straight away i can see that ur cute
can we have more videos like these on differenet directors . like important cuts from different videos
Fincher is the first director I heard who really acknowledged he doesn’t do everything.
He said directing a movie is like painting a masterpiece, the canvas is 30 feet from you and there’s 40 people all holding the brush at the same time.
what he meant was probably "directing a movie with HOLLYWOOD money", because I can name plenty of directors that will want (and get) complete control over their movies. While I like Fincher's work a whole lot I think Tarantino was right in pointing out a difference between what he does and what Fincher (and many others) do. Regardless the quality of the end-product, There is a really big, no a HUGE difference between what we could call a 'writer/director' and a 'director' and a big difference between a 'filmmaker' and a 'director' as well. Tarantino fits into both formers, Fincher in the latters.
@@theyshouldhavenevergivenme5439
The filmmaker vs director thing is just the same as saying "I do real art" in opposition to doing commercial movies.
Tarantino may become a real artist the day he stops stealing entire plots and scenes. Tarantino is a scammer.
@agree thats how he described directing
I tell people this all the time...that a good filmmaker has to be a great storyteller .. because a room full of strangers has to feel the same way...all at the same time.
Unfortunately, some movies being released currently ain’t that good "story-wise” but their cinematography, vfx, acting etc.. is on point.
Im acctually studying my last year of filmmaking in high school right now and im planning my last project right now. The most recent movies have really been just some entertainment rather than feelings/experience, which i understand movie are, feelings and experience. If i continue my path in the film industry i want people to feel the main character feel, or be feeling they are sitting in the same situation.
@@ingefossen8499 wait, I recognize that name. is she the filmmake who made films for the nazis??
The only problem is that cinema is not only about telling stories. You might not even understand it.
@@MikelGCinema that is the beauty of cinema in my opinion. It’s art and feelings rather than something that you should entirely understand.
Listening to him talk about the art is something else. Can tell his knowledge is so deep.
I love David Fincher so much i took psychology instead of going to film school
😂
Man, The Killer. Hope you guys have seen it. It's Fincher compressed but still focused as hell. That kind of a story. Could have been a stupid, run-of-the-mill action film, just like a dance can be someone wiggling. With Fincher it's like the highest form of disciplined, controlled, exuberant, classical dance. One of the best fight scenes I've ever seen. So action, yes, no apologies from Fincher, but have him make a thriller like Seven and we've all seen the results.
My respect for this man is ♾️
David Fincher literally grew up in a town that was like a giant film school. He worked at ILM... People should do whatever they want. If you wanna go to film school do it. If you don't get in, don't worry. Just learn to make great stuff wherever.
I can confidently say fincher and Tarantino are the all time great film makers!
What about Bergman, Tarkovsky, Bresson, Dreyer, Kieslowski, Bela Tarr, etc.
@@IJohnSmithKubrick???????
The last line was so true! ❤❤
I hope he comes back to finish Mindhunter. I want to eventually see the BTK storyline wrap up.
David, I adore you forever.
So many wise words from a legend...
What Fincher appears to do consistently is provide a dark backdrop of a story, Whether it's a serial killer, a wife being diabolical, or a young male going insane while have a relationship with his alter ego, he always begins from a dark place. Then the cinematographer can create the color in that darkness, which is what Fincher is known for. This is what makes him interesting. He's never interested in lighting a sitcom stage, at all. If the script and the actors are congruent, they have chemistry, then Fincher, like he said fills in the little details. His fear is probably being boring. Shooting a scene and turn boring really quick if it doesn't have that personality the audience will be interested in. He gave the Dragon Tattoo no time for boring visuals as the character was complicated and emotionally connecting with the audience and morphing into a superhero per se, even though that was never her intention, and that's what made it work. The best characters the audience feels genuine about are the reluctant heroes, because the director knows the audience will connect and you can branch out into other areas of the premise of the story or the scene. He's very clever about staying in his lane, as this has been his consistent decision making his whole career. This is why Ben Button was the least interesting as a story, but visually stunning.
What he's saying is that you need to explain your film if you want box office. That's why David Lynch has trouble with funding/backers. He won't go there. He's a true artist.
00:00 consider me charmed
4:58 great leadership advice in general
Amazing piece of advice
All the Film School you need in 6.38 min
Moment in time. Where else does a moment exist?
Spot on!
The Prince Of Darkness 🖤
The fact that this video has 69 dislikes only proves Fincher's point that we people are perverts
Love his genuineness and passion.
This is my fav director but make no mistake having a excellent film camera and enough money in the home to make films at age 8, is extremely rare
He is so … so … good
Great edit! Loving your new channel.
I'm a fan of his but his films are hit and miss in equal measure? I think he's a stupendous technician; his films look and sound better than anyone's with the exception of Wes Anderson's (both directors very different). If it's true that David says he never listened to anyone it underlines narcissism; me, me, me. I like to learn from other great and greater talents; as actor Charles Bronson once said of Robert Aldrich, 'no man can know everything'. I think David still has elements of a reactionary youthful film maker which seems to be reducing and we should soon see a more mature mind leading to greater stand out films? He needs to watch that he doesn't become another Ridley Scott as David's films increasingly look identical! Always thanks to him for giving me/us films that we always enjoy returning to.
The last sentence is just as real as this comment is.
They ended it right when things were getting good…..
in my opinion the best director ever lived
People are perverts!? What in the hell does that even mean? That's such a bizarre thing to say.
Many moons ago, I was deciding if I should write a song about the hypocrisy of puritanism. The first 7 seconds of this video (when I saw it on the Dragon Tattoo commentary) was the tipping point for me to finally make it, because I've always said the same exact thing. Always been a huge Fincher fan. Looking forward to The Killer.
