no-one deserves it more ...he has come a long hard way to get back...he should be so proud of his achievments.

[@thundersky6]

I really hope Mickey wins the Oscar one day.

[@AKFreiman]

Mickey shouldve won that gold ass-stick, that role was that sort of "one in a lifetime"

[@travisgray8376]

I hope Mickey and Daren work together again....and hope more bigger time directors cast him in stuff he is a great actor

[@lowbrowrodeo]

"His biggest accomplishment was keeping those sunglasses of Mickey Rourke" lol

[@coolbrett]

I could listen to Aronofsky talk about movies all day

[@ilovepanslabyrinth]

I'm from New Zealand I hope to be a film director one day. My name is Sam Franklin and Darren Aronofsly means so much to me! I just love American movies more than anything else!

[@godfatherofwiseguys]

look at Danny Boyle. he's a real fan of Aronofsky. their one on one interview is really really fascinating.

[@robertward4785]

Mickey Rourke is 100% real in a place that's 100% fake

[@AdamF89]

Even though his first 4 films are the only ones I really like, I have such tremendous respect for Aronofksy. One of those filmmakers that got me into film from an early age.

[@thomaswilliams1963]

Good god the talent in that room...

[@cedricpod]

i love Mickey

[@edwinombac]

An amazing amount of work behind the men at this table

[@brybry19871987]

I always think Clint Eastwood is just gonna fuckin shoot someone.

[@GoCatGo-lp5bq]

Darren and Mickey were a great team together. I enjoy their interviews together and with others. This video was cool. .I'd like to watch more roundtable discussions of directors. Anyone know of any on CZcams or elsewhere? Thanks.

[@graciafirst]

Darren and Clint are awesome. I love Darren

[@vespacurry]

I wish I was at that table and talking about film with them, they all look so invigorated by each others stories.

[@littlepro22]

that room is full of geniuses

[@Kurgan618]

So articulate and insightful

[@LeonardoSantana77]

What is this??? Where can I find the full interview with all these talented directors. Wow

[@AdamF89]

You can tell Eastwood relates to Aronofsky because he directs very few takes and likes to capture it naturally in the moment

[@Ride_on54]

Some big names at that table

[@shapathtandon1804]

hmmm I can see the 'Cinderella Man', 'A million dollar baby' and 'The wrestler'. And I can't select my favorite among these.

[@limaq]

good stuff.

[@imaginepeace46]

YEP I AGREE WITH YOU UKGIRLONCE

[@karmaking00]

boyle entiende de guerrillia style de hacer movies lo hizo antes de ser conocido sin plata no money

[@randomdogma6744]

anyone else think that dude looks just like Tom Mason (actor Noah Wyle)

[@levanbalisevichi8817]

👌👍👍

[@coolbrett]

He certainly blew his chance at redemption didn't he..

[@MsTriangle]

He didnt blew it. It was because of that Oscars snub.

[@eversmot]

Clint doesn't give a shit.. like a boss

[@KulaAShaker]

@brybry19871987 it would make his day

[@krisj827]
