"YOU'RE SUCH A FUCKASS!"
"I've admired her since I was born."
ha ha I wonder if her laugh after that insult was her real laugh ( breaking character )....and then after the camera roll, everyone on the table burst out into laughter!
What's a fuckass?
@@MichaelDeGarArt idk, but it's funny.
Love that! Perfect example of arguing with sibs as a teenager... You're just so mad bc ur sibs know exactly what button to push to get you to lose your mind and the perfect example of when you're that angry the most disorganized nonsensical angry words come out of your mouth.
Oh man , you can tell they've been in a few arguments with each other haha . That big grin when she gets under his skin .
An Oscar doesn’t mean you’re a great actor it can be very political. Some actors are beyond an Oscar. Like this artist
Like Amy Adams and Glenn Close!
Yes
He's still pretty young. It'll happen.
Gyllenhaal doesn't have an Oscar? Wtf it must be political. Just like with Leo...

Brokeback Mountain has some of the best acting i have ever seen. I literally just watched it for the first time. I'm so sad.
I watched it for the first time a couple of days ago! I’m broken.
Watched it for the second time a few days ago. Hit just as hard as the first time. The hope that Jack feels in the beginning, only to be crushed once he finally realizes that he’ll never really have Ennis, Jake managed to portray that so viscerally.
Me too!! It was a good movie but it broke me. 💔
@@theonionqueen3519 yeah, I guess. But I feel like ennis breaking down in front of Jack at the end might’ve been the start of his path towards accepting that what they had was love. And had jack not died, he might’ve given jack more. Like, maybe he’d have started to allow himself to be emotionally closer to jack and maybe that would’ve led them to a path where they would either be living together or closer to each other. But since Jack was so tired of living life the way they had been, maybe he decided to move on and be with Randall BUT it’s possible he was still going to see Ennis, or that Ennis was going to go after jack if he left him. Idk. I think them living together one day, had jack not died, is of great unlikelihood BUT not impossible. And maybe ennis moving closer to jack or jack moving closer to him so they’d be with each other more often could’ve happened and been enough. It’s just too bad jack died and ennis only realized it was love when it was too late. Now, we will never know. All we can do is dream of what could’ve been. So devastating.
@@thatgirlreacts5465 It truly is devastating. And as sad as it is, it’s great for each fan to be able to speculate what could’ve been. God, it’s just crushing to think about, how sad their ending is. If there’s a Heaven, I like to think they’d end up together there.
Really think people are under-appreciating his role as Billy Hope in Southpaw... Incredible performance
Ong
yeah and loki in prisoners
Made me cry how Billy and his daughter's relationship fell apart then came back together.
Totally agree❤
Jake Gyllenhaal seems like the type of guy that gives great hugs.
I'm Commander Shepard and I approve of this display of affection.
Creepy ones tho, like he enjoys it a lil too much
He hugged me in my dream and it was amazing
@@kyanmorgan4405 that's Aight, he's Jake Gyllenhaal
Hello Commander. We meet again.
the way he chooses his words so carefully and gentle is mesmerizing. You can just tell the respect and admiration he has for every single movie he's been in, as well as the people he's worked with. I could listen to him all day~
Same.
Alice Color lot of wisdom in there. I respect this guy.
O
same he seems super calm and overall nice
Jake you are my crush... And you look like my high school crush. He hung himself in 2021. He never showed Any signs of depression. So... Please get help when you need it. Don't fake happy.
I loved him in Nightcrawler when he said "it's me, I'm the Nightcrawler!". Truly one of the moments in film history.
It’s Bloomin’ time.
not funny anymore
@@imhim3717 not funny anymore

This dude doesn’t sugar coat or complicate stuff, he’s straight to the point
He is authentic.
That’s because he’s a Sagittarius just like me that’s what we do Plus jake’s my birthday twin
except in brokeback mountain
I love people like that it’s so refreshing to hear a normal real person
"Art is meant to disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed" - Jake Gyllenhaal's father
Brilliantly said.
Somebody should put that on a shirt!!
Seems like a Finley Dunne/Cesar A. Cruz plagiarism to me 😅
Oh no lol @@AndysamBlack. I'm going to research the quote. But great quote nonetheless.
apparently it's by Banksy // Edit.: others have pointed out it's originally by Cesar A. Cruz; and has been incorporated by banksy in his art

Jake Gyllenhaal looks and sounds like simultaneously the most happy and sad person ever at the same time.
lmao... perfect recipe for an actor, no?
