What's your favorite David Fincher film and why?
And thank you to everyone for the insane amount of support on the start of this channel :)
Dragon tatts, the look, the hacking, Rooney Mara, it's pacing
I’d have to see fight club. Great video again dude 👍🏻
@@jacobfranklin2199 That's the next film on my list of David Fincher's to watch. I've heard it's impeccable
The Social Network. It's also partially because of Sorkin's fantastic script but man is that movie amazing.
The Director's Cut it is my friend
Rosamund Pike was crazy good in this film. David Fincher will always be one of the all time greats when it comes to film making.
She really was. I think her and David Fincher working together really was a perfect match for this film
@@Jilloms Hope got to see them working again sometimes
Pike was very good even with Christal Bale in the recent western movie by Scott Cooper "hostiles"
Fincher is just a master. Gone Girl is my favorite film of his and you’ve done a great job at highlighting why that is.
Also, I cannot talk about this movie without praising the revolutionary performance from Rosamund Pike! She was so beautiful and glacial but terrifying at the same time. Just simply outstanding.
Thank you so much. I'm glad to know that I can do the film justice through this video, especially to someone who cares so much about the film. I 100% agree with you on Pike's performance. It was the first film I had seen her in and I was shocked by how well she was able to take on such an intense character
The social network is my favorite. I hated the ending of gone girl
The camera work was brilliant.
One scene effortlessly melts into the next.
Gone Girl was very seductive too.
I love it.
the camera work also helps to show you the character of amy so well, too. it starts off so normal and culminates at the end by showing that amy’s almost become a more grandiose personality, which definitely clicked in nicks head too.
"Presentation is a weird translucent diffuse plastic hymen between what I want it to be and what you want it to be" - David Fincher
Watched this with my ex, we were at our peak, and yet broke up a week later
I'm sorry for your loss. Gone Girl can really get to ya
@@Jilloms watched it with my bf and he was so shock, he even said that I remain him of Amy's character :S
The way everyone talks about how Fincher directed this film REALLY feels like how great theatre is made, and I think that's why this movie works so well. I was thinking that on first watch, and it totally makes sense.
My favorite Fincher film is Dragon Tattoo. It gave me chills and was pretty scary! The Game and Gone Girl are tied with my number two.
He did that movie as well???? It’s always been on my list but I never watched it. Now I will definitely soon.
Man, I feel so conflicted with that movie because Flincher is my favorite director and I loved Dragon Tattoo but the OG movies were, in my opinion, unmatched... that movie gives me conflicted feelings because it didn't need to be remade, BUT IT IS SO GOOD!
I love his thoughts and approach regarding filming his actors as much as possible along with doing countless takes etc. It feels like he’s trying to film the art of a story/scene or character at their creative peak....rather than filming a bunch of shots only to then try to turn those shots into art. He’s refreshingly unorthodox and an undeniable creative powerhouse. 💯 🏆
Really good job man. Watched while eating midnight snack. Two quick tips though. Audio is everything. Especially with something that uses it as the catalyst for the piece. Tip 1 equalize the audio of all the clips as much as possible. Even if you have one that sound mostly left, take the same clip and copy paste it to the right. If it sounds more hollow than the others give it a bass boost. Consistency is key. 2nd tip. At the start and end of each clip use 3 frames or so to ease the audio in or out. If you don't you'll get that pop at the start of finish of it which happened several times in this. I have to so that with all my videos because I use quick cuts. Good stuff though man. Keep it up.
I really appreciate the notes! It's been a journey learning how to get the better sounding audio in post, but I'm always open to improving it. Thanks for taking the time to try and help!
@@Jilloms no worries man. Comes from hard earned experience. Defo get Crumble pops denoiser. Best audio plug in ever.
Ah, my editor, I think, used that plugin or something with a very similar name for a short I just directed. Was impressed.
Not at an editor at all, but just from my directing experience alone, I can tell this is very impressively sound advice.
Oh, and Keep up the good work Director's Cut!
@@TheGeorgeD13 That's great! Glad to hear someone else has used it and liked it. I'm checking it out with this next one.
Good tips!
man, she has the same beauty Grace Kelly had.
Dude no. I love Rosamund pike but come on
She Is luminous like Grace, but she’s NO Grace Kelly.
I can objectively see how they are considered conventionally beautiful, but I don't find either attractive
@@greyLeicester to each his own, I guess.
@@greyLeicester you know they’re both incredibly good looking but to each their own
They don't want to be led by someone who's like "God I don't know".
*cuts to Tyler Perry*
Brilliant editing
What's up with Tyler Perry?
So glad you chose this movie! Always been interested in how he made this. Keep it up!
Really loving this channel, can't wait for more
Thank you for the work you’ve done . Very informative !
Wish there was more behind the scenes stuff of this movie. What a masterpiece.
Awesome video, mate! 👌🏻 beautifully edited 🔥 thanks man
This channel idea is absolutely genius and takes a ton of work and research. Easy decision to subscribe. Was really hoping your channel would have a dozen of these but seems I found you right at your inception. Keep up the good work my friend!
