They're right - Heat isn't a movie about crime. It's a movie about life, it just happens to portray cops and robbers. Such a masterpiece. Great discussion!
It's a film about being Jewish
If you want to see the ultimate movie about "Friendship" watch
"Less than Zero" with James Spader and Robert Downey Jr.
I think it’s also a film of revenge. Waingro is the cancer of this film & when he is taken out, I heard cheers in the cinema (just watched it at my local because they do throw back events).
Well.. Now almost 28 years later we got Heat 2 about to be made for the Big Screen and Michael Mann is starting to decipher who exactly will be in it.
THATS RIGHT MAN THATS WHY THAT MOVIE WAS AND WERE AND ITS A LEGENDARY MOVIE
Nolan isn't the best host and he has very complicated questions but his genuine love for the movie and everyone involved given how busy he is and how successful/talented he is as a director makes the conversation compelling. Nolan is a top 5 director of modern cinema and he is so eager to learn from others. I hope he hosts more of these discussions.
You should watch his talk with George Lucas about Star Wars
I didn’t even know that was him but the whole time I’m thinking - I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed and thought about all these minor details in that movie that made it so spectacular
poor Val Kilmer. it is rough to hear him like this
ikr here's the time code to skip 33:47
@@oscarsalesgirl296 Why would you Skip Val Kilmer??? It's still him.
Have some empathy and mostly Respect for this magnificent actor will you, Instead of being ignorant.
You horrible excuse for a human being.
val kilmer... such an underrated actor... one of my all time favorite!!!
Well, Val unfortunately declined medical science to treat his cancer initially and relied on Christian science & healing instead (arguing that his cancer wasn't really cancer). It was only when his children knocked some sense into his head that he said yes to chemo. Probably saved his life.
Recently I watched the movie Heat, and immediately felt how it could’ve influenced Christopher Nolan. It was like watching Dark Knight. Stunning.
The whole aesthetic of dark knight reminds me so much of Heat!
My exact same thoughts. The opening heist really gave Dark Knight feels, even with the camera angles and sound design
wtf
The opening scene of dark knight is a straight homage to the heat Bank robbery
Nolan said he was directly inspired by "The Godfather" and "Heat" when making "The Dark Knight" in telling a very large city story with very complete characters.
What I like about Pacino and De Niro is that their behavior and demeanor on stage is much like the movie. De Niro is soft spoken almost nothing to say like Neil and Pacino is comedy and over the top like Vincent. Amazing
Yeah Pacino was pretty annoying in this movie, honestly.
@@21scavage It's the character. As Pacino and Mann say, Vincent was a guy dealing with a lot of shit who was a cokehead, which expalins his outbursts.
I think what’s happening here is that De Niro has a lower threshold for bullshit. Christopher Nolan’s questions were ridiculously pretentious. Not even Michael Mann understood what he was asking.
Some comedian once said if De Niro isn't reading from a script then he has nothing at all to say
@@laurarules3642 More like because he's a HACK.
I adore Michael Mann. He is not only a director but also a good sociologist. You can think of this movie as a ''thriller'' but it has a way more deep side. The characters are so well thought of and well planned. Niel and Hanna are tough people. They are serious guys. They are professionals at their jobs but they are also human. They have fragilities. I like their attitude towards life. They are insubmissive, strong. If you want the war, you will have it! That point of view impressed me so much. Especially Niel's ..Also the scenes were professionaly filmed and considered. Not only the street shooting scene but the exchange scene on the parking area or the first robbery scene. Thats why it is a real masterpiece. I think Nolan is also very intellectual. The questions he asks are so good chosen and fitting. I can really understand why these guys are so famous and at the top of the heap.
He's a sociopath feeding you lies.
It’s so sad what happened to Val Kilmer. Unbelievable actor and performance in this movie. Now he can’t even speak because of the throat cancer. This was 8 years ago and he was starting to lose his voice.
I really wish they had this reunion when Deniro and Al Pacino were younger and could recall more of the details. This movie is probably a faint memory for them now.
