Came to the comment section to say, or see, this exact counterpoint. (I was actually kinda surprised that this wasn’t *THE* top comment in the first place!)
Drive, No Country For Old Men, Nebraska are some that instantly come to mind. I dont think they are wrong that its not common but its not impossible for them to be huge hits or critically praised.
The fact that it had no music totally set the mood, in a way that it was just extremely tense. It made an unfamiliar situation feel real and uneasy. Amazing in my opinion
That's a throw away line from Joe he hasn't actually thought about. Silence or lack of communication is used regularly in films across the board. What's the Viking film starring Mads Mikkelsen? How much talking was in that? Bugger all, great movie though. Edit: Valhalla rising.
@@fredsmith-kingofthelunatic7810 It identifies a major gap in this topic, and Rogan's question, that no one ever really admits because it throw the question back at itself: The types of movies are still being made, it's just not as many people (or at least the same type of people as before) are watching them.
As Quentin Tarantino once said; "the 70's years were the greatest time of American movies ever", today the world of cinema is in a sort of crisis where Superheroes's movies are dominating the industry especially, Marvel's. Fortunately, Tarantino or the own Scorsese have been the directors who have kept cinema alive.
Not to mention films like Whiplash, Birdman, The Lighthouse, The Master (pretty much all of PTA's catalogue for that matter), and hundreds of other beautiful works of art being constantly released
@@kinhamid9665 Man you can't name hundreds of other beautiful works of art constantly released. When you only mentioned four and the last one is from almost ten years ago.
I don't like the overuse of special effects. I feel like for directors of the past, they had to be creative to explore their ideas. Nolan and Tarantino are one of the few directors to build elaborate props for their movies and using minor CGI to clean up the scene.
@@VividFilmProductions thing is, marketing is so costly, often being nearly as much as production costs. Mainstream films tend to have a marketing budget upwards of $100 million. You do get some movies getting free marketing through word of mouth, but it's often rare.
@@heavystorm1614 Marketing on average is over double the cost of production.Its a slimy side of the industry.Very closed door kind of shit.Production heads and board members basically hand picking what they want pushed and trashing good films to have a limited release or arthouse run at most.Fuckin shameful cause there are some seriously good films out there.
@@douglasfreckman8190 Yeah, I agree. I will say, there are great art house/indie/non-mainstream movies out there and they aren't hard to find. The most we can do is pay to watch them, and show our intent/desire to watch more films like that. Parasite and The Lighthouse have been my favourites of the year so far. The festival circuit does great for the smaller movies. Starting from Cannes all the way through to Tiff, the lineups never disappoint. However, you're just never going to get those movies to make 500 mil - 1 billion dollars as consistently as the typical 'blockbuster.' It is sad that so many screens are devoted to those movies. I know some studios demand most, if not all screens, opening day/week for flagship pictures...
When i watched The Revenant to my point of view it was a disappointing. DiCaprio shouldn't have win that oscar for a movie where he is crawling and and saying nothing ,The Revenant was mediocre in comparison with other movies (where he really deserved ) , but hey it was a good movie in comparrison with Pixels , Terminator Genisys or Fantastic four or Star Wars:The Force Awakens it was good enough. But movies like inside out ,the martian ,Ex Machina,the walk are much more memorable and fun to watch, well at least The Revenant tried to do something fresh but it is overrated
The reason they don't make movies like the 70s is pretty much because of one movie, Heaven's Gate. It was a western from the guy who made The Deer Hunter. In the 70s, directors were allowed pretty much total control of their movies, the studios had faith in them. During Heaven's Gate, the director demanded more and more money, and kept going over schedule. The movie was a total box office bomb, and resulted in studios going back to strictly controlling movies during the 80s to focus on cash and not on the art. Reading about Heaven's Gate is fascinating.
Was thinking Heavens Gate as soon as Joe asked the question and kept waotong for Ed to mention it. Really was sorta Ciminos fault (along with a few other movies)
The Godfather was probably one of the most perfect movies ever made. Dialog that was clear and not muffled, concise editing that needed no more or less footage.
