Speaking of the 'And We Go Green' documentary, what do you guys here think about climate change? Do you think that it's something political and it could be more about money? Or is there something more going on?

Glad to see someone put the whole French tv interview into one video , tks  

 

Also, tks, for posting the Indie Wire link to the article I was referring to yesterday 

 

Speaking of which , I think these pix we saw early on of Leo on set  ,wearing what appears to be  military type clothing , were connected to the  cut  scene that  Tarantino mentioned that was similar to The Great Escape 

 

 

As I think the pix below were from when he was on show Bounty Hunter

Hope you can help me with this question.  

 

In the French interview it is difficult  for us non French speaking posters  to hear at times what the actors are saying , or for that matter,  figure out what was the question the interviewer asked 

 

But I did hear her mention in one question French actor , and I'm sure when he was younger the  'heartthrob of France"  Alain Delon ,   Was she  mentioning him because both Leo and Brad , besides their acting talent, are known for their good looks /popularity with women ???

 

And the video taker had camera to side, but this is a short video of Leo meeting famed Italian director Lena Wertmuller

I want to thank the jury from the bottom of my black heart," the director said when collecting the prize on behalf of the pooch named Brandy.

Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywoodhas claimed its first ever award.

The darkly comic film – starring Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Margot Robbie – had its world premiere in Cannes on Tuesday, where it was well-received by critics. But the movie's first honor was not for the A-list lineup or legendary director but instead for a four-legged member of the star-studded cast.

Brandy, the Pitbull pet of Pitt's character Cliff Booth — an animal with some considerable screen time who plays a crucial role in at least one scene — won the Palm Dog award for the best performance by a canine in a film.

Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio Talk Tarantino, Stardom and What Might Have Been

CANNES, France — On Tuesday, Quentin Tarantino returned with a bang and much critical love to the Cannes Film Festival with “Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood,” his finest in years. A dream of a movie, it follows a handful of Hollywood types living in smoggy, starry Los Angeles in 1969, the year the Manson family went on a frenzied murder spree. Among the victims was the actress Sharon Tate, then married to Roman Polanski. In Tarantino’s Hollywoodland, Tate and Polanski live next door to Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio), a struggling, self-doubting TV actor. His best friend is Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt), a stuntman whose glory days are probably behind him. Rick could be another Clint Eastwood; Cliff should have been another Steve McQueen.

 

On Wednesday afternoon, I sat down for a brief chat with Pitt and DiCaprio in a suite at the Carlton Hotel, one of the grand hotels overlooking the Mediterranean. The two were in the midst of a massive publicity operation that day, giving interview after interview.

 

Presenting a movie at Cannes can be big business and the army of Sony Pictures employees handling this offensive had the air of people worried about fumbling the most delicate of rarities. Their famous charges, by contrast, seemed wholly relaxed. Each man was affable, direct and seemed happy to talk, but, then, they have been in the business a long time. They know how to do this.

 

Here are excerpts from the conversation.

 

MANOHLA DARGIS Did Tarantino show you movies to prepare for your roles?

 

BRAD PITT [to DiCaprio] More you than me.

 

 

 

LEONARDO DICAPRIO We had a screening of a multitude of B films that I had never heard of, a lot of 1960s television with actors like Ralph Meeker and Ty Hardin. These guys could have been McQueen-esque, but didn’t make the transition from black and white television, especially westerns, to career-makers like “The Great Escape.” So it was almost like a love story to them. Did they get that one opportunity? No, that may have passed them by. So let’s start talking about your character, what he might have been, what he’s struggling with as a working-class guy in the industry who has been playing the heavy from television show to television show. What that does to his psyche and his confidence?

