Tom is unbelievably charismatic and I imagine his actors love working with him and for him.

Tom Hanks deserved a better interviewer. She had no idea how to challenge him or know anything about his enormous body of work.

Listening to Tom Hanks made me think that if I could choose 10 close friends, that pushed me to think more about life, Tom Hanks would be one of the 10. I see him as both a profound thinker and humble.

Can we not wait til this guy is dead to acknowledge how much joy and happiness he has brought to all of our lives along the years. Thanks Tom Hanks for all the laughs, tears and all the range of emotions you have made us feel! You sir are a national treasure! I want to thanks him from the bottom of my heart! I don’t have any social media so I can’t post it straight to his account so if someone can copy and paste to his Facebook or whatever other social media he uses I would be very grateful! Thanks again!

Watching this, I am reminded of how bloody old I am. Seems like yesterday I was watching 'Turner and Hootch', 'Big', 'Sleepless in Seattle', 'Bachelor Party etc

Tom Hanks spark his fame since I was a kid in the 80s. the man is a genius that can play comical and turn serious.

I really liked his comparison of movie theater experience v streaming experience. The art will survive, the business model will change. 😎

Tom Hanks is my favorite actor, and Forrest Gump is my favorite film. That’s the one film I can watch over and over and never get bored of

Beloved Tom is insanely talkative, like Forrest Gump starting to talk at the Bus Stop, he automatically narrates everything to you,.

Thanks for sharing this.

the film director is the viewer of the film, that the film makes it, and the actor has to follow, for the story to see or watch the film !! Great interview !! thanks

Fantastic guest. I love how he answers questions so humorful and intricately.

I had a nice time watching this Interview :)

This is the best entertainment I have seen for some time ! Real quality !and Tom Hanks is excellent !

Tom Hanks was great in Punchline (1988)

Whoever photographed and edited the thumbnail hates Tom Hanks.

Also, is his hearing fading or was it the quality of sound in the room for him to not be able to hear?

Damn he is such a great fantastic interview. He loves the audience and likes to engage with them

My interpretation of refusing to say a line even when you knew it was in the script is people can sometimes change their definition of a character as they progress through the piece, but if you know the line was in the script and you can hold space for both your developing interpretation and the interpretations that caused the lines to be written you not only have a broader interpretation of the character but a broader ability to merge interpretations with understanding, communication and expression. Even if someone was right when they thought they really knew better than the director or the writer due to how their interpretation of the piece is developing if they wanted people to agree they would have to communicate the reasoning which would be best done well before it gets in the way, not in the exact moment it would cause a problem

It's a funny thing. This aspect is true across all fields of human endeavor, including fields of employment. It can be summed up this way: Who you know can get you in the door, sometimes, but what you know decides whether you stay, and how central your role.

One of the all-time greats!

Its funny he mentions the pentagon and the three dart finish but doesn’t put the Script together

what boot/shoe brand is Hanks wearing?

So interesting to listen to. No wonder he is at the top of his profession.

The second film he references at the start is actually titled The Bad and the Beautiful actually, from 1952. But I digress, always good to hear Hanks speak

Thank you Tom Hanks! This was a wonderful insight into acting! And the movie business!

Ive always liked Tom Hanks - he is all class

Favs You've Got Mail and Polar Express. Now I just want to watch Hail Caesar again!

Didn’t streaming services restrict their movies away from screens? Greyhound as an example. A great movie but very difficult to access unless you were willing to join the Apple stream.

Love Tom talking long form. Only way you get to know an individual. That’s why I watch the Union.

Do what you need to do and be kind to the ones who can't help themselves❤❤🎉🎉

The host should have asked Tom if film makers really want to make “really good shit” and know they need to produce great content why do large studios like Disney or Lucasfilm keep making films and shows the audience largely reject and consider bad content.

How did Tom get into the business?

The main issue with going to the cinema for me, is people munching on food or slurping drinks, or checking their phone, very annoying, I don't pay good money to listen or see that crap. So I wait for the Blu-ray or streaming service to watch. I'm lucky that I have a projector which means I don't miss out on screen size, also I can pause anytime for a bathroom break.

