![Fincher on Fincher - How David Fincher Directs a Movie [The Director’s Chair]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/dljfMoCXnSk/mqdefault.jpg)
He says what’s on his mind quite well; as he stated the ability to articulate. A creative, consummate professional this guy.
he directed Madonna’s Vogue and Oh Father video among other Black and White videos of the Queen of the Universe. Madonna help Fincher started in Film with her connections to Palthrow and Brad Pitt. Palthrow and Madonna are best friends, so she can get Brad on Board his films.
Have to respect the guy. He knows what he wants and understands that he’s making a film. It’s not a day shift at Wendy’s looking to your watch every ten minutes wanting to get home. That kind of outlook is poison to a film set I’d think.
One of the finest directors alive and in fact in the top 5 absolutely without doubt…..keep going Dave…a master at his work.
Fincher is one of the best Directors of our times and my personal favorite, even if you don't like his movies, he always delivers on some aspects you cannot deny
Stop the fanboy crap. Fanboy's who kiss this guy's ass also kiss the ass of Nolan, Paul Thomas Anderson, Aronovksy and Kubrick. The only one on this list should be Kubrick. NOT f'n Fincher, man.
@@hlmitchel I don't really like Nolan, I have barely seen anything from Anderson because his movies don't really get my attention asides from There Will Be Blood and Punch-Drunk-Love, Aronofsky is too harsh for me so I'm saving him for later and Kubrick was an amazing filmmaker but I find him overrated. If you like Kubrick than fine great for you, but Fincher has personal attach for me. Live and let live man
@@mightypr0fessional Fair enough. I stand corrected my friend. What do you think of Steve Mcqueen?
@@hlmitchel if you mean the director he is very talented, 12 Years A Slave is great, Widows is pretty underrated imo and I've been wanting to watch Shame for a while but it's not available on my country, plus I want to watch the small axe series or something like that but it's the same than with Shame it's hard to find them here, and if you mean that Actor than I couldn't tell you, I haven't watched a lot of him besides some that I watched with my dad A LONG LONG time ago
@@mightypr0fessional Yes I meant the artist and director Steve McQueen. He's one of the most talented directors working right now . Fincher is an "A type" person that comes off as a perfectionist. Anyone "obsessive" in any field will produce results. But Fincher is NOT an artist. He's a skilled technician and there's a big difference. I don't even think he writes stories. My personal opinion is all of his obsessions look the same and feel the same. It's just a craft we're witnessing. You can't put this guy alongside McQueen, Scorsese, Kurosawa, Tarkovsky, Kubrick, Niri Bilge Ceylan, Zyagintsev or even Lynne Ramsey. There's Just no comparison. Most of the ones I listed write their own work. Fincher's a populist in with a bleak, dark, green, blue toned approach. They all look like they could be Nine Inch Nail music videos. He feels like Christopher Nolan with a camera. And let's not get started with Tarantino. I'm curious, where are you from?
I love those the suspense he put in movies.
well he directed the gayest music video of all time, so Fincher is a God of film.
Some of the best filmmakers like fincher never went to film school
But he was rich already, so it doesn't matter
@@thenorsepioneer7311 he wasn't. He used to be a waiter. Tarantino wasn't either, nor Nolan
Something tells me there’s no goofing off on Fincher’s set 😂
Definitely won't be fun haha
I don’t know about goofing off but I’ve seen several bts moments of kidding around on his sets. There’s a time and place for all things.
His collaborative process sounds funny...
Well actually - that's only kinda true - but really as long as we did our job and made our day - it was great working on a Fincher set. There were jokes and it was awesome - but we had to never forget that we were also at work and we had to do our job and do our job well to stay employed. I preferred it to some of the more relaxed sets that I've worked on.
Bad ass. Which actor would EVER complain about working with a director like him?
It'd be heaven for me.

I’ve watched the BAFTA interview a few times but I only just caught his use of the word “hymen.”
I love this perv.
These are amazing please continue with more directors! 🙌🏽
David Fincher and on-game Ridley Scott (Alien, Blade Runner, Gladiator, the director's cut of Kingdom of Heaven, etc.) are my all-time favorite directors.
This is just GOLD, thank you
Glad you enjoyed this!
Oh, one of my favourite directors!
A legend :)

No problem, glad you liked it!
He summed it up pretty nicely, thanks :)
Glad it was helpful!
He’s definitely the right man for the job.
❤
Great video!
Thank you!
*_David Fincher style is trying to be Stanley Kubrick. For example, David Fincher once said: "My style is, I made 7 takes, so now let's start"._*
Every filmmaker is inspired by others and stanley is one of the most influential
@@LuisSierra42 David Fincher and Christopher Nolan.
@@leonardodp34 Tarantino and the Coen brothers are also very much influenced by Kubrick
You made me an offer that i can't refuse!
What was Fincher talking about in the beginning when he mentioned FF Coppola, Lucas, and other directors? 0:44
Omnizoatrope??? John Cordy???
Edit
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Zoetrope
Still have no idea who John Cordy is.
Please, enlighten me!!!
❤❤❤❤❤
A true master. DF will go down in history as one of the greatest of his tkmest, if he's not already considered that.
I think he might already be on that list :)
1:49 🔥🔥🔥
The one person who hates David Fincher is the boom mic operator.
So...Fincher’s a leader....I like that....very Kubrick of him 👍
I can't argue with his results, but he sounds like a guy I couldn't work under.
Film making is a director's medium.
he's too smart by half.
Diffuse. Plastic. Hymen.
This shooting strategy saves a lot of time in post and can stop possible reshoots. Studio-produced films anticipate reshoots and it is used as leverage to cheat the producer and director out of their fees. Not with this dude.
Yup he's known as a perfectionist and that's an extremely good quality to have as a director. He will make sure he got it before moving on!
@@AlterCineYT I wouldn't call it perfection just getting actors to give him lots of options from 1 to 10 for each scene so in editing he can take a scene any way it needs to go.
I've seen directors push to get the actors to say the lines exactly like it was written as if the script is perfect. Narrative editors love this kind of director..., but their assistants hate it haha.
@@drknsss17 Also something Fincher said which was fascinating, was that he's actually looking for that small flaw from the actor. After doing the same take 15-20 times, he's looking for something that feels extremely natural for the person to be doing it that way - i.e, leans a certain way when sitting in their couch, that feels like it's their couch. He said that he basically wants strangers to believe in something
@@AlterCineYT Ohh, that part where he said something like going beyond that muscle memory right. That one sticks with me. I'll be trying that, thank you. XD
@@AmirAizudin Yup, actors might not too be thrilled through haha!
Directors that can't write feel the need to compensate, just like certain men feel the need to be unnecessarily aggressive.
Fincher is technically proficient, but he's not an artist. He's an A type, obsessive-compulsive technician.
Its an art to have a feeling for emotion and pictures, not only knowledge
Doing tons of takes to “get your money’s worth” is a bit over the top. If you hire the best actors, they’ll deliver in a few takes. His reasoning is a bit ridiculous. When you micro manage and exhaust actors like that, they tap out and no longer feel like meaningful and original creative contributors. If you have a seasoned pro actor having to do 17-20 takes, you either don’t know what you want, are trying to make a statement as a director or you are purposefully undermining them because you think that somehow translates into “better performances”
