SBIFF 2011 - Modern Master Award to Christopher Nolan with Special Guest Leonardo DiCaprio

[J0113]

Wow! Everything about this video was great... and Leo's speech at the end, truly deep and captive. Great work, thanks for upload!

[ExtremeBogom]

Memento is one of the greatest films ever. It's just...perfect.

[Oktigi15]

@ExtremeBogom Delete that "one of" if you talk about thrillers. :) Just Se7en, Zodiac and few others can be compared to it. :)

[ExtremeBogom]

@Oktigi15

Well that still makes it "one of" does it not?

Anyway, believe it or not I haven't seem se7en yet. I must get on to that! :)

[cheatdath]

PURE GOLD

[MrPrankmastergeneral]

Also where can i buy Nolan's lego movies?

[ParzivalGrailking]

points for mentioning Richard Donner's Superman. :D

[RogerFM95]

Nolan for President!!!!

[qwuezalothus]

@RogerFM95

Nolan for President of Warner Brothers Studio!!!!! :DD

[klmg711]

@qwuezalothus I love Nolan and Warner Bros!

[tontsa911]

Christopher Nolan is a living legend.

[Crimson11100]

He's my favourite director. I cannot fault any of his movies, great storylines and plots and always chooses the best actors. I cannot believe he hasn't won an Oscar, that award is just a load of bullshit.

[Tylerd172]

@Crimson11100 You can find fault in his female characters, saying that he is still one of my favorite film makers alive

[ThePandaOfDooom]

watch nolan and the water its funny

[regressator]

christopher nolan is the BESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTT­TTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[gardenofarcane]

unlike that twat "Cameron" this guy is mature and modest and a better film maker.

[AnonymousAnimus]

He should really develop a story from one of his childhood films :)

[TonyAKA30]

Seriously, Nolan is the best movie maker of the 21st century. I hope he finally gets his best director oscar with the Dark Knight Rises!

[raoulhery]

1 dislike?? must be Joel Schumacher because Nolan made Batman and Robin look like shit

[tharealYonas28]

Like him as a filmaker, his fans are just what ruins his reputation

[karanrajmishra]

Christopher Nolan:The director who represents our generation.

[7awaka]

Studied Psychology?...I think the obvious question should've been something like : Did you invent Psychology

[redarmyrules]

The Top 2 Directors to date

Steven Spielberg & Christopher Nolen

Steven for "Schielders List"

Nolen for "Batman Saga"

[darkknight302]

@redarmyrules what about peter jackson? he gave us lotr films.

[mniyad]

@redarmyrules

Dont forget about Peter Jackson and James Cameron.

Peter Jackson for "Lord of the rings trilogy"

James Cameron for "Titanic" and "Avatar"

[redarmyrules]

@mniyad

OH YES ! Peter Jackson as well

[Purkinje90]

@mniyad I'd say James Cameron for Titanic and Aliens.

[4shmigman]

@redarmyrules its spelled Nolan

[qwuezalothus]

Nolan is to Hollywood what Batman is to Gotham!

[miketheman321]

@qwuezalothus Yes!

[MrPrankmastergeneral]

@qwuezalothus Actually Nolan is a hero we need not a hero we deserve. So he is more like Harvey Dent.

[ryanfoley123]

I love how he shouts out Brad Anderson. Nolan's such a good guy.

[shasha123436]

nolan is much more better than cameroon.Nolan is the best of the best filmmaker today and i hope there is a man in this world who will make better films than him in upcoming days, may we have to wait for 3 or 4 years for that day to come

[tmtalumepa]

One genius mothafuka, makes real good movies

[RudySpino]

They say you can't judge people by their appearance... but I think Christopher Nolan may be an exception to that rule... look at the hair on his forehead, its in the shape of the bat symbol... <.<

[Zevan12]

INCEPTION 

[LauraWish]

haha :D I love his response (around 18:11) to Selina Kyle/Catwoman speculation

[photovideocomic]

Chris Nolan is the next big thing , all dumb people care about are actors not enough about the people behind the camera.

[neilwilson557]

Christopher Nolan and james cameron are the best

[Scaredmushrooms]

@neilwilson557 How dare you say them two name in the same sentence.. Chris Nolan is SO much better then Cameron.

[neilwilson557]

@Scaredmushrooms nolans the best but james cameron is excelent, what hes done for motion capture is awesome hes changed the way people use special effects for the better, pluss his films are always excelent

[Scaredmushrooms]

@neilwilson557 I get that, but Nolan is a traditional film maker where he tries to use as little SGI and make it seem real, but Cameron's movies you know are fake and they look SGI. I just think Nolan is a much better Director than Cameron ahah

[528491Inception]

at 20:05 did nolan say 'shit'?

[SverreSA]

Happy birthday, Christopher Nolan!

[killerkrab34]

Only one word to describe Christopher Nolan: GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ZeDBeE85]

He is the reason I left studying chiropractic to pursue a career in filmmaking... He is a hero, a legend... he is the Dark Knight

[gillri]

thats a mighty widows peak, go chris!!

[SeXYcHEEsEBurgER007]

Superman FTW.. LOL JOKE FAMILY GUY WE LOVE YOU----BLACK JESSUS!!!!

[phins28]

The master, best director in Hollywood right now.

[LittleMonsterBlonde]

@phins28

I agree!

[rumenigpires]

@phins28 after James Cameron

[Cineman513]

@phins28 well behind scorcese and speilberg. but after they retire absolutely lol

[cwomiller]

@Cineman513 and Hayao Miyazaki.

