Robert Bucchianeri Agreed with both of you...I think it's his level of emotion/imagination inherent in his personality that translates in all of his films. Great filmmakers can create a world of their own to a degree.
@@WW-sx5zu Yes it does. You have to remember though, you are seeing the events unfold through the eyes of Doc, a guy who is wacked out on something or other throughout the film. Some stuff he sees is happening, other things are reveries and hallucinations. The second Shasta visit is a reverie for example. If you research Pynchon and how he wrote and what he wrote about in general, you'll get more of a feel for the world as Pynchon paints it.
How PT Anderson has not won an oscar is beyond me.....He is a fucking genius. Boogie Nights, Magnolia, There Will Be Blood, The Master.....and now Inherent Vice. COME ON ACADEMY!
I loved Vice and Blood, but Magnolia infuriated me like no other film ever has. I despise that fucking movie so much. It was so full of itself and so unearned.
PTA joins Alfred Hitchcock, Robert Altman, Stanley Kubrick, and countless foreign masters who haven’t won one. Honestly between the directors who’ve won one and the field who hasn’t, I’ll go field. So many greats go unnoticed/get one as an honorary award when they’re 80+.
I read Pynchon. This movie had that feel. I don't know how they captured all that so nicely. Paul is kind of amazing. Pynchon is by far the hardest literary writer. His narratives are never linear. The script must have been like a madman's writings.
PTA is unquestionably the greatest living filmmaker at this point. This guy just blows my mind with every new picture. A lot of people are completely missing the point of this film and the style PTA was going for. One of the best of the year without a doubt though. PTA is a GOD!
I love this movie so much. I can watch it literally on repeat, because as soon as the end credits roll I don't remember a single plot point. It's just like with "The Big Sleep" with Humphrey Boggart. As soon as the end credits roll, you can rewatch it again happily, as you don't remember who was the culprit.
It's nice that some dude who hasn't written a thing can make a comment without the pleasure of being asked. Enjoy your nine to five you f word for cuss. Your girlfriend must be proud how you can fart in front of her and think it's cute and not just you being lazy. ,dan'
CitizenToxie72 Vice isn't exactly known for having the best interviewers. I'm just happy that it wasn't some entitled hipster being rammed down our throats.
Herman Melville Im pretty unfamiliar with their shit so I wouldn't know. I was excited to watch this but ended up turning it off about half way through
Inherent Vice was really underrated, I enjoyed it pretty much the whole way through despite the plot not being the most coherent towards the end. I've not watched it again yet but it's probably better on repeat viewings too, like all of his stuff since Punch Drunk Love (which I remember not liking very much at all when I first saw it and now it might be my favourite movie)
Stop complaining about the interviewer's style. If you've watched a lot of PTA interviews you can tell he usually gets annoyed by a lot of the questions. The interviewer here had a more conversational attitude, and it worked to get Paul talking comfortably. I think many of the people commenting wouldn't be saying anything about this if the interviewer was male. Much of vice's audience skews male so I'm not surprised at the hateful comments. But guys you gotta realize if the answers to the interview are good then it's a good interview. I came to read comments about Inherent Vice and PTA, not to write one defending this very fine interview.
It took me 7 years... 7 years to “get this film” and mind you I am a major admirer of Anderson’s oeuvre and have been so for 21 years. I was very hyped for this movie when the first trailer was released and thought it was going to be a tru out and out comedy. I was sorely let down and found it ( at first mind you to be a meandering, mumbling mess that made no sense). But as of just recently ( and I do mean just recently.... yesterday in fact) I adjusted the volume settings on my t.v and tuned out all distractions and really truly watched and listened to the movie ( when I watch Anderson I really mainly watch for the visuals, I love his cinematography and camera movements). And boy was I wrong, it is such a beautiful movie , labyrinthine and engaging with this underlying melancholy and sadness. I think a lot of my problem was some of the dialogue was “mumbly” which Inherent Vice is one of those films where you cannot be just a casual viewer and must really pay attention to every single speck of dialogue to put the peices of the jigsaw puzzle like plot together. Underrated gem of a movie.