So beautiful to see Val speaking so passionately and looking amazing. The crew have soo much respect for him and you can see Pacino and Bob laughing with him, the respect is so high amongst these 90s juggernauts. The ending still makes me cry when they hold hands that respect couldn’t have been played any more powerfully. They’re all in the same mindset knowing that they captured true film perfection. It will need a classic for the ages !
Fun fact: Heat had not one but TWO actors who played the main "Hannibal Lecter" universe villains: Francis Dolarhyde AKA "The Red Dragon" was played by Tom Noonan [Manhunter]and Jame Gumb AKA "Buffalo Bill" [Silence of the Lambs] played by Frank Theodore Levine. Two of the scariest performances in movie history.
Look at the legends on this stage at once. Spectacular.
Tom Sizemore. You could feel his absence
I always hate the question what is your favorite movie. I usually say I don't have one or I name a few. Heat is in those few and probably closest to a consistent favorite. Michael Mann just said what I love most about it. You are simultaneously rooting for Al Pacino and Robert de Niro. You want both to succeed. You don't want the collision between the characters cause you know it's going to be fatal to one of them. Just beautiful.
Amazing to see. For so many moviegoers my age or younger, Nolan himself is a living legend. But when he's with these guys, he's just as much a fan like the rest of us.
Right
Michael Mann has done brilliant work. Miami Vice and Heat are two of his best!
Heat yes Thief yes. Miami Vice? nope.
@@El_Cattivo1988
What? Miami Vice was the coolest show on TV when it debuted. It was a phenomenon. So I disagree with you.
Well.. Michael Mann only did the first season i believe of Miami vice and a few episodes of season 2 and then he left. But yea season 1 and season 2 of Miami Vice is some of Michaels best work.
I love Mann’s Collateral with Tom C and J. Fox
I'm so glad this was uploaded. "Heat" is one of my top movies. I would have given anything to have been at this event.
100% agree must have been amazing
This was a pure joy to watch. Nolan was a fantastic moderator - you could see he was truly passionate about the film. I recently watched Heat and I’m pretty sure it’s my favorite (American) film of all time! So watching this retrospective panel was nice and wholesome even to watch 😊
God bless Val Kilmer. He must have lost his voice shortly after this. Loved to see him in Top Gun Maverick.
I love how you can tell Deniro doesn't give a shit about anything but out of respect to his peers he puts up with it..
Must have watched it 100 times a master piece. The way Michael films night is very cool. Looking in from Ireland 🇮🇪
The scene with McCauley and Eady driving through that tunnel late in the film, the metronomic rhythm of the fluorescent lights playing over De Niro's face as he silently weighs up whether to go after Waingro or leave him be and walk away...I think that scene might be my favourite scene in all of cinema. Michael Mann is a complete genius. Before I even knew who he was my favourite film was Last of the Mohicans(still one of the richest, most beautiful, achingly romantic films ever made), and then my dad took me to see Heat and I don't think I shut up about it for a full year. My classmates took the piss out of me because I kept talking about the music in Heat, the Moby instrumental that plays over the credits in particular. It became a running joke.
I think it is, all told, the most fully realised example of the cinematic medium. There are probably more subtle films. There are funnier films, cleverer films. But for bringing everything the cinematic medium can bring to bear on the viewer and doing it with the kind of invisible touch that makes the entire three hours glide by like a dream, Heat is the greatest film ever made.
It is an extraordinary film
Love that scene.
as years go by, and as I rewatched this movie for the 275th time, I am getting to the point of absolute conviction that this is the best film I've seen in my life, and nothing will top it until the end of my days.
After seeing it when it came out in 95 and digesting it I put it into my top movies of all time list. From top to bottom this is as close as you can get to a masterpiece in American film. Really , you are pulling for both the main characters but you know that they are fated to collide with consequences. Every great film has one great line that sticks with me. In Heat, its from Waingro when asked what to expect from Neil. Waingo says, " Hes real thorough, hes not gonna forget about you". And "thorough" is how I would describe Michael Mann and everything about this movie. Great to hear this great forum of those involved in making this movie.
Amazing how critics completely missed on this film. Especially since have not one, but two legends in the film.
