Stuff we use:
CAMERA - This is the camera we have used to film 90+% of our interviews (over 200 interviews and counting) It continues to be our workhorse - amzn.to/2u66V1J
LENS - Most people ask us what camera we use, no one ever asks about the lens which filmmakers always tell us is more important. This lens was a big investment for us and one we wish we could have made sooner. Started using this lens at the end of 2013 - amzn.to/2tbtmOq
AUDIO
Rode VideoMic Pro - The Rode mic helps us capture our backup audio. It also helps us sync up our audio in post amzn.to/2t1n2hx
Audio Recorder - If we had to do it all over again, this is probably the first item we would have bought - amzn.to/2tbFlM9
LIGHTS - Although we like to use as much natural light as we can, we often enhance the lighting with this small portable light. We have two of them and they have saved us a number of times - amzn.to/2u5UnHv
COMPUTER - Our favorite computer, we each have one and have used various models since 2010 - amzn.to/2t1M67Z

How has anyone in film not read 1984? Are you kidding me?!
One of my favorite human beings. He is one of the most inspiring figures you've had on Film Courage.
seeing this legend talk about 1984 the novel is bone chilling!!!! what a time we are living in
That was heavy. He is a great story teller.
1984 is the book we are living. THEY LIVE! is the movie...
If that was true how wold you be abel to expres that?
Absofuckinglutely!
@@thespiritualwar9982 what you say is true burt the situation is not that bad. I think nobody can do nothing to you if it dosent have some cooperation from your side. Even the ideea that this people are so powerfull and they can treat us like ships works against you. Now i don't know if such groups of people or aliens or whatever exist and yes it is plain like daylight that our sistem promotes consumarism and tryes to squeez every drop of energy out of you just for a company's profit. But remember that your live is your live and you are the own entity that can determin it's quality. Let's promote that ideea from now on. What do you say?
I don't think we have hit that level of dystopia yet.
And Soylent Green is what we eat.
First time I saw Mr. Duke in a film, was in the movie American Gigolo, what a performance!!! Played it to the "T", wasn't a huge, huge part but big enough to leave a very good impression on me about the man and now, after all of these years, I find myself even more amazed at the wisdom of this man. Thank you, Mr. Duke.
That was incredible, I could see the scene in my head while he spoke.
he talks about the truth everybody is afraid to speak out loud
The "truth" is what the party says it is. Period. Or else.
Chiky Scares You not bout ti ti to court and ready to die for mine(my seed) my only seed my only son@ Suffolk county family court keep praying about your worries! Stop complaining
Him There Whuck?
Chiky Scares You dick Gregory did the same thing. You see where he at right. They don’t want you to know the truth. Vlad is a damn assassin. He exposes you and then next thing you know your dead.
I got scared just by bill telling the story. He's a great storyteller and actor..
Yooo me too
His portrayal of that scene makes me want to see that classic movie again.
Heck, I might read the book again. I still have my high school copy from 9th grade.
Fantastic movie.
@@mainstreetsaint36 what movie ?
He's not lying, we are living in a dystopian society right now.
Dystopian society has RUclips though.
@@metaparcel what's your shitty point?
@@oneoftheskull3158 Well you can still bitch online, can't be as bad as you think sucka.
Oneoftheskull and its good
@@oneoftheskull3158 What is that?
The actor he is referring to is John Hurt who also played John Merrick in the Elephant Man.
Kane from Alien
Brilliant movie
That was terrifying lol he really slips into the role
This isn't a role this is real life
daniel de lewis The scene he was describing is from a fictional book, so to embody the character he was doing a little acting to get his point across. This is what good storytellers do. So no it’s not real life. Those events did not happen. He is just saying that it’s similar to what we are living and the book has prophetic qualities, which I totally agree with.
@@jacksp8de fictional?
@@danieldelewis2448 You missed the HUGEST point in his comment?
#SmallMinds
I can definitely see you working for the "Thought Police" as a career job.
