WTF Happened to EDWARD NORTON?

- Опубликовано: 28 июн 2024
- Love him or hate him, there are very few actors out there as consistently great as Edward Norton. From his first, explosive starring role in Primal Fear (opposite Richard Gere) through co-starring parts in The People Vs Larry Flynt and more, Norton became one of the hottest stars of the nineties in pretty short order. Within two years of his debut, he was leading American History X, in a performance that drew raves but also revealed the extent of his demand for control behind the scenes, with him infamously feuding with director Tony Kaye.
Nevertheless, his career went from strength to strength for years, with iconic parts in Fight Club, The 25th Hour and more. He was even The Incredible Hulk, but he lost out on the role in The Avengers, once again, due to the difficult label. So WTF Happened to Edward Norton? We go deep into his career in this episode of WTF Happened to This Celebrity, digging into the high points of his career, as well as some of his drier periods. Through it all through, one thing is clear - Edward Norton is absolutely brilliant and really cares about his craft, and if that fact earns him the “difficult” label, so be it. We here at JoBlo are serious fans, as you’ll see here!

One of my all time favorite actors, I really don’t think this dude gets the recognition he deserves. Such a passionate actor with unlimited range.
I'm right there with you. Usually when an actor has a reputation for being "hard to work with" it can turn me off to them, I don't have a lot of patience with super successful professionals abusing their coworkers. That being said, how come Christian Bale and Daniel Day-Lewis don't get flack for being asses on set? Christian Bale is a straight up asshole (made apparent also by the recording of him chewing out a sound guy like he insulted his mom or some shit.) But Ed Norton has gotten serious backlash for his "reputation" even though when he put his foot down with a director (American History X,) his vision was universally vindicated. 🤷
I agree with you. I think to many people fixate on whether or not he’s difficult to work with when they should be paying way more attention to just what a superb actor he is. Unlike so many others in movies he isn’t the same in every film. He actually acts and has range and makes each character he portrays different from all others he has previously done. That’s more rare than you think. As an example there is another actor who I enjoy seeing in films but not for his acting prowess who is basically himself in every role and that’s Ryan Reynolds. He just doesn’t have the range that Edward Norton has and that’s ok because when I go see one of his films I know what to expect. In all honesty though I have more respect for Edward Norton than I do for a lot of actors because of his range and passion for his craft/art. I would go so far as to say that the films he’s been in that didn’t do so well at the box office didn’t fail because of Edward Norton but for other reasons. In another 10-20 years we will look back at his body of work and will definitely be impressed. It’s just sad that he isn’t appreciated as much as he should be right now.
Cheers
Well said pall ! Hes never had the recognition he deserves !
He became a cry baby
doesnt get the recognition he deserves? did you not watch the video - hes literally had a long, consistently good career filled with awards and accolades. he got nominated for an oscar in his first ever film. in what universe does he not get the recognition he deserves?
Shame that "Incredible Hulk" didn't really work out for him, but "Primal Fear", "American History X" and "Fight Club" proved how versatile he was, and he was willing to go to extreme measures for his work.
Yeah, he somehow has the dichotomy of being a very well known actor, that many know at least by face, but also a very underrated and low profile one. Haven’t seen him used to his full capacity like what he was doing in the 90s and early 2000s in a while.
actually, Incredible Hulk is the most rewatchable movie of the early Marvel movies. It can easily exist as an stand alone without relying on other films.
John carradine was in of human hearts 1939 with Walter Huston James Stewart shock waves 1977 with Peter Cushing
To this day, I like Norton's Hulk more than the current Hulk he was just a savage angry beast that smashed everything and even his design showed that
I even loved him in Death to Smoochy
One of my favorite actors! He’s great in every role he’s in.
Fight Club Is No Doubt One Of, If Not His Greatest Roles.
@@doctordoom7103 Agreed, Fight Club and Birdman are one of his best performances
Let's not forget American History X, breathtaking!
And I even loved Collateral Beauty... no matter how much shade they throw!
While I love Ruffalo as hulk, it's a shame Norton didn't continue the role. He's my favorite
"Primal Fear" from 1996 with Richard gere is an amazing movie and I cant believe it was his first role and was a really great performance with a phenomenal twist
I agree. I didn’t see it coming.
Not being a Gere fan, Norton made that a really good movie!
So true. I just watched it again recently for the first time since it came out and had totally forgotten "the twist". Such a great movie.
okay, ill find that in Netflix later, thanks.
@@eduardochavacano While not a truly “Great” movie, it is worth watching just for Norton!