If it takes 7 years to like a film, It's probably failing at getting its ideas across. Huge PTA fan but I just watched this last night again and it's pure hogwash lol
@@N0va I’m mean on the surface sure it doesn’t make a lick of sense but considering that’s how Thomas Pynchon writes you could kinda say that it worked it wasn’t really about a plot it was more about the atmosphere of the 60s slowly fading away and transitioning into the 70s
@@mohammedashian8094 I actually read the book and loved the themes in it. Feels like the ideas come across way better in the novel. It's still a tough read but it makes sense.
@@N0va I just finished reading it for the first time the other day, and something that struck me was the way a lot of important context regarding the meaning of certain scenes is conveyed through the prose itself, like the way things in the narration are described, and I feel like that wouldn't necessarily translate very well to film.
This is the only movie I've ever seen where I can confidently say that the confusing part is the amount of dialogue which is plot critical that might slip by the first several viewings, as opposed to "this is vapid pretense passing as art". The plot is there. I've seen it about 10 times now and I get pretty much exactly what's happening. It's just that there's a lot of important dialogue.
@@WW-sx5zu As wolfman tells Doc early on, 'she's gone'. She got caught up with Wolfman and that was that. There are a number of different stories that intersect, much like in Magnolia, only in this film, we see the events through the eyes of Doc, who is stoned the whole movie! He's not an unreliable narrator as such, he just too high to see things as they are. Often times, things that appear to be happening to Doc are drug fueled reveries! Shasta's second visit to him, that's in Doc's imagination. For a better insight, I'd take a look at the wiki guide to the novel. It will go in to 'the day that happens twice'. That may help you get the movie more.
I haven't seen the movie yet, but I found this interview style refreshing. I like the conversation-style much better than those terrible recycled questions that directors and actors have to churn out the same b.s. for.
I have been looking forward to this for a very long time, watched the trailer a million times, and now it's not going to be at any theater near me (at least not right away). FML.
Anderson, great director meets Thomas Pynchon who has to be our greatest living novelist. I’m reading Pynchon’s “Against The Day.” Amazing. So good it’s impossible to put down & impossible to read in the time of COVID. Reviewers said the book doesn’t need to be not read it needs to be studied.
@David Lean - I remember The Master fight scene between Hoffman as L Ron Hubbard & Phoenix. I’ll see it again. “Against The Day” title is biblical, “the heavens and the earth ... [are] reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men." (Tarantino movie). Against The Day is meta fiction & meta reality that’s supposed to be superstition & delusion but isn’t. Bilocation, temporal displacement etc. Might be why Pynchon leaves no trace of himself apart from weird fiction & one Inherent Vice movie. Inherent Vice or IV, a clue as to how anyone can write like him.
You got it right the first time & the novel is even worse, boring is an understatement for this film It was so obvious that he was never stoned during any of the movie & pretending to smoke weed & trying to be funny was exhausting to watch !
@@majortom4658 Haven't seen the movie yet but I just finished the novel and it was absolutely incredible. The sheer precision of Pynchon's prose is truly something to behold, and I wonder how well that could translate to film, because a lot of the important meaning and context for things that happen is expressed through the phrasing and way that things are described within the book's narration rather than what's actually happening.
Just to let you all know, Meredith Danluck is not a journalist. She's another filmmaker. That's why she's having a discussion with him on film as opposed to asking him traditional questions.
"The wind brought the desert to the sky to taste it. The horizon brought you the sea and didn't give it to you but let you drink." ,dan' (thirst as I have and starve to life as I hope to do)
How is it possible for the esteemed interviewee to be more humble than the interviewer? Then again, it could be much worse. Just look at that recent Duncan Jones interview.
