Ethan Hawke Breaks Down His Most Iconic Characters | GQ - Zábava
I love how instead of talking about himself, he spent the entire video giving credit to others. What a cool dude
yeah i didnt love that part
I concur, humble, kind and in it to create not to be a spectacle!. Amazing filmography.
"What a dude" is actually better.
@@carlosparra8976 someone doesnt have to talk about themselves for you to get to know about them.
@@carlosparra8976 why?
This guy is utter class. Pure class praising his peers, humble and just loving his craft. Respect.
yes
so true, such insight. Ethan is Renaissance man ... multi talented ; he's a really good writer as well ... check out his books !
@@Dance_of_a_tree_called_life any recommendations?
Allan Nielsen yes you said it well.
Well gosh I HAVE to say, my whole life when an actor speaks about who they worked with they just gush about how amazing they are.
Ethan hardly has had bad movies, one of the most consistent actors dropping great movies for 30 years. Definitely underrated underappreciated
Well, Dead Poets Society is an absolute stinker. Ham-fisted, boorishly obvious and schmalzy; one of the most inexplicably and severely overrated films I've ever seen. But Hawke is an incredible actor and filmmaker (The Good Lord Bird is just totally fantastic) and I agree that barring DPS (which he was least responsible for!), his batting average is just out of this world. Very, very talented and superlative taste in projects.
I mean I love Ethan but he’s definitely had bad movies man
@@gethaunted just out of curiosity what movies of his do you consider bad
@@gloverelaxis That's an incredibly controversial opinion. Yet you say it like it's common knowledge.
@@gloverelaxis were you drunk when you wrote this comment?
I love when he talks about how he fell in love with Uma in the set of Gattaca and had Maya afterwards.
I really like how he really BREAKS DOWN his characters with deep thought and vivid opinion and talked to the audience like an old friend.
Also really like he give credits to all the writers in his movies
Exactly. Best one in the whole series.
agreed, he knocked this interview out of the park
Except for Explorers. He doesn't actually say anything about that movie.
Hawke is a well paced humble communicator
Oh yeah and he’s really cute lol
ethan always talks about the other important people involved in each film before speaking about himself. he speaks so passionately about each project he's a part of, a true master of his craft and is leeeeeagues above every other actor in this series.
He just name droppin
Yeah I completely agree. And whenever his co stars are asked about him they always hold him in the highest regard
I watched this video "Before Sunrise"
No doubt!!!! Makes this one of if not the best one of these things I've watched. Much respect 🙏
Lol, no.
Gattaca is literally one of the best science fiction movies ever written. The soundtrack is one of the most haunting and amazing pieces of music I have ever heard in my life. They didn't spend *nearly* enough time talking about it.
Yes! Just saw it for the first time last week. I was blown away!
Great film
I love that movie, the soundtrack makes me cry
Gattaca was amazing.
When I first realized WHY it was called Gattaca (DNA, for those who don't know-A,C,T,G.) it blew me away.
It is a great movie! My dad was a philosophy professor, and he made a syllabus for that movie in his class.
One of the most underrated actors of his generation.
I agree. I rate him so highly but am surprised its not a highly common opinion. Beautiful actor.
I love how introspective and self-aware he is. A true artist, and one of the best actors alive.
Calling an actor an "artist" is like calling a paintbrush or guitar an artist. They are just tools to create someone else's vision.
@@WaRLoKWYATT Debatable with certain actors. Art is an expression as well, not purely tangible.
"Most people look exactly like their mom and dad", he is hysterical while stating the obvious. Loved that line.
If they don't, the mailman may know more than he lets on.
"when you're in eight grade, you know where you'll be in 3 years. 11th grade!"
That little half smile when the producer mentions Maya, he’s very proud of his daughter obviously!
“ You can’t have real confidence without experience “ absolutely
“‘Hey, That’s My Bike’ is still the best name ever for a band.”
him talking about River Phoenix more than talking about his own character in Explorers was just so sweet. You can really tell how much he admired him
Agree!
