Angelina Jolie, Christopher Nolan and more Directors on THR's Roundtable | Oscars 2015

[@orangewarm1]

that's true. its also true that everything he does is derivative of something else.

I get it that the interviewer has to keep the conversation going with new questions but it's really frustrating when one of the directors is saying something interesting and he just interrupts. I like the more natural conversations that the directors carry and I enjoy their questions more than the mundane questions the interviewer asks.

[@jakedee507]

Agreed. Incredibly rude and, as a result, uninformative.

[@speedy3702]

I already knew that this would happen when I realized that Stephen Galloway was the host. They should have always Matthew Belloni conducting the roundtables.

[@AcademyAwardsPerson]

I hate to say this, but they're getting worse every year. A few years ago, they used to be over and hour with no interruption. Now they're under 50 minutes, they keep interrupting the flow of the conversation to show us clips we've already seen AND the interviewer keeps interrupting.

[@b82b14]

I think the main reason is that the purpose of this roundtable is not really to have meaningful discussion about filmmaking, but more for them to create snippet 1-2 minute videos which can be shared on blogs and facebook. It is kind of sad, but I see where they are coming from

[@speedy3702]

[@dirrtyrulez]

Angelina Jolie is a great example for why there need to be more female directors with different intentions, different approaches and different visions and world views. I love her thoughts and motives for making film, it is truly refreshing to see someone speak from their heart. There are great things to come from Angelina Jolie, I can tell.

[@maxholt4529]

By the sea was shit

[@andreboy1]

Except her movies have been total crap and the other directors here were bored as hell when she would rant.

[@scamrasc]

no - angelina jolie is a perfect example of how money talks in providing short cuts into elusive fields so long as you're famous enough without ever having to do an inch of work in actually bothering to learn anything required for the skill set or having a modicum of natural talent, just so you can get a PR and ego boost, while thousands of hardworking, genuinely passionate, talented female directors are frozen out because they aren't a famous name. jolie has no talent for directing. her "projects" have been terrible and colossal money bleeding flops. what's worse is she has NO impetus to learn - they're vanity projects and nothing more. just listen to her speak........she's not talking about directing. she's barely talking about anything! long, incoherent ramblings about her children's fire and our inner strength...until mike has enough and straight up comes out with, "yeah, but are you a good *director* though?" her presence here is embarrassing.

[@jaxommm]

Really? Her movie fucking sucked.

[@adamgordon6435]

That's probably true of Clint Eastwood and Robert Redford too, but then they directed a lot more movies because they were good at it.

[@3thaly]

Angelina jolie seems to be the only person to be able to honestly answer the question about ethics and raises some great points in doing so. I think it was super brave of her to join this round table being a new director, and it was refreshing to hear her influences behind film making - her reasons were quite noble and you can definitely tell that she is telling these stories because she feels that it is her purpose to do so. Maybe it is because she is new to directing that her views are almost idealistic but I do think part of it is because she is a women and a mother and that she is able to bring an alternate perspective, one which hollywood often seriously lacks.

[@PurushaDesa]

Yeah that's a great moment when Nolan sees how passionate she is about film when she's seen that early Sidney Lumet movie he thought few others have.

Nolan: "What I believe is going to give the audience the best experience possible" very important words from Nolan. You can see in all his movies that he really knows how to make the movie an experience, that's why so many people love him. He's a brilliant filmmaker

[@chadross1750]

He's hands down the best blockbuster director currently working, maybe ever. But I don't really consider that accolade to be one of a great filmmaker. He's ambitious and great at spectacle and effects, but not when it comes to writing, characters, or emotional resonance. If I could I'd have him make nearly every disaster and epic action flick but not much more.

[@marceloariassouto8545]

Richard Linklater and Mike Leigh's comments are the best of this roundtable. I think they're the only remarkable filmmakers there: writers and directors who actually have something to say about the everyday life of ordinary people, and the world we live in. The best moment is when Leigh acknowledges Boyhood as an achievement at 18:30: "Wow, that is such a great idea. No one could beat that."

