RIAN JOHNSON Screen Talk with Mark Kermode | BFI London Film Festival 2019

- Genre-hopping director Rian Johnson joins us to talk about his acclaimed career and the making of his fifth feature Knives Out: a wickedly witty and stylish murder mystery, which the Maryland-born filmmaker has described as "an attempt to capture the twisty fun of an Agatha Christie whodunit." A graduate of the USC School of Cinematic Arts, Johnson debuted with 2005's Brick, which ingeniously transposed the stylized tropes of Dashiell Hammett's hardboiled detective fiction to a Californian high school setting. Made for just $500,000 and boasting a memorable lead performance by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, this fresh take on neo-noir won the Special Jury Prize for Originality of Vision at Sundance Film Festival.
Three years later, Johnson showed his comedic verve with globe-trotting conman caper The Brothers Bloom, before reuniting with Gordon-Levitt (starring alongside Bruce Willis and Emily Blunt) for 2012's time travelling sci-fi thriller Looper. A critical and commercial hit which further displayed his dazzling command of genre, its success led this most inventive of Hollywood auteurs to both write and direct Star Wars: The Last Jedi. A fearlessly bold continuation of the beloved space opera saga, the latter became the highest grossing film of 2017 and one of the most successful movies of all time.

Knives Out has to be one of the best movies of the year.
Which says more about the rest of the movies this year than about Knives Out...
Little women, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Parasite, Midsommar, The Lighthouse, Portrait of a Lady on Fire, The Irishman, Marriage Story, Light of my Life, Pain and Glory, 1917, Uncut Gems... All these fucking excellent movies came out in 2019. The fact than Knives Out still manages to be one of the best movies in such a great year says a shit ton about the movie
I expect to see the likes of Tarantino, Scorsese, or Bong Joon-ho on a list of the year's best films, but The Lighthouse has been sorely neglected by most critics. I get that it may have polarized certain folk, but I found its subject and characters thoroughly mesmerizing from beginning to end. I don't know that I could say it was especially meaningful - although it does provoke ideas - but as a work of entertainment it triumphed and absolutely made an impact on me, which is largely what I've come to expect of films made nowadays. The above-average quality of its craftsmanship was just a bonus.
@GRÖBNÖB Joker is mediocre at best. The only thing extraordinary thing about it was Phoenix's performance.
I watched Knives Out two nights ago. Great movie. Did I nice spin on the whodunit.
New item in my bucket list: To work with Rian Johnson. I don't know how, but I will.
The more I watch interviews with Rian the more I respect his taking creative risks. Props.
Such as....oh, I don't know, taking a giant shit on the largest movie IP in history? He's a pretentious hack.
@WorldsMostNRJ Aww, it's cute when morons make the stupid argument that you have to be a (insert profession here) to say that someone isn't very good at it. Defend what he did or return your head to it's natural position up your own ass.
@@CG-vn8iy Ironic for a moron to call other people morons
@@MichaelM28 Then why did you do it?
Destroying John Boyega's character was such a brave creative risk.