I wish he also would've talked about Philip Hoffman
As having seen most of River Phoenix's movies I can't really blame him. He was masterclass at age 16 (Stand By Me). He would've been regarded as the Pachino of his generation today,
@@darkly666 He was actually 14 in Stand By Me! 😊

Brooklyn's Finest
Yess
He literally promotes everyone else before himself. What a nice, humble guy.
Absolutely love the "before" trilogy. Up there on my all-time favorite movies list. The fact that I'm the same age as the characters and have seen all the movies as soon as they came out helps. They really capture the maturity level, complications, ideals, etc. of the character's ages, and while to me they're snapshots of their exact years and times of my life, there's still an incredibly timeless aspect to them.
Just watched all three in one night 😔 fire asf
Yeah, they're a very beautiful portrait of real-life love itself. Some of the most purely romantic films ever, I think.
Yeah! I’m currently between the ages Before Sunset and Before Midnight and currently finding the latter movie too difficult to rewatch. It really covers the life milestones to a painful degree.
His passion shines through so easily, I could listen to him talk about anything for hours. What an absolutely superb actor
Agreed, he is in the next level of human kind: beyond ego, fame or money, he is generating art. :-)
i 100% agree, tho i have already listened to him talk for hours and watched his movies and movies he was casted in. Truly a suberb actor and great, beautiful person :)
I walked by Ethan Hawke in Brooklyn a year or 2 ago and he was literally just standing in the middle of a block party talking to strangers on the stoop of their walk-up just enjoying the day. He's the coolest guy.
Thanks so much for all your love and support, feel free to message me on hangout

For anyone who hasn't seen his movie Gattaca, please watch that. I's easily his best movie and probably the most underrated movie of all time. Such a good hidden gem.
Just rewatched it recently, please see it if you haven't
Its absolutely a great film. So underrated
I came here for Gattaca
It's available on Netflix if you haven't seen it yet! So please watch it and I’m so thankful my biology teacher showed it in class cause wow, what a film! ❤️
@@QUARTERMASTEREMI6 it's my favourite sci-fi film. The Matrix was game-changing, I love solid space adventures with a human story, but this film is everything that successful sci-fi strives to be: bigger than its budget, ambitious and expansive in its narrative, but about small stories and simple human compulsions at its core. It's always just been slightly ahead of where we are viewing it, so it works as a relatable cautionary tale and inspirational one too. Cracking score as well 😃
when he talked about dead poets society and robert and robin was just amazing, ethan hawke is truly an amazing actor
Thank you very much for your lovely words, I really do appreciate it. Tell me what's your favorite movie of all my movies you have seen so far?
Ethan Hawke is one of the most Underrated actors in Hollywood.
👌
This is a serious question: Why do you say "he is one of the most underrated actors in Hollywood"? He has 4 Oscar noms in addition to other acting and writing noms and some hollywood Awards Wins, he's made some terrific movies w/ A+ directors some of whom have sought him out for the role. How is that "underrated"? Maybe Out There in Audience-movieland - ? Anyway, just really curious about that characterization. I think he's one of the best actors of his generation; have seen a lot of his movies and when I see he's cast, I take a serious look because, well, I rate him very-highly! W/ respect.
Mark Kingston I agree with you!
JK N when you ask someone who are the best actors around, what are the chances of Ethan being named? That’s how I see who is underrated or not. But as all things, underrated and overrated are different views for everyone
Ethan Hawke sucks.
I drove him twice in my cab. Randomly, couple of years apart. Nicest guy. We talked both times.
I told about it to another passenger, and she's like: "Oh yeah, I ran into him a few times on the street and coffee shops and such..."
Apparently when he's in NYC he just goes around his business almost like regular people.
Thanks for sharing dmitriy. He seems like a very humble and thoughtful guy. I get the sense he's fascinated with people and characters and this feeds into his personable personality. He must've been a joy to have as a fare!
I ran into him in a restaurant in LA maybe in 2003 or so. He was super nice.
