"There's too much noise.. Give me something amazing, new, something I've haven't seen in a way that hasn't been done before" Harmony is such an inspiration :)
Its all an act on letterman. Thats why he only goes there when hes promoting. And thats why dave was a little mean to him. Because he kind of knew what he was doing.
That movie is terrible. A complete drugged up and drugged out director exploiting people from different walks in southern culture basically for his own personal amusement, and then people like yourself think they are being so deep and that it is this artistic, multi layered, avant garde masterpiece... Kids is so much better with real cultural messages, commentary on a potential fucked generation, and a realism that is raw but digestible. That movie was directed by a far better director in Larry Clarke but Harmony did write it and have a lot to do with film. God I hate Gummo.
A LOT of people hate this guys movies.... I fucking love them and they have influenced me as a person. If you feel uncomfortable by a Korine movie....you should, that's what he intended. Learn something!
actually a surprising inspiration. you can tell he is trying to reach new boundaries with his films. and he works it out. they all stand out from mainstream crap. he doesnt try to convey exact messages in his films, he just gives the audience heaps to chew on to take something, anything out of them
There's another interview where he says he was tripping and thought he saw a gun in her purse, and then proceeded to play with her gun. When Letterman knocked, he responded "come in" in a girls voice(because he was tripping) and then was caught shoving whatever he thought was a gun back into her purse.
@@ellarose1685 watch all his 3 appearances on letterman and his "normal" interview here, big difference. He even said in this one "dont do what everybody else is doing". the letterman interview was an act so people would watch his movie out of curiousity.
Jervis Paraggua you’re comparing someone in their early 20s and their 40s, ofc he’s changed! Also wasn’t he a drug addict in the letterman years hence all the tweaking didn’t he get a lifetime ban because he was sniffing in meryls purse probably for drug money. Now he’s sober. You can still see his ticks here but they’re sedated he’s probably on adderall now and got his shit together.
@@ellarose1685 you first replied to me about not knowing something for sure yet here you are talking to me about what drug he's probably taking. I knew about his supposed drug problems but all 3 appearances? He started in that show as a teen to 30s i think. oh i didnt mind the tweaking, its the content of his thought, he really was trying to sell his movie through an unusual act.
Fuck he reminds me of my 14 old son. Not in a bad way but the imagination of how a human can do such a beautiful thing. This is the first time I've heard of him and it gives me great hope my son can be as great as him as he has a wild imagination. You have given me inspiration my friend
Most film makers have parents that either made films or either they have parents that are privileged in other ways. But people always focus on people without context and think it's all in 'our own hands'. For many in less privileged classes/lives , making movies and practicing many other arts isn't even an option, it is not even alive in the mind as something that one can do. I just wanted to share this shit.
That’s a defeatist attitude. You are coming up with reasons why you can’t do something. A lot of young people have this crazy idea that life is all worked out by 20 or something. Please, I changed careers completely in my 40s, and I mean completely, and I had been a president of a company in my 30s. If you want to be a filmmaker, start. People fail because they are scared to start.
@@saucybaka4439 he was strung out you dumbass. That was not Tourette’s in his 3rd letterman interview. He was laughing uncontrollably and his mind was clearly in another place especially compared to his behavior here.
The Letterman interviews were pure Gold! I love this guy, I have zero idea how I even came to watch the interviews tbh but then I started to find out more about him and I intend to watch his films 🎥 x
Excellent interview the questions that are given are very thought provoking you can check by the answers that were given although you don't ever hear any of the questions?
Harmony! Where did that excitable, comedic young man go? You had me in stitches with your David Letterman appearances. I'm sure just like the rest of us there came a time to let go of the child within, and, take on the serious adult side of life. Putting that aside I appreciate where you came from, and what you've done. Bravo! But try to get back just a little bit of that kid we all adore😊
Harmony was genuinely honest in this interview. He was/is creative. Most film and TV writers as well as actors/actresses, classic book writers/novelists, music composers, musicians, etc. are creative because of drug use. That's a fact. When I first saw him on Letterman three times, he was eccentric and awkwardly funny and played to it. Harmony had the heebie-jeebies and Happy feet which are generally the signs of a tweaker, too much sugar or too many energy drinks. As it turned out later, he was a crack and heroin addict. He was drugging prior to entering the Green Room of the David Letterman show and was caught by David Letterman going through Meryl Streep's purse, consequently was banned from the show there on. Still, has not worth today is over 8 million $.
It’s so easy to pick up on the cues that he’s so uncomfortable in front of the camera but has such a personality for it and is unbelievably smart. That’s why he writes the film and doesn’t star in it. He knows what it needs but can’t perform it himself.