I’m honestly very shocked that there was not a single mention of any controversy, embarrassments, scandals, drug or alcohol abuse or addiction or personal problems. This is frankly extraordinary for an actual hollywood superstar
And his live-in girlfriend of many years was Courtney Love; has to be some interesting stories there!
@@ScottyColoradoKidHIS GIRLF4I3ND WAS COURTNEY LOVE WHAY???? AHHHHH IM GOIJG INSANE BOUNCJNG OFF THE FCKING WALLS RN ARE U FR?? 😭🙏🙏🙏

@@MyIneffablePonyyy you know what would be really exciting? if you never posted on the internet ever again...the entirety of the internet. Matter of fact...don't even keep a physical journal...
The mirrior monologue in 25th Hour is one of my favorite scenes of his.
John carradine was in house of long shadows 1983 with Vincent price Peter Cushing sir Christopher Lee
Boom, his best film
Hell yeah! Such an underrated film
Fight Club has some of the best editing I've ever seen in a film. I've watched the movie at least 50 times and I still notice little details I didn't see before
Everything about it is great, the storytelling was top notch. Editing kept the atmosphere dark and edgy.
its one of the rare occassions the director and writers have more talent and vision than the author of the book they based their film on.
@@Vihara2 I would heavily disagree with you
@@SaroShow The author himself said the screen version was more than he could have dreamed of.
@@violetviolet888 that doesn't mean it's better
Whenever Ed Norton sports a goatee you know his characters gonna be a badass.
Like a silent film villain..
Dude is a heavyweight, i could defs see him making a comeback after he ages into some more roles
He'll Keanu Reeves us some day
He has been in some great movies one of them guys very few in hollywood who gives a sh!t about his craft/art-form he still taking on projects just not as often
Well, he was in Birdman and the Grand Budapest Hotel, two of the greatest movies of the last decades, on an artistic level he is doing very well. He also directed a passion project of his in 2019 and has been in every Wes Anderson's movie since 2011. He isn't in Marvel movies or on Jimmy Fallon every 6 months, but I don't think he wants that kind of things anyway.
Also, since he became more selective and only worked with directors he deeply respects, there doesn't seem to be nearly as much drama on set.
Comeback? He’s never gone away.
I expected more flops in this but he really has consistently been in good movies.
"Italian Job" & "The score" some of the most enjoyable underrated heist movies of the 2000s
Don't forget "Heist" with Gene Hackman, Danny Devito and Delroy Lindo. But I think even that one falls behind "The Score".
Lol it was until you realize it was the most extra car commercial the Italian job i mean, though it was good
The Score was great, The Italian Job sucked.
@@brianp6965 Yeah” Heist” is an enjoyable forgotten heist film. True not as good as The Score but way better than the Italian Job.
John carradine was The sentinel 1977 with burgess Meredith Jose ferrer eli Wallach Martin balsam Arthur Kennedy the house of seven corpses 1974 with John Ireland
You know ,I really liked him as the Incredible Hulk.
Underappreciated hulk movie.
John carradine was in The shootist 1976 was John Wayne‘s last movie featuring James Stewart Richard Boone
John carradine was in Johnny guitar 1954 with ward bond Royal dano ernest Borgnine
Yes, he was great in Hulk, really loved that Hulk.
Norton's hulk is the actual rage monster we all wanted, not the pussy one we got in infinity war/End Game -_-
The painted veil is my favorite Edward Norton film. I love its simplicity and lonely tone.
The book is amazing too. :)
oh it's one of my favourites too!!!!
I love this series. The narrator is always playing for laughs but you can tell he totally respects the subjects.
Very true. Thanks so much for watching!
I enjoyed his performances in American History X, Fight Club, Red Dragon and especially The Incredible Hulk. He is easily the best Bruce Banner actor. I hate what MCU did to my boy.
Ed fucked himself out of the MCU, so blame him.
John carradine was in stagecoach 1939 with John Wayne Thomas Mitchell directed by John Ford the grapes of wrath 1940 with Henry Fonda John qualen ward bond oz whitehead Russell Simpson
@@RSpracticalshooting Nah, he dodged a bullet there. The MCU is trash, makes caricatures of its actors, and you know it. At least he won't have to be The Incredible Hulk for the rest of his life...unlike some people who's never known for anything else other than their costumes...embarrassing.