I love this man. What a legend.

@@donaldpace9033 it's not for you maybe. I'm looking for the people who need and want that spirit hip hop music homez💯
@@HenagaH you soft
@@donaldpace9033 it's cool with me if you think that bruh.
@0:39 through 00:44 when he ask her a question about that book.... It's like he was thinking to himself If she gets this answer wrong.... you know... you done fu*ked up .. you know that don'tcha 💀😩😂 All jokes aside.. this man was a very good actor.
😂🤣😂🤣
just doing what he is payd for.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂 Lmfaoo! Sirkeith. He is one hell of an actor though.
@@user-zm9yc2kb8x He got paid in that movie scene too for those famous lines so what are you talking about.
After the first go I already got it. "How many fingers am I holding up?" FOUR *zap* pain "How many fingers am I holding up?"
I paused the video. What would I say? Obviously, it's not a trick question, and he's not looking for a truthful answer: reality/truth is irrelevant. So what do you answer the second time? Saying four won't cut it. Do you pick a random number and risk getting zapped a couple more times? What's the point? Who's asking the question and why? My response, after the first time, was: "I don't know, you tell me!" That.. that's the correct response. That's the answer he wants from you. He wants you to comply, to submit to his authority, he wants you to relinquish your own thoughts, ideas and views, and he's gonna be the one to tell you what's what. So the only correct answer is to ask him how many fingers he's holding up, and whatever he tells you, that's the new reality now. The thought police: it's them telling you what/how to think. Don't want to comply? Then there's the pain for you.
Awesome lesson!
I'm so confused 😁😁 I'm stupid ass fuck must be the weed and steroids 👍👍👍
That’s why people need to realize the strength in unity and quit allowing them the upper hand by participating in divisive Religion, Race, Nationalism, and Political affirmation...Then we determine how many fingers are being held up.
@@lew708
Mob mentality is just about is brainless as a faceless authority telling you what to think. If you're going anywhere outside your own head to know what to think then you're not actually thinking.
What if you don't know that he wants you to comply? what if he wanted a real answer? what if he doesn't allow you to answer his question with another question? Sir, if you know people who turture, you know they can be very ruthless.
Rowgue51 Mob mentality has negative associations to it, but if mob mentality fits, then it’s not always bad..I’m talking about a conscious, focused people, wanting the same good for themselves and their fellow human being. Our society is only as great as we allow it to be- Whether it’s good or bad, it’s still a collective mindset.
“I’m gonna have me some fun”
" I SEE YOUUUU..."
Shhhhh, out there. Past the tree's....
Thanks Mac, Anytiime!
Those eyes there... they disappeared
Classic
Everyone knows Bill Duke is a legend but I don’t know he was so profound and analytical about society and man kind.
Sadly there are a lot of celebrities specially actors living this right now. They see 3 fingers
Who else got chills when he started re enacting the scene from 1984?
I'm with mister Duke on this; 1984 was very prescriptive for what was to come. . . .I'm also reminded of one of Orwell's pretty famous quotes "The future looks like a boot stomping on a human face repeatedly."
Whether by pleasure and convenience, or brute force-- the end result will be the same. It *is* the same nowadays.
Example?
You said it all. AI is here, and it will tell you want you should have.
GoreQuill NachoVidal the app you are on.
@@derickshalo384 Such as?
He reminds me of his character Mac in Predator when he reenacts the scene from 1984; a bit crazy but able to see things we can't see.
Mr. Bill Duke, who is among the best and greatest of all time.
_1984 How many fingers am I holding up?
_2018 How man genders am I holding up?
@@rickc2102 Sorry, I don't speak lawnmower.
If you research his stance he is actually speaking of the current administrations ability to pass on alternative facts as truth to its constituents and that they take it as truth without any due diligence or resistance
Und dann Herr Woodall und Herr Kizaru würdt für Herr Trump Stoßtruppen sein.