[@chadross]

few tips. Do 90 minute interviews. Do it with three guests. Plan for a few questions to start it off but let the CONVERSATION flow. Have some backup questions ready when the conversations comes to a still. Have a theme within a theme. So invite directors but have a theme you are going to talk about, like the collaboration with the writers of the scripts or book they are adapting. So you can do more roundtable director interviews with other directors and other themes but still about their new project. Then have a more warm setting. Like a living room that is straight out of a movie. Build it as a set but on location would be better with a view over LA. Do less cutting. More close ups. Get B Roll from their projects so you can cut with it. POINT is we want the learn more about these people so let them do the talking and do not interrupt!

I love listening to Linklater talk about films and how he started, especially when you have people like Nolan talking about they started at 8 but Richard didnt start til early 20's. I suppose I can relate more to Linklater in that respects. Still, I dont get the hate on Nolan, he has made some outstanding films, and even though Interstellar got some hate I really enjoyed it

[@MM-hk4pb]

As soon as a director like him (who is acclaimed but moves through the "mainstream" arena) starts getting even more popular, an increasing amount of people start being nitpicking because they may have preconceived notions about things that have a wider appeal. Nolan has had his flaws but so have every director in history but some folks can be more strict when evaluating projects with a broader audience and that are supposed to be good films although they don’t see them as such for many reasons (as the aforementioned ones) like with Nolan’s films. Now, Interstellar was praised but yes, there was a certain amount of criticism which a few have valid points but others were far stretched. Anyways, this won’t change in the foreseeable future because humans always tend to find something to be complaining about, not matter if it’s good or bad. I mean, Parasite was considered "underrated" but as soon as it got more recognition like from the Oscars, it began to become "overrated" amongst some people. And on and on it goes.

[@govegan562]

interstellar what about you?

[@govegan562]

and yo btw i was listing the people in this video from best to worst. this isnt my favorite directors list or anything

[@govegan562]

***** yes

[@govegan562]

***** whats your favorite movie of all time??

[@leonkane8570]

I love Mike Leigh 33:11 :)

[@filmnewsreport3231]

I know right.

[@Nozthedon1]

Clearly Nolan has more interest with everyone on the table.

[@marceloariassouto8545]

My favorite parts of this are Richard Linklater and Mike Leigh's comments. Actually, they're the only remarkable filmmakers in that roundtable: they're writers and directors who actually have something to say about the everyday life of ordinary people, and the world we live in. The best moment is when Leigh acknowledges Boyhood as an achievement at 18:30: "Wow, that is such a great idea. No one could beat that."

[@kierancurtis5123]

Nolan is one of the greatest ever nevermind on this table

[@GUNpowderBIRD]

Lmao i guess u didn't see mr.nolan

[@SheridanODonnell]

Quickly reading through some comments, and since I didn't see anything, I gotta say it's so good to see Mike Leigh at this roundtable. Everything he said about the craft--spot on, and spoken with intelligence, class and wit. Even his storytelling ability when he explained the first time he saw a film had me hooked. It was great to see everyone at the table listening intently when he spoke, knowing a real master was talking. For anyone interested in his films, I highly suggest "Naked". A really incredible film.

[@loveableswampwitch]

I think Nolan should have headed this interview because I can't stand this interviewer.

[@scarrillo232]

the fact that i can watch Richard Linklater and Christopher Nolan talk about movies with eachother is INCREDIBLE

[@chrisjames1924]

Jesus Christ that intolerable interviewer AGAIN at 31:03! I'm off to see if he has a twitter account to give him a few pointers

[@SharenaS616]

This was one of the better roundtables. I really enjoyed it. It was nice to see support from each director instead of the egotistic atmosphere.

[@marisoldiazhernandez1043]

Love Angelina she talks we listen!

