Mulligan and Fassbender were the actors who played in the film ‘Shame’ and now, they are reuniting to discuss their perspectives. This is a great reunion for them. Thanks for pairing them up!
i mean not really. she's just not mainstream popular like margot robbie but that's not her lane. she's very much recognized within the industry. her filmography speaks for itself.
People, stop using "underrated" in completely the wrong context. Mulligan is HIGHLY rated by pretty much everyone in the business. You mean under-appreciated? Overlooked by awards?
One of the best things that the year of 2023 did for the filmmaking industry was bring Michael Fassbender back into the world. Not saying he was ever truly gone, but there was a slump in time where we really did miss him for just how great of an actor he is. Him being in two movies this year and NOW here with a Variety Actors on Actors you can only be happy for the guy.
I agree. Such a talented and classy actor, taking a break from acting for years, then suddenly making a comeback with David Fincher and Taika Waititi films. Plus, appearing on "Actors on Actors." Incredible.
He said in 2016 that he was gonna take a long break from acting. Then in early 2017 he started racing and got married. He has also had a kid and started an acting school
Michael truly is one of the finest and most underrated actors of any generation and he should've collected every award with his performances in movies like Jobs, Shame and Twelve years a slave.
@@KB-ej8hm I think he is less known than he deserves. For example, we see Ryan Gosling in everywhere but Fassbender is much better actor than Gosling. I dont know maybe being a celebrity is different than being an actor.
I am thinking, after just watching this, that it is nice to watch & listen to a pairing where the two actors are NOT fawning all over each other and saying how wonderful the other is. Mulligan and Fassbender actually had a conversation.
So glad to hear that Michael hasn't given up on his racing dream entirely. Having watched Porsche's series with him on 'The Road to LeMans,' it was one of the best sports documentary series out there and Michael was a very compelling subject because you see his struggles along with the achievements. If you're into racing and haven't seen them, I HIGHLY recommend it.
Two amazing, brilliant actors. Carey deserved the Oscar for both An Education and Promising Young Woman. And a nomination for Suffragette. Fassbender is always phenomenal, too. I really enjoyed this conversation. Can't wait to see Maestro!
The most underappreciated aspect of "Shame" was definitely Carey Mulligan's singing. I hope somebody cast her in a musical movie, she has such an amazing singing voice
They are just lovely humans and clearly close friends. They have that natural ability to let the conversation flow so effortlessly and are truly passionate and engaged with each other. SIGH. What humans in general used to be like before phones. Also I adore the she brings up Fincher's notorious scene takes (who doesn't want to work with Fincher!) and Fassbender is the first actor to almost shield that question and instead allows us to know that Fincher is generous to everyone and speaks the same way to everyone on set. Such grace they both have.
Absolutely loved this conversation. They are so relaxed and natural around each other. Almost felt like i was a fly on the wall listening in on two friends catching up.
Carey Mulligan eventually will earn one Oscar. She is underrated by the Academy pundits. Fassbender is a force of nature. A natural talent for big screen.
These two gave some of my favorite performances of the decade in Shame. Watching their scenes together in that movie genuinely feels like an invasion of privacy. Brilliant acting.