*Audience bursts into laughter*
@@AJDOLDCHANNELARCHIVE Lol no. He's objectively better then most people. One day you be man enough to accept that.
@@gavinmyatt5589 Give me a break. What do you consider his best work as a director? You can see my list of my top 50 directors here;
www.imdb.com/list/ls062575917/
@@AJDOLDCHANNELARCHIVE MY DUDE this is one of the saddest lists of great film directors I think I have ever seen! Mel Gibson over Tarantino? Woo over Nolan? Sidney Lumet before Ang lee? SYLVESTER STALLONE over fucking Alfred Hitchcock??? There's not even a single woman on this god-awful list. You absolute boink of a human being.
@baole58 Let's see yours then mate, feel free to even just shoot off your top 15.
IMDB is hard to structure/arrange numerically, so it's not really a strict tiered list. Emmerich's "The Patriot" is a film I enjoy more than any Kurosawa, Fincher, or Hitchcock film, even if I acknowledge he is not as good a director. It's my subjective list.
For me the best director working today
You've gotta be having a laugh? The guy is mediocre beyond belief.
Honestly I agree, if we’re not including people like Scorsese and Tarantino who’ve been at it for decades.
Top 3 for me.
Denis Villeneuve, Edgar Wright and Rian Johnson (no particular order)
I love every single one of his films. The way he constructs his films is what I like out of a film. And Fly is the best episode of Breaking Bad imo.
Believe it or not. He has in fact made other films other than the best Star Wars film (The Last Jedi)
WhiteWolf496 Denis Villeneuve directed Blade Runner 2049, right? Completely agree with Edgar Wright and Rian Johnson though.
@Aru Gula ok. Go learn filmmaking.
I love you Rian.
Oh, that like/dislike bar?
Seems a lot of people here never left Tatooine.
Rian is soooooooooo cute and good calm energy
Can't believe these comments. "Destroyed the franchise". Just because he took a direction you don't like.
Come back in 10 years.
He took it in a bad direction
Never take RUclips comments seriously. EVER.
Adding another billion dollars to a multi billion dollar franchise = DESTROYED
kevin keohan TFA was okay, but it took a major step down after Rian did his thing, but to be fair, at least he did a better job than Jar Jar Abrams on Rise of Skywalker 🤦♂️
HEY
I TAKE OFFENCE AT THE NERD THING
I CONSIDER MYSELF A NERD AND LOVE THE LAST JEDI
come at me salty haters.
TLJ always! ❤️❤️❤️
PolarPhantom Hated TLJ, but loved knives out. Glad you liked TLJ, wish I could say the same.
@@dabearslive9605 I think allot of people take Star Wars personally to the point that everything that doesn't fit it's tone is unacceptable. I don't want to be bothersome but you should give a try watching the over one hour long making of and then maybe the movie again. And maybe don't take your personal feelings towards Star Wars to it, but rather try to be the characters and understand them and their situations. Maybe you'll change your mind about it, because let's be real, the movie is valid. Oh well anyways. Glad you're not one of those who hates his other movies just for the sake of it. Knives Out is awesome!
Yeah i really enjoyed seeing Luke dying at the end, or discovering Reys parents were totally insignificant lol
@@thomasrosendahl2783 It is almost that the goddam point
I simply cannot understand how you can blame Rian about the fall of Star Wars. It makes more sense to blame it on the producers of Disney who had no clue how to make a coherent trilogy.
The fandom is a bunch of numb skulls.
Awesome movie! Hope to see more like it soon!
Knives Out was really good. I'm a HUGE Agathy fan and of who-done-it films. Poirot is my all time favorite.
Rian Johnson, Rian Johnson..... *shaking my head* what have we been through?!
It's a relief to see you talking like a normal guy. I'll keep watching your stuff.
This dude saved Star Wars. There I said it. Let the hate comments come rolling in
Lol. No hate, just amusement. Numbers don't lie.
Erick Machuca LMFAO there’s no way this guy can be serious, is there? I really hope not. How does anyone unironically say that pile of absolute trash saved Star Wars and not wanna jump off a cliff right after? LMAO I really hope this guy is joking, if not, HOLY SHIT god bless his fucking damaged soul.
lucky4696 Thanks for your fundamentally dumb concern. She / He has probably jumped off a cliff, already. TLJ is the best SW Film since Empire. You can have your opinion. I can have mine. But, the special thing is. I don’t want you to jump off a cliff if you disagree with me! :)
God bless YOU.
If by "saved Star Wars" you mean put it on life support and completely decimated every revenue stream for the franchise that ran for 40+ years without issue, then sure.
Why are y'all booing him? He's right. I love The Force Awakens dearly but by the time Rogue One-a movie which had value *only* because of previous Star Wars movies-rolled around I was already getting tired of the nostalgia fest. The Last Jedi shook up the Star Wars formula, brought cinematic artistry to Star Wars, gave each character interesting and clearly defined arcs, *finally* introduced new thematic elements to Star Wars, and drove us away from the mediocre path that J.J. Abrams set us on. Hell, if you told me before I saw the movie that they would not only manage to give Luke Skywalker another arc, but also give him his best arc over the entire saga, I would call you crazy, but Rian did it. This dude saved Star Wars for me.
Loved this interview and looking forward to Knives Out.
Knives are still in with Star Wars though ..
Matt K LoL, no
apparently you don't give a shit about Star Wars
Hired Goonage ITS A DIFFERENT MOVIE
Oh Rian Johnson......
walrus alien milk Johnson.....
porgy bird Johnson....
I liked the last Jedi.
*** just saying my favorite era is prequel/clone Wars. I grew up on original and i get to watch the ST with my 6 year old son.
For Star Wars being just a sci-fi movie, whoever is involved with it seems profoundly impacted both "+"s and "-"s. Rian will be no exception.
Star Wars is not "just a sci-fi movie"... it's a condensing of all the timeless and vital themes from before recorded history, distilled into a package that can easily be enjoyed as entertainment by modern peoples, whilst still influencing them positively on a subconscious level.
Star Wars, as created by George Lucas, was always designed to be a tool of teaching and inspiration, something Rian Johnson obviously hasn't got the faintest idea about.
@@AJDOLDCHANNELARCHIVE You're literally just describing what most fiction tries to do as being unique to Star Wars lol
@@GiantSandles Show me another franchise (barring perhaps The Lord of the Rings) that achieved it to the level Star Wars did?
Star Wars has it all, spirituality, philosophy, metaphysics, virtue/ethics, courage, hope, optimism, rebellion against corruption, the battle of good vs evil within and externally... no other work of fiction has condensed everything that it means to be human as concisely and successfully as George Lucas' Star Wars.
@@AJDOLDCHANNELARCHIVE So Star Wars and Lord of the Rings are the absolute peak of all fiction to you?
@@GiantSandles In many respects, yes. Up there with Homer's Illiad in my books, and in many ways (depth and breadth of world building namely) superior.
Rian Johnson is really too nice of a person to be involved in the movie industry.
Erick Machuca
Says you.
@Erick Machuca Another profession? Maybe he should become a sportsman?
@Erick Machuca Personally, I hated the last Jedi but think this film is great (Looper too). I think he just did a bad job with Star Wars because of its awful business model.
Tavell Clinton Maybe he should, I’m sure he would be better at that than directing once legendary movies

