  • He looks like Freddy Mercury

  • Dude whistles while he talks alot

    

  • Jesus Gilbert Cruz fucking sucks

  • Darren Aronofsky, love child of David Arquette and Christian Bale.

  • They forget "The Fountain" from Darren Aronofsky, for me the best.

  • Comment removed

  • This dude sucks big mighty penis, as do his movies.

  • @mikedrummonds by all means, post your movies here on youtube that will blow his out of the water. or, more realistically, simply go back and stare at your michael bay "films" in the semi-vegetative state you most likely exist. films that make you think aren't for everybody...

  • @isaachaze1 LMAO! Thats how you picture me??? as a avid fan of king hack Michael Bay? Shows which one of us lives apart from reality, because I don't like the shitty arthouse films of a shitty arthouse director, it means I like the shitty films of a shitty hollywood director, right on son. I think they both suck. Only difference: anyone with half a brain recognizes that Bay is shit. But ten trillion people mistaking Darren's shit as "Brilliant masterworks" That makes me both think and cry.

  • @mikedrummonds yea, that's what my guess was about you. i don't see darren's "shit" as "brilliant masterworks," but they are very well made and the editing is originally done. The stories usually speak "the truth". whatever it is you DO like, i can assure you, there are people out there that think it's shit, and the're probably right, at least in some way. and yea, i guess we can both agree that bay is shit at least.

  • @isaachaze1 And just for the record, I don't need to make entire movies to demonstrate that Arronofsky sucks, he does that just fine with his own movies, the fuckin pretentious, derivative, sadist. P.S. Black Swan was all a dream. Just saved you years of thinking.

  • Darren looks like David arquette....a bit

  • How could they not mention "The Fountain" when they were talking about his past work? That in my opinion is his masterpiece.

  • Definitely getting a Christian Bale vibe..

  • Amazing Director. Rubbish Interview 

  • No questions for that sweet 70's porn stache'?

  • gilbert cruz is my nigga!

  • gilbert cruz is my nigga!

  • Darren Aronofsky is what you get mixing Christiian Bale with Leigh Whanell.

  • He's so yummy

  • I'm in this video. I'm Caleb Garcia!....also no way in hell is Aronofsky "far better" than the Coen brothers....I'll just leave it at that.

  • Aronofsky is a far better filmmaker than the coen brothers. Yet they seem to get all the praise.

  • Gilbert Cruz is like Project Runway's Mondo, but with an abusive boyfriend who stole his ability to emote.

  • Heard this guy is planning to direct the new robocop, if he fucks it up, i will hate his guts ¬¬

  • @mrozzdude

    Every director has at least one screw-up, if you were a true fan you should appreciate his successes rather than exploit his failures.

  • @TheArchaebacteria No a true fan will sit back and notice he doesn't follow plots he "Holly woods" them, i hate that.

  • personally i still love Requiem For a Dream the best... just amazing every single time. all the style in it, brilliantly executed. i like the fountain as well (all of them really!) black swan oddly is my least..?

  • he is a genius , he makes u an actor with his movies u r in it living it ur inside the screen , watch Requiem for a Dream

  • legend 

  • Why did he not mention The Fountain?...

  • a genius.

  • He looks like a fucking policeman in the 90's.

  • gilbert cruz... the least charismatic interviewer and least interesting person ever

  • @tommy1tit i agree, they got questions from viewers and fans, and got some loser to relay these questions. what a shit interviewer.

  • In every movie Aronofsky creates inspires me more and more to achieve the status that he has accuired in his extravagant craftsmentship of the mind

  • He reminds me of a portly Christian Bale with a hint of chill pill.

  • pi fucking rails hard. I love that movie to death!

  • Filmmaking: you're doing it right Darren.

  • I LOVE DARREN ARONOFSKY!!!!! Requiem For A Dream and Black Swan were AMAZING (although I think I preferred Requiem For A Dream, probably because I read the book) and Pi was... just confusing. But he is my FAVORITE DIRECTOR EVER!!!!!!

  • When Nolan leaves the Batman series: Aronofsky needs to get the nod.

