One the fewest books that I've read was the biography of John Ford. It was spectacular. The stories, The photos. To get to know his style of directing. The Way the studio system worked. Everything in that book was amazing.
@@MacIntoshMann it 's called John Ford Complete Filmography. On The cover of the Book it' s Henry Fonda Riding a horse on Monument Valley in The shooting of My Darling Clementine 1946. In the back of the book It's John Ford in his last Years. And The name of the book printing is TASCHEN.
It's not so much that he's pissed off at having to do another interview, I think it's more like early Hollywood directors like Ford and Hawks saw themselves as simply doing a job rather than being artists. It's almost an act, writing off any artistic intentions in his films. He was a great artist, but he wouldn't admit it.
This was what auteur really meant. Directors who worked within the system, and who outwardly did not portend to be artists. This persona gave Ford the freedom to explore artistically while also pleasing studio bosses.
This is a kind of hilarious. Here’s Peter trying to get something interesting and there’s Ford being super blunt over it, it’s fantastic. Great filmmaker.
Now remember this: When the horizon’s at the bottom, it’s interesting. When the horizon’s at the top, it’s interesting. When the horizon’s in the middle, it’s boring as shit.
You know seeing this makes me want to watch The Fabelmans so badly. I just wish there was an interview with John Ford and a young Steven Spielberg since he met the guy and loved his movies but here the late Peter Bogdanovich did a great job interviewing him.
@Brandon Loves The Movies The director of this documentary (Peter Bogdanovich) was friends with Mr. Ford. The later was known for his off color humor and sarcasm within his close friends. That is, Mr. Ford is obviously being more rude than normal specifically because Peter Bogdanovich is behind the camera
I miss this time. People were allowed to publicly be who they really were. No Drama, no "twitter cancel culture". Its a good reminder to live by your own values and not succumb to current trends
The way Ford answers questions is funnily similar to how Lynch answers questions, although Lynch does it more playfully. I can see Lynch answering that question at 0:16 similarly and those who know Lynch know he loves the two letter word at 0:47
Ford is cinema's greatest bullshitter - evades almost every question and is offended when called an artist, whilst totally ignoring the fact that he was the Golden Age's most self-consciously arty filmmaker by a good margin, and total show off to boot.
He was always gruff. But he personally filmed footage of D-Day and immediately went on a three day bender because of the carnage he saw, after which he was sent back to America. There was a reason why he was the way he was. I’m getting this from the series Five Came Back. Highly recommend it.
Those "questions" are awful though. I hate when journalists have to show off instead of trying to really ask open questions to understand the perspective of the person.
As an old Spanish song said, "I don't love you. Don't love me". Bogdanovich was much luckier when he interviewed the master for the biography he wrote about him, though!
Can't believe John Ford did this interview. The freaking horizon's in the middle.
Fabelmans ended with horizon in the middle. Isn't it? I watched it only once in theatres. I thought it was hilarious.
@@samuraiflixrockin At first it was in the middle. But then Spielberg breaks the fourth wall shoddily dragging it to the bottom.
@@UA-camKnight No. I saw it again! It was there in the top first, then spielberg, as you said, shoddily shifted the angle to put it exactly in the middle! 😁 That's the whole joke.
@@samuraiflixrockin I beg to differ my friend. The horizon was in the middle at the beginning and then shifted to the bottom.
@@UA-camKnight let me give you video evidence. Wait a min, please.
David Lynch NAILED that performance in "The Fabelmans".
Right down to the weird thing with the tongue. Is that a cigar thing or something?
@@samfilmkidNoticed the same, must be
It's astounding, lynch captured his persona perfectly
Lynch himself is a bit like this in interviews. When asked some long question about the interpretation of a scene and whether it’s at all correct, he just says, “No.” and leaves it at that.
Lynch is kindly evasive because he prefers mystery like his work. Ford just seems put out.
You can just feel the optimism oozing out of him.
Naw, man: that's raw charisma.
"How did you shoot that?"
"With a camera."
Well, he's right.
Similarly, he was once asked in an interview how he came to Hollywood. "By train," he replied.
@@johnelstad😂😂
Ford could be very funny.
Marvellous director.
Boy, he was in a good mood.
Caught him just right.
That's how he was. He was decades ahead of his time.
david lynch is perfect casting for this guy
David Lynch used the skinny guy from "The Searchers" in "Twin Peaks" as a Room Service butler and gave him some of he same lines for that show.
@@Valkonnen I didn't know that.
@Jaden Waz Lynch knocked it out of the park
@@Valkonnen skinny guy?

They did not learn John’s most important lesson: the horizon was in the middle!!!
At least the interview wasn’t boring as sh*t
Lol
Now get the fuck outta my office!
The Horizon is definitely not in the middle.
His shoulder is in the middle and the horizon is well above his shoulder
Ford saw the horizon in the middle and answered accordingly.
John Ford was not only a master in the art of cinema but also a master in the art of not giving a fuck.
I think he's just a difficult person
@@jesseowenvillamor6348 He most certainly was
But so were a lot of great filmmakers
Artists are on a different wavelength and cannot be bothered
@@Saturnia2014 And that's not an excuse
@@jesseowenvillamor6348 Why would he need an excuse to be that way? Prefer his no-nonsense way than fake politeness and "kindness."

Thanks for the info, bro. I'm gonna look up to that book 👌
Is that "Searching for John Ford" by Joseph McBride? I've had that one for a while but haven't read it yet.

