Short Film about Movies by Errol Morris

[billthebutcher2]

Errol Morris could take a piss on a theater screen and I'd probably still watch it.

[NICC234]

Oh Hamilton Morris....what happened!?

[rosiedog1]

The first person in this is DENNIS JAKOB, one of the greatest guys in the world.

[HunterMann]

The great thing about independent films, is that you get the director's cut the first time!

If all the world's a stage(or a film), I want better lighting.

--- Life imitates film.

---- Television: That amazing appliance which, if left unplugged, stimulates conversation.

--- Movies sell popcorn, but films offer hope.

Does anyone know where you can watch the other short film by Errol Morris - "The Nominees"??? I think it opened the Academy Awards 2008...

[Billman415]

@astra2104 I've been looking for that short film/opening for years now and can't find it anywhere!

"i rather go to a mediocre movie than a good play" lol that was so funny! my theatre teacher would murder that man but i completly agree! great video

[teledyn]

I could imagine the exact same video being shot with the exact same cast and pacing only asking people about their favourite junk-food. Maybe Big Macs are a kind of poetry too?

[Jackbean]

We're all puppets. Just some puppets are bigger than others (ref julialandau in 2008).

Wavy Gravy saying that Hearts and Minds (released in 1974) stopped the Vietnam War is so wacky when US involvement in Vietnam stopped in 1973. I don't get it.

[luvjoi0817]

Ha! I've been looking for this! I knew Youtube wouldn't let me down. The funny thing is-- I still have it, along w/ the complete coverage of the 2002 AA on VHS. I know, I'm old school.

i love errol morris

What I rteally liked about the movie is that it stitches the individual messages of everyone together to create a feeling, a kind of aura about the topic of movies. The comment that remains with me is the man saying that movies are a kind of poetry. I don't know if all movies are poetic, but Errol Morris has certainly mastered poetry in this genre. I've just viewed his film, 'Fast, Cheap and Out of Control'; the pacing is practically in iambic pentameter.

There's something about the way Christy Turlington says "Julie Christie" that is just so delicious.

[zalkman22]

Errol Morris is little more than an egotistical Jew. His "interviews" are more an experiment in mind control than anything else. If you think these comments are spontaneous, unscripted, genuine, and authentic, you've been duped. Morris sneakily "coaches" these participants like the worst kind of puppet master. As a result, it's impossible to take anything that comes from him with any degree of seriousness.....

[julialandau]

and who may i ask, are you to cast such stones? I doubt Morris would claim that he is a fly on the wall. His interview with Robert McNamara unveiled an important voice in history that had never been filmed before! Is McNamara a puppet too? Of course he coaches people for good comments! Have you ever interviewed someone for a film?

[FussbettSanitario]

I like the way Errol Morris mind-controlled these people into saying movie titles.

[PaulMiazga]

Why include Laura Bush?

[Oldguard900]

Because she's not George!! Although she did marry him.... Hmmm... I have to think about this!

Anyway, I loved this piece.... Anyone who didn't needs to join the Tin Man and search for a heart... :-)

[HunterMann]

Why Laura Bush? Casting for contrast rather than fashion. It threw me off for a moment to, but reminded me that she is also human, and if cinema can move her, then there is hope...

[erimayne]

al sharpton is the most annoying black man...what a hypocrite, his everything wrong with black people.

[HHHILLARY]

This and the Nominees are brilliant

[WhiteSox24]

[xchibimarux]

Do you have the 2007 version of this one?

[actablecause]

Julie Ahlbergs face looks like a dried up french whore's

[BindarDundat]

Totally love this piece. Morris is a genius.