I so agree with PTA about actors. It is a noble craft, because that labour can only be sustained by love. It's HARD! No quick wins, no easy outs. I admire the persistence and commitment of my actor friends all the time. ONA, the interview style is conversational, a modern trait, but PTA goes along with it so we end up with a really nice exchange and insight into his film.
The trailer was so bad I’m glad I just went into this film cold. I’ve seen it about 10 times now. His films just take you on so many different journeys.
An interviewer should be no-one. Short questions, insightful questions, the more open-ended the better. The point is to get the interviewee talking, it is not to introduce your own interpretations, asinine notions, etc. The interviewee should be going off of minimal goading, stream of consciousness, they should not have to be reacting to the interviewer's interpretations-
what do you think the role of criticism is lol? the director of the movie should be asked questions about interpretations of it unless theyre david lynch LOL
vice has the best interviewers!! tired of watching interviews where the interviewer is sucking cliche information out of the guest..genuine interest is key
the movie is truly a linear story with rich characters. It is a story that takes me some place. I feel as though I can ride along and that I want to ride along. It is an honest story, as it depicts human nature truthfully. It has the level of the characters and how they interact, and then it has the level of what is happening in the culture, and it tells both those stories extremely well, simply by depicting human nature honestly.
I wasn't completely sure she was dead until the scene between Doc and Mickey Wolfman. Most importantly it was not the words they were speaking specifically.. it was Eric Roberts eyes when he's asked "Where's Shasta". As soon as I saw Roberts eyes I knew absolutely 100% she was gone. Shasta went out on the boat with the Aryan Brotherhood guy with the swastika on his face, because he came back from the boat ride with Shasta's favorite necklace that she never parts with. Roberts eyes, the necklace, and in retrospect the first phone call between Doc and Bigfoot. Bigfoot yelled sternly about Shasta being gone. SHES GONE. SHES GONE DOC. MOVE ON. I don't know what PTA said to Eric Roberts to get that scene out of him, it was amazing. I haven't really thought of Eric Roberts as a nuanced actor, historically Roberts wheelhouse is more being obnoxious, at little slimy, and then throw in an ugly-cry in there somewhere. Roberts eyes in this movie express tenderness and regret and sadness. Great Job everyone!
Meredith Danluck sits down with filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson to talk about his new surf noir, an adaptation of Thomas Pynchon's 2009 novel, _Inherent Vice_. He also shares an exclusive trailer: bit.ly/1yG5d3D
I'm really glad you brought that up. I completely agree. She seems like one of those pretentious Sundance Q&Aers. "Um, I am really observant, and a really good filmmaker. Thanks, thats all I had to say."
***** I'd give her a different pair, true but she does seem a bit like a control freak so maybe they do fit her after all.. aw yeah the word is authority, not pretentious. Pretentious is you telling others what not to wear
@@tonywords6713 Coke and ecstasy according to his ex. He even admits to the coke in at least one interview. Tarantino was too, hence the ego mania lol PTA always managed to keep that dialed down, at least in interviews.
really excited for this movie, but since it doesnt come out here until late feb, im gonna have to wait for a week until screeners show up online im really excited for joaquin's performance, since i liked the book so much and i wanna see how he plays doc
maybe you should get you're hearing checked? Anyways....it's a homage to PTA's hero, Robert Altman, who was well known for using overlapping and unintelligible dialogue in his films
Anmol Singh Yea but Paul has since apologized, so there's that. As for the whole inception of the predicament I think it's just ridiculous on Paul's part for him to say what he said.
I love PTA. But let him speak. Not a great interview. His thoughts kept getting interrupted with clips and the interviewer is not even asking questions 🤣 Just showing how smart she is.
I've never hear of Meredith Danluck before, but, I will never forget her now, She is AWESOME. And PTA is always an intelligent, understated gentleman. I wish he'd shave, but I get it, he's like some "hipster dufis from the Slower east side" a man of the people.... SHAVE, and put on an Armani suit already!!! We will still love and respect you and see your films.
freshrr2 Because he is still too young and good looking, he can pull a "Brando" in 15 years if he wants. Ugh, young people are so stupid!! If that comment makes you or anyone else mad it's because your young and Stupid.
