any good black actor besides him could have pulled it off . this man is crazy , he's saying you shouldn't fight violence with violence, but with love ...during slavery in the US ??? really?? 😂
Dude..you’re way off. The WILD WILD WEST comment was a dig, not an empathetic retort. Samuel is passively aggressively digging at Will for having valued a cash grab Turkey but turning down a film that had much more credible artistic intent. Will saying “Exactly” is his way of knowing that Sam called him out on his BS.
Will Smith is one of the biggest "phonies" in Hollywood. Every interview he has to talk like, what he's saying is so meaningful and important... Instead of referencing the wild wild west, Sam couldv'e said, "oh sut the fuck up", and still be appropriate.
He wasn’t being empathetic when he mentioned “Wild Wild West” He was poking fun at him for making that movie since it was a flop. Basically saying “well you made Wild Wild West but you were too good for Django” it was a jab
Sam L Jackson jabbed him the entire time. He even laughed when Will said he didn't want to be cheated on again. It's like Sam knew Will's life was a joke.
I think both can be true - Will Smith often is open about it as a running, self-deprecating, if quite dated now, joke. And with the way Will Smith normally operates (Pre-Slap), Smith was in an awkward corner trying to answer that question, fumbling about, so with both the nonsense 'Love story' verbiage and later, Samuel L. Jackson was providing him an 'out' in the way of release valve. Interrupting can tend to be rude, but there's instances when you are under pressure to respond and an interruption from an ally or even just generally, to break up that pressure, even distract from that attention, can be welcome relief. Certainly that second moment, with the Wild Wild West Samuel L. did him a favour there - even IF it was a nice 'gentle jab' and lols - that 'It was just a gentle one' is a reference now, re: Chris Rock post-joke, pre-slap moment. :p Also, the other jabs can be seen as a friend keeping another friend's ego or getting carried away, in-check - Smith is one prone to getting himself in tangles even kind of foot in mouth in that sense of PC tango and spun nonsense like barely related to Django, 'love story' divergence he was under-taking. Without that interruption, Smith is one prone, the centre-of-attention chatter-box he can tend to be on camera, to talking the table out of the room, so to speak.
i guess im asking the wrong place but does anybody know of a way to log back into an instagram account?? I stupidly forgot my login password. I would appreciate any help you can give me!
@Branson Kody Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im trying it out now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
The problem with all these body language guru type's and Body language UA-cam channels is that they forget how to act natural and just be themselves because they are constantly thinking and overanalyzing how others perceive them. The real difference between a body language dweeb and someone whose actually confident, Is that confident people are just themselves they don't really care about how others perceive them. Look at how relaxed Samuel Jackson is, He's just calm cool and collected. UA-cam has become a hotbed for overanalyzing things that used to be natural and effortless back in the day. The only difference between a confident person and an awkward person, Is that confident people don't overanalyze every situation they are in when it comes to the way they are perceived by the general public. They just go with the flow and adjust accordingly in the moment. Whereas awkward people are way too wrapped up in how other perceive them, And they try to send out this false sense of confidence which ends up completely backfiring on them because they don't truly belief in themselves. Confidence is not caring what others think in the moment becuase deep down you have enough self belief and inner certainty that your inner certainty completely overrides the opinions that other people have about you in the moment.
I think it's educational analyzing body language. But if you're coming from a insecure position, that much more knowledge would only hurt you, because you obviously don't even know enough about yourself. Otherwise studying body language and analyzing communication should be a never ending challenge to help understand each other
I’m thinking maybe Will Smith hunched forward just because that’s how he laughs whenever he’s sitting, like how Chris Evans usually leans back whenever he laughs
There is a whole section of society that believes that is just as necessary as wearing pants. These are the people who think using a combover to conceal their baldness is an act of politeness toward others.
An easy way Will could have said all the bullshit he was saying was, "eh, the film didn't fit my image at the time." That's an honest answer. Everyone knows Will Smith is safe. That's a secret to no one on earth. Or he could have said, "I was trying to negotiate the story with Quinton and we just couldn't agree on anything. But I still love the film."
He could have been really PC and said he didn't want to play a character using racial language. That he respects the craft and performances but it was a personal decision.
I think I've heard a story where DiCaprio's first day on set he was knocking it out the park cause of the language Sam Jackson told him, "this is just another Tuesday for me."
