      There are authentic people to interview today too, However, the pressure of commercial media production to generate ratings and revenue forces a faster, choppier pace. The best places to find a longer format is public televion/radio and also various podcasts like Marc Maron's.

      The studios heavily moulded their contracted stars during the golden years of Hollywood. They hid Rock Hudson’s homosexuality, and concealed drug and alcohol problems, yet fed Judy Garland drugs leading to her downfall.

      I agree with your statement... remember that while I also go on to disagree/make a counterpoint. Movies also are stories. Can't some of the movies you're referring to just be about a story being told? Surely there are plenty that fall into the category you described... as well as the one I mentioned. I'm not offended by any film that wants to tell a story. Whether it's about white, black, blue, green, male, female, trans, human, alien, animal...etc. Plus, I'm not ashamed to walk out of a movie and ask for my money back. I don't understand people who say: "Well, that was a waste of two hours" Unless their girlfriend made them sit through it with them. Within 20 min, I know whether I'm going to enjoy the rest of the film or not.

    He was my favourite actor. We all have a bad part of our nature, but if we use that energy in a more focused way, we’d achieve so much more. I think Mr Douglas was a determined single minded personality and he honed his craft with real skill to become one of the best. He must have spent hours training for acting roles such as Spartacus and in the Vikings. Can’t say any modern actor would do so well in those roles. Can’t name one.

      You’ve got it backwards; Micheal is so like Kirk, his father. But I agree with you that he was a very handsome fellow.

    I like his opening about making films that allow people to step away from their daily troubles for a few hours, what a contrast from todays SJW propaganda epics which constantly try to shame and mold the audiences.

    It's 2019 and Mr. Douglas's remarks are from one of the most common sensisicle persons I have ever heard. Just like James Cagney, who commented on his life time achievement as being just a job. Kirk Douglas has his feet on reality. Pretty inspiring for this retired carpenter.

    This is what a Hollywood star looks like.his presence,his charisma,his ability to captivate an audience.some of todays "stars" are nicking a living compared to true greats like kirk.tom cruise,brad pitt,tom hanks are cut from the same cloth but a lot of todays actors are lucky shall we say to be box office stars when previous talent was so much greater and stronger.

    Mr. Kirk Douglas is spot on in his view of learning the world around us and above all contributing to make the world a better place for having lived however great or small the contribution. Too many live in their own little monastery, thinking they can "divorce" from the world. Not a good legacy.

    Kirk lived to be 103 because he kept his childish side alive, when you are childish at heart, not being afraid to play with toys, read comic books, etc, you live past the age of 100

    “They go to the movies to forget their problems.” This is what we do when we don’t want to see our lives as it is. In reality, we are the ones who turn things into problems.
    Kirk Douglas came before mindfulness was taught. Now we realize that pain and problems dissolve when we face them, not forget them.

    One of the last of the glamorous Hollywood. So awesome he’s still around, how much he’s seen of history, film, awesome 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 he always seemed down to earth, you can see it in his son too. They seem like you could just say hey if you saw them on the street. I miss the humbleness of celebrities...

    Im amazed at the amount of people saying they think hes coming off as really intelligent. They seem to say something similar about every actor on this channel, and excluding Orson Wells, most seem ordinary to me. Not idiots, but regular intelligence. Orson most certainly had a mind

      Any conversation on the Cavett show seems intelligent compared to the current talk-show offerings. Seems like people weren’t as hyper-conscious of commodifying themselves. now “talk shows” are just an advertisement tour for whatever project you have coming out, and as such, the conversation is slick and lifeless
