Talking Pictures Podcast | Episode 7 | Max

A nice memory: I worked as an extra here in Atlanta on "First Man." After going through wardrobe and makeup, my group of extras were free to grab breakfast. While standing in the back of the line, somebody bumped into me while walking between tents (wardrobe and makeup were housed in HUGE tents, along with crafty). I turned to see who it was and recognized him immediately: it was Damien Chazelle, in jeans and a hoodie like any of the other crew. I pointed him out to the other extras, who seemed more interested in the omelets than one of the best directors in the last decade. I wish I had said something. I got the chance to do another, smaller scene later on with Ryan Gosling (got to strap him into the spacecraft). Both of them were SO intent on getting every little detail right. It was nice to see their enthusiasm. I'll also say that "First Man" had the best extra training of any film I've been on - they went out of their way to make the extras understand the time period of the film and the context. Really well done. This was a great interview!

Damien, i don't know if you'll read this but you have no idea what your work means to me!

Babylon is a criminally underrated gem of a movie!! It’ll get its flowers in probably 5 years.

[@kassiogomes8498]

It won't.

@@johnsailorsgoat there's not enough people in the world that care about the history of Hollywood for this movie to be popular.

@@kassiogomes8498I find your dedication to cynicism rather repulsive.

[@theneonqueen4101]

Babylon was so good.

[@SnehaKavali]

This man and his films single handedly changed my life.thank you DAMIEN CHAZELLE😃😃😃

[@gabibats5348]

Chazelle the goat for making La La Land

[@cineartss]

Damien, you are wonderful! You made La La Land, a masterpiece! You are my favorite director! I hope your new film stars Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone! This trio has our hearts ❤❤❤

[@Mccpotinc]

I hope he knows that a lot of people love his movies and personally I think Babylon is a modern masterpiece and truly don’t understand the critical reception of the movie. He’s one of the best directors working today and Babylon again was a masterpiece.

[@manasvenraina351]

Bro you are literally amazing, i hope you get your flowers soon

[@MartaHeras-l1d]

DAMIEN CHAZELLE THE BEST

[@johnsailorsgoat]

Babylon is a masterpiece and time is already proving that fact.

[@LOGOS422]

Babylon will be much more appreciated in 10-15 years. It was very ambitious in its scope and well made, although the story itself wasn't quite as magnetic as it needed to be. It's a film you can watch multiple times to appreciate its size and cinematic beauty so Chazelle can be proud of his efforts.

[@davidl.5981]

Thank you 💙✌🏻

[@lifeisdead01]

Damien Chazelle, Denis Villenueve, Christopher Nolan, Yorgos Lanthimos, the best "new" filmmakers working today.

[@culturedaadmi4683]

Remove 1st and last and add Park chan wook, hirokazu koreeda, bong jun oh. These are are " best " working today

[@midkrylegda7887]

And Paul Thomas Anderson, Bong Joon-ho, Robert Eggers 🙂

[@saurabhchalke]

Remove the last one and add Greta Gerwig

[@film_magician]

Can you please put the guest's name in the video title? This was great and I want to go through all of them, but all the titles are the same

[@originaozz]

Babylon has many flaws, but just like all Damien Chazelle's projects, you can't deny that ENDING!!

[@lexis4490]

All the BS directors who get a "100" chances, Chazelle better be able to make more movies. My only problem with Babylon is it feels too long. The direction is still amazing.

[@berkantbilgi7033]

Why do you pass the First Man? I think First man is the most underrated movie of all time like Babylon but you didnt talk one line

[@rodbacote8607]

I have mixed feeling on Babylon as some of it was brilliant and some was too excessive. When I went to see it, a number of people walked out in the first 10 minutes after the gross scene with the elephant. That's part of the reason it flopped

[@vigoliebregts]

It's freaking Babylon there's no too

[@johnsailorsgoat]

It’s not the movie’s fault people are too brainwashed to stomach it.

first comment

[@zazinha3810]

So Damien Chazelle's not going to talk about stealing his ex-wife's ideas, hard work, and connections for Whiplash and La La Land..and then kicking her immediately to the curb? Okay.

[@mr.jack0039]

I guess she should file a lawsuit against him if that's the case.

[@midkrylegda7887]

What? Do You have any proof?

[@ElenainMovieland]

Damien Chazelle i hope you know how much your movies mean to me and your art is beyond beautiful and i really hope you never stop making movies you are an artist i admire so much please don’t ever get discouraged by the negative comments of the media about babylon💔 it was a mastering and they don’t know what they are talking about. I’m a film student because of you and one day i will work for you in one of your next movies 🤞🏻🍀🤍