I watched this interview a couple months ago and this interaction popped out to me aswell, but I had a different focus to it. I felt like everything Samuel said highlighted how pointless everything that Will said was. Exposed Will's flaw, which is he cares way too much about people liking him. He turned down Django because he takes his roles as a reflection of himself and his personal character, and was too scared to be a part of that "controversial". And when Sam said "no I don't mind violence in movies...its just acting.." it was like it crushed all of Will's philosophy and reasons he said he didn't take the role, it didn't feel like he was helping Will at all, he was calmly, and nicely, calling him out. You can tell that Samuel doesn't respect Will that much anymore, but doesn't wish him harm. You can also see how hard it is for Will to be truly under the gun. He doesn't normally share the spot light with people, so this whole situation with all these esteemed actors, and tough questions, was really hard for him. I'm not trying to hate on Will though, I appreciate him as an actor and family man trying to keep him family together. Much love to the Fresh Prince.
@@Shay45 true there's no way to know for sure short of asking Samuel L Jackson himself in private.

OMG. Great breakdown. I think Will would connect well with Sams guidance. I saw the same things. Will is emotionally driven and Sam can disconnect emotionally. Being direct or strategic, while maintaining his charm. (Who knew that this would play a part in the Grammy event - Will has access to two of the best actors of our time Sam/Denzel)
Will Smith is far too often his own worst enemy. Takes himself far too seriously. Even Pacino doesn't take himself as seriously. He's talented as f'k, but his inflated opinion of himself and his beliefs has held back his career significantly. He's rich, successful, famous and I'm sure very happy so what do I know, but Samuel clearly knows what's up.
He does take himself too seriously. Look at what he did with the reboot of Bel Air. He literally remade a HEARTFELT comedy into an edgy art project. If he did it for fun's sake, there wouldn't be a problem. Thing is he takes it way too seriously and wants people to take that seriously too. It's like having a laugh here and there is a crime in Will Smith's eyes. If you don't take everything seriously all the time, you're basically a piece of shit.
@@daoyang223 you truly nailed it. As you can see I wrote my initial comment a while before the Oscars, and I was right about everything apart from him being happy, he's clearly not f'kn happy. I'd feel sorry for the guy if I wasn't struggling and grinding my ass off every single day to pay my mortgage, and if he wasn't so far up his own and his wife's ass. He literally said he's a protector, defender of all the women, on a path from God to bring light to his people, right after publically destroying his and his wife's collective image. If they are scientologists then they must be the sacrificial lambs.
i lean forward and laugh like that when i agree with someone or understand their joke. for me it’s like an understandment gesture. never thought about it as hostille
Will Smith is the kind of guy who will turn down "Django Unchained", but accept "Aladin". No wonder his wife got in an "entanglement" with their sons friend.
I think it's obvious that Will Smith has issues with certain themes, language and tone. Nothing wrong with that. It's very possible that when he is much older is willing to take risky roles. Besides Will Smith can be a good actor in certain roles but he is not that versatile. And he is aware of that. That should be commended.
This aged well. Will didn't know what the f to say. Sam was being super sarcastic. Edit: Just wait until they start showing that movie where Will had that gay scene. Whew boi
The character django didn't seek to behave violent he was in a violent hostile situation and if he didn't respond as such he would of been killed. Example: George Floyd no one shot the officer who intentionally meant to kill him and other officers allowed it so the action of non violence took him to his death. Is that what will is saying? You can't bring a knife to a gun fight will.
@NotBLD when samual L jackson says this ( 2:44 ) it is an aggressive attack referencing the film "wild wild west". pointing out the contradiction in what will is saying. S.L.jackson feels personally attacked for his part of Jango by what will is saying hence his defending his part in that film by attacking will.
I’m not saying I knew exactly what was goin on, but I definitely pick up on this stuff aaaalll the time. I’m good about not jumping to conclusions but the things I’ve seen that were told by a persons body language prior to me seeing proof of the suspicion, is insane.
The bottom line: they are actors. They only act in movies and cannot be equated with their movie characters. In private life, they can be boring, irresponsible, aggressive, snobbish, etc. Treating them as better than other people is misunderstanding.