Exactly. Hollywood has never been artistic and only a few of the truly great directors such as Francis Coopola Ford, Martin Scorsese and a few others of that elite rank has made films that can be considered art. The rest of Hollywood is mostly entertainment escapism
nathan wallace that’s just false. I work in the film industry. The trend towards blockbusters is quite recent. For most of the history of film, Hollywood produced films of artistic merit along with the money making crowd pleasers. Sony Classic Pictures is Sony’s arthouse Wing and still produces some of the greatest art films of the day. Until the Disney Merger the same was true of 20th century Fox and Fox Searchlight. Additionally. Scorsese didn’t start out making big budget Hollywood films. They started out making art films and built their reputation. Some of the greatest directors today make arthouse films along with big budget films. Alfonso Cuaron, Alejandro Inarritu, etc all make Hollywood films, art films, and Hollywood art films.
I remember watching Fight Club and turning it off after 30 mins for being slow. I watched it again and to this date I name it as my favorite movie. These movies are not for everyone but if done correctly they can be some of the greatest movies of all time.

Norton’s smart and old school enough to understand what the real reason is behind why movies like those in the 80s-90s aren’t made anymore but understands that if he does dare utter his TRUE opinion, he will be shunned and probably permanently for life from any acting and roles. Art, which movies like The Godfather, Alien(s), No Country for Old Men, Full Metal Jacket, Fight Club and beyond are, cannot have a “politically correct point system” to satisfy. Movies made in the years 1960-2010ish were amazing because the freedom to create a story without any afterthought of which of the now 900 groups it may offend was there which allowed both the directors/writers and the actors to write, make, and act out movies without anything held back and with the story and cinematic quality being the main focus. Now, literally EVERYTHING is ALL about appeasing the left. Marxism has taken over everything from Hollywood to academia to social media to congress, and as usual, Marxism destroys and sucks the life out of everything it touches. - Ex Soviet Union citizen now living in the U.S who knows a thing or two about life under totalitarian control.
RUclips and social media is to blame. People seem to not be able to take their time with anything anymore, everything has to be digested in 2 minutes because it can.
Absolutely. I took a class about this very thing at uni and it's quite shocking how much films are tailored to sell the most tickets possible. Even adding a few swear words in just to make it pg13 (Which is the most popular rating)
The decade from 1967 to 1977 has been called Hollywood's second golden age. So many classics. This was when the big studios were making expensive flops and suddenly an inexpensive little film called Easy Rider made a fortune. Cleared the way for young filmmakers like Coppola, Scorcese, DePalma, Lucas, and many others to make films without much interference from the studios. Bonnie and Clyde, The Graduate, Midnight Cowboy, Deliverance, French Connection, Network, The Exorcist, Godfather one and two, Taxi Driver, Jaws, Rocky, Chinatown, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Dog Day Afternoon, Carrie, Apocalypse Now, American Graffiti, Annie Hall-- it's a long list. I doubt you could cite a better decade; also these were all made by major studios, not scrappy little independents trying to do something original. Now the best stuff is being done for streaming services and TV.
And then came Spielberg and Jaws and Lucas and Star Wars. Big, exciting movies that made huge profits. And that's the answer: Blockbusters can make huge profits.
I’ve literally noticed my whole life that the year 99 spawned some of the best movies. Fight club, the matrix, American beauty, the boondock saints, sixth sense, Detroit rock city, girl interrupted, jawbreaker (lol), ghost dog, the hurricane, man on the moon etc etc
It was good for like an hour and a half or 2 hours, but the ending was HORRIBLE, GOD AWFUL and single handedly ruined the whole movie. Its like the entire movie had a brilliant 2 hour set up for...nothing. for garbage. Not a good movie.
@@theindiediary5950 Same here, I'm famous for liking what my friends consider slow, boring movies, but I never quite got interested enough in the Godfather to bother trying any of the sequels.