Steven Verdugo good thing we have the left to counteract the administration with fake news. Trump is saving us from this shit. When he leaves, we’re fucked.
@@stevenverdugo377
No he's not.
Bill Duke reminds me of my grandfather, a man that I loved and respected, pretty much thought he was the wisest and strongest man I ever knew. Bill Duke just makes me choke up, with happiness hearing him speak.
Duke has been awake a long time...and its great to hear him speak...even back in 1976 on the movie Carwash...and yes 1984 is here... Alot of it and they're pushing hard for the rest
What a character, Mr. Bill Duke.
How many of yall remember him when he played in predator?
I have seen this footage 20+ times and I still shed a tear beholding the truth...
.....There..THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS!!!
This is used in Star Trek Next Generations Chain of Command: Part II when Picard is forced to say there are 5 lights when there are only 4 by a Carassian torturer. I did not realize it came from 1984.
1984 is an awesome book and a great movie. The whole concept of rewriting of history on a daily basis ,via the ministry of"truth". The complete abolition of the family replaced by the worship and adoration of big brother. The creation of fictional wars with changing adversaries to keep the population on the edge of starvation and in constant fear. Creating a fictional rebel named Goldberg to ferret out secret rebels in society. It is all brilliant!!
I was on the edge of my seat. If someone would have screamed out "BOO", I would have fallen out of this raggedy chair. Now THAT'S how a story is told. 😲👍👌
Tip to the girl/lady...but probably, "girl", doing the interview: If you know that "1984" is one of his staple literary works he's read, and you know you're going to interview him and ask about why it's so profound in his eyes... READ THE BOOK before you interview him. You could crash read that in 2 days. You would appear much more aware and in tune w/ the interviewee.
CliffHuxtableSweater
But she asked the question about 5 books he would take with him if he was only allowed 5 books. Then she asked about the book 1984 which he included of the 5. How could she read up on the book if she did not know that would be one of the 5?
..................D'oh!!!
Great point my man! However, a little professionalism and giving a damn about your work is FAR to much to ask for these days. It's like people are too busy looking for excuses for why they're totally incompetent at what they do for a living. Take, for example, these two jerk offs who commented before me...finding an excuse for why she could not have read 1984. If you haven't read that book, you're not even well educated enough to be a journalist in America! Get a descent education for crying out loud. Don't just call yourself a journalist when you're not well-read and have gained some life experience. You should not be asking anyone...anything. Any rate, just sit back and watch these degenerates destroy their wicked ass selves. I'm enjoying the show...get yourself some popcorn😉.
Not to mention this is a film channel lol. Should be a mandatory read in story telling
I fully agree with you. As a professional courtesy or to simply be a better journalist than the average slub, read rhe damn book. You might learn something in the process...besides, 1984 is a great book to read.
“What time did u buy the beer” Duke Legend !!
I love Bill Duke....
This dude needs more roles as a villan. He is so damn good
Alternative factsssssssssss
Confused, can u explain
....sssssssssssssss
@@jaybull485 sounds like brain wash u kno damn well he's holding up 4 fingers but pain gives u alternative fact but I maybe wrong
@@jaybull485 a phrase kellyanne conway from the Trump administration came up with when questioned about lies. -Alternative facts-
One of his fingers wasn’t a finger. It was a old dried up crusty twix chocolate. Alternative facts. Very profound.
But you really need to see his rabbit out of his pants trick. Piece of advice, don’t touch the rabbit. It’s dead and it smells like ass. Sometimes he pulls out a dildo instead.
Reread 1984 in the past few months, its mind blowing the parallels and the potential...if not eventual...realities we could see that Orwell wrote about.
Bill Duke is Deep & Enlightened! Peace!
enlightened....if you only knew what's up....
Ilmari Lähde Elaborate
@@DaddySickSounds There's no short way to say this i believe, but those people have taken the left path.
The dark path of ego. They do sacrifices and rituals, darks things, they have lost their sleep because of it.
