Salvador Dali - Mike Wallace interview 1958 - Part 1/2

[996artichoke]

His talent was beyond compare.

[996artichoke]

Ive seen his pencil sketches at tacoma art museum... He was super human maybe a alien

[laserboyproduction]

I love smoking and appreciate cigarette commercials :D That's fantastic....

[benkissinger]

Squint a little at 1:00, and you'll see Mephistopheles gazing directly into your lungs. You don't have to squint as much at Dali's face

[Yankelstein]

I think the painter suffers from delusions of graduer! The genius that I saw was that of Mike Wallace the best interviewer of his time!

[SOS763]

I constantly see people criticize Wallace - but there is virtually no TV host that interviews such fascinating characters that Wallace did. He deserves respect for that.

[Adler36]

The interviewer should show more respect for this genius I think...

[lucaslikesmarsbars]

'What is philosophical about driving in a car full of cauliflowers?' Boom!

[frepetto]

heartless "american" interviewer

[ezraZZ]

Dali's a genius, Mike's not

[TheVolcanofist]

WHY,WHY..?

[nervsykins]

Dali ftw

[nervsykins]

Dalí  Picasso

[Yamsauce]

Just looked at Mike Wallace now, think I'm going to quit smoking.

[ErkkiEno]

He's crazy and he knows it, which makes him brilliant.

[WamblyWallaby]

Where are the subtitles?!!!

[pgfrankl]

@dunnotch1 actually they still sell them..



[CJDraden]

"What is so philosophical about driving in a car filled with coli flower?" hahaha. I love Dali so much.

[Anaemnesis]

Dali was really wild and a master of illusion. He had a great great energy about him: By showing us illusion of the mind he could help us see actual, hard-nosed, truth. There is a movement dedicated simply to the truth that Dali would have related to undoubtedly. Go to Google and search The Truth Contest, then click on the first result, then The Present. If you do this, you'll never look back

[Einarr1989]

Parliament cigarettes give you over 30,000 traps!? Someone needs to tell 4chan!

[symonsolar]

Note Cosmogony and Logorithmic curve. I enjoy hearing Dali speak. rolling tongue beautiful language

[symonsolar]

This is a great video! Mike Wallace havin a smoke interviewing Dali. Both Cool Cats. In this video I observed Dali's cane to be an especially fantastic object. Having the need for one now and finally having having my tools from storage I would make a cane similar. I will listen to some music now and describe 4 cane designs that I work on as an art sudy and as usable item.

[pilaman82]

if bill o reilly intewrviewed Dali it would sound pretty much like this

[condreye]

Picasso million times better artist than fascist schlockmeister Dali.

[TheLordHodne]

@condreye

Agreed. Fascinatid to listen to Dali though, he's such a stereotype of what an artist is/should be. In my opinion.

[StreetdanceNLK]

zee cawleeflaver

[jradetzky]

for heavens sake, it is da-LI (emphasis on second syllable), not DA-li (emphasis on first syllable)

[jradetzky]

oh my! this interviewer is such an idiot

[jradetzky]

funny how the interviewer keeps on saying DAH-lee

[hms7373]

Dali 1000 times more artist than picasso

[hms7373]

wallace is completely clueless here

[mrdramirez09]

He does those things BECAUSE he is an artist!

[fffraaankkk]

mmmm Parliament

[StefanoCBlanca]

Mike Wallace is a fucking ignorant idiot.

[Idolmaker40]

@StefanoCBlanca I so agree with you. Mike Wallace comes a narrow minded ass hole. Such a cretin.

[javimahai]

A mental midget trying to interview pure genius. Hilariousness ensues... 

[ClaudiaAmber]

I don't see the interviewer as being rude, I see him as a man of his time encountering something so abstract and obscene. DALI is of another world of his time.

[skittenize]

PARLIMENT!!!!!



[anaemia]

SMOKE!

[stinabeib]

Ask a surrealist questions, get surreal answers!