The godfather 1 and 2 are definately top 5 cinematic experiences of all time. Doesn't matter how they portrayed the Italian mob. That's not what makes the movies great. It's the intense story telling.. brilliant music filming everything was just masterclass with those movies. Number 3 was a great movie in its own right but compared to the first 2 it's child's play to be honest
Everyone needs to watch “There Will Be Blood” by Paul Thomas Anderson (my fav director). The beginning of the movie is 30 minutes of no dialogue, and he pulled it off flawlessly.
1999 was awesome, the best year of movies i lived.i saw many of them in the theater: American Beauty, The Insider, Being John Malkovich, Magnolia, Boys Don't Cry, The Matrix, Fight Club, Election, The Straight Story, The Talented Mr Ripley, The Sixth Sense, The Limey - Sodherbergs Masterpiece- , Office Space, Three Kings, The Iron Giant, The Green Mile, Eyes Wide Shut, South Park Bigger, Longer, and Uncut (the best musical film ever to me) Most of those movies are.classics, all from only one single year There were even great comedied: Austin Powers 2, Analyse This.
All of you above are incorrect and Greco (OP) is spot on. Norton understands that left wing Marxist ideas have permeated everything from Hollywood and beyond but gets that if he dares speak out the truth, he will be shunned and ostracized probably for life which means no more acting and money. I don’t blame him..
Also Red Turtle and Le Dernier Combat. Amblin, Spielberg's first professional level film (though it's a short at 30 minutes) has no dialogue at all. It got him noticed.
One thing I noticed with older movies versus many movies today is that older movies tend to focus heavily on the face and facial expressions of the actors. So whenever I see a new movie that is actually focusing on raw acting ability and facial expressions it's generally safe to say i'm watching a good movie.
Yes Drive is amazing and was inspired by 80's films. There has been a resurgence of these type of movies but it depends if people are willing to look or not.
@@mck7646 i'd say aesthetically Drive was reminiscent of the 80s with its soundtrack, neon colours, clothing, vehicles, etc but cinematically I think it's more similar to 70s films than 80s films. Like old Steve McQueen or Clint Eastwood movies or the 1978 film The Driver. but that's just me nitpicking. Under the Skin is also another film with little dialogue and a real minimalistic vibe. But most of these movies are pigeon-holed into the arthouse category of movies and not fully embraced by all viewers like you say. Also Dunkirk is a big one too.
@@louisfreeman9551 Came to say this 👍 I can still remember seeing it in the cinema and was pleasantly surprised at how captivating it was despite no dialogue or 2 way interaction
@@nekitamol1k242 He’s explaining what they talked about, thus fundamentally disagreeing with OP’s statement that they “didn’t say anything”. Pretty obvious really
Bill Simmons asked the same question before and the answer was pretty simple: a lot of those slow burn dramas moved to cable tv & streaming services. Movies may not be at the level of 1970s anymore, but tv series have never been better.
Ryan Fernandez That’s no excuse. Who cares about TV series, they take too much time. Rather have a solid two hours of a movie and use spare time for other things in life.
You think so..? I find a lot of series to have bad scenarios and scripts, and seldom is it perfect like those old movies. The amount of plot holes or stupid behaviour to stretch the episodes is tedious!
Because the 70s was about pushing the envelope and creativity, now it’s about money and money only in the laziest way possible. At least independent and foreign films are still delivering quality
1) The Artist 2) The Revenant 3) Mad Max Fury Road 4) There will be Blood 5) Shape of Water. These are just some of the movies I can think of right of the bat that would have long quiet scenes. Joe is like those old guys who says they don't make em like they used to, ignoring great contemporary cinema.
+sukrpunch A quiet place was not a major studio production. The problem is that the vast majority of films in the cinema are big productions that all look the same and sound the same.
@Skeptical Slim That is not entirely true. Sure, studios want to make a profit, nobody denies that. Let's look at two different movie franchises...Ghostbusters and James Bond. Are you saying that neither of the latest installments are non agenda driven, and that ticket sales was the sole motivation behind these movies? How about Star Wars, or the Marvel series of movies in general? If they remake Jaws or The Birds, they would work in that climate change is the reason for an increase in shark/bird attacks. Lots of subtle and not so subtle agenda driven plots and subplots that alter or change a story into an agenda driven vehicle.
