Love from Japan. I am working on a film now. I never forget this interview. I started in Oakland California now I am in Osaka now. Let’s get it let’s gooo!
Well, de niro has been an a-lister before this young whipper snapper was even in the industry. To be the director and to have to take charge of the movie tho and tell de niro what to do on set. I can only imagine what that's like. If the actor has an ego I can imagine it'd be impossible to work with
@@DivineAtheistWannabe Look at them man. A young director, just a tiny touch overprotective and the beast raising his shield. It's hilarious and makes you proud at the same fucking time ...
@chris brady Have you ever seen a gangster movie of De Niro? I doubt it. His characters in Mean Streets, The Godfather 2, Once Upon a Time in America, Goodfellas, The Untouchables and Casino are totally different.
De Niro and Tarantino allegedly didn't have a good experience working together on Jackie Brown, at least according to the New York Post, which leaked a private phone conversation Tarantino had with Harvey Weinstein where they were talking about how De Niro felt he wasn't being paid enough.
@@robotube7361 Leaked phone call of Tarantino and Weinstein talking about De Niro complaining he didn’t get paid enough and how much they annoyed each other on set.
So you go from being a high school drop out working in a video store to sitting on a couch being interviewed with De Niro and referring to him as "Bob". Pretty freakin cool!
This is hilarious. Robert looks like he just came out of the shower. He wears clothes that don't really fit. He's really authentic. As is Quentin. Thanks for uploading.
I think he means what he says. From that perspective, he is very careful in what and how he says it. I reckon he doesn’t do small talk. A highly intelligent guy. The method probably has inadvertently destroyed his real personality.
Met Quentin in NY in the Village at Kim's Underground Video (GO THERE). It was freaky because my wife and I were having a discussion about his work (Huge Fans), and his voice, unmistakeable, we hear one aisle over. Then Quentin just saunters into the next aisle, our aisle. In NY it's Uncool, declasse, to ask for an autograph, who needs those anyway? I said, "Quentin, we're big fans man...thanks for the great work." He smiled like a kid,shook hands, "Thanks, man! Appreciate that." A real person.
you think that they would be bored of hearing the praise all the time. But then again, half the time (especially with such a contraversial filmmaker) half the time it must be hatred. So receiving humble praise from real fans, who don't want a picture, don't want to GET anything, just to give to you, to let you know that what you're doing really means something to someone, that really must be a good feeling.
I love how respectful and supportive Quentin is of Bob. I've heard that Robert DeNiro doesn't like doing interviews, being that he's naturally quite highly introverted. I think he overcomes it in films by becoming absorbed in he character he's playing. Much respect and appreciation to them both for being masters of their crafts.
It just always strange to me, even though I know humans are human, seeing an actor who is so well spoken in a movie and so great at working with a script, barely able to get an answer or even full sentence out without difficulty in interviews. Like I bet they're probably fun to talk to off camera but some people are not built for live TV. No offense to the legend Bobby Deniro but it's such an interesting contrast each time
bob didnt like the movie, he didnt like doing it. Weinstein persuaded him. i never felt De Niro was right in a QT film. It still looks awkward today, Bridget Fonda too.
When I first saw De Niro in Jackie Brown I thought "That's it? What a waste", but now years later it's the one Tarantino movie performance that I find myself loving increasingly more and more on each rewatch. I rewatch Jackie Brown a lot.
although Tarantino has never made a horror film, the delight of Tarantino's films is the delight of the old slashers, like Hills Have Eyes or Last House (the '70's originals). The delight of seeing really really bad men who get exactly what they deserve.
I love how in a French interview, De Niro is able to loosen up and talk about the process of filmmaking, whereas the American press seems to be only fascinated with celebrity itself.
They really did a great job with that studio. Really paid a lot of attention, to the background wall, and the sofa. The designer did a great job, most have been quite expensive though. Not exactly a cheap interior.
deniro has such a tough time intellectualizing his craft. it can be tough to watch, but he's my all time fave. love QT & JB as well, so thanks for posting.
DeNiro attitude reminds me a lot of DiCaprio doing interviews with Quentin for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. They both seem to invest a lot before the cameras and don't wanna discuss the process in interviews. I think it's more interesting listening to a director speak about the movie than the actor. Considering it's finally the director's call/take and not much of the actor who just followed what the director expected of them.