And i believe they have lost purposefully their "soul" too, as when man does deliberately those evil things, he loses his heart.
And heart is the other way to enlightenment, and i suspect it is the best way, if you do not wan't to suffer in the endless pit of ego who knows how long, never being satisfied and happy with life, and only those very evil things giving them something that they feel "good" about.
And if you follow your heart, that one which tells you by feeling if that what you do, or are about to do, is the right thing, for you and others, will lead to a life that you seek for.
These people want money, "succes" and fame so bad, that they ignore what their heart tries to tell.
I believe heart's way is to surrender to life, and go with hunch, with feeling in the flow of life, it may give you the right kind of life you need. Not necessarily what your ego wan't you to have, although it doesn't hurt too much if don't follow so strictly, as you will see eventually if those things are ridiculous and naive even, what you wanted earlier in life, then you are wiser yes.
So these luciferians also believe that anything you do, is a lesson, so they are relying on that when they sacrifice and rape children's for example, and that you are your true self, and you are the only one to "judge" you in the end.
And it may be true, but they forget something...who says you don't have to pay for it even if some part of you judge...this place is to learn how to love, but sure it is part of this to do dark things and learn that way....but all that you do, has consequences here too.
So, if you do horrible things, you will get horrible life too, and your subconciousness will constantly remind you of what you have done.
That's why they can't sleep, and they all look very ill anyway, mentally and everyway.
And they are revengeful too, which gives them more stupidity to do awful things more, some may blame other for what their life is now, as it wasn't what they expected. Money is very meaningless especially when you have no heart to really enjoy that what you can do with that.
Their understanding of enjoyment is something though, what most would never enjoy. But is it enjoyment, or satisfying some demons in you....if they exist.
If you wan't the whole world, you end up having nothing. But when you are good hearted, and don't want anything, you will end up having everything.
I don't know did this explain much, but i tried.
Peace and Love friend.
We’re already in jail but most can’t see the bars yet.
What hes describing is common core education.
MisEducation
I don't really get this vilification of public education. Students develop a decent understanding of maths, sciences, languages, some hands-on skills such as welding, woodwork, cooking plus team building exercises in an environment where we're encouraged to develop social bonding skills and establish life-long friendships. Sure, there are a number of things pertinent to being an adult which we don't learn at school but I rarely - if ever - experienced anything throughout my school years that in retrospect were indoctrinating falsehoods.
Same people built the schools built the prisons.
@@fongdimbulator kids are raised in a needlessly competitive environment, which often leads to massive amounts of social exclusion, complacency and anxiety over those things.. it teaches u how to b an employee

Sounds like the movie equilibrium starring Christian Bale
1st thing I thought about!
Y W me too
Haven't seen that movie in a long time.I must watch that today.
I swear that that is the samthing I was just thinking. Great movie and true example of the life we are living in this world. That's why it's called history. His story.
what’s the movie called?
that fact that he sounds dehydrated and can tell a story made this interview awesome. classic!!

Jayson William @TheDucciano I’m terribly sorry for the wayward condition you two suffer from. However, I shall take valuable time from another occupying morning of mines to SIMPLIFY a PREVIOUS comment I mentioned. Ok, now pay close attention..
It was only a joke!!!!!
Brother Rodricus I hate to hop in this bro....but it’s mine not mines 😂😂 just kidding just kiddin
TheDucciano as you call people homie lol
@Mike Delacroche nobody thought that would be gay
Just ran across some interviews with Bill Duke & so impressed with him. Only seen some of his acting. (John Hurt). Most powerful part for me in the book "1984" was when the lover screams to torture the other, as final soul crushing moment. Facing your worst fear (rats going to eat your face) and beg the system to torture the one you love the most. After that the system had won & they could release John Hurt back into society.
That reporter did NOT read the book, but she "knows the concept!" Jesus! ... Its 1984 indeed!
