Donut by Gary Oldman

[kamilka8945]

aha no kurwa nic nie rozumiem ale spoko

[DaDa2Phlux]

Shadow,form,light -all in harmony.Gary is transforming an otherwise static subject,the circle -which, is not really static... into energy while maintaining it within the frame He maintains the circle in the composition allowing the viewer to observe a static element , "in flux " i.e. it's concentric rings emanating outward .It's miracles of sight like this that take place everyday ,all around us. An Arriflex is not required ...Gary proved that beautifully.

[karyboberry]

@DaDa2Phlux hahahaha, sure.

[bowdowntoanette]

It's like Hypno-Toad..... I can't stop looking.

[CindyLouYou]

A mellow Koyaniskasi. Sometimes in life, you just have to float. ;)

[LilVoice]

I really like the part with the pool xD

[LilVoice]

Yes man, now he earned an oskar ;)

...brilliant man...

[darksidecomm]

This films for mother Russia

[Nialara1]

This can be used by the CIA to brainwash people. It's so amazing *drool*, it's like the cousin of the dancing plastic bag from American Beauty.

[SiriusBlackfanatic12]

gary...gary.....GARY OLDMAN MADE THIS VIDEO! *puts it on favlist* GARY OLDMAN!

[Luwinkle]

They should give him a Emmy or an Oscar for this..it's already better than 90% of the shit they DO give them to.

[theraviolicat]

A fine piece of cinema.

[bbta999]

O - oldman! ja... a donut? ja...

[ChaosDarkie]

Man, deeper meaning or not, I could watch this video over and over again. Really relaxing.

[dieneshugi]

My eyes the same colour as the water here...

[153cassie]

OMG I UNDERSTAND LIFE NAO

[qwertyporst]

This guy has been in more movies than any actor could hope for. He's up there with Anthony Hopkins, Dustin Hoffman, and Christian Bale as far as versatility... And as far as film-making, well... have you seen this^^?

[garycooper002]

Riveting viewing

[claustrea]

Una película no necesariamente debe narrar algo; a veces basta con que transmita una sensación. Este cortito lo hace.

[HelterSkelter085]

lol that was weird.

[TherealK4B3L]

cool

[elainebateman]

Gary: Nokia gave me this phone for free but I have to film something with it.

Other: What are you going to film? You're not filming me!

Gary: I've had it a month, they keep phoning me, I have to give them something or they'll want the phone back.

Other: That sucks. Film the pool.

Gary: I can't film the pool. It's boring.

Other: They'll think you're being arty.

Gary: They'll think I'm taking the piss.

LATER THAT DAY

Other: What are you doing?

Gary: I'm filming the pool.

[Arathix]

LMAO !!!!

Man, I'm adding this to my favorites.

[Georgiadennis21493]

i believe he did this

1. to make money

2. as a parody, he knew people would try to find some deep meaning in it when in fact it is just a shadow (it is cool looking though). its a bit like modern art, some is actually meaningful and some looks like a 3 year old could do it. i believe he was picking fun at the latter.

3. but who knows, he is a genius actor though and good as a director too.

[andrazz90]

a 3 year old could have filmed this lol. or a tramp, at least he would have been given a weeks worth of food

[baduzana]

i think donut looks like an wheel. water is moving but it looks like donut is mooving :)) i love it ^^

[NintendoDogStar]

I feel suddenly hopeful. Should that be the case?

[adoncapone]

hmm, I found this to be very soothing.

[pinklilies313]

for some reason i feel gary made this as a joke so people would look at it and thing theres a deep meaning when its all just good silly fun, but maybe i'm saying that cause i don't understand it.

but it seems like the kind of thing he would do.

[skowronekpapa]

I totally agree. This movie shows simply nothing with a nice music background and that' s all.

[gangsta2526]

I dont get it... whats this supposed 2 be???

[icdiamond]

Ironic I think that he made this movie to demonstrate the superior quality of Nokia image recording and yet in You tube where most people will see it - it was all pixelated and crappy.

agree also about the hungry and peeing......

;-)

[mickfriday]

it made me hungry and need to pee all at the same time!