My grandmothers boyfriend went to Oxford and a lot of time I don't understand what he is even saying......His vocab is amazing..

This is Exactly True You Might Get a Break Yet There is No Training Period You Ether Know You’re Craft or You Don’t There is Just Too Much Money involved in Movie 🎥 Making and No Matter Who You Know That Is Not Good Enough The Motion Picture and Television Industry Want You If You Are in Production and You Are Good At What You Do They Want You If You Are In Construction If You Are Good They Want You Yet You Will Be Found Out In Less Than 1/2 a Hour If You are Not Good At What Ever You Do or Claim You Do This Business Will Bounce You….!

Genius

So much like my brother!

REAL MAN 😃 LOVE HIS MOVIE

Did anyone ask him about Isaac Kappy?

7:04 "Hey, I resemble that comment!"- Sofia Coppola

I worked in camera for almost 25 yrs in the film industry, and now I can hardly watch any movie in it's entirity. Most of it is so formulaic and predictable my head drifts almost immediately. And, or I just don't care about the characters being portrayed.

THIS guy, Tom Hanks just comes across as an actor/person….a straight honest shooter AND he should have got the Oscar as Captain. Ryan….👏👏👏🍺🍺🍺

I disagree with Hanks completely when he mentions the guy who says "They don't make great movies anymore. There are no Godfathers etc." and Hanks disagrees and says that there are. No, there aren't. To me, the greatest decades for film in my life have been the 70's and the 90's. The Oscar winner for best picture during the first four years of the 70's were 'Patton', 'The French Connection', 'The Godfather' and 'The Sting'. The first four years of the 90s gave us best picture Oscar winners 'Dances with Wolves', 'The Silence of the Lambs', 'Unforgiven' and 'Schindler's List'. Do you know what the last four years of the 2020's have given us for best picture? 'Nomadland', 'Coda' (GAG...an updated version of the ABC Afterschool Special series from the 70's), 'Everything Everywhere All at Once' and 'Oppenheimer'. Only 'Oppenheimer' can rival the 70's and 90's best picture Oscar winners. So, the motion picture Academy bestows its praises on films every year peer to peer. It's a credible process because people like Hanks and thousands of others in the industry are Academy voting members. If anyone thinks the films so far in the 2020's that have won best picture are as good as the ones from the 70's and 90's, historians would like to tell you that what is being made today is more CONTENT than it is CINEMATIC BRILLAINCE.

7:26 - in Germany that‘s different

The trouble with the movie theatres comes down to money. Young people have none, so they’d rather wait till it streams. So it really is upto the older gen to keep the movies relevant

🙏🏽

Who is the interviewer?

What is it about Hanks (of all people!) that attracts all these weirdos in all the comments section? What started it?

I enjoyed that, and being in exhibition I found his opinions on cinema v streaming particularly interesting, but the interviewer was terrible.

I think Mr Hanks was mistaken. There are very few really good original films made, in modern times, not as many as in the past. The economics used to be that films were a cheap source of entertainment, in terms of public access to them. With a theater seat costing upwards of $20, the majority of the population, who used to be middle class, who are now working poor, no longer can afford a night out like that, a few times a month. Plain old TV, be it broadcast, cable, or satellite and possibly streaming services are what most can afford. This means that spending the cost of a meal on a single motion picture experience means it it had better be worth it, to generate enthusiasm to continue repeating that expense. This puts pressure on industry investors to churn out remakes of earlier successful films, instead of chancing innovation of new stories, because of the risk of a loss. AI has the potential of destroying the film industry, as we have known it. People can soon be able to create their own films at home, or even have AI do it for them. So a motion picture experience is under even more pressure to deliver. No, the industry is going to have to find ways of becoming a more personal experience across the board. To me, this might mean opening up the guilds for regular personal interaction with the public at dinners, and auditoriums. Aside from rubbing elbows with the famous, hearing old stories, learning techniques we might apply to our own amateur efforts as hobbies, this is a possible future area of new growth for the industry at large, including actors, set design, lighting design, cinematography, sound, carpentry, costumers, literally every single group that contributed to the process can develop this engagement with fans and enthusiasts. We, as a civilization must learn to become community, again, in new ways. This will keep the industry alive, if it goes into the business of organizing these events.