Excellent director and a great interview, although I kinda felt the Meredith should have dismissed the crew and gone at it, in the parlance of the day. There was some chemistry there.
I see people arguing about Nolan in the comments section and I saw someone claim that his films are original and innovative. I just have one thing to say, There will be Blood is about as original and innovative as you can get, it is a true masterwork.
Great interview! The only thing that really bothered me was the way they kept pronouncing Pynchon... Yes, I know there is some disagreement out there about how it is really pronounced. I'm just used to hearing it the other way, both in my own head when I read his name, and typically when I hear other people discuss his books.
youre infront of possibly the greatest living director... and instead of asking questions, you just talk about yourself and what you liked about the movie... what a let down
VICE, why is there an annoying GIANT graphic on the youtube screen telling me I can skip around on a 20 minute interview? It's distracting as all hell. Please demote whichever creative was responsible for that idiocy.
Jesus, UA-cam is just full of you unsatisfied phlegm. I'm not talking about everyone in general, only referring to a few reoccurring comments that I have seen. This is all too common on these interviews on Vice. I, for one, thought that it was quite a simple, fun interview with a very talented, yet humble director. What more do you people want? Instead on bullhead bashing the interviewer of doing a bad job, remark on what they should be focusing on instead. Thank you for reading, sorry to sound ranty. Have a good one. :)
keywolf23 Yeah stop talking shit and start laying down some constructive criticism That being said. I think she could have asked more open-ended questions.
I'm just 30 minutes into Inherent Vice and god I loved every moment of it.Top notch Dialogues,acting,cinematography,everything.I loved Boogie Nights,The Master but to me Inherent Vice seems the best movie of Paul Thomas Anderson.I can just power of the TV and still this first 30 minutes would be my favorite 2014 movie.Who am I kidding?!Gotta see the rest.Cheers
You mean Unionist men from The Orange Order?! I am going to give you the benefit of the doubt and not accuse you of commenting on a president ie Trump who was not even in office when Inherent Vice came out!!
This guy's movies are amazing, every time I watch one of his movies I feel weird afterwards like reality itself has changed.
I feel the same way. My favorite director. His movies just have an electricity, a vive, life force I don't get from any other film maker.
Robert Bucchianeri Agreed with both of you...I think it's his level of emotion/imagination inherent in his personality that translates in all of his films. Great filmmakers can create a world of their own to a degree.
I know what you mean. Inherent Vice and The Master in particular.
J Briggs Same I get it from other directors too like Harmony Korine. Good books as well
The opening scene of Magnolia gives me the chills - he knows how to work your emotions.
Such an underrated gem. It's the type of film where the more you watch it, the better and better it gets.

Awesome director! I would have expected his voice to sound a bit more like his father’s (rip Ernie Anderson)
Alot of these Vice Film interviews seem to be about the interviewer trying to show how smart and "in the know" they are.
She's a cool lady in LA. That's their deal.
This is a "conversation" NOT an interview.
This is such a stoner convo I love it
i;m drunk and your glasses are to big
I wasn't completely sure she was dead until the scene between Doc and Mickey Wolfman. Most importantly it was not the words they were speaking specifically.. it was Eric Roberts eyes when he's asked "Where's Shasta". As soon as I saw Roberts eyes I knew absolutely 100% she was gone. Shasta went out on the boat with the Aryan Brotherhood guy with the swastika on his face, because he came back from the boat ride with Shasta's favorite necklace that she never parts with. Roberts eyes, the necklace, and in retrospect the first phone call between Doc and Bigfoot. Bigfoot yelled sternly about Shasta being gone. SHES GONE. SHES GONE DOC. MOVE ON.
I don't know what PTA said to Eric Roberts to get that scene out of him, it was amazing. I haven't really thought of Eric Roberts as a nuanced actor, historically Roberts wheelhouse is more being obnoxious, at little slimy, and then throw in an ugly-cry in there somewhere. Roberts eyes in this movie express tenderness and regret and sadness. Great Job everyone!