  • such movies as...

    DUDE, EVERYONE SHAFTS THE BEST ONE...THE FOUNTAIN! DDUUHHH!

  • @lovetownsend Thing about the Fountain is, it's one of those movies you got to watch several times and people want to get it the first time and have a spoon feed story line, so The Fountain isn't going to be popular as it should be.

  • How does this guy look so much like the dead pixel?

  • I would say that after obsessing over entertainment my whole life, I can rest comfortably knowing that I share a simmilar approach to film making as Darren Aronofsky.

  • Darren knows how to make art house films get into the mainstream, inspires me.

  • @countchunkula

    Yes, exactly! I've seen Kurosawa, Fellini, Tarkovsky, Kubrick, Bergman approach films with a paintbrush as it is an art.

    I've seen Nolan, Hitchcock, Tarantino, and Godard make films more with an entertaining style. Aronofsky always somehow brilliantly mixes the two.

  • As a fan of films there's a lot of great directors I love...Martin Scorsese (The Departed), Terrence Malick (The Tree of Life), Christopher Nolan (Memento), Paul Thomas Anderson (Magnolia) , Gaspar Noé (Enter The Void), David Lynch (Inland Empire), Richard Kelly (Donnie Darko), Gus Van Sant (Milk)........But Darren Aronofsky is outstandig! ...Darren man, you go along with Mr.Kubrick!

  • There's a difference between a director and a filmmaker. Darren Aronofsky is a true filmmaker.

  • @coolestprsnonutubevr I sort of halfway agree but I don't think that's a reflection on Darren but more the fan base Reqiuem generated, which doesn't really matter because a Director is free to do what he likes and has no control over who watches or how they interpret his art. BUT I think Black Swan deserves a lot of praise for being a film with a thesis that is true about any art not just ballet, though I do think Ballet was the perfect medium to tell the story and I really enjoy ballet.

  • @rayshuttlesworth I sort of halfway agree but I don't think that's a reflection on Darren but more the fan base Reqiuem generated, which doesn't really matter because a Director is free to do what he likes and has no control over who watches or how they interpret his art. BUT I think Black Swan deserves a lot of praise for being a film with a thesis that is true about any art not just ballet, though I do think Ballet was the perfect medium to tell the story and I really enjoy ballet.

  • there's always at least one part in his movies where i feel uncomfortable, stressed and constantly on the edge.

  • The definition of a "filmmaker", right there.

    And yes, he does indeed resemble Christian Bale's lost long brother here.

  • I personally thought that Black Swan was his worst film, which is still saying something! He is going to become one of the major film makers of our time.

  • @Hoppus217

    why do you think they are "shallow crap". They are all amazing.

  • @rayshuttlesworth

    I guess you could call it "weird", but that does not make it bad. The way it was shot, the lighting, the music, and the excellent acting really got me to feel for the characters. It feels so much more real too, life doesn't always have a happy ending. The message the movie was going for has not been done in many other movies either. The movie was unique. It really got to me.

  • Comment removed

  • reminds me of christian bale

  • i wonder what goes on in this guy's head

  • i wonder what goes on in this guy's head

  • People who say this is really intense obviously have never seen Requiem for a Dream. I loved Black Swan, but it is not as good as Requiem.

  • 'Fun' LOL, I'm convinced Aronofsky is a nutcase, I doubt more than one person said that to him. Especially considering what I've heard.

  • Why wasn't The Fountain mentioned?!

  • @ilovesummerxx i know right i love the Fountain!

  • Great Director.

  • European filmakers like Kurosawa? WTF with Darren

  • amazing director, but the shittest movie. Soooo overrated.

  • @placebo4yo finally someone said it out loud.

  • The 4th question is very interesting. Aronofsky is masterful at creating pictures that are charged with shots full of emotions and rawness. His movies are so deep and troubling that you just feel bad witnessing what is happening on the screen.

  • Aronofsky is quite an interesting director. I'm working with him using the Mindtage.

