Paul Verhoeven talks about real life

[@martijn130370]

Paul Verhoeven is very interesting to listen to, and his movies are very daring and true to life. I hope we will see some more God films from him!

[@MaxwellEindhoven]

In this three hour interview he also mentioned he is a huge fan of Rammstein. There was a clip of the show in Nimes where "French people loudly sing along with the German lyrics", which he found very funny. That the history of both nations was wiped away with the music of Rammstein. :D Anyway there must be a way to see the whole broadcast somewhere. The show is called Zomergasten and is three hours long.

[@gast128]

Don't forget that Paul Verhoeven studied physics, so he knows what he is talking about.

[@Keyser666]

Dr. Verhoeven might be the most intelligent person to ever direct a Hollywood science fiction movie, second only to Kubrick probably.

[@sodapopinsky87]

+N. Pike i love robocop but exeeds 2001 too? mmmhh....

[@sodapopinsky87]

+Keyser Soze totally agree

[@sodapopinsky87]

i m agree.... are totally diferent styles of films and filmmakers, just say in science fiction movies for me 2001 still's being the best, but also love robocop, total recall, starship troopers, even SHOWGIRLS :P paul verhoeven and stanley kubrick are my favorites filmmakers of all times,

[@oJoJo]

Kubrick smokes weed and thinks it's special, Verhoeven is Dutch

[@TheMavericktheone]

for sure!!

[@harrychalcraft6371]

I was born in 1988. I feel that I was placed on this earth to work with you on a certain film Mr Verhoeven.

[@harrychalcraft6371]

I will work completely for free. Please let me help make your film, however I can help Mr. Verhoeven. I appreciate your work so much.

[@harrychalcraft6371]

I have bought your book and I fucking love what you did in Hollywood! but unfinished!

[@harrychalcraft6371]

You are an extremely smart person. I have your book, yes you are right! but who really cares? haha.

[@harrychalcraft6371]

3:02 This is truth. Nothing to be scared of or ashamed of. Let's talk.

[@sixamsedna]

@GUIntern thank you so much for your work, I appreciate this! I love Verhoeven too bad he makes movies once in a couple of years now

[@Sportmanfun]

Pity I will never have a talk with Paul. He is the first person that thinks exactly the same about what is behind our death. And especially that it mighy get even worse,instead of nothing.Therefore I hope there will be nothing. Just nothing, so also not "floating around"in space in total solitary with feelings.Brrr. Man what a sick and cruel phenomania this life. Very depressing thoughts also.

[@danomanno747]

thankyou:). Verhoeven - fascinating guy as always.

[@zimonslot]

it's on isohunt, but probably without English subtitles. He has a biography out though, (book) maybe it's available in English/iTunes..

[@harrychalcraft6371]

"To me it's not only beauty but also the destructive part, I could not only see beauty while there is so much more going on! If you are not willing to see that then go get your forehead cleaned"

[@harrychalcraft6371]

It's certainly a waste of time but I'm sure he see's it as important

[@harrychalcraft6371]

OK I added the last part

[@GUIntern]

@JacobAshcroft The subtitels are now completed for this youtube.

[@SamanthaKroeger]

Nog een keer Paul.

[@xXxCatsnakexXx]

@GUIntern Could you add them... it would be awesome! :)

[@harrychalcraft6371]

0:37 I would say, We all die, it is a fact of life, there is no denying it. We will all meet our maker. If I could give something of warmth abouth death it would be a question; do you remember what life was like before you were born? No? Do you remember what life is like while you sleep without dreaming? No? That is death. The people who are dead don't know they're dead! They're just sleeping. And all forever... May they and WE one day rest.

[@harrychalcraft6371]

Personally, I want my brain frozen with some money in my mouth to put my conciousness into a program, it'll happen one day.

[@harrychalcraft6371]

They'll look back on this comment in the year 3000 and say, yeah! This guy was right!

[@harrychalcraft6371]

BRB need to look into head freezing.

