He went from skeptical "OK, however that works" to "Ah, that did fell like a conversation". Great interview.
yup lol. so honest and humble
ma nemoj hahaha for real. That's what you get with a good interview.
The last 15 minutes were the most honest and funniest critique of the film industry I've ever heard.
Craig Hicks One of my very favorite half hours out of more than 1250. A truly fascinating mind.
+Virgil White Sorry you hated the interview.
+DP/30: The Oral History Of Hollywood Sam is very very known to be aggressive during interviews. I think that this interviewer did a great job of getting Sam to dish out some knowledge for you heathens.
+DP/30: The Oral History Of Hollywood
Speaking as an unbiased third party, it doesn't sound like Virgil hated the interview, just the closed questions and the constant "uh-huh".
You're doing good work here, with a few tweaks it could be better.
Virgil White tbh man, I appreciate your opinion, but I have to disagree with you. One of the best interviews D/P has done
Every frame a painting brought me here :3
+Nikhat Lubna Me too.
+Nikhat Lubna yeah
great job by the interviewer making Samuel Jackson comfortable. Samuel started out annoyed by another interview and the interviewer threw at him interesting question that he was happy to answer.
Great interview once again. I loved Sam's line:
"You're not supposed to know that"
"...I've done 127 films."
"Well, that did feel like a conversation--" ... Hahah, that's how I felt. At first he seemed a bit reluctant or apprehensive; but the interviewer got him to open up and speak freely. Very well orchestrated.
Holy shit I've never realized he could be so candid.
Everyone should do this.
Great interview! At first he came off as annoyed and angry and i was almost gonna stop watching. but then it turned to be great.. he is frank, down to earth and a no nonsense guy..awesome.
Samuel is a very frank, tell-it-like-it-is with no BS kinda guy. And in the film industry he has worked well and bonded with a fair share but also butted heads and scared off quite a few as well. He just has this huge presence that may come off as antagonistic for some, but either way the effect that he has as an actor is one where he commands immediate respect, naturally. In the beginning of the interview Samuel was skeptical about how it was all going to turn out and he certainly had this standoffish aura, but as the interview progressed he opened up more and more and in the end he was pleasantly surprised remarking "Well it did feel like a conversation" which was the intention of this interview and that in my book is fuckin "A+" pass with flying colors. The interviewer asked a range of questions and knew how to steer the discussion, he listened and didn't talk over the interviewee and gave enough space for expression. This was both insightful and entertaining, well done.
Suspiciously accurate description.. you're doing it for deaf ppl?
This is probably my favourite interview on this channel. I love how you can see how Samuel L. Jackson's mood really changed throughout the interview.
It would be immodest to suggest how I get these interviews, but the whole process of developing this series was based on access I already had and turning it from a web/print effort to a video one.
And I am one of the luckiest bastards in the world. Also one of the hardest working... if this kind of pursuit can be called "work."
This interview is a masterpiece. Watch Samuel’s body language evolve throughout the interaction.
"That did feel like a conversation"...that is the way you interview, not dumb questions...having a conversation itself is an interview process. This is why this was so good.
I liked the end where he seemed surprised with himself that some people do actually want to have a conversation ha ha. This and the Christian Bale interview have been two of the best. So much that it seemed like Bale had been unknowingly waiting for a decent chunk of time with a smart interviewer to get in to some stuff.
Samuel L Jackson is not afraid to tell how hollywood works even from a high status actors prospective. He is very open about his career. Where most actors will be political and say "Hey I love the fans, I love to travel blah blah blah" Samuel L Jackson says "Well its in the contract" lol.
"I've seen it done right, wrong and otherwise... so you decide" love his honesty.
"Okay... however that works..." - Worked out beautifully, actually...
at 20:00 Sam speaks so much fucking truth about how those pretentious critics praised 12 years for being serious and gritty and dark and looked down upon django because it adressed the issue in an upbeat way.
Definitely the most honest no-bullshit interview with an actor I've ever seen.
Directors who don't tap into this man's wealth of wisdom are FOOLS. If you're given the chance to work with this man, LISTEN TO HIM.
+John Burton He doesn't really say anything important pertaining to directors, more for writers. Even then it's just him generally saying "make good shit that entertains." I mean it might help for filmmakers who are trying to imitate hollywood type shit like they were taught in film school, but otherwise nothing really too important or groundbreaking here tbh.
