Christopher Nolan talks about the video message scene in Interstellar: “It was always the north star of the film, this beautiful sequence ... We filmed McConaughey’s reaction first ... he hadn’t seen the video messages, we’d filmed them all in advance, so that everything would be there in the... moment, and he wanted to give us his first reaction. We shot it twice close-up, and I think I used the second one, because the first one was too raw. Then we shot the monitors, and the wider shots, and put it together. The last piece of the puzzle was a beautiful piece of music by Hans Zimmer that hadn’t really found a place in the film ... it was devastating ... When the messages stop, the music stops ... it’s not the sort of thing that I like to do, but it felt perfect and apt for that moment.”show more

In Interstellar, Matthew McConaughey’s reaction to watching video messages of the children was real. He hadn’t seen the videos before. Nolan filmed them in advance. It was his first time seeing them. He was so affective he did it in one take.

Samuel L. Jackson explains how he landed the role of Jules in Pulp Fiction, and what it was like seeing the film for the first time on the big screen: “Pulp Fiction and I came together in a very strange kind of way. I remember auditioning for Quentin for Reservoir Dogs in New York (for the role of of Detective Jim Holdaway, Mr. Orange’s police contact). And apparently I didn't get that role. But I was at Sundance the year that he screened it for the first time. I was sitting there and I watched that movie - I was awed by it. I mean, there were people running up the aisles when Michael Madsen was cutting the cop's ear off. People were going, "Oh my God, this is horrible!" All these “auteurs” were running out of the theatre. I was like, "This is good. This is happening. This is different." So after the film, I walked up to Quentin and said, "This film's amazing, man. It's great." And he looked at me and said, "Hey! How'd you like the guy who got your part?" And I was amazed that he even remembered who I was - but he remembered me. A year or so later, I got a phone call saying Quentin Tarantino wants to have dinner with you, because he'd seen Jungle Fever and he liked that Gator character. When we had dinner, we were sitting there talking. We started talking about Hong Kong films and cartoons and foreign movies and obscure things that we watched, horror movies. We found out we liked the same kind of stuff. And he told me he was writing this thing, and he was writing this part with me in mind. He was going to send it to me. I went off to do another film. I was in the backwoods of Virginia somewhere doing a film, and the script came. A little plain brown wrapper from Jersey Films. And Jersey's got these gangster images on the logo. And it said, "If you show this script to anybody, two guys named Ernie and Luigi will come and break both of your legs." Whatever. I went, "Yeah, right." So I sat down and read it. Boom. I read this thing. It's like, "Oh my God. This is awesome." And then I said to myself, "Nobody writes a script this good. There's no way that this script is as good as I thought it was." I closed it. I opened it again. I read it immediately. Okay. This is great - If whoever produces this film lets him shoot exactly what I just read, if they stay away from it, they don't try to edit any of this stuff out - this is going to be a great film. It's going to be kind of audience-specific, because I like that kind of stuff. I have friends that I knew would like it. It was a generational kind of film. I never thought it would cross over and do all this stuff. We shot it. We had a great time doing it. And the first time I actually saw the film was at the Cannes Film Festival. That night, it screened, and I was sitting there watching the film. The audience was loving this movie, loving it. About halfway through, I realized there were subtitles at the bottom of it. So I said, "Hey, these people are reading it, and they're getting it. This might be special. This really might be something special." And actually, by the time it was over, there were tears running down my face. I was just so pleased that I was part of that particular film… I never felt that satisfied, and that kind of full about a performance and about being part of something as I was in that particular moment.” Quote comes from an Interview with the American Film Institute 2010

