    “How hard was it to get off the ground”
    Probably as hard as it is to finish a thought without being interrupted by Stephen Galloway

    "It's still a very male-oriented business" says the male moderator interrupting the female director as she recalls an anecdote about gender bias.

    • @lucamolta
      @lucamolta 7 років тому +6

      shes not introverted! im introverted. She is just not that typical idea we have of extroverted. They actually did a study about the percentage of people who are introverted and extroverted I think they found that majority of people are somewhere in-between and often fluctuate between those extremes. There's a great TED talk on it. You are right about her though and people like her, she is affable as fuck.

    • @elizabethsmith9624
      @elizabethsmith9624 7 років тому +3

      She's an ENFP and ENFPs tend to feel like introverts deep down; they're the most introverted extroverts.

      i know i wanted to hear about her plays. Its like he is the director of the interview so he gets to choose what is said. But i think a large part of the success of an interview is showing respect for what is being said and the person saying it. He cant be unaware of it, must be trying to make it his signature. I understand guidance is needed sometimes but cut them off a little closer to the end of their answers would ya.

    Greta Gerwig is an incredible woman and an amazing director. I love her movie Lady Bird and I admire her. The movie is very touching and emotional in a relationship between a mother and her daugther. She deserves to win an Oscar for the Best Director. The only and the first woman who won an Oscar for The Best Director was Kathryn Bigelow for The Hurt Locker in 2010. #TimeUpForTheWomen

      K T Probably to give other directors a spot. Peele was on the writer's table and Nolan was on the director's table before alongside greats like Ridley Scott. This year they put directors who made breakout masterpieces, and since Jordan Peele was already on the writer's table, they decided to have someone else instead.

      "Wonder Woman" is critically acclaimed and a big hit. it's also been nominated for awards that involve action or stunts, so it's definitely part of the awards race.

      A big hit - definitely. Critically acclaimed? If it's true, I have no idea, why. And being nominated for stunts or for example visual fx doesn't mean that it has good directing

      It got very good reviews, I think for a commercial blockbuster movie it did very well considering it was a superhero woman and also a lot of these blockbuster films , though they might make a lot of money they don't get great reviews. Maybe they also wanted to add more women to this roundtable.

      World class talented directors and all you see is who's black and who's white. Doesn't that make YOU the racist? Maybe you just can't accept the fact that no black people made any top quality films this year, other than Get Out of course.

    There's this skater chick at my college that looks exactly like Greta Gerwig, but like even hotter. She ignores all my texts though, probably doesn't think I'm cool.

    Greta is amazing, but all these white men looking like interrogators or something are very annoying