@@RSpracticalshooting I wouldn’t say he screwed himself. He was never the kind to be under total control of a studio, so he knew it would be miserable
@@RSpracticalshooting agreed he is one of my favorite actors but if you have some one undermining you authority they got to go i dont care how good they are
Ed Norton was a legend in the mid to late 90’s/early 2000’s. American History X was an amazing performance.
i discovered American History x and fight club just in recent years. He is indeed legendary.
I hadn’t even heard of him until my son introduced me to his work in American History X. I wasn’t certain what to think of him though until I saw him in a few more films. At that point I knew I would be watching everything he is in and so far he hasn’t disappointed me.
give him an Oscar already
More deserving than the one who just won one.
Wrong colour

Edward Norton is in TOP5 of best actors of all time ever!
Everyone is always going on about fight club and American history X. Those are obiviously great, but one absolute gem gets often forgotten and that is the 25th hour. To me propably his best film or in the shared top 3 for sure.
I always forget about that film for some reason, so well cast and edited.
I thought it was cheesy
yessss ! thank youuuu ! ❤️
His monologue in the mirror is dope as f.
The WTF Happened series is a gem on RUclips. Never stop JoBlo
Thank you so much! That really means a lot.

💯💯💰
@@taylorjamesjohnson8326 can you do Sharon stone?
@@USA-qm2bk great idea! adding her to the list now. thanks!
The biggest what if for me is Edward Norton's Hulk trilogy that he planned to do
Yeah....
John carradine was in black sleep 1956 with Lon Chaney jr basil rathbone bela lugosi last movie
Yep. The incredible hulk was actually pretty good. I know it underperformed but they should've made more to flesh out his version.
John carradine was in the man who shot liberty valance 1962 with John Wayne lee Marvin. James Stewart lee van cleef Andy Devine directed by John Ford
John carradine was in the Ten Commandments 1956 with charlton Heston Edward g Robinson Vincent price yul brynner sir Cedric hardwicke Clint walker Cecil B DeMille last movie
Edward Norton is that artistic genius that I probably wouldn't want to have a beer with. He's a great actor.
Why not? Thrown off the boat is the best thing to happen to curious mind.
@@aigarsmacins5752 hes a bad ass actor but he doesn't seem super likeable to me. I obviously don't know the guy so I have NO idea, but he seems like the kind of guy I'd se at a restaurant but would tell me to fuck off if my kid asked for an autograph because he's hungry.
@@jevinday Not at all, he’s very humble and polite in real life. A friend of mine has met him and has a picture of them. She said he’s like everyone said Paul Walker was.
@@lexuses3942 that's pretty cool
I love how he never fails to call Roger Ebert the "guy with the thumbs"
Hahaha! Thanks for noticing!
This guy is an incredible actor. He did a lot of great work from the late 90's to early 2000's but for about the last decade I've barely seen him anything. Evidently the older he got the more of a headcase he became. I'd love to see him make a comeback!
Does he not do more directing & producing now?
i thoroughly enjoyed The Incredible Hulk. he gave Bruce Banner more depth than Mark Ruffalo's background character version.
i personally think that's why Marvel scrapped the Hulk sequel plans because they and Ruffalo did a great job of making Banner one dimensional that it's hard to expand on that, even though his intelligence is the only one to match Tony Stark's.
More to do with the rights to standalone Hulk movies than Ruffalo’s range as an actor.
Mark Ruffalo is great but i think it has more to do with the way Disney treats the characters. They watered down every one they've put their hands on.
Incredible to see that his first role was Primal Fear. A great start to a stellar career.
I think the one thing that summarized Ed Norton for me was an early profile in the Washington Post when his directorial debut Keeping the Faith was about to be released. A high school friend was quoted as saying that Norton had learned fluent Japanese in a year in order to impress a girl. The two lessons one could glean about him from that were that he was smart enough and dedicated enough to do that but also wanted people to know that he was smart enough and dedicated enough to do that. Even if his ego has sometimes gotten in the way, he is a better than average person when it comes to the self-awareness of his foibles and talents and place in the world. He has stuck to his guns even when it cost him. He is probably still the most talented actor of his generation. To paraphrase Pauline Kael regarding Orson Welles, he had such enormous latent talent that he could take material that was beneath him, perform it in such a way that everyone knew he regarded it as beneath him, and still do a better job than everyone else he was working with. If you catch him in a bad interview, it's probably because he's overthinking all the possible implications of everything he says and is trying to do threat modeling in his head while being conversational.
