I would of loved to of seen his version of The Hobbit. Brian Sibley (Who worked on a lot of Tolkien projects) said that he saw artwork and set designs and it would of been very different to Jacksons version. (That he didn't want to do)
I am not found of this kind of thinking. There are a lot of problems on this way. So in my humble opinion I think its mix of both. Acceptance AND change!
This man is a movie legend, one of the few directors that does their own thing. Also "Perfection has no place in love", I'm stealing this. It's mine now. :D
Absolutely love The Shape of Water. A rare mixed genre film that works as a drama, sci fi, romance, body horror, fantasy, thriller, and has comedic and musical elements. Only GDT could pull that off so beautifully.
The version of The Hobbit that we missed out on and ended up with a version that Jackson didn't want to do.. Brian Sibley (Worked on a ton of Tolkien projects inc BBC radio versions of The Hobbit and LotR) said that he saw a lot of artwork and set designs and yep.. It would of been a very very different version of The Hobbit.. I don't blame Jackson for The Hobbit as he was pulled in at the last moment and forced to make 3 films.. I would of loved to of seen Del Toro's dark version of it.
My fave movies of his are Pan’s Labyrinth, Devil’s Backbone (in my opinion his most under appreciated movie as far as general audiences go), and Shape of Water. Shape of Water 100% deserved the acclaim.
Proud to have seen Nightmare Alley opening day at theaters. Crimson Peak is extremely underrated as GdT pointed out, it's one of my favorites from him.
I never understoo the backlash Crimson Peak got. It was a gothic love story not a horror or thriller movie. The whole set piece was beautiful and I loved the actors he picked for the roles. I think they really suited the imperfect perfect hollywood stars and thus the storyline. Yes it was cheesy and slightly overdone but a lot of his action superhero movies had the same quality. And people seem to appreciate them and their imperfections.
@@alannahhurley386 Main issue is that the term 'horror' has been warped by Hollywood and its consumers. Most associate horror with jump scares and continuous dread, hell, even critics seem to have jumped into the same misunderstanding. No wonder Crimson Peak tanked, but yeah, it is fun to watch; I've rewatched it at least 4 times. But in the end, it seems GDT is somewhat cursed to make great movies, and to see them shunned by a majority of the worlds audience.
Yea I really enjoyed Crimson Peak. The first time through I'd hoped for more on the horror front so I didn't enjoy it as much, but on the rewatch I could really appreciate the story and the love, especially at the end, that there was redemption because of faith and because of love.
When I was 13, my parents took me to see Pan's Labyrinth, and it absolutely broke me. I came out of the cinema hall and started sobbing uncontrollably. My parents were like: "What's going on, why are you crying?!" And I was like: "I don't know!" Never seen this movie again since, and still remember it vividly. Ah, to be 13 and to watch films completely inappropriate for your age...
Yay, Guillermo will be my friend. Crimson Peak was a beautiful film, and I really enjoyed it. I don’t usually watch thriller/horror movies but it was so good.
Listening to Guillermo del Toro is always a pleasure. He’s an encyclopedia of cinema and so enthusiastic. You may like some of his films more than the others, but he’s never made a bad film. I love him 🥰
I unabashedly love the first Pacific Rim for the exact reasons del Toro outlined and it's good to hear that he loves it too (and now of course I desperately want to see his sequel)
Crimson Peak is not only my favorite GDT movie but my favorite movie period. He's so right when he talks about the "world creation" quality of the film and how its an "immersive vibe". So beautiful and haunting and gothic. It has my entire heart 🖤
Guillermo del Toro gives me hope for great genre cinema. Each one of his films are great and are just special. He is one of my biggest heros and a filmmaker I adore.
What an amazing director. Thank you for posting such a thoughtful analysis from Del Toro! Also Nightmare Alley is soooo good, please see it if you haven't yet
Damn this video is excellent. Selfishly, it was great to hear Pacific Rim is one of his favourites, since that premise is so ridiculous (ly awesome) and that he is still creating around both fantastical and grounded ideas to make something more important and poignant.