Shane Benjamson Wow, now that I've heard you state the opposite opinion to mine, I've totally changed my perspective. Total 180. Thank you so much for this revelation.
John Burton But I wasn't stating an opinion. I was stating relevant observations I made, that you seem to have missed when you made your original statement.
There ha fuk u I used big words I win the argument.
Shane Benjamson I've never heard anyone use the phrase "big words" who wasn't an idiot. And I've never met an idiot who wasn't fun to goad. So just for fun, go ahead and defend your assertions. Give your evidence that (1) Sam Jackson can't give much advice to directors, (2) that his advice is one-note or shallow, and that (3) he doesn't know how to make groundbreaking work. And before you respond, be aware that Every Frame a Painting, which is all about the style and work of groundbreaking directors, has already used some of his statements made in this video.
"hong kong bullet-ballet"...I gotta remember that!
I love the way Sam and Quentin talk about movies and especially "going to the movies". It should be an event, a spectacle. It's more like a roller coaster ride than a sunday drive. Television is a sunday drive. A movie is a roller coaster.
Fantastic interview. The interviewer was amazingly good!!!😀👍👍
one of the best actors of all time
Charlie Chase Lol no. He is coolhas a strong character nd personalty and he is preety decent as actor, butone of the best??? not even close..but I like him a lot
Joe Kerr Its a opinion get over it
I love this interview. One of the best I've ever seen with an actor. I think as much as Jackson is loved and respected that he's still under-rated. He's wonderful.
Thanks... yes, I am the DP doing all these interviews.
I used to think "from his movie appearances" that he was just a coo fucking bad ass. Now I see him still as that but a completely down to earth hard working real person. Great interview, great video.
i like how @ the beginning you can tell he was like "yeah, whatever" and then at the end he really enjoys the conversation. super cool guy!
Man its amazing how optimistic Samuel Jackson is.
Django Unchained is one of my fave films and Mr Jackson was amazing in it.
had a professor in college that was so much like Sam Jackson, same kind of mannerisms and similar way of talking. Intimidating, but I learned a lot when I finally got the guts to talk to him one on one.
Most hated, oh lord, I have never cried during a movie as much as I cried over his character and the empathy and depth he portrayed him with. I remember just hiccup bawling in the theatre.
I love this man. The last thing he said about actors watching themselves and looking up reviews is so true.
I really like this interview style. Going to check out more of your uploads.
I haven't watched all videos on this channel, but this is my favorite so far. Great interview.
I like how he started it professional, then kept it real
Mr DP/30, this is a hysterical and insightful interview. I was just going to watch a couple minutes but I watched the whole thing. Keep it up man.
I love the interviews that this channel puts forward. Honest, pure, unscripted interviews! Thank you, these are the best kind of interviews.
Love how you got him to do so much talking with such few questions
Excellent interview, one of the best from this channel I've seen. Keep it up :D
Love this channel! Great interview, uncut, open and frank conversations about stuff that people really should be interested if they're interested in film. Love this.
He says it as he sees it. That's my man.
the best actor in Hollywood. His work ethic is unmatched. He's so versatile.
such a great interview. very insightful questions. i like this format.
33:30 SPEAKS THE MOTHERFUCKING TRUTH
Havent gotten to that time stamp yet but, I think he's been speaking the truth all along.
Great interview. Thanks Sam. Loved this as much as Inside the Actor's Studio.
This interview is by far one of the best I've seen. Jackson's pure honesty and open dialogue makes up for the ridiculous questions the interviewer asks. What an incredible guy.
I love how Sam is a normal guy. People tend to kind of go crazy when they are famous, but he is somebody you could see living down your street or coming over to watch football or something.
Stumbled onto this randomly... No fucking way am I NOT subscribing and digging through all these conversations.
One of the best interviews I've seen.
Ya at the end, "That did feel like a conversation!" haha. Great interview I love the casual style of it as well as the length.
This interviewer.......amazing
I love this interview. I've watched it about 20 times over the past few months. Congrats Dave!
Oh man I did not know this guy was so clever and insightful. Don't get me wrong he is obviously a really talented actor but he is so clever.