i was thinking that, too. most of these roles i cant imagine being anything other than terrified to take on as well as perform in front of a camera. but they pick them and tackle them.
I really love what Michael Fassbender share about his racing experience. Especially calling it an ego test, since injuries and losing is part of the game. Just so much respect to him for trying out one of his life long dream despite how hard it must be.
The moment I saw these two in "Shame" I was flabbergasted. They both did such an incredible job. At the time, I was much younger, and I admit. a movie like that did jolt me in some kind of way. But that is what a good film, and good acting does; to make you feel uncomfortable. It's nice to see Fassbender back on the screen again! He is so magnetic.
@@samtan4729 Well, most movies don't get any nominations at the Academy Awards. Are all but the movies at the Oscar's overlooked? It has to be something else to a movie being overlooked than merely being excluded fom the Academy Awards, or else most movies ever produced are overlooked.
@@samtan4729academy awards don’t usually recognize the actual best films of the year. every year many excellent films get left out. green book one best picture lol
I loved this interview SO much. Is the first time that both actors talk about acting as a job, with insurance, time constraints and how their job is only a part of this huge industry.
Although I enjoy all of these pairings. These two are the humblest and most sincere so far. The others kept complemeting themselves in a fake way. These two were honest.
I love these Actors on Actors interviews.I'm a fiction writer and I learn so much about detailing scenes in my work. These two are epic actors. I love when she laughs.
Michael Fassbender is just a dream. {swoon} ☺️His wife is also perfection. Both Michael & Carey are incredible, talented actors. Inglorious Bastards is still my fav.
Carey is always a top favourite of mine, and I do love so many other actors in these; however, I do think this is one of the most evenly matched conversations. Most of these, one actor is a bit more conversational or talks about it themselves in an unequal measure (no judgement! It just happens!) but this was a proper 50/50 exchange. Love to see it!
So glad these two are mashed up here for this series. Both excellent actors. Steve McQueen is one of my favorite directors and Shame is such a great film. Indeed captured a perspective and character of NYC.
When Fassbender says Shame took him time to get over. I can believe it. I use to see him I. Interviews long after and felt creeped out. That’s a tough film.
Shame is one of my favorite films and it breaks my heart each time. I always cry. There's so much to unpack there. Alexander is just a brilliant director, and these two were fantastic. So much talent combined.
Steve McQueen always brings out the best Fassbender. Hunger, Shame, 12 Years A Slave. Fassy is already talented but Steve just knows how to amplify that talent even more.
İ like his acting skills...His tears, his smile, his rage...All of the emotions he portrayed...İ love his character. İ wish i could see him again as Magneto.
It's magnetic how intense Michael Fassbender is even when he is smiling.
he is magneto
i see what you did there
yeah your comment is so predictable ha:)@@Rawmadeus
What??@@Rawmadeus
One could say he has a magnetic personality 😉
Mulligan and Fassbender were the actors who played in the film ‘Shame’ and now, they are reuniting to discuss their perspectives. This is a great reunion for them. Thanks for pairing them up!
Shame is a very good movie by the way ;)
@davidlovesfilmthe weird thing is that I think they also had a sexual tension 😂
@davidlovesfilm hahaha that was my guess tho. it's weird but they were the siblings tho and we don't want that kind of scene 🤣
why did you write that as an npc

