  • UN DÍA COMO HOY 25 DE SEPTIEMBRE NACIÓ

    1951: Pedro Almodóvar, cineasta español.

    (Pedro Almodóvar Caballero (nacido en Calzada de Calatrava, Ciudad Real, 24 de septiembre de 1949) es un director de cine, guionista y productor español, el que mayor resonancia ha logrado fuera de España, habiendo recibido los principales galardones cinematográficos internacionales, incluyendo dos premios Óscar, en diversas categorías.

  • I wish this had subtitles.

  • You are lying propaganda to clean up its image in Spain this man supports terrorist communist Fidel Castro in Cuba as the dictator of Venezuela are raising money in the USA for the Communist cause in Europe DANGER Russian Communists are agents Spain Red propaganda murderers of families.

  • @xiuka666 Spanglish xDDDDDD

  • @EzeDynamo Don't be ignorant you fucking douche. It only makes logical sense right after you assume I was ignorant, with you reply, your other comment is says Americans are ignorant, which makes total sense that you are calling me an ignorant American. Go back south of the border you idiot. Latinos are good for coffee and porn. And quit using Youtube, that shit is American. Puto.

  • @DarkFuryPunisher

    your mother is only good for coffee and porn

  • @EzeDynamo Who the fuck says I'm American?! I'm not even from the U.S. you retard. You are the ignorant one pendejo...

  • I don't speak Spanish.... but I love his movies with subtitles!

  • Sabbeeeeee!

  • че за хуйло ??? это самый отстойный режиссер в мире!!!!

  • Vaya mierda de subtitulación al español, todo faltas de ortografía, palabras inventadas, flipo ._.

  • ummm english subs?

  • Would you ever let someone re edit some of your movies and upload them to Youtube (a new artistic expression) ?

  • odio a los estuoidos que dicen "los americanos" refiriendose a los de u.s.npara que sepan idiotas america es todo el continente asii que un peruano un argentino un mexicano, etc tambien son americanos, y los mexicanos estamos arriba del ecuador cerca del tropico asi que tambien somos norteamericanos, bola de idiotas e incultos

  • Bravo, Almodovar! Que bueno traer un poco mas de cultura a youtube.

  • Greatttt the subtitles are in spanish, too. Ha ha. Great language - but not one I know well. Oh well...

  • This guy is such a faggot. He probably wishes he could direct gay porn. :D

  • george lucas

  • Gracias Pedro por sus palabras tan significas, profundas en sus obsrevacioens y las vibras en general del entusiasmo! La vida es un imitacion de cine, ya. HM, un cineasta en EU y Mexico p.d. Muchisimas gracias por sus grandes obras cinematograficas!!

  • Lighten up Xiroi87, it just "thounds funny to me ith all" I'm latino tambien, so chill mano

  • @alexshelli I'm not "latino". I'm not "mano". I'm a woman from Spain and it sucks to see someone who doesn't have the grasp of some very basic Spanish spelling rules is writing subtitles for youtube. Subtitles which are inaccurate in the transcription as well.

    What about that lisping in your post? Is that a joke? That's NOT how we speak in Spain, we make a clear difference between th (as in think) and s. We use BOTH sounds. And we don't speak Spanglish.

  • Message for youtube and the person who wrote the subtitles (obviously not a Spaniard, as in Spanish we don't use the s sound for z so we would NEVER make such a mistake):

    At 3:54 he doesn't say: una de las imagines que entre-rozan en su ya muchísimas cosas

    But: una de las imágenes que... en terror se han hecho ya muchísimas cosas

    The Spanish word is imagen, not imagin. Spanish verbs don't take hyphens, language & nationalities don't take capitals. That's in English or Spanglish, not Spanish

  • @Xiroi87 Well stated and you are 100% correct! Spanish is my second language and I always wondered: Why are film titles only given a capital letter on the first word? example "Solo con tu pareja" That film was the first big movie for director Alfonso Cuaron

    (I worked on the film in 1990)

  • @HunterMann Why? Because that's how it is & what is considered correct. Why do titles in English take capitals in all words when it's simply a sentence and nouns don't take capitals in English? (My Best Friend's Wedding) Because that's what is considered correct in English.

