Hi guys it's Debbie and today I would like to answer all of your questions. Let's
start from the comments you left here on my youtube channel. The first question is
by Gunnery SGT Hartman which asks: "Will you review Stanley Kubrick films?
And I just have to say that our personalities are very similar so I
enjoy watching your videos." Thank you! I don't think I actually ever spoke about
Stanley Kubrick on this channel, which is very embarrassing. But I would definitely
like to speak about him, in particular about "Eyes Wide Shut", "A Clockwork Orange"
and maybe "Full Metal Jacket". The next question is by Mike S. which asks: "What
are some of your favourite comedies? I like Accepted, Stepbrothers and Superbad."
I am very picky when it comes to comedies, I don't like those kind of
films like "Snatched" or "Rough Night" in which you have to laugh about the word
vagina at least 20 times. But I still like some very silly films like "Mean
Girls", which is the ultimate guilty pleasure. Then I like some of Jack Black's
films such as "Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny", "School of Rock". Then I like
English comedies such as "Hot Fuzz", "The World's End". Then other films like "Coming
to America" and some of Jim Carrey's works like "A series of unfortunate
events" and The Grinch". Sam 98 asks: "What's your favoUrite animated movie and
why?" My favourite animated movie is probably "Wall-E". It is the story of a
little trash compactor, a little robot, which is left abandoned on future planet
Earth which is completely polluted, littered, while humans have fled on a
spaceship. I think "Wall-E" is a film both for children and adults: it has cute
funny scenes but at the same time it covers much deeper themes such as
our responsibility as humans, our planet's environment, love... And
all of this is conveyed with very little dialogue until the final part of the
film, but we still understand everything and it definitely leaves something
personal to everybody that watches it. Spartansareawesome11 asks: "Have you
ever been to the west coast of the United States (Los Angeles, San Francisco,
Portland, Seattle etc). Also what are you going to school for? Are you going to try
to be involved in the process of making films in the future?" I haven't visited
the West Coast, although I will be here for a very long time so I'll definitely
explore more, and I would also like to visit the south so like Mississippi,
Louisiana. And at the moment I am not studying anything in particular ,I did
take courses about the United States so for example I studied the history and
culture of Boston and I will take another course about New York City, but
in the past my main studies for years have been foreign languages. As a movie
fan there is always that desire of wanting to be part of the creative process ,to be
part of the world of cinema but at the moment I don't have any plans.
Spartansareawesome11 also asked: "Do you watch/like anime? And if so have
you seen the movie "Your name" (Kimi no na wa) from 2016? I haven't seen "Your
name" but as a child I used to watch many anime. Anime are immensly popular in
Italy, and growing up in the 90s and early 2000s 99% of what I watched were
anime. I used to watch "Hamtaro", "Dr. Slump", "Doraemon", "Sailor Moon", Rossanna (which
I believe has the original name of "Kodocha"), "Mila e Shiro" (which is known as
"Attacker you!") and "Kiss me Licia" (and the original title I believe is "Ai Shite
Knight"), along with a classic "Pokemon" and "Digimon". I also saw a few episodes of
"Dragon Ball" as a child and then I watch more of them with Simone because he is a
huge fan of the series. I've always been nostalgic of that
afternoon moment of watching cartoons after school, and every time
that I go to any convention in which there are cosplayers from this world,
there's merchandise, I always get that little feeling of warm
happiness in my belly, so I should definitely get back into it. Sam Gijsels
asks: "Are there films you haven't watched but
really want to watch? If yes which ones?" I want to catch up with some of the older
films, the big classics which I haven't seen. For example I've never seen "The
Godfather" trilogy, I've only seen bits of it. Then there are some horror films
which I'd like to see, such as "The Cabin in the Woods", "The Witch" and the two "Blair
Witch Project" films, and also "The Nightmare Before Christmas" which again I
only saw bit of. Then I would like to watch some Miyazaki films such as
"Spirited away" and "My Neighbor Totoro". Christopher Yew Xuan (and I
apologize if I mispronounce anybody's name) asks: "Hi Debbie I have a few
questions for you. 1) Do you think the Oscars
completely neglect horror films and "Get Out" only won because of its racial issue?