Yeah, ahuh!
Good point. It wasn't his job to talk about movies.
Thats exactly how John Carpenter sounds in interviews. He doest spout off about the why, he just makes the decisions he feels make sense, I love it.
This was what auteur really meant. Directors who worked within the system, and who outwardly did not portend to be artists. This persona gave Ford the freedom to explore artistically while also pleasing studio bosses.
@@MAFion This is a galaxy-brain maneuver more directors should be aware of. Be a pragmatic poet.
@@evanmichaelpearce1367 John Carpenter is a lot nicer to the interviewer though.

Just like my dad😂

we can learn so much
Just clicked for the Fabelmans references. And I'm not disappointed.
Ooof that horizon in the middle.
This is just the way I imagine John Ford to be! It's hard to imagine that this is the man behind THE GRAPES OF WRATH, but... :)
You know seeing this makes me want to watch The Fabelmans so badly. I just wish there was an interview with John Ford and a young Steven Spielberg since he met the guy and loved his movies but here the late Peter Bogdanovich did a great job interviewing him.
There is. The scene is sublime and David Lynch is amazing in the role.
"With a camera."
Ironically, the horizon in this shot was in the middle.
Real Manly Men.
But the truth is the man who was warmer than anyone.
The horizon is in the middle.
Spielberg wasnt exaggerating....Geeez

The horizon was “in the middle”
When the horizon is in the middle, is boring as shit!
Now get the fuck out of my office!
This is about as fun as that last Jerry Lewis interview.
I'll say.
David lynch nailed that impression
Horizon is in the middle on this one.
EL MAS GRANDE!!!!❤❤❤❤
YEA AHA
Fascinating man, somebody should have asked him where he got his ideas from
I bet even more people will be looking for this documentary now thanks to The Fabelmans.
A man of many words.

i laughed so hard when peter said how did you shoot it and ford said with a camera lol fuck that was funny
Genius don't care about those things, they just work hard for whatever they believe...I couldn't help laughing watching the interview
Difficult to generalize about "geniuses," eh? Some may, indeed, care about "those things." Others, not. What do we know?
@@princeandrey agreed.
That's just his personality, nothing here is about him being a genius or not.
the horizon is in the middle...ford not approve.
he is exactly like David Lynch
I love his personality as much as his movies ❤❤
I hate his personality but i love his movies
His personality is dreadful 😂
Noooooo, the horizons in the middle!!!!
Wow! Spielberg made the perfect choice 👍🏽
Great interview, they really bounce off each other!
So informative. He says it all with the films. Watch them and learn.
Bravo, Mr. Ford! 👍👊👏😂
"no,no,no,no, NO!"
So extatic to be interviewed!
I'd like to think this is exactly how John Ford would've conducted himself if he were interrogated by the FBI.
Ford liked and respected Bogdanovich.
John Ford playing David Lynch
the horizon is in the middle so its boring
The Master shuts down the know-it-all kid....EPIC.
FACT Bill Belichick Graduated from the Admiral John Ford School of How to Respond to Interviewers
The title is wrong, it should be 'Film School in One Minute and Twenty Six Seconds.'
It's like an Andy Warhol interview - I love it
Ford is cinema's greatest bullshitter - evades almost every question and is offended when called an artist, whilst totally ignoring the fact that he was the Golden Age's most self-consciously arty filmmaker by a good margin, and total show off to boot.
What a fucking answer.
Ask a stupid question you get a stupid answer....Ford's law!
He sat down for the interview, what an ingrate
how did you find this? excellent! John Ford IS a real cowboy.
LOVE IT THANKS FOR POSTING

Didn't he always go on a three day bender after wrapping up a shoot?
@@bluesrocker91 I don’t know, but apparently the one after D-Day was so bad that it got him immediately discharged.
mike tyson interview style
Just realized this was bagdonavich lol Tough interview
He makes John Carpenter seem verbose!
Lynch nailed it for sure!
Those "questions" are awful though. I hate when journalists have to show off instead of trying to really ask open questions to understand the perspective of the person.
I am here
Great interview :)
He was brilliant and a curmudgeon.
hahaha! love it.
Ford should have said "With a camera and a crew of over one hundred."
that sounds stupid. You should write for the big bang theory.
I don’t think you could have found a better casting for Ford than David Lynch.
Horizons in the middle......"boring as SHIT!"
Yeap, AJAAA!
put the camera right there,!!!!!!!!!
I wonder if Spielberg ever saw this interview and just laughed his ass off
thx pat
Hahahaha he's so funny!
Silver tongued devil wasn’t he
Is there on you tube the entire documentary? I cannot find it...
The Ritchie Blackmore of picture makers.
the horizons in the middle
: If any of you people know anything about people from Maine, this is how we normally answer questions.
Wow! He's a badass 😎
Taught Hugh Grant how to handle interviews
Sweet guy
Mr Ford, can you please elaborate on the finer details of the magic of movie making?
Ford: (chomps cigar) f@#k off.
Cut
As an old Spanish song said, "I don't love you. Don't love me".
Bogdanovich was much luckier when he interviewed the master for the biography he wrote about him, though!
0:17 how john ford shoots his movies
Jesus Christ this comments section. Here we go again. The Fablemans did to John Ford what Whiplash did to jazz drummers.
What a nice guy!
Auteur theory of the "Nouvelle Vague" & Pauline Kael. But is it the last word on movie making? Which is --at best--highly collaborative.
People like to THINK that they don’t give a shit,,,, but this guy,,,, THIS guy did NOT Give A Shit….. 💀
Did John Ford actually call out "cuts" and "rolls," while filming motion pictures? That's usually the First AD's job.
Might've gotten along well w/ coach Bill Belichick😁
Don't waste my time young man !...