@@pathofthetrickster I mean you can't argue with the results.
LMAO
That is so true.
Bi polar
I’m LITERALLY on a Jake Gyllenhaal marathon right now!
Hello👋
Thanks for your likes and comments on my official fan page I have noticed you.i would appreciate it if you contact me on my private email address so we can discuss more better if you don't mind
Email: jakegyllenhaal341@gmail.com
Now you have to give us the list ranked by quality !
@@jakegyllenhaal690 PLSSSS 💀💀😂 brahh
Yup me too I've watched 4 different Jake gyllenhaal movies in the past 5 days lol
You want 500 dolla?
There are two types of people after watching Donnie Darko:
- doesn’t think much about it and goes on with their life
- becomes mega fan of the movie and won’t ever stop talking about it
I’m def the second one 😂
And the 3rd group that thinks is alright.
Just watched it for the first time yesterday. I had 3 different dreams that night an the Chinese girl was in one of them. I also watched "enemy" another movie he's in an one of my dreams that night I was in a car crash jus like the ending. So now I'm a little shook after watching Donnie darko. I'm definitely obsessed with the movie an its meaning now. I been thinking about it all day.
@@robertgarcia7024 haha yep
I'm the second one! 🤣🤣🤣
The fact that Jake wasn’t nominated for his performance in *Nightcrawler* still bothers me to this day
Thank you for sharing that.
no doubt about it
Truly an underrated performance.
there's only so many nomination slots each year. that year, he was competing against Leo (Wolf of Wall St), Chiwetel (12 Years a Slave), Bale (American Hustle), Bruce Dern (Nebraska - awesome performance, too), and the winner McConaughy (Dallas Buyers Club). didn't really have a chance.
Las W I’m pretty sure those actors were nominated in the 2014, whereas Nightcrawler was eligible for nominations in 2015; meaning he would’ve been against Steve Carrell (Fox Catcher), Eddie Redmayne (The Theory of Everything), Bradley Cooper (American Sniper), Michael Keaton (Birdman) and Benedict Cumberbatch (The Imitation Game).
I like how he is an actor before he’s a celebrity , where as most actors these days just seem in it for the fame. You can tell he truly loves what he does.
The sad part is that those who are in it for the art rarely get the recognition they deserve. He genuinely loves his job and could care less about awards. That's why he's never gotten an Oscar. He doesn't campaign for one.
BigJ210 I felt the same. He’s an artist first.
Or, they're ACTING like they are? 🤷♂️
Yeah you don't see actors talk about acting as much as he does.
A lot of actors just act because they can. Jake does it because he can't so he wants to learn so that he CAN do it.
@@downsjmmyjones101 It's the same reason he picks interesting movies rather than the renamed, slightly altered remake of one of the same 4 movies they've made over and over again for the last several decades.
I think Donnie Darko is such a stand out because the acting all around seems very real (compared to other Hollywood films), even with the premise of the movie being supernatural.
Nightcrawler is one of the best movies ever honestly. Lou as a character is very intriguing to watch. The entire time I watched it I was always wanting to know what he was gonna do next. It also shows you the potential lengths a person will go to. Everything he does is real and so relatable. Good flick of Jakes in my opinion. October sky was pretty good too.
I Just finished watching it 5mins ago. F*CK I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT! The ending had me shocked and I almost cried as well:(
I hate when they don't do these in chronological order.
Pretty sure they ended it with Broke Back to please the SJW's
@@glennthing2570 I imagine being around you in real life would be exhausting.
Brad Glenn They ended it with Brokeback because it's an exceptional movie and perhaps the role Jake's the most famous for
What too young??lol
i think they did it in order of the topics and subjects jake gyllenhaal decided to talk about rather than chronological order...therefore it makes more sense that way
I think we can all agree that Jake Gyllenhaal is one of the most underrated actors working today and should have received an Oscar a long time ago...
