The 'Oppenheimer' Cast Reveals How Christopher Nolan Gave Them Their Role | Around the Table
/ ew - Zábava
RDJ is like an extrovert that tries to keep quiet in front of 4 other introverts.
Huh
refreshing lol
I don’t think Emily Blunt is an introvert
Emily Blunt is HARDLY an introvert. She has an irritating habit of interrupting and interjecting when another actor is speaking, along with her, to an interviewer. Still, a pleasant personality and formidable acting chops.
literally😂
No matter how many times I’ve seen interstellar, Matt Damon’s appearance is always surprising
“You know how they say there’s no small roles only small actors? Well, this one’s a small role” 😅
Yeah, he escaped from Mars only to end up there.
Ifkr
I always wish he wouldn't have done what he had done😢
@@matusobernauer2387and what’s that?
Don't think I've ever been more excited to see a movie in my life. For Matt Damon to say Cillian Murphy's performance is one of the greatest of all time to be put on film is some serious, serious praise.
Really? Can you explain to me why? I know he's an excellent writer, but I don't know a lot, I'm quite interested.
@@DiAnA9189 fantastic actor and writer, real recognises real type deal. it probably wont be one of the greatest of all time but for praise like that, itll be pretty damn good
I would have to probably agree, except maybe Jurassic Park way back in the 90s. It's def the most excited Ive been in recent memory. Two years ago when this was announced, I was like YES. I love high quality WWII films and this is one I've always wanted...Fat Man and Little Boy was not that good. I'm fascinated by atomic energy so a dense, science-y movie about it is gold to me.
RDJ said essentially the same thing in his armchair expert interview. Sure to be excellent.
Me too! Partly because I lived in Los Alamos for 13 years and honestly, feel I have a bit of trauma from it. But New Mexico and the history is just so important and impactful to our country. History is important. We need to know and learn. There's never been a more important figure in human history than Oppenheimer, IMHO.
I’m happy for RDJ to be able to find a project that elevates him to a level that allows him to be distinguished apart from the MCU’s “Iron Man”. It’s hard to do that when you’re known so well for a specific role. He fucking killed it. So did Cillian and Matt. Florence and Emily were flawless. But really the star of this was Nolan. Masterpiece.
I’ve started to watch him from iron man, but I loved all his other movies. Kiss kiss bang bang, judge, sherlock Holmes and whatnot! He’s a talent being wasted in mcu and I’m really glad that Tony stark died in mcu before Disney took over and turned it m-she-u.
He was amazing as Kirk Lazarus as well.
@@dr.downvotewatch the zodiac
Nolan was the Oppenheimer of Oppenheimer
He was Oscar nominated for Chaplin
Cillian Murphy just has that screen presence where u just want to watch him no matter the quality around him. And for him to have these fabulous collaborations with Nolan over the years has made it so special to watch. Really hope Cillian and Nolan win their well deserved Oscar for this
I've always found Cillian unique. .
@@lifeissweet9826 mee too
@@Kigoz4Life reviews are already calling it the film of the decade that is mostly held up by Cillian’s performance
Honestly who cares about the Oscars. Kubrick and Hitchcock never won the Oscar for Best Director so they're irrelevant.
I agree re: Cillian's screen presence. I've really liked him ever since I first saw "Red Eye." He was riveting in that role.
Funny how the director of a film is on the headlines and centre of attention as appose to the cast members. The impact Chris Nolan has made in the film industry is truly incredible
Completely agreed, it is similar to dune movie
What? This has been the case for the entire history of cinema.
@@eskybakzu712 Not at all. With few exceptions, Old Hollywood films used to market their films based on the leading actor(s).
@@qorpse Hollywood is a fraction of cinema. Most cinema is not American cinema and even less of it comes from Hollywood. But sure, there have always been actors and actresses that featured heavily in promotional campaigns but when a film has been discussed both currently and historically it has always been in relation to the director.
Yes it happens to Tarantino and Sorkin too
Nolan's got some of the best talent in the movie industry singing his praises. Nolan's just on another level, an absolute genius auteur filmmaker
You misspelled amateur
a filmmaker whose personal influence and artistic control over a movie are so great that the filmmaker is regarded as the author of the movie
@@FighterFlashDo you often watch interviews of directors you consider amateurs?
@@Largentina. Are you in love with the DJ?
@@FighterFlash It is the right spelling for that word which means : a director who exerts a high level of control across all aspects of a film
Casey Afleck’s role was really intimidating. He did such a great job at creating intense tension.