I would love to meet him!! I think I would instantly fall in love with him 😁
Lucky you! Now if you drive him a third time, you'll have your own Before trilogy haha.
@Rory O'Donnell I know this is an old comment but, I'm curious what do you guys say to each other?
I still see Todd Anderson welp MY HEART, HE'S BEAUTIFUL 😭
Thank you very much for your lovely words, I really do appreciate it. Tell me what's your favorite movie of all my movies you have seen so far?
GQ: "Ethan Hawke Breaks Down HIS Most Iconic Characters"
Ethan Hawke: (spends 90% of the video talking about everyone else's iconic roles)
Serge J He’s too humble to be praising himself, he’d rather praise others.
That's why he's awsome
He loves talented people.
i noticed that too :)
Hes clearly a fan of the actors and d directors he worked with. Ethan's is a cool guy.
What a humble, talented, eloquent man
He isn't really "eloquent" but he is everything else you said. One of my favorite actors.
Zabieru McCloud you do know what eloquent means, right?
Agreed. I want to sit on his face.
Couldn't agree more, three perfect words
If he ain't eloquent I dunno who am
ethan hawke is a national treasure. please protect him at all costs
Weird.
Hes a grown man. He can protect himself
What happened to White Fang? That was a classic. They actually used real animals compared to the remake.
Hella weird tf noone wants to hurt bro🤦♂️
He sucks
"I never saved anything for the swim back." - Gattaca. Amazing movie.
Yessss!! 🙌 Gattaca is Top 10 all time 👏
"I like people like me." Ethan Hawke. Brilliant.
He is such a humble, non-pretentious actor
One of the best GQ Iconic interviews. Excellent memory and ability to express what was going on at the time and during the production.
Thing is in some ways they're kind of starting to remind me of like Inside The Actors Studio, but when it got to seasons like 7, 8 and 9, and so on. For as often as the series is being done, you're kind of running out of actors that truly warrant such a deep dive. I've seen some thumbnails for ones with actors I like perfectly fine, but "their iconic roles"? Iconic? Some of these people they've featured have accumulated MAYBE 2-3 really indelible characters so far, at best. Or, I guess they can do more, just don't pretend it's a slew of incredible roles.
His brain!! Those blue eyes. His crooked teeth. That suit. Gah. But mostly, he's so well spoken. I've read two of his books. He's the ultimate Scorpio man.
Thank you very much for your lovely words, I really do appreciate it. Tell me what's your favorite movie of all my movies you have seen so far?
@@ethanhawke8369 Hey Ethan whats up.
What's wrong with his teeth?
@@therealboomhauer69nothing. They look very normal. It’s just most celebrities have creepily perfect looking teeth.
Gattaca. My absolute favorite film of all friggin' time.
Breaks my heart that it didn't get the recongnition it deserved.
"that script was ice hot"
- Ethan Hawke.
Jordan TRusso I love his enthusiasm
He’s right though, training day’s script was fire on ice
i remember Denzel being on Letterman and the first thing he said was "We had a TIGHT script"
Him and Keanu have aged so well. Gives me hope now that I’m in my 40s
And you still wear hoodies and timbs??
Sometimes, definitely not baggy like I did 13 years ago when I created the name and took the profile pic.
Amen to that!
yeah but do you have millions of dollars like they do for the best skin care, personal trainers, dietitians, ect
@@nicolaypastore You think Ethan and Keanu spent millions on superficial things to look young...? Two of the most reclusive, humble, and openly conscious actors there is. There's a thing called genetics, they exist even in Hollywood. People can just "age gracefully" hence the existence of the saying.
He spends so much time complementing the other people he’s worked with and building them up..that really says a lot about a fella.
Love the way Ethan talks about his experiences and his reverence for those who he worked alongside. Very genuine.
It's simple. No he is not underrated. He just isn't problematic or fame thirsty like some other hollywood celebs who feel the need to be in the spotlight all the time. Some are in for the art and not the spotlight.