@@jamie49868 umm James bond was idolizing mi6 and making them look good. Their was a lot of references to the cold war. So yeah quite political. The original 4,5,6 star wars was a group of rebel fighting a corrupt regime who were called terrorist by said regime.
A film without dialogue was made recently and the film is incredible. It's called "All is Lost" by Robert Redford, about a seasoned sailor trying to survive on the open ocean.
But when one door closes another one opens because even though studios are more strict its much easier to do things without a studio because of the internet.
Fight Club and American History X have big cult followings and he was Hulk once. He's not a mainstream star because he doesn't do stupid mainstream movies and he's not a handsome hunk like a Brad Pitt or Zac Efron. The mainsteam star's are really just mainly the guy's that the Women masturbate over.
@@andrewcutler1380 He's starred in 3 movies that have likely been watched by every fan of serious film and 1 major blockbuster. The rest are smaller independent releases. He's not like a Tom Hanks or Will Smith who's whole filmography is largely box office hits.
The 70s was incredible for film. You go through the list of all that came out and it changed film forever for the better. We need this era revitalized badly. The movies that come out are so lazy and safe.
Because people these days have a twisted view of reality. They think things are much worse when in fact the world is relatively peaceful than previous decades.
Norman Jewison the director of Thomas Crown Affair , The Heat of the Night and Fiddler on the Roof among others , has stated that the 1960's and 1970's were the best time for movies and movie making .
I think it was due to Pulp Fiction and the Quentin "brand" that drove so many of those later 90's movies. You also had David Lynch who had really gained traction which showed that you could make creative compelling film. I think the late 90's maybe into the 00's was the last of the greats.
A lot of slow scenes in Magnolia. Very underrated classic that's not that old. Came out around the same time as PT Anderson's other classic Boogie Nights
"No Country for Old Men" is a good example of films that make you think. There wasn't any music throughout the entire movie not even in the credits. Which really helped to absorb the atmosphere.

It was so cute listening to him trying not to insult anyone in film industry.
Nope, he had nothing to say, so waffled.
Norton’s smart and old school enough to understand what the real reason is behind why movies like those in the 80s-90s aren’t made anymore but understands that if he does dare utter his TRUE opinion, he will be shunned and probably permanently for life from any acting and roles.
Art, which movies like The Godfather, Alien(s), No Country for Old Men, Full Metal Jacket, Fight Club and beyond are, cannot have a “politically correct point system” to satisfy. Movies made in the years 1960-2010ish were amazing because the freedom to create a story without any afterthought of which of the now 900 groups it may offend was there which allowed both the directors/writers and the actors to write, make, and act out movies without anything held back and with the story and cinematic quality being the main focus. Now, literally EVERYTHING is ALL about appeasing the left. Marxism has taken over everything from Hollywood to academia to social media to congress, and as usual, Marxism destroys and sucks the life out of everything it touches.

2001: a space odyssey doesn’t have dialogue till 35 mins in.
Manic Rhymes that movie is from the 70s tho
@@jimmy2055 hahaha clueless
1968 actually
My bad I thought it was 35 mins
Thats because the opening is centered around apes cheif
ED Norton looks like the compliance officer at every tech company
Oddly correct too 😂
What the fuck is a compliance officer? Get another job.
Probably how he got the role in fight club
he kinda owns a tech company
Not a single note of music either
Edward “it it like was like ya know like it it” Norton
2001 runs like half an hour without dialogue and put a stranglehold on my attention
The 'short attention span' theater, I think could be attributed to the market's general over-saturation today (thanks Disney)
I blame Netflix. Up until recently movies weren’t JUST a backdrop. Now it’s easy to just have it on
and phones, everyone has to look at their phones every 5 minutes
Market is not saturated. Come on have you any idea how may platforms there are?
RUclips and social media is to blame. People seem to not be able to take their time with anything anymore, everything has to be digested in 2 minutes because it can.