I saw Spring Breakers the other day and I have to admit I had a very hard time liking it the first half hour - there wasn't anything for me to pick up on in characters or plot - but I gotta say I was impressed with the end result and the photography was darn good. I've been recommended Gummo, next on my list.
If your smashing your head against a wall trying to figure it out, just leave it alone. Or, if someone is smashing your head against a wall while trying to figure it out, just leave it alone.
He speaks in a somewhat normal and matter of fact way but the processes of film making he describes is absolutely insane. His mind is very obviously scattered and confused.
Full on - “understanding what it’s like to live outside the common realm” , this is an impossible task for 95% of the younger generation today. We grew up in a time when grunge and even before that, glam rock, punk, and hip hop were thriving, when what was edgy was also what was popular, this is a mind set that kids today cannot relate to, unless they’re manufacturing it themselves, most kids today look at our generation as fucked up cuz many of us ruined our lives in this pursuit and that’s a fair critique- but we at least experienced life outside of the common realm, and those of us who made it have interesting stories and perspectives, I mean I would take much of it back if I could have my health, but I’m an outlier , you don’t have to do it like I did, I was basically one of those characters from korines kids movie, except unlike the rest of my friends I made it out, mostly cuz like morons I was interested in learning and reading, instead of just getting high. But yeah if you weren’t born into the streets it’s possible to do it without killing yourself- I’m sure!!
Who else started this Harmony search watching the Letterman interviews. Then search Harmony afterwards.
surfmotor guilty as charged! This dude fascinated me!
Me too
Yep!
Guilty
Same here
"There's too much noise.. Give me something amazing, new, something I've haven't seen in a way that hasn't been done before"
Harmony is such an inspiration :)
Springbreakers?
"Don't give me the same shit over and over again because I don't want it." Useful words. 👍🏻
He really calmed down haha
He got his tweaker shit together for sure.
He grew up I guess.
He still has the same ticks
Less drugs but he's still in there.
Its all an act on letterman. Thats why he only goes there when hes promoting. And thats why dave was a little mean to him. Because he kind of knew what he was doing.
I think this dude is one of the most creative film makers ever
more important - one of few serious people in hole world cinematography.
@Kosmos de Kosmopoliet Dope
You borgs are getting scary perceptive
Pure genius
@@dennismakowski9973 shut up with that pretentious crap
Gummo is an understated masterpiece. Whether intentional or not, that movie has some serious layers of thought on American society.
+Patrick Bateman elaborate
+whatupdude96 it'll never happen. the only response you'll get is "I can't explain it" or "you just don't get it."
+Sandra Curran beautifully put. gummo makes me dream
the images alone are something i could never forget, and some of the most rich i've seen.

