Pinocchio director Guillermo del Toro on the joy of hand-crafted animation | BFI in Conversation

[@alexalexis7899]

I love that whoever was bleeping the “fucks” was obviously enthralled with Guillermo’s take on AI that they missed one. Fucking perfect.

'Ai has demonstrated it can make semi-compelling screen savers' Love this!

He's wrong AI art can look seriously amazing!!

@@ghosthunter7496 He said exactly like what you said, it can look amazing... as a screensaver.

Guillermo del Toro's thoughts and philosophies on fatherhood, especially in Pinocchio, are so illuminating to me as a person who looks forward to being a parent. I feel like I will take many of them with me as I age. Especially the concepts of disobedience as liberation, and the differences between fairy tales that serve as domestication and fairy tales that serve as liberation. Great interview! Thank you to BFI and Guillermo del Toro for this wonderful hour out of my day.

I connect so much with his viewpoints on art. So lucky to have him out there making great works time and time again.

Due to health issues, I have been thinking a lot about life, especially what I can write for my children to help them live their own lives. I have been looking for a modern philosopher that I shared similar views with, and it turns out it's been Guillermo Del Toro this whole time. He says so many great things in this interview.

[@zenfushi]

Guillermo is the man, best wishes!

[@luisguerrero7239]

LOVE Guillermo, thank you so much for uploading this.

[@plungecastnz]

Love this interview. As a storyteller and comic book creator, I strive for emotional connection between my characters and the reader. One thing AI does not contain is the human element ie human emotional connection. Those who use it in literature or in my field comic books, is that they want to leave out the human connection while stealing from human artists scraping their lives work and passion to create more trash devoid of human emotion and creativity.

[@swarmengine7323]

I really can't wait for The Buried Giant movie! Del Toro and Ishiguro together is a dream 😍

[@joeyaudiffred375]

Can’t wait for his Frankenstein film

Del Toro is one of my favorite directors. Please give us a stop-motion feature film in the Pacific Rim universe!

That's an artist

[@angeldejorge1075]

Thanks for sharing this amazing talk.

[@Brashenn]

Bravo, great talk. AI is pure regurgitated trash.

*The value of art is not how much it costs and how little effort it requires.* *It's how much you would you risk to be in its presence.* *How much would people pay for those screensavers are they going to make them cry? Because they lost a son a mother because they misspend their youth.*