[jpaxsv]

Love it! Fast-forwarded through most of it, but I loved it -- just the fact that people are commenting on it cracks me up!

[mithwen]

This movie touched me both emotionally and spiritually. It worked on so many different levels and had a deeper meaning that can be understood in every viewer's heart...

... sorry, I just had to. I love Gary.

[piphiemily]

gary i love you and your work...but this was really gay.

[welldunneav]

good man gary, milk those nokia people for all they're worth!

[o2bnowhere]

its not just the bottom of a pool... its raining.. i loved it

[EdNortonisMineLol]

I love you Gary, but that was WEIRD

[sharp93]

lol the camras on the nokia's suk

[LifeisaGlitch]

Hahaha. The people at Nokia were prolly all, "Gary, make a film with our phone and we'll pay you scads of money for it."

Then Oldman was all, "Sure thing."

Then he filmed the bottom of his pool for two minutes. xD

[neobogard]

lol. yea,verry oldman like.

[cliffwind]

worship the self-explanatory title to this video so much!

[Cj2jade]

The fact that Gary Oldman simply stood by a pool for two and a half minutes and filmed this with his mobile...

Amusing me to no end.

[rileyvmiller]

solitude

[sexydracula]

weird..... but it FUCKIN ROCKED !

[charlizerester84]

If you think this video "FUCKIN ROCKED!" and were serious, then you must be the most pretentious person on earth! I mean, c'mon! PS. I love Gary Oldman, but this video did not rock!

[antigonefreimann]

This movie changed my LIFE!!! Thank you!

[lavinia1959]

hmmmmmm i wonder xx

[jencalo]

Thank you Mr.Oldman. Thank you.

[Kallypsoo]

humm.. Am I stupid or nobody understand this, just as me ?

[jen567mws]

maybe he wanted to push it,see how far he could go.

[AshLuvsJonnyStew]

This is seriously putting me to sleep...very soothing :)

[chopin65]

I prefer the donuts with frosting.

[Luv2cucheer]

True art, <3 it

thnx Mr Oldman

[Oldmanlover87]

i <3 gary oldman

[angelicmindfreak]

That was very odd....Something tells me he saw something interesting in his pool...people who are that talented tend to get inspiration from just about anything....

[atrybus]

That was ....relaxing. I wish I could loop that to sleep to. I think I like it.

[AnnaLupin]

ok, i don't get this:) what would make it really cool would be like this monster to pop up in the last two seconds. it'd scare the shit out of ppl and make it more interesting:) this donut is just....:-? how should i put it? pointless is one. oh, and he seemed to seriously lack ideas. I rly rly rly like gary oldman but, call me crazy, this time his subtlety is too much for simple old me:)

[zowie0bowie15]

lol, perhaps itz meant 2 b tranqual. thatz spelt wrong. Perhaps, as a workaholic himself he wishes we were all content... lols

[rivermvo]

i love gary oldman..

[bwziegler]

It has a surreal beauty.

[mikeyn417]

I love Gary Oldman...but that was shit. Honestly, there was no merit to that. You can try and BS that that is somehow art...but it's not. It is total shit and fucking pointless. You're an idiot if you read anything into that. I'm just sorry 23K people have been subjected to that over a Gary Oldman tag.

[zowie0bowie15]

strange isnt it? 1 name made everyone watch it. lols, read my comment above

[charlizerester84]

I don't know why you have so many negatives against you...I totally agree with you.

[ChloeDust]

I actually found this very theraputic.

[LoliBlack]

cara, isso tem ultilizada?

não importa, AMO ELE 4évis ♥

[Papillion1986]

A little strange, but it's artistic. Kind of like surrealism, you know?

I think it shows he has an artistic eye.

[grrreg76]

WTF!!! The guy just wanted to cash the big paycheck from Nokia! He's like: "D'uh... I wanna get the money but I don't want to get my ass up from this chair by my 50k $ pool. I'll just shoot some sh*t for 2 mins and put in some sweet music".

Watch "Senza Titolo"! A REAL short movie shot with a Nokia. With no sponsor. Thanks.

PS I do love Gary Oldman, but this time he really dissapointed me.

[LetterEmm]

Seriously, though, if someone told you you could make a shitload of money for doing basically nothing, wouldn't you say "Hey sure!"