Sorry he's terrible......he's like Will Smith. Media hyped and being told how awesome he is.....he sucks
@@OttoErotic69 I think we can all agree that Mr Tiny Dancer knows what great acting is all about. s/
@@OttoErotic69 lol no
Tiny Dancer objectively wrong
@Mega Altaria101 if they watched Nightcrawler, Prisoners, Zodiac, etc and they think that he's "terrible", then they don't know what great acting is. They're obviously in the minority with their opinions.
brokeback mountain is so beautiful, i will never get over the ending, it’s truly heartbreaking and beautiful
Hey there, thanks for your likes and support over the years
@@JakeGyllenhaal-hq4xc YOU ARE NOT ACTUALLY HIM! STOP IMPERSONATIN HIM! NOT COOL!
Love those two things that he said; about lending his name to projects so that other people's stories can be heard and that bit at the end, that their experience and an audience's experience of a film are two totally different things. His insight into what he does is super interesting to listen to.
He was genuinely scary in Nightcrawler, one of the best movies I've ever seen
@Conor NurMcgregorov that move is garbage lmao
YahDakes here’s that attention you ordered
@Ash Ketchup nah we weren't talking about nightcrawler it was a different movie I don't remember because he deleted his comment
That is always going to be my favorite movie
it creeped me out so good he did so well
I love how actors who tend to play unstable, murderous sociopaths are usually really laid back and chill in real life
Or maybe theyre just really good at acting chill and are happy to take roles of sociopaths cus thats where they get to be themselves ;)
@@Buckheimer oof
And the ones who play chill dads are rapists
@@Draganox25 This is very true
I guess you've never seen him when he's with Ryan Reynolds lol.
I watched Donnie Darko recently. I didn’t know the siblings were actually related in real life, but already felt the dynamic between the characters was very real and brilliant. it was a great surprise to find out the truth
Donnie Darko is one of my favourite movies of all time. I saw it in. . .I'd say 2001 or 2002 and it really impacted me in a big way. I will love Jake forever because of that movie.
Same. His facial expressions and the way he moves his mouth and eyes has such a quality.
My names Donnie and I really lived that movie more than I should’ve ha.
Same!!!❤
Prisoners is phenomenal. He dissapeared in that roll. He wasn't Jake Gyllenhaal. He was Detective Loki.
favorite movie
I believe it was his best role, he was completely believable.
*disappeared
Agreed! My favorite Jake G character.
What about the cartoonist on the zodiac
This man is a phenomenal actor. The fact that he doesn't have an Oscar says way more about the Oscars than it does him. He will always be one of my favorites! I'm sure of it.
ani me he’s still got time. He will for sure get one.
There are so many cases in which an actor has never won an Oscar or wasn't even nominated when they should've been. The Oscars are a joke sometimes.
I agree. He is one of my favourite actors as well. He should get an Oscar for his acting because it's insane how good he can act.
He's a normal person.a genuine guy. Seems like a big turnoff to hollywood when it comes to awards.I feel that has a lot to do with it.
it’s unfuckingbelievable how he didn’t get one for prisoners and nightcrawler
I just watched Brokeback Mountain for the first time a couple days ago. It absolutely broke me, and made me sad for a few days. but i absolutely think the actors were amazing :))
Hey there, thanks for your love and support over there years
“Art is to disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed” Noted
He nailed all his roles. Such a great actor. He deserves an oscar tbh.
What happened with his Brokeback Mountain performance?
Uhhh “Prince of Persia”?
@@hellfish2309 that was bad writing.
Yes
the fact that he wasnt nominated for nightcrawler is a huuuge overlook by the academy.. i was convinced it was his year, not even a nom..
He became so affected talking about Brokeback Mountain. You could feel his emotions about to bubble-up. Hence the little laugh at the end.
Heath Ledger what a loss!
Fatima Mirza Weird parallel with Keanu and River in My Own Private Idaho. Why do we lose the brilliant lights?
I got emotional too :C
I miss Heath every day
Probably cause of that ramming he took. Lol
@@timmytimtimm9089 jesus-
For me his role in Jarhead was very very important to me, I have a lot of family and friends who are Gulf War veterans and his portrayal of Swofford always made for a great way to show people a little insight for how a soldier feels when deployed, especially when my time came and the movie made a lot of sense in some parts.
He shows so much gratitude and joy when he speaks about his filmmaking. I think it’s very telling when you look at the movies that he’s made and the people he continues to collaborate, with that he truly loves his craft. Also such a great sense of humor. Bravo to you Jake! You’ll have that Oscar one day 👏🙌
Is it me who enjoy this style of interview without hearing the interviewer questions?