He's still underrated on pure acting ability. He doesn't get mentioned enough
The reason that he's not considered (?) A-list, is that he played in some/ many movies that didn't turned out great in the end, not just billion dollar budget films. But he's an amazing, skillfull, insightful actor with curiosity and respect to the craft. That fact that some of his masterpiece movies are genre-movies or not mainstream is just a indication of the taste of the masses.
True words
Facts.
ugh shut it
Now that is passion. Compare this to other iconic character videos and you'll find that his love for the craft runs deep. The detail he remembers in each films he starred in is astounding, and the emotion in his narration is just so alive and vivid. What a talent.
Predestination is a criminally underrated movie
General population audience does not want to think they want to be wowed.
true
so was gattaca
Ethan Hawk is definitely one of my favorite actors, because he is so believable in every role he plays. He really inhabits his characters.
This is the best video of the series. So much indepth analysis into the characters and the process of filmmaking.
certainly one of my favorites.
Underrated af
Vince N. yep, Gattaca perhaps the best movie I’ve ever seen
VERY
How is he underrated???
apimpnameslickback Have you seen Predestination? A better sci-fi imo.
I think he's getting a lot more recognition as time goes by. It helps that he keeps doing really good roles really well.
I really wanted to see him talk about Sinister
Hawke should've won Best Supporting Actor for Training Day. I was happy that Denzel won the Oscar but Hawke was absolutely surreal and incredible in that film as well and had perfect chemistry with Denzel. Pure and authentic. I personally think that's his best role in his entire career.
This guy has got a good nose for projects. I love 90% of the films he's done.
Yeah, it's funny how certain actors/actresses just know how to pick them. Sinister is one of those. I saw horror movie and Ethan Hawke and it seemed crazy but I knew it had to be at least decent because he chose it and it was low budget. Of course, it turned out to be a great movie
@@jshshh1041 dude i forgot about sinister
Jsh Shh sinister is one of the only scary movies that I can remember that struck me with legitimate fear. It left me with this dark eeriness. I couldn’t even sleep the night I watched it. That’s the mark of a true horror film. The soundtrack was probably one of the most terrifying things about the movie
Clayton Foreman So true! I rewatched it several times because I loved it so much, genuinely scary film. Those tapes are terrifying. The lawnmower scene...
That is very true
Gattaca is literally still in my top 10 movies.
Gattaca has been my #1 since it came out. High Five! This vid makes me wanna watch predestination :P
Haven't seen it but have watched most his movies.. loved him in Maudie, before trilogy , boyhood, training day etc
@@highlyfavored2434 For its budget and time, it was a very artsy and philosophical take on the sci-fi genre. Highly recommend. Great dystopian flick.
One of my top 10 too. Actually #5. "I never saved anything for the swim back" is my life motto.
The other night I watched Gattaca with my teenage daughter. Her first time watching it. The ending with Jerome/Eugene wrecked her, but she understood why I love that movie so much.
The greatest sci fi movies go after the big philosophical questions. Gattaca is right up there with Blade Runner 2049, Ex Machina and children of men.
Predestination is MASSIVELY underrated!
The Before Trilogy is one of my favourite set of movies. So charming
"Most people look like their mom and dad."
Love it. Snort-giggled.
wileykylie76 😄 right?!!
--"it's amazing that Maya looks just like you and Uma!"
--"well, yah, people act like celebrities are different, but most people look like their mom and dad........."
Oda Lanizi yeah that was kinda a dumb comment
but a common one lol
Most actors would of taken it as a compliment, but Ethan has a level head on his shoulders.
Well, the difference is that millions of people nod and agree to the comment Maya Hawke looks like Uma and only about 20 people know both our parents and ourselves and can agree to that idea.
nay jay-Ummm no she looks like both of them
He could of played Dr Steven Strange and I wouldn't of minded.
I’ve unintentionally seen a lot of movies with him and they have all been super good. Especially Gattaca, it’s a masterpiece
Ethan Hawke is the A24 version of Tom Hanks
+Jake D Ignore the other response you got about Tom Hanks being a pedophile. The root of this claim is as ridiculous as it gets.
what a great analogy! couldn't have said it better myself.