2) What's your favourite horror film and favourite horror director? 3) Do you
have a favorite Asian film? Really enjoying your work Debbie, love from
Singapore." Thank you! Horror films have been included at the Oscars, for example
"The silence of the lambs", but they've always been huge films, if you see what I
mean. The fact that they were horror films was a nearly a secondary aspect to
them, if I making any sense. Because in recent years
except for "Sweeney Todd" I don't think we've hardly ever seen horror films at
any film awards in general. Regarding "Get Out", I don't think it's a terrible movie
but it's nowhere even close to being the best room of the year, or even the best
horror film ever, as some people have been describing it. I think the
screenplay was interesting, because towards the end of the film there is
a big twist, but at the same time I think people have taken the modern racial
issue which is presented in the film and they have automatically translated it to
best film ever. Instead my favourite horror films are "It
follows", "Don't breathe", the first "Insidious" film, the Hannibal the Cannibal
trilogy ("The silence of the lambs", "Red Dragon" and "Hanniba"). While for best horror
director I'm not as informed, but maybe James Wan for creating "The Conjuring",
"Insidious", the "Saw" saga. Unfortunately I haven't seen many Asian films, I've seen
some Indian films, I like "Dangal", but I would like to get into more Japanese and
Korean films, for example I saw "The Handmaiden". Victor T asks: "Have you
watched any films from the ancient times? By ancient times I mean released in
1930- 1959." I have seen a lot of the Disney animated films from that time
frame, such as "Dumbo", "Pinocchio", "Fantasia", "Cinderella", "Sleeping Beauty", then I
saw Hitchcock's "Rear Window" which is from the 50s, and I'm pretty sure I saw
"Bridge on the river Kwai" in England, but I can't remember anything about it.
Saikripa Inn asks: "Hi your videos are awesome" Thank you! "It is a question about
your favourite movies. Which is your favourite war movie, favourite espionage
movie and favourite mafia movie? and also do you like found footage movies? If yes,
which is your favourite?" My favoUrite war movies are "Schindler's List", "Zero Dark
Thirty" and "Dunkirk". My favourite espionage movie is "Inception" and my favourite mafia
movie is "The Departed". I haven't seen many found-footage movies, at the moment
I can't even really think of one. I was saying that I wanted to see "The Blair
Witch Project" which I from what I gather is based on found footage. Deepak Koshle
writes: "Donnie Darko, Interstellar, Inception, Shutter Island, Nocturnal
Animals, Prisoners, Arrival, Insomnia, Enemy, Unbroken. What according to you are
features in these movies that create an indescribable feeling and make them so
amazing, what are the movies that create the same
situations for you and are you expecting anything similar this
year? And I'll be pleased if you will suggest more movies like all of these".
Well Deepak.. you couldn't have made a better list! Many of you will recognise
some of my big favourites here. I've often thought about this and I have discussed
this with other people, we've tried to find out what exactly is it that
ties all these films together, what makes them so great to watch. And I I think
it's a combination of different factors: on the one hand we have some very dark
themes, but presented in a realistic, human way. For example in "Interstellar" we
cry about a love we can relate to, even if it's set in a spaceship in
another galaxy, decades from now. With these films we feel touched, afraid
because we see characters dealing with issues which give us paranoia, anxiety,
fear. These films don't give us the simple answer, they don't just take a
side, present a story, they don't say "these are the heroes, these are
good people, those are the bad ones, take the good people's side". For example
in "Prisoners" we have to make our own opinion on the film,
we have to make our an opinion on what the characters are doing. Then there's
another recurring feature in most of these films here which is just how big
the themes are, these films offer us food for thought which stays for years. Take a
look at "Inception": it opens a whole new world for us, "Donnie Darko" makes us think
about much more than what just meets the eye. Then we have incredible
cinematography, so even the visual aspect drags us right into the plot, we
usually have an incredible soundtrack to follow everything and then a very
carefully picked a cast on which everything is based. If you like these
films, one I would absolutely recommend watching is "Se7en" with Morgan Freeman
and Brad Pitt. Then I would also recommend watching "The Devil's Advocate",
the "Matrix" trilogy, "The Crow", "Blade Runner 2049" and then series like
"The OA", "Dark", maybe some episodes of "Black Mirror". Ajay Xavier asks: "Hi Debbie
just want to know your thoughts about Jake Gyllenhaal and still patiently
waiting for you explanation video on "Enemy". I deeply apologise, this film is the most
complicated film I've ever seen, that's why there hasn't been the video out yet.