Are you kidding me off course ill subscribe lol. This channel is wonderful and highly important for the world and those around you not only for yourself being able to read others better but also be to know, is the other person you're with comfortable?; or should i shut the hell up i mean the way you talk to people. I love it thank you for taking the time to share your teachings. I will come to class now whenever there is a fresh video ❤
You could not of read that more wrong… I think Jackson had his eyebrow raised whilst listening to Smith - thinking what rubbish are you babbling about smith, then he reveals his mild contempt for Smith by throwing a shot to undermine Smith for his ‘love waffle’ by reminding him he did Wild Wild West. Thank goodness Smith didn’t do Django - he would of ruined it.
You read this perfectly. Sam was not being empathetic. He was calling ".B.S" on the reason Will gave for turning down Django Unchained. And then when Will says that Love is the answer and never violence...that rings hollow when you think about him attacking Chris Rock on live televsion.
Will made himself a product. Now he's stuck being the product and not a human. When you make your character your identity you lose who you are. This is what happened to Miley Cyrus until she dropped her ego. Will's ego is far too big to accept his own human emotions.
The getting back your wife thing takes on a new light after she admits on her show to cheating. As a father myself nobody is perfect, but who is he really trying to be a role model for? His kids are... unconventional, he doesn't have to be a straight-laced rapper in the face of gangsta rap any longer and his "audience", career and character range could handle a Django type character and outright NEEDS it honestly. It's not the late 90s, we all grew up and he isn't changing, so I guess he's waiting for the next round of teens, tweens and twinks to rediscover his catalog?
His daughter literally started writing pop punk tracks and his wife used to be a metal vocalist. The fact that Will Smith is trying to hold on to that "straight laced - rapper in the face of gangsta rap" is him trying to hold on to any sense of "swag" in his persona as... himself. He's a dad now, like you said, he doesn't need to be like that anymore, plus his kids are unconventional (and so is his wife of course). Even F.D Signifier (Black youtuber) has said that the whole caricature of "gangsta" in rap is all just to sell the persona so they can sell the music and merchandise. There really aren't any more "gangstas" in rap anymore. Ice Cube, Snoop, and many other's (especially MC Eiht) have moved on from that lifestyle in the classic rap era because that's just not how one should live life. Will Smith is a child mentally and he holds on to that because he so desperately needs to be in the middle of everything, getting everyone's attention and being the only one that matters. He's a narcissist for lack of a better word. If you watch his Bel Air reboot; it shows. The fact that he remade Will in the show to be the "CHOSEN ONE" type character who is meant to fix all the problems. It's really just become a White Savior origin story but about Will and in the modern day with current politics. Will really wrote self insert fan fiction into a show that he made successful 30 years ago to try and make himself feel good. When he could have just, you know, open up music schools for poor children, pay for scholarships for White and Black people (Asians and Mexicans too of course), or fed the hungry children. Will Smith is trying to be that type of guy who feels SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER than you and everyone else without doing any of the work. WIll Smith wishes he was Akon... Akon literally built a career in Western countries and then took his riches, went back to his homeland, and built cities and endowed the local people with knowledge and necessities. Suddenly no one's starving, people are working, and clean water is abundant. Such a power move from Akon.
I feel like his reputation and entire career is on the downward spiral but I don't blame anybody but him and his wife. he was fine being Will Smith the movie legend, hip hop legend and just multitalented mogul and know it's like watching an ig model without any filter when you have only seen them through it. it's not a good look, I used to enjoy watching his videos on motivation but now I'm thinking maybe he doesn't know what he's talking,g about. it's like when they say never meet your heroes, I'm so disappointed
The N-word thing I don’t believe is why he turned it down. He’s in bad boys where he throws that word around casually loads. It’s very strange he didn’t want to do that movie tbh. But like someone else below said he turned down Matrix and said yes to After Earth so who knows what goes through his head when he looks at roles. Maybe the paycheque wasn’t as big as he wanted it to be.