    In German all nouns take capitals in any text, not in English, not in Spanish. Different languages, different usages, different spelling rules. Mixing them up is wrong, The root of Spanglish is not really knowing Spanish

  • @Xiroi87 There are different approaches to grammar with each language and naturally titles of films will be written differently. It took me a while to get used to dropping the capital letters when writing the word "mexicano", "argentino", etc. I agree about the root of Spanlish. I hear more&more of it in Mexico and in US cities near the Mexican border. I can't stand it! The first phrase I heard in Spanglish was in 1990: "Si, entonces por que why didn't you tell me, man?"

  • @HunterMann Oh there's a lot worse than half a sentence in Spanish and half in English. Using carpeta in Spanish (which means folder) meaning carpet, is a typical example that comes to mind. Or for example the way JLo speaks: she uses English sentence structures with Spanish words, she uses the prepositions you'd use in English not in Spanish etc. A disgrace, but with perfect pronounciation, that's a completely different thing.

  • @Xiroi87 Yes, I hear that often. Words like parkamiento for estacionmiento, watchar for mirar o cuidar... Yes, JLo really sounds bad, and there are several shows on MTV Latino that are intentionally in Spanglish. Add to that their audience writes email with texting abbreviations and you can see the language is suffering. K bue-no? No! In the the advertising industry they now say marketing instead of mercado tecnia. Spanish is not unique to this, ask people from Paris about franglaise...

  • @HunterMann Well, in Spain we also say marketing but the extension of English terms used in other languages, especially in professional jargon, has nothing to do with Spanglish in America. The situation in Europe has nothing to do with that abuse of the Spanish language made by those who claim to speak Spanish. It's kind of puzzling how they insist on sticking to Spanish at the same time they abuse it every five seconds.

  • @Xiroi87 p.d. Estuve en el equipo de filmacion de la programa Norther Exposure 1989 & 1990. Bien unico, por que en el mundo de las filmnaciones telivisores no es comun que todo el equipo y todo los actores les encantan la programana. Con Nothern Exposure, este era la verdad...nos encantan!

  • @HunterMann Nothern Exposure(estuve pensando en la traduccion al castillano)

  • @HunterMann Doctor en Alaska (quite stupid name if you ask me but Northern Exposure would have sound a bit odd in Spanish).

    It was a wonderful show, unique in my opinion. It's great to hear it was also special for the crew. It probably added to the special magic of the show. Lucky you!

  • @Xiroi87 I agree that the names of TV shows and movies often get poorly translated or renamed in Spanish. The first feature film I worked on in Mexico was "Solo con tu pareja". The English language name was "Love In The Time Of Hysteria"... what?! Northern Exposure was a wonderful experience in general. I find that people who know the show's title loved it too. The first test screenings of it had a laugh track(canned laughter). It did not do well, so they showed it un-altered...it was a hit!

  • @xodn981 Spanish.

    not mexican idiot

  • @GBowiexx CHINGAS A TU PUTA MADRE, APUESTO QUE NI ENTIENDES INCHE GRINGO PENDEJO

  • @Baalcheoox3 callate maraco la teni chica chuchetumare te voi a irte a castrarte, anda contando la vida de tu pico jo puta mexicano negro culiao.

    ojala que te maten en tu pais mierda.

  • @GBowiexx what?

  • @Baalcheoox3 no te creas el grindo maraco re culia azteca re maraco

  • @GBowiexx mas bien... lokita

  • @xodn981 mexican? you are big idiot is spanish (spain)

  • @xodn981 Hey genius. This is Pedro Almodovar, a world famous

    movie director. His movie, "Volver," was popular in the US a few years ago. He won the Academy Awards and Golden Globe Awards a few years ago. He isn't from Mexico. He is from Spain. See his movies. You will LOVE THEM!