In general about Jake Gyllenhaal he is one
my favourite actors, he was in many of the films on the list we were just speaking
about earlier and, for example in "Prisoners", I always think
that he manages to convey a lot even with a limited use of dialogue, he uses
all a series of facial expressions. And I also like him in
another film which many don't speak about often which is "End of watch". Vishal
Cain asks: "What's your favourite book? Or if you can't pick a favourite just list
some of the best ones you've read and would recommend. I've also got a couple of
other questions..." Okay so you have other questions, so let's do favourite book.
My favourite book is "Retribution" by Jilliane Hoffman. "Retribution" is the
story of a lawyer which at a younger age was brutally raped, she barely
managed to survive. Years later she's moved on with her life, she's working on
a completely different case, but the past begins to haunt her again. Then I also
like"1984", the "Harry Potter" books in. particular the last one so "Harry Potter
the Deathly Hallows". Then Vishal Cain also asks: "What are some of the worst
movies you've seen? What's the most disturbing you've ever seen?
What's the weirdest film you ever seen?" So some of the worst movies are the
"Fifty Shades" trilogy, "Snatched", "Rough Night, "Scary Movie 5", "London has fallen",
"Independence Day: Resurgence". And "The Fate of the Furious". And then the most
disturbing, well I was definitely upset by "The Exorcism of Emily Rose", but it's
not exactly disturbing, it was just my personal fear of it. I guess maybe the
second "Human Centipede" film is not exactly a light trip. Then weirdest film...
I don't know.. Maybe "Enemy", "Mr. Nobody", "A cure for wellness".
Even "Phantom thread" was pretty odd, not not the weirdest, but odd. And then "Do
you know any good Italian music? I love to listen to music in different
languages." I am the worst person to ask this to because I listen to very little
Italian music. I know a lot of the names of the big-...... A lot of names of artists
and bands and I know songs, but I don't have enough knowledge to be
able to recommend any to you. And then Vishal Cain, thank you so much for the
kind words that you wrote at the end of the comment, they're really appreciated.
Then Evan Acree asks: "What kind of movies, books or TV
shows does your boyfriend like? And furthermore do two have similar, in the
middle of completely different tastes in certain arts?" Considering films, we do have
similar taste, for example one of our mutual favourite films is "The Dark Knight", we
both love "The Crow" and when going to the cinema we have often had very similar
opinions on the film we saw. This being said we still have our own personal
taste and there are films on which we have completely disagreed. Concerning art
in general, we both come from a very similar background. So for example for
music back in the early 2000s, when our interest for music, our interest for art
in general was developing, although we didn't know each other at the time we
were both into that heavy-metal/rock scene, but at the same time we were
always open to anything, to any genre, to anything that we found interesting. We
were not the teenagers which would be totally focused on one thing,
refusing to even listen to anything else or watch anything different. And this
over the course of the years developed into embracing all different types of
art. Simone does have a much more refined taste when it comes to
music and he has a much deeper knowledge about it, this is because he is a
singer-songwriter, it's one of his biggest passions. So he has introduced me
to bands or which are completely off the charts bands, or artists I didn't know
about. Just a quick interruption to the video, I
was editing this footage and I realised I didn't actually answer the question, so
regarding books Simone who reads a lot of biographies, whereas I for example
prefer fiction. And concerning TV shows he watches a lot of
documentaries, just like the biographies and his
favourite series is "Shameless". Adith K Suresh asks: "What are your thoughts on
book to film adaptations? Do you prefer books over movies?" I'm very flexible on
this, I think it goes from case to case. For example I love "Trainspotting" based
on Irvine Welsh's novel of the same name, "Slumdog Millionaire" from "Q&A" by Vikas
Swarup, "Fight Club". But as with adaptation, there is logically always
something cut out. For example the" Harry Potter" universe is very very deep, the
the amount of information to convey is staggering. So although I love the "Harry
Potter" films, when you see them after having read the movie, there is a lot you
have to fill out with your own mind, with the knowledge you have. Michael Savvides
asked: "Are you upset that Christopher Nolan didn't win the Oscar? Do you think he
will win an Oscar anytime soon? I am said he didn't win, I think many of us were
expecting him to at least bring home Best Director this year. But at the same
time I know he will win it soon or later, after all Roger Deakins waited 30 years
and 14 nominations. And after all we must remember it's just a name on a list,
it's just an award, a statue Nolan's work is recognised by fans all
over the world by...
JUST GIVE HIM THE OSCAR!