Cool thing is The Dark Knight is heavily inspired by Heat
This interview took place months before Val Kilmer was diagnosed with throat cancer.
Amazing panel. Amazing movie. Nolan did a great job moderating it. Plus Nolan subtly mocked all the mouth-breathing audience who obsess over what score the movie gets on Totten Tomatoes, and use it as to either validate or invalidate the movie.
some of the most talented artists on the planet up on that stage. RESPECT!
This is so epic. I will return here in future years to re-watch this. Thumbs UP
It didn't seem significant at the time, but now, nearly 30 years on, I feel very fortunate to have seen the original release twice in theaters.
Thank you for uploading this.
Thanks for this. Was looking for the full video again.
Thanks for the eng sub and time stamp. It helped a lot.
I can understand that Bob is resistant to offering any meaningful insight because, at his senior age, he's already been asked to comment on his acting etc a million times (simplistically and cryptically). But why be so dismissive - "It deserves the attention it got" - and dispiriting? This is a celebration of a cherished movie and an opportunity for other participants to feel rewarded and enjoy some well-intended affection. That perfunctory summation is not borne out of modesty. One presumes that he's tired of the industry and is a simple man enjoying a societal position in which he doesn't have to play the game for anyone. Such a shame because his performance was remarkable. Despite his magnitude he was Neil. Al Pacino, even skipping and chipping, was Al Pacino.
He's been like this for years.
There's an interview with Quentin Tarantino from 1997 where he hardly talks and comes off ready to leave and annoyed
I honestly think it's just his personality, or he doesn't like interviews 🤷🏻♀️
i can't tell you how much i love this movie!
Thanks a lot for sharing !
I wish the ending had Pacino letting De Niro escape.
This is one of my All Time favorite movies
That would be insane!!
de niro has killed people in the execution of his crimes. he was portrayed as positive man but he is basically a criminal.he should go to jail or be shot. no way he gets off scot free. i also wanted him to go with eady to new zealand for a new life but Michael Mann instead had him going after waingrow, sabotaging his own chances to his future with eady. this one last misstep and death resonates with most viewers who want him to escape.
@@ronelitzur856yes, besides being a ruthless criminal, he did not stick with his own rule!
It would have been nice but I think the ending of Hanna holding McCauely’s hand as he dies is perfect, especially with the soundtrack they used.
That was the most touching scene. I was rooting for Neil. I cried when he died. Love from the UK 🇬🇧
My favourite movie of all times with great people I love them to watch Al Pacino and De Nero together is phenomenal good work Michael ❤️
Note Val Kilmer saying he has a swollen tongue whereas actually he had cancer, which he only revealed in 2017, some 2 years after this interview.
This was filmed in 2016.
He can’t even talk now
The more information we can get about this awesome movie, the better!
Incredibly insightful. They built those characters from the inside out. Love hearing about craft.
I had the same reaction as al and Bob when the host asked them the first question,wtf is this guy talking about,his questions are almost cryptic,I think Al sums it up perfectly when he says to Bob to just "say anything".
As much as I love Christopher Nolan and respect his work he DOES love to talk. Notorious for not getting to the point.
I didn't even realise until now it's 'christopher nolan', incredibly talented guy with a stunning filmography,how did I miss that,I still agree though that he doesn't half ramble on with his lengthy complex questions.
@@Original-Juice Even in his movies. I like many of them but he tends toward style over substance, disguised as substance.
"This guy"...
I could watch this for ever ❤
Heat is probably Michael's Masterpiece, probably my top 5 movies. Robert De Niro and Al Pacino are also on my top 5 best actors.
Like 90% of Mann's filmography is a work of art; Thief, Manhunter, Insider, Heat, Collateral, etc. I think only Inception can be leveled in the same conversation.
Yeah I love Michael Mann but give Nolan some credit he also has The Prestige, Dunkirk, interstellar, the dark knight, etx
I wished Tom Sizemore would go up there too :(
Anyone else felt that DeNiro was mentally checked out from this session from the beginning? He didn’t want to be there and was uninterested to participate in the conversation
Yeah. Must have been a bad day
It wasn't that, it was Nolan asking complicated questions. Plus, DeNiro is notoriously shy.
