[@jeffreyroedel9804]

This is great because there's a whole backstory undercurrent here, because of 127 Hours. Franco read for the role first, then Danny Boyle chose Gosling for it, then Gosling had to drop out for other reasons, and Danny called Franco again and signed him up for it.

[@lfdrumming7804]

I agree with Ryan, people sometimes bash superhero movies saying that their just big budget CGI fests and everything is done for you but I believe that it is harder to act like fictional things are happening rather than to act in a real world situation, If you look at behind the scenes videos of these superhero movies you'll see actors acting opposite tennis balls which is I think a lot harder than acting opposite a human.

[@anitawu9155]

It's not easy acting green screen.

[@youthforjfk1553]

Jesse Eisenberg is truly an incredible human being and his degree of introspection is admirable. Almost sounds like he has ocd of having to clarify himself and his thoughts several times and I truly feel empathetic towards this guy because I have this problem as well. The thought that you have to correct every mis-understanding is difficult to live with. Maybe I am wrong and biased. Ryan Gosling wow what a humble human being and all the other actors as well. New found respect for these actors except James Franco. I don't know if it's the moustache that is making him look disingenuine but he seems pretentious. Quite likely he is going through a difficult time and trying to cover it up! Definitely worth watching.!

When Duvall talks around 15/16 minutes, how many people find themselves watching Ryan Gosling's reaction and expression toward him? Interesting that the amount of expression in his face (you wonder what he's thinking) shows he has that natural potential to be a screen actor.

[@mustsilm]

Does anyone else think Franco was kind of trying to impress when he talked about his 127 and James Dean and Milk etc parts, the way he talked looked like he was trying to impress the older actors behind the table.

[@andrewwiggins7374]

Duvall owned that room. Watching these young up-and-comers perched next to the guy who acted alongside Gregory Peck, Pacino, Brando, Tommy Lee Jones, and DeNiro in the movies that made them icons is the ultimate in juxtaposing wisdom vs. youth (Firth being the exception, being that he's been around for years). The moment he starts name-dropping, the rest of the room became mere conversational shadow. It's cool seeing the young guys like Gosling/Franco/Eisenberg take in what Duvall is saying. Duvall's worked with nearly everyone in the last three generations of film. Just an incredible array of filmography.

Don’t forget the great Richard Harris.

I'm sorry but this is one of the reasons Ryan Gosling is one if not the best actor of our generation! When asked the question "what makes a good/ great actor?" 14:00-14:06 everyone looks at him and points! A room full of great actors and they all look to him!

They both read for 127 Hours. Gosling was chosen over him, but had to drop out, so Franco got the call after Gosling and ends up with an Oscar nomination out of it. They didn't address it directly, which could have been interesting, but it's the subtext there, and probably the reason Franco was so emphatic when saying "I didn't fight for the role" lol.

[@September2004]

41:54 "The great Stanley Kubrick was an actor's enemy." I've always wondered about that. Kubrick does so many takes but aside from Strangelove and A Clockwork Orange, I don't often hear about the performances. I doubt, even decades from now, that anybody will talk about Kidman and Cruise's performances in Eyes Wide Shut. They'll talk about other things. Here's a quote from Michael Herr, who helped write Full Metal Jacket: "Nor could I explain that strange irresistible requirement he had for pushing his actors as far beyond a “naturalistic” style as he could get them to go, and often selecting their most extreme, awkward, emotionally confusing work for his final cut. The peculiarity of it: George C. Scott in Dr. Strangelove, Patrick Magee in A Clockwork Orange, and Jack Nicholson in The Shining, just to pick the most blinding examples; Scott complained publicly that Stanley not only directed him way over the top but also chose the most overwrought takes for the final cut, while Nicholson’s performance turned The Shining into a movie that largely failed as a genre piece but worked unforgettably on levels where it didn’t matter that there was a huge movie star and great actor on the premises or not. (Nicholson did some of his greatest work, and his very worst, in The Shining, and the same could be said of the director.) “That was much more real,” Stanley told him after a take, “but it isn’t interesting.” Even the biggest stars knew what it was like to be a pawn in Stanley’s game: “That was really great. Let’s go again.”"