  • I would love to see him, David Fincher, and Christopher Nolan put their heads together for a film. Since they all got snubbed last year, it would be really exciting to see them band together and blow us all away. They could all write, maybe Arronofsky could direct while the other two produce or whatever. I just think that would be really awesome to see considering what they are all known for (Fight Club, Memento, Black Swan) it would be really interesting to see what they can come up with

  • @40Pacino Epicness. thats what they would come up with. :D Nolan and Fincher are two of my all-time favorited directors. I've yet to see any of Aronofski's films (aside from The Wrestler, which was very good).

  • @fly8oy51 The only thing by aronofsky that I have seen is Black Swan, which I really liked. Combine that, with Nolan's Memento and Fincher's Se7en, and I think you can get yourself a good psychological drama or thriller

  • @40Pacino I agree. I recently watched Requiem For A Dream (Aronofosky) and i highly recommend that you see it, but its pretty extreme.

  • @40Pacino 3 of my favorite directors right there, aronofsky's best is Requiem for a dream

  • Can't wait to see what he does with Wolverine

  • @lexcage do u know if he doing off the marvel chracter or is that just the title of one of his movie

  • @bridge1216 He's directing the sequel to the movie X-Men Origins Wolverine, it's called The Wolverine.

  • @lexcage He might make it very brutal like his previous films. He makes his films too strong for others to watch besides other directors.

  • I can't fucking wait until black swan comes out on dvd

  • what about the fountain that movie was so sad!

  • he should have won best director for black swan!

  • My favorite director currently working in Hollywood

  • Aronofsky is one of the bests directors in histor of movies... He's also a damn bastard lucky guy for be married with Rachel Weisz... LOL

  • @DKFechadoresDeJogos: They broke up last year and Rachel is currently dating Daniel Craig... LOL

  • @Kikkoman03 No kidding ?! LOL

  • of course he says kubrick. kubrick is the greatest! and right now, aronofsky is the man

  • This man is a genius. With every movie he makes, he outdoes himself, I swear.

  • WTF? Director of Wrestler, Requiem, Pi and Swan? What about Fountain? how can you not mention his best movie so far?

  • "It took many years to earn the ballet world's respect." (paraphrase.)

    Do they not know who Darren Aronofsky *is*? For shame.

  • "Requiem for a dream" is my #1

    Legendary directing!

  • Inspiration to me.

  • This guy.... I am so frustrated with him. He messes with my head. Literally every movie I've watched by him so far has reached me on a scary psychological level. No other movies but his have reached my subconscious in such a gripping manner. I'm jealous of him for his film making skills. I am jealous of his artistic ability. I am angry that he is able to affect me as much as he has. I am angry I'm even taking the time to write this.

    I have so much to learn from him. I have a long way to go.

  • @AcidFetishFilms would you like to suck his cock?

  • @josephmonana12 Are you 12?

  • @AcidFetishFilms ¨No other movies but his have reached my subconscious in such a gripping manner¨

    You obviously haven´t seen any of the the Films of: David Lynch, Ingmar Bergman, Luis Bunuel, Tarkovski, Fellini, Kubrick,etc.

    Arranofsky is alright I guess.

  • @DonRMB don't be a hipster

  • @SalvadorBrumov I'm a Hipster because I like.... Good movies?... Eh ok Kid.. Go back to watching Transformers 2.. 

  • @DonRMB

    I like good movies and I will never see Transformers 2 because I'm sure it will suck. I recently saw Solaris and it was wonderful. Barry Lyndon is one of my favorite movies. Twin Peaks is a beloved show of mine. You're acting like a hipster because you name dropped directors with the implication of pride in knowing them, poo-poo'd Aronofsky, and did so in response to someone who genuinely loves the man's movies. If you aren't a hipster, fine, but you are a douche and vain.'kid'-1 you-0

  • @SalvadorBrumov "Arguing in the Internet is like the Special Olympics. Even if you Win... You're still retarded" Have a Nice Day..

  • @DonRMB qq

  • my hero :)

    along with p.t.a.^^

  • I don't get why everyone is so hyped about The Wrestler and The Fountain but forget his biggest masterpiece "Pi". "Pi" is the best Aronofsky did so far (at least to me), I have no idea why the film is so underated (or why no one speaks about it).