He mostly looks for franchises to do films in so he can set up his family for it. He did After Earth so he can set up Jaden for the franchise but it didn't do well. Look at Bright. He wanted that to be a franchise too. He wanted a steady paycheck. Playing it SAFE is literally Will Smith's attitude towards movies. So I dont think the N word was also the reason he turned it down
I get that Will is not generally into violence. But he has been a Bad Boy three times over. He's Hancock. He's DeadShot. That "anti-violence" excuse doesn't hold up. It's clear he had an awkward moment here and probably internally realized he was contradicting himself. Sitting across from someone as infamous for outspoken brutal honesty as Sam L in a moment like this is bound to put someone like Will on edge. No one wants to be called out on a misspeak by their gansta uncle who's gonna put them on blast LOL
I also think he didn't want to do the film due to just the way he feels too. I have a feeling Django was too edgy and real for him. Django is literally a slave who becomes free and gets his come uppance. Not to mention he gets his wife back. Lots of actual history thrown in and lots of racial tension wasn't really for him Then you have Bright which is a fantasy setting about racism............. against orcs and elves and things that don't exist. I have a feeling he's not really into the whole realism of Quentin Tarantino's films because QT loves to write realistic stories with bits of comical elements. That's just my take. I mean he also didn't want to do Matrix, but we all know he liked to play it safe. So there's a whole dynamic there.
Will said he didn’t take the Django roll because he didn’t understand all the violence Quentin used in the film he wanted it more of a love story. So when the host questions Samuel on the violence then Will feels responsible for Samuel being on the end of these controversial, uncomfortable topics which get a rise out of people
3:27 also everything after this point is part of an attempt to get SLJ and WS to engage in a conversation about blackness. a conversation WS has been thinking about the whole time, a conversation he fears. SLJ is cool and collected. WS is a show pony that has no credibility and will is hyper aware of that fact when faced with Samuel. but i love you and your channel im a huge fan keep doing what your doing your an inspiration. i just want to contribute to your skills and add my (hopefully useful) opinion
@@jurmynicohen202 not in terms of blackness. will has for years been the "typical white western families" idea of a black man doing anything to be more commercially available. he isn't regarded as proper black culture anymore not from a hiphop point of view. where as sam is and he aint even rapped before
This explains the basis of Will Smiths problem. His explanation of the violence vs love outlook of the movie, says that he has a feminine view of the world.
What I heard was it wasn’t about the story. It was Christoph Waltz character has just as many lines snd was a co-lead and he wanted to be the only lead. Tarantino was like no it’s my script and you both are co-leads. Will said hmmm, nah I don’t want to do it then.
Whatever happened to studying and being an expert in your field, nowadays just blatantly throwing random descriptions and details in a well made video pushes that narrative. You gotta be masterclass so you don’t overlook the small things, but I still liked the vid tho lol
The ending seems to me that the question was planned to get will and jackson to "argue". Then theyd have a good headline. Maybe will was processing this and because sam showed empathy will was more willing to sit back and think rather than be hostile and fall for the trap. I think this is huge on a larger scale. For the world ot sets a great example.
Tarantino writes films with a lot of dynamics. I think Samuel L Jackson is insulted by the fact that any actor (will smith in this instant) would think they know direction better than Tarantino.
If you know Will, he always leans forward when laughing and sometimes slapping his hand on the table, he also stutters here and there. Nothing about this so called 'body language' video had anything special to do with it. He's been like this since his teenager age.
Man, Jamie Fox made a much better Django than Will Smith ever could have. Glad he said no

He does take himself too seriously. Look at what he did with the reboot of Bel Air. He literally remade a HEARTFELT comedy into an edgy art project. If he did it for fun's sake, there wouldn't be a problem. Thing is he takes it way too seriously and wants people to take that seriously too.
It's like having a laugh here and there is a crime in Will Smith's eyes. If you don't take everything seriously all the time, you're basically a piece of shit.
@@daoyang223 you truly nailed it. As you can see I wrote my initial comment a while before the Oscars, and I was right about everything apart from him being happy, he's clearly not f'kn happy. I'd feel sorry for the guy if I wasn't struggling and grinding my ass off every single day to pay my mortgage, and if he wasn't so far up his own and his wife's ass.
He literally said he's a protector, defender of all the women, on a path from God to bring light to his people, right after publically destroying his and his wife's collective image. If they are scientologists then they must be the sacrificial lambs.
Please keep making videos!!!! They are super interesting and done so well, can’t wait for your next!☺️
Love Samuel L. Jackson!! Get him!
i lean forward and laugh like that when i agree with someone or understand their joke. for me it’s like an understandment gesture. never thought about it as hostille
It’s asserting sigma male dominance.
That moderator is the worst. “There’s a little tension in the room, let’s bring up the n word”
Will wants to be the "Fairy Tale Hero" in all his movies.