Anyone who tries to claim that they learned Japanese in a year is just straight up lying… even for a savant it’s literally the most difficult language to learn. People study for years and still can’t pronounce it right Bc they didn’t speak it from birth. The worlds most difficult language and bro learned it in a year? Yeah right lol let’s quiz him
@@kateapple1 he probably did pretty well convincing them at least XD
@@kateapple1 Lol, Japanese is not the world's most difficult language to learn. It's actually one of the easier languages to pronounce because it's pronunciation structure is so rigid. Also, fluent doesn't mean perfect, it means able to converse and use the language without stopping to look things up.
@@kateapple1 Idk, he’s pretty intelligent 🤔 Possibly
@@kateapple1 learning is not the same as being proficient in it. He would probably know the basics.
I love Edward Norton and I watch everything he's in.
Fight Club is my all time favourite film, I remember renting it from a video shop not really knowing what it was, it's fair to say it totally blew me away, think I watched it 5 times before having to return the vhs a few days later.
I was only 10 or 11 when it came out, but I do miss stumbling on a video at a rental place and falling in love with it and watching it multiple times in the few days you had it.
mine too
Imagine Norton's Hulk appearing in Spider-Man No way home
That shit show of a movie doesn´t deserve to have Ed Norton.
@@mafeuk it wasn’t bad it was okay like homecoming the story was pretty good and different it just feel as Spider-Man as the other Spider-Man story where.
@@jackmarshall3255 Shitcoming is one of the worst superhero movies I have ever watched.
@@mafeuk I mean there are worst superhero films I would of give homecoming 5 out of 10 and far from home a 7 out of 10 not great but good.
@@jackmarshall3255 I disagree. I hate Spider-Man's characterization in the MCU movies and I can't stand T. Holland as an actor.
Little Eddy (as his grandfather would refer to him as) and I went to the same high school in Columbia, Maryland. I also was the chauffeur for his mother, and grandparents. His grandfather, James Rouse, was an innovative developer that created the idea of indoor malls. Ed came from wealth, but never showed it off growing up. Respect ✊
Really? That's amazing !
@@grec. yes. It is kinda cool having that as a taking point at parties. I have about 20 other stories related to this as well. It was quite the time in my life being a chauffeur for his family.
@@gasolinewine801 oh, wow, amazing!
How are his relatives like?
@@grec. they were extremely nice. Wonderful people. I enjoyed working for them. 😊
Well... nepotism at it's finest one could say
I appreciate Edward for being a voice for the integrity of a project, which makes one "difficult to work with" to studios (note fellow actors/crew aren't saying such about him). Studios want $ not art. Props to him for staying true to his vision. Fight Club is one of the all time greats imo and he is driving the whole time with ease and flair. Glad he declined to be owned, he is most potent in character acting anyway, imo. Thanks for another good one! 😉👌
Edward Norton’s wife Shauna Robertson produced Superbad, Knocked Up, and Pineapple Express so I guess that’s how Seth Rogen got him for Sausage Party.
I watched Death to Smoochy sooooo many times in college. I can probably still quote it line for line
”Quirky nerd / scary badass” is so apt! He is such a versatile actor. I do miss seeing him onscreen.
Don’t sleep on “25th Hour” it’s outstanding. I need to watch it again.
Can’t believe you spoke about fight club without mentioning it’s where the sound bite comes from at the beginning of every single joblo video.
Water is wet. This is a movie channel , why state the obvious ? Oh, you want validation. This is about Norton , not the intro of the YT channel
John carradine was hell bloody devils 1970 with Broderick Crawford
@@nicolamcguinness8689 what ??
He nails every role he plays. He's one of my favourite actors.
"Rounders" from 1998 is probably the most fun and best poker movie ever made and he did a great performance with Matt Damon & John Turturro
I guess the sayings' true. In the poker game of life, women are the rake man. -

John carradine was in captive wild women 1943 with mliburn stone Paul fix lioyd corrgain
@@nicolamcguinness8689 This was John Carradine's first leading role on screen, filmed from December 10-31, 1942. Release took place July 2, 1943.
An elite actor with insane levels of talent, able to change mannerisms, facial expressions, posture, accents, and express a range of emotions with just his eyes. Considering his quirky looks the camera loves him and he has immense screen presence. He is such a powerful actor with an incredible resume that his awkward working status should be tolerated, geniuses aren't awash in Hollywood and movies that knock your socks off is certainly worth humouring the Ed Norton's of this world.
I saw The French Dispatch only yesterday, and yes it is the most Wes Anderson thing that ever Wes Andersoned.
Absolute killer list of movies. Death To Smoochie and Rounders have been personal favs since they came out. How did Death to Smoochie not do better, Robin Williams alone is S Tier quality content.