Carey Mulligan is such an underrated actress
@@roshiseneviratne2943 yes
i mean not really. she's just not mainstream popular like margot robbie but that's not her lane. she's very much recognized within the industry. her filmography speaks for itself.
She's got nominated for Academy award, and won tons of major awards. She is quite well-known but chose to keep a low profile.
People, stop using "underrated" in completely the wrong context. Mulligan is HIGHLY rated by pretty much everyone in the business. You mean under-appreciated? Overlooked by awards?
If you used this like 5 years ago, I'd agree with you. But now she has been getting a decent recognition

He started racing in the le mans series
@@genetik0079 ya I saw that pretty impressive
What movies?
He said in 2016 that he was gonna take a long break from acting.
Then in early 2017 he started racing and got married. He has also had a kid and started an acting school
Imagine the courage it took Fassbender to embody that character in Shame. Must have been absolutely brutal
He's so good
Having sex with lots of people? Myst have been awful...
In hunger he was even better. Starved himself
@@PowerfulWill-ul4vntotally brutal, it isn’t about the sex, it’s about the addiction and sadness of it
Total courage, so hard to play this sad, troubled, broken character taking all his neurotic stuff out through sex
Those two are seriously amazing actors. I hope that they win an Oscar Award
Mulligan should already have one. But its happening one day, just not next year
She might win for Maestro. Depends what category they place her in. She could win Best Supporting Actress.@@LouiseAndersen1991
Carey should've had one already with either An Education or Promising Young Woman
Has Fassbender even been nominated? If yes, for what? And if not, for shame!
@@DeeEllEffYes, he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for 12 Years A Slave and Best Actor for Steve Jobs. Sadly, he was not nominated for Shame
Michael truly is one of the finest and most underrated actors of any generation and he should've collected every award with his performances in movies like Jobs, Shame and Twelve years a slave.
They tik er Jobs!
how is he underrated? he's totally not.
Don’t forget his iconic performance as Magneto
What about inglorious bastards with the two different languages with that performance, he's up there with Christian bale tbh
@@KB-ej8hm I think he is less known than he deserves. For example, we see Ryan Gosling in everywhere but Fassbender is much better actor than Gosling. I dont know maybe being a celebrity is different than being an actor.

No

I love love love carey mulligan she blew me away in promising young woman
You need to watch An Education
Small film on Netflix she’s casually brilliant in - The Dig

Can't agree more on Carey Mulligan winning both those times. She was phenomenal in both.
Damn, I really want Carey to win for An Education or Promising Young Woman. Such a shame really
AI
Her performance is the suffragette was incredible and far from the madding crowd! Give this woman and Oscar
A nomination for Shame as well, in which she played Michael Fassbender's sister.
The most underappreciated aspect of "Shame" was definitely Carey Mulligan's singing. I hope somebody cast her in a musical movie, she has such an amazing singing voice
Already happened, she has performed in several films already.
She has a wonderful song in Far From the Madding Crowd:
ua-cam.com/video/UNP9fvStXC4/v-deo.htmlsi=Q3ytnroP3eMLfeBw
I still listen to her version of new york new york until today!
Fassbender is really good with music too, playing an eccentric genius in "Frank".
Shame is an outstanding film, both of them have always given great performances

She has a beautiful voice for narration and voiceovers.
This is breaking my little mind-what a pairing! I loved Shame, The Killer, and am so looking forward to Maestro.
Absolutely loved this conversation. They are so relaxed and natural around each other. Almost felt like i was a fly on the wall listening in on two friends catching up.
Carey deserves the Oscar for Maestro, brilliant and haunting.
Carey Mulligan is such a treasure, love her so much!
As soon as I saw the two actors participating in this episode I was ready to go. Great talents on both sides.
These two together...awesome
I remember Carey singing in Shame.
Brilliant actors right here.
Both have come along way.
Carey Mulligan eventually will earn one Oscar. She is underrated by the Academy pundits.

These two gave some of my favorite performances of the decade in Shame. Watching their scenes together in that movie genuinely feels like an invasion of privacy. Brilliant acting.
What a lovely exchange...of course, they're so British/Irish in their self-deprecation and modesty throughout. Class acts.

@@lea-anne9133 i beg to differ. Its validation by people in the same field. Is it always done right? Nope. But when it is it is beautiful
I love how this conversation flows so fluently! That is really nice... It doesnt seems to be a "tried" conversation
It’s great when you actually get to watch one of these where the actors are talking about their craft, and not about toxic fandom.
Omg which one had toxic fandom discussion LMAO
@@jamescarr1265 tell me if you find who did lol

Love her! Met her whilst working in a shop. She is beautiful - friendly and has a really magical presence.
both were amazing in Shame. Sadly is a very overlooked movie. Such a masterwork by McQueen.
In what way is the movie overlooked? How do you judge the movie as overlooked?