Wow Samuel L. Jackson is so collected, he's not nervous Infront of cameras like Will Smith. You heard Will's nervousness in his own voice
I read this entire situation COMPLETELY different
Will Smith is the kind of guy who will turn down "Django Unchained", but accept "Aladin". No wonder his wife got in an "entanglement" with their sons friend.
Yeah, I'm sure his wife cheated on him for the same weird reason you would have cheated on him...
Bring this series back!
I think it's obvious that Will Smith has issues with certain themes, language and tone. Nothing wrong with that. It's very possible that when he is much older is willing to take risky roles. Besides Will Smith can be a good actor in certain roles but he is not that versatile. And he is aware of that. That should be commended.
Dude you got something here, I seriously hope you keep going.
This is reupload. Not his.
Better than I expected, great job!
This aged well. Will didn't know what the f to say. Sam was being super sarcastic.
Edit: Just wait until they start showing that movie where Will had that gay scene. Whew boi
Will Smith had a classic "See, what had happened was..." moment.
Ugh, i loved this, seeing my man Sam Jackson seem so chill and in control.
Leaning in can also be, yes I’m listening, doesn’t have to be seen as aggressive.
It’s not that deep
The character django didn't seek to behave violent he was in a violent hostile situation and if he didn't respond as such he would of been killed.
Example: George Floyd no one shot the officer who intentionally meant to kill him and other officers allowed it so the action of non violence took him to his death. Is that what will is saying? You can't bring a knife to a gun fight will.
Clever channel ... keep going. Expand beyond celebrity
Over-analyzing on the Spectrum LOL
A bunch of Hollywood actors sitting together's gotta be awkward. Can't tell who's being fake. The fake laughs by Will were strange.
@NotBLD when samual L jackson says this ( 2:44 ) it is an aggressive attack referencing the film "wild wild west". pointing out the contradiction in what will is saying. S.L.jackson feels personally attacked for his part of Jango by what will is saying hence his defending his part in that film by attacking will.
I appreciate you man
I’m not saying I knew exactly what was goin on, but I definitely pick up on this stuff aaaalll the time. I’m good about not jumping to conclusions but the things I’ve seen that were told by a persons body language prior to me seeing proof of the suspicion, is insane.
Will Smith's decision to not do Django has nothing to do with love.
Will is a good dude but if think he struggles a lot with the overthinking in interviews... he wants to stay charming in every answer... 😅
Interesting and here we are full circle.
The bottom line: they are actors. They only act in movies and cannot be equated with their movie characters. In private life, they can be boring, irresponsible, aggressive, snobbish, etc. Treating them as better than other people is misunderstanding.
Are you kidding me off course ill subscribe lol. This channel is wonderful and highly important for the world and those around you not only for yourself being able to read others better but also be to know, is the other person you're with comfortable?; or should i shut the hell up i mean the way you talk to people. I love it thank you for taking the time to share your teachings. I will come to class now whenever there is a fresh video ❤
nah will smith is just getting roasted not becoming buddies
I watched this entire round table & there were definitely a few moments when Will was just completely uncomfortable and putting his foot in his mouth
i wonder if actors get annoyed at this, people critiquing his every move
You could not of read that more wrong…
I think Jackson had his eyebrow raised whilst listening to Smith - thinking what rubbish are you babbling about smith, then he reveals his mild contempt for Smith by throwing a shot to undermine Smith for his ‘love waffle’ by reminding him he did Wild Wild West.
Thank goodness Smith didn’t do Django - he would of ruined it.
You read this perfectly. Sam was not being empathetic. He was calling ".B.S" on the reason Will gave for turning down Django Unchained. And then when Will says that Love is the answer and never violence...that rings hollow when you think about him attacking Chris Rock on live televsion.
Great Analysis, keep going
Will made himself a product. Now he's stuck being the product and not a human. When you make your character your identity you lose who you are. This is what happened to Miley Cyrus until she dropped her ego. Will's ego is far too big to accept his own human emotions.
The getting back your wife thing takes on a new light after she admits on her show to cheating. As a father myself nobody is perfect, but who is he really trying to be a role model for? His kids are... unconventional, he doesn't have to be a straight-laced rapper in the face of gangsta rap any longer and his "audience", career and character range could handle a Django type character and outright NEEDS it honestly. It's not the late 90s, we all grew up and he isn't changing, so I guess he's waiting for the next round of teens, tweens and twinks to rediscover his catalog?
