissing your mirrors, millennials. Norton is 50: if you're LUCKY, you'll have his hair at that age. 😘

[@alee9188]

Most millennials are in their 30s now. Please stop comparing gen z to millennials. Ok boomer!

@@alysiamerdavid-wasser9165 idk why people literally forget about us gen x'ers lol like what's up with that? Anyway I think Edward looks good for his age too, it's most likely the poor makeup job he received that is making him look older here.

[@alysiamerdavid-wasser9165]

@@SongofaBeach2012 Ikr? We've been [comically] nicknamed "America's middle child", so I think that's part of the reason why we're "forgotten", lol. Another reason could be that 30 y/o kids have just "blocked us" from their memories/convos. Staying "relevant" seems to be a worry that I've seen expressed through "sh*t posting jokes". Norton shares a Bday with Christian Slater: 8/18/69. They both just turned 50, & have won Golden Globe Awards. Our generation has proven that it's possible to exceed "relevancy"-to actually be successful at it-AND to look good while doing it. I can only imagine how threatening that might feel to younger gens who view faces through filters & apps. 💗

The first rule of Ed Norton is you do NOT talk about Ed Norton.

[@thesoundsmith]

Fusion is the soul of growth. "Mash-ups" paying attention to the qualities of each "mashee" creates opportunities for new grooves, new vectors, new rhythms - and a new way of examining old traditions, which we need right now. Edward Norton is a brilliant actor, his directing will be on par.And NOT to be confused with Jackie Gleason's partner-in-crime, as some seem to be doing.
