Paul Thomas Anderson interviewed by Simon Mayo

[@GiantSandles]

I know he doesn't make films that often but it's pretty absurd how consistently good he's been for the past 20+ years now

[@shelleyscloud3651]

Probably my fav director.

[@tannerlacoste8506]

Def mine!

[@Texus8]

Thank you for this! I could listen to PTA talk forever man, what a genius

[@plasticvision]

seeing him introduce phantom thread at the southbank centre next week. cannot wait

[@eustacequinlank7418]

Greenwood's acceptance speech: mumbled "Thanks" walks off stage. He's great, he was always the best part of Radiohead for me. I hope he wins just to see him in a tuxedo/cardigan combo too.

[@ultra7021]

Damn I would have never imagined that he would sound like such a down to earth/simple guy. Really a nice interview

[@LupeJustinian]

ultra dostoyevsky that's Paul for you

[@tuanjim799]

+Betty 19th century***

[@ultra7021]

Tuan Jim thank you

[@tuanjim799]

+Betty Don't be sorry, just get it right goddamn it. lol jk

[@tuanjim799]

lol

[@ashraykotian1]

Kind of surprised Kermode wasnt there given his level of fanboying over PTA

[@UltimateKyuubiFox]

They probably deemed it a liability.

[@MartinQMurphy]

Fantastic interview

[@rynglbrt_]

why are all the videos on this channel really quiet? people bring it up all the time yet they are ignored - boosting the volume in the editing software takes about 10 seconds so just do it

[@lucanreynolds1341]

Ryan Completely agree

[@Paperbagman555]

Truth. They're in a radio station with proper mics I don't understand it lol

[@davequenville7186]

Seriously

[@danieljamesmead]

I’m literally sat on the bus pushing my headphones into my ears and still can’t hear it

[@Carlos-ln8fd]

Greenwood should have been nominated for Inherent Vice!

[@Carlos-ln8fd]

Kyle McLachlan yeah what a great injustice

[@Kemster79]

Nice interview. Great, great film.

[@TP_Gillz]

Huge PTA fan, even bigger DDL fan, and even bigger still Johnny Greenwood fan. These 3 need to get back together. PTA, here these words, "Write it, and he will come...." Get him out of retirement please!!!!

[@acidarrow]

Is it just me or does Day-Lewis sound just like Richard E. Grant in this?

[@UlrichUlrich]

sound very low!

[@lankeymarlon]

too quiet

[@claude1918]

Great film, but there is one apparent weakness: Almas motivations. What is her background? What are (or were) her aspirations and ambitions in life? Not to be waitress forever, I suppose. And if she had some aspirations and dreams, as most people have, how did she came to leave them so easily after meeting Reynolds?

[@claude1918]

@Rachel M Well if she didn't have them then the script should have pointed it out somehow. Now it just feels to me that her character was not thought through enough. There is an interview of PTA (can't exactly remember which one) on youtube where the first question asked from him concerns Almas background. PTA just doesn't understand it at all and can't answer anything. A bit embarassing.

[@ColombianThunder]

@@claude1918 can you link the interview? I always just assumed that she really didn't have aspirations until she met Reynolds. There's also the fact that she's telling the story and is essentially uninterested in her life without him. Therefore why she never explains where she came from.

[@ladytr0n]

I think you put he finger on something deeper here. I'm afraid that the movie is actually quite misogynistic without being aware of it and this aspect is part of it. I mean, PTA can't actually answer why Reynolds was attracted to Alma (06:20). Then after much pause initially "she is cute to look at, she is beautiful, she stumbles, she blushes" and then it moves to "the relationship becomes a match". Quite telling really. If that is still considered "love" that is quite sad and outdated really.

"For sure." You can take the boy out of the (San Fernando) Valley, but you can't take the Valley out of the boy.