Rian is an absolute treasure. It's a crime if his Star Wars trilogy doesn't happen
John Boyega disagrees
@@georgegrogee5991 if he wants to stay mad at the only movie where he doesn't scream "REEEEEYYYYYY" that's upto him
@@Testtube27 Boyega has detailed at length his complaints with RJ's handling of his character in a 2019 interview with Hyperbeast and one in 2020 with GQ.
Trivialising his testimony is pretty racist of you.
@@georgegrogee5991 if John Boyega thinks the only film in the trilogy they gives him an arc is racist then that's his opinion.
I respectfully disagree wholeheartedly
@@Testtube27 Boyega said his character was given a fantastic introduction in TFA. I agree. Why are you ignoring that? A Force sensitive, disillusioned stormtrooper who helps a rebel escape purely for selfish reasons, who then tricks a young woman into thinking he's a rebel just so he can get farther away from the new order (more selfishness), who then admits to his lies and prepares to leave her, but when she is captured by the new order and he see the destructiveness of SKB he abandones his plans and goes all in to help the rebels and get his friend back, even attacking a Sith lord and being seriously injured. Finn overcame his selfishness, indifference, and cowardice and helped rescue Rey and destroyed the new order's super weapon. Excellent stuff.
TLJ reintroduced Finn by making a joke of his injury: the leaky bag.
What was the arc you insist Finn had in the TLJ that Boyega doesn't see?
This is awesome.
19:28 which scene did he show
@Aru Gula what the hell are you talking about? XD
Probably the Holdo lightspeed scene
@@jnlcast_ Yeah pretty sure its that one, its the single most epic scene since the Matrix.
@@freem8son86 Lol. People like that are shockingly stupid.
@Aru Gula are u a rightwinger?