Should have been in a semi circle layout! Where everyone gets to interact better, no twisting in your seat! Who organises such talent in this way!!!
So with you … I was looking also at the chairs…my.. so uncomfortable…. Treat your elder better … ;(
Depends entirely upon the design of the theatre.
my favorite movie
no one was supposed to get hurt
After heat,,,all crime movies degraded,,till even now..
Check out Justified
Wow I've only understood the film today. Its so good and heavy man, heavy.
Why wasn’t Diane Venora invited to any of these roundtables? Her performance as Al Pacino’s wife was so memorable, as was that of Ashley Judd.
I always knew about Hannah having a coke problem as a backstory but how they explained not actually showing it on screen makes perfect sense. It would 100% attract too much attention and take away from the story. The scenes of Al doing lines would almost turn the film into a giant meme for cocaine jokes online.
Whenever it’s portrayed in a movie- they always take it to such an extreme and I have yet to really see a movie do it accurately to some degree. I feel like it would add a lot of intrigue to a character if they use it, and it’s just left unsaid. While having the plot centered around something entirely different and unrelated to drugs.
On the rare occasion a show or movie will do that sort of thing I always appreciate it. Not that I've tried that particular one, I don't think I would like it. From what it does, to how you get it into your system, it does not fit me but to each their own. I'm pretty square in general in fact, but I've been around enough people on various stages, sometimes having to take care of them if it was too much. For the most part though you can have more normal conversations than you can with a drunk person.
This is going to sound like a weird show to connect it to but it was just such a shock when I first saw it being used in such a casual way. The 16 year old daughter in Black Lightning occasionally took a few puffs. It's not presented as something she has to hide, it's not something she has a problem with and becomes a whole moral story about how she is losing herself. Just on occasion when her super hero and family life is extremely complicated and tough and she needs to relax for a bit. The first time I saw her take a few puffs I was expecting one of the parents to barge in and be all up in arms and create complete story around it.
Granted it's the least harmful thing you can do, and we literally had a sitcom revolved around characters sitting in their basement doing it. But it's so often used in that stereotype way, treated as if it's effects are like H, even if they can't show it. You have the "slacker" click that always wears hoodie and a beanie even during the warmest summers and can't complete a sentence. So when I saw it I had this reaction of: I can't believe this was allowed in a show like that and never made into a plot point or discussed.
Just in general I like the more realistic portrayals and not treat everything except for beer, wine and whiskey as if it will make you see rainbows and unicorns.
heat is about american decay period.greatest crime movie ever made period
bro where did you find the full video of the conversation. I've been trying to find the full video for some of these acadey conversations videos but I can't find it anywhere. please tell me.
it was on movie's blu-ray bonus disk
Probably Christopher Nolan and Michael Mann shook hands before going on stage, nothing to worry about. (2:34) Think about it, you played the lead role in the movie "Power" 20 years ago and you are saying something about the character you played 20 years later. how hard.however, he explained it very naturally. (11:52) also Everyone was so excited that no one laughed at Michael Mann's joke. (23:16) and silence... anyway best joke and another story starts at 47:46
Excelente panel de entrevista e invitados legendarios. Magistrales todos los involucrados en un film de culto tan extraordinario como lo es Heat.
PD: Creo que a Nolan se le olvidó preguntar a su homólogo o más bien a Al y Bob la escena final dónde Vincent toma la mano de Neil, como un consuelo al morir. Fué una escena y toma final por parte del director muy épica y más con la banda sonora de Moby
I remember when the movie came out there was talk that De Niro and Pacino didn't personally like each other,, and that's why there was no scene where they were actually seen in the same frame together - that doubles sat in for the filming. Silly urban legend
Mann utilise la forme du cinema de genre ( pour séduire l'industrie et pour plaire au public) afin de discuter de ce qui l'interesse vraiment. Son sujet est la vie des hommes soumis au temps qui passe et qui les rapproche ineluctablement de leur mort. Dans ses films, Mann décide du moment, du lieu et des modalités de leur disparition.