Absolutely. I took a class about this very thing at uni and it's quite shocking how much films are tailored to sell the most tickets possible. Even adding a few swear words in just to make it pg13 (Which is the most popular rating)
Taxi Driver (1976) hands down one of the best films ever made
i mean, it's good but i don't even think it's top 100
Taxi driver is boring
That's a funny way to spell The Godfather.
Goodfellas is better
@@anon546 Goodfellas is a masterpiece but personal opinion? Godfather 1 and 2 are the best movies ever made. 3 is hit and miss
The decade from 1967 to 1977 has been called Hollywood's second golden age. So many classics. This was when the big studios were making expensive flops and suddenly an inexpensive little film called Easy Rider made a fortune. Cleared the way for young filmmakers like Coppola, Scorcese, DePalma, Lucas, and many others to make films without much interference from the studios. Bonnie and Clyde, The Graduate, Midnight Cowboy, Deliverance, French Connection, Network, The Exorcist, Godfather one and two, Taxi Driver, Jaws, Rocky, Chinatown, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Dog Day Afternoon, Carrie, Apocalypse Now, American Graffiti, Annie Hall-- it's a long list. I doubt you could cite a better decade; also these were all made by major studios, not scrappy little independents trying to do something original. Now the best stuff is being done for streaming services and TV.
And then came Spielberg and Jaws and Lucas and Star Wars. Big, exciting movies that made huge profits. And that's the answer: Blockbusters can make huge profits.
The 90s were better
Norton is great. Glad he's back. 25th Hour is one of my favorite movies of all time.
The last time I was this early, Ben Askren was still conscious
Aww man let that man rest in peace already lol
@@dominicbonora6099 He has had 2 naps already, he should be plenty rested

Oh snap lol
The great white hype
I’ve literally noticed my whole life that the year 99 spawned some of the best movies. Fight club, the matrix, American beauty, the boondock saints, sixth sense, Detroit rock city, girl interrupted, jawbreaker (lol), ghost dog, the hurricane, man on the moon etc etc
RIP 90s. We will never forget you
boondock saints is ass.. it was a good year though. Most people will usually say 99 was the best year for movies
Magnolia
@@_sayan_roy_ magnolia came out in 98
American Beauty is the best movie of all time in my opinion, 99 was amazing and especially the whole 90s
Me: "It's pathetic how people today have such short attention span."
Also me: *puts video on 1.75x to finish it faster.*
you need a doctor dude
this actually increases your attention on the video since you have to focus more to comprehense what they are saying
Ahahaha that’s me
If you actually do that then you might just be a genius or super weird!
1,5 sounds normal to me
Blade Runner 2049 is a rare masterpiece in my opinion.
Plot sucked balls
K I N O
I fucking agree
It was good for like an hour and a half or 2 hours, but the ending was HORRIBLE, GOD AWFUL and single handedly ruined the whole movie. Its like the entire movie had a brilliant 2 hour set up for...nothing. for garbage. Not a good movie.
K I N O le film daddy villeneuve ooooh i love it mmh
The godfather is still one of the top five best movies ever.
I've never seen it. All the time I say I'm going to see it, but I never do.
I've tried to like it. Always found it quite boring. And I enjoy slower paced films. It just never clicked with me.
@@theindiediary5950 Same here, I'm famous for liking what my friends consider slow, boring movies, but I never quite got interested enough in the Godfather to bother trying any of the sequels.
The godfather 1 and 2 are definately top 5 cinematic experiences of all time. Doesn't matter how they portrayed the Italian mob. That's not what makes the movies great. It's the intense story telling.. brilliant music filming everything was just masterclass with those movies. Number 3 was a great movie in its own right but compared to the first 2 it's child's play to be honest
@@jmlkhan5153 GF2 is by far the best one. So real.
I am Jack's complete lack of surprise

The next person to make a Fight Club reference gets a lead salad.
I am Samurai Jacks lack of dialogue.
@@Theevil6ify I am salad's complete lack of lead.
I think the BOOK Edward Norton was referencing was, "Best. Movie. Year. Ever.: How 1999 Blew Up the Big Screen" by Brian Raftery.