[Cineman513]

@cwomiller hayao miyazaki is my favorite director! lol but i thought this was for america directors

[the44118]

@Cineman513 so happy to read you say Miyazaki. I think he's the best director alive and when he dies that title would go to Chris Nolan...but no sooner!

[diciannove1100]

Please make a Transformer remake Mr Nolan

[TimothyMably]

Jennifer Aniston disliked this.

[viplovem]

@TimothyMably Why?

[TimothyMably]

@viplovem Nolan said he wouldn't do a comedy with her :P

[Maximillionaire666]

Thumbs up if you want to see "Space Wars"

[qwuezalothus]

Michael Bay is mighty gay. xDDDD

[alixwaldononato]

michael bay U sucked!

[scagish]

michael bay pressed the dislike button

[navylaks2]

Christopher Nolan will achieve the academy award for best director in 2012 for The Dark Knight Rises, this time they can't ignore him, and if it goes to Peter Jackson for The Hobbit part 1 i'll start a rally

[qwuezalothus]

Well Nolan, in 2012, the world's attention will be on you and B and B. Not just good luck: all the luck to you!

[qwuezalothus]

i never heard of Modern Master Award before....

[qwuezalothus]

i never heard of Modern Master Wawrd before....

[sirbradalott]

The one Dislike is from Jennifer Aniston

[qwuezalothus]

@sirbradalott

Actually, Aniston has nothing against this guy.

[sirbradalott]

@qwuezalothus Twas a joke.

[manna1974]

I have no idea why... But I'm proud of that dude.. lol

[SweetMatheson]

@normansmother1

Great idea!

[TheG1NGAN1NJA]

The 1 dislike doesn't appreciate GREAT film making!

[2505994]

wow, he really likes to DRINK WATER!

[bboybram]

not a lot of people talk about insomnia it had al pacino , but that was about it.

[buttermore11]

@bboybram Don't forget Robin Williams, he stole the show in the movie. Everyone else in that movie was horrible, including Pacino

[bboybram]

@buttermore11

Your right, Robin Wiliams did an amazing job...

[SweetMatheson]

Yesterday, I watched Memento - twice in a row.

[AnotherMasterMind]

Christopher Nolan is Batman.

[kurono1999]

such a talented, intelligent director, only by watching his films you can tell how much love he has for his crafts.

[TheConciseStatement]

Chris Nolan doesn't make talking animal movies. But if he did, they'd be the best talking animal movies in the world.

[charmander4533]

Now all he's missing is a damn oscar

[ParzivalGrailking]

@charmander4533 Him, Ridley Scott, Peter Weir and handful of other visionaries who the academy continues to snub.

[MexicanDicer]

to me batman forever and robin never happened!

[xBellatrixLestrangex]

Wow, Leo can sure give a good speech =)

And Nolan is just a friggin God.

[mfwe22]

Shut the hell up, IN THGE FRONT!

[GregGProductions]

Chris Nolan is the best Filmmaker ever, he's a genius, his film are so fantastic and unique !!

[drstranglove79]

@GregGProductions chris nolan isnt even the best director working today goes to show you dont have to live in LA to be a hollywood director "unique"? three batman films oh whats next SUPERMAN dont get me wrong hes a great director but he seems to move toward spielberg level producing anything he can get his hands on go back to under 20 mill budget art films memento and insomnia are way better than the direction his career is going in

[GregGProductions]

@drstranglove79

That's just my opinion, Chris Nolan is for me the best Filmmaker, the reason is said that is because he's been very inspirational to me, for my own future Film projects, and his vision on films are so different then many other Filmmakers, and look what he created with Inception so original story that you have never seen before, he's not only a director, he also write his own films, and that's why he's a great filmmaker,...but its always nice to hear other people opinions, =)

[ThinkumDinkum]

The Riddler should definitely be in the 3rd batman movie. Maybe Crispin Glover as the Riddler!!

[KayWildcat]

@ThinkumDinkum well....too late!!! The official announcement was made LONG TIME AGO.... the Riddler will NOT be in the movie! Get over it!

[ThinkumDinkum]

@KayWildcat That's a bummer, I thought the Riddler would fit well in the third film.

[KayWildcat]

@ThinkumDinkum ....not really......there are much better villains that would make a much smarter, yet thrilling conclusion......have you even seen this video though? They talk about everything here. Bane is in it. Selina Kyle (aka Catwoman) is in it. Lately, there were some rumors that Hugo Strange might be in it....but no confirmation.

[ThinkumDinkum]

@KayWildcat Yeah I suppose you're right. I hope I'm still around to be able to see it, I really enjoyed the first two films. Class A shit meng. 

[MexicanDicer]

@ThinkumDinkum what do you mean by being around?

[Jort007]

20:00

[AnnaBarton10]

I love Nolan's answer to "Wouldn't you want to do a romantic comedy with Jennifer Aniston someday?"

Nolan: "Really..."

What he was thinking was: "REALLY?! You want me to do shitty romantic comedies with one of the worst acresses today, the one and only Jennifer Aniston. I'll do when I become insane!

[peteagassi]

@AnnaBarton10 He said, "Not really."

[mrvillain88]

@AnnaBarton10 agreed.

[knutsensen]

@AnnaBarton10 Thank you for stating the obvious.

[reptongeek]

@AnnaBarton10 Actually it might be a interesting idea. Don't forget Curtis Hanson the maker of L.A. Confidential made a romantic comedy (In Her Shoes)

[MexicanDicer]

man i my favorite part was from 17:00 - 18:15!

[leethomas123]

Great interview

[ZombieZifiction]

Fantastic. 

[40Pacino]

I cannot wait to see the ten year anniversary screening of Memento.

[woodsy1234567890]

@40Pacino

amen to that!