@@Aman-nk5uq Taxi Driver, yes seen it, and Raging Bull, yes seen it, but you're right about GF2, unless you mean Grand Father II... in which case I have seen that as well. It's hard to choose, because let's face it, he _is_ brilliant in Cape Fear, too.
Wow!! Tarantino was so lucky to have De Niro being interviewed with him for that long. He could have had him longer if he'd just let it go about the "daylies situation" and talked about something else. Lol De Niro was pretty smooth on how he left. "I've gotta go, I'm going to miss my plane." Best way to get out of an awkward situation.
This is the most in depth I’ve ever seen De Niro on film. Not that I’ve seen loads… but still! Perhaps disarmed by the relaxed vibe and charming interviewers
12:03 that's why Quentin is a GENIUS Director, & De Nero is a GENIUS actor - because you can have them both doing NOTHING basically on-set, in the film, & it works. & makes a great scene, & it's a great movie. If you've not seen it, go watch it. Fantastic.
They should work together again. I really don't get why quentin don't call him. Actually I really don't get why all great directors don't call him, he's like most fascinating actor EVER. Bruce Dern is great, Samuel L Jackson is amazing, but man, De Niro is just fucking De Niro. De Niro makes it all another level.
brahim kadi Yeah, but just because the role is different or harder doesn't mean it's good. I think he was miscast, that's the problem. Having de niro in a role like this is just not a good idea.
De Niro's most frightening character ever was in Jackie Brown. The subtle, bottled up frustration of that character always bubbling up to the surface, but never exploding.
This is awesomely spectacular for the following reasons: - Mr. De Niro (and Tarantino) had clearly been kidnapped by German terrorist fanboys who have zero decor skills - Quentin was LOVING IT (I assume he paid for the experience - to see Bob as Lewis again) - Bob WAS Lewis again - throw in a Screwdriver, a bong and a stoner surfer-girl - To support my kidnapping theory, Mr. De Niro wasn't saying a lot, but he was telling us everything. THINK ABOUT IT - It's great to see the greats able to watch a great movie and experience it (basically) just like the rest of us, in it's final release form! Please put this video in the Smithsonian petition, below
yes, actors always stay in character through the media circuit for a film. this is the same as Leo in the OUATIH interviews, same loser unsure anxious self loathing character. Washed up criminal, washed up actor
cb81987 Nah, he's nothing compared to PS Hoffman, Daniel Day Lewis, Gary Oldman, and a couple of others. He's very good, at least was, but he's not the best.
wiremessiah Aside from Daniel Day Lewis possibly,none of the other actors mentioned can reach De Niro's best work. I personally don't think he's the best but he his top 5.
Joe Lazarus Gary oldman in The Professional and True Romance are as good as anything De Niro has ever done. As is PS hoffman in The Master and Synechdoche New York. Day Lewis in My Left Foot and There will be blood are better than anything De Niro has done.
In grade school I idolized this rap group - I showed up to one of their shows and nobody else came, so it was just me and them all night - Quentin’s inquisitive energy being stunted by his fandom here is relatable.
One can notice the hostility between the two. The body language, the selective words chosen to say for each other, the lack of smile and fun that usually is there when they're both with other people. No wonder they never worked again together.
There's a voice mail from QT to Harvey where he's complaining about DeNiro ... if anyone can find it online let me know. It's out there and it's great.
yes and i can believe it. The two didnt get on. And JB was the first movie QT compromised on cast and got carried away by fame and Weinsteins influence. De Niro was wrong in this film, too old, too detached. Jackson was out acting him every scene. He was fresh, De Niro was not. But then i just never got JB as a movie concept. I didnt care about any of the characters. I did in True Romance, R Dogs, even Bruce in Pulp.
I was in that Allen Garfield class with Quentin back in 1986. (Interesting to watch him here with DeNiro as we both shared a great passion for "Mean Streets") The Actor's Shelter. A little place on Robertson Blvd. in Beverly Hills. We hung out, rehearsed and worked on a scene from Sam Shepard's "True West" which was a TRIP. Allen was quite the teacher. A friend. He LOVED Quentin. You knew from watching him perform some of the material he had written the guy had a gift. An American Original. Given this interview was 1997, he's made his mark as a MAJOR TALENT in film history. Solid body of work. In closing, I believe "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood" was the film he was destined to make. EPIC. Happy for QT.