I was on the edge of my seat
I fell asleep around the time he came on 😂 and woke up on his last scene in the film.
“intense tension” is redundant. Just say “job at creating tension.”
soft voice, scary guy
@@roni2971okay grandpa
Cillian Murphy has such a mesmerizing screen presence that I can watch him in anything. Really looking forward to Oppenheimer.
It's an amazing film! Watching it again but taking family this time! 😁
Man I remember seeing 28 Days later wayyy back, and I fell in love with him as an actor. He truly doesn’t miss
It’s his beautiful face
Glad Downey is getting this opportunity to flex his acting muscles, I believe he's one of the greatest to ever do it.
A legendary director and a legendary cast making a legendary film, can't wait!!
long before cillian, blunt, matt, and even nolan became famous, RDJ was already an oscar nominee for Chaplin going back to 92,,,alongside alpacino.. damn
Interestedly to note, Downey did live in New Mexico for a time. I think he understands the culture. A friend of mine ran in to him at a movie theater in NM. I ran into so many actors in NM. Don't live there anymore, but go NM! The center of the next phase of entertainment.
@@whitedove2352wow. Do you know where I can 'run into' Nolan? 😅
He already won an Oscar in the 90s lol super hero films stifled his career
@@GreenLightMe He didn't win in '92, but he should have. Pacino won that year.
I saw Oppenheimer yesterday and I can say it's an instant classic. If you are a cinema lover you will look back at this movie as a big vital experience.
RDJ is such a sweet heart, his open admiration, genuine comments make me love him more than ever for the person he is and obviously an unforgettable actor.
Such a generous performer and person.
If Cillian doesn't win an Oscar for this film I seriously don't know what to say.
say it like it is...Indiana Jones 5 deserves the best movie of 2023
Identity politics are why he wouldn’t win. This film likely doesn’t qualify for any Oscar due to their new BS identity politics requisites in order to be nominated.
When did you see the movie?
I mean, Cillian doesn’t need an Oscar to prove his acting ability, but in this bs woke Hollywood world, his win will be soo much better!
Okay yeah he's great but let's see the movie first maybe? Just because you like him doesn't mean he deserves an Oscar. You're being ridiculous.
Damon, a notoriously strong writer, having no notes. means more than you may realize
The opposite of his buddy Ben Affleck after reading Pearl Harbor's script, it was so bad he asked if he could rewrite it
underrated comment
since he won a Oscar for the screenplay of Good Will Hunting, he actually has some chops.
RDJ seems so happy not playing as iron man again after almost a decade. He deserve to work with high calibre director such as Nolan, Scorsese, or Tarantino
fr, I am so happy to see him so other movies and just go all out with his talent in every way... He looks so happy about choosing what he wants and gets to do, and try things out again instead of only following a contract for 15 years
He knows where super hero movies are going. He's glad that's he's getting an open door out of that.
Playing Iron Man gave him the income to pick and choose only what he's passionate about! I'm so happy to see him playing other characters. But I'd like to see him in another romantic movie.
mid scorsese
Awesome to see Downey Jr in a film and role like this
Like what?
@@dariuschisholm7317 not a marvel movie lmao
A good movie...after 15 years
@@blackdynamite_5470thats cap and just hating lol be honest now. The first Iron Man is still damn good, Civil War, and Infinity War also. Other movies i wont debate about cause i get it but those three, still great.
@@thorkagemob1297as a person who’s not really a fan of the mcu I will agree IW was really enjoyable
The amount of respect, admiration, gratitude that's filling the room is almost palpable, feels so great just to watch it.
I love how all the cast are so supportive of each other 🥹
Why wouldn't they be, they're selling their product.
Cillian seriously must have put himself through the emotional and physical ringer on this one……just when you think he can’t get any better from Peaky….he does this. Such a modest, private and humble guy. But he’s a genius…….❤
I think one of the reasons Barbenheimer has been such an event is because both films, their stories, the characters, but especially the filmmakers and talent behind both of them are so sincere, engaging, and insightful that it's been like a giant chicken soup for our society's soul. And these films both go into what it's like to feel stuck in the middle of moral conundrums in a very two-sided culture. Just wonderful to experience.
Well said, you mind-reader!
The entire cast is so well spoken, I finished the entire session at one go. Cillian is my absolute favourite. I hope he wins an Oscar.
