Full interview- • Video - Krátké a kreslené filmy
Alfred Hitchcock and Akira Kurosawa movies are the Bases/foundation for Cinematic Storytelling and should be required study for filmmakers
ken tobias
And then Kubrick and Scorcese perfected what they created and brought it to the next level
@@ruly8153 Scorcese is overrated
@@dd1530
I’m listening... 👂
@@dd1530 Take that back! Haha.
any recomendations on kurosawa films to begin watching ? im very intrested
Psycho is my favorite film of all time, and Guillermo is my favorite filmmaker of all time, so this video was a great treat. Thank you for posting it.
Del Toro =Geek God
And we love him for it!
Wonderful how Del Toro is able to put it into words and to get straight to the point! Great find and awesome editing of the footage! One thing: can it be that Del Toro is referring to Suspicion, where it is a glass of poisoned milk (where the master repeated himself) which had a light bulb inside?
Anyway: thanks as always, for sharing these true treasures, filled with deep insight from the masters!
Definitely! I had a lot of fun making this video and I’m glad to share some of Del Toro’s insight!
@@JacksMovieReviews hey Jack I was wondering if you could review dog day afternoon, I love Sidney Lumet and btw your channel is bad ass man
Fantastic. Del Toro is so insightful when speaking about the master Hitchcock and how he left such a profound influence on the art of filmmaking. Great stuff.
Movies, like all art, are vital to our species. To sit in a dark theater full of strangers is to relax and trust them. To be captivated by a good story is to let go of our hurts and anxieties for a while. Whether we realize it or not, a film is an affirmation of the qualities of our mind, our creativity, a provocative movie brings us into the cinema and we leave it talking about the how, what, and why of the story. For better or worse, we learn something.
Movies are the chats by a fire we have had for thousands of years in a newer form, this story telling has advanced into new things like video games.
Wonderful selection of images from some fabulous films .. makes me want to watch them all again
0:11 when he said it, it makes me wanna be a film teacher! they aren't that many people in Greenland that teaches people in film. they are starting a workshop that teaches people who are interested in movies and i now really wanna work there!!!
Would love to see a video essay on The Lodger and Suspicion regarding how preserving an actor's image can make a film fun for repeat viewings with different interpretations.
I never knew till very recently that Frenzy was a Hitchcock film and I was so shocked as its really dark
Great series. I learn a lot and gain new insights into film making with this series. Thank you.
Thanks Todd!
I’ve only seen Psycho, unfortunately. Enjoyed it though!
Kurosawa and Hitchcock are the two names that always come to mind when I think about big name directors who made movies I’ve never seen.
I need to get on it!
It’s hard to go wrong with either of them!
Loved this video. Its just nice to get their point of view.
Thanks Evan!
This was an interesting clip, ill have to look into some of the older cinema
Enjoy!
Your series is really great!!! Please do more :)
Thanks Gabriel!
This is from cb n q interview of del toro on hitchcock
BTW: for some reason I never did the research on Hitchcock's DPs. There is a LOT of iconic camera work in Hitchock's movies. Looks like one of the greats is Robert Burks. He was DP for (including): Strangers On A Train, I Confess, Rear Window, Vertigo, North By Northwest, The Birds and Marnie. That makes him a vital part of Hitchcock's body of work since he was DP for all of Hitchcock's Hollywood movies held in high esteem - except for Psycho, which of course was made by Hitchcock's television film team, DP: John L. Russell (and what an outstanding job they did!). Need also to look into editing.
For some reason (IMHO that is) Hitchcock never made/directed any truly great movie after Psycho (he was age 60).
Marnie was also a great movie.
+James Stewart - Well I think Marnie has a lot of problems. The least of these are the very bad "special" effects. Without any spoilers: the characters and their decisions are unclear and feel far fetched, there are severe pacing issues, there is WAY too much story going on with a ton late into the movie - and entire sections feel very rushed while others feel dragged out. There is no character that provides a center of gravity and someone to identify with. Sean Connery did a great job portraying a sympathetic main character who makes some strange decisions later into the movie. His character lost me at one point and the movie somehow falls apart.
And, like The Birds, it just somehow ends (even though there is a big reveal in the end which is really well done and not expected). Not in a "let the audience talk about it and make up their own ending" way. More in a "we have a situation that can't be solved, so we just end the movie" way.
@@truefilm1556 Yeah that's absolutely true but I enjoyed the film every time I watched it.
+James Stewart - IMHO that's the most important thing. If you like the movie and it works for you: great! There are some excellent moments in it, but like Torn Curtain and Topaz this is somehow all over the place and disjointed. Far from the very clearly structured, brilliantly shot and flawlessly edited (complete with tons of foreshadowing and hints that reward repeated viewing) masterpieces.