I like how De Niro sabotaged his own legacy, in his later career. It's like when great painters take all their canvases into the garden and set fire to them.
Tarantino’s last movie has to feature all of these guy. Keitel, Kurt Russell, Sam Jackson, Leonardo, Pitt, Travolta, Pam Greer, Madson, Roth, Uma Therman... name any I forgot. It needs to be an all encompassing Tarantino ensemble.
At 21:50 Rob checks his watch, just after Quentin says, "He was always Luis." ... .. . At 21:10 you can see him make eye contact with somebody out of frame. It's possible he's just staring intensely into the distance but he looks at the same spot throughout the interview. At 22:00 he makes eye contact with the same person again more decisively, directly after checking his watch. Then at 22:04 his eyes follow someone coming around to his right before ducking out of frame to the right at 22:10 when they whisper in his ear. The camera zooms in on Quentin to give De Niro privacy and from off camera De Niro announces his intention to leave the interview at 22:24. I imagine De Niro was looking at a very pretty young woman with a clipboard and a watch of her own: his manager, agent or publicist. I think he wasn't at risk of missing a flight. He's fucking "Bob" De Niro! He owns the plane. Nay, I think he and his publicist were concerned about his image in relationship with the misogynistic villain he portrayed in the film. As he stated, he trusted Quentin very dearly, and trusted Quentin's sensibility, and that his portrayal of evil would work toward something greater in the whole of Quentin's vision. However, I think that Quentin's very well meaning compliment began to blur the line too far, the line between De Niro and Luis, between De Niro and what he portrayed. Further than that would lead to a place where things could be too easily misunderstood. Yet it was so upstanding of him to sit for the interview to discuss the depths of the craft and the unsaid beauties of the trust and the way it all works together in the end. Incredible gem of an interview. As with everything Tarantino has a hand in, more than meets the eye.
80s just like 90's gave so many gems. Nowdays we have crappy commercial movies, full of CGI, weak plots and in general mediocre products, made just for the "crowd" and thinking to grab money first. ( i am still crying for that abomination of femminator: dark tanga )
Two abouslte ledgends i love the way quientin makes his movies his styles and the characters are jus awsome and bob is just a unique actor one of my favourite his perfromences in deer hunter, raging bull, godfather, goodfellas and casino are legit and i cant wait for hateful 8, i think de niro should play a role in quentins new film has a badass outlaw
De Niro always hates compliments. He shufffles around on his seat whenever he gets them. Why? Because despite being a humble guy, he knows it's the truth, but doesn't need to hear it. I love that.
Love from Japan. I am working on a film now. I never forget this interview. I started in Oakland California now I am in Osaka now. Let’s get it let’s gooo!

A lot of people have said that De Niro is very shy in real life.
He is very shy. But if you want to see him in a talkative mood check out "De Niro Meets Frankenstein".
yeah pacino, day lewis, and johnny depp have admitted they are shy socially awkward people
thanks for the upload, love these two :)
I was in that Allen Garfield class with Quentin back in 1986. (Interesting to watch him here with DeNiro as we both shared a great passion for "Mean Streets") The Actor's Shelter. A little place on Robertson Blvd. in Beverly Hills. We hung out, rehearsed and worked on a scene from Sam Shepard's "True West" which was a TRIP. Allen was quite the teacher. A friend. He LOVED Quentin. You knew from watching him perform some of the material he had written the guy had a gift. An American Original. Given this interview was 1997, he's made his mark as a MAJOR TALENT in film history. Solid body of work. In closing, I believe "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood" was the film he was destined to make. EPIC. Happy for QT.
I like how De Niro sabotaged his own legacy, in his later career. It's like when great painters take all their canvases into the garden and set fire to them.
DeNiro seems to be playing close to his real self in JB. Casing point, this interview. He's a soft spoken guy
Tomás Finn Jamieson *Case in point
Bobby De Soft-Spoken-Guy
9:27 classic De Niro response🤣
De Niro lindo, sempre foi.
The one qt movie I seen less than 8 times..maybe only once a long time ago..makes me want to see again...
Yeah, that really hit the spot!