I love how when someone speaks, the other 4 immediately put all their attention on the speaker: eye contact, tilting their body towards them, nodding their head, keeping quiet, etc. Also, you can tell that all 5 of them genuinely think this is an amazing movie in the way they all talk about it. Plus, Chris' and Cill's humility about the amazing work they did is a breath of fresh air
After seeing the movie I honestly have to say Cillian Murphy is going to win the Oscar 100%
Didn't expect Josh Hartnett's appearance in the movie, but for some reason it was one of my favorite. Seemed like a weird role for a few initial moments, but the neutral "cowboy/scientist/pal" thing came across really well. His character brought a lot of levity to the movie.
I didn't expect Gary Oldman either and it took me embarrassingly long to recognize them 🙈
The whole time I kept thinking while watching Josh Hartnett “wow he would make a good Batman”
Well it wont be for us….. thanks lol
its Harnett's FU Hollywood time away that makes his appearance and performance so rich for me. Oscar nom worthy IMO
I agree, had no idea he was in the movie but he killed that role.
Matt Damon won an Oscar for best screenplay, and he had no notes for this script
This is probably one of the best interviews in this format that I've seen. You can really tell these people have a lot of love and respect for each other. The film looks stellar, I really hope it lives up to the hype that it's getting. At this point I have no doubts that Nolan can deliver an exceptional movie, the dude is a legend and I'm rooting for this movie to be one of the greatest films of the year, or even of all time! it really does look like it could be THAT good. but i'll admit I am a victim to the opp hype cycle...
You meant to say this film looks "INTERstellar"? Hehe had to do it, sorry😝
@@Summon256I was gonna say that bro
Wired RDJ and Nolan its hilarious
Don't worry. It does 🤙
My goodness!!! I have never seen RDJ so humble. He's literally behaving like a new comer who's grateful to be a part of this movie and fangirling over Cillian....
RDJ looks and feels so humble here, I think being able to work with Chris Nolan is just a blessing
There is a sniper pointing at him offscreen
@@blackdynamite_5470what! 😂
Cillian deserves an Oscar for his performance!!! Absolutely amazing everyone! Favorite movie of year so far!
I can't remember a movie where a movie had this many mega stars functioning as supporting actors to a lesser star, but nonetheless a superb actor in Murphy.
I think it only works because of this. Cillian really embodied Oppenheimer and while the other characters are underdeveloped the fact that we recognize most of them helped mentally fill the gaps for the audience. It’s almost like cheating through character dev in a way
similar to tarantino films
I just saw the movie today, what a damn masterpiece, Cillian Murphy’s performance is beyond extraordinary, what an actor !!!
RDJ just making everybody laugh in this room is amazing 😂 espcially Matt Damon
I'm not even in the film industry, but those interviews make me wanna work with Chris Nolan. He just seems superb.
Downey is 100% getting a supporting nom. Would be so ecstatic if he won
Too early to tell perhaps but I have a feeling this is the movie that will finally bring him a statue. Ditto Nolan.
just saw the movie today he’s definitely getting an oscar for this role
@@rimavioletMatt or RDJ who is better in this film because one of them are getting Oscar.
MHHHMM
And Robert Downey, Jr. did win! Well deserved! ❤
So odd to see the biggest actors in the world so timid and humble in front of Chris Nolan. The guy is on a whole other level.
We all want Cillian to win the Academy Award!
What makes Nolan unique is how brilliant he is as an artistic mind but also down to earth as a professional, he's not hiding behind amazing script ideas and actor's talent, but actually is into the technical aspects. That's the thing about him, and its very rare, and so far he is on top of that in the industry right now. Probably Denis Villeneuve is somewhat getting to this as well with Dune, but with Nolan its in every movie he created.
James Cameroon is another one
Yea I agree. This is how directors use to be and directors like Denis and Chris are keeping the art alive. Im enjoying it while it lasts
I've never been disappointed, or didn't enjoy a movie I've seen of Nolan's. Great film maker.
@@NemysisPrimecameroon movies are overrated.
@@NemysisPrime Always saw him as a professional, a craftsmen, almost like a decent professional that can do the job for sure, but never outstand, I can be dead wrong, but that is the impression. While there are unique ones like Chris or Denis, James looks to me as a well-trained sportsman, rather than "born with it" type.
Man Damon needs that lead actor role for Nolans next picture, hoping something fantastical.
Nein!

Seeing this on Thursday night in 70mm IMAX…cannot wait! Also, Cillian DESERVES this Oscar! He is such a talented actor and his portrayal of Tommy Shelby is one of the greatest of all time. No doubt he’s going to captivate us as Oppenheimer!