бег за лошадью, в каком нибудь старом вестерне, это комедийный пик всех фильмов, которые смотрят в выходной

Ok tom took tak tik too haha❤❤🎉🎉

Tom your a diamond geezer, with so many facets in the rolls you've chosen. Good show.

You put a machine asking those questions and it will have more soul than these students. Please, spice it up! be human.

Forest Gump and Band of Brothers

Impressed with his weight loss.

Come a long way from Splash

I am Eleven

Tom and your ilk, you could have some so much good for society and people-you missed it.

Madam, please put the microphone closer to your voice hole. Thank you.

Gotta aknowledge the fact that most of us randomers mortals will never get face to face with Tom or ask him any questions and listen him talk but these spoiled little entitled high class brats have it going on since birth. I guess the revolution has yet to happen in Amerikkk.

I saw Napoleon at a Cinema, one of 100 movies worth watching at a Cinema. , Major Movies will ALWAYS be worth watching . Harry Potter, Ltd of the Rings, Saving Private Ryan... BIG MOVIE Blockbusters and other good movies, the problem Tom is most movies are meh ! Even Oppenheimer was on Netflix streaming , Killing the Cinemas.

That is not a good thumbnail pic

Loved the interview, and agreed with most of what he said, BUT!, I disagree about good movies like the Godfather are still being made. Movies suck now, thats the real reason streaming services have such a high rate of abandonment that he spoke of.

Here for comments only 😂

Tom shouts a bit too much :). His assertion that who you know has nothing to do with it may hold in some circumstances but it doesn't hurt! :)

Mr Hanks appears to be unwell

Why is chet hanks the way he is?

I love Mr. Hanks, but to tell people no one gets to be in a movie because of who they know is just flat disingenuous. It's actually the norm, not the exception. Completely blown away that he said that. And, yes, even TERRIBLE actors.

Shame she can't talk very well, we don't seem to care about diction and how we present ourselves anymore. Tom must be desperate to mimic her. 🙁

Somehow it are aways the 'stars', not the normal people, that make the movie. Over valued, over paid, just doing a job.

Who?

Sounds like a primary-school pupil interviewing the school janitor: 'I think that's really interesting, I think that's some really interesting point [sic.] about how much you can plan for when you make a film, and how many other variables are' (6:37)... 'Thank you, that's really interesting' (13:24). This is a top student at one of the top universities in the world, who represents not only her university but also the world famous debating society she's the president of.

this " president" is not doing a good job as a host and organizer of the event.

Да , он любого человека может отсканировать хоть американца , или из другой страны и повторить на камеру

Tom, visit me in RED BLUFF. We'll take care of that allergy or upper respiratory ailment! Unless of course, this be the most perfectly dramatized common human affliction ever. Pray tell?

COVID in Tom’s voice 😷👀?

That privileged child didn't like the answer Tom gave about who you know.

sorry, but that girl is out of this movie. she come out with some written questions, do not bother what he's answer (meaning how good/stupid the question is), just happy to be able to read the next question. such a lousy job .... sorry Oxford if you have to choose her just because is a she and not white....

Epstien island regular

drink some water dude.

I've never heard anybody speak for so long and say absolutely nothing. This guy should go back to wearing a dress because that was the only thing that made him what he is today

What is this ⚠️⚠️⚠️❓️❓️❓️the world is on fire 🔥...⚠️⚠️⚠️❓️❓️❓️

Movies the last 25years have sucked.

We all become ugly when we get old..

Nothing good absolutely nothing good has come out of Hollywood, nothing.

AKA, the PEDO!

When is he going to talk about pedophilia?

Oh god she's so bad.

Apparently he was very good friends with Epstine 🤢

God he looks awful.

Arrest Tom Hanks #isaackappy

Come on, Tom... we know who you're talking about when you mention "Those people" you even said "Their skin color" I never saw your racist side until this, Tom. I'll never see any of your movies again.

Why do we never see him with a wife 😮

What a wonderful and fruitful opportunity to interview such a prolific mind in cinema. Thank you! Ps. @michael-yy3fr has a small mind.