Everyone needs to watch “There Will Be Blood” by Paul Thomas Anderson (my fav director). The beginning of the movie is 30 minutes of no dialogue, and he pulled it off flawlessly.
1999 was awesome, the best year of movies i lived.i saw many of them in the theater:
American Beauty, The Insider, Being John Malkovich, Magnolia, Boys Don't Cry, The Matrix, Fight Club, Election, The Straight Story, The Talented Mr Ripley, The Sixth Sense, The Limey - Sodherbergs Masterpiece- , Office Space, Three Kings, The Iron Giant, The Green Mile, Eyes Wide Shut, South Park Bigger, Longer, and Uncut (the best musical film ever to me)
Most of those movies are.classics, all from only one single year
There were even great comedied: Austin Powers 2, Analyse This.
Even horror films like Audition and Blair witch project
Look at something like “A Clockwork Orange.” That movie is still shocking and it came out in 1971.
SnoozeFest.
You people have bad taste!

Why you people hating on a Kubrick movie? We have bigger fish to fry. (Like Disney live-action remakes)

You’re watching a man combatting his true thoughts. Norton had something to say but didn’t want to say it.
@@YTbobo4u No he just has so many thoughts going on, it's quite obvious.
Nah, I think he just didn't have a good answer
Nope, he just had nothing to say, so waffled for 5 mins
@@ilikethatboulder.thatisani5496 No. He just has ADHD. Time to get him on meds.
All of you above are incorrect and Greco (OP) is spot on. Norton understands that left wing Marxist ideas have permeated everything from Hollywood and beyond but gets that if he dares speak out the truth, he will be shunned and ostracized probably for life which means no more acting and money. I don’t blame him..
Joes questions are awesome and the thoughtfulness and time allowed to answer the questions are absolutely wonderful and Necessary!!
Movies are made for kids not adults now
We have fewer adults too.
Like Sausage Party..
I hardly ever go to see a movie in the theaters. I went in July. Every movie was basically a kid's movie.
@@noone8418 I was about to say, more adults act like kids these days lol
Are you fucking kidding me? This is the dumbest take I’ve read today.
For wonderful examples of movies without much dialog .
Robert Redford All Is Lost (2013)
Mads Mikkelsen Arctic (2018)
Also Red Turtle and Le Dernier Combat. Amblin, Spielberg's first professional level film (though it's a short at 30 minutes) has no dialogue at all. It got him noticed.
All is lost was a good movie i commented that movie couldnt remember the name of it
Quest For Fire I think had no dialogue.
Mads! Hes wonderful! Master of microexpressions!
William Steen I'll add Mads Mikkelsen in Valhalla Rising (2009)
“Conan The Barbarian” has like a 1 page dialogue page😂
Still a great movie. Arnie had so much charisma just being on screen.
Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of the women!
@@arceyes "The riddle, of Steel!"
One thing I noticed with older movies versus many movies today is that older movies tend to focus heavily on the face and facial expressions of the actors. So whenever I see a new movie that is actually focusing on raw acting ability and facial expressions it's generally safe to say i'm watching a good movie.
Love JRE for his content
"there will be blood" has no dialogue for like first 10-15 minutes
I'm loving these interviews with Ed Norton. Great stuff.
Edward Norton is one of the greatest actors of all time.
@I Will Rock Your Face! oh hi Mark
That lack of dialogue was one of the reasons I loved Valhalla Rising (2009) with Mads Mikkelsen.
Daniel Vance same here!!
This whole interview the Hulk looks like he's about to belch but then he doesn't .
“Drive” was one of the last great movies with little dialogue I’ve seen.
Yes Drive is amazing and was inspired by 80's films. There has been a resurgence of these type of movies but it depends if people are willing to look or not.
@@mck7646 i'd say aesthetically Drive was reminiscent of the 80s with its soundtrack, neon colours, clothing, vehicles, etc but cinematically I think it's more similar to 70s films than 80s films. Like old Steve McQueen or Clint Eastwood movies or the 1978 film The Driver. but that's just me nitpicking.