[@cometito1980]

Thats because angelina is a work in progress director, and she is rounded one the very best its intimidating but a good experiense for her

[@rishwiz9]

Nolan seems to genuinely like and admire Linklater. I have never seen him so intrigued by anyone else.

[@resurrectionist1]

The awkward moment when you realize that among all these great filmmakers, Angelina Jolie is the only Oscar winner amongst them :p

[@Krispymanbligity]

She's an actor not a director

[@rakadoni8403]

@@Krispymanbligity She's both, she's directed several films

[@liammcnulty1987]

Not for directing.

[@Timmyjl25]

Nolan has 10. Googl. Or they mean the actors in his films

[@jacklindvall]

I clicked on this video thinking that I look at Angelina as one of the characters she had played or as an actor in general but she really felt like a director in this interview and like she thoroughly belonged at this table.

[@SeanFinnegan]

Okay, I'm at 33:26 now and all of the directors just turned on the moderator when he bluntly interrupts Bennett Miller when he's in the middle of laying down the philosophy that drives his sense of ethics when it comes to representing historical characters. Seriously, let me moderate this panel. I'm frustrated because these roundtables, generally, are so well produced and moderated and the discussion is so lively and interesting. It's a conversation, not a Q&A where we have to make sure we get through 40+ people lined up at two different microphones.

[@AmericazGotTalentYT]

"Angie, are you a deviant?" The question he had been waiting to ask his entire career.

[@ncole5736]

I'm sure Galloway thinks he's grilling the directors with challenging questions, but "Would you ever hold a gun up to an actor's head?" Seriously? What kind of interesting answer were you hoping to get from that one?

[@Lunabandit]

Unbroken is sO GOOD!!!! went into it for my love of Garrett Hedlund and I stayed for the story

[@AleynaSeymen]

25:22 how rude he interrupted her sentence

[@OusHKapoW]

Aleyna is

[@WalterLiddy]

ANd then he interrupted Mike Leigh in the middle of making a point. I swear he doesn't listen and just states his next question when a timer tells him to or something. Constantly cutting people off when they're being interesting.

[@beachstreet101]

He does that at all his round tables.

[@timbolicous]

You can just tell Linklater is a beautiful human being and would be an awesome friend.

[@imyoubutbalder]

Good to see so many accomplished directors in the comment section.

[@TomCFC8]

I'd be fine with Galloway getting fired.

[@Redwoodtree34567]

Lol.Ikr.

[@jbsosbj]

Christopher Nolan is a much better moderator than Stephen

[@rafikmandal3147]

Oh shut up stop comparison your dumb badass effect circular irty just modify your thoughts 😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜

[@TheJereld]

I like Bennett. Haven't seen his films. But I like that he stuck up for Angie.

[@mychemicalz]

Unbroken was a great film props to Angeline Jolie for that, quite impressive.

[@jaxommm]

It was a pile of steaming shit.

[@frankenstien6925]

jaxommm nah man it was an unbroken pile of shit!!

[@Selenite11]

Frank Enstien Like anything this woman does.

[@mrmichaelgeorge]

I don't know the other ones. I only know Angelina Jolie and the fact that she is a great actor, great director and an even better mom.

[@brodierule5373]

I wish this was: christopher Nolan, Terrence Malik, Wes Anderson, david Fincher, Alejandro I, and ridley Scott with Tarantino

[@PinoyHyungParkNguyen]

Terrence Malick will never come out of hiding unless he's convinced no one will watch his movie if he doesn't

[@brodierule5373]

TheMythofSissyFuss lol true, knight of cups does look pretty good though

[@rjsam26]

Nolan the first one who spoke!! Most Deserving as well

[@Extreme3azoz]

Richard Linklater is such a great director.

[@MsSweetBibi]

Aaagh! Christopher Nolan! Finally! ☺️

[@gol_9]

17:20 its hysterical for me how Richard Linklater talking and gesturing looks like Mac from Its Always Sunny
