As if he wasnt influential enough, his view on art comparing the city and country and vertical and horizontal just opened my mind differently. Fucking love this man
I know alot of ppl love Frank for his Batman stuff but i was always a bigger fan of what he did on Daredevil. He made that charecter into something cool and unique at the time. Its why im such a massive fan of Daredevil today. As a kid, i was a Spider Man fan but as ive aged ive gained so much more love and appreciation for Daredevil.
Among the best Frank Miller videos I've seen. Substantive stuff from the artist that's well presented, even down to the background for the interview. Well done.
This is the grand Master of illustrative art. Even Jack Kirby, Neal Adam's didn't expect or predict such a character to evolve not only the comics medium but the way humans have evolved into expecting what they want to see. His imaginative influence has effected some kind of brain neuron even in the sub species trying to lend their hand at influencing the art world. Nobody has done it better or even as close. This man practically reinvented the wheel and turned it into another household name. Long live Frank Miller !!!!!!🎄❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😜🎄👌
I think that Frank Miller's recent art mirrors his physical and mental decay. When he was young and healthy his work was vibrant, powerful and bold. Older and frail Frank Miller's is a painful attempt at social criticism and at using the reader as punching bag, and even though it might have its audience, is a far cry from his heydays qualitywise. (I do believe that most comics artists draw versions of themselves - just look at the pictures of the most famous comics artists and see it for yourself). I simply love Frank Miller's work on Daredevil, Ronin, Batman, 300 and Sin City. And there's his contributions with Simon Beasley (Batman vs Lobo) and Todd Mcfarlane (Batman and Spawn) which were simply great.
I for one appreciate your observation, mate. In the end, criticism is almost entirely based on one's subjective experience. So different people are bound to have vastly different views on things that appear to be objectively good/bad.
About "the most of the comic artist draw versions of themselves" part, I thought I was the only one who noticed it. Reminds me of Jack Kirby's art, most male characters looks like him especially Ben Grimm, The Thing
FM brought me back into comics through DD. I was bored with comics...Heavy Metal magazine kept me in the field. I bought DD death of Elektra. Ronin..Blew my mind. That changed comics. Then DK. FM changed comics of that time.
@@broken1394 There's not much incentive to. Before, the western comic book industry was saturated with mediocre and childish capeshit. And then it gets even "better", as the comic book industry transforms itself into a vile, decaying platform of "woke".
@SEZWAH Music fair point. Should've known that would come out insensitive. Okay let me rephrase, Miller hasn't been the same since Sin City and 300. And the fact in DK II, his understanding of drawing went out the window as well as storytelling
@SEZWAH Music Well yeah, but he went into a darker nastier approach to the world and it affected his quality in telling a good story. Though we can't say 9/11 is where it started, actually it was his divorce with Lynn Varley was one of the contributing factors
DC made John Constantine into a superhero in the New 52. John Constantine is supposed to an anti-hero, not a force of good. This doesn't work, and It just feels wrong. Alan Moore would hate it. I'm glad the DC Black Label imprint got the character back to his supernatural and anti-hero roots. How Alan Moore made this. John Constantine rightfully belongs to Alan Moore.
Maybe not. Some people, especially creative types, have some interesting voices. One guy commented on an old Todd McFarlane video that he sounded drunk...
His writing as of late has become super cringe. Hope he is able to come around and write for more than the woke/feminist/SJWs, who actually represent a quite small, yet quite vocal, percentage of the overall population.
@@mikemars2112 Maybe, but more likely, maybe not. Now that the pendulum has begun to swing back toward the side of common sense and decency, with fewer and fewer normal people taking SJWs seriously, watch, he will revert back to the way the wind is blowing.
@@hellogoodbye4061I never saw Frank as Left leaning so if he's doing that (I haven't been following modern comics so I honestly don't know) then he's doing it to appease the modern woke SJW's. Because Franks best stuff is very much anti woke.
As if he wasnt influential enough, his view on art comparing the city and country and vertical and horizontal just opened my mind differently. Fucking love this man
Frank Miller is my idol. Millers Daredevil is pure gold

He's looking quite similar to Robert Englund.
Yeah. An homage to the Nightmare elm street?
Freddie Kruger?

