One of the best movies I ever watched. It was very raw and haunting afterwards.

could you like explain the movie to me politically or just what it means to you? just wanna gather different opinions 😊

Me too.

OMG! An interview with Ondaatje and Anthony Minghella? This is really delightful. Thank you for this upload.

[@pam0626]

It’s so fascinating that Michael started his grand story with just images in his head.

[@slyeung6562]

A great interview ! RIP Director Anthony Minghella.

and always the idiot commenter rushing in to note any deaths. why why why

[@deanhun9796]

Both the book and the film are masterpieces.

Yes but, wondered by the count had sex with Kathryn after she was dead. Necrophilia isn't a fetish, it's a perversion. I was just wondering

I’ve just discovered Michael Ondaatje’s writing, as well as three other authors. I’m in book heaven.

Awesome upload they both are the greatest ever. Thanks for sharing. So rare to see together in one interview. 🙂👍

[@boohoo2948]

I loved watching this movie when it came out. The image of the sandstorm scene is hard to erase from your memory once you've seen it. It's the quintessential romantic moment you want at some point in your life. Every minute of this interview was enjoyable from beginning to end. You could really tell that the writer and director collaborated well to create this masterpiece.

[@ozodbodshamol-shimoli5937]

Let me tell you about the winds. It sounds like kee words, like a parol. But have you watched a piece about "catching of ostrich" which wasn't included to the movie? Mmmmmm!

Absolument prodigieux . Un Classic du cinema grâce a ces deux génies. Merci de tout coeur. Du fait d'avoir entendu ces deux hommes parler de leur oeuvre me donne de plus en plus envie de regarder le film, de relire le livre et d'écouter des audio tapes. Film vu si souvent, le dialogue fuse de lui même a chaque vue. Sunshine Coast. BC Canada

Huge respect for both of them.

R.I.P Anthony Minghella, My hero!

[@RC19786]

a pleasure to listen to these guys for a movie that made history at the Oscars....

[@aruiz90]

I just finished reading the book and while I haven't seen the film in quite some time, I was surprised how different they were. You definitely got the sense that film sweetened things a bit for a wider audience but that's generally how it goes.

[@langkanai]

These two gents are brilliant

[@sallyb1689]

RIP Anthony Minghella, a talent taken too soon. I wish the interviewer didn't butcher pronouncing Almasy. The characters of the film say it several times if he'd paid attention.

[@IlGattonero13]

Fantastic to see the brilliant Michael Ondaatje and Anthony Minghella together, but the self-involved Rose isn't worthy of the interview (as usual). He mispronounces "Almasy" several times, forgets Kristin Scott Thomas's name, and cuts MO and AM off as they try to answer questions. What a buffoon.

[@transcendcapitalism]

If only Charlie Rose wasn't in all these interviews done by Charlie Rose.

[@theotheoth]

I saw the film at the cinema when it was released, but not until this last week -- on a beach -- did i get round to reading the novel (despite a beautiful woman with whom I had a very brief affair 15+ years ago being quite aghast that I hadn't read it, her favourite novel). I re-watched the film as soon as I came home. That's quite some adaptation, and this interview is very enlightening to what must have been a daunting process. I feel both novel and film work so well as individual entities and in parallel.

[@samanthaesra4035]

Brilliant guys.

[@mariettewarris7923]

Anthony Minghella is just amazing with his brilliant ideas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@figurine8122]

He was an incurable romantic ❤❤❤

[@lilianafrincu1355]

Ce oameni minunati! O carte si un film pentru eternitate. Pacat ca Minghella ne-a parasit, ar mai fi avut atatea de spus, de creat. Dintr-o carte buna iese un film exceptional daca " pica " pe mana unui regizor ca Minghella. Multumesc pentru incantarea de a vedea un asemenea film.

Wow lovely movie Michel and Minghella❤

[@anthonyscully2998]

It would be interesting to know how Michael feels about the movie concentrating on the English characters instead of the ethnic characters

[@asedition8847]

Just a beautiful book….devastating

He also buried a bunch of scripts and shelved movies because it would hurt his and his brother’s personal profits.

What's your last wish? Have couple of beer's with these guys.

[@LedbetterBen]

It is such a pity that an interview with two literary giants, which hinges so clearly on being able to watch excerpts from the film being discussed, has had those excerpts taken away from us. The excerpts of course WERE allowed in the original, public showing of the interview. What an extraordinary act of selfishness on the part of whatever power brokers claiming to “own” these scenes. Shame on you.

[@figurine8122]

I posted the links to some of the excerpts mentioned in the intervew.