Christopher Nolan interviewing Michael Mann, Al Pacino and Robert De Niro on the iconic coffee shop meeting in Heat... Nolan: So for all three of you, I mean, one of the great and memorable scenes in the film - there are many - but the iconic coffee shop meeting that people were so struck by when the film came out, seeing two such great actors who had not acted in the same scene together before, together. There was such mythology around it at the time. I remember several friends of mine being convinced that you'd shot it on different days because there was no two-shot… (Michael Mann laughs) Nolan: Was it single camera? Was it two cameras? Did you have two cameras so you could shoot both close-ups at the same time? How did you approach that momentous event? Mann: It started with this consummate respect for the great artists that these two guys are. We talked about the scene and we analysed the scene… We didn't want to do the scene until we were at Cape Mandelini's. And then it was so ingrained that I knew that in all the little tiny organic details it would be different from take to take. So what I wanted to do was shoot with two cameras, two over the shoulders – I knew that there would be an organic unity to one take, and it would be a slightly different organic unity to another; because if you look at it very carefully, if Bob shifts his hand like this a little bit, right in the middle of dialogue, Al is doing something to counter it - because maybe he's shifting his positions so he can get closer to a weapon… Nolan: What do you remember about that shoot? Pacino: I do remember that Bob said – at first I wondered about it and then I thought how right he is – he said, “let’s not rehearse it.” Nolan: Because you love to rehearse. Pacino: Oh yeah. And Bob does too. De Niro: No, I do too at times, but this kind of scene we didn't have to. Pacino: But the thing is, what Bob said is so true about rehearsal – and that is that there is no sense in rehearsing if the people around you don't know how to rehearse. That is an important factor. Might as well not rehearse or rehearse very little. But it's true because it's a certain kind of thing and people either respond to it or they don't. And so, they could be great actors, of course, but they don't want to rehearse. I've had experiences like that… De Niro: Well, it was also that we were stationary. So, it wasn't we had to sort of rehearse blocking or anything and discover how our physical moves would be. We were kind of, there, though there were subtle moves in the scene itself, obviously. But anyway, and we started late and.... we didn't start till after lunch or dinner, which was really like one o'clock in the morning...I loved the scene and I wanted, you know, really wanted it to be as best as it could be. So I was a little unhappy that we started so late in the middle of the night... Mann: It was actually intentional... De Niro: I know, he wanted to tire us out. Nolan: But getting into a scene like that, that you know is going to be such a significant part of the film, huge expectation from both of you as you sit down to perform it. At the end of that night, did you know you had it? Did you feel it? Pacino: I never knew that. De Niro: You never know that. Mann: I knew we had it. Nolan: You knew. That's your job. Pacino: I'd like to do it again actually. Mann: (laughs) We’ll re-shoot it… We normally would rehearse scenes. That scene we talked about, we all as a group decided, you know, we wanted to just talk it through and save it for the event of shooting it, which was the only scene we probably did that with. But I tend to not want to rehearse things to the point where I feel like I wish I'd shot it. That's a disaster – I think things will be perfect once, and they'll never be perfect. They'll never be 100% twice. They'll only be 100% once. You want that happening in front of the camera. From a panel discussion following a special screening of Heat at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater on September 7, 2016.

GIVE PEACE A CHANCE First released on July 4, 1969. Yoko: All those Vietnam protests really changed the world. There was always that element who were really resisting it. That was the saving grace – that people were aware that they were that young generation who were really against it. And so it worked very well for the world. And the Bed-In was just part of it, a definite part of it. It was a statement on a very theatrical level and I think it was very effective. We were artists and did it our own way. We felt very good about it then, and it was such an incredibly strange thing that we were doing. At the time it was a courageous thing to do. John was making the statement in a way that he was looking at the far, far future. I saw it in his eyes. He was saying, ‘OK this is what we’re going to do together.’ And we’re going to give peace a chance. To the world.