An interview with Meredith Danluck as she interprets the film Inherent Vice for the viewers.
He has such an opposite perspective on watching movies in a plane than anyone I've ever met.
Meredith Danluck sits down with filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson to talk about his new surf noir, an adaptation of Thomas Pynchon's 2009 novel, _Inherent Vice_. He also shares an exclusive trailer: bit.ly/1yG5d3D
I think Meredith is getting on a lil surf in her noir, if you know what I mean ;)
Fire her! Is it too hard to ask real questions?
Larry Newman
At the end of the day, maybe it is.
Scott Coveau It's not.
The interviewer is so cool I mean shitty, fucking, I'd like to grind her glasses with my boot heal while on her face,
Its embarrassing when you fancy the interviewee so much that you start spounting stuff like: "Acting: I think its the hardest job you can do.".
Glad to see PTA, but awful interviewer... ask more, talk less, no one cares about the fact that the shots almost made you fall off your chair
I'm really glad you brought that up. I completely agree. She seems like one of those pretentious Sundance Q&Aers. "Um, I am really observant, and a really good filmmaker. Thanks, thats all I had to say."
She isn't pretentious, she's obviously wetting her panties over talking with Paul.
***** I'd give her a different pair, true but she does seem a bit like a control freak so maybe they do fit her after all.. aw yeah the word is authority, not pretentious. Pretentious is you telling others what not to wear
***** Sorry about that last part, I must've read your comment wrong. I'm rather tired from work lately
lol, i read it seconds before she said it and it was perfect
She needs to let him talk more....I'm not watching this interview to hear how much she has to say...
yep.
I have a feeling when he's talking about watching movies "on a plane" or "on the ground" he's talking about, you know, being high...
+maulCS Ahaaaa! yeah
He's on record saying he doesn't get high and is not a stoner.
Bruce Wayne sure used to do a fuck ton of coke though
@@BruceWayne-zj1kw Not now, but he was back in the day.
@@tonywords6713 Coke and ecstasy according to his ex. He even admits to the coke in at least one interview. Tarantino was too, hence the ego mania lol PTA always managed to keep that dialed down, at least in interviews.
If I didn't know any better, I could've sworn that was Mark Hamill.
Man I love PTA
really excited for this movie, but since it doesnt come out here until late feb, im gonna have to wait for a week until screeners show up online
im really excited for joaquin's performance, since i liked the book so much and i wanna see how he plays doc
I think the interviewer did fine? Lol y’all are babies
Ask him why he made a movie that is 150 minutes of people whispering to each other.
i loved the movie and this is a great comment
maybe you should get you're hearing checked? Anyways....it's a homage to PTA's hero, Robert Altman, who was well known for using overlapping and unintelligible dialogue in his films
+citizentoxie52 yeah that's nice and all, but I would still like to hear the dialogue, call me old fashioned.
Matthew Ferguson Maybe just old? I could hear most of the dialogue perfectly fine
Yeah, and the narrator's voice was very annoying.
imo, people got so involved in the plot that they didn't realise how funny the movie actually is!
Meredith Danluck....she had a movie come out last month...”State like sleep”... according to Wikipedia it grossed $4282.00
Would love to see him and Fincher conversate.
Louis Stevens Experience You won't because Paul and David are not on good terms. Paul bad-mouthed Fight Club and also wished death on David .
Anmol Singh
Yea but Paul has since apologized, so there's that. As for the whole inception of the predicament I think it's just ridiculous on Paul's part for him to say what he said.
I love PTA. But let him speak. Not a great interview. His thoughts kept getting interrupted with clips and the interviewer is not even asking questions 🤣 Just showing how smart she is.