Lucky you, my country doesn't even have 70mm imax
@@BakedCookiesallday same😭in our country we don't even have the official date for the film and that's just super devastating...
You are super lucky I have to wait 3 weeks to see the film ugggh in the Lincoln Square Imax 70MM in NYC. Tickets sold out til August.
I’m seeing it Friday night at midnight in central london imax 70mm beyond excited.
Watching Thursday night in Germany as well.
Love how seemingly every time RDJ enters the conversation, it’s to praise someone else (present or not) for how they’ve contributed. He did a phenomenal job as Strauss and is secure enough to shine the light on others, even future generations of actors.
He has come out the other side and has become the most charming person. Love listening to him.
I just can’t imagine how surreal, mature, satisfying it must be to be sitting in a room with A list actors that respect you as much as you respect them, singing praises to each other for the job you all did on a tremendous film. It must be an amazing and incomparable feeling.
Robert Downey Jr is very kind and succinct, calling things by their name, starting at the 12:15 mark! They are all excellent actors, but I'm suspecting we'll be blown away by Murphy's performance.
Chris Nolan and Cillian Murphy deserve Oscars, there’s no doubt there.
I love it when talented actors are not just actors but incredibly smart people who understand the magnitude of their roles and the impact they will have. It’s a pleasure watching their interview - such wonderful choice of English, such intelligent humour, such elegance. Bravo.
The humility in that room is awe-inspiring. Besides that, BEST MOTION PICTURE: OPPENHEIMER
I think one of the incredible things about Nolan is that he has such an eye for what an actor is capable of before they've even played a part which is a trait all directors have to have but he seems to really excel at it. His catalogue of movies has some of the greatest actors of our time in every single movie and not only that but he has a away of bringing out their best performances of their career in each of his movies.
Cillian murphy is like the irish keanu reeves..so likeable and everyone loves him
Only Nolan can bring an incredible cast like this together. Absolutely brilliant. Can’t wait to watch this masterpiece!
I've absolutely adored Cillian Murphy since Peaky Blinders. He is simply just an incredible actor. I cannot wait to see this and I hope he wins all the awards as a result of his efforts.
*Cillian won best actor!*
*Downey won best supporting actor!*
*Chris Nolan won BEST DIRECTOR!*
around 5:20 Matt is so well spoken. I mean obviously he's an incredible actor and for that you have to be smart enough to know whats needed of you on screen..but him describing why it pulled him in, and just how it did so, and why it's so important that it's written the way it's written.. god I can't wait to see this
Yeah he's a writer too. Matt's 1st Oscars win was for Best Screenplay for Good Will Hunting. 🏆
@@S.G.L.1010 you're totally right! I don't know why I sometimes forget that! He's such a class act
He did go to Harvard
From an HR perspective that is absolutely a great example of what exceptional leadership, awesome management, dedication and trust can achieve through teamwork! Really impressive. Amazing result
most people only know RDJ as Tony stark - iron man,lol... even though what they don't know, long before cillian, blunt, matt, and even nolan became famous, RDJ was already an oscar nominee going back to 92,,,alongside alpacino
RDJ has really a long story.
He is well known for Charlie Chaplin, Sherlock Holmes, his character in trophic thunder
@@GOD_OF_STORIES07 damn right.... but yeah t's a shame people only know him as Iron man lol...
@@GeneralZod1991 yeah but I think people should know him by that character only coz he has made that character a Masterpiece and legendary.
What else do you want in your life when you are known for your one character in the whole world.
Examples like Johny depp as captain Jack sparrow, Rowan Atkinson as Mr bean, Cilian as Thomas Shelby and many others
@@GOD_OF_STORIES07 yes it doesn't matter because we know how iconic Iron Man is all over the world..everyone knows Iron Man kids to adult..but what's very unfortunate, most people even think that RDJ can't act in serious films like this Oppenheimer, because he's been a superhero for too long and people already know him to be iron man so people think he can't act in serious movies.. LOL
@@GeneralZod1991 yeah I also saw these type of comment on CZcams but let me tell you they are none but RDJ's haters and they can't digest his success from zero to hero.
I mean he did a great job in Zodiac, trophic thunder for which he got nominated for fucking shitty award oscar in my opinion.
For an actor who played serious role, Cillian has a very lovely and friendly smile.
Peaky blinders viewership is gonna bump up hardcore after this release.