Williams rants in that movie still stick in my head to this day.
Nothing has "HAPPENED" to him.
I just watched him in a film on tele called MOTHERLESS BROOKLYN.
He is brilliant in it.
As I read recently, he produces and directs a lot of films.
Have you actually listened to the video?
@@dabanyas the video isnt 100 accurate
@@peo4989 What do you mean?
I think he should concentrate on producing and directing even if he has a part in the film. By doing that he ensures he has control over the entire process from beginning to end. I would like to see in a few years after he has a few films to his credit that he at least directed and acted in what those films look like whether or not they make a lot of money. I want to see if him being in control of everything makes for a good film. Something tells me those films will be great and will probably become classics. That should tell you my opinion of him as an actor and as a director.
Edward Norton is so great at what he does that even playing the role of King Baldwin IV in which he never takes off the mask he captivates the audience. His part in that film is actually some of the best acting in the entire film lol.
I really enjoyed Norton's portrayal of Hulk, perhaps because the actor probably suffers from a plethora of undiagnosed mental issues and whose neurotic quirks border on total - psychosis. That kind of psychological detail and especially with his prior roles made him perfect for a character with two very different selves, and an anger problem. He was compelling in the role.
I really dig Ruffalo as an actor in general, but never thought he was all that "fun" as Hulk. Ruffalo always seems to come across as someone who is trying to pass a kidney stone in every scene. I get that he's ashamed and a bit embarrassed by his "urges" but his reserved demeanor is just too subtle and obsequious in nature to be all that interesting.
Well said
Spot on for both actors!! 💯%agree.
Good use of obsequious in a sentence. lol The thing I would add about Ruffalo is he comes across as desperate for work. Almost like he might at any moment be fired and replaced lol. It wasn’t until he had a few films under his belt that he kind of loosened up and stopped being so desperate and started to do better acting. I don’t remember the title of the film but his role as the whistleblower against Dupont Chemical was incredible. Even the actual man that he portrayed and his wife said he did a good job.
Not sure why this is a "What Happened To..." video since he's still working and one of the best actors of all time.
Thank you so much I've been waiting for one on Edward Norton
Great content Joe. Always great to watch.
I've been waiting for this one.
Im extremely happy that Edward Norton got his way with American History X. I don't think it would on of my favorite films ever if he didn't.
Yeah, the only film I know of that actually explores the psychology of white supremacy and treats one as a human capable of redemption rather than an inexplicably irrational trope.
Still one of my favorite movie lines of all time. The ability to let that which does not truly matter ultimately slide
Death to Smoochy was about two decades late in "predicting" the over-commercialization of kids. I grew up in the era of daily 30 minute toy commercials disguised as cartoons.
Motherless Brooklyn is an absolutely fantastic movie, one of my all time favourites, and Norton is the best thing in it.
Great video! I’d love a wtf happened to Edward furlong
Finally!!! Thank you!
My favorite. Thank you for this!
The Painted Veil is outstanding, I wish it got more love. One of his best movies in my opinion (I still have to put Fight Club at No. 1).
Great writing on this series as always! Had no idea about half this stuff.
Love this channel!
Wow. This was a surprisingly interesting and detailed video. Props. Well done.
I really love this series. Keep them coming please. :)
I appreciate that support! Thanks so much!
This is an amazing but complex actor that is very strict about his films,and how they are directed,written and produced,he can and will be always difficult about his craft, and how he is represented.
quality work - always!!!
Subscribed. Outstanding work
Edward Norton is a fantastic actor and artist. He's my favourite actor for sure
Ed Norton is an incredible actor
Dude your commentary is so on point, great video!!
Brilliant video as always. thanks JoBlo!
I think it's a shame that we lost him as the hulk
He's the HULK we know and love
Not the Avengers' pet/comic relief
That was rotten how the mcu did one of Stan Lee’s favorite characters.
John carradine was in the monster club 1981 with Vincent price Stuart Whitman Donald Pleasance
His Hulk snaps his enemy’s bone and stabs them with it if he’s pinned down
John carradine was in the grapes of wrath 1940 with Henry Fonda John qualen ward bond oz Whitehead directed by John Ford produce by Darryl f Zanuck based on the novel from John Steinbeck
@@nicolamcguinness8689 Also the Japanese animated series Bungou Stray Dogs portrays a character based on Steinbeck whose superpower is named "The Grapes of Wrath".