Mimic was terrifying and some scenes were really disgusting to watch. But still a really interesting monster movie and the most underrated of Guillermo Del Toro
I remember seeing this at the cinema before Del Toro was a big name. I really enjoyed it. Then later when I found out he made it, I revisited and renewed my love for it. Very underrated.
Guillermo del Toro for me, sits at the nexus between commercially viable Hollywood blockbuster and true art house cinema. As such, he is, in my opinion, one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. Whilst I haven't seen Nightmare Alley, for me Pan's Labrynith was a magnum opus that perfectly married the fear of parenthood, the fear of childhood loss, and the fear of parental loss. That the ending succinctly ties these three elements of loss together is a testament to the scope and scale of an exceptional visual artist's vision.
"I had interest in the superhero movie when it was not the pursuit of the large industry." That is EXACTLY the issue I have with superhero movies. Even the well-made ones have this feel of being machine-made. Of having their corners sanded down to fit a commercial whole. And after a while, the sameness kills my enjoyment.
Pan's Labyrinth gave me nightmares for 3 months. I ONLY RECENTLY got my mom to admit it was a bad idea for her and dad to take me to see that movie as a 10 year old. the fucking pale man lives rent-free in the darkest depths of my mind, lurking, waiting to fucking come out in my nightmares again.
Today, I learned that I would easily be friends with him, as I liked Crimson Peak for what was attempted and the feel of it. That said, the fact that I like every one of his films in some way probably meant that was a given
If you like GDT check out The Spirit of the Beehive. I don't think there's another movie where you can see the monumental impression that it made on another director quite like this.
could listen to him speaking about movies with all his love and insights for hours.what i do not understand though, why are his endings so telegraphed, when he gives the ending such big importance. would it not be more emotional and engaging to keep the audience guessing till the end credits?
"If you like Crimson Peak, you're already my friend" I'm Guillermo's friend! :D fr tho, I'm sucker for a good gothic romance and Crimson Peak might as well be the modern blueprint.
So I just learned I am Guillermo del Torro's friend and I feel great! Crimson Peak was beautiful! I love it! And boy...I would've loved a Pacific Rim sequel by Del Torro.. we were robbed!!!
Crimson Peak's failure has much more to do with the marketing being rather misleading. Coming across more of a dark ghost horror flick helmed by Guillermo del Toro. Horror fans rushed to theaters and were greeted with a gothic romance. To quote the main character "it's not a ghost story, but it does have ghosts in it." Personally loved the film even if i was expecting a ghost story due to the marketing. Love this video. Also would love to sit and watch Blade Trinity, the two mimic sequels, the hellboy remake and pacific rim 2 with Guillermo and hear genuine thoughts on all of those
As he mentions at the end, the “precision” of Nightmare Alley is what makes it his most refined movie to date. Even though I knew where it was going, the artistry of the direction combined with the impeccable acting really stood out.
Please can you fix your audio. In many of your videos the narrators voice is lost in the sound of the clips from the movies, it's far to soft. The narrator track also kicks in louder at random points then fades back.
IGN please listing, one of me faforet things in movies it's characters that are feel bigger than life. Characters like Tyler Durden, Vito Corleone, and Hans Landa. Characters like those are a part of what make films so spishel for me. So please make a top 10 list of bigger than life characters.
YO can you plz make more differences between the walking dead tv show and comic videos! You didn’t keep going after season 3 and everyone is desperately waiting for more. Make it happen plz plz plz
I remember he made that weird comment about how it's "no coincidence" that the Pale Man was pale and a male. To that, I say, of course not! Pale, clammy skin is like that of a corpse, and something that looks like a corpse and moves on its own sets off our uncanny valley alarms. As for it being male, well, when you're creating a humanoid monster, you have a choice between giving it a male or female physique. While a male is more of a physical threat, I doubt a set of boobs would've made Pale Woman any less terrifying.