The accuracy.
I am in awe of how on-the-nose this analogy is. Well done!
Completely different, they are complete opposite. Hanks it the ultimate Hollywood actor who make these commercial movies. Ethan is much more on the fringe.
when he talked about river phoenix.. i got chills. you could tell how much he loved him and you could hear his voice straining
How has this man remained so down to earth and authentic surrounded by Hollywood?
A comment he made encapsulates him "artsy, without being airy fairy".
One of few American actors that marries both the strong man and artistic aspects.
This honestly blew me away, without surprising me. Just brilliant.
I rewatched this after having the pleasure of meeting Ethan at the Woodstock Film Festival recently where he got an award. He's really amazing and so interesting to listen too. One of my favorite actors now.
I wanna have an Ethan Hawke movie marathon now!
One of the few celebrities that Im happy remains relevant. He doesnt talk about himself as some godlike being creating gold out of coal with every film he does. Hes genuinely loves the art form. And the Before trilogy is by far my favorite trilogy in film. It captures the changing shifts in lives so naturally.
Thank you very much for your lovely words, I really do appreciate it. Tell me what's your favorite movie of all my movies you have seen so far?
I love how he spoke of River Phoenix.
The whole thing about 'casting for the right colour' kinda blows my mind... it's so simple and so genius, no wonder those last scenes were so moving... I think you could see this with Carrey in the Truman Show as well.
The lack of chronological order here drives me nuts.
Probably the predestination effect😂
YUP
AmeagleWard I only liked this cause it was the hundredth.
yeah even The Before Trilogy movies were listed out of order...whyyy
🙄
Love Gattaca. Don't undersell yourself in Training Day. That bathroom scene was the only scene I still remember today.
melvina628 Gattica is a quintessential dystopian future story. Watching it brought me back to my youth as a voracious Sci-fi reader
melvina628 nah the scene he drives that monte carlo is one of the best scenes ever made
@@transikk I will refresh my memory.
The bathroom scene is also one of my favorite scenes in Training Day; Mr. Hawke’s performance conveyed the gravity of Alonzo Harris’ betrayal. In that moment, you felt for him. He CRUSHED it in that film, but THAT scene in particular.
@@BobbyFett3994 True.
In Brooklyn's finest he delivers one of his best performances.
Yea the movie itself was eh but he did great
It came full circle and he was acting like Alonzo.
@@MaverickSolo_115 I thought his motivation in the film was pure. He wanted better for his family and you could relate to his desperation. Denzel was selfish in his acts.
Watching this interview it made want to watch some of his films I hadn’t seen before.
The Before Trilogy ❤️
Before Sunset..best ending I've ever seen.
Ted Okoroji Never saw one of them. They never seem to be on TV much
They would be ruined by commercial interruption
Pat Tanackered Should watch that. Pretty easy to find online. One of the best Romantic movie ever.
I've never seen any of these movies. At one point I'll have to watch them back to back.
*Training day* is a classic movie🔥
*Ethan hawke* is One of the most underrated actors of this Era🐐
Actually, directors, critics and fans love him for his works. Fortunately his profile is not in superheroes trash movies because of his eloquence and ethics which are not about blockbusters or high salary.
I saw you not to long ago but not sure where was it on a Asian andy video or was it those shark attack videos? Or that XX tenaction really don't remember
Of this entire GQ series of actors talking about their career vids, Ethan's is the absolute best. Icon.
Thank you very much for your lovely words, I really do appreciate it. Tell me what's your favorite movie of all my movies you have seen so far
The fact that you didn't put White Fang makes my heart drop
Ah snap I forgot about white fang!
I think Ethan Hawke is the best "underground" actor
Alonso Herrera Him and Joaquin Phoenix.
Ive always liked him. Great actor and seems like a legit dude.
Underground? Actually they are internationally famous, any actor not underground would kill for having their trajectory.
yeah, nowadays underground means not playing a superhero
yes.