[@sixamsedna]

thanks man. unfortunately not until I learn Dutch will I be able to understand what they're talking about had I seen the entire thing. But thanks for this excerpt. I guess you can say he's obsessed with death as a theme in his life, but then we all possess certain levels of idiosyncrasies. I like him, can't wait to see how Entertainment Experience turns out, not to mention his next film - whatever it may be.

[@harrychalcraft6371]

Yes, like living in denial I suppose, to obsessively focus on my work instead of thinking about death too much. To protect my own autonomy. During such a creative process I don't tend to think about the cruel death in our universe that often. It is a coping mechanism of mine to protect myself against getting into a state of psychosis. Reconsidering my contributes to this universe and give it all back in the end would be one of the logical options. While another option would be an afterlife that brings us ten times more hell than what we experiences on earth. I don't suppose the Human Race would have so many ideas about Hell without any reason, no? The dreams we discussed earlier about my visions of hell are as real to me as they can get. They show a much more dreadful universe with so much pain, nothing on earth could match these drastic proportions. You might better start hoping that there would be no afterlife at all. Yes, I believe that there is nothing that comes afterward. And after all this shit, at least I don't have to think about this crap when I'm making a movie.

[@zimonslot]

whole broadcast was 3 hours long, due to copyrights it was only broadcasted once. Bottomline is that he is pretty disturbed.... almost insane if you ask me.. The man is a genius however, so it comes with the territory.

[@harrychalcraft6371]

Image result for interlocking your fingers Holding hands while interlocking fingers denotes an innate closeness. When a couple holds hands with their fingers entwined and palms facing forward, that's a sign they have "a very intimate connection," body language expert Traci Brown told Elite Daily.30 Jan 2020

[@sixamsedna]

is there a rip of this broadcast? I am huge fan of Verhoeven, there's very little of interviews like that that get inside his head. As you say; disturbed, I'm interested in finding out more about this.

[@sixamsedna]

is there a part to, it just seems to cut! id love to see the rest

[@GUIntern]

@JacobAshcroft > I will update the subtitles this weekend.

[@harrychalcraft6371]

What a naive interviewer, really brings the discussion down when he tries to discount Verhoeven's enthusiasm and interest in the destruction and chaos of the universe which its foundations are built upon.

[@harrychalcraft6371]

6:08 Verhoeven has already read Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, this is nothing new

[@BlueCollar850]

Do I believe in hell? Yes I do. But I believe God is fair and if a person goes to hell the punishment fits the crime.

[@Edie007]

Pff, leuk geknipt en geplakt filmpje, maar heb je niet de volledige uitzending in z'n geheel? ;) nietwaar..

[@harrychalcraft6371]

WOULD THIS BE SOMETHING YOU COULD RECOGNIZE IN YOURSELF!?

[@harrychalcraft6371]

Supergrass

[@SergeyOboroc]

Even if I’m life long fan of his earthly accomplishments, now finding out about his views on the afterlife, I would not want to be in his skin anymore.

[@harrychalcraft6371]

woof

[@harrychalcraft6371]

KAPUPT!!! LOL

[@harrychalcraft6371]

11:39 That's what the human race was birthed by; conflict and destruction; Are you aware of the caveman era?

[@lepetitchat123]

Woody Allen discussed all these themes before, and better. BTW, Any antinatalist here?

[@pepijnstreng4643]

It's not a contest, calm down.

[@zimonslot]

I was surprised how disturbed he actually is, by death, by the war, by Jesus... he really needs to see a psychiatrist.

[@koendevriendt6120]

are you really that simpel your comment suggests? remarkable.

[@SergeyOboroc]

I understand that he has a PhD in mathematics and he’s a notorious Hollywood movie director but his views over the afterlife are painfully poor and deplorable I would say.

[@ReneAltena]

He studied Mathematics and Physics at Leiden University in the Netherlands and obtained his MSc title there. This title is abbreviated 'drs' in the Netherlands, which is NOT a PhD. So sorry to say it is not 'dr Verhoeven', but drs Verhoeven (dutch) or Verhoeven MSc (english).