 

PITT I [remember] a lot of that television. In fact [Tarantino] reminded me of much of it that I had forgotten. We did watch “Billy Jack,” some Tom Laughlin, just for fun. We were pretty much weaned on the same television and film. We talked a lot about the stuntman-actor relationship. I got to meet Bud Ekins, who was Steve McQueen’s. This was a legendary relationship. He did the jump for “The Great Escape,” got Steve McQueen into motorcycles. And, then, Burt Reynolds and Hal Needham. We got to talk to Burt. Originally he was going to play George Spahn. We had rehearsals before he passed. I was surprised what a joy that was and how giving he was, and I was really moved by it. But then I realized that so much of my childhood was watching Burt Reynolds — he was the biggest thing around in the late 1970s.

 

 

DARGIS Did you two hang out so you could develop your flow together?

 

DICAPRIO You come to Hollywood and you’re basically isolated and left to your own devices. [Rick and Cliff] rely on this friendship for everything. We immediately fell into those shoes. We understood that relationship [laughs] so quickly that on the first day, we were those guys.

 

PITT It was pretty automatic. We both came on the scene around the same time, we have crossed paths many times, we have the same reference points. I’ve always felt that you don’t understand the deal you’re making when suddenly you’re that lone gazelle on the plain and the herd’s gone, so to speak. And, you know, my friend here [he gestures toward DiCaprio] has been the same. So there’s automatic comfort in having experienced the same thing in that way. That’s not a complaint in any way, I say that merely as fact. We have mutual respect and I know when an actor elevates a scene, so we carry that respect.

 

DARGIS Obviously Tarantino’s movies are very written and his voice is very strong. Does it take awhile to shake his voice out and fill in yours?

 

 

DICAPRIO And hear your own, is that what you’re saying? [Laughs] I suppose so. He is such an absolute powerhouse of a personality, of course, and an artist as well. But, look, he gives you real ownership. [There are] beats that you need to hit. But there are plenty of opportunities where once you get into the groove, there can be a completely improvisational scene. And you’re almost making reference points from his dialogue and his voice and the multitude of talks that you’ve had with him about who this character is and what kind of movie he wants to make. They sort of bloom sometimes, and that’s happened quite a few times.

 

PITT You know when you have an altercation in public or you put your foot in your mouth, and you’re driving home and you think of that witty thing that you wished you would have said? His dialogue is that witty thing.

 

DARGIS Rick Dalton is kind of like the Clint Eastwood who doesn’t happen.

 

DICAPRIO He is the guy who almost got that shot — and that’s what’s torturing my character. I grew up in this industry, I have a lot of friends who are actors, and there’s so much talent out there. But it really boils down to being at the right place at the right time.

 

PITT We talk about this with streaming. With streaming, we see so much talent that was always there. There are so many more opportunities. We’re seeing this wealth of actors, writers and directors. And it just reminds us how lucky we were to land where we landed.

 

DICAPRIO Mm-hmm.

 

DARGIS I worry that so much seems disposable.

 

PITT It may be. I’ve been really interested in younger generations that cannot just sit in a chair for the length of a movie. They want their information quicker. That may just be the changing of the times. I don’t know.

 

DICAPRIO I see positives in the fact that things and ideas and story lines that normally studios might not take a chance on, through these new streaming services, will see the light of day. So cream may rise to the top. What were people saying about the transition from silent films to talkies and the advent of television? There were all these changes, but great art is going to be spoken about and, hopefully, we don’t get so inundated that we become confused.

 

 

DARGIS I found “Once Upon a Time” surprisingly moving.

 

PITT Absolutely, you can see it in the script, you can feel it.

 

DICAPRIO The only thing I’ll say is that I know what the Manson murders sort of represented, being a native of Los Angeles and having parents who are still hippies to this day.

 

DARGIS Real hippies?

 

PITT I met his dad on set and said, “How nice, he’s going to be an extra in the film.” And he goes “No, that’s him every day.”

 

DICAPRIO They talked about this loss of innocence, this real turning point where they had these ideals about what the future could be. And then all of a sudden this one longhaired guy — and how he manipulated these kids to do what they did — it changed the world forever.

 

PITT I walk away [from the film] with a hopeful reminder of what it can be, what we can be.