Tarantino’s last movie has to feature all of these guy. Keitel, Kurt Russell, Sam Jackson, Leonardo, Pitt, Travolta, Pam Greer, Madson, Roth, Uma Therman... name any I forgot. It needs to be an all encompassing Tarantino ensemble.
Nunca vi o Tarantino tão calmo. Estou chocada!
When Ordell opens the trunk and shows him Chris Tucker's character... DeNiro's reaction... WOW!
Yeah me too. I think that's QT's sense of humor--this sort of obvious underplaying by the Lewis character
Bob seems so shy. I love & respect them both a GREAT deal. Both are also so handsome, even now they're still holding up. 💋
At 21:50 Rob checks his watch, just after Quentin says, "He was always Luis."
...

At 21:10 you can see him make eye contact with somebody out of frame. It's possible he's just staring intensely into the distance but he looks at the same spot throughout the interview. At 22:00 he makes eye contact with the same person again more decisively, directly after checking his watch. Then at 22:04 his eyes follow someone coming around to his right before ducking out of frame to the right at 22:10 when they whisper in his ear. The camera zooms in on Quentin to give De Niro privacy and from off camera De Niro announces his intention to leave the interview at 22:24.
I imagine De Niro was looking at a very pretty young woman with a clipboard and a watch of her own: his manager, agent or publicist. I think he wasn't at risk of missing a flight. He's fucking "Bob" De Niro! He owns the plane. Nay, I think he and his publicist were concerned about his image in relationship with the misogynistic villain he portrayed in the film. As he stated, he trusted Quentin very dearly, and trusted Quentin's sensibility, and that his portrayal of evil would work toward something greater in the whole of Quentin's vision. However, I think that Quentin's very well meaning compliment began to blur the line too far, the line between De Niro and Luis, between De Niro and what he portrayed. Further than that would lead to a place where things could be too easily misunderstood.
Yet it was so upstanding of him to sit for the interview to discuss the depths of the craft and the unsaid beauties of the trust and the way it all works together in the end.
Incredible gem of an interview. As with everything Tarantino has a hand in, more than meets the eye.
You know you're somebody big when you can call Robert de Niro "Bob".
You still have more work to do until calling him "Bobby", though. 😂😅
totally, I noticed that too! he always has a lot of energy and is pretty loud but not here. Perhaps because Deniro is quite himself.
Wow, Quentin kissed his cheek. Some bond
He was probably sitting there for the whole 20 minutes being stressed that he had a plane to catch.
80s just like 90's gave so many gems. Nowdays we have crappy commercial movies, full of CGI, weak plots and in general mediocre products, made just for the "crowd" and thinking to grab money first. ( i am still crying for that abomination of femminator: dark tanga )
Steve Schirippa is really right when he says that if De Niro doesnt have a script giving him his lines, he has nothing to say
Oh, really? Cool. Even for somebody his "size" it's pretty darn impressive how informed he is!
Could a Tarantino/Al Pacino movie ever happen?
He is in Quentin's new movie
Once Upon a Time In Hollywood
And Jackie Brown
I came from the future. You'll be surprise buddy
A fascinating case study in opposing personalities: Quentin the world's greatest yapper, and Bobby the personification of the Man of Few Words
Strange. Im watching this on August 26th 2017
De Niro's uncomfortable space case interview routine brings the whole room down
I love Tarantino. The interviewer sounds like Werner Herzog.
yeah okay thats a french guy moron
+SOBER LEECH Sounds like Frédéric Taddéi, a famous interviewer here, in France.
never seen this before. thank you!
Two abouslte ledgends i love the way quientin makes his movies his styles and the characters are jus awsome and bob is just a unique actor one of my favourite his perfromences in deer hunter, raging bull, godfather, goodfellas and casino are legit and i cant wait for hateful 8, i think de niro should play a role in quentins new film has a badass outlaw
Here, De Niro looks like his character in Awakenings.
I love you, Quentin.
Really fascinating your seeing two different personalities a shy person and an extrovert on the same couch
De Niro always hates compliments. He shufffles around on his seat whenever he gets them. Why? Because despite being a humble guy, he knows it's the truth, but doesn't need to hear it. I love that.
shut the fuck up with your corny ass comment
@@regidon793 🤣🤣
Looks like Robert DeNiro had difficulties handling Tarantino's joint. :) Thank you for the upload!
0:06 that Django zoom
3:00 slipped a few things in his time
