to be fair, it's mostly the director who's in focus because most of the questions are directed at the philosophical side of the movie. Most of the acting-related questions were about Joaquin and Scarlett since they're the main characters and Scarlett wasn't there to answer the questions directed at her.

My fav.

@Richard Collier I mean...I also said they were intelligent.

@Richard Collier What?😂

Who can blame him when the questions asked by the interviewer and the audience are completely idiotic and don't make any sense

+fatalradius Sorry for busting in a year or two later, but I would imagine professional actors and actresses were more emotionally and socially secure, thus had more than average empathy and thus were more secure expressing intimate ideas or thoughts. This interview was kinda weird for me, since it was only the director, and partially Amy and Olivia, that seemed to want to talk about the film. Maybe they've answered these things millions of times before, but I understand this was a conference held shortly after the premiere or similar, so I somewhat doubt that. So unless they were worn out and just wanted to get out of there, I don't see why they wanted to react that way (even to the ill-prepared questions). Many famous actors seem to love to talk about themselves and their characters, as much as they can get away with sometimes. Kind of like the director here. But maybe you're right. Maybe it just is a personality type thing. It's just odd to me how a guy like Joaquin could ever get such big parts if he is really this awkward and insecure in public.

It's not that simple; interviews&promotion are part of his job as an actor and, as a Hollywood actor he is quite overpaid; some respect to the audience is due, I would say. We all do certain tasks as part of our daily jobs that arent really appreciated but we must do them if we want some cash by the end of the month. To me its not only about shyness or a lack of speech, but a sort of bad manners.

@@Muskar2 @Marvel Yana, maybe you should watch more of his interviews. He's actually a shy and introvert person, so talking in public isn't something he's comfortable with. I happen to have the same personality with Joaquin and have the bad luck of having a job that require me to often speak in public. So I could relate. Asking him intelligent questions that force him to think would distract him from the awkwardness.

@@anade76I respectfully disagree with you. Actors don't owe their audiences a thing except for good performances, which Joaquin always delivers.

😆😆😂😂😂

Don't know why people are intimidated by Joaquin, it's pretty simple...just ask intelligent questions and he'll answer..

@@freddiemercury4evr true

He is joker in reality too 😂

val macclinchy That’s not always true, he had some pretty good questions thrown his way on the Joker press tour that he just flat out didn’t answer. I think it’s either you catch him in a good mood or a bad mood. Obviously asking good questions helps, but doesn’t guarantee an answer.

***** Same here. Thats what i like about actors like him. its that mystery.

omg i noticed that too

Knowing that they liked each other back then and are now engaged makes this extra cute.

❤

@@Missjunebugfreak and now have a baby together, River!!

they were into each other already

What did he say to her? I couldn't here properly.

Alisa 03 he said something like “rooney, don’t do that. we flew you out here to talk” ... because rooney was shy ..joaquin also said “poor kid, she’s nervous” 😂

Yeah it's scary. He's the opposite of what his movies are. He's seems shy and even i'd say adorable lol

Goes to show that genius comes in very specific forms.. Spike is methodical in his work, he slowly develops beautiful concepts in his head, mulling them over to perfection. He can't just spit masterwork, he's definitely awkward and nervous when he has to be articulate in real time..

How is this ironic

Same thing I thought!

enjoy? .mm if you like to cry all the time. good for you.

I can't do that. This may be one of my favourite movies of all time, and I don't want to risk losing the feeling I got the first time I watched the film.

TokyoKazama haha same here, I don't know if I want to watch it often enough to the point I know what's going to happen next and loose the emotional link with it.... Like an amazing song that you just hear too much and end up being just another one in your collection... I'm sure I'll watch it again... but maybe in a few years... when my life is at another point, or If I ever feel like I'm becoming so used to a rutine that I forget about any existencial stuff.

Gabriel Mendoza Couldn't agree more.

So, have any of you watched it again? I just watched it for the first time and I too don't wanna risk losing that magic of watching it with fresh eyes.. It was possibly the most beautiful film I've ever seen.. It literally changed me. Plus I don't want to feel that sadness again, at least not right now..

well not that river's gone sure

I must disagree, Ryan Schmit.

All I'm saying is I preferred river phoenix's looks, sheesh

Agree 100%--Have been in love with him forever :))

totally agree

haha, you made my day lol.

its funny how I don't know who Rooney Mara is but I know who ur talking about lol

The reason I m here is because the 6 variety of legs

yes always does....

Ofc :)

I’ve had a crush on her since I was 11 and saw her in the Nightmare on Elm Street remake😂 funny thing was that she hated that movie she almost quit acting. Thankfully she didn’t because she’s my favorite actress

yea films never portray enough nervousness and awkwardness. such human traits

😂

❤😊

+Jeanne Bastille But why isn't some of these professional insiders acting on them -turning them around, asking back or just say: " I assume what you really want to ask us is..... " and just answer them like they feel and want. I mean they are on stage - they are the leaders of this whole event up there, or not? After having watched this brilliant film, then seeing them sitting up there, everybody trying to hide like little children, this is so unprofessional. After seeing that, probably no regular person has any more stagefright. THIS performance everybody can do.

+Theresa Mueller Totally agree with you. The whole thing is so awkward that I'm left wondering if the cast and the director even truly get along...Something feels phony about their attitude toward each other, I don't know. Weird interview from beginning to end imo...

johnnie rodriguez oh yes, should have beaten 12 Years a slave

Filiming iron man and making bank.

@Richard Collier johansson, duh. She voices Samantha

Filming Captain America and Lucy

@@taofeeqtijani6364 lmao oh wait yeah at that time she was with winter soldier Filmin

he he, yes he has.

im glad that you are glad for joaquin. Who knew that he will win and oscar

@@kareeenango3 lol And I am glad that your glad that I am glad he stuck around Hollywood. He impressed me ever since Gladiator.

After i watch the Joker and Her ..joaquin phoenix is straight on my top 5 best actors list… btw can u suggest any movies that have the same feeling as Her

I'm 99% sure that it is Spike's voice

Urashrimpimapimp It is him

"Fuck you, shit-head fuck-face. Get the fuck out of my face!"

An accurate depiction of a typical interaction with a pre-pubescent child over a multiplayer game.

Voldemort It’s riddikulus

Avade banana!!

i think he doin gr..under d circumstances..terrible interview...

they aren't really putting on a show. that's why it's awkward. i for one think it's very charming

Because she is hot

+John Baker "naaah, she's fat" -Baby alien

KABLAM Olivia seemed the most cool about being there, and contributed more than the leads. Plus she 's hot ;-)

Yeah and her name is on the poster like she had some significant role

And now they're together..😊

yeah I agree

Maybe he's best at articulating his thoughts through a script and film and that's okay

and Isla Fisher

Amy Adams was in the Office for a few episodes

Tyler Morse ironically enough as Jim's girlfriend

caitlin bourke The characters even referred to her as a "hotter Pam" lol

oh yeah, she was selling purses, correct?