I agree 100% with what Mr. Duke is saying. 1984 is a book that I ways encouraged family and friends to read. George Orwell knew what was coming, when he wrote that book.
A great metaphorfor life.
Wow. Great story, even if he was just talking about another movie...it was Captivating #WOW
That sounds like Amerikkkan education on world history in a nutshell.

I NEVER NEW THIS MAN WAS TO BE PROTECTED ❤️🤙🏿🙏🏿
but he really was holding up 3 fingers....just not a total of 3. You can see him holding up 1 finger, 2 fingers, 3 fingers, and 4 fingers. All four answers are facts and alternatives of each other.
It's the total number of fingers, you're overthinking it. If I have three marbles in my hand and I ask you "how many marbles are in my hand?" The answer is three.
BRAVO2I4 he did not ask him for a total number. He asked for A number...
@@allloveable In the marble scenario a total wasn't asked for either but there are still three marbles in the hand.
BRAVO2I4 ...and there is also 1 marble in the hand and 2 marbles in the hand
No. He was holding up how many fingers he tells you he was holding up.
Damn! And to think that I wasn't going to watch this video... Alternative reality equals MEDIA aka BIG BROTHER. This clip alone communicates its idea better than most movies! Captivating.
hey duke, what do the five fingers say to the face???

Yes there are. And people should get it via these videos what's he's telling. They are in deep red waters.

I should've expected this to get political.

Wow. Just wow. This man is awoken.
The way dude talks is great. It's like he's performing as himself, and it's great.
Bill Duke's breakdown of 1984 is scary. How didn't we all see this coming??? God help us!
That scene in 1984 is depressing because we are the future the author predicted. This happens every day of lives. Most people are like sheep, and will do as they are told, no questions asked.
May the most high protect this man. Too much truth is being told
Love Bill Duke what a star there is something about him that's very intreaging.
1984 was a manual . It planted seeds in the minds of everyone that read it . It was institutionalised literally by making it mandatory study for pre teens .
Reasons- in order for a reality to come by tjat is so radical large numbers ( critical mass ) of ppl have to ficus on it with fear or with desire. That number was acheived by making it popular. Law of attraction is used by governments , politicians through media & entertainment . Actors become oscar recipients when they furthering agendas . This man even looks evil.
"Let me get this straight, you bought the bottle of beer around what time?" "You know you done fucked up right?"
There can only ever be one war;
The war waged by the Rulers against their subjects.
I love bill Duke he's a wise man
Bill Duke a real one I grew up with this guy. True King of our time 👑
Wow mind chilling facts and also very true.
You will believe what I tell you to believe,you perspective doesn't matter. Wow!
....I'm pretty sure I just watched a full length drama. Holy shit! This guy is amazing
First thing that came to mind was the first predator movie n him shooting that machine gun buck wild into those trees. That was a classic
STAR TREK TNG: Chain Of commant part II re enacted the scene. That book 1984, was a fantastic classic that inpired maybe the best dramatical episode of TNG.
Love this brotha💪🏾💯✊🏾
Read the book and it does remind me of our current situation. In the end they broke the man’s spirit so that he no longer thought for himself.
The 'finger' analogy was also a point in a 'Star Trek -The Next Generation' plot line. It takes a powerful mind to see the lie that the powers that be want you to see.
3:40-3:47 would make an EXCELLENT gif file.
I said this was my favorite book for years and people called me crazy....I'm in good company
In the words of Kooke "you scared.. you should be.This green beret's going to kick your big ass"
They did somthing like that on Star Trek TNG where Picard gets captured by the Cardasians. Picard gets asked how many lights does he see. There are four lights, but they want him to say there are five.
I felt like any second during that clip a small voice in the background was gonna say “I ain’t got time to bleed” hahaha bill duke my man!
Will the mcu cast this man as a villain he would be awesome.
Legendary!
1984 is one of my favourite too besides Sinuhe the Egyptian.
THERE ARE 4 LIGHTS.