I really appreciate that. I'll be uploading weekly from here on out so you'll have tons to watch in the future!
This is my favorite David Fincher movie ever, everytime i watch it I have to watch it until the end it doesn't matter if I decide to watch it or if I catch it on Tv. Ever since I first watched this movie, I fell in love with it. Everything about it is perfect in my opinion and it's responsible for revitalizing Ben Affleck as an actor. It also shocked me how good Tyler Perry was in this, just goes to show how amazing the direction was and I really like the cinematography.
Heck I can't even talk about this movie without going all over the place, I love this movie 👏
Amazing videos, I learn so much insight through watching what you have made. Please keep going
So glad you enjoyed and learned from it! I really want these videos to more efficiently bring real insight on directing
Rosamund Pike was perfect for and in this role
The effort put into editing this is spectacular. You just got yourself a sub. Great shit
Thank you. I really appreciate you noticing the effort I put into my videos. I really want to make them more than just a hodgepodge of random scenes and cuts. I hope this way everyone can learn even more about the directors presented
The editing in this video is superb! Love your style.
Thank you! :)
I can't really express how much I enjoy this film. I never get tired of rewatching it, I know it pretty by heart now, yet every time I am blown away by the most wtf scenes. That is ny definition of a great picture!
I LOVE this channel! thank you !
Great work, once again. Your videos are a perfect length and the commentary is FANTASTIC. I’ve loved every one of the them so far so please keep going. It’d be great to see Steven Soderbergh and John Carpenter if that’s at all possible. Thanks again.
Thanks, Toby! It's always great to see someone enjoying more than just one of the videos. I'll add those both to my request list! Thanks for sharing
Such a refreshing idea for a channel - a great companion piece to the commentary track. Good job dude! The only thing I'd say is work on the audio side of things. Pan center, equalise, smooth out the edges - the usual stuff. You can also elevate the production quality by ripping from a Blu-ray source and making sure you avoid awkward cuts in between scenes. Keep it up!
I'm always thankful for critiques so I can see where the videos need improvement. Audio is such a huge part of this and I'm working on seeing just how good I can get it. Thanks for helping!
This channel will go places. Amazing video
Thank you :) I'm excited to see what all will become of it
i fucking love how audio was the first thing that came to his head when talking about the importance of the crew... two times in this video!
Fucking great movie with incredible acting
❣❣❣ another terrific video! I'm so happy you did fincher, hes so interesting with his process and ideas I could listen to him all day lol
zodiac and the social network are my favorites.
Thank you!! So glad to bring you a Fincher one. I was blown away by his insight
@@Jilloms 😊😊 have you read anything about zodiac, it's amazing how much detail he put into making it so authentic

5. Gone Girl
6. Fight Club
7. Mank

You channel deserves more attention
Thanks! I'm looking forward to continue to see it grow
This was so good!
Thanks! It was such a great film to work with
I didn't know she was English, she does a great American accent. She is a great actress as well.
Great video! Thank you for making this!
Thanks for checking it out! I had a ton of fun making it
@@Jilloms It's always fantastic hearing words straight from the mouths of the people who made the films. I'm a huge Fincher fan and a huge Gone Girl fan and yet I still hadn't seen/heard ANY of this content before. I'm thankful for kind people like you who go digging to find and edit things like this -- that teach and inspire us all.
@@magicsammy1 Wow, it's people like you that I want to bring this stuff to!! There's so much out there on the films and directors we love, but it gets buried over time. It really excites me that I can bring these great bits from directors back to life
Love the Fincher smile at the end, swiped from right after he said he thought all people are perverts.
Great video. Thank you. Keep going.
Appreciate the support :)
Dope, always down for more Fincher content. Favorite Fincher film is also my favorite film. The Social Network.
Such a fantastic film
Se7en’s his best
Would love to see you tackle a classic style directors film, such as an Elia Kazan film, or Sidney Lumet, Francis Ford Coppola (lots of commentaries on blurays and speeches) or Steve McQueen. Just some ideas, if you use them great, if not no worries, either way I am loving your videos and appreciate the hard work that you put into them.
Yeah, that's a great idea. I'd love to look into the classics. Thanks for the suggestions!
Something like Howard Hawkes would be great considering he wasn't even remotely an auteur or a stylist, yet was perhaps the most functional director that ever lived (other than maybe John Ford and James Cameron).
Very good and informative video!
Thank you!
Fincher is so damn good
Really loved his take on Dragon Tattoo
I enjoy that movie a lot too.That movie feels like mid winter. I also have a lot of time for The Game.
You're killing it! I love the idea behind this channel! I would love to see how taika watiti directed Thor ragnarok or anything by him really
Thank you so much! I'd be really interested to do one on him
Am gonna like this channel alot, keep at it and thank you.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video :) I'll be sure to keep uploading more
@@Jilloms Perfect. At some point when you've covered David Fincher enough, Terrance Malik would be a superb choice. Thank you again
@@henryjdw238 Yes! Great recommendation. Do you have a favorite by Malik?