Round
At this point, Rian Johnson should just make his own original movies. There are other people who can do franchise movies. Don’t get me wrong - his Star Wars movie was alright but he is too good to spent so much of his time on franchise films whose format is more like a TV show than cinema.
@Kevin Sims you know nothing about cinema let alone rian Johnson's films. You've obviously only seen last Jedi and are crying in the RUclips comment section because he did something you didn't like in a movie about space wizards. Maybe educate yourself before you make a fool of yourself next time
Oh my god so many butthurt star wars fanboys in the comments. Just move on will you.
Brick is a better movie than any Star Wars film which honestly is just a more mainstream space version of The Hidden Fortress which is a way better movie.
Wrong. "The Last Jedi" stinks, and Rian Johnson ruined _Star Wars_ , which was great and could've gotten even greater.
No - Rian Johnson seems like a genuinely delightful man, and his comments are refreshing and insightful.
But - people can express their own opinions without resorting to fanboy nonsense, or calling people "butthurt".
The Last Jedi was tonally a very odd film, making huge narrative decisions that would have been better served earlier in the franchise, not so late in the game.
Neither The Hidden Fortress, nor Brick are better films than Star Wars, they are just different.
Johnson should have been given one of the standalone films. Not one of the saga films. He’s even on record saying he likes to make films that divide audiences. He is not a franchise filmmaker. And he is definitely not a fit for Star Wars.
If the CNET article is to be believed, his Star Wars trilogy will not be happening. And I hope that that is true. What he did with Luke Skywalker is unforgivable.
@@georgeofhamilton Considering how shit the fans' rewrites of the film were, I'd say that TLJ was infinitely better than what we could've gotten.
Speaking of Akira Kurosawa, I love how The Last Jedi takes the Kurosawa inspiration and just adds even more in basically making a Ikiru/Ran mashup (with a pinch of Rashomon) which is kinda genius when you think about how it was always going to deal with the aging classic characters cause if Star Wars is based on Kurosawa, why not use the films dealing with the aging characters.
I particularly love how in Luke's death scene it's basically the final shot of Ran with the sunseting with the blind man left alone on the cliff, but with the optimism of the final shot of Ikiru as he now can see better than even in a metaphorical sense and if filled with peace and accomplishment as he dies. Then also throwing some true Star Wars love in there with the twin suns
Also for anyone who says it ruin Luke Skywalker this is how I feel:
What they did with Luke in TLJ is far more inspirational to me than any perfect legend could have been. I have me own personal struggles that I won't go into detail on, but often it feels like I'm hopeless, life is hopeless, I'm a mess and there's nothing I can do about it. Luke is favourite Star Wars character and to see him fall into a similar state as me helps me because it says, hey you aren't that pathetic for being and feeling this way, even heroes as great as Luke Skywalker can fall this low. What's even more inspirational is that at the end he finds new hope in himself and the galaxy at large and sacrifices himself in order to preserve hope for the future and inspire the galaxy. This says that no matter how low you feel, how far you have fallen, there's hope for you yet.
The Last Jedi did not ruin Star Wars. The Force Awakens did. You know a franchise is in deep shit when they have to completely rehash an old film, live entirely on fan service and reinstitate the very same evil organization that had been defeated in the previous film. They had the chance to create a new and original legacy for the universe. They gave up before they even started.
You ruined star wars
Butthurt fanboys who just can't move on will forever saturate comments sections of videos with Rian Johnson with hate. How sad.
He saved star wars