his advice is gold dust
One of the best surrealist filmmakers of all time- Strange to say because they're all so hyper-realist
"Don't give me the same shit over and over again cause I don't want it." Unfortunately most of the movie-going public does.
A LOT of people hate this guys movies.... I fucking love them and they have influenced me as a person. If you feel uncomfortable by a Korine movie....you should, that's what he intended. Learn something!
All these years and he's still the same person. I love it. I like his personality.
I've been fantasizing about making short films for years but never paid it much attention. This video sparked inspiration in me.
Hope you made your film 😊😊
Hey? Have you followed that inspiration?
@Sabian Vorachev Where can we find it?
u made that film yet?
How's this going now
actually a surprising inspiration. you can tell he is trying to reach new boundaries with his films. and he works it out. they all stand out from mainstream crap. he doesnt try to convey exact messages in his films, he just gives the audience heaps to chew on to take something, anything out of them
Whatever your opinion on the mans work is, you cant help but admire his adventure
I do.
That last bit (gimmie this gimme that) was fucking poetry
Dude, I’m not trying to be disrespectful in any way whatsoever but I am SHOCKED he made it and is still alive!! My GOD, good for him!!!!🙏🏼👏👏👏♥️
This is possibly the greatest interview I've ever watched
Your an idiot Alyssa!
*You're a poonsack, Deakon Jarvis!
Poonsack, hahaha.
you (american) probably say this every day about some interview.
Then you haven’t seen his others 😂😂
Give it to him guys. Give it to him. He wants it.
Did he find anything in Meryl Streep’s purse?
Oscars
Her ignorant bitch card
I heard he tried to sit on her lap so Letterman banned him from the show.
You don’t ban geniuses like this from your show no matter what.
There's another interview where he says he was tripping and thought he saw a gun in her purse, and then proceeded to play with her gun. When Letterman knocked, he responded "come in" in a girls voice(because he was tripping) and then was caught shoving whatever he thought was a gun back into her purse.
He's amazing, you be so lucky to work with him as a actor!
"don't do it just to make noise, there's too much noise" man.. that line. this guy is a genius, too bad letterman was too quick to judge.
Letterman knew korine was putting an act on his talkshow, thats why he's a little sarcastic towards him.

@@TomatoKing1817 if it sounds that way, i blame the voice in your head.
I'm sorry you've had bad experiences with angry responses from children and that my objection to the original comment is giving you flashbacks.
I would totally be this guys friend in school, you can tell his mind is nonstop and sleep is rare.
love his honesty
Love how he looks and sounds exactly the same.
I love this man. Good man/great artist!
always admired his form of film making, the way he gets ideas seems very similar to the way i get ideas for films.
Intelligent man. Makes me think of "This is Dan Bell" ,another intelligent videographer, if that's the right word. Dan is on UA-cam.
I think UA-cam is perfect for him
If UA-cam was born back then he would be big
Came here from watching him strung out on letterman lol
He has tourrettes you dumbass

I LOVE HARMONY
Adderal isn't a hell of a drug.
Esteban Rincon he needs it
This guy is Very Unique! One of a Kind!
He is right, there is too much noise.....
Watching this after seeing the Letterman appearances, it's an amazing and heartwarming evolution of a unique artist and human being.
Thanks for making Gummo, Harmony!!

genericusername why
Got here from Ghost song documentary about Houston and then rapper Omb Bloodbath on Vice YT movie by the French filmmaker that is similar to Korine.
Harmony Korine needs to be the creative developer of a video game at least once - maybe work with Hideo Kojima.
Give me something amazing...new... and something I haven't seen before... That's his truth.
People forget on dont know about his movie Mister Lonley. I really loved it.
Who else Saw the 1995 movie KIDS that Harmony Korine wrote when he was just 19?
It takes genius to recognize genius.
Yes, he is definitely taking the Ritilin!...going to watch this 'Gummo' film now😊
This guy is so intriguing
Saw him on letterman yrs ago, he was hysterical.!
Just watched "The Beach Bum" and not other his films, totally amazing.
i like anyone that curls dave lettermans nose hairs. dreamy
Excellent interview the questions that are given are very thought provoking you can check by the answers that were given although you don't ever hear any of the questions?

wow he is still tweeking lol damn
this guy is inspirational to me
Does anyone know if he has any official social media available? Also how would I know if he’s about to release a new movie
Where was this shot?
No, it's because he is being asked interesting questions.
the GOAT
hahaha he starts to rap at the end
Wonderful advice
wether you like his movies or not you have to admit the guy has a vision and is not afraid of making unsafe choices.

Love him
His voice hasn’t changed since Letterman
"Hey herve , i know you from juvi ! " - Good will hunting