The Lyrics of Imperfect Mew : Every moment in the song is based on a true story. 🗣️: Can you share some of it with us? Mew : Looking at the lyrics, the first verse starts from the moment of waking up. I wrote it when we were on a cruise, we went to the Caribbean together. The image of sunlight shining on his face, that messy, bedhead look right after waking up... just how incredibly cute he was 😆 Mew : The next verse talks about things we’ve experienced together, such as when we went traveling and missed a train. When we look back on it now, it’s actually funny. Or when it suddenly started raining and we didn’t have an umbrella, so we had to take off a shirt and cover ourselves. In those moments, the imperfection somehow became perfect for us. 🗣️: So this is all based on a true story? Mew: All of it is real. 🗣️: Not a scene from a series? 😂 Mew: No, it really happened. The train incident happened in Munich. Usually, he’s the one who checks the schedule. Like, where to go, which platform and what time. But that day, it looked like he read it wrong, so we rushed because we thought we were going to miss it. But actually, he didn’t read it wrong, the train changed platforms. We had to go to another one. It was funny. No one was at fault… the platform was the one that was wrong 😂 Mew : When I told him which moments behind the song, he related to it so much. He listens to it every night now. He probably knows the lyrics better than I do 😂 Mew : Usually when I write a song, I let him listen to it first. He relates to this one so deeply that he especially loves it.

Quentin Tarantino recounts a dinner with Robert De Niro during the making of Jackie Brown, where he asked him whether he understood when he landed the role of Vito in The Godfather Part II, that it would change his life. De Niro’s answer revealed a great deal about his mindset at the time. “I was working with Robert De Niro on Jackie brown, and we went out to dinner once. - When he got Vito in the Godfather Part II, that was going to be a big thing for him. He won the Oscar for it - it set him up to be a movie star. So I asked him - and I've asked this to quite a few actors when it comes to when they got the role that would end up changing their career - did he realize that the moment when he got the role, that it would have this sort of effect? And he goes oh, “I tried not to let it do that. I tried not to think about that” I go, "really? and why did you try not to think about that?" “Well because I’ve seen it happen and then go the other way” And then he used an example. “There was this guy, he was a young actor, and he was part of our crowd in New York. He'd been doing okay, but we were all in the same boat. Then all of a sudden he got a lead role. He's one of the two leads in a brand new movie by a director who had just done a smash hit.” And he's talking about Larry Pierce (the director) and uh... Goodbye Columbus. ”And he started dining out on it. And all of a sudden I go to the places that we used to go to, and now he's there and everyone's kind of revolving around him. He's kind of holding court. He's not doing anything bad; he's just arisen in the way that none of us have - and we're all treating him different. Then the movie comes out; nobody likes it - The movie comes out, and it goes away, and he's exactly in the same place he was. And I just wanted to make sure that that would never happen to me because I watched it happen to him.” Quote from Video Archives Podcast, sourced from James Whale Bake Sale YouTube channel. Clip below from the Godfather Part II (1974)

zhang hao sharing his thoughts after watching twice concert 🎻 the concert was really fun. it was amazing because it was a four-sided stage so there were a lot of movements. in terms of the performance, i think that the stage was a big help but it was amazing because sunbaenims were able to remember that many movements. i thought/got the impression that they practiced a lot. 🎻 i think that there was not a lot of talking parts (ments) and they just kept on doing stages/performances. there was also not a lot of vcr in between. i think it was fun that the band people just created the atmosphere inside the venue or the fans just did random dance challenges. i’ll give my opinion (to the company) and i think that it would be good if we can pick up some of those when we do our concert too. i saw how they (twice) prepared really hard and i was touched.

The backstory of Chanyeol's krump dance in Infinite Challenge, he did it to lift up the mood bcs that's what he always does with the EXO members and Yixing always likes it so much 🥹 🍒: There's a whole backstory, as far as i remember, in around 2013 when we were practicing for Wolf and Growl, at that time we would all gather in the practice room and practice, then we would joke around a lot. As someone who had the role to lift up the mood, i used to do this a lot! And Lay hyung especially loved it so much he would laugh until he cried. During the (Infinite Challenge) filming, the mood was kinda down, and when it was almost time to wrap up, suddenly Jaesuk hyung said to me "Eoh? But we haven't seen Chanyeol dance" and Lay hyung suddenly said "Chanyeolie is good at kruming!" And Bangarang is a song i really like, and of all things, it was the one that was played, so... i just left it to my body. With that, a legendary scene was born. The mood was instantly lifted, the hyungs (Infinite Challenge casts) really found it hilarious, and the members too, so i just think it was a lot of fun!