Well it depends on how they execute it. I think it works here but sometimes it doesn't and ends up confusing the viewers.
There are no questions to hear though, he's going through each of his films.
@@baronvonhoughton You can hear people engaging with him throughout the video. They are definitely saying things, but are also letting him do all the talking. And there are cuts where he is obviously asked a question. He says "Yes, so.." and then goes onto explain something a couple times after cuts.
I prefer to hear what they want to say.
@@samarkhan6442 great answer
I wish Heath was alive to talk to us about his moments and breakdown his iconic characters...
He would’ve had many great roles since the 12 years he’s been gone
@@dead0ntime even the ones who played were great. And I don't solely mean the dark Knight. He was an underappreciated actor
Dead on Time yeah and he was suppose to play The Joker again
@@randycrawford1132 That was true and I just wish he was still alive steal the show as Joker one more time in Batman 3...😞
All 4 of them? Just cos he dead doesn't mean he was great. He had 4 good roles and in only 2 of them were he great.
Brokeback Mountain had so many jokes made about it, the movie itself kind of became a joke, which is a real shame, because it's one of the most compelling, heartbreaking and tragic love stories in Hollywood cinema, imo.
I don’t remember the jokes, just remember that it was a heartbreaking masterpiece.
The movie is not a joke tho..I watched it a month ago.such a great one!
I remember getting mad when it didn't win the Oscar for best movie
Most guys jus make fun of it cuz we can’t relate
Then go watch Call Me By Your Name. Both of those films are master pieces.
5:44 “The job of art is to disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed” that is the truest quote I’ve ever heard in my entire life. That’s my favourite. I’ve never held onto a quote before but that one spoke to me on another level
Thanks for your unending love and support. I can't get enough of the love you've been showing me which has been an inspiration to my career. I'm grateful. How long have you been my fan?
Shows how incredible he is as an actor when you don’t have time to talk about Source Code, Prisoners, Zodiac, Nocturnal Animals, Jarhead etc
I was really hoping to hear about Prisoners and Enemy, Zodiac, and Source Code.
also Southpaw, It was amazing movie.
@@TomAKAVeto Everyone forgets Enemy. Super underrated but understandably too independent for this list.
Pretty much everything he's made since Prince of Persia is amazing.
I wanted to hear about Velvet Buzzsaw too.
Should have gotten at least an Oscar nomination for Nightcrawler.
It was one of those perfomances where you completely forget about the actor and he trully brings the character to life.
Boris G nice profile picture
Paxton was excellent in that as well.
I recently saw that film. Super overrated.
It’s a good movie not great but the acting was amazing
His character in that movie really had an effect on me, such great acting.
End of Watch is an amazing film. It very accurately portrays the relationship brothers in arms have for one another.
Best underrated flim
This series is such a blessing - to hear the actors talk about their experience - without selling or marketing or being a celebrity - just as an artist. Bravo -
Jake really does sound like a director more than an actor when he speaks. He is so incredibly focused on method and meaning behind rolls and things like that. I feel like we will all one day look back on the Incredible movies he has directed.
I see what you mean. And he is really down to earth
I am not in the film industry, but I do think Jake will be an incredible acting coach or mentor or professor simply based on how he dissects his characters and how he executes on screen. Every time, he delivers a masterful performance. He basically American Christian Bale minus the temper
Yea I bet he can make great rolls
@@davidwoods1188 I see this joke every time and it never gets old to me.
O
Demolition, Southpaw, Jarhead, Prisoner, Brothers, Zodiac.... Man, this interview could’ve and should’ve been twice as long, so therefore it’s a testament to his already legendary career.
Brothers is a very good movie. Toby kind of overshadows him in that though.
@@WallyWorld21485 I concur. Probably the only time Jakey has ever been upstaged.
Thank you for reminding me Demolition exists.
don't forget Enemy.
Nocturnal Animals!!
The best part about Louis is that he already has had character development before the story even begins and he is just that person till the end.
His Nightcrawler performance is one of the great performances in my lifetime. Its flawless.
Jake Gyllenhaal would make a great director if he even decided to be one
Daewoo Lanos that would be awesome
i read this as dictator yet i still agreed
@@Pickotito lol ,i mean he could be great anything ..