“The killing of the two kids and the dog is very nice”
Del Toro could literally describe horrific shit and make it sound wholesome
He really said that hahahahahahah my man I love him
I mean, it was the best scene in that film...
Too be fair kids can be super annoying
He's a legend and for a man who looks like a cute Santa he's got grounded and dark thoughts
I would of loved to of seen his version of The Hobbit.
Brian Sibley (Who worked on a lot of Tolkien projects) said that he saw artwork and set designs and it would of been very different to Jacksons version. (That he didn't want to do)
@@fingersTitan The rights are now for sale, time for do over?
@@pdzombie1906 I think it's time for another adventure..
“I don’t think love should demand transformation, it should demand acceptance”
God damn I love this guy.
I am not found of this kind of thinking. There are a lot of problems on this way. So in my humble opinion I think its mix of both. Acceptance AND change!
Just to add few words - because we got older together, our bodies and minds transform, change ... so our acceptance of our love too.
It leads to people enabling each other's flaws. Very bad idea.
@@UmbrellaGent On the other side, if love only demand transformation it could also lead people to feel stressed, So yea mix of both are perfect
This man is a movie legend, one of the few directors that does their own thing.
Also "Perfection has no place in love", I'm stealing this. It's mine now. :D
Absolutely love The Shape of Water. A rare mixed genre film that works as a drama, sci fi, romance, body horror, fantasy, thriller, and has comedic and musical elements. Only GDT could pull that off so beautifully.

Considering how much I like two of those movies, I guess I better go watch Devil's Backbone

Your parents are RUDE! 😶 They also have great taste in movies, but suck at parenting. I still like them, but ouch.
Wtf, who shows his 13 year old child that kind of movie?
I watched it at 16 and OMG, I had nightmares with those hands !
I’ve never seen this man in front of the camera. What a brilliant artist.
He looks just like Pappy McPoyle!
Pan’s Labyrinth changed my life and is still just about in my personal top 10 favourite movies.
same. It is my number 1 film, and the one that woke me up to cinema
Only movie that had made me cry as an adult male lol
@@jonathanstmartin definitely the one that made me believe in cinema again, and that film is where my heart truly lies.
@@NoName-cn3cp that ending every time 🥲
Lol sure it did
Yay, Guillermo will be my friend. Crimson Peak was a beautiful film, and I really enjoyed it. I don’t usually watch thriller/horror movies but it was so good.
Del Toro... what a creator. I absolutely love his dedication to craft and pathos
Hellboy is a movie that's grown on me since seeing it. It's so whimsical while Ron Perlman kicks some tail playing the title character.
Listening to Guillermo del Toro is always a pleasure. He’s an encyclopedia of cinema and so enthusiastic. You may like some of his films more than the others, but he’s never made a bad film. I love him 🥰
You should see Mimic...it's pretty bad, lol. Not his fault, though.
@@mnkykungfu Oh god, yes, that one is horrendous xD
One of the greatest filmmakers out of Mexico and one of the best in the world. I don't have enough words to say how much I love him.
I unabashedly love the first Pacific Rim for the exact reasons del Toro outlined and it's good to hear that he loves it too (and now of course I desperately want to see his sequel)
it has grown on me over the years, I didn't like it the first time, but on later watches, I really came to appreciate it more
Pacific Rim was his love letter to the tokusatsu world and also the giant robots world from Japan. Tetsujin 28, Gundam, Godzilla, etc.
Nightmare Alley is probably my favorite movie of last year, truly a beautiful film that scratched my noir itch so AGGRESSIVELY
Really awesome to have Señor Del Toro in your channel!
