Jodie Foster Breaks Down Her Career, from “Silence of the Lambs” to “Hotel Artemis”
Every movie she talks about, she wasn't the first choice yet she fought for it n got it. It's really inspiring
...well, scorsese wanted her
Crazy to think that if SOLT had gone with first choice casting, it would have been Gene Hackman and Michelle Pfeiffer. Which I guess *could* have worked, yet Starling and Lecter are probably THE most iconic roles in the careers of Foster and Hopkins.
i bet she fights with beavers
Carl Crow omg 🤨
She is my favorite actress
Jodie's rule to success: if you want something, keep fighting for it. And, never give up
fung csmfung yesss
Yep and the fact that shes Jodie Foster loaded and connected had nothing to do with it.
Also, beat people on the head enough times until you get what you want. o.o
@@ibebangin8101 Jodie wasn't a huge star at the beginning, so stop with your 'nose-up-in-the-air' prissiness.
Deepika Padukone yes and try not to be raped by the producers
Jodie's career is one to be taught in film schools, she has atleast three films which everyone sees in film schools, what a woman, what a talent, what a brain, what a legend 👍💪
Which movies?
@@nickname527 definitely taxi driver and silence of the lambs, but i dont about the third one, maybe panic room?
@@fizzy249 Yeah, I thought Taxi Driver and Silence of the lambs aswell, maybe it is Panic Room.
@@nickname527 Nell, The Accused too
@@vampylolita Yeah, I could definitely see them show those films.
Jodie's someone who you feel smarter after for having listened to.
Well, she has a pretty high IQ to start with.
Mysterywhiteboy78 how much ?
I just hear a contemporary...
@@Spthomas47 love her.oh my
@@marymorgan6535 same.
✌🏽
Johnny Depp:
"can't watch my own movies"
Jodi Foster watching her own movie
"This is great"
LOL
Well... Taxi Driver *is* a great film
Maybe she sees the film as a piece of art she was lucky to be a part of, while Depp sees himself as a piece of art who just happened to be in some situations that was filmed 🤣
She's a director, she has to be able to watch her movies with a level of disconnect that a lot of actors wouldn't be able to.
She has bigger balls
I love hearing about how persistent she had to be to get what she wanted, it reminds me how I also have to seize what I want and be firm in order to progress. You can’t just expect success to happen to you.
Lauren Bennett Absolutely!
Exactly, by the way you have a beautiful last name. I've always liked it
Ugh, so twelve years old while filming Taxi Driver and you dug the final edit because you loved Straw Dogs? Some pretty hardcore stuff that makes Taxi Driver look tame in there.
I tried being persistent in what I wanted but I was told.... I was told, no...
👏🏼👏🏼
Her career is so extensive and varied, she'd be a wonderful asset to a university film department. I can see her teaching a few courses - she'd be great.
funny....i was thinking exactly the contrary... she did nothing really . and the roles she did got were because she "smacked people in the head in order to get it"....anyways...who cares....maybe buddy
menifestation7 "she did nothing"? did you just not watch the video? In that kind of business, she has to take those opportunities. You don't expect someone to just sit around and wait for calls, you go out there and show them you deserve those roles if you know you'd be perfect for them. "Smacking people in the head" could be her metaphor for being persistent, and that wasn't given to all her roles.
@@imamyousomtimes You are quite the simpleton. Jodie didn't actually smack anyone upside the head. What she did was quietly persist in her pursuit of the film roles that she felt would fit her.
Yass!! .. Great comment/ blasé blah
Yass! Great Comment/blasé blah
Bro I love how she had to persist and demand the roles for the Accused and Silence of the Lambs, which are the two movies she has won an oscar for.... bet they were glad they hired her after all.
the accused was too realistic for me-what an actor
Michelle Pfeiffer was the first choice for Silence of the lambs. I like her but I don't think she would have worked as well as Foster did. Annette Bening had to drop out of Batman returns so pfeiffer ended up playing catwoman. Both of those changes seemed like improvements over the first choice.
@@chrispa9573Annette Bening was going to be Catwoman? I had no idea
Should teach us all, esp. girls and women, to advocate hard for what we want. Don’t wait or be afraid to ask for your worth.
_"I guess the theme is if I really love something, I smack people in the head in order to get it."_ No matter if she wasn't the first choice, she fought her way to get it. Inspirational indeed.