I would haha. I don't blame him. It doesn't detract from his talent.

[sleepingalways]

gary oldman has the most beautiful eyes I had ever seen

[heartstoned]

Impressive. That's very Zen.

[Wavygirl063]

Proves he can even make a donut interesting. I watched it all the way through, lol

[AlexCrisis]

I really watched that till the end.. becoz it was gary oldman's sight. and the funny thing is I LOVED IT! Being a fan makes you half fool :D

[siriusizhot]

Gary Oldman is amazing!!!!

He could just be sitting in a chair for an hour and I would watch.

does anyone know where he lives, e-mail, ect.?

[nancynick225]

i so love this guy! He could film dog poo for 20 mins and id watch!

[ufofruit]

Okay...I guess I need to lick a toad to get a trip out of this....

[MissyContraband]

trippy in a way

[Xero817]

It's like a focus mark. looking at the water and the ripples around it. Like the media's view point. The media focuses on a small fraction of what's in the world and here's what the media won't show you. the truth. then again, maybe it's not the media. maybe it's our perception of the world around us and our eye we filter ourselves. Long story short. it's a big world out there, we can only see so much.

[FireAngelLore]

NNNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! I don't like this video. I was expecting to see Gary oldman, :(

:´(

[monnyclubs]

hahahahaha this is soooo funny, it's so silly...but i love it, and I love u gaz!!!! XoXo

[claudiax7]

Its beatufull. Love it.

[tmir]

what the fk was that?

[ObieFroKennobi]

hahhaha no shit :P

[cc2191]

I like it, it's very moving luv ya gary xx

[Bluehoundofwinter]

It´s beautiful, it´s like the donut is dancing with me.

[charpookins]

An art historian posting an opinion-God save us-I'm poolside, lost in thought-thoughts travel up hill and down dale-light reflected in the opposite-peaks are dark while the valley is swathed in light-the leaf blows across to give focus-memory returns, pinpointing the promise before it once again slides from rational thought-or just donuts to sit on?

[Babyndally007]

Lovely Gary darling but what was the point?

[CheeseCakeExplosion]

What was the point? Somethings are better when thought to be pointless because only when pointless do they, in fact, have a purpose.

[Babyndally007]

good point!

[CheeseCakeExplosion]

Thank you.

[SnapeEyes]

I can't decide whether it made me hungry, thirsty or want to go for a wee!!! Gary's been asked to film the sequal ..."donut 2: the HOLE story"

Love ya Gazza

[stickhrk]

HAHHA HOLE STORY!!! i love Goldman, one of the best actors alive today and the greatest freaking James Gordon Ever but....WTFreak was that about????

[Cremln]

To stickhrk:

Yeah, I know I love him too. But that was just...a waste of time, lol, and I'm pretty sure he would say the same thing.

[stickhrk]

ha ha agreed

[CallMePsyco]

I thought it was lovely. A bit too much like modern art, but still lovely.

[StupidfuckingLogin2]

Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world....

I just want to use my Nokia...

Hehe.. what a load of pretensious shite....

Gary your a solid actor by anyone's standards but get your name off this corporate endorsing nonsense...

[lucidfrog]

Gary, I loved it. Thought it was very peaceful and somehow.. touching. Reminded me of some sad, lonely moments I had by a pool as a little girl. Felt myself swriling with the water.. the sounds were great.

[3lsy]

I guess it was mostly to show how good this Nokia Nseries are. For it to get more puplicity.

[dyano4ka]

u're kiddin' me! the whole movie is about a donut........hm.....and I was expecting somethin' more various and interesting...but....anyway...­.the ambience is kool, though!

[jabawookynipplpinchy]

uhm. gary oldman is a genius. but that was pretty useless. almost as useless as fantastic four: rise of the silver surfer.

[Despairity88]

That was.. horrible. xD What the hell was he thinking making that? I didn't even watch most of it, I just fastforwarded through it and saw it was all the same footage. xD

[hotforhouse]

you know, oddly enough, I liked this. It's weird, but if you really think about it and get all philosophical about it, it's good. the donut is supposed to be us, and as you can see the donut hits some turbulence every now and then that shakes it up, but it always regains it's stillness, and in the end it slides out of the frame. anyways the music is soothing as are the colors.