That part about Hope Harlingen was great
I've never hear of Meredith Danluck before, but, I will never forget her now, She is AWESOME. And PTA is always an intelligent, understated gentleman. I wish he'd shave, but I get it, he's like some "hipster dufis from the Slower east side"
a man of the people.... SHAVE, and put on an Armani suit already!!! We will still love and respect you and see your films.
Yea he's always kinda looked/been like that tho. I don't want to see him lookin like Nolan or anything, personally..
ssevf Because.
freshrr2 Because he is still too young and good looking, he can pull a "Brando" in 15 years if he wants. Ugh, young people are so stupid!! If that comment makes you or anyone else mad it's because your young and Stupid.
Am i the only one who walked out loving this movie to death
Yes :(
Love this movie. My favourite character's gotta be Bigfoot Bjornsen
this interview is horrible, let PTA speak, don't dilute his conscience with your opinions
The most misunderstood film ever. I thought this movie was amazing.
It was totally amazing.
Excellent director and a great interview, although I kinda felt the Meredith should have dismissed the crew and gone at it, in the parlance of the day. There was some chemistry there.
I see people arguing about Nolan in the comments section and I saw someone claim that his films are original and innovative. I just have one thing to say, There will be Blood is about as original and innovative as you can get, it is a true masterwork.
it's book adaptation dude
qwe qwe the story called Oil was just a setup for the movie. I saw a whole hourlong interview where PTA and DDL confirm this
Paul Thomas Anderson is a famous director.
Great interview!
The only thing that really bothered me was the way they kept pronouncing Pynchon... Yes, I know there is some disagreement out there about how it is really pronounced. I'm just used to hearing it the other way, both in my own head when I read his name, and typically when I hear other people discuss his books.
Came to watch PTA. Got 15 mins of her talking, 2 mins of film clips & 3 mins of PTA saying “well it’s really not that deep fam”
To me, this movie rivals Boogie Nights and There Will Be Blood as my favorite PTA movie
pta is a smooth guy
i love this movie so much
I get the sense the interviewer would much rather interview herself.
youre infront of possibly the greatest living director... and instead of asking questions, you just talk about yourself and what you liked about the movie... what a let down
You get more and more out of this film every time you watch it .
VICE, why is there an annoying GIANT graphic on the youtube screen telling me I can skip around on a 20 minute interview? It's distracting as all hell. Please demote whichever creative was responsible for that idiocy.
This man reminds of a skinny version of Zach Galifianakis. His voice, the way he speaks and his face. It's his father or something.
So he just said his own movie is "kinda boring", why saying that? Wonder why it only got half its budget.
anyone knows where i can see this movie?? please i need to see it :(
Jesus, UA-cam is just full of you unsatisfied phlegm. I'm not talking about everyone in general, only referring to a few reoccurring comments that I have seen. This is all too common on these interviews on Vice. I, for one, thought that it was quite a simple, fun interview with a very talented, yet humble director. What more do you people want? Instead on bullhead bashing the interviewer of doing a bad job, remark on what they should be focusing on instead.
Thank you for reading, sorry to sound ranty. Have a good one. :)
Keywolf23, you're really pushing my buttons.
Is it wrong to expect a certain standard from any mode of entertainment? Jesus
keywolf23
Yeah stop talking shit and start laying down some constructive criticism
That being said. I think she could have asked more open-ended questions.
If the interviewer was male no one would have said anything
I'm just 30 minutes into Inherent Vice and god I loved every moment of it.Top notch Dialogues,acting,cinematography,everything.I loved Boogie Nights,The Master but to me Inherent Vice seems the best movie of Paul Thomas Anderson.I can just power of the TV and still this first 30 minutes would be my favorite 2014 movie.Who am I kidding?!Gotta see the rest.Cheers
pause at 15:59
you can tell this woman is having a hard time not blurting out the words "orange man bad!!" throughout the whole interview
You mean Unionist men from The Orange Order?! I am going to give you the benefit of the doubt and not accuse you of commenting on a president ie Trump who was not even in office when Inherent Vice came out!!
Such a great movie