[ewucha]

Thank you so much for posting! Dali Dali Dali!!!

[brujola]

Buenaso, Salvador Dalí es un genio y al igual como el lo dice, lo más importante de su obra es su personalidad, la cosmogonía Dalí.

[trinitaterion]

La personalidad es el defecto mas grande de un artista (y de cualquier ser humano), y sin embargo muchos se hicieron millonarios casi que basicamente gracias a esta sin tener mucho talento (andy warhol, basquiat, casi cualquier artista pop contemporaneo).

En el caso de Dali, que si era un genio, mas bien fue un estorbo que lo hizo perder (y ganar) adeptos.

[chinard]

LMAO!!

turn on the audio translate feature and watch what it thinks dali is saying!

[selfselfself]

Jump to 2:00 to skip past a lot of shit regarding fucking cigarettes!

[killanimalsforfun247]

@selfselfself Hey it's good to smoke. Edward Bernays said so (circa this interview being recorded).

[dunnotck1]

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC:

Parliament was later removed from the market due to the severe damage it caused to this interviewer's brain.

[popartman]

omg, Dali's level was too high to be interviewed by this guy. It's not serious. He just say "why? what? I'm not sure..." There's not a conversation about art here. It's more like an unpleasant interrogation. What an intelligent man was Dali!

[Di3Lord]

He in his time, made a brand....Dali, Dali, Dali.... He talks about Dalian way.

He tells he fears death, but death of Dali is impossible....

At first I thought he's crazy, he doesn't care about the world... Then again how crazy are we, we adore him as an artist, we encourage him to be himself, to be the Dali, and we took care of him, for ages, even after his death....

I'd say Dali is incredible, he believed in what he did and convinced the world. For me that's the artist...

[dedbusted]

Let a man smoke for God's sake.

[timwise1960]

Mike Wallace endlessly sings the praises of cigarettes and then has the balls to ask Salvador Dali, "Why do you behave the way you do?" LMFAO

[ABdadaSURD]

Parliaments. It's a trap!

[Maximillion666]

Thanks Mike i just quit smoking and your not helping lol.

[edisonoside]

he means natural death..believes in natural death ..the only way 1 should go...

[edisonoside]

penetrate in the bottom of the sub conscious submarine sea symbolize?

[edisonoside]

Cosmology of Salvador DALI!

[edisonoside]

conceived from dreams

[edisonoside]

Nicotine plus Tar added for what?

[chazybrewster]

The artist is a polymorphic polymath! Dali embodies this,

[StevieDisopolis]

this video totally makes me want to smoke a parliament :P

[Raymazo]

i met dali on the street, he knocked me off my feet ;)

[mikey7shambles]

''SMOKE!!''

[theyiyulfas]

Dalí speaks exactly how the spanish people talk, and its hard to him to undertand LOL

[TheHehe1]

Salvador Dali was a genius!!

[lgmccarville]

Poor Mike Wallace was way over his head trying to discuss art with Dali. They should have got a poet to interview Dali. Mike Wallace can't shift into the right brain thinking, it's sad he gets rude at times because he is feeling stupid I think.

[Ladonna1205]

This was 1958, I hope we have evolved...... Hopefully people in today will find Dali refreshing....

[Ladonna1205]

This was 1958, I hope we have evolved......

[timpedersen]

also, the recessed filter is great to scoop coke out of a baggie

[thiagogbp]

Nononononono. Why? Why?

[MsJK21]

@thiagogbp NA na na na NA na na na na na na na na na! Why not?

[The423894]

Why is it that artistic genius is always paired with colossal stupidity when it comes to interviewers?

[MsJK21]

@The423894 Because.

[Gennarotool]

Dali you are the best!

[ttetpos]

The interviewer is ignorant. He's got "the voice", but no content, and therefore is unable to understand what Dali is sharing.

[TheJordyPouw]

when smoking was cool lol

[jimf42]

The interviewer always was rude...