According to Tarantino, he's always the smart ass on set. He's always get something intelligent to say, often at another person's expense. He's a cool dude. I find his work ethic especially admirable. His mantra to young actors is "Know your lines and show up on time and ready to work". He's a multi-millionaire who treats acting like a 9-5 job
There's definitely a strong correlation between being clever and being a good actor
I hadn't planned to watch the whole 35min but I did. Very engaging. I've never seen Samuel L Jackson this relaxed and candid in an interview. Loved it.
Brilliant as always. Funny how he starts off a little pissed and then just relaxes-and he is really great to listen to-great!
This was a great interview! Didn't think I'd watch the whole 35 minutes, but it was so good I I kept coming back to it. Congrats to the interviewer for being knowledgeable enough and comfortable enough to get such great stuff from Samuel L - we learned a lot about him, Quentin and the film industry. Despite him looking at the start like he wasn't enthused about doing it, by the end it looks like knew it was good, too.
this is one of the coolest interviews I've ever seen
What a terrific interview. Thanks so much.
I always enjoy these interviews
the way this started i though it was gonna suck, but turned out to be one of the best interviews with SLJ! Bravo guys!
"Life very seldom imitates art. Art imitates life." BOSSSS
This is one of the best interviews I have ever seen. Its a conversational interview with Sam Jackson. I love that Sammy's Sharp.
Dude, this is great! You do fantastic interviews!
Man his performance was chilling. So so good!
Sam's a cool movafucker! He's so great and funny in this interview. Great actor. He was great in 187. He's great in many movies. Cool as hell. Respect to Mr Jackson
I've seen a lot of interviews. This one was the best with Sam I've ever seen. Great job!
Django is my fave movie of all time. Great acting and everything else. Hope they win Oscars.
It's so awesome seeing him slowly unravel.
Best interview ever.
great interview!
Luv listening to him speak. I have no idea what he’s going to say. Thank you 👍🏽👏🏽🤗
Really enjoyed this interview.
Wow, I think this is the best interview out of the series!
His part in the movie is awesome and well played. Shows that he is a great actor.
Stellar interview,He looked so puzzled like he was going to be irritated by the format you suggested in the intro to how you where going to push with the interview then he just rolled with you and bounced some real talk,Superb man.
Damn good interview! Keep it up!
For the first minute or so - then it turns into a conversation between two mates. Brilliant interview - really enjoyed watching it.
Man I could listen to him all day. Very down to earth and funny.
I love that he has no shame in saying he watches his own movies. I find it weird some actors don't want to see their performances in the same context the audience sees it. And not to mention seeing the final outcome that took years and grueling effort to make.
I don't think it's weird at all that some actors don't like watching themselves. Some actors like Adam Driver and Johnny Depp don't like watching their own performances but it's mostly a self-conscious/ neurotic thing. Sam Jackson obviously has great confidence in himself so he enjoys seeing his own performances.
this interview is awesome
Nice interview! It started out a bit slow but it picked up in the end.
I like the core message. It's about the work.
You don't get more authentic than Samuel Jackson. This is WHY he has stayed around as long as he has
i c, well i really enjoyed the video and am glad you got the interview, great work
I've been Directing for a year now and I'm beginning to get real work offers now, but I am keeping my head above water by the fringe. 10 minutes into this interview is something I am recognising. This is also so close to the Empire interview. There are so many great interviews for this film and this is one of them. Well done good Sir.
Amazing interview this was very interesting and informative Sam is such a great actor. Love hearing him talk about acting and film making.
Great interview. Samuel L always comes off as as genuine guy in all his interviews. Hes not there to impress, he just tells it like it is. Good stuff.
This brotha keeps it so real and you can't help but laugh because he says it so smooth. He made some really great points that a upcoming actor can learn from.
Loved this interview great stuff.
Love that type of interview. Love Jackson's honesty.
i LOVE this interview. so honest.
I love his no bullshit approach to the work. He is an incredible artist. He gave some tips on storytelling that many writers cannot articulate.
a good interview and good journalism man
One of the best interviews with any actors I`ve ever seen. Sam Jackson is such an honest guy.
Every time I see a movie on tv I picture the actors in it chilling at home just like me and then they are also shuffling and then they see themselves so they stop to watch, is nice to see i wasn't wrong about that.
Down to earth interview!
GREAT INTERVIEW!!!
Such a good interview. Sam is amazing.
i screamed uncle ruckus throughout the movie. such a brilliant role, played by the coolest dude!