[0BatGirl0]

Or maybe you're thinking into it too much. Like Andy Warhol, critics would make all sorts of interpretations of his art but he simply painted what he felt like making.

[sinkissedsweeto]

yeah, but I think you're supposed to get what you want out of art. that, in my opinion, is the best way to enjoy it.

[patri2hendrix]

eeemmmm q co...es sto??? osea 2 minutos y 30 segundos d video para ver una simple sombra en l agua??? un grandisimo lol

[ekimserym]

Well the storyline is a bit thin and the characters kind of unlikeable but the exeution is spot on.

[nastasie]

LMAO.

Loooove Gary, but yeah...

[panhewson]

oh god

[MissusTheFly]

excellent work and film making!!! Great Job Mr. Gary Oldman!!!!!!

[90265SE14]

This would make a good screen-saver... Hey, is it a real donut, a Cheerio, an innertube or what?

[58LGOSE8]

Sweet :)

[fra81g]

mistico. Good work Mr. Oldman.

[wariatka1992]

what is that?

[GaryOldmanGirl]

geil

Kiss me GARY!!! Kiss me hard!!

[GaryOldmanGirl]

Mein Schatz (Gary)

Kiss me GARY!!! Kiss me hard!!

[herefordmsv]

hehe my oldman inspired hobnob video is better :)

[hollymarg]

Hard to believe that Stansfield from THe Professional (Leon) made this! Bad cop...no donut.

[LtdAttnSpn]

It's so great-is the the score from Eno's "Music for Films"?

[Goldmanfan]

The music was written by Gary's friend Tor Hyams

[hellopoppet06]

hahahahahahHAHAHAHAHAHAHhahaha­hahahahahhah. . . did he really make this?? that's amazing. *giggle*

[gypsypassion]

i love gary oldman and everything, but this is pretty much the EXACT same reaction i had to this. ahah.

[Flutterby1985]

I loved the storyline...

But really, its really peaceful and nice. :)

[whatuswattingat]

Simple, clear, and just full of meaning. Cool!

[Khomradeigor]

Hmmm. I liked him better in True Romance.

[SimyBoxesClever]

Now that's art for ya..

[gabysil]

Si este mismo video lo hubiera hecho yo, lo habrían considerado una cagada maestra. Gracias.

[mariah707]

no se te hubiera ocurrido hacerlo.

[gabysil]

sinceramente... no

[FLAPSproductions]

so, did you make this, or did Gary Oldman(the actor) make it??

[Goldmanfan]

Gary Oldman (the actor) made this film

[ardex1]

cool music

[MollFlanders]

Loved it, love Gary, want more!

[bighiphopfan]

Some of the comments below fail to recognize the brilliance of stillness amidst a world of chaos. Great little movie!

[HayleToTheHammer]

Well.... a donut is a donut is a donut... :D

[akospapp]

The best Nokia commercial ever. And they don't know that. Bravo Gary.

[mariah707]

totally agree

[Moony100]

I have that video on my computer. When I first watched it I was scared that it was one of those frightening videos. You know the ones where there's just a room and then a creepy blue face comes out of nowhere:S

[xxxGlennxxx]

well I got one of those too -_- and you obviously have become paranoid about it! lol! I was like that the first two weeks, I didn't dare to watch any suspicious video after that....

[LaurenStDavid]

You know, I absolutely adore Gary Oldman, but having said that, may I please have the last three minutes of my life back. I could use 'em to make a pot of coffee.

[doneitd]

can i have mine too?

[picasso79]

hahaha.... On my Nokia 6820 Im doin' better productions.....:)

[Dianagkp]

I adore Gary Oldman and I'm partial to arty films but I really fail to see 'his message' in this film.

I know, I know, it is minimalistic and 'sublime' but I'm sure he can do A LOT better than this.

Gary please, show us something a bit more substantial next time, we all know you can do it!

[nenoXtreme]

Ha ha ha. Nokia paid him to do ~3 minute action video with Nseries mobile phone, and he filmed some shadow on the bottom of the pool :o) ! He rulez!