The studios say he's difficult to work with because he's one of the few actors who refuses to let the studios dictate his projects.
which isnt by any means a bad thing, but to be fair, whoever's directing him better get along well with him or the film will struggle to be made for sure lol
I agree but it's not only his project but a whole crew, a collab. I can imagine that alot of ego is involved aswell
He's difficult to work with because he would give such a hard time fulfilling his contractual comittments. Norton was forced to take material that was "beneath him" due to contractual obligations. He hated every second of "The Italian Job".
There's also being a control freak and not going along with the crew ... Who knows
Really enjoying your videos, especially the 'wtf happened to...' series. Keep up the good work!
Always felt death to smoochy was like one of the best movies ever made
I'm flabbergasted the narrator didn't mention the other star of the movie!!
Robin the GOAT Williams!!
@@AntonAdelson ya definitely Robin did a unique performance, just as good as Edward in smoochy.
I always liked it when Robin played the bad guy. Looking at his movie list cool he did smoochy and insomnia the same year, playing a very creepy bad guy in both movies. But Rainbow Randolph was redeemed, Walter Finch was just bad
Ive always thought Edward Norton was way more hot handsome and attractive than brad pitt
25th Hour is my favorite Spike Lee Joint and Eddie Boy’s best film performance. My favorite Norton film.
Geniuses are always "difficult to work with," because they have a unique vision others cannot see, which evokes jealousy and all the bad behaviors that go with that. Everyone needs to just get out of Norton's way and let him do what he wants, so we can all benefit from his rare multi talents.
Among the best actors like Brando, Nicholson, DiCaprio, only that he hasnt actually received his Oscar yet.
The Academy is full of a bunch of old a$s stick up their butt fuddy duddies. Yeah I said it, FUDDY DUDDIES!
I would’ve love to see Edward in a Taxi Driver remake years ago. Nevertheless, I’m glad that film hasn’t been remade.
Yeah same. That’s one of those films that although could be done technically better these days, it’s just not possible to redo. Scorsese and De Niro are so synonymous with that film, that even almost half a century later, it’s still synonymous with these two.
Can’t remake taxi driver 😯 it’s perfect! It’s my favourite movie
Todd Phillips could pull it off
Norton was the detective in 'Red Dragon'. Incredible performance.
Thank you so much for bringing up Stella
No way, didn’t realise primal fear was his first movie. Respect ✊
"predicted the over commercialization of children in tv programing" what? that was pretty obvious before that. I mean its clearly based on Barny, which was around before that.
That was awesome, thanks
I just love LOVE this funny voiceover sound effects
He was awesome in "Leaves of grass" his best performance by far!
One of the greatest actors of all time
I enjoy your narration style - funny!
Great video
Love Edward Norton. Such a great actor.
Chuck Palahniuk gave Fight Club one of the greatest endorsements an adapted work could possibly get.
He said that the film made him ashamed of his novel.
Not because he disliked the film, on the contrary he said that the film was better than his novel.
Really? The novel is pretty damn good. I've seen fight club at least 50 times and read the book 3 times and listen to the audio book at least ten times. The book is pretty damn good too read it or listen to it 👍🏻
@@Mixmastermez
Fully agreed. I read the novel and thoroughly enjoyed it.
What Palahniuk meant was that he felt the film did a more credible job using his source material than he did in writing the novel. I'm sure he was using the word "ashamed" rather loosely.
He said that the changes that were made, such as the way the narrator and Tyler "meet", the ending, and other changes improved the storyline. He also felt the all the actors, particularly the three leads, were perfect representations of their characters.
It's an amazing compliment for the film.
@@mrmojomajestic8317 totally agree with this statement
Just got yourself a new sub my man
Speaking of Edward, you should do a video on WTF happened to Edward Burns. She's the One is such a great film.
Ash Wednesday. Awesome.
Actually looked that movie up while watching this.
Joblo instructed Edward Norton on the whereabouts of Ralph Kramden.
"1999 the greatest year of movies ever"
1974: Am I a joke to you?
This WTF happened to is Brillant! Amazing! Great work! Going back and watching these also makes me go back and watch many of the movies etc that I had forgot over the years. I go back and rewatch many of them and they are also amazing. Thanks to this Joblo..WTF series.
Edward Norton is a great actor. Cool overview of his films 🕺
The Score is a prime example of how talented acting can save a fairly weak script
He should have gotten an Oscar for his role in American History X. Period 💯
And fuck yeah, it was that good ❤
Biggest problem I saw with American History x was that we never got to see American history 1 through 9
Another great legendary actor. Love all his work!