Pickotito 😂😂
@@Pickotito I'm so grateful for this image you've put in my head.

Ah yes absolutely yes. Hahaha
Absolutely!
Anyone else on a Jake Gyllenhaal?
🙋🏿♀️
Sidekik94 omfg yes how’d you know haha
I’ve never once been disappointed by a JG performance
brokeback mountain will always be one of my favourite films, absolutely heartbreaking and beautiful. i adore jake and heaths performance
Jake Gyllenhaal is a chameleon. He can morph into any character you can imagine. A true legendary actor.
Yet he's playing Mysterio :0
@@AbhiMoz is that bad?
He is a true actor no lie
Most people are legendary actors.
People every day in reality are pretending to be someone else and are far more convincing at it... just check your history of heartbreak and conflict.
Most times born out of situations where you are faced with actors you've invested in.
Not sure why people worship actors so much.
It's the easiest job in the world.
Paul Smith And they pay you very well
He's so soft spoken and humble and weird and genuinely funny, he really is *the* dream guy
facts
Humble? I don’t know 🤔. I hear a lot of me and I when he speaks.
@@EnsignRedSquad well it's an interview...about him
@@EnsignRedSquad are you dumb
Interview etiquette 101: use "we" not "me" so as to at least (give the impression of) humility.
Jake's role in nocturnal animals is definately up there with Nightcrawler
Jake Gyllenhaal is a man that makes me question my heterosexuality. He's just looks so perfect.
feel the same
Y'all might be bi
@@TheVikingActual 💀💀💀
this but im a woman, hes just something else entirely
His humbleness has made it to Keanu Reeves level. What a down to earth humble human being
my thoughts exactly!
They should be in a movie together!
TKvids 13 they definitely should!!
I would definitely watch a movie with both of them in it.
Yeah! They are both very adorable
The way he talked about how proud he was of Brokeback Mountain gave me chills. It’s a beautiful film
Katie: I so agree. I even fantasized about a different ending, where his wife was understanding and agreed the THREE of them would find a small ranch, out of town, and the two men could be the "couple", and she'd be the "beard". And, they'd all live "happily after ever".
arx754 I would’ve loved that ending, but I think the current one works better at showing the grim reality of the time
@@stephaniesummer2663 : Yes, I know. Was just a nice fantasy that I played out in my head. Totally unrealistic if it had ended that way and would make for a pointless film.
arx754 There’s a video where someone edited and photoshopped scenes to make it look like Jack faked his death and they ran away to Brokeback Mountain. Thought you might like it.
czcams.com/video/_Bv2WOQn4ng/video.html
oh my god how did i forget that he stars in that movie.
omg everybody replayed the brokeback mountain part the most. That movie, Jack and Ennis will be forever iconic.
His love for his sister is so wholesome!! I love him!!!
How in the world is Prisoners not on this list...
I was waiting for it too
But Brokeback Mountain just kept going and going.
Detective Loki is his best performance
Jarhead, Brothers, Zodiac, Nocturnal Animals... So many films that weren't in the video... I didn't see Stronger but i doubt that it could be at that level (exept if the mesurmeant to pick a topic is his performance)
I was waiting for Prisoners, Brothers, and Enemy....
Only reason I clicked on this video. Det. Loki is a fascinating character.
Still salty Jake didn’t get an Oscar for Nightcrawler
that year, there was no way he was beating McConaughy in Dallas Buyers' Club, Leo in Wold of Wall St, or Ejiofor in 12 Years a Slave. no way.
@@Las-yv5id Nightcrawler was eligible for the 2015 Oscar, not the 2014
@Sam Sguanch Producers and executives care. It sucks, but there are lots of producers that have a say in the casting of movies and when the Academy recognizes you for even a nomination, it opens a lot of doors for your career. It's not everything, and plenty of people have a successful career without an Oscar (Such as Leo DiCaprio) but it also doesn't hurt.
@Sam Sguanch Yes he did, but that was his first after 30 years in Hollywood making blockbusters. I'm not saying that the awards are anything special to the rest of us, I'm just saying who would care like you asked.
same here!!!
The fact I haven't seen a soul bring up "Enemy" brings a tear to my eye. The guy literally played 2 lead roles in the same film.