One of my most favourite movies ever. It's an absolute masterpiece. It shook me deeply when I watched it.
Michael Fassbender is an extremely talented actor that needs just as much buzz as any other actor in Hollywood right now
he's an abuser no he doesn't
@@queenb2450no, he is not and you can cry about it
He does not run after the limelight like so many others ! This is why! Many call the photographers !
@@queenb2450 There is no proof that he is.
@@HhjHh-fo4udhe is. do your research lol.
Made me earn more respect for Cary. As someone who was also turned down by MFA acting schools and still is pursing the path.
Oh My Gosh more Carey Mulligan content !!!! So happy to see her! She is awesome
Not gonna lie, for some reason this was the one I was the most excited about. What a duo!
I loved this interview SO much. Is the first time that both actors talk about acting as a job, with insurance, time constraints and how their job is only a part of this huge industry.

She gave a magical performance in Maestro
Shame was a fantastic movie. I'm glad they're having a reunion
Carey features in my favourite Doctor Who episode “Weeping angels” - great to see her progression since then!
They're both so brilliant and perceptive.
Their humility is astounding.
I love these Actors on Actors interviews.I'm a fiction writer and I learn so much about detailing scenes in my work. These two are epic actors. I love when she laughs.
Any thing Carey does is actually extraordinary, she never has an off movie or moment. Pure class!
Two of the finest actors. This is hands down the best episode of the season!!
I need to rewatch SHAME, it was so good.
I could listen them for hours! Such talent actors! I missed watching Michael Fassbender on the screen and like, doing theses types of promo!
They're both phenomenonal and underrated actors. I can't believe they turned Carey Mulligan away as many times.
Michael Fassbender is just a dream. {swoon} ☺️His wife is also perfection. Both Michael & Carey are incredible, talented actors. Inglorious Bastards is still my fav.

these two highly intelligent people are so refreshing!
They were great in Shame movie!
Variety just decided to drop like seven insane interviews in December
Relax. It is just two human beings talking about their work. Stop the celebrity worship. God comes first.
Adoro a Michael Fassbender, excelente actor y es un hombre agradable y guapísimo ❤❤❤
“Shame” is such a powerful film ever.
Shame is one of my favourite movies… love it so much
Fassbender is unforgettable in literally every role hes in, and as much as i wanna see him more im glad he doesn't work in an over saturated manner.
I loove this kind of conversations❤
They were incredible in Shame. This film had a profound effect on me.
Me too, deeply haunting
Carey ❤ my favorite actress in the world.
So glad these two are mashed up here for this series. Both excellent actors. Steve McQueen is one of my favorite directors and Shame is such a great film. Indeed captured a perspective and character of NYC.
That was a very good conversation. Both really good humoured and respectful
lovely interview - Shame was not an easy watch but Carey's character and the ambiguous nature of their (dark) backstory was thrilling.
A gentleman amongst gentlemen Mr. Fassbender❤
Such a great co-interview! These two seem such lovely and genuine people it was a pleasure to watch. Thanks for this!
What a great conversation that just flows so quickly. Really love the work these two actors have created. Thanks for bringing them together ❤🙌🏻👏🏻
I love Steve McQueen and this conversation is lovely!
Carey deserves an Oscar for this interview.
This is a Joy. ❤
When Fassbender says Shame took him time to get over. I can believe it. I use to see him I. Interviews long after and felt creeped out. That’s a tough film.
They are electric together in Shame
Hoping that this interview gets people who haven't seen Shame to watch it. Highly overlooked film, fantastic in all aspects.
Not to be confused with Shane. Completely different genre.
Thank you for this reunion. They are great in shame. I wish another film with this couple.
Thank you for this. Pairing 2 of my favorite actors with such honesty and tact. Well done.

Amazing dedicated actors !
It's amazing how much Carey Mulligan's career has grown after seeing her as Sally Sparrow in Doctor Who's Blink
i was thinking when she played Kitty Bennet in Pride & Prejudice. she had almost no lines in that one. and seems so long ago now (2005).
Absolutely agree with them about the Secretary. She's easily my favorite performance in The Killer. SO GOOD!
İ like his acting skills...His tears, his smile, his rage...All of the emotions he portrayed...İ love his character. İ wish i could see him again as Magneto.