"This is great"
"I won't Jodie Foster this kind of behaviour" - Trixie Mattel to Katya
This is how people age when they’re unproblematic.
she looks great ...lokks like early 40s, beautiful lady!
"Unproblematic"?.. What?...
Ligma as in not problematic
@@randomsambero Wtf do you mean by problematic.
@@Scatamahatta being unproblematic simply means staying out of drama and being a chill person
I'm really ashamed to say that I had no idea how much she has produced and directed over the years, who knew I could be more impressed with her!
She is aging amazingly
And naturally; which is a relief.
Classiest woman in the biz. Love her!
Support Film Art and the smartest
Support Film Art he’s a boy
Sophie May no she’s not
Agreed.
money does not buy class
Besides the obvious facts about her for being a beautiful woman and talented actress, I just love her voice and the way she speaks. She has such a confident, powerful, sincere and razor-sharp intelligent voice.
She is not only a great actress and director but also very intelligent. She also speaks French at a native level, so much that she does the voice dubbing for her characters in French. It is amazing to read the comments of French people in French interviews saying that she does not have an accent in that language.
@@jeylful Yah she went to a French school. Speaking French at early age certainly helps with the accent. Hence she doesn't have an accent.
She is SUCH an auteur. She’s one of the most intellectual actresses we have.
Idk if we’d all be saying that if she hadn’t taken the MENSA test. People just don’t perceive women as smart.
@@NAConen Idiot.
@@NAConen wow what an opinion
Jodie Foster just banging on doors constantly
I really like Jodie. She's creative, talented, motivated, and fiercely intelligent. She stars in two of my favorite movies (Silence of the Lambs & Contact) and she even speaks French fluently. She's pretty great.
Sunny Side Up I find her cameo in A Very Long Engagement amusing. She didn’t want all that French to go to waste!
omg Contact was so good
Many people speak other languages.
@@janahcoaching Not at a native level like she does. French people comment that her French is perfect without accent.
@@jeylful Well, here un Europe that's not that unusual. I speak several.
Silence Of The Lambs is the PERFECT film
Probably her best.
Rhys It puts the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again... *ruff*...yes it does precious it gonna get the hose!
“Hello Cla(Rhys)
Its "evening,Clarice", not hello. And it's during there second meeting, not their first. #mandelaeffect
Rhys Hanabel Lector use to creep me out
It's hard to believe she wasn't their first pick for The Accused and Silence of the Lambs. She gave such powerful performances and I can't imagine them with anyone else. I loved Contact and she was so great in that! Such a talented person.
The way she just casually mentions getting mauled by a lion 👸🏼
The other actor in consideration for Clarice was Michelle Pfeiffer. Good actress, but I don't know if she would have completely owned that performance like Jodie Foster did.
It would have been too much like dangerous minds.
When she turned it down then they went to Meg Ryan who also turned it down. Then they went to Jodie.
I just cannot picture Michelle as Clarice! Meg Ryan would be an interesting choice, but the film/result would be different. Jodie was a perfect choice - a strong, willful person she is.
Frail but smart is what JF brought to the role.
Didn't know that. Michelle Pfeiffer is beautiful, smart and sometimes even an excellent actress. But this? No f.....g way. Ms Foster was perfect in this role and made film history.
I love how basically all of her jobs have just been her forcing people to let her do things😂 love Jodie, she deserved all of those jobs
Persuaded, not forced.
Interesting to read you writing that, yet we don't know who her competitors were. Is this on the basis of she was more forceful than her rivals so she deserved it, or she played it better than the others would so she deserved it - flaws in either of those. Or cyperbole?
"I won't Jodie Foster this kind of behaviour" - Trixie Mattel to Katya
Yo I never got that when they said it explain pls 😭🤭
Bloody Venus You don’t get it?
The key word is foster
was looking for this
Omg hahaha that’s what I was thinking of this whole time
I always kind of forget that I actually love Jodie Foster, her acting, her movies. It's strange. She's so low key and under the radar, but when you remember that she exists, it's like - Oh yeah! I like her!
she shuns the limelight of hollywood-so keeps a low profile
Jodie's performance in Contact is my favourite of hers. I know that view won't be popular but she hits an emotional level in it that moves me every single time.
I find it funny that she has to bang on people doors to get roles still....like she always gives 110 percent. Why wouldn't just be like 'your hired' as soon as she asks?