His daughter literally started writing pop punk tracks and his wife used to be a metal vocalist.
The fact that Will Smith is trying to hold on to that "straight laced - rapper in the face of gangsta rap" is him trying to hold on to any sense of "swag" in his persona as... himself. He's a dad now, like you said, he doesn't need to be like that anymore, plus his kids are unconventional (and so is his wife of course).
Even F.D Signifier (Black youtuber) has said that the whole caricature of "gangsta" in rap is all just to sell the persona so they can sell the music and merchandise. There really aren't any more "gangstas" in rap anymore. Ice Cube, Snoop, and many other's (especially MC Eiht) have moved on from that lifestyle in the classic rap era because that's just not how one should live life.
Will Smith is a child mentally and he holds on to that because he so desperately needs to be in the middle of everything, getting everyone's attention and being the only one that matters. He's a narcissist for lack of a better word.
If you watch his Bel Air reboot; it shows. The fact that he remade Will in the show to be the "CHOSEN ONE" type character who is meant to fix all the problems. It's really just become a White Savior origin story but about Will and in the modern day with current politics. Will really wrote self insert fan fiction into a show that he made successful 30 years ago to try and make himself feel good. When he could have just, you know, open up music schools for poor children, pay for scholarships for White and Black people (Asians and Mexicans too of course), or fed the hungry children.
Will Smith is trying to be that type of guy who feels SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER than you and everyone else without doing any of the work. WIll Smith wishes he was Akon...
Akon literally built a career in Western countries and then took his riches, went back to his homeland, and built cities and endowed the local people with knowledge and necessities. Suddenly no one's starving, people are working, and clean water is abundant. Such a power move from Akon.
I feel like his reputation and entire career is on the downward spiral but I don't blame anybody but him and his wife. he was fine being Will Smith the movie legend, hip hop legend and just multitalented mogul and know it's like watching an ig model without any filter when you have only seen them through it. it's not a good look, I used to enjoy watching his videos on motivation but now I'm thinking maybe he doesn't know what he's talking,g about. it's like when they say never meet your heroes, I'm so disappointed
I dont think the movie would have relayed onto everyone like it did if a single character was changed....Jamie Fox OWNED that role!!
i feel like the leaning observation is totally a reach, & over analyzarion, but u mentioned a lot that i hadnymt caught at all. on point vid dude.
Love this drama. Started noticing cues from people I meet as well as myself.
Keep doing these bro you’ll be huge I promise. Just be careful not to get your channel striked. Your the best body language expert on UA-cam
These are reuploads because the original creator disappeared suddenly.
Please do more of these for Hollywood sitdowns
Will Smith is also saying I do have a choice 🤔
Can you please upload the episode of Jacob batalon's interview
“Chrismatic?”
How about “charismatic.”
This is very 'curtains are blue' type stuff.
Will smiths body language is all over the place
The N-word thing I don’t believe is why he turned it down. He’s in bad boys where he throws that word around casually loads. It’s very strange he didn’t want to do that movie tbh. But like someone else below said he turned down Matrix and said yes to After Earth so who knows what goes through his head when he looks at roles. Maybe the paycheque wasn’t as big as he wanted it to be.
He mostly looks for franchises to do films in so he can set up his family for it.
He did After Earth so he can set up Jaden for the franchise but it didn't do well.
Look at Bright. He wanted that to be a franchise too. He wanted a steady paycheck. Playing it SAFE is literally Will Smith's attitude towards movies.
So I dont think the N word was also the reason he turned it down
Who’s here after “The Slap”? 👀
what happen
Gotta love Samuel Jackson.
Throw me a lifejacket
Need more of this u should check out sopranos interviews .. I bet that will get a lot of views
Bruh Sam Jack wasn't showing Emphathy . He was calling him out 😅
I get that Will is not generally into violence. But he has been a Bad Boy three times over. He's Hancock. He's DeadShot. That "anti-violence" excuse doesn't hold up. It's clear he had an awkward moment here and probably internally realized he was contradicting himself. Sitting across from someone as infamous for outspoken brutal honesty as Sam L in a moment like this is bound to put someone like Will on edge. No one wants to be called out on a misspeak by their gansta uncle who's gonna put them on blast LOL
I also think he didn't want to do the film due to just the way he feels too.