[rasmussen418]

Real Madrid - 1

Surreal Madrid - Fish

[BlackBronson]

@H0TandL0W I like Mike Wallace, but this interview is evident that in his younger days... he could be a prick!

[neftalydotcom]

And this weeks episode, brought to you by... SMOKING!

[LionProductionsTV]

ppaint my soul watches 

[kscartmajor]

Oddly enough, Philip Morris sponsored a textbook in my schools library... I am noticing a pattern here.

[malaprosiaczka]

I LOVE ARTISTS - THEIR INSANITY MAKES ME NORMAL

[Otisxsnotbset]

Mike wallace is an ass. He has no respect and he's in the media. Loser.........

[zone53046]

Sarebbe bello che ai video venisse messa la traduzione a seconda della lingua di appartenenza...

Come mai non è stata ancora inserita questa funzione...

Sarebbe un bel passo avanti...

[cmmdrsquid]

I've never wanted a cigarette more.

[countofmonetcristo80]

lol. What in the world just happened? Dragon speak, double speak, backward speak and all types of speak but nothing coherent in the least! lol!

[Gurkenkruemmung]

Of course Parliament cigarettes should always be lighted with the "torch of freedom".

Just as suggested by Edward Bernays in the 1920s :-)

[aristurtle1]

Rather than accept that fact that he doesn't understand and keep and open mind, the interviewer clearly chose to be a condescending asshole. Its funny how guys like Larry King and this guy are trained to use "sophisticated language" but at the same time have nothing going on in their own heads.

[philbee56]

@aristurtle1 Yeah, absolutely!.....I've seen this technique, most recently with Bowie US chats circa 75-77, culminating with a comment "Well if you didn't understand that, neither did I so don't worry!" Distgusting. No wonder DB is afraid of americans.....

[limmenh]

Parliament Parliament Parliament Parliament Parliament Parliament Parliament Parliament Parliament Parliament Parliament Parliament Parliament Parliament

[Ataensic]

Poor Wallace was way out of his league here.

[H0TandL0W]

Is it just me or does the interviewer sound rather rude?

[nillychoirpop]

@H0TandL0W hes just from the fifties

[TrentH190]

@H0TandL0W he's mike wallace, he always came across as a condescending asshole

[malaprosiaczka]

@H0TandL0W STUPIDITY MAKES HIM RUDE - HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT DALI TALKS ABOUT, - HE ASKS WRONG QUESTIONS - DALI DOES NOT GIVE A F... BECAUSE HE I S ABOVE HIM

[MadJackManiac]

@H0TandL0W The interviewer sounds like Oscar Wilde, but has none of the charm, intelligence or decency of the great man. You're right, he is rude - but perhaps that's the key to getting a good interview out of someone. You have to be direct and critical to get the interviewer into a state where they want to challenge your offensive stance and prove you wrong. However, I would quite happily argue that this interviewer is simply a twat.

[jonnyspa27]

@H0TandL0W Well its Mike Wallace, he's kind of known for this. If it were Edward R Morrow it would be much better.

[skyymx]

@H0TandL0W i dont think so actually it seems like he's making him explain himself which is fine cuz dali does.. i learned a lot about dali through his questions

[cyrus2go]

@H0TandL0W

Its his job to instigate someone who is intellectually higher than him ;) You may see the same kind of behavior from primates who come across something they can't understand and then try to poke it with a stick.

[dedbusted]

@H0TandL0W No, he's just a man...and sometimes that's the way men talk to each other. Today's men are too politically correct to have an honest discussion.

[TheSassydem]

@H0TandL0W I agree, and an idiot also!

[sacrificialtotem]

thank you for this

[sacrificialtotem]

@sacrificialtotem whats philosophical about driving a car full of Cauliflower

[owlandthemirror]

@sacrificialtotem Cauliflower corresponds to dalis philosophical fascination with the golden, or divine ratio in the way that they grow. Look it up, its pretty interesting.

[sacrificialtotem]

@owlandthemirror  oh i know i just liked the question .