Lare Alexander Short exactly. Every movie she talks about, she wasn't the choice yet the fought for it n got it. It's kind of inspiring
Hollywood only worths (weirdly) dumb people and smart ones like her
*you're
gmawneydawgness Please show yourself out
Because there are hundreds of actors that think they are or just are suitable for roles and either the director or the studio have someone else in mind or they really aren’t suitable. Clooney’s Batman is a case of him being the obvious choice for everyone and failing miserably. Films are all about vision. The writers vision, the director’s vision, the actor’s vision, the studio’s financial vision. Sometimes they align, sometimes they don’t. An actor is only as good as his last job. Not even quality wise but style wise. Keanu Reeves doing Shakespeare speaks to that mismatch. So there really isn’t anything inherently wrong with her having to fight for her roles. Especially, if it’s roles she believes in. It actually adds to her performance.
Jodie Foster is one of the most intelligent and talented artists in the world.
How can you not love Jodie Foster...
I’m disappointed she didn’t speak more about Contact.
That was such a fascinating movie and first thought I had when I clicked to watch this video.
she did talk about it
Katya?
exactly what I thought, she sould make a whole video talking about that movie haha
Dang. Now I have to rewatch everything related to her. She‘s good. Period.
Omg cutest laugh ever I love her 2:19
R D true
R D o
Everybody look at the number of likes right now! I have to thumbs down for Nell!
sounds like a pig snorting
Are you out the closet yet ?? I’m not judging you , I don’t Have a boyfriend or a girlfriend so I’m bymyself
she is just so real, and raw i don't know any other way to describe
That's what he said!
02:16 That adorable snort-laugh.. at a very young age she knew what she wanted and went for it. Definitely one of my all time favorite actress. So so good.
I love Jodie! Sad that she didn't talked about The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane, shot immediately after Taxi Driver. Apparently, she said she didn't liked that movie very much. But it's such a great movie, the script is amazingly good, and her performance is astonishing. Worth seeing it! Also, I love that she dubs all her own performances in French. She's such a brillant person.
I always liked Jodie Foster. What a great actress. What a smile, what a laugh, I could listen to her all day.
She is truly the actress who acts out of passion and for the love of acting. The amount of investment and devotion in every role really shows how authentic and talented she is as a performer.
A modern legend of the game
,😍
One of my favorite actresses. I love her intelligence, her way of thinking and especially, her way of acting. Too bad we don't see her in many films today as we did in the past.
"Accused" was such a powerful movie. She is such an amazing actor and director.
I love her attitude. She is a genius but so humble. That is what makes her more of a genius in my opinion.
I love Panic Room!!!! I'm sad they didn't mention Flightplan I think that film had one of the best twist endings
That creeped the s*** out of me😕
That's not considered a good film.
I loved Flightplan too, I think it's excellent, and I associate Jodie Foster with great thrillers.
Flight plan interestingly was the only female centric film released in 2005 that was a huge box office hit
Yesss I love both
she’s so beautiful i love her
Wow even at three years old she called the shots, haha.
The greatest film actress of our time (sorry Ms. Streep)
Her brilliance is almost unmatched; I mean, just the fact that she acted facing an inanimate object and making like she was responding to a person. I mean, how naïve was I!?
I love her sincerity on and out the screen. Jodie Foster is one of the best and most underrated actress.
Rafael Yrigoyen - how do you know she's not acting? ;) jk
She’s pretty rated to be underrated
How is she underrated? Lol
I can't hear the word contact without thinking of Katya
👍
Daniel Yap SOO TRUE!😂❤️
Wym?
"I will not Jodi Foster this behavior" -Trixie Mattel 😂🤣
as soon as she said contact i jumped RIGHT to the comments
She's overdue of the AFI Lifetime Achievement Award
Ben Swift *SHE DIDN’T GET THAT YET?!*
@@lizlemon3698 sadly no and strangely George Clooney did
Why didn't she talk about "Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane" 1976 with Martin Sheen? I loved that movie, it made a huge impression on me as a teen.
No mention of "Flightplan" either.
Or "The Brave One."
Or the hotel new hampshire
Or freaky Friday
Her experience filming that movie was not pleasant.
"JODIE FOSTER IS MY FAVORITE PERSON SHE IS BEAUTIFUL I LOVE HER."