True but good for them, it’s one of the best tv shows up there
Current peaky fans are gonna bump up this one too
This is the only movie I can remember from Nolan that I accidentally did not watch anything other than knowing the name of the movie and the plot being about the Manhattan project before watching it. Worked out perfectly. Had no idea who was in the movie, no idea about the music, no idea about any of the lines and it was just an entirely epic and moving experience.
yeap... for me was... I roughly know about the project... sort of heard of oppy... how are they going to make a 3hr movie? and of course it was fantastic
Cillian “dunkirk” murphy i laughed my ass off🤣
Never watched a movie in 70mm IMAX before but I’m making the 45 minute drive on Sunday to see this movie in that format. Very excited can’t lie!
Same!
The closest 70mm to where I live is a 2 hour drive. So I’ll be watching in the Liemax haha at least it has reclining chairs tho. Will be a long film. Hope you enjoy the Imax!
@donovan8494 yea I was surprised to find out we even had one here in NorCal haha. Going to a 1040am showing so it SHOULD be 45 minute drive for me as long as theres no traffic!
Mission Impossible 7 looked great in IMAX...with cropped top and bottom
This movie is going to be huge. Nolan is the greatest filmmaker of all time
That’s really funny

I just watched this movie a few hours ago I’m still so stunned this is cinema. Cillian Murphy and RDJ should be the clear favourites this year for an Oscar
I love seeing people truly so proud to be making art. It’s why I love being creative
Cillian Murphy is absolutely brilliant in this role. Definitely Oscar worthy
I think the purpose of the black&red script (2:28) may have been to prevent, or at least to inhibit, photocopying.
I was never really a fan of Cinema but for the first time, I went just because of Oppenheimer and it was worth it. I'm glad I did. The acting, story telling, the sound, visuals---everythimg was phenomenal! 10/10 will recommend. 10/10 will watch again.
They have already started polishing Oscar for cillian.
First day, first show for sure
When your lead actor says he was overwhelmed and emotionally drained by the film you know you done good
I think at any point in time when the absolute top crop actors come to a set and feel humbled and excited and acknowledge that "this is the place to be", you know you are working with something that is truly spectacular.
You get the sense that they would all want to be present even if they were not getting paid, because at this moment it's simply their pure passion for acting and cinematography that is speaking to them and driving their performance.
This is why Nolan is one of my top most respected producers in all of cinema, because every time he turns on that camera, you just know he's doing it to bring an artistic vision to life and nothing else. Denis Villeneuve is another one of the modern greats who also appears like a no-compromise kind of guy who is just out there to do his thing and be visionary, all norms be damned.
I genuinely bought a plane ticket to see this in 70mm 😅

11:43 This was my experience. Spent days after reading more about the various figures involved, thinking about the film, and talking about it with anyone that would listen. Cillian Murphy absolutely brilliant in this movie and deserves every acolade coming his way.
Saw it today with my 15 yr old son who was blown away by it. We are hoping to go again tomorrow! Thank you Christopher Nolan for writing a brilliant script and choosing awesome actors, Cillian was incredible. We had a lot of discussions after it over dinner from Roberts mental health to why this isn’t taught more in schools. My son is going to college next year to study film & media and hopes to be a writer/director. Thanks for inspiring the next generation xxx
Gary Oldman in this feature had one of the greatest 5 min scenes I’ve seen in a film, possibly ever? Incredible and star studded is how I’d describe this film
also Matt Damon in scenes opp Cillian in this film was just *magic*. They were fab scenes partners
Just a sec! Gary Oldman too in this movie. Can you plz tell me which role he played?
@@tusharkumar8750it was president truman
the amount of respect they have for each other and the rest of the (amazing) cast is wonderful to see... after I finished watching the film I thought to myself "wow, this is what a film made by people who love and adore what they do looks like" - you can feel the love for the craft of filmmaking in every nolan film but oppenheimer stands out for me the most now
A great friendship developed through this movie. The actors are so content, excited and euphoric with the job they were given is unparalleled to anything I seen before. Nolan brought out the best acting from all of them.
Can not wait to see Oppenheimer!
ive never been this excited for a movie. stellar cast, extremely interesting story and directed by the greatest director.
This is a movie that I believe everyone should watch at least once. Even people who thought it was too long or not enough action or too confusing etc. This gives us a huge insight to what those who created the atomic bomb and their life was like. I never stopped to think "How was the atomic bomb made?" And this movie put so much in perspective for me. Reminded me that in that time they were people in the middle of a war and how terrifying and tragic it was....and will be again. Because mankind is greedy and stupid and violent. We will go at war again someday somehow, maybe a long time from now or not, but there will be bombs. And like one of the scientists said to Oppenheimer: "Until they make a bigger bomb". Can you imagine creating a bomb that is powerful enough to destroy the world and still hit the red button? Sorry for getting all tragic. It was a moving film but I came out of the theatres feeling like I had been slapped and I still, and probably won't ever, recover.