Donny Darko, Nightcrawler, Zodiac, Prisoners - Jake Gyllenhaal is pure class!
the most disgusting thing about nightcrawler was that he didn't get an oscar for it.
Mackie Messer was he nominated??
@@ilovehomies420 Nope. Wasn't even nominated.
He ate that movie and left no crumbs. Just brilliant.
@@trever2244 ...he was the perfect Nightcrawler. But he could take an award almost any time. I'm still amazed at the parts he plays. Darko as a teen was one of the most intense roles ever seen,
Great film, not exactly an Oscar performance though. Not sure what you're on about
"The job of art is to disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed".
So true! His dad is a wise man.
yes! I love this
Eleanor Roosevelt said it actually
A wise woman
Currently on a Jake Gyllenhaal marathon. So far, Nightcrawler and Prisoners are hands down one of the best movies I have EVER seen!
I woke up one night to the scene where Donnie is stabbing the mirror being on cable and watched the movie later on and became kind of obsessed with the film. Great people casted. When I bought it on dvd and watched it with all the commentaries I realized especially with the commentary with the "Darko" family actors that they had a great time making this movie together.
What he said about Brokeback Mountain moves me so much- what a humble human, Brokeback Mountain still is one of my favorite movies
Pei Liu Felt it too!
One of the greatest love story ever told.
Yeah totally agree. You have Ig?
So wild to remember when it came out and people were protesting it and how it wasn’t allowed in so many cities/states
@@DominicanOps kinda weird to ask that.
End of Watch and Nightcrawler are two of the most criminally underated films of this decade. Mark my words. Jake Gyllenhaal will win an Oscar eventually.
he really shouldve gotten one for nightcrawler... people slept on that movie so hard
Enemy is easily his most underrated performance.
Oh my god. An Oscar for best animated short film? No one would be more deserving
@@mcaulfield1969 haha
He should have won for Brokeback Mountain
I spoke to a real detective once who said his portrayal in Prisoners was extremely spot on and accurate. While I did not ask him to elaborate, I can say that the subtleties of that performance were amazing.
Seeing him talk in this interview makes wonder if he’s a quiet shy professor, or a confident outgoing womanizer.
We can only wonder
Nice ENEMY reference man!!
@@marcussavidis2092 thanks
:') he's so wholesome and sincere and articulate
Agreed.
That's why I love him so much
Yes, all of these! I couldn't figure out how to say what I wanted to about Jake in this interview, but you summarized it better than I ever could. He's so genuine and humble (here, and during other interviews too) when talking about his experience and success.
Well, said. ♥️
True liked listen to him I think he unfortunately more the unique kind of actor who sees greater things than fame and money
The ending of Brokeback Mountain, literally just breaks my heart. The ending literally just has me in tears every time.
Neonravekid the very definition of a tragedy.
I remember watching it in a cinema when it came out and that scene plays out literally seconds before lights come up. I was in tears and there was no way I could hide it. It traumatised me so much I haven't had the courage to watch the movie again 😂
I can never watch it again because last time I cried for a solid 3 hours later and I couldn't do anything I was so depressed and sad. It's a movie that really brings out the emotions you were keeping inside
Of course it does.
Heath in that scene is absolutely astonishing. To me, he is the best actor of all time.
the way he describes brokeback mountain and Ang lee directing was so beautiful!!!
Wow, that last part - what a humble and beautiful soul.
"The job of art is to disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed." - Jake's dad.
Its interesting. I tried to find who originally said that. A couple of people are famous for it, most notably Banksy.
@@nathanm.6147 New theory... Jake's dad is Banksy.
Niamh-Creates I had that thought when he said it too😂
This is Salvador Dali... give the respect to the real person. Not Jake’s dad or Banksy? Haha
I wish they would’ve asked him about Zodiac
Same
I know like that movie isn’t FULL of amazing actors, must’ve been some funny stories while filming
ye and about Nocturnal Animals, lovely film
I was waiting for that one too.
Yeah, I was hoping to see Southpaw
brokeback literally broke my heart i think about it all the time
Nightcrawler is one of my favorite movies of all times. One of my go-to’s when people ask me for movie recommendations and every single person loves it.
"Donnie Darko" and "Nightcrawler" are my two favorites of his, but there's also "Jarhead", "Source Code", and especially "Zodiac" and "Prisoners". Lots of good JG movies.