Shift asks: "Debbie my question is have you watched these South Korean movies: "Memories of a
murder", "I saw the devil" and "The Handmaiden"? If yes then give your
opinion on these movies please. Also what camera do you use to record the videos? Love and
peace from India." Out of these I've only seen "The Handmaiden" and I really enjoyed
it, under some aspects it reminds me of Wes
Anderson's filming techniques and I love watching
films in their original language. And I film on a Sony rx100 which has seen
better times, after the falling in different places, including an ancient
temple in Sicily. Then we have two questions in Italian:
Then another question in
Italian:
Realproblemshuckers asks: "Can you watch the film Mulholland Drive?
Or if you have what do you think of it?" I have seen "Mulholland Drive" and I
have been thinking about it ever since, it's one of those films which leaves
something you'll never be able to really shake off, and it's a very important film
for the history of cinema. And it completely took me aback, I was not
expecting what I saw. I made a complete explanation video about "Mulholland
Drive" and I'll leave it here in the description. Then some people have asked
me for reviews, but unfortunately on films I haven't seen. For example Tejas
Wavhal asked me about "Source code", Shivansh Maheshwari asked me for "Barfi"
and then Varun Vikas asked me for "Dogville" and "Inside Llewyn Davis".
Unfortunately I haven't seen any of these films, so I for now I can't say
anything about them. Then we have a question on Facebook: "Donny
Niculaj asked: "Since you have such a love for cinema have you ever thought
about being an actress or anything to do with movies like a screenwriter? also
like many actors with British accents in American roles can you talk without your
British accent like Christian Bale? if you can it would be interesting to see
you do a whole video with a regular American accent". as a film fan you always
have that desire of wanting to be part of the film industry, but for now I don't
have any plans for the future. Concerning the American accent I am
terrible at it, I've tried to do it, I don't understand how Bale, Tom Hardy,
Gary Oldman, Helena Bonham Carter, Kate Winslet can just switch like that. I
can say some words like lettuce, awesome,
commercial, sidewalk.. aaah so bad, I'm so bad at it.
Then on Twitter Gowtham asks: "Who is your favourite
director what is your least liked film made by him/her?" My favourite director is
Christopher Nolan and this is tough because it's like picking the worst out
of the best. And I haven't seen "Following", so I can only speak about all
the other films. So the worst out of the best is in for my personal taste is
"Memento". It's a film which is fundamental for the history of cinema, it's a bit
like Nolan's "Mulholland Drive" which we were speaking about. But I still prefer some
of his more engaging, dynamic, bigger themes like "Inception" or the "Dark Knight"
trilogy. Then on Instagram Opedrosantos asked: "What you do when you're so
many years without a Nolan movie?" I know the feeling, you come out of the cinema
after seeing a Nolan film, feeling all elated and and then you're
suddenly crushed by the realisation that it will be another couple of years before
his next film. And in the meanwhile it's complete silence, no information, complete
secrecy. I tried to think that whatever he'll make next will be awesome. Probably
he's already talking to Michael Caine or Hans Zimmer to get them into his next
film. And then Nolanism asked: "What do you think is Christopher Nolan's
greatest work in terms of writing/storytelling and in terms of directing?
Could be two different movies" I think that in term of writing it would
probably be "Inception", it is written by him and it just introduces us to a
totally new world, a new way of imagining things, a new way of
making films, it's groundbreaking. in terms of directing instead I'll go for
"The Dark Knight", I think that this along with "Interstellar" is the film in which
we really see Nolan's role as as eye supervising everything, as the director
which brings everything together. And "The Dark Knight" would have never been the
same without Heath Ledger as the Joker, Christian Bale as Batman,
Gary Oldman as lieutenant Gordon, Hans Zimmer's soundtrack. It was a
teamwork effort and Nolan was at his best as director, so person that makes
everything work together. And then there is a private message on Instagram:
"Why hasn't Christopher Nolan won an Oscar award?" I think this is a
combination of Academy loved films and bad luck. Because his films have
won a lot of awards, just never as best film or best director. I think the
closest it ever went was with "Inception", maybe even "Dark Knight" but I'm not sure.
But every time they have always been are the big Academy loved films, it's a bit
like having a "La La Land" or "The Shape of Water" every time. In 2011 it was "The
King's Speech", in 2009 it was "Slumdog Millionaire", in 2015 it was "Birdman", "The
Theory of Everything", "Grand Budapest Hotel" and "Whiplash" all together! Thank you
all so much for your questions and your kind words about my channelI. hope you
enjoyed this video, if you'd like to see more move-related content make sure to
