Masterclass William Friedkin

[@sonpham32]

A great storyteller. RIP William Friedkin

[@JuneH-j8p]

The Exorcist is as good as Citizen Kane. Oh yeah. Mr Friedkin made the greatest Horror Movie in the history of Cinema.

this guy is approaching 87 and talks so eloquent still trying to meet him before his passing

[@Hritik9000]

Did you had the chance to meet him?

[@jayyavid5363]

@@Hritik9000 sadly not ! Heard he passed recently !

[@Hritik9000]

@@jayyavid5363 yeah it was sad to hear the news.

I really like Mr Friedkin's syle of directing. He is from that great generation of filmmakers that include Coppola, Scorsese, De Palma, and Spielberg among others. He was a great visionary, and I can't image anyone else directing The Exorcist and the way that he handled that material. Bill Blatty made a great choice by picking him to translate his novel to the screen

Certainly, Jangir is not just a movie, but a new beginning in cinema and in cinema elements such as: create space The complexities of the plot Dramatization Soundtrack Adaptation Strong content Viewing Angle And diversity in the genre, which puts several genres within one genre, and genres such as psychological and parapsychological, and neo-crime tapes into one genre. It is safe to say that it is the final battle against the classic Hollywood cinema and a new beginning in the post-classical Hollywood cinema and the evolution of the genre and elements of cinema all over the world. It can be said that the film script created a new chapter in the screenwriting technique that the aftershocks of this screenwriting model can be felt so far.

When mr. Friedkin teaches a class you know you are learning from a master. Thanks for the amazing chat! Best regards from Brazil!

Well said mate, from the UK.

William Friedkin est passionnant à écouter et Philippe Rouyer pose de très bonnes questions. Ça fait plaisir d'entendre un critique de cinéma aussi passionné et calé.

[@hou3455]

Merci ! Un des plus grands réalisateurs et une belle personne.

[@questionitall3053]

The newer, extended directors cut of “The Exorcist” is my favourite film of ALL time. I remember being scared out of my wits in 1974, at 13 years old, having sneeked into the cinema to watch The Exorcist. It stayed with me for years afterwards.

Miss this man!

Thank you so much!

Thankyou for uploading this, much appreciated.

[@questionitall3053]

This is fantastic. If I ever get the chance to make my own film, Billy Freidkin is 1 of the directors I would study first, along with Hitchcock.

[@daleshackleford1389]

ewww, you film school hack

[@billjones8503]

Absolutely fascinating, realistic, & humble man! His theological & philosophical grounding of life are deep & real. 💚

[@ankanghosh5272]

The best director to create cinamtic tension...I have never seen such bold guy who can show NY City gay club and their interim functions ...even till today.

In tribute, watch Friedkin's favorite film, Sorcerer, his hidden masterpiece on the mystery of fate.

[@andragg]

I very eager to watch Sorcerer when I read about it in a review. I loved The French Connection and The Exorcist, and the review mentioned that the music score used Keith Jarrett's pipe organ album "Hymns and Spheres", an album I already owned and Tangerine Dream, who I also loved. I knew it would be a great film, but it surpassed my expectations. It's one of the greatest films of all time. The ending was one of the best scenes. My friends and I speculated that Roy Scheider's character, Jackie Scanlon, gets killed. But after many years of watching it, I imagined an alternate ending. The 2 Hit Men do not whack him because the bar was filled with people including some policemen, and he's a hero with the whole town caring about him (as Friedkin mentioned in this interview). Plus the fact that Scanlon just received $40,000, which he uses to make a deal with the 2 hit men to leave him alone and Scanlon is still stuck there in that crappy town with no money.

Damn! It isn’t in English! Maybe one day when I feel like reading. Love me some Friedkin, RIP.

[@salvadordalinian1986]

I hope Mr. Friedkin can film his Citizen Kane before the Cinema God takes him to Film Nirvana...

[@charleswinokoor6023]

He refers to the Movie God. But really it was all a result of his talent, some good luck and opportune timing.

[@charleswinokoor6023]

He says they did 36 takes the first day they tried shooting the scene where Hackman and Scheider chase the drug suspect. That’s almost unbelievable considering that it involved a strenuous and extended foot chase. And when Friedkin says Hackman’s character roughed up the suspect after they catch up to him, it’s worth remembering that the suspect had also just slashed Scheider’s character on the arm with a knife. So it’s not surprising that Popeye Doyle was a little “rough.” What is somewhat surprising is that Friedkin had to goad Hackman to be more aggressive and rougher in his portrayal of Doyle. Hackman, after all, before pursuing acting was a U.S. Marine. One other thing. I don’t speak French, but I think the interviewer did a fine job.

[@questionitall3053]

Stanley Kubrick had just done “Clockwork Orange” and was caught up in the controversy of all that, when “The Exorcist” film was first conceived.

[@Destro_888]

Even his lless consistent movies are interesting... rampage is mental.

I bet Gene didn't have much trouble getting angry in Mississippi Burning. He was hunting racists instead of playing them.