ENEMY
@@elifarfan340 enemy is a perverted masterpiece
South paw
"End of Watch" is also a great movie
Brokeback is one of his best too
He's one of the most versatile actors. That's what i like about him.
true, it never feels like multiple of his characters are the same type of person, which is a thing you often get with actors.
October sky is one of the most underrated movies of all time
Donnie Darko was recommended by my sister who is one year younger than me. I’m 37 now.
This reminds me of my torment around that time, which is why I think she recommends it, which now reminds me of her
Sad world when Jake Gyllenhaal, Joaquin Phoenix, Ralph Fiennes, and so many talented actors didn't win an oscar
Its more sad when people think an Oscar defines the talent of an actor.

And Daniel Daaa.... oh wait
Btw. Ralph and Joaquin are on my top 5 list.
He is so well spoken and intelligent about how he sees his characters. I could listen to him all day long!
one of my favorite actors so glad to know he likes all of his roles !
two thoughts:
disappointed he didn't discuss prisoners, great movie with a great performance
it's so lovely whenever he talks about maggie, he's always full of praise for her
I loved loved detective loki & Jake's acting in that role is just chef kiss!! My man was so good!
My God he is so well spoken and thoughtful with his words.
They really need to make a Part 2? Just one video doesn't do HIM Justice.
Yea! YEA!!
For sure, he didnt even get to his prisoners character which is my favorite character he played, real good. That and his nightcrawler probably my top 2.
I'm sure he will do plenty more interviews! *fingers crossed*
First time I’ve seen October sky the ending made me cry so much especially when his dad is proud of what homer accomplished
"Even when we despise them, we love them deeply." Most accurate quote for siblings 🙌
You know his career is godlike when they didn't even talk about Jarhead, Zodiac, Prisoners, Source Code, Nocturnal Animals, and many others
Life?
Nocturnal animals, prisoners and night crawler were amazing!!! All very underrated films
They seriously didn't talk about Jarhead... pitty
Enemy >.
That's a shame, was hoping to hear his thoughts on acting in Source Code and Jarhead.
I’m surprisingly surprised at how deep Jake is. A legit artist
lol are you also going through all these interviews right now?
@@danielz5554 just the actors I admire. Algorithm put this interview in my feed
Spooky yup
He's a very insightful and thoughtful man as well as a great actor
O
i like the way he expresses himself, hes very eloquent
Thanks for your endless love and support. I can't get enough of the love you've been showing me which has been an inspiration to my career. I'm grateful. How long have you been my fan?
Jake was an actor that i was fortunate enough to see grow. This man i hope gets an award, but i think he has the repertoire but he needs that one big act. Jake has been an our generation actor & i think he deserves a bigger than life role. Jake is on the up and i look forward to it. Leo took forever & i feel Jake might be on the same vein
Would have loved a full 40 minutes of this so he could talk about his other great roles as well!
amen!
I love how 75% of this is Jake complementing other actors.
Rusty Buckets I love how you don’t know the difference between compliment and complement.
@@deadreckoner5276 I guess I should hire an editor.
Jake both compliments and complements these actors
Lou Bloom and the entirety of Nightcrawler, including the meaning of it, sticks with me and will forever. One of the greatest films I've ever seen.
The delivery of "I wish I knew how to quit you", always makes me emotional.
I'm sad Southpaw and Prisoners wasn't on this list.
Same, Prisoners is one of my all time favorite movies and made me appreciate Gyllenhaal as an actor
Southpaw, Prisoners and Nocturnal Animals are 3 of my favorite movies ever. Very sad they weren't discussed.. WE NEED A PART 2!
I watched the vid waiting for the part about Jarhead, disappointed
Yes Southpaw and Prisoners were amazing.
IKR!! Ugh I love those two movies so much
This is probably the best episode I've seen. He is so honest and affectionate when talking about his peers and what has shaped him.
Ikr
Yes he is. I've noticed that about him through his interviews. I love how honest and genuine and just...human he is lol.
never had a favorite actor before until recently I went on a movie marathon and Jake Gyllenhaal was unpurposefully in nearly ever single one
I'm depressed Jarhead wasn't featured. I feel like Jake did an amazing job in that. There's even a commentary you can turn on if you have the disc featuring Anthony Swofford himself, and he said that Jake did a splendid job.