I have a feeling Django was too edgy and real for him. Django is literally a slave who becomes free and gets his come uppance. Not to mention he gets his wife back.
Lots of actual history thrown in and lots of racial tension wasn't really for him
Then you have Bright which is a fantasy setting about racism............. against orcs and elves and things that don't exist. I have a feeling he's not really into the whole realism of Quentin Tarantino's films because QT loves to write realistic stories with bits of comical elements.
That's just my take. I mean he also didn't want to do Matrix, but we all know he liked to play it safe. So there's a whole dynamic there.
Man this just dropped a bomb on me damnnn yall on it
Can someone give me the kindergartener's explanation as to what's going on here? How did Smith's behavior lead to that question?
Will said he didn’t take the Django roll because he didn’t understand all the violence Quentin used in the film he wanted it more of a love story. So when the host questions Samuel on the violence then Will feels responsible for Samuel being on the end of these controversial, uncomfortable topics which get a rise out of people
3:27 also everything after this point is part of an attempt to get SLJ and WS to engage in a conversation about blackness. a conversation WS has been thinking about the whole time, a conversation he fears. SLJ is cool and collected. WS is a show pony that has no credibility and will is hyper aware of that fact when faced with Samuel.
but i love you and your channel im a huge fan keep doing what your doing your an inspiration.
i just want to contribute to your skills and add my (hopefully useful) opinion
WS has no credibility??
@@jurmynicohen202 not in terms of blackness. will has for years been the "typical white western families" idea of a black man doing anything to be more commercially available. he isn't regarded as proper black culture anymore not from a hiphop point of view. where as sam is and he aint even rapped before
@@charliechalk2554 Blantantly gatekeeping an entire race
@@wrequiem1727 snowflake. there is a 100% chance your white
im breaking down body language, with a knowledge of who both men are and how they are portrayed in culture. I've grown up in that culture you fool
This explains the basis of Will Smiths problem. His explanation of the violence vs love outlook of the movie, says that he has a feminine view of the world.
I like how you watch a UA-camr you have a profession with body language and all the sudden you think you do too LMAO
Honestly I thank God he turned down both Django and The Matrix ....
What I heard was it wasn’t about the story. It was Christoph Waltz character has just as many lines snd was a co-lead and he wanted to be the only lead. Tarantino was like no it’s my script and you both are co-leads. Will said hmmm, nah I don’t want to do it then.
Good breakdown. But did you mean charismatic?
Nice UA-cam channel 👍 Great Information 5 🌟
Whatever happened to studying and being an expert in your field, nowadays just blatantly throwing random descriptions and details in a well made video pushes that narrative. You gotta be masterclass so you don’t overlook the small things, but I still liked the vid tho lol
This video slaps
You did a great 👍 job
The ending seems to me that the question was planned to get will and jackson to "argue". Then theyd have a good headline. Maybe will was processing this and because sam showed empathy will was more willing to sit back and think rather than be hostile and fall for the trap. I think this is huge on a larger scale. For the world ot sets a great example.
I think SLJ would make a great director cos he's no nonsense and can read people like a book.
2:15 “chrismatic”
He gives love with slapping.
Tx God SLJ called him out on this bullshit explanation...imagine arguing with Tarantino on the direction.
Tarantino writes films with a lot of dynamics. I think Samuel L Jackson is insulted by the fact that any actor (will smith in this instant) would think they know direction better than Tarantino.
Will Smith still doesn’t know who he is.
I disagree, he knows who he is. He's a nice guy.
I also disagree, you don't k ow who will is!
*Listened to Smith's book. This dude said he was the biggest movie star in the world...about 15 times.*
Will Smith comes across as if he talk BS often in interviews!!!!
2 years ago??
R u going to upload? U ok?
If you know Will, he always leans forward when laughing and sometimes slapping his hand on the table, he also stutters here and there. Nothing about this so called 'body language' video had anything special to do with it. He's been like this since his teenager age.
Well he love to slap not only tables!
Hey Tyler can you please make more content I think you are really on to important social observations and it's fastinating
"Violence begets violence" *slaps Chris Rock for making a joke about his wife's hairstyle
See? Sam Jackson can be a mother fucking role model!
Will wasn't let off any hook, and the commentary did get the wild wild west joke/exchange at all.
I no issue with Will but Sam is a true actor. He plays the part in the script.