He's almost having an out of body experience, like he is floating above his body describing his life in past tense
What
LMFAOOOO EXACTLY THE WAY HE TALKS SO FAST AND HE ENTHUSIASTICALLY REMEMBERS EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED IN THE PAST WITHOUT A DOUBT WOW
Thanks so much for all your love and support feel free to message me on hangout
ethanhawke422@gmail.com
Before Sunrise and Gattaca are some of my favorite movies of all time, such amazing performances, they are absolutely classic.
Ethan, if your reading this, thank you! Introduced my sone to Dead Poet Society and it once again revitalized its sheer “organic” tone. Goes to show you how in an era of marvel and cgi everywhere you look, movies like DPS still can inspire even today’s audience! So bravo to you and Peter and whole team. Enjoyed catching up on your journey! Wishing you much continued success!
The Before Trilogy
Do something with you life and watch them. Do NOT have a phone , iPad or laptop near you. This is a slow burning reality check to society. I watched all 3 at the movies and my dad took me when I was like 14.
It’s been with me ever since and Sunset blew me away. Midnight really hits hard as I have grown in age as have the cast. They are very special movies to me.
It's a great trilogy, to learn about love in a much more real setting.
@@tubeyou89119 indeed! Excellent chemistry with his co-star
whoa, a fan of both the before trilogy AND jon snow?!
They are one of the very best dialogue movies out there. They seem extremely natural!
Agreed. The trilogy is being screened in a theater near me in August. Probably gonna go and watch it again, even though I own it on Blu-ray.
Wow, what a gracious dood. You can tell he's still a fan of actors, artists, movies and movie making. Not jaded or pretentious -- He seems truly sincere.
Ethan seems like such a genuinely cool guy, the kind of guy you could just hang out with and tell stories over a couple beers and have an amazing time. He truly is one of the greats of our generation.
You can tell how much love he has for film; he oozes it
I've always said Ethan Hawke is the thinking man's Brad Pitt.
Haha. Who’s the thinking man’s version of you?
lol
What does that even mean?
He is wayy hotter than Brad Pitt's ever been. And better actor. Brad Pitt could never have done the Before-trilogy.
How do people not know this ANCIENT phrase? lol.... it's pretty self explanatory.
Gattaca is something we’re lucky to see yknow
Chillillton great movie
Gattaca is definitely on my top one of my favourite movies, and i'm very picky on my movie taste.
I love Gattaca. It still makes me cry when I watch it
jude law was so amazing in there too. love it
Him and Jude law so good in that. But really him and Denzel played off each other so well. You had to really be a good actor to play an LA white cop and no one thinks you're racist.
I just love watching him talk. He is so sincere and comical about his experiences.
He described all the movies in such an interesting way I now want to see everything I havent yet.
Thank you very much for your lovely words, I really do appreciate it. Tell me what's your favorite movie of all my movies you have seen so far?
Ethan looks like he has a great understanding of the film process. He would be a good director
He is. He has made both feature and documentary films.
@@Vortal_Cord can u name a few so I can check them out
@@Cure4theCold Hottest State, Blaze and Seymour: An Introduction are the ones I've seen. Great movies.
"cast for the final color" whoah, that's a great note on casting
I am keeping that one as well.
This was the first video i've watched of this series you all do and this was wonderful. I love Ethan Hawke's performances in literally everything he does. It was nice to see/hear him talk about his craft like this.
This interview feels like an Ethan Hawke movie, his point of view, energy, and descriptive takes on filmmaking is so entertaining! Hes truly an actors actor. "That script was ice hot" talking about training day lol epic quote
This interview/analysis has proven me wrong. I always really liked him as an actor, but always had the impression he was up his own butt. Seems as though he's much more well rounded and down to earth than I gave him credit for. Glad I'm not always right, lol.
haha ... good honest post. To me his persona has always reflected a certain humility and down-to-earthness that makes him perfect for so many roles that used to be described as "everyman" kind of roles.
Same! I have always assumed he's a prick. Don't even know why I thought that.