I want the her in a Wes Anderson movie for some reason
Md Rafiqu Rahman so does wes
Yes please
That would be AMAZING!!!
Yes! That would be great!
Totally!
So many left out, I'd love to know more details of:- Alice doesn't live here anymore, The Little girl who lives down the lane, Bugsy Malone, (Freaky Friday, Candleshoe), Carnie, Hotel New Hampshire, Woody Allen's Shadow and Fog, Flightplan, Elysium.
Jodie Foster is the smartest, most beautiful and most talented actor Hollywood has to offer, she is simply the best, a living legend and a role model for every individual out there 👍👍👍👍
"I had to punch some people in the head to get Silence of the Lambs." Yaassss 👊
I remember that movie. She died at the end?
@@danahughes2239 nope
@@danahughes2239 no
Yes, my favorite role that I did was silence of the lambs.
Lmaoo shut up
I remember having an anxiety attack while watching Panic Room
I remember having a panic room while having an anxiety attack!
Slow burn heart attack the whole way through :(
Thank you Jodie Foster For Punching Down All Doors And Your Amazing Career!
She looks amazing!
Rachel Fifer definitely aging well.
She gets transfusions of baby's blood
Leaving aside her most acclaimed performances (The Silence and The Accused) She was fantastic in Contact. Perfect casting for Dr. Ellie. I always adored Judie
Was hoping she would talk about “Anna and the King” and her collaboration with international star Chow Yun-Fat. 🤔
Yess
I recall her praising him like there was no tomorrow. She also said he was BEAUTIFUL.
'The Little Girl Who Lives Down The Lane' was a brilliant movie. Not mentioned here though... ☹️
Only explains how illustrious her career has been.
Yeah I came for that one
Yeah, she did a ton of stuff when she was young - that would be a very long video if covered all that.
Unfortunately, she did not have a good experience filming that movie.
@@newkid22 That's awful, I've never read about this, did she mention it in an interview?
I want to marry this woman even though she's literally 32 years older than me lmao
Worked for Sarah Paulson 😂
I'm a 28 year old male who thinks she's insanely gorgeous.
His name is ROBERT Paulsen.
+Rachel Lazenby oops..😂😂
Well, you have a better chance with her than any guy does.
I have a crush on her, laying it out there. She is so good
same
Victoria Smith you have a better shot than we'll ever have.
Hobal Grajeda Loool, the truth.
some guy had also a crush on her and he tried to kill the president of the U.S.A BACK IN 1981.
Clarice Starlang way too perfect lol
She was so freaking amazing in Hotel Artemis... and there's a lot about that movie that's awesome. But her character and delivery and timing and all the little nuances, I can't imagine who else could have done all that so masterfully.
WhatisASMR she has to keep so much calm while she’s having a panic attack the whole movie. Genius!
Nell is my absolute favorite movie of hers. Being a person that grew up undiagnosed autistic and struggling to communicate, even though her character is not autistic it really gave me peace to watch the evolution of Nell. She portrayed that chapter beautifully raw. It definitely was her best performance.
This is the happiest I’ve ever been. Today is my birthday.
Happy Birthday!
Daniel Freeman Oh it’s not actually my birthday. I said that because of an impression of this lady that I saw on SNL and was wondering if anyone would get the reference.🤪
Haha I saw this and was just saying this in my head before I saw this. That cracked me up
haha! Well it was the logical thing to say, lol!
She deserves to receive the AFI Life Achievement Award
she received the Cecile b demil award. maybe she will bag the afi. who knows
she received the Cecile b demil award. maybe she will bag the afi. who knows. she omitted maverick. wow..
and Bugsy Malone.
This interview only makes mr respect her more. She carries herself the same way on screen as she does in real life
I was hoping Jodie would discuss working on “Foxes”. I really enjoyed that film.
I clicked on this purely because Katya used to always talk about Contact on UNHhhh and I wanted ANSWERS
WATCH IT! It's soooo good.
Omg katya made me watch contact and now it’s one of my favorite movies
that is literally why i am here
I will jodie foster this kind of behavior
Omg yes
Oh come on! How can you not talk about Bugsy Malone?
and Foxes
MikeMJPMUNCH exactly
or Freaky Friday
Or The Little Girl Who Lived Down The Lane
OCDlove I agree w/mentioned movies
I will not Jodie Foster this behavior
Grandma Deeg 2:49
hoa hoang how dare you
I literally only clicked this video to see how far I’d have to scroll to find a comment saying this. The answer is not far, unsurprisingly. 👒
I have nothing but time for that joke
oh honeyyyyyy
i just love that she fights for what she wants and that alone makes her such a role model to follow
For days and days I could listen to her talk. Such a nice person.