 

DARGIS What was the hopeful part?

 

PITT Taking care of each other, that’s what I feel at the end. It really endears me to Quentin. I could be projecting, but I see a kid who was home by himself a lot and found his —

 

DICAPRIO — solace —

 

PITT — solace and direction in these heroes on the screen, big and small. I find that in his dialogue. I find that in the scenarios. I find this one really endearing. He’s exposing his own self-doubts. [DiCaprio starts mm-hmming.] I just see this real innocent kid who wishes life could be this way. Maybe it’s because I know Quentin I find it hopeful and endearing. I was really, really moved at the end.

 

DARGIS I find it’s interesting that he’s gone back to the past again.

 

PITT He’s going back to his childhood.

 

DICAPRIO Yeah, I agree. What Brad said is very pertinent because cinema and television and all this stuff, it’s in [Tarantino’s] DNA. He puts things in historical context but he also creates a fairy tale. This whole idea of him recreating history — like what he did in “Inglourious Basterds” with Hitler — much like Scorsese, too, where in their childhood, cinema became part of their DNA and their language and their ability to converse with others —

 

PITT — their spiritual grounding —

 

DICAPRIO — yeah, it’s embedded in who they are as human beings. You rarely find people like that. Like Brad was saying, this is his homage and his reminiscence of 1969 where everything changed culturally and cinematically. It’s incredibly imaginative.

From interview with Leo's long time pal Guillaume Canet

 

Quote

Are you going to see Leonardo DiCaprio in Cannes? Have you maintained your friendship with him? (They met on The Beach (2000) and at one point DiCaprio

had planned to produce an English-language remake of Canet’s first film, Whatever You Say (Mon Idole), but it didn’t happen.)

 

GUILLAUME CANET: Yeah we are still very close. I can’t wait to see that (Tarantino) film. 

 

He didn’t come to your party last night. He would have been a bit of a scenestealer.

 

GUILLAUME CANET: No he didn’t come. He invited me to another party but I tried to explain to him that I couldn’t leave the party for my movie. I didn’t want to leave like that. But I’m going to see him tonight.

 

Are you going to collaborate with him again?'

 

GUILLAUME CANET: I would like to direct a movie one day with him. Maybe when he is older and less expensive!

According upcoming award season:

Quote

Both Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio scored great reviews and are two of those four potential Best Actor nominees coming off Cannes. That is, if Sony doesn’t attempt to split them up and perhaps campaign DiCaprio in lead and Pitt in support (DiCaprio plays a fading TV star and Pitt is his stuntman and driver), but that isn’t where the thinking seems to be at this early point. I asked Sony Pictures chief Tom Rothman that very question at the film’s premiere afterparty on Tuesday night. “I think they are both leads, but we will see what the critics in the world say. I personally think they are deserving, but then I am biased. Very,” he laughed.

Found this on twitter (was a bit tough because according to twitter he's now a predator you know   )

 

[BarbieErin]

Ahh ok, a 21 to 22 woman is a kid now, yeah sure.   

 

I do think she's young for him, hell yeah, I'am not SUPER fond of this relrelationship, also true, but she's an ADULT woman and those saying he's a predator are f****** kidding me.   

[Jade Bahr]

^It's more because of the whole "he knows her since she's 11" thing (and because of the "he never dated a woman under 25" graphic). To be honest I never thought the family friend statement was the smartest move but whatever

 

The (social media) trend to judge from the very outside without knowing a single fact (just copy something you read somewhere from anyone in the internet, I mean really? Is it that simple these days?) is even less smarter to me so...

IF he knows her since 11 (which I doubt) since we never saw him hanging with her or her family EVER before, but what IF he saw her once or twice when she was 11? What that can mean? Only on disturbed minds that can imagine the worst things this could be a big deal...  He's didn't started dating her when she was 15 or something, I mean people are soo ridiculous and yeah, judging without knowing.
