I doubt either one of them would be interested. Ellis isn’t exactly someone that anyone is rushing to work with or adapt his work. He’s mostly just coasting on his early success.
The Mahabjarata, produced by Peter Brooks. Art and theater as universal. The Silk Roads, influences and ideas travelling back and forth and mingling. Artistic models of freedom and mobility
I’m not sure mate as its been a long time since I have been in the United Kingdom but by the sound of her voice and wonderful nature I think its the incomparable Mariella Frostrup.
Woke is aware of social and political issues, especially racism. It's an American term used in the UK by right wingers but not by those they condemn as woke. This is not America.
I'd consider 'woke' to not only be the act of becoming aware of social and political issues, but to also act upon this awareness. With that, it enters the political space as it isn't necessarily agnostic in how to address these issues. Would you disagree with that?
The phrase “reverse racism” implies that racism is acceptable flowing in one direction and anything contrary to that is completely unacceptable. They’re telling on themselves. They always do. Let me get out a tiny violin and play a tune for poor, put-upon Bret Easton Ellis. He’s been through so much.
Cute, but the left has been pushing the idea that only white people can be racist for at least 30 years. Thus, in light of that cultural nugget, "reverse racism" becomes a somewhat useful term, sadly.
Actually reverse racism as he put it and is understood to be reverse racism is well intentioned actions that still reveal a kind of prejudice. Its said this way because racism is overtly negative normally. . These are not identical and reverse racism isn't racism flowing in an unusual direction. That probably just what was fed to you, part of the infantilization he was mentioning. So then you may put your own violins away now.
There is no such thing as reverse racism, just racism, and no particular race owns it. In fact I am sick of racism being the original sin - it’s tribalism and tribalism is not just about race, it’s the mindset that puts religion against religion, political view against political view, football team against football team.
As a Pierce, of Pierce&Pierce, I'm disappointed hearing this from Bret... Honey, when did you become THAT guy? Don't you remember Union Square? You just had Lunar Park published...Or no...
You've hurt abd betrayed a LOT of people: friends, family, the fans your grifter boyfriend steals from, the victims your vexatious litigant boyfriend sues, and CALIFORNIA TAXPAYERS.
I love Easton Ellis, great writer
Bret always challenges. People who call him right wing don't really listen to what he says. You don't have to like what he says
One of the most interesting Americans. Culturally significant.
He speaks the truth and that's why people don't like him. They are afraid of their own lies being exposed.
Less than Zero was awesome and so was the movie. Its one of my favorite 80s movies.
Thanks for such a great interview. I lived through the 80s and miss the freedom of it thoroughly
Got to give credit where it's due, this is a good interview and Bret doing media again is a blessing
You got weird ideas on "blessings", Dude.
He isn’t wrong. We all have been subjugated so no one should be getting privileges
Can't wait to read this, love Brett Easton Ellis.
Ellis is brilliant.
Bret didn't leave the Left, the Left left him. Great interview.
What a brave guy. Not easy to denounce all the wokeness madness.
Great interview and brilliant novel. A film adaptation; screenplay by Tarantino and direction by David Lynch.

The amount of research BEE does is astronomical
Bret seems really keyed up in this interview.
If I were a lesser man, I'd say that he's probably on something.
That’s what I thought. Never seen him this way before. Is he back on the Pepsi?
@@logicbeagle That's probably how he finally finished another book. Pepsi really works wonders, just ask Stephen King.
@@InsidiousJazz If that's wonders, I can only imagine what the blunders look like.
Best of the current interviews!
Based and Ellis pilled
My hero.
Maybe publishers no longer offer you advances because they doubt your ability to repay them.
There a few artists I would want to spend time with more than Bret.
Excellent
BEE is the only person I can disagree with politically and still respect as an artist. I am a big fan and think he is a fantastic writer.

Actually, advances do payout for authors who can still sell.
Whenever he snickers you instantly know what he is about to say, hehe
'I don't care.' It's an artistic manifesto. Great BEE.
What's the name of the interviewer?
I’m not sure mate as its been a long time since I have been in the United Kingdom but by the sound of her voice and wonderful nature I think its the incomparable Mariella Frostrup.
@@Sdea1903 I haven't seen her since she guest-starred on one of my favorite short-lived British comedies "Coupling" almost 20 years ago
the 80s was the Reagan Era
Crazy rude taking that call 27:41
Oh, my! Bret Easton Ellis is going to get canceled for this. 😮
😅is that the title of his Biography?
He can be cancelled if we allow him to be
You have NOT been canceled. You still have a VOICE.
28:00 HOW RUDE! He takes a phone a call?!?! 😅

This is not America.
it's a dumb word they use to talk bad about anything good.

Would you disagree with that?

This must be a story Murdoch wants to push on his agenda to turn the world fascist and make him world king .🤔
@@alexv1190 woke = anything good. Yeah ok softee the grey man
Call it what it is: antiwhite.
America has been anti-black since its 1600s. Now you are mad the offspring is flipping back on its creator

Abuse of his superpowers..well..

Writing isn't intellectual? Well, yours isn't. That's true.
You've hurt abd betrayed a LOT of people: friends, family, the fans your grifter boyfriend steals from, the victims your vexatious litigant boyfriend sues, and CALIFORNIA TAXPAYERS.
Lunacy of the Left. Hmm ... it's the RIGHT picking fights with Mickey Mouse, M&Ms, Mr. Potato Head, Barbie, and "Woke" beer.
You should have dedicated the book to the people you've lied about and those who've saved your, now, disgraceful career.
You were not part of the "popular kids". Noo rich kids snorting blow and driving BMWs are NOT "the world". That's YOUR BUBBLE.
"The Informers" lost $20 million and bankrupted a distribution company. 👏 👏 👏
No, Sweetie: if it's FICTIONALIZED, it did NOT actually happen.
You DO pretend to be something you're not.
His movies have all FAILED.
Gunthers twisted brain
Which meant they were some one lol
He is STILL a LIAR.
Pat average
Lying is his super power?
What a wolly.
It couldn't be that your no longer popular because you haven't wriiten anything good in almost 20 years?
Yes interesting very nice Bret lol uuuf
SAD to see one of my favorite writers become a RIGHT WINGER
He's far from right wing
Anything that doesn’t adhere to your ideological bent is right wing aye?
Hexs not right wing.
I think racism depends on the intention. Disrupting mono racial groups is not 'racism'.