  • @SModikoane Thnaks for saying that. Far too many gringos think that anyone who speaks Spanish is from Mexico, even worse, some people still think that Mexicans speak Mexican. Viva la maravilla del cine almodovaristico!!!

  • @xodn981 haha how come u racists always make a statement that really shows how uneducated u are? Spanish people don't come from mexico and there is no such thing as a Mexican language hehe

  • Hey good lookin I like Cher/Raquel too

    how about working with the fabulous Cher?

  • I HATE FAT STUPID IGNORANT AMERICANS! sorry i cant help it and THANK THE LORD for not living in america <3<3<3<3

  • @TrippleCheeseClub Yes, I agree. I'm a gringo but only born here because my great-grandparents migrated here from western Europe. I live in Mexico off & on and am always so embaressed to be associated with the majority of gringos who are vacationing there. In my opinion, the USA sends its worst ambassadors to Mexico(the gringo turistas... guacala!!!)

  • @HunterMann so a gringo is a person that is light-skinned then? I thought they meant white foreigners by that word but if u say u're a gringo as well despite the fact that ure mexican then that must mean that gringo simply means light-skinned???

  • @mjohanss1975 Gringo = people from the US who go to Mexico as tourists, not travelers. A cruise to Cabo San Lucas to go ashore and sip margaritas served by English-speaking waiters is not really traveling. Light-skinned is guero. There are many gueros that are Mexicans. I am a US citizen by birth. I try hard to not be a gringo in Mexico, like boycotting English while I'm there. This greatly reduces my contact with those other gringos since they don't care to learn any Spanish.

  • @HunterMann but isn't a european backpacking through mexico a gringo as well? cuz those guys are DEF traveling and not merely touristing hehe

    if americans behave anything in mexico the way they do in movies, i can totally understand mexicans not liking them very much

  • buenísimo!

  • Vote this horseshit down, if you think we need to secure our boarders.

  • Hace 3 años uno de los más bellos videos de youtube era Miguel Bosé en "Tacones Altos" (High Heels) cantando "Un año de amor" como un travesti en un local nocturno. Pero el video fue retirado por intervención de la compañia de Almodovar.

    .

    Ninguno de los videos citados por él aquí llega a un décimo de la belleza de ese video; lo piense Almodovar!

    No puedo ni escuchar más esa canción por Luz Casal (o Mina) porque añoro demasiado el recuerdo de esa fabulosa interpretación de M. Bosé...

  • Wow, a real directer/artist on Youtube, impressive. 

  • @DarkFuryPunisher

    Why do you go out of your way to display your ignorance?

    You are already on the fucking computer.

    Just type his name into a browser,

    and all your questions will be answered.

    Loser.

    And another thing I'm sure you will relish - he's gaaaaaaaaay!

  • @DarkFuryPunisher. He's a Spanish director. He's made many beautiful movies that I would highly recommend if you're looking for a little culture. Cheers.

  • Aw man i clicked this cause i thought it was the Dos Equis guy

  • @Desman12fu LOL, same here...

  • Q CARAJO ES ESTO!!! A NADIE LE IMPORTA UNA MIERDA!!!

    WHAT THE FUCK!!! NOBODY GIVES A SHIT!!!

  • Welcome to Obama's America, YouTube has already degenerated into a non-english speaking shit-hole.

  • @TheMissmouthy1. Yeah, we don't take kindly to their kind around here. Why watch a foreigner who likely has access to health care when we could be watch a video of a NASCAR race with a big crash with big booms and flashy lights and........ oh I got distracted thinking about flashing lights. What was I saying? Oh yeah, PALIN 2012!!!!

  • @TheMissmouthy1 That makes no sense whatsoever. Obama is still better than that moron stooge that came before him.

  • @wildhippy

    Bush did what he had to, no other piss ant European country had the balls to take on Al Qaeda and Saddam. Rationed health care, open boarder, wall street give aways, and an underfunded and underutilized military, yeah he's a real winner. No thanks, I'm not a fan of a Socialist snake oil salesman.