Cillian is so perfect it is scarcely possible to look at others, he is too magnetizing
After watching Peaky Blinders, I can admit that I developed a giant man crush on Cillian. He is awe inspiring in his work and a humble handsome bloke.
Such a trip. Seems like they are at such a peak of acting, that they are able to transport themselves outside of themselves and really inject themselves into Nolans direction and idea of the actual people they are trying to portrray. It may just be me, but it seems truely inspirational to see people at this peek of their game.
It's joy to see people being sincerely nice to each other
This is the first time I feel so emotional towards the cast & a movie ' cos of a famous director, Christoper Nolan, 'cos of my most favourite actor, Cillian Murphy & 'cos it's a historical biographic movie which I like most.😍👍
Me too! Really emotional. Partly, because I lived in Los Alamos for 13 years. Oppi is everywhere. Part of the culture. But the terror of nuclear bombs and weapons, lived with me every day and has impacted my life.
RDJ IS BRILLIANT ❤
the ability that emily has of just befriending everyone she works with still amazes me, she develops such a good relationship with all the cast and crew, she jokes around with everyone and everybody always say she’s a delight. i just love her so much ❤
She interrupts everyone in every press interview for this movie
I find her unbelievable pretentious and rude. She interrupts other people constantly, esp Matt demon.
@@frank-du4qg lol k
@@vivianms3721 lol k
I really want to like her, but I can't. Too obnoxious.
Still not over this film!! The cast is phenomenal. I kept getting excited every time a new actor showed up 😂
Cillian was the obvious star of the entire movie, and Matt Damon was right about how he gave one of the greatest screen performances ever.
But RDJ.... he killed it. Somehow, the man made me forget he was Iron Man. That is a real testament to your acting abilities when you can make people forget that you are famous for a particular character.
It is so touching and heattwarming to see how they compliment eachother ❤
These kind of movies come once in a while and I make sure to watch it in a theatre. I am sure it will be a phenomenal movie with all these amazing cast adding their own flavor in these characters. I would have read the book first if I knew it was based off of it but I can't wait to watch the movie.
I read the Sherwin and Bird bio that inspired this film in a class called United States in the Nuclear Age, and our entire class (which was a seminar, only 8 students), came to feel so strongly about Oppie and his story. We got really emotionally involved for some reason, each of us having a different reading of his life leading up to Los Alamos and the fallout and how he felt, it was the most incredible experience I had in a classroom. It’s kind of breaking our hearts that those 8 students are spread across the country now, because we all wish we could go see this film together. I can’t wait to go, because it looks like Nolan and the cast felt the same thing we did in learning this story.

Recap by Tammy AI
Thanks for this!!
Nolan is a true filmmaker. I don't think he hits a home run all the time, but at least he knows exactly what he wants to do.
Even when he misses its still enjoyable to witness
Nolan is so efficient.. always delivers blockbusters in as less time as possible
I've heard of people having that kind of focus and clarity and you feel it in the environment the way these actors are describing Christopher Nolan. Another example would be Thomas Keller and how you feel it in his restaurant and the staff, the focus, intensity and clarity that permeates through. People at the top of the field are like that.
Robert Downey Jr. is an empath if I’ve ever seen/heard one. He loves people in such a delightful, somehow correct way.
What a great interview! I love group interviews, I think they’re really the best
Nolan always blows our mind. His work made us know more about science. And myself espesially, when i watched interstellar, i only knew basic stuff that school has tought, but after i watched it, it impacted to me so much as i only knew so little and it make me want to learn more about our universe. Since his movie based on real science, i felt like it can entice people to increase knowledge or even inspired people to pursue career in science.
I enjoyed this interview a lot. Palpable love, respect and admiration. I hope they all get to work together again.
It’s great to see the depth of each actor’s understanding of the film. Would’ve been even better if Florence Pugh had joined them too.
Wonderful interview. So much respect in that room
the build-up to the trinity test was insanely well done. i was fucking shaking and couldnt eat my popcorn anymore. Ive never really experienced anything like that in cinema, it truly felt like i was there
It really was epic
I could hear my heartbeat I felt like I was gonna throw up
