    David is extremely well spoken, and he's simply fantastic in Stranger Things. I feel like Hopper is such a complex & interesting character that you want to root for.

      Absolutely, I never knew how awesome he was as an individual until seeing how unique and well spoken he was during this interview. He is someone I'd love to hang out with and that is going to be awesome to see now in season 2. I can't wait to see what the Duffer Bros do with season 2. I am going to go in without expectations just as I did season 1 because I don't want to hype it up as I LOVED the first season. With such high expectations I might ruin it expecting such awesome things for a sequel. We all know how so many sequels have bombed throughout film history lol

    This is by far the best Stranger Things interview so far. Don't get me wrong, all the interviews with the kids are fantastic, but this one delves slightly deeper into the craft of acting. It also helps that Hopper was my favorite character on the show...Eleven close second, Dustin third.

    Hearing them talking about body shape and normal-people-representation i just like to say: Im totally into his belly, like.. for real! And thats not because im into body shapes like this. I just love his character and everything on Jim Hopper is perfect, because it fits him so well. And dont get me wrong, im not crazy, i know its a fictional character im talking about. But like he said, we want to see real people we can identify with. And i think this man is so damn sexy with every burden he is carrying and the exact way he is looking. I would date this guy, without question!

    He's so right. There's something about movies like Aliens, Blade Runner, Indiana Jones, Terminator, The Goonies, E.T. That 80s thing just feels nice when watching and the storytelling flows better. I also agree on what he said about modern movie/filming style and creating universe set-ups. Stranger Things got every film aspect right in my opinion. Just watched the whole season yesterday and i have not felt stress, fear, and interest in characters like that in a long time. I wanted to root for the people so bad. How all characters started to blend together in the story was clever writing. Fantastic acting and a banger of a series! - The Netherlands is hooked!

    He really was fantastic. Although the shows are vastly different, I feel like what Stranger Things and Game of Thrones have in common, is impeccable casting. There was not a single part in Stranger things that was not extremely well acted. So I guess Stranger Things actually has GoT beat if you take the Sand Snakes into account.

    • @MsLm97
      @MsLm97 Před 7 lety +7

      omg, PLEASE don't bring up the Dorne storyline, it's like a parasite on GoT
      but yeah, I totally agree about the casting and though I doubt ST will get 8 seasons, I still do hope we'll get at least 3 and get to see these amazing kids grow and evolve into EVEN BETTER actors than they already are in the way that Maisie Williams, Sophie Turner and Isaac Hempstead Wright did

    • @zammmerjammer
      @zammmerjammer Před 7 lety +1

      The problem with GoT is that they never intended to go to Dorne. Then Pedro Pascal was such a hit as Prince Oberyn so they, like in the midst of planning the season, decided to cram the entire Dornish plot into around 5 episodes. So, yes, it was a pile of puke. Which is a shame because it's pretty cool and fun in the books. But to do it properly would have required them to fully integrate it into at least 2 seasons on the show at the expense of other storylines.

    • @sarcasmxkate
      @sarcasmxkate Před 6 lety +25

      But there's also room for really great superhero films, like Logan, The Dark Knight, and Winter Soldier. It's also important to tell inclusive stories inside a major blockbuster like Wonder Woman did for so many young girls and women. Stories that have pure, genuine, and heartfelt messages, no matter the genre, are always needed. That said, the majority of them are just fun action flicks. Which I don't think is bad, but there is a responsibility I think to the audience to make you think, to make you feel- whether it be sadness, anger, joy, or inspiration. We've become oversaturated with good films and not with truly great ones. They're so formulaic that they've lost that feeling of genuineness. But there is that one that comes along and reminds you why you love those types of films. They just need to understand that you can throw a superhero in a western or a political thriller or a period piece. They're far more capable of just being fun action blockbusters. They have every possibility of being great. They just need to try to be.

    Oh so awesome a 1975 person, just like myself! Anyway, I highly agree with Mr. Harbour that was certainly less slick about 80s movies that made them so enjoyable and that's missing in much of today's films. I also agree that it's better seeing people you can relate to onscreen. Man, would love to have David Harbour lead an acting workshop someday would sign up for that for sure!!