Interviewed him once and at one point we got sidetracked once he learned that I was in Atlanta and that he attended elementary school here. He's a down-to-earth guy.
He aged well, and probably decided on his own to stop being pompous.
same! i don't even know why i used to have the impression that he was an arrogant person and self-centered but thanks to this interview i think my love for him has grown so much him as a person is a very lovely, kind and down-to-earth guy he likes to give credits to his co-stars more than he gives to himself and he just admires everyone he's been involved with i kinda get the impression he could be your long lost hilarious yet admirable uncle
I can't still believe that he was not nominated as best actor for First Reformed, but Rami Malek and Bradley Cooper did. The Oscars suck.
Rami Malek was great, but Bradley Cooper has never been that great to me. He's fine, but he's never been anything other than "pretty good" to me. Ethan Hawke needs some more recognition as a talented artist. That being said, the Oscars ain't fair. Toni Colette is phenomenal but doesn't win awards or turn heads at her name and she was brilliant in Hereditary. No nomination. Often times the best movies don't win awards and remain the runner up or just an honourable mention.
Agree. First Reformed is a masterpiece!
Can't stand Bradley Cooper. A no talent hack imo.
@@Kaipyro67ALT that movie was incredible.
I only came here for the "before" trilogy, and I still haven't watched Before Midnight.
As long as I haven't seen it, they ended up happy forever.
Did you ever watch it??
@@mmarshfairc3 Not the last one....I want those 2 to have a Happy end.
I always love hearing him talk. Whenever he is a guest on a talk show, he's so entertaining to me. Some people have the ability to make you happy by just being in their presence. Another example is Morgan Freeman.
Dead Poets Society everyone should watch it.
hughm53 They don't make movies like that anymore unfortunately.
hughm53 gonna have to chexk it out
Robin Williams apparently considered his role as John Keating as the one role he truly wanted to be remembered for, and the character that was closest to who he was in real life. Incredible film.
spacetime8 Oh, Captain, MY Captain! *Tears
spacetime8 awwww
a humble human being, who never overacts, inserts himself into a role, taking care to be believable and not absurd, an actors actor
I love how you get excited when talking about Co workers and your films. You really are humble and kind when face to face. (can't wait to find out) 😉 Page, AZ
Thank you very much for your lovely words, I really do appreciate it. Tell me what's your favorite movie of all my movies you have seen so far?
This dude deserves so many more roles. He knocks it out if the park every time and he’s so humble
I’m in Film school and enjoying many of these videos and impressed with how articulate, honest and passionate Ethan is about his art.

Man, I have to re-watch so many of his movies now! He’s in so many great ones.
I made a list of some of these flicks that I have not seen yet. Gonna watch for sure, he's one of the best.
Thanks so much for all your love and support feel free to message me on hangout

9:11. when the guy says: Maya looks exactly like the both of you, and you see Ethan smile and look proud, that just melts my heart, such a kind down to earth guy! would love to just hang out with him a night just swaping ideas and chill
19:52 I was always his fan, but this dialogue made me appreciate him even more. He is so intellectual but makes it look so easy.
Underrated and my favourite, he's awesome as the father in boyhood
Predestination was a great movie, wish more people would watch it.
Certainly one of those that manages to complicate stuff even further whenever you think you have guessed the twist.
It's a classic already. A must watch.
100%
It's a weird movie with an important lesson
When I seen that movie, my God I LOVED it!!! It was so great!!!
I see that 'Most replayed" part is Gattaca, no wonder. It is one of the best movies!
I've been watching 35 of the 44 videos in the Iconic Character breakdown playlist on this channel over the past couple of days, and man are there a lot of movies I need to see.
Haven't seen a lot of Ethan Hawke's movies tbh. I've saw White Fang (which I didn't even know he starred in until very recently) when I was a kid, I've seen Training Day, Magnificent 7 when that came out, and I've seen Assault on Precinct 13 and Sinister, but I actually think that's it.
Really need to catch up on my movies at some point :D