Did Bill Simmons see this? Answers a lot of their questions over the years!
23:44 😂😂 that was perfect
5:52 ❤
Starts at 0:27
There is a lot of Miami Vice in HEAT
At first I thought Val Kilmer was doing an impression of Marlon Brando from "The Godfather". Then I realized, that's how he speaks.
Who is the host in orange
I love al pacino i loved him in scarface in godfather in heat
Heat is near perfect. Nothing is, but man, it's darn close!
من اللي جاي من حلقة سينماتولوجي ؟
And there's how dark knight was made chris nolan was inspired by heat and michael mann
De Niro is never good in interviews he's a listener not a talker
22:55
why Paul wasnt here ?
Someone doesn't like The Prestige
fucking dope
Nolan's question to Al/Bob was like Tenet: even HE couldn't figure it out 😂😂
Val Kilmer totally dissed Michael Mann when he went on stage. 27:04
Wonder why that was, guess we'll never know
That lady didn't mention The Prestige! Errrrrrrr
Val... 😥
Heat..after..miami vice...after..i think starsky & hutch join anthony yerkovich....great
Would have been awesome if Kevin Gage was here
Deniro always looks irritated having to do these things😝
when this movie came out i went to see it. At the end of the movie I could not believe the master piece i just saw. I went back the following day. But to this day the end of the movie for me is a little struggle.
The only down side of the movie.
Nolan's questions were like exam questions. I invite him to stick to making movies.
Two of the best actors ever, bookended by two of the best directors ever. Absolutely magical. Thank you
I rented a room in north Hollywood off Lankershim around the time that a massive shootout occurred. I believe it was a Bank of America. We had bullets embedded in the walls of our back porch. I wonder if that was the shoot-out this was based on.
As soon as the cinematographer started saying the film was better due to the digital transfer over film. You know that Nolan's having NONE of that. Proper triggered him! 🤣
THERE IS A FLIPSIDE OF THAT COIN🤨 🙂😂😂😂
I honestly feel the student has exceeded the teacher. Obviously without the teacher, there be no student. I like Micheal Mann but Nolan is on an other level. That said, Heat is one of the best movies, I have seen. The Dark Knight is also up there though.
Indeed. Nolan has been influenced by Michael Mann, Ridley Scott, etc. But he’s surpassed them all.
Not showing him or even alluding to Pacino's character doing coke was a huge mistake. When you view the film, It seems like Pacino is completely over the top.
Where is Val Kilmer?
26:52 lol
This was 8 years ago when he was first diagnosed with throat cancer. Now he can’t even speak
40:09 Nolan is too obsessed with film prints. Digital certainly has better advantage and uses now and in future. The only thing that makes sense using celluloid over digital for shooting is stylistic presentation, especially for big movies and Imax.
There was a stretch of time when that wasn't true, though. The original Star Wars trilogy transferred well to 4K, but the digitally-captured, lower-resolution scenes at the time made the special edition special effects age poorly. Same thing happened with the first Avengers, where they couldn't up-res the digital shots, so older films actually look better on new screens than newer movies within a period of about 6-10 years of the early adoption of digital cinema.
Lol, Nolan tried to get that jab in, but the DP came right back and was like "No, the digital version is better."
why doesn't De Niro doesn't remember anything?
Amy so nervous lol
Was Tom Sizemore not invited to this? Or had he already passed?
This was 8 years ago
bro why did I thought the interviewer was Spielberg
christopher nolan is just michael mann rebranded
Val Kilmer sounds like Marlon Brando as Vito Corleone...
He has throat cancer. He can’t even speak now. This was almost ten years ago
@@BostonsF1nest yes, I know. He still sounds like Vito Corleone. Watch the Godfather and you'll see.
I love how De Niro has almost no insight to contribute lol. Great actor but doesn't really have a way with words
The mumble squad haha
Shitty backdrop to these gatherings! Wtf!
Red velvet and a giant Oscar statue makes sense... what background would you like for the academy to use??
You do realize that there is a massive screen behind that curtain, and this is a interview just after the special digital conversion screening to the movie