David Lynch on using Roy Orbison's "In Dreams" in Blue Velvet (1986), and Roy Orbison's reaction to the film: Chris Rodley: "I’ve always assumed that ‘In Dreams’ was conceived as an integral part of the movie from the beginning. It seems conceptually essential to the story’s intentions and mood. Is that true?" Lynch: "‘In Dreams’ came about while we were in production for Blue Velvet. Kyle MacLachlan and I were on our way down to Wilmington, North Carolina, from New York City. We were going through Central Park on our way to the airport when over the cab’s radio came ‘Crying’ by Roy Orbison, and I’m listening to this song and I said, ‘That! I’ve got to get that for Blue Velvet. When I got to Wilmington I sent somebody out to get Roy Orbison’s greatest hits. I played ‘Crying’ and then I played ‘In Dreams’, and as soon as I did, I forgot ‘Crying’. ‘In Dreams’ explained to me so much of what the film was all about. I immediately called Dennis Hopper and told him about the scene I had in mind and that he had to memorize this song. Dennis and Dean Stockwell are old friends. Dean got together with Dennis to help him work out the song and memorize the lyrics. I wonder why! [Laughs.] So we finally got to the day we were going to shoot the scene in Ben’s apartment where Dennis was going to sing the song. We were rehearsing and Dean said, ‘I’ll stand here and kind of help Dennis if he needs it.’ So we started playing the music and both Dennis and Dean began to sing ‘In Dreams’. All of a sudden Dennis stops singing and looks at Dean — who’s continuing to sing. Dennis is solidly in character and he is moved by Dean’s (Ben’s) singing. There was the scene in front of me. It was so perfect. Once it was decided Dean would be singing ‘In Dreams’, another strange thing happened. I was going to use a small candle-style table lamp as the microphone. Dean knew the microphone was going to be a lamp of some sort and when he went over to the area of Ben’s apartment where we were going to set the song, thinking he saw the prop light, he picked up a work light that was hanging on a nail on the wall. He turned it on and flipped the long cord like a microphone cord and obviously it couldn’t have been more perfect. The strange thing is no one on the crew put that work light there. No one knew where it came from. Who can say how it happens?" Rodley: "The use of ‘In Dreams’ in that scene revived Roy Orbison’s career, but what did he think of the movie and the use of his music in it?" Lynch: "When Roy first saw the movie he didn’t like it. His song ‘In Dreams’ meant another whole thing to him, and it was, like, a precious thing. I think some people he respected must have gotten him to see the movie again and reconsider his feelings. Roy told me that when he saw the movie the second time, he got past what the song was for him and then could appreciate the fact that it was working in another way." — "Lynch on Lynch" (1997), edited by Chris Rodley

"Abel Ferrara's 'Bad Lieutenant' (1992) is among the greatest pictures made about a man’s descent in search of redemption." --- Martin Scorsese Full Excerpt: "I thought 'Bad Lieutenant' (1992) was a key film. It’s the kind of film that I wanted 'The Last Temptation of Christ' (1988) to be. But maybe it was because I dealt with the iconography of Jesus directly that I was not able to get certain aspects that I wanted. Harvey Keitel really felt that it’s what he was aiming for all his life; we had stumbled around it ourselves in the movies we made together, Keitel and myself. And we tried to get it directly in 'The Last Temptation of Christ', but it’s better the way Ferrara and he got it here — especially the confrontation with the image of Jesus in the church. And not just the obviously shocking part of it; it’s when he breaks down and cries and says he’s bad. There’s this beautiful ending with the boy leaving, then Keitel being shot in the car. And there’s the use of Pledging My Love by Johnny Ace, which we had in 'Mean Streets' (1973). In any event, it’s an exceptional movie, extraordinary — I mean, it’s not to everybody’s taste. I loved the themes, and the way Ferrara’s style is so straightforward. You cut into a scene with two women, and they’re naked and music is playing, and then suddenly Keitel is naked, in a sort of trance. Then you cut and you’re into another scene. It’s so strong you don’t need a style. Another example: he goes and gets shot up with some heroin from a woman who is obviously a junkie — it must be for real. So what do you need to know? If you dare, follow him through till the end of the night. It’s among the greatest pictures made about a man’s descent in search of redemption." ('Projections 7', edited by John Boorman and Walter Donohue, 1997)

