    He's my favorite actor ever since Gattaca.

      One of my favorites. "I never saved anything for the swim back" was a good line.
      As far as this video, there's a quote from the movie Adaptation: "you are what you love, not what loves you."

      I loved him in Mystery Date and Gattica. He ends up, every so often coming up with some really interesting and surprising characters. Reminds me of Crispen Glover at times. Of course I have to mention Explorers from when I was a kid, and you can't pass by Dead Poet's Society. All great stories.

      @Snakeye808 8 лет назад +3

      In terms of dialogue and banter between two characters, the trio of 'Before' movies are quite possibly the best ever made. And of course Boyhood was a fascinating film. Spending 12 years to follow the same actors and getting them to film scenes ever year is positively epic. So ya, I agree they're awesome :)

      @MrSanford65 8 лет назад

      +Hannes Radke I think a system shits out that which over stays it's welcome , one of the symptoms of such; being over stimulated and fixated on simple, singular concepts

      +Hannes Radke I've never heard of a mental pathology or any social dysfunction based on someone making too many sweeping generalizations .
      In fact , being good at making generalizations is what people pay you for

    being original for the sake of originality is detrimental, be average or better than average, and have that become the new average.

    • @StermaPerma

      I think Ethan Hawke meant innovation and breakthrough. TV shows in China is fucking horrible and I think it's mainly because everybody in show business tries to play the safe card. They plagiarize popular shows. There's not a single bit of originality in it. You just can't see efforts in these kind of shows. Same thing happens in the electronic games world as well. Everyone is making the same kind games except a few true innovator who have passions and visions.

    • @StermaPerma

      ***** I meant it works bothways: Being original for the sake of being original and naturally bettering the average.

    You geniuses think every good composition is sprung from someone who's trying to fit in? He's saying if you want to be an artist you have to risk failure. How many can say they do that for a living? It's narrow minded to attribute artistic articulation to weed or drugs.

    I love this guy. Also, as far as I'm concerned, the rest of Ethan's career could be just "Before" movies. Like, five or six more of them. Until Jesse and Celine are these two old farts complaining about everything. ;)

    This is related to why most of the Darwin Awards winners are also men.

    • @thebossman80s
      @thebossman80s 8 лет назад

      Isn't it sexist to be bothered by the fact that it's mostly men? 🤔

    • @rchuso
      @rchuso 8 лет назад

      Apparently so. I think it's also sexist to point out that women aren't lining up for degrees in the harder sciences or for positions in the less desirable jobs.

    • @thebossman80s
      @thebossman80s 8 лет назад

      +Rand Huso regarding what ethan said,it's probably also down to the fact that men are more prepared to make fools of themselves in general

    @MorningSignal 8 лет назад

    Yeah but movies are sort of dumb most of the time. I mean really, how many movies have really affected you in a lasting positive way? I can think of maybe three: Synecdoche, Cloud Atlas, and Jiro Dreams of Sushi. But when I really think about it I'd probably be no different without them.