I don't love all the fluffy language about filmmaking from directors. Like no shit you're trying to get a room to feel all at once lol
Akira Kurosawa was once asked what advice he would give to young filmmakers and he said something like "Start with writing scripts, there's more opportunity to direct there."
I still believe Fincher is the Zodiac killer.
???????????????????
@@livishtv he's right
So does David.
@05:25 ..How to talk about Alien 3 without mentioning the name of the film.
I don’t ever want him to grow old 😪😪😪
David Fincher: "I've never listened to anyone."
30 years earlier on set of Alien 3....
20th Century Fox: "You better do exactly what we say and clean up this mess we left you, or you'll never work in this town again!"
David Fincher: *gulp* "Y-yes, sir........"
He himself has disowned the film and has said that no one hates the film more than himself.
Why did netlix cancel Mindhunter!?
Why does his voice get so much deeper in the gone girl interview
I don't want to meet people whose favorite director is Fincher.
hahaah it's me then
I would like to write a Hitchcock/Truffaut book about Fincher. Alas, I am not Truffaut.
What is wrong with going to film school? Educating yourself?
Debt.
He always comes across as though his narcissism is a little too high; they can't stand listening to anyone else! They know it all which cannot be the case. I went to film school which was a mistake as all I did was try and side step the endless narcissists and sociopaths. I should have stayed at home and... typed... which I now do and works well for me.
I disagree with his notion of violence needing to be portrayed as “bad” or not a “joke”. Nuance exists
I think he just means in HIS movies he wants violence to be hard to watch and not enjoyable. Not that it needs to be like that in all movies
@@abdomen9038 that isn’t what he said though
Violence and strong language are two things that turn me off anyone's work which is a reason I avoid some of David's films.
What is his next project?
The killer, it’s a upcoming Netflix action thriller David is currently filming.
@@underratedmovies971 - Awesome, thanks. Is it JUST on Netflix? Is it going to be like The Irishman, where it is on Netflix, but it also goes to the theaters too?
@@matthewschwartz6607 too early to tell. just gotta wait and see
People who label other people as perfectionists are probably just lazy.
@@GOD-ws4de I’m just quoting the last line from the video, David Fincher said it himself, and he is a famous perfectionist
Imagine how the film world would be if he didnt live across the street from George Lucas when he was a teen.
Strangely reminds me of Virgil Abloh in some way.
Virgil was unoriginal & a thief
I read that he’s really difficult to work with , and that he PUNCHED someone ! He seems pretty decent here .
Hahaha whaaaat? I doubt that, even though you never know! Yes, he's a perfectionist
You’re probably thinking of David O. Russell
@@scooterlibbie - Was he the guy who did the fighter?
@@matthewschwartz6607 Yea
How to start a great video:
"I think people are perverts"
:D
Okay, let me tell you how I got this. Well, I heard him say we're perverts and then I couldn't hear the rest.
Because he's right.
And that's bizarre.
Over glorifying a simple job…
Not at all
so go do it then
@@bingoing I do it everyday...thats my profession
Then you’re a hack who just had connections and relies on the crew to do everything. For directors who actually have to prove themselves to get the job… it’s not “simple”
@@Frontigenics most directors are hacks…specially the ones like him who over glorify their own work when in reality the most hard work is done by the rest of the invisible crew…
David Fincher is the master at his craft, but studio will only care if he is gay/LGBTABCDE/black or some other DIE bullshit
His worst film is Alien 3.
I think it could have been good. I read that there was quite a bit of interference from the studio and encouraged to be more conventional or something along those lines.
True. But it wasn't so bad either
20th Century Fox took the film away from him. If you watch any of his DVD's/Blu-Rays on video, the only director's commentary track that he doesn't have is on that particular film. Did you ever get a chance to check out the alternate version where the first one infected is an ox instead of a dog?
They took his soul/innocence right at the go. He hasn't looked back since.
He hasn’t made a good movie since Boogie Nights
Lmao
@@joebama6655 did i say something funny?
Nah Kill Bill and No Country for Old Men were classic.
@@Sayajin3321 still doesn't get better than Goodfellas
@@joebama6655 I thought his work in Dr. Zhivago trumped all his other films.
He is not an artist. He is just a film maker. David Lynch, Andrey Tarkovsky, Alejandro Jodorowsky, Andrzej Żuławski, Lars von Trier, those are big artists. Fincher is just a Hollywood dummy, who makes blockbusters, glamorous but forgetful.
I am not a huge Fincher fan but I disagree 100%. His movies have a depth and a style to it.
I also find very questionable that you find David Lynch to be better than him...
@@thomasche
What depth lol? His movies has straightforward narrative and Hollywood clichés. His interpretation of the girl with the dragon tattoo is just braindead copycat of Swedish movie.
With a top 5 like Fight Club, Seven, Zodiac, Gone Girl and Social Network..... hes one of the best directors of all time, and Tarkovsky + Von Trier = snoozefests. Only saw Jodorowsky's most famous film and it was shit. Never heard of Zulawski but probably for good reason. Fincher is standing strong with Tarantino, FF Coppola, Scorsese, Villeneuve, Michael Mann, Sergio Leone, James Cameron, Nolan, Coen's, Eastwood, Spike Lee, Kubrick, PTA, and Sam Mendes as the best directors of all time pal...
There is unbelievable artistry in all of Fincher's films.
@@dylan9040
Dude, if you think Cameron and Spike lee are good directors, and Tarkovsky and Jodorowsky are not, I only feel sorry for you. Your intellect is too limited to understand cinematography. Keep watching Spider-Man, Transformers, Fincher, etc.