Yes please to the adaptation video
It's a nitpick but the only thing I didn't like about Gone Girl and distracted me was that coffee cup the detective kept holding. It felt like a prop.
XD I actually liked that coffee cup... I'm a heavy coffee drinker and I spend my time with thermos, so I could relate somehow with that
Coffee keeps them alert. People who have high performing jobs need to be alert. Your always gonna see a detective with coffee
Would love to know the sources for these interviews. Thanks for putting this together.
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm working on a more efficient way to link all of the interview sources and will be releasing them for each video in the future!
No detail is wasted. Like Nick and Amy meeting: they’re at a party, feeling superior to everyone else. Their contempt is mutual; she’s toxic waste, he’s a dump. This is a tough book to adapt, but flipping the POV halfway through totally worked for me.
very informative, I sometimes wonder about the right way to capture a performance... there are many times in music where the first take is almost always going to contain the unconscious elements that make a song fun to listen to repeatedly... in film (like with Kubrick) doing 100 takes sounds like it would dry out or kill certain qualities, but maybe professional actors are able to keep up
Sidney Lumet said an actor has about 4 interesting takes in them before they dry up, but 4 takes is usually not enough to nail every (technical and artistic) aspect of a shot. So after take 4 the actor needs to "fill-up" again, and you start the repetitive climb towards a performative break-through. How long that climb is, depends on the actor, the scene and the situation. Anecdotally he shot a close-up with Marlon Brando for hours into the night and into overtime pay for the crew, because they both knew it wasn't working - until it did.
this guy is swag
Ben was putting on that Batman weight in this movie.
Gone Girl, hands down, is my fave Flincher movie... I feel it was perfection from beginning to end.
Best movie ever
Can anyone help me to find the commentaries of Fight Club, The social network and Gone Girl? They're not available on YT
Keep this up please
I definitely will! You'll see a new video tomorrow!
Fincher really Hijack our eyes 1:40 simple little camera movement.
Ooh that "ChickenFritoPie" Lady!
She *SCREAMS* BackStabbingSuccubus!!!
The movie (like all Fincher movies on home video) comes with a commentary track. So then, I fail to see what's the use of putting this together.
Those commentary tracks are great! But some people do not have the access or funds to purchase the film with the commentary track. This video provides another way to access insight from Fincher along with content that isn't already on the commentary
God Bless Actors! What though is the writer’s place in all this?
Gillian Flynn did a lot for this film in adapting her book to the screen. Part of her place was to give the actors a foundation of character to work with. Rosamund repeatedly has mentioned going to Gillian with questions she had about Amy in order to understand how to play her character better
The Director's Cut That’s terrific. I’ve been to several workshops in the Michael Checkov method (Anton’s nephew and a pupil of Stanislavsky) who recommended that the actor read the entire script seven times. If the right actor is playing the role all the repeated readings will enter the memory and the unconscious to draw on the actor’s memory. Thus informing h/her choices of attitude and gestures.
@@stevenbosch429 That's interesting. I haven't heard many actors talk about how many times they've read through the full script before shooting. I'd be interested to know what the reading process is like for some. Thanks for sharing that method
The teachers I can recommend are Ragnar Friednak and Joanna Merlin at the Michael Chekhov Association.
I wish Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal would have been cast as the twins.
That would've been really interesting
I love Jake, but I think we might have liked him instead of suspected him, Ben looks guilty already lol
That final Every Frame A Painting “I think people are perverts” cut-to-black. My favorite video essay moment of all time.
Haha I absolutely love the face Fincher makes in that clip. I had to put it in
Have I Got a "GoneGirl" Story for You!
I feel like theyre not saying anything
This was obviously a great movie but I hated how it made me feel afterwards. I already had trust issues, and Amy's character made it 10 times worse. Now I'm paranoid and suspicious around smart girls, and I can't stand dumb girls, so basically I'm just fucked. I definitely took this movie too seriously, and I definitely need therapy.
Not Even a Person Are you okay now?
I'm a big David Fincher fan but I hated this movie! No relatable main characters. Both main figures was just assholes! And the weird pseude realism also seemed to me as if no stylistic decision had been made... Worst David Fincher movie ever in my opnion (even worst than Alien 3). I really don't get why people liked it that much...
I was hooked through the whole thing. I think both of the main characters were relatable, both in their experiences as men and women in society today and their shortcomings were also relatable (though Amy’s shortcomings are LESS so, you know that whole, psychopath business). But I agree, there was some fleshing out I would have liked and in two and a half hours I’d think it would have been possible but I’m no director.
Nah you're dead wrong in this claim. It is supposed to be a movie about unsympathetic characters. So you miss the point.
@@FervAnimalLover Yeah, maybe you're right and it was intentional. But that doesn't change the fact that I don't like the movie.
This movie is about someone who can’t quit. And they’ll go any extent to make that happen. That made this movie a well thought through cinema. She was able to show her husband what cheating her would bring him. Truly terrifying.
Exaggarated movie. We cannot sit
This is such a shit film! None of the acting is that believable and the whole scenario is almost as piss-poor as the disappearance of Madeleine McCann. I now steer well clear of Fincher films; they are crap!
