    I think she is truly in her element when she is directing. Watching her direct the romantic garden scene in lady bird she looked so pure and happy and it definitely showed through the screen. I would love to work with her as an actor someday because I feel like her movies will be timeless.

    Reminds me of something Marlon Brando said about not over-rehearsing dialogues so that it actually looks like lines just popped into his head naturally, in an unnatural yet unique to his own way.

      In an interview she stated quite the contrary. She loves rehearsing, she thinks than only when you embody the line you can be truly free to go anywhere.

      That's so interesting because Anthony Hopkins takes the exact opposite approach: ruclips.net/video/4kSGkGKwp9U/видео.htmlsi=658-J0Al6dbLQKi6&t=147

    Wow, she can really make every scene look like a real situation. Naturally awkward. It’s certainly endearing.

    I need more video essays like this! I love how you chose to dive into just one actor rather than a whole movie. also love your color videos and how specific they are. great stuff man! keep up the voice over essays. they're great and if you keep it niche like this one they'll be fresh and unique, further growing your channel

    Exited to see her in White Noise. People are really angry about the movie, but I'm still looking forward to it. (I haven't read the book or anything so I don't understand why people are mad.) Also, Barbie is going to be great! Can't wait! I should probably watch more movies she was in, too. I've only seen Francis Ha and Mistress America.

    What a sensitive gaze you have. I love Gerwig as a writer, a director and as an actress, and I miss watching her on screen so much. But her body of work if flawless. The content you have created in this video fits perfectly with my latest research. May I use it - of course with credits and all?

    they recently did a mini greta gerwig retrospective at my local arthouse cinema and i caught lady bird, little women, frances ha and mistress america (frances ha being the only one of those i'd not yet seen), all pretty packed out screenings. she's an incredible director but she really is such a magnetic screen presence, too. and in frances ha she's constantly laugh out loud funny. i get the feeling she'll definitely be concentrating all her efforts on directing now (as tends to happen when you make a billion dollar film) but i hope she at least continues acting in baumbach's films.

    I just watched No Strings Attached again after many years... not the best movie but a character was pretty charming so I looked up the cast and it was Greta. Then I imdb'd further and was taken back by all of her credits, being the writer and director of Little Women. She's super talented!

    I enjoy Gerwig's performances and I love her movies, buuuut - her mannerisms are like essentially everyone I grew up around and hung with in my 20s. It's probable her thing is basically Xillenniall Middle Class West Coast, distilled.

    • @YodasPapa
      @YodasPapa 2 года назад +23

      Her work is honestly nothing like Wes Anderson's. Gerwig relies a lot on spontaneity both in directing and acting, whereas every frame of Anderson's work is meticulously crafted.
      Gerwig's dialogue tends to aim for naturalism (with notable exceptions such as the final act of Mistress America), while Anderson's is usually looking for a certain artificial but fun rhythm and snap.