Hitchcock made two last movies (Frenzy and Family Plot) which were much less ambitious regarding story and structure. Two very good (but far from what the master once was capable of) movies. He was quite old and I think it was a great way to "leave the stage".
@@truefilm1556 that's true my friend after 1960 Hitchcock didn't produced a classic but these films are not bad films they are quite good .I still remember the hand fight sequence in torn curtain which shows how hard can it be to kill a man with bare hands.I don't follow films these days for me it isn't worth my time all these Lego kids movies they make big dollars by writing these utter crap screenplays and these computer generated images.
The greats take their craft to another level. The rest follow.
I love frenzy
Guillermo “quote on quote” Del Toro
Hitchcock the master of suspense.
JMR, do a review of Rebecca, strangers on a train,sabotage these are the most underrated of Hitchcock movies but none the less the traces of which can be found in his later works
0:01
Do Tarantino on Leone
What’s the name of the director he says before Truffaut? @4:00 I cant hear it exactly
Where's the audio of Del Toro from?
An interview, I linked it in the description
Something of PTA talking about any other director he has talked about.
Eduardo Jiménez that would be lovely
That’s a good one!
What is that first piece of orchestral music?
It's the theme from the film Psycho orchestrated by Bernard Herman.
Flight - Psycho OST
The opening title track for "Psycho" by the great Bernard Herrmann.
Wolfe 123: orchestrated and also composed and conducted (this is only the string section, yet it sounds complete, because Herrmann came from the violin and knew each and every nuance of the string instrument family). Sorry, I don't mean to split hairs, just to say that Herrmann was genius - easily on my top 5 list of film composers.
Such a good point of the talkies becoming the shooting of stage plays and the fall of the movie media !!
David Orvik The issue I take with that statement is that everyone cries the death of Cinema when the next addition in the medium comes. Hitchcock said it about sound, Tarkovsky said it about color, Tarantino said it about digital, and I guarantee you someone’s going to say the same thing once VR takes off.
I guess my focus of that comment was on the beginning. After sound was introduced we have seen the "death", again death in quotation, of visual story telling. A fall of show don't tell. In modern times, if a film really utilizes visual story telling, it immediately jumps up into my list of top ten movies of that year. See one of my favourites, Mad Max Fury Road! It becomming shooting of stage playes is a great way of wording this. I too disagree with cinema dying after the introduction of sound. Hitchcock himself used sound. He just focused on other parts of movie making. I myself think modern movies are way more entertaining, and easy to sit through than older films, with some exceptions like, say, Casablanca. Even that with sound. But then again, I was born in '92, and grew up on this, and has started watching older movies in more recent times.
Love this series. Thank you.
I may be alone in this but....
I mostly find Hitchcock soporific.
Maybe watch some Michael Bay flicks instead....maybe fast and furious 12?
Never seen a F+F and don't plan on starting thanks.
Maybe harsher than I meant, Psycho and Vertigo and North by Northwest I fall asleep as they are like an old friend.
Most of the rest that I have tried the suspense is just LONG
+Smiles for Cinephiles - well I noticed this long ago: many older movies just don't hold up - for two reasons: 1) they were made for the big screen where you can look all around and soak in all the details 2) we live in a MUCH faster world - with way more aggressive image and sound - than even 20 years ago and we are used to very fast pacing and (since long ago) cold openings (no opening titles, they are sparse and come in later while the story already unfolds) to grab our attention. Back in the day the images could breathe and suspense could be held for longer. I fully understand and encourage people to watch older movies at least on as large a screen as possible to minimize the huge difference of pacing.
I agree with all of that.
Have to keep my eye out for a repertory cinema then... give that a try.
I saw 2001 on the big screen years ago. It was much more immersive...
+Smiles for Cinephiles - did you have a chance to catch a screening of a real 70mm film print? Saw it twice on 70mm. Breathtaking!
Carol Reed David Lean and B Wilder and Hawks Welles and he's the best
:D
:D
This was interesting, but I would have preferred you to analyze Hitchcock.
First

I agree with everything del torro says about Hitchcock, especially the part when he says that if you are a film lover then sooner or later you will encounter him, and it really is true because in order to find some of the best inspiration out there, who better than the master of suspense. Personally I really don't like del torro's films, I don't think that he's a bad filmmaker or anything, I just think that he really isn't for me, but I still agree with everything he says about Hitchcock.
I have a confession to make... I find Hitchcock movies too boring.