Under the Skin is also another film with little dialogue and a real minimalistic vibe. But most of these movies are pigeon-holed into the arthouse category of movies and not fully embraced by all viewers like you say. Also Dunkirk is a big one too.
Dunkirk as well, especially in the beginning of the film.
@@KaizerMan yeah late 70's, early 80's vibes. Might be my favorite era of movies.
Terrible movie
The first uh, many minutes of *Up* was silent. And was brilliant beginning to that film.
Tbh I only remember that opening scene. The rest was just...meh
Didn't WALL-E have a long stretch without dialogue as well? It's been a long time since we watched it.
@@louisfreeman9551 Came to say this 👍
I can still remember seeing it in the cinema and was pleasantly surprised at how captivating it was despite no dialogue or 2 way interaction

He talked for 5 minutes but didn’t say anything.
Back then directors had more freedom to do risky projects, nowadays it's all about money and agenda. No more no less.
@@miguelvidal2335 Lol wtf does your reply have to do with the comment?
@@nekitamol1k242 He’s explaining what they talked about, thus fundamentally disagreeing with OP’s statement that they “didn’t say anything”. Pretty obvious really
You just didn't hear or understood what he said. Idiot calling others dumb only because you didn't grasp what was said 😂
The fart explanation was awesome, thank you for that. Funny as hell man.
Bill Simmons asked the same question before and the answer was pretty simple: a lot of those slow burn dramas moved to cable tv & streaming services. Movies may not be at the level of 1970s anymore, but tv series have never been better.
Ryan Fernandez That’s no excuse. Who cares about TV series, they take too much time. Rather have a solid two hours of a movie and use spare time for other things in life.
@@WateryFire a lot of people care lmao
You think so..? I find a lot of series to have bad scenarios and scripts, and seldom is it perfect like those old movies. The amount of plot holes or stupid behaviour to stretch the episodes is tedious!
Because the 70s was about pushing the envelope and creativity, now it’s about money and money only in the laziest way possible. At least independent and foreign films are still delivering quality
Drive starting Ryan gosling was a good movie that lacked dialogue,made it more intense in my opinion
Good one. A fine flick!
I don’t think Norton makes sense even to himself.
Shut up
Yeah this was hard to watch
1) The Artist
2) The Revenant
3) Mad Max Fury Road
4) There will be Blood
5) Shape of Water.
These are just some of the movies I can think of right of the bat that would have long quiet scenes. Joe is like those old guys who says they don't make em like they used to, ignoring great contemporary cinema.
Joe: "They would never make a movie where there was no talking for a long period of time anymore"
A quiet place: "am I a joke to you?"
Sign language is still dialogue
+sukrpunch
A quiet place was not a major studio production. The problem is that the vast majority of films in the cinema are big productions that all look the same and sound the same.
fuck you and that mediocre ass film you lame....silence is a gimmick in that film
That movie was whack af tho the monsters looked like a middleschool kids cgi’d them
Dunkirk!
Back in the day there was more story telling and less agenda.
What day? Not the 1970s, not the 1950s, not the 1940s or '30s.
@@hd-xc2lz There have always been agenda driven movies. It just seems like every movie made today is agenda driven.
every penny today is agenda driven.
@Skeptical Slim That is not entirely true. Sure, studios want to make a profit, nobody denies that. Let's look at two different movie franchises...Ghostbusters and James Bond. Are you saying that neither of the latest installments are non agenda driven, and that ticket sales was the sole motivation behind these movies? How about Star Wars, or the Marvel series of movies in general? If they remake Jaws or The Birds, they would work in that climate change is the reason for an increase in shark/bird attacks. Lots of subtle and not so subtle agenda driven plots and subplots that alter or change a story into an agenda driven vehicle.
@@jamie49868 umm James bond was idolizing mi6 and making them look good. Their was a lot of references to the cold war. So yeah quite political. The original 4,5,6 star wars was a group of rebel fighting a corrupt regime who were called terrorist by said regime.
A film without dialogue was made recently and the film is incredible. It's called "All is Lost" by Robert Redford, about a seasoned sailor trying to survive on the open ocean.
