Brilliant artist that was blacklisted in Hollywood for almost two decades simply for refusing to compromise his creative integrity. This was a really really brilliant man.
Dennis Hopper was a rare talent blue velvet is probably one of the most electrifyingly disturbing performances ever. what more can I say the body of work is extraordinary it's really sad that he didn't feel that way. what a genius.
I never really appreciated how fine an actor Dennis Hopper was until after he passed away. He managed to get into his roles--usually the nutjob, slimebag roles--like no one else could. He wasn't playing a guy named Frank; he WAS Frank. Same with his other roles. He became those people. Very gifted, and this interview with Rose is one of the most honest interviews I've ever seen anyone do. RIP, Mr. Hopper. You were beyond great, if that's possible.
I met him in New York during the filming of "Basquiat". He was very patient and sweet and told me I was "a sweet girl" and that I was "sharp" and that he wished he was 20 years younger. I know it was just empty flattery but I enjoyed it. Afterwards I thought about him for days. Dreamed about him. It's a little bit like looking at the sun - if you stand there staring for too long, you can be blinded.
Sophie Katt wow that’s beautiful, wow Dennis was right you’re sharp and sensitive you’ve put it in poetry and I am never forgetting this cos I love Dennis Hopper so much , all the best and thank you for sharing a such amazing moment with one of the greatest art genius they ever existed .
He has a great presence on screen. If I had wanted to choose an acting method it would have been based on the method used by Mister Hopper vis a vis the Classical Method. Wonderful Acting!
As the Atomic Ski Rep., in New Mexico and southern Colorado, I use to stop in at The Trading Post restaurant, in Taos, NM…I’d stop in…late before close…I’d sit with Dennis and the owner, til driving my demo trailer home, to Angel Fire. It took me weeks to figure out why I recognized him…Hell of guy.
@@irish66 Sorry, not even close. And Hopper's next greatest character is the Photojournalist from "Apocalypse Now" where Hopper says things like: "Hey, man, you don't talk to the Colonel. You listen to him. The man's enlarged my mind. He's a poet warrior in the classic sense. I mean sometimes he'll... uh... well, you'll say "hello" to him, right? And he'll just walk right by you. He won't even notice you. And suddenly he'll grab you, and he'll throw you in a corner, and he'll say, "Do you know that 'if' is the middle word in life? If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you, if you can trust yourself when all men doubt you"... I mean I'm... no, I can't... I'm a little man, I'm a little man, he's... he's a great man! I should have been a pair of ragged claws scuttling across floors of silent seas..."
@@irish66 Nicholson was amazing in Easy Rider, but on the screen for 25 minutes. Hopper's character -- the more vocal of the two mains -- held that movie together with his actions and dialogue. And Hopper directed the film as well.
@@squarebearderry Wow, what the hell is wrong with your life that you felt the need to attack this guy? At least he's not afraid to use his name. But I guess if all you do is troll then it's probably good you hide
@@squarebearderry He never said he considered himself that lucky or that great. That's your own insecurities screaming. Talk about egotistical. Your mom give you that word, ya basement dweller.
There's a great documentary about him by a longtime friend called Along For The Ride. Covers Easy Rider, his years in Taos, NM, filming The Last Movie, the drug exile years, the comeback...
Dennis Hoppers masterpiece I believe is Mad Dog Morgan ,of the life of a 19th century Australian criminal Daniel Morgan.Though there are several edit versions of the film,it's a powerful statement film on many levels.Chris Young
Charles Peete "Charlie" Rose, Jr. (Henderson, Carolina del Norte; 5 de enero de 1942) es un locutor y periodista de la televisión estadounidense. Desde 1991 ha sido anfitrión de Charlie Rose, un programa de entrevistas transmitido nacionalmente por la PBS desde 1993. También trabaja en This Morning de CBS, desde enero de 2012. Rose, junto con Lara Logan, ha sido anfitrión del revivido clásico de la CBS Person to Person, un programa de noticias en el que las celebridades son entrevistadas en sus hogares, mientras que Edward R. Murrow fue originalmente su anfitrión de 1953 a 1961.
Nitrous oxide, not nitric oxide which is a deadly posion. I remember in California in 1980's, 4 boys got hold of a lecture bottle of nitric oxide, thinking it was laughing gas (nitrous oxide) and decided to get high by releasing the gas while they were sitting in a closed-up car. All 4 died. Literally drowned sitting in their car, as nitric oxide forms water in your lung.
Bradley Strider Thanks Bradley for your response. Obviously, He liked being married but just couldn't go the distance. he didn't have to marry - could have just gone on as he did .. A very interesting response, thank you,
Bradley Strider Never heard that before .. made me laugh. Thanks again for responding. I will move away from this but will bookmark and revisit this great piece of honesty. Charlie Rose is wonderful.
Hopper was such a fascinating cat - he made for a great great interview. I'd rather watch 5 minutes of him talking than De Niro hemming and hawing any day. One thing, though - Hopper's summaries of the three main schools of Method Acting isn't very accurate, it betrays his Strasberg bias, which is understandable. But Meisner's and Adler's techniques were not quite what he described them to be.
Dennis Hopper has been talked about a lot over the years, and often not in the best ways, but I feel he's not given enough credit for the career and life he's had. His attitude and knowledge of the movie business alone would be enough for a book just about that. I guess he never did get that one great picture or role. Dennis, you got more than one! Just to let you know up there.
HE LIVED A FULL LIFE / THE GOOD BOOK SAYS 72 IS A FULL LIFE / SO HE GOT A BONE THRONE TO HIM FOR TWO MORE YEARS / HE WAS SICK SO HE MUST OF WANTED TO GET WELL OR GO TO MEET HIS MAKER / R.I.P. DENNIS
i love Dennis Hopper and all he has done, he was amazing!, but what does he mean when he talks about "blocking scenes in a movie? If anyone knows? priscilla s
I think what he means is that ones position in a scene and what they are doing can artistically impact a scene. Take the scene in the movie, Giant, in which James Dean's character, Jett is offerred some money for a piece of land that he just inherited by Rock Hudson's character Bick. Jett's (Dean) movements and speech in the scene make it extremely powerful moment in the movie. Without Dean's movements the scene would not have been nearly as memorable. Anyway, maybe I'm wrong and someone studying acting can tell what he means by blocking scenes. :)
@@ksk5664 Not too shabby an explanation there. I only really found out about blocking myself during my very first acting experience on stage when in my early 40s. You done good!
Dennis Hopper was an other worldly actor. Next to Frank Booth, the character 'Feck' in Rivers Edge is my favorite. You really feel for Feck, a morally divided and ambiguous character used as a vehicle for Samson 'John' Tollet insanity and inability to feel empathy or love. The scene where John and Feck were at the edge of the river and John describes in detail how the murder went down causing Feck to both relive the time of his murder and realizing there was "no hope" for John and the he (Feck) had "at least loved her"
The liberty of the 1960s dropped into parody as a culture - but Hopper somehow rose above the Hippie Nonsense. The filtered wisdom of hippie culture was too destructive. Hopper seems to have embodied its shortcomings and kept telling stories that were useful. And away from ennui and meaninglessness, all the while riding shotgun on the worst of capitalism's downside. We are lucky to have been graced by his craft.
Hoppers performance as Tom Ripley was absolutely perfect, few people know about that great Wenders film. I disagree with your opinion to Dennis’s performance in ‘Apocalypse Now’, it was performed just as it was intended to be,..fully manic & Dennis captured that honestly.
@@BushyHairedStranger well, I think Coppola didn't know what to do with Hopper, this character goes all over the place, that useless camera he carries, he improvises a nonsense 60s type monologue... I still disagree on that one. 🐊 But his Ripley is splendid, so is the movie, Wenders best film, truly overlooked.. 🕵️ BTW another great Patricia Highsmith rendering is Ripley's game, with John Malkovich as Ripley by L. Cavanni. Another masterpiece is Plein Soleil, late 60s... with Alain Delon as Ripley is among the best ever made, much better than it's american remake
I liked him most in his role as the alcoholic father in Hoosiers. I have always liked his work and I was deeply hurt when I found out he was a conservative Republican. That was the role of the worst man he ever could have played.
Hopper's scene with Christopher Walken in True Romance is one of the best scenes ever.
So many people take that scene as a history course.
Sicilian scene
@@samanthab1923 and it’s literally a racist trope from different times. But hey, history is a lot more complicated than entertainment.