2:19 that little laugh snort is so funny! She seams so genuine
There is also, "The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane" (1976).
I think her performance is masterful in that film.
She's a living legend and a role model
I loved her in Foxes circa ‘78-79. Her character was wise beyond her years and the story really captured the seedy side of LA. Laura Dern’s first film as well!
I love that film and have it on DVD, and Carny too that came out around the same time.
pam0626 So do I, it's a favorite among my friends. I also live Carny, saw it last week again, great experience.
Foxes came out in 1980
Bugsy Malone is her most iconic role for me 🤣 and they F*cking skipped it,
I love that film
Yep me too
I just recently saw her in Nyad and it's one of her best performances in my opinion.
I wish she would make more movies! She’s incredible
Jodie is literally the only actor born in the 60s who deserves the title of LEGEND. Its hard to believe that Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Demi Moore, Johnny Deep, Steve Carrell and most of the brat pack actors are her age
Contact is my favorite of hers. Such a great movie.
Such a tenacious woman and one who would never allow herself to be a victim which is so refreshing in today's current society where so many people, men and women blame others for their lot in life.
Sad she didn't talk about Anna and the King. I know there was a lot of controversy around the making of that film but I just love it so much. It makes me feel all of the things.
Easier to say "google it" then go into it. But the controversy was related to the casting and the location of filming as well as the "romanticization" of what happened (even though it is MUCH better than "The King and I").
Brooke Ann In what way is it better than the king and I ?
It's a lot more historically correct, and a lot less patronizing to the Siamese people. It's still a romanticization, of course, but I think it's a much better film.
Well the majority of audiences and film critics would disagree with you Brooke.
I am fully aware of that, Rob. Maybe if I'd seen The King and I first I'd feel differently/have that emotional attachment to it. But having seen Ann and the King first, having read Anna Leonowens' diaries, there is nothing appealing to me about that film.
Would have loved to hear her talk about “The Little Girl Who Lived Down The Lane.” What it was like making that movie and the themes addressed etc. Always creeped me out.
how I knew I liked women, my first crush ever was Jodie Foster. still do!
Clarice Sterling is my favorite Jodie Foster character.
Some tell me that she is 60 years old, that’s right you can’t
That’s because she’s not
one of my favorite actors to listen to. If you havent check out any of her director commentaries on her films, they are great
I seriously want to see her winning a third Oscar
Top 10 Jodie Foster Films
1. The Silence Of The Lambs
2. Taxi Driver
3. Contact
4. Bugsy Malone
5. The Little Girl who lives down the lane
6. Panic Room
7. Sommersby
8. Nell
9. The Brave One
10. Carnage
I'm glad you mentioned Little Girl Who Lived Down the Lane. I think that is the movie that made me say "I'll go to any movie that Jodie Foster is in..."
Happy to see the brave one in ur top 10. rarely do I see people mention that movie
How could you not include the Accused in this?
I would put Maverick instead of Panic Room, didn't much care for that one
I’m glad that others like contact
I can't believe she didn't mention "Foxes". One of my favorites.
She is one greatest living actress she was in so many iconic roles.
"Another actress in mind" Michelle Pfeiffer haha 😏
They really skipped The Brave One? That's my favorite movie she's in!
That movie is amazing. Neil Jordan + Jodie Foster = Cult Classic.
That movie really broke my heart.
That side shot is great.
Wish she spoke about "The Girl who Lives Down the Lane" that was a fantastic film
i wanted to hear her talk about nim’s island!! i grew up with that movie and have loved it since i can remember
She should direct Black Widow
Carlos Hernandez oh my god. You stated something here 😂 Now I want this to happen LOL
She hates superhero movies tho
Completely
*be black widow
Why? I’m not against the idea, but other than her being a female director what would the reason be?
Jodie has hardly much history with superhero/franchise movies or with directing successful blockbuster films.
Even when you look at what she’s directed they’re mostly drama-orientated with hints of thriller & comedy elements. I’m not sure why she’d mix with Marvel/Black Widow’s vision