Digital Garden, You're a jerk of a person.
@@mattk5020 are you in charge of Rians security?
Keep seeing you on here.......
"Internet beefing"
Calm down and get schwifty.
You realise he's been really defensive of the Star Wars fanbase lately saying even the people who dislike The Last Jedi are really lovely and it's just a rude and load minority that create a bad stigma of a toxic fanbase which he actually feels is inaccurate. Or do you only read bias articles that depict statements intended for specific types of fans as attacks on the people who disliked the movie as a whole?
In the battle of Crait, Rey shot down as many TIE Fighters with a single shot (3) as Din Djarin shot down in 16 episodes of the Mandalorian. RJ is the best writer.
What? I don’t hate Rian Johnson but how many tie fighters a writer destroyed, if anything devalues their work. The mandalorian fights are more tense because Din isn’t infalliable
@@ilikerice5208 it's not just shooting down enormous numbers of TIE fighters scenes RJ creates so brilliantly; in the Battle of Crait there were a lot more Imperial Walkers than there were in the Battle of Hoth in The Empire Strikes Back. But RJ's creative brilliance didn't end there, his Imperial Walkers were BIGGER.
@@georgegrogee5991 ...Im so stupid
@You tuber
"In Return of the Jedi, Luke's plan was a massive holocaust of bad decisions that could have ended had Jabba just cut off their heads rather than feed them to a pit, and put r2 somewhere else so Luke couldn't grab his saber. Thank god, Jabba had to be an idiot to let Luke beat him and make thousands of irrational decisions. "
That's probably what inspired RJ. If Holdo had just told her plan to the rebellion hero who had destroyed SKB only a few days earlier he wouldn't have colluded in events that led to members of the resistance delivering a man to the First Order who told them what Holdo's plan was!!!!

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Rian Johnson the Foolish?
I thought not. It's not a story the Disney marketers would tell you. It's a Stupid Legend. Rian Johnson the Foolish was a Director, so powerful and so foolish he could use his authority to create plot holes... He lacked such knowledge of the Source, he could even move characters from one side of the room to another in the blink of an eye.
The Fool's Side of Directing is a pathway to many stories some would consider... unnatural. He became so powerful... that the only thing he was afraid of was the fans not liking his movie; which eventually, of course, they did not. Unfortunately, he created such a mess that Jar Jar Abrams had to return to make the ninth episode.
Ironic. He could create a beautiful movie, but not a good one.

"Fearlessly bold" is a rather diplomatic way of saying "tactlessly divisive"
@You tuber A New Hope was fearlessly bold. The Last Jedi attempted to dismantle and supplant it, almost treated it like firewood... Are you sure you're comfortable where your National Socialist analogy is taking you
the whole format of the movie's been borrowed from other movies. ideas have been borrowed. but then again, that's what they all do. very rarely do we see a true genius anyway. a genius doesn't even have to borrow or steal.

I don't think this guy could ever look George Lucas in the eyes after what he did to his baby and life's work that was the 40 years in the making Star Wars saga story.... say what you want about J.J Abrams' rather derivative "The Force Awakens", but at least it had restraint and respect for the world Lucas created.
This guy is just an absolute arrogant egomaniac with either complete contempt for, or ignorance of every value that George Lucas created Star Wars to represent and impart.
AJD OLD CHANNEL ARCHIVE I think he approached a huge, gigantic franchise with massive expectations like anybody else would, and realized while making it that it isn’t the kind of film he wants to make. Yeah, it suffered because of the writing, but he’s not a terrible person. It could have happened to anyone.
Btw, George Lucas did it first with the prequels, and got twice has much hate for it.
Star Wars is a film based off campy Flash Gordan serials. Its fine to love it, but worshiping it like it’s the Koran, and treating another human being like he committed a second 9/11 is way too much imo.

@@molodezhnaja Everything to do with the Force and the Jedi in "The Last Jedi" is a complete reversal of everything George Lucas created Star Wars to represent. I come from the same background of interests as George Lucas (Taoism, metaphysics, qi energy, Western and Eastern spirituality, philosophy, and mythology, the works of Carlos Castaneda, Joseph Campbell, Carl Jung etc...), and I can flat out tell you Rian Johnson either doesn't know a thing about Star Wars, or he intentionally set out to deconstruct and subvert it.
