- In this session, Academy Award-nominated writer/director/producer Nancy Meyers (whose works include The Holiday, The Parent Trap, and Father of the Bride, among others) discusses the process of making the film Something's Gotta Give (2003). Moderated by Winnie Holzman and Robin Schiff. Filmed on March 31, 2010.
Would have been nice to have heard more of Nancy and less of the interviewers...just ask a direct question, then let the master writer/director/producer speak!! After all, that's what we were all hoping for...less of them and more of Nancy. I never knew until about the time The Holiday came out that Nancy was the mastermind of every one of my all time favorite movies outside of those beautiful old classics of the Cary Grant, Kathrine Hepburn, Claudette Colbert era. Love, love, love every one of Nancy's movies!! Can watch over and over and still be laughing in spite of knowing what's coming up.
100% agree re interviewers doing way too much of the talking AND that I watch and rewatch her films.
I rarely leave comments on UA-cam, but this is just infuriating. Those two ladies are horrendous. That's not how an interview is supposed to go. You can't be a groupie. You can't have one of the greatest screenwriters and directors on stage for 2h and interrupt her at every second. This entire interview was so disrespectful. Such a shame!
What a great series. So much detail. Obviously a very clever creative detailed screenwriter. So disciplined. Thank you.
Could we edit out these women, and just have this post again with JUST NANCY? That would be GREAT.
Around 1:38, Ms. Meyers talks about everything isn't dialogue. When I lived in Taiwan, I told people who were trying to improv their English that TV is better than movies because with movies you need to understand what is going on between the words.
Lubitsch and Preston Sturges were supposed to act out parts for the actors too but the performances come out perfectly. When I watch her films and hadn't yet explored anything about her, I had the sense, which she confirms, that she loves watching classical Hollywood. To me, her style captures the true essence of what made that era shine.
Hard to watch this, stomach in knots from the uncomfortable friction among the three. Fan of Ms. Meyer's work and interested in her answers. Trying to stick it out.
Yes, agreed. The chemistry is weird. The interview doesn't flow somehow.
At 1:20, they discuss at what point things should happen in a good script. I remember in the 1980s, I would complain that I'd go see a movie and a half-hour into it, I still didn't know what it was about or who were the characters.
1:27:40 sorry im marking a time stamp for me
Nancy look alike at diane keaton
This Interview. Yikes.
this is really annoying. moderators need to shut their mouths. they are in front of a legend and she doesn't do that many interviews. I want to scream SHUT UP!!!
dark haired moderator talks more than subject. she needs to study good interviewers and how they are done. she seems out of control - needy - to demonstrate to us how much she understands. someone get her a sedative. too bad nancy can't be a mute who just nods. exasperating. dying to hear nancy......
she is not comfortable breaking down the movie like this, as I writer I understand that because it's like love you know it but you can't explain it.
Let Nancy speak----these two women are TERRIBLE!
Moderators talk too much