"Abel Ferrara's 'Bad Lieutenant' (1992) is among the greatest pictures made about a man’s descent in search of redemption." --- Martin Scorsese Full Excerpt: "I thought 'Bad Lieutenant' (1992) was a key film. It’s the kind of film that I wanted 'The Last Temptation of Christ' (1988) to be. But maybe it was because I dealt with the iconography of Jesus directly that I was not able to get certain aspects that I wanted. Harvey Keitel really felt that it’s what he was aiming for all his life; we had stumbled around it ourselves in the movies we made together, Keitel and myself. And we tried to get it directly in 'The Last Temptation of Christ', but it’s better the way Ferrara and he got it here — especially the confrontation with the image of Jesus in the church. And not just the obviously shocking part of it; it’s when he breaks down and cries and says he’s bad. There’s this beautiful ending with the boy leaving, then Keitel being shot in the car. And there’s the use of Pledging My Love by Johnny Ace, which we had in 'Mean Streets' (1973). In any event, it’s an exceptional movie, extraordinary — I mean, it’s not to everybody’s taste. I loved the themes, and the way Ferrara’s style is so straightforward. You cut into a scene with two women, and they’re naked and music is playing, and then suddenly Keitel is naked, in a sort of trance. Then you cut and you’re into another scene. It’s so strong you don’t need a style. Another example: he goes and gets shot up with some heroin from a woman who is obviously a junkie — it must be for real. So what do you need to know? If you dare, follow him through till the end of the night. It’s among the greatest pictures made about a man’s descent in search of redemption."

🤍: I liked that scene because… the person riding the motorcycle coming out from the other side 🤍: (laughs) The motorcycle rider almost crashed into Film. ❤️‍🩹: Ohhh right, P’. 🤍: You could tell he was super tense while driving. 🤍: And we had to act all serious in front of— (laughs) 🤍:That was the last day of filming too, wasn't it? ❤️‍🩹: Yeah... 🤍: it was so exhausted 🤍: Seriously intense. Especially that part where you said, Don’t pity me. I just want love. 🤎 Honestly, this part was real. I wasn't even looking at the monitor. I was standing right beside the set, watching it happen live. 🤍 Do you know what happened then? 🤍 Tears were running down both cheeks. 🤍 There was such a heavy feeling in that moment. I don’t even know if it was fear of Bambi or fear of something else at the moment ❤️‍🩹 But I'd say that was one of the most challenging scenes for me since I started acting in series, because... 🤍 Between that scene and the under the table scene, which one was harder emotionally? ❤️‍🩹 That one… that one was harder. Because of the limited time, and also that feeling when you're having a panic attack. ❤️‍🩹 We were supposed to gradually build the emotions up, right? But when we actually filmed it, they had us go straight into the peak of it. Straight to the climax. 🤍: I can imagine. ❤️‍🩹: Yeah… so it became physically difficult too. Because when you’re shaking that much, it’s really hard to control everything. So I just wanted to get it out as fast as possible. But then there were these... flashes. Driving home, I felt like crying the whole time. ❤️‍🩹: It just felt suffocating. Really suffocating. Because… I don’t know, it’s hard to explain. But it was a good challenge. 🤍 But the under the table scene was really intense too. You’d be shocked #GirlRulesSeriesEP9

Quentin Tarantino on Sergio Leone: "People sometimes think that Leone was the first Italian to make spaghetti westerns. But of course he wasn’t. Sergio Corbucci was doing a spaghetti western in 1964, the same time Leone was doing Fistful of Dollars. But he wasn’t trying to do something different at that time — he was actually trying to be more like the American westerns, and this is reflected in the music, which isn’t operatic at all. It was Leone who put the music to task and turned it to opera. I know there are examples that will be contrary to what I am saying, but it feels as if Leone is the first guy ever to cut picture to music in that way. Before him it just happened by accident where somebody thought it would be cool for a little sequence, but didn’t think they should do it for the rest of the movie. But the way we cut to music now: you pick some rock song and you cut your scene to that song. That all started with Leone and Morricone, and particularly with The Good, the Bad and the Ugly." — excerpt from Quentin Tarantino's forward to “Once Upon a Time in the West: Shooting a Masterpiece” by Christopher Frayling, published in 2019

