JOHN FORD Rare interview (1965)

[@vestibulate]

Ford never admitted he was an artist. Which is all he ever was.

[@Ochenter]

Coolest man on earth ever. Love him and his movies; wish we still had more guys like him.

[@braziliantvhd2768]

The fact that he despises TV commercials make me admire him that much more

[@analauratorrespaz3345]

I love the way he answered the questions 😄❤

Can't believe this guy created The Simpsons

[@abelmanriquezmachuca4730]

Solo lo conocía a través de sus películas; ignoraba que era tan singular y absoluto con sus apreciaciones y acciones. Por eso, entiendo ahora, con fragmentos de sus películas, los estudios hasta llegaban a filmarlas de nuevo a cargo de otros directores y las incluían en el montaje final, pero sin los créditos del otro. De seguro que Ford una vez hecho su trabajo no modificaba nada, aunque los ejecutivos de los estudios exigieran un cambio.

This guy looks like Matt Groening.

Actually, I believe Ford was telling the truth and don’t believe Ford is pretending. There is another interview where Ford was describing the very beginning of the movie business. I was fascinated until the interviewer interrupted, changed the subject to politics and it went down hill from there. It was an opportunity lost. No wonder Ford gets testy. The news people want controversy and think that must be what they’re taught in school.

I find it hard to believe that Ford wasn't over enthusiastic about his great films like Stagecoach and The Searchers, or was this just bullshit. Whatever, he was a wonderful director and a great character.

I know that Lynch did an excellent job in the Fablemans, but if I had to choose a man - another director who also acted, by the way - to play old John Ford, it would've been Dan O'Bannon. The resemblance in their attitude, gestures, tone of voice is uncanny.

“There’s never been a successful remake.” That stands true today.

[@miguelalonsolavandero2190]

Well, he made a remake of one of his own movies, and it was pretty damn good.

It’s clear and pretty obvious why it’s a rare interview 😂🤣 John Ford punched the “Prosecutor” by the end!