Crimson Peak is not only my favorite GDT movie but my favorite movie period. He's so right when he talks about the "world creation" quality of the film and how its an "immersive vibe". So beautiful and haunting and gothic. It has my entire heart 🖤
Guillermo del Toro gives me hope for great genre cinema. Each one of his films are great and are just special. He is one of my biggest heros and a filmmaker I adore.
Horror elevated to whimsical & visceral. Guillermo is a master at his craft and the world is richer for it
What an amazing director. Thank you for posting such a thoughtful analysis from Del Toro!
Also Nightmare Alley is soooo good, please see it if you haven't yet
Damn this video is excellent.
Selfishly, it was great to hear Pacific Rim is one of his favourites, since that premise is so ridiculous (ly awesome) and that he is still creating around both fantastical and grounded ideas to make something more important and poignant.
Crimson peak had been my favorite go-to movie for dark,rainy nights, and by the look of it Nightmare Alley will become another one :3
I loved Cronos , it made me cry at the end. A must watch for sure.
Mimic was terrifying and some scenes were really disgusting to watch. But still a really interesting monster movie and the most underrated of Guillermo Del Toro
I remember seeing this at the cinema before Del Toro was a big name. I really enjoyed it. Then later when I found out he made it, I revisited and renewed my love for it. Very underrated.
Hoping one day he makes his 'At the mountains of madness' adaptation... Great video, thanx!!!
This video is exactly what I was hoping for when Cinefix paired up with IGN. So good!
It’s actually criminal that such an amazing channel gets such low views. My favourite channel on RUclips
You guys actually got him on the channel? That's amazing.
one of my favorite directors talking about movies I absolutely love a fantastic video
The ending of Nightmare Alley is such a heartbreaking gut-punch. For me it illustrates the tragedy of loneliness.
Nightmare Alley is magnificent. It’s absolutely gorgeous, with some truly brilliant performances.
Del Toro can do no wrong. Love his work!
Guillermo is amazing
oh god this is extremely insightful more of this, please.
One of the many reasons Guillermo is my favorite director
Can't wait for his take on Pinocchio.
Gold dust interview 👍 Love Crimson Peak and Nightmare Alley.

wow, this is gold! hope to see more of this "series"
Del Toro is brilliant. The way he sees the world if fascinating for me.
Living treasure, this man.

Had no idea Nightmare Alley was even released! I'm gonna watch it soon
You know this is one of my favorite director's and i did love Crimson Peak
I just wanna say :
"Guillermo del Toro is a God!!"
Wow, he makes horrific scenes which we still would love to see over and over again.
Today, I learned that I would easily be friends with him, as I liked Crimson Peak for what was attempted and the feel of it. That said, the fact that I like every one of his films in some way probably meant that was a given
Pacific Rim is underrated
Amazing director, love his movies!
I love this! His mind is something else.
“…love should demand acceptance” 🙏 What a legend. Master of the Art. I grew up terrified of his film Blade 1 & 2. Now… as he said it… I’m his friend 😁
My hero! 🇲🇽
God I love this man's movies
I know it's on few people's 'best of' lists, but del Toro's 2010 remake of 'Don't Be Afraid of the Dark' was fun, I thought.
I remember the old videos of his I missed the trailer recreations
I didn't know that I could love Guillermo del Toro more. I'm happy to be wrong.
By far one of the best directors of all time. Live forever.
Aprendo de la vida escuchándolo
Had Guillermo del Toro been there, Pacific Rim sequel would have been something amazing!
I must watch crimson peak as soon as humanly possible
I want third Hellboy by him
I love this mans movies!!
The visual master! Both Hellboy movies are so superior to the Marvel franchises.
Bien.😁 Seria amigos con Guillermo porque me gusta Crimson Peak. It is one of my fav movies by him. ♥️
I also really like Don't Be Afraid of the Dark.
Amazingly wisdom man 🧙🏻♂️So many interesting thoughts.
Pacific Rim is perfect for me. Saw it in the theaters and loved every minute

I gotta rewatch blade 2