#LiuYuning mentioning #BaiLu and #AoRuipeng’s one-hand princess carry video on his livestream today LYN: Some friends (fans) said “Did you film any collaboration video one-hand princess carry videos? (for tpob promotions)” I’ll be honest with you, I’ve seen netizens say to film promotional drama marketing videos, including the one-hand princess carry, collaboration videos etc, I’ve really seen the requests, and I really was preparing to film them. However, when I first saw the picture it was just their back, I didn’t know who it was, then when I took a look (at the video) again, I remembered and I thought, “didn’t a coworker within the industry film this before?”. So I searched it up and other people have already filmed this for the promotional materials. Other people have already filmed this for the promotional materials. It’s not that I don’t want to, but others have filmed this before. If we film it, it’ll be easy for people to criticise us, saying that “you’re copying others. You’re copying BaiLu and Ao Ruipeng. When I saw the video I realised it was indeed the two of them who filmed it. People may say, “you’re afraid of people saying that you’re copying others”, and I’d say “yeah, because it’s better to avoid unnecessary trouble, especially during this time frame, so in the end we didn’t film it. But it indeed looks good when seeing others take the video. It looks pretty good, that’s why I thought we could do it too, but in the end we didn’t film it. #刘宇宁 #白鹿 #敖瑞鹏 #MoonlightMystique

Charlie Evans revealed in a recent interview with MarieClaire that the chair pull was improvised “We needed to be closer for that and I didn’t really feel like leaning that far, so we just kind of did it in the moment,” Evans tells marie claire Australia exclusively. “It looked right and it felt great and it didn’t interfere with the shot, so we just kept it in.” “Mika is so funny and so open and willing to try things out and play a scene a million different ways. She’s so good at saying yes and exploring things, which we did,” he recalls. “We kind of just went through that scene instinctually and that was sort of the final product, was whatever we felt in the moment. It didn’t really need much adjusting, which was nice.”

In Goodfellas, when Joes Pesci's character Tommy shoots Spider, some of the actors wore earplugs to protect themselves from the gunfire. But Pesci refused - he wanted to hear the full blast of the gun, to immerse himself in the moment. He explains... “It was very hard for me to get as close to killing someone as possible in that scene, because it wasn't a contract killing, and it wasn't somebody that had to be…(it was) a kid. And some of the actors, even Bob (Robert De Niro) - they put earplugs in. But I wanted this feeling, this deafening feeling - I wanted to feel that gun ride and feel like it. And the kid that played Spider (Michael Imperioli) threw himself back so violently at the first shot that he went flying against the bar and cut his hand. They had to take him to the hospital. He cut it on a pitcher that fell. I think everybody in that room, including me, felt like I killed that kid.” Quote comes from the commentary track off the Goodfellas Blu-ray

The Dark Knight (2008) ends on one of the most powerful and emotional images in superhero cinema. Batman rides into the darkness, taking the blame for crimes he did not commit, choosing to become a villain in the public eye so that Gotham can keep believing in Harvey Dent. It is a quiet, haunting conclusion that perfectly captures the film’s central idea that true heroism sometimes means being misunderstood. Christopher Nolan later revealed that the final shot was actually an accident. He said, “I didn’t know how, visually, to end the film. The shot we ended up using, I only discovered in the dailies. Our setup was that we had the stunt guy on the bike and we would chase him with a vehicle while filming. He goes up a ramp and there’s a movie light shining down the ramp. He just flew into it, and it flares slightly around the edges of the cape. I saw that in the dailies and realized it was the tail end of the shot.” He added, “I thought, okay, that’s the end of the film. We just hang on that as long as we dare and then cut to black. You cut to black from light, which is unusual, but it felt like the right thing to do.”