@@chocodiledundee1give us all a break dude 🙄
@@hankworden3850give yourself a break. Walk to the ocean and keep going.
Loved him around 1960-ish TV Western "The Rifleman".
He was a fresh-faced kid and played an artist/farm hand. Can be found here for sure.
Was in big valley several times also and more
What an excellent interview. The ole Hopper is a straight up guy.....Gotta love this!!! RIP Dennis.
Hopper was a true Renaissance man
He has a great presence on screen. If I had wanted to choose an acting method it would have been based on the method used by Mister Hopper vis a vis the Classical Method. Wonderful Acting!
Tormented Genius
Hopper was able to have a long illustrious career. Overcame so much adversity. Most of it self-induced.
I miss you Dennis.

Hopper's greatest character is his most famous film, Billy, in Easy Rider. Brilliant movie that helped change Hollywood...but you probably knew that.
No. Frank Booth was his greatest character.,

One of the coolest of all time
Hopper owned one of the first Warhol soup cans. He paid like 75 bucks for it. His ex-wife got it in divorce. Now it's worth millions
There's a great documentary about him by a longtime friend called Along For The Ride. Covers Easy Rider, his years in Taos, NM, filming The Last Movie, the drug exile years, the comeback...
Along For the Ride. Thanks for the tip.
My Two favorite movies dennis hopper is jason and the Argonauts and Samson and delilah
LMAO! "Joey,....do you like movies about gladiators?" Agreed, some of Hopper's greatest work and use of 'method acting'.
He sounds like the nicest guy
rip lovely man....
Dennis Hopper is Donald Trump.
AMAZING INTERVIEW .....THE BEST CHARLIE ROSE HAS EVER DONE ...
What a great story teller.
His movie “The Hot Spot” I great work. He was very talented.

I'll have to check that out. I think his best performance was in Hoosiers and Blue Velvet is a close second.
‘The American Friend’-Wim Wenders 1977 is Hoppers finest film performance in my opinion..

I thought that was a little strange. I never thought of Billy (the character Dennis Hopper played in Easy Rider) as a hipster.
Millineal hipsters did not exist in 1994. Charlie was referring to the 1950's usage of hipster...study it!
Wow I had no idea that he died
great photographer as well
Was Charles Ross hit by the #Me too movement..😂😂😂😂😜😜😂