I don’t like this clip. A whole lot of talk and nothing being said.
1999 is the goat year for films
Drive with Ryan Gosling was a great movie with very less dialogues and did pretty well in box office.
That was a cool little movie, actually. Not perfect but, it didn't seem to try to be. I liked it.
Lots of movies recently with long silent moments if you look hard enough. Not that many films like that even back in the 70s.
Because people stopped reading novels and lost their imaginations.
Good point
Nah
Just a friendly note from a fan:
If ya haven’t seen Norton in *Leaves Of Grass* ... check it out! 😁👌🏼
Cliff notes: He doesn't know why.
:30 Wall-E had no dialog for the first half of the movie.
Wall-E was a kids film based on visual animations. It was not a serious film.
@@bighands69 Meh...it was making a pretty big adult point. Have to disagree. Consumption...over-reliance on technology, etc.
David Fincher?? Dude is one of the biggest names in Hollywood and has made consistently great work.
I don't think Ed Norton knows who David Fincher is. David just makes underground films and Ed makes big blockbusters like Fight Club.
Kaizer-Man What. David Fincher worked with Ed Norton on Fight Club. They definitley know eachother
@@KaizerMan wtf
There Will Be Blood had very little or no dialog for like the first 20 minutes. One of the best films of the 21st century.
Interstellar was pretty good & it had long silent parts with just Hans Zimmer in the background & I loved it, it sets the mood very good.
O Brother where art thou is a brilliant film to check out if you haven’t yet
Proper exploratory conversation 👍
But when one door closes another one opens because even though studios are more strict its much easier to do things without a studio because of the internet.
Why isn't Norton a household name? His acting is genious.
Fight Club and American History X have big cult followings and he was Hulk once.
He's not a mainstream star because he doesn't do stupid mainstream movies and he's not a handsome hunk like a Brad Pitt or Zac Efron. The mainsteam star's are really just mainly the guy's that the Women masturbate over.
Huh? I don't know anyone who isn't aware of Ed Norton. What rock are your friends living under?
@@andrewcutler1380 He's starred in 3 movies that have likely been watched by every fan of serious film and 1 major blockbuster.
The rest are smaller independent releases. He's not like a Tom Hanks or Will Smith who's whole filmography is largely box office hits.
@@mre7152 I agree, he's not as well known as a Tom Hanks or Tom Cruise, but he's still A-list. 'Fight Club' is still a pop-culture milestone.
The artist literally just won best picture a few years back lol
Chris Nolan’s Dunkirk has little dialogue and is just amazing!! Visually fantastic. A soundtrack that makes you feel it.
The 70s was incredible for film. You go through the list of all that came out and it changed film forever for the better. We need this era revitalized badly. The movies that come out are so lazy and safe.
When I saw " the joker" I was amazed people called it violent. People mistakes violence with a form of truth.
Because people these days have a twisted view of reality. They think things are much worse when in fact the world is relatively peaceful than previous decades.
There's the one scene in Joker that you've never seen in a Marvel-DC movie. It's the quality, not the quantity
those people who called it violent have never seen true violence. they are a bunch of pussies

Norman Jewison the director of Thomas Crown Affair , The Heat of the Night and Fiddler on the Roof among others , has stated that the 1960's and 1970's were the best time for movies and movie making .
Joe Rogan has the best interviews hands down
esias Boo hands down, don't shoot.
Wow the spinal tap reference came out of nowhere 😂
I think it was due to Pulp Fiction and the Quentin "brand" that drove so many of those later 90's movies. You also had David Lynch who had really gained traction which showed that you could make creative compelling film. I think the late 90's maybe into the 00's was the last of the greats.
The Artist was dialogue free and was released a few years ago - it won oscars.
was dog shit too!
Mr Robot recently had an episode with almost no dialogue
I know he’s sort of been around forever but I definitely missed Edward Norton. He’s definitely one of the better artists of his generation.
A lot of slow scenes in Magnolia. Very underrated classic that's not that old. Came out around the same time as PT Anderson's other classic Boogie Nights
I saw Motherless Brooklyn last night.