  • @TheMissmouthy1 YouTube is also an International website translated into more than 24 langues... And btw, Im sure youre using the WorldWide Youtube version meaning, that Youtube is not english only.

  • @helloadios12

    America made the internet possible, and I doubt Caesar "Commie" Chavez was for the free-flowing of information.

  • @TheMissmouthy1 Ok, I agree with you that America made the Internet but I'm sure the people involved in making it were not all english speaking people nor born in the U.S. There are many imigrants here in the U.S. who did not speak english when they arrived here and have been very successful thanks to this country. But what bothers me is that people become so ignorant when they can't understand a language that is not english.

  • @helloadios12 wow, I didnt know that there were that many languages offered on youtube.

    Now people can say "youtube sucks" in 24 different langiages :)

  • @TheMissmouthy1 This sounds like sour grapes because you're too stupid to understand anything other than the single language you learned as a child.

  • All this guy needs is to learn how to say: "I've got candy in my van" in English and he'll be set.

  • hahah he looks like a homeless Jay Leno.

  • hat he is saying ????

  • Damn, I am just happy to see new Almodovar-I don't care what it is. He kicks ass when it comes to making really cool movies.

  • I'm surpised by the mean, ugly comments.  I liked his list.

  • @damian363 Agreed!

    

  • Comment removed

  • @2:30 wow

  • How about that Luc Goddard film about the Rolling Stones's hit song, Sympathy for the Devil? I own it but it still goes over my head, sometimes things are too artsy for their own good, dare I say?

  • Hombre grácias por tus sugerencias en cuanto a trailers se refiere. Muy interesantes las observaciones que ya me siento obligado a verlas. I have an entire collection of the movies and actors that you have made.

  • Me gusta Espana

  • @RichardJordanVideos tu era HORRIBLE! LA PAIS DE TUS ES HORRIBLE!

  • What a whore

  • Almodovar was arrested in cuba once because he was in a gay disco and the cuban police had no idea who he was,that is why he is always talking shit about cuban revolution hahahahha sounds crazy but is true!

  • I am hosting a MW2 1600 msp tenth lobby, view my video for proof, and read the description

  • @TheBrians09

    Yet still no one gives a shit. How sad. 

  • Hispanic guy is Hispanic.

  • There's this wonderful new invention called a comb, you might want to into one of them.

  • @TheMissmouthy1 Nah.....

  • viva Pedro! :-)

  • Learn English, Commie.

  • estas mas guapo??? joder que viejo pillin

  • this guy is HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • El de la vecina friki de valencia es BRUTAL.

    "Ha dicho puta, puta, puta..."

  • I love that you picked Jaques Brel!!!

  • Pedro Almodovar is da shit! I wish I could work with him one day. Incredible director.

  • You are looking at the true Moorish inheritance! LOL

  • @SCOTCHIRISHOFTHECSA Everyone has ancestry from somewhere, nobody is born in a vacuum, quit harking on about irrelevant things.

  • @GaeilgeSpraoi

    Shut up you liberal pussy!

  • @SCOTCHIRISHOFTHECSA Ithe mo chac baisteach aigheadh an mhuc

  • @GaeilgeSpraoi dude why dont you just stfu and stop making mean commets

  • @blizzardxd1 I'm not making mean comments mister man above is barking on about Spaniards of Moorish ancestry like who the fuck cares?

  • @GaeilgeSpraoi

    Yeah listen to Blizzard you fucking troll!

  • @GaeilgeSpraoi SCOTCHIRISHOFTHECSA = retarded & resentful

    white-hating nonwhite "Latin" American multi-account troll clumsily pretending

    to be a "redneck" from the US. Not a few of these retarded trolls resent Spain

    with a passion so they go around trying to take advantage of the "anonymity" of

    the internet to try to pretend they are from places they are not. They are

    usually so clumsy, though, that they are easily found out and exposed.

  • @CazadorDeZopencos what the fuck are you telling about??