This is a great interview.
11:00 "If you know how to slow the reader down, you've mastered the art of comics."
My favourite comic book writer of all time.
My favorite comic artist of all time
Best writer ever
This is 2012. Jesus he's hammered. Drink bent him into a question mark ten years on.
Comics are just getting started. The limitless potential has hardly been explored yet.
Indeed., time to make more, explore more... Create more...
Oh my... what wonderful insight!!! Frank Miller.... finished off what Bob Kane started...
& Bill Finger
One of my favorite writers. Miller's Batman is my favorite rendition of the character.
Great commentary on art.
I’ve never heard him talk but when I first saw a picture of him I thought he was kinda mean or something but he’s a cool dude
Dude Is rockin Freddie's attire 👍
Frank in superb shape here. I adore everything Miller. The guy is a true visionary!
Great Miller Interview
Frank Miller is a master. Live long good sir❤
This video is my religion.
I love this video
excellent opening frank :)

Hes my idol...

i'm a miller fan till the day I die.
You opinion is just another circlejerk.
Miller never changed, he was and always will be great.

he's obsessed with youth and terrified of aging, and his attitude definitely affected how he aged.
"I really don't believe in mistakes any more"
Well, I guess that explains All-Star Batman and Robin.
All-Star Batman and Robin is the most fun and rock&roll Batman story of all time.
FM brought me back into comics through DD. I was bored with comics...Heavy Metal magazine kept me in the field. I bought DD death of Elektra. Ronin..Blew my mind. That changed comics. Then DK. FM changed comics of that time.
What year when this filmed. If recent Frank has made a miraculous recovery
2008
There are only about three people I care about in the comic book industry: Frank Miller, Todd McFarlane and Alan Moore.
Then you don't read enough comcs.
@@broken1394 There's not much incentive to.

Garth Ennis is still pretty good
@@broken1394 lol jack Kirby, how u miss dat
Only those in those spotlight I guess
He's drunk...lol...Frank you rule man.👍🏻✒️
Lol definitely
Thumbnail looks like Bob Dylan on Frank Miller.
He's right up there with Bendis, Johns and Morrison 😏
No he's not. He is far, far above them. None of them have done anything like Daredevil Born Again or Elektra Assassin.
Bendis?! 😂
Where is the Spirit History Repeats documentary ?????
Is this part of a documentary or an independent venture?
Definitely not 2018, so what year is this interview from?
2009
@@filmSCHOOLarchive awesome - thank you!
What year was this taped?
2009
The Adrien Brody of comics!
Haven't heard that name in a long time. But why make the description?
@SEZWAH Music well Miller was impactful. But post 9/11 he fell from grace pretty hard
@SEZWAH Music a strong argument, but Miller has never been the same since
@SEZWAH Music fair point. Should've known that would come out insensitive. Okay let me rephrase, Miller hasn't been the same since Sin City and 300. And the fact in DK II, his understanding of drawing went out the window as well as storytelling

A novelist rather than a pamphleteer---------
Is Freddy Kruger.
Freddie Kruegar
Snaps
Lol
It's a disappointment, Alan Moore doesn't like Batman The Dark Knight Returns. Because of its themes that story has at the time of its release.
Moore is kind of a looney toon if we're being honest. He's talented but as a person, I don't really care for him.
Batman The Dark Knight Returns is referenced in an episode of Boy Meets World.
DC made John Constantine into a superhero in the New 52. John Constantine is supposed to an anti-hero, not a force of good. This doesn't work, and It just feels wrong. Alan Moore would hate it. I'm glad the DC Black Label imprint got the character back to his supernatural and anti-hero roots. How Alan Moore made this. John Constantine rightfully belongs to Alan Moore.
Alan Moore literally wrote the prologue to later editions of the book, praising it and its artwork too. So what are you talking about?
Oh. Wait. I didn't know Dark Knight Returns has a word prologue. I sometimes overlook it.
I love Frank, but damn he sounds drunk.
I thought so too!!!! Definitely had a few drinks!!!!! lol
Maybe not. Some people, especially creative types, have some interesting voices. One guy commented on an old Todd McFarlane video that he sounded drunk...
@@mikemars2112 nah he had a few beers u could tell
He has aged badly
The entire reason you care about comics, is because of this man.
@@jnnx I care because of Alan Moore
He was sick for a while. Don't know the specifics
@@jnnx Not really, Neal Adams and Denny O Neil were more influential to me.
@@jnnx Lmfao the fuck??
Maybe he's the entire reason you l love comics. Me? I discovered Moore before Miller, so....
His writing as of late has become super cringe. Hope he is able to come around and write for more than the woke/feminist/SJWs, who actually represent a quite small, yet quite vocal, percentage of the overall population.
Maybe that's what he himself believes?

11:33 i think this might be why i don’t color after i ink cause i some what agree with that theory 😂
As if Frank Miller couldn't get any creepier.