  • @joaocorreiamedia What about Requiem?

  • Aronofsky - BIG TALENT! love your moveis!

  • HE'S AN AMAZING DIRECTOR! I'M EXCITED ABOUT WRESTLER & BLACK SWAN. And what's interesting that he showed woman's pain,feeling's ,what is quite hard for a man,right? He shouldn't stop doing his thing, cause he's awesome on his way!

  • I can't wait to see what this guy does with Wolverine.

  • @tlinscott1

    what is he going to do with wolverine!?"

  • @schlampentusse132 IMDB has him attached to 'The Wolverine' , Pre-production in 2012. I have heard other rumors, mentions too. He has already worked with Jackman so makes sense. He would make it a visceral, violent R-rated Wolverine movie I would think.

  • if the social network wins best director it will be funny. it's a good movie. but it was pretty much a bunch of shots of actors saying lines edited together to music. i guess there were also some good shots of kids running across campus and jumping into pools. on the other hand, the camera work in black swan was just unbelievable. maybe i don't get it...

  • am i the only one who finds him sexy?

  • @EliraSTAR1 no he's extremely sexy

  • @NewtonKari hahahha! yes!

  • @EliraSTAR1 no, I was thinking that since the first time I saw a pic of him. It's the eyes. So dark..

  • @NightinGal89 lol yeah, me too!

  • The Black Swan was a mediocre film.

    deal w/ it

  • @atomicaleb really i mean really? you come to a Darren Aronofsky Q&A about Black Swan video, and you come and say that??

    why even bother?

  • @atomicaleb that trolling was mediocre

  • @IronMindedGods So was "The Black Swan".

  • @atomicaleb you mean "Black Swan"

  • @IronMindedGods You mean "You mean 'Black Swan'."

  • @atomicaleb you mean, stds?

  • Great Q&A...such a brilliant director =)

  • why don't they never talk about THE FOUNTAIN?! =___=

  • @KellyDiana28 Because it didn't do well at the box office or critically. It's like Darren's "Eyes Wide Shut".

  • @Vmaster456 Don't you mean Stanley Kubrick directed "Eyes Wide Shut"?

  • @KellyDiana28 The Fountain is a rather complex movie that even aspiring filmmakers like me are having a hard time to understand it, even though the visuals are good.

  • if Aronofsky won't win oscars this year i have few words for acedemy i like nolan too but Aronofsky is so way better

  • @nocacryle I completely agree, but unfortunately it seems that The Social Network and Fincher will win the Oscars, not even Nolan is the favorite.

    I liked the social network but I think Black Swan is a much better film and I think Darren did a better job directing than Fincher

    well at least Darren is finally getting the recognition he deserves, I still can´t believe the way he was ignored aftr delivering such films as The Wrestler and Requiem for a Dream

  • Christian Bale?

  • So you love Kurosawa, huh, Darren? Did you know Satoshi Kon did, too? But at least he gave credit on *his* influences before he died. So when are you gonna admit elements of Perfect Blue were incorporated [Dare I say remade?] into Black Swan?

  • @Zerudah You sound like a generic film school nerd who doesn't realize that there's no such thing as an original idea. Directors aren't required to release their influences in list form so that you can study them.

  • @xxshady Well, yeah, except every time he's asked about his influences, he likes to omit Kon, for some reason, even though he allegedly owns the remake rights to one of Kon's movies which was used in at least Requiem.

  • @xxshady Also, if it's not original, then don't have Portman saying it's an "original" screenplay.

  • Pretty sure that wasn't ten questions

  • superb filmaking

  • Whats not fun about Requiem? :D

  • any movie this guy makes deserves to get at least an oscar nomination

  • @atwater2021

    Your blind fanboyism is a bit much. Everything he has made to date has been excellent but that does not mean everything he ever makes in his life will be "oscar nomination" quality and I use the words "oscar nomination" loosely due to how many bad movies make it into that political game.

  • first you losers

  • @mrtvman How's that relevant?