  • @CazadorDeZopencos Or in short, he's one of the many many retards on YouTube. nothing fails to surprise me in this site anymore lol Me encanta España :P

  • el mejor director español...

    

  • it was called Almodovars picks...not Ahangimba2009 or anybody esles picks, so there!!!

  • @Ziad31 Because he's fucking Spanish, you twit.

  • @Ziad31 because he is Spanish?

  • @g33g33H GO DIE ASSHOE

  • jaujajajaj

  • btw, that closed caption doesn't work with me, so maybe I'm the dummy.

  • Why is this video becoming so popular within the last few hours?

  • @badhumus - because its featured on the front YouTube page. I love Pedro (he's so grey here!) and was a fan of his work way back when..(thank you for Antonio Bandaras!) so its nice to see him featured ..anywhere!

  • @badhumus Why? Because it's featured on the main page, at least for those not logged in.

  • I would love to see a link to each video as it is referenced. That is easy to do with the annotations, if the person who posted this video is willing to put in the time. It certainly would make this video more useful, and perhaps more popular.

  • PEOPLE, you can change the language of the subtitles! just roll over CC (without clicking) and then click on the translate caption option, you will find and infinity of languages.

    And about his choices, if someone asked you about your fav videos you are free to choose whatever you want.. from the evil look baby, to the millions of variations of beyonce's single ladys... its your taste, its you and if you like Almodovar you already knew what kind of choices he would have, its so silly to critic

  • why put spanish subtitles while he already speaks spanish?? everybody has to know spanish in this world?

  • @kerasaki13 You can change it on the Closed Caption. CC

  • @gmendoza20 I tried..Spanish was the only option.. :/

  • se goste ou não de pedro almodovar,foi,é um realizador/produtor genial,que meteu a peninsula iberica e a cultura latina no mapa anglo-saxonico que domina as artes,ou pensa que domina,HASTA

  • This is shit.Give a English title to the video and than publish it in Spanish with Spanish SUBTITLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES.Lazy ass mother fucker.

  • @zippo807 hahaha i agree 100 fuckin percent!!

  • @mrpoop122 The problem is i am from Turkey.I know German and a little bit English.I like Pedro Almodóvar very much.And those guys post a video in Spanish with Spanish subtitles.Can you belive it.I dont know exactly but i think there are more than 1 billion Spanish speaking people in the world but no body give a shit to write subtitles in a language that you can understand ? Even i a little piece of shit , a donkey rider write English subtitles to my videos.

  • @zippo807 Man, change the closed caption.

  • @zippo807 you should be able to change the subtitles by clicking on the cc button below the video. I changed them to English.

  • @tavo808 Well friend.If you fallow my mesages you will see that i learned already in a hard way.But thank you for your tip.

  • @tavo808 I wondered if subtitles follow the language he's speaking, odd

  • @MetallicBill the subtitles actually do follow what he is saying, including all the eeehs and ummms he uttered throughout the video.

  • @freetibet84 Well, I am UnoLingual so I've no idea what he just said! haha. He's a good film maker though

  • @zippo807 Well if your from turkey, we're kina like neighbors. I'm from georgia, right above turkey but I'm currently living in the US. True on everything you said and that's sweet! Your a donkey rider, pretty cool. Do you go like falcon hunting or something?

  • @mrpoop122 Heh heh.No my friend.I live in the big city istanbul with other 15 million people.We have no falcons here , actualy no donkeys.But the Europeans call us donkey rider.And i am proud of it.I am a chemist.Falcon hunting is on your side of my country.On the Black see region.Specialy in Artvin city that is border to you.Artvin , Georgia and the caucas is a heaven on earth.I plan to visit Artvin and Georgia.I will not die before i see those regions.

  • @zippo807 Ohhhh haha okay! Being a chemist is cool too! I agree with Georgia and the Caucasus being like a heaves on earth. Georgia has very beautiful places to visit. I lived there until i was 8 years old and im currently just 14. I visited georgia last summer and it brought good memories.I'd like to visit artvin someday too. I bet its a very beautiful place!
