Watching this interview once more, after seeing 'Nightcrawler'.

I mean, this is Lou Bloom talking about Detective Loki! ;) Jake is awesome in both movies, and also in 'Enemy'. How about an Oscar for him? It's about time.

It's odd because I LOVE both Prisoners and Enemy. And yet Enemy gets overlooked! Which is really sad because it's such a gem of a movie...and in fact it is unashamably among my Top 3 favorite all time movies ever. I have friends who have seen Prisoners, which is an underrated film in itself. But they never heard of Enemy until I introduced them to it! I was initally attracted to the surreal nature of that film and the fact that he meets a doppleganger version of himself. I'm just THAT big of a fan of both Denis Villeneuve and Jake Gyllenhaal that the fact that they made these two movies back to back was just icing on the cake for me. I actually didn't know that Enemy was made before Prisoners, yet it came out the year after Prisoners.

​@@lotusglobe2671 What makes Enemy all the more interesting is that it helped build this bond between Jake and Dennie, whose movies tend to be brooding and he found his Bale in him.

@@Ana-iy8hq I never thought about that: Jake being on the same level as Bale. He did have the same brooding yet intelligent persona playing the college professor as well as the charming charisma of the actor who was his double. All qualities that I've seen in Christian before. I actually feel that him and Dennis hit it off smoothly with Enemy, which gave him the courage to be more intense with his role as Detective Loki later on. I also think his role as the writer in Nocturnal Animals was inspired by his work with Dennis.

Watching this, I felt like its so unfair that actors like Jake that actually put on effort on their craft are less appreciated or recognized, when some just have "great body" or whatever are much more popular and praised a lot. I really love Jake, perfect actor for me. :)

The film is so much more than that; the acting, the cinematography, everything is just so much better than I expected it to be. Probably that's why I love this movie as much as I do. Jake Gyllenhaal had one of, if not, the best performances I've seen this year.

ahhh so glad this interview exists i love when he talks seriously about his work

Thought the cryptic nature of the tattoos and how they weren’t being flaunted was great, in fact re-watching the film for the fifth time I just noticed more tattoos on his forearm in the scene where Bobby Taylor commits suicide and really appreciated that subtlety. I’d love to see another film about Loki, I thought he was fascinating and thought Gyllenhaal was captivating as Loki, the eye twitch or hard blink is just one example of life he breathed into this character.

Just is such an underrated actor, he is amazing. And I love his voice se can be really soft spoken like he is in this clip but also can be tough when speaking in some of his movie rolls. I just love him. 💕💕💕

Jake Gyllenhaal impersonating Denis Villeneuve with the Québécois accent is gold. 🤣 Excellent interview.

You can tell he's a great actor because he seems so nice and approachable when he's not in character as the intimidating Detective Loki.

Jake's a future great director.

I think his past related to a wrongful conviction (hence the jail tattoos) and being able to return to the force after his conviction was quashed. I loved that he hid his tattoos is brought a whole new depth to the character. Also - that scene at the door where he is asking about child's clothes - wow! One of my all time favourite scenes.

Really makes you appreciate the work behind the finished project. I love how collaborative it was

such an amazing actor.

Basically, the film is as much about Loki as the father, killer, parents. All of them, are prisoners in a manner of speaking.

Amazing interview! I don't care how late it was. It's full of insight and hearing him describe certain moments was so much fun. The beginning with Paul and him was amazing, my favorite part. XD The fact that it was improv makes it even more fantastic.

For me, this was The Film of the decade (2010s) and why Jake Gyllenhaal wasn't even nominated is beyond ridiculous.

Second to Fassbender, my favorite actor working today. Such a consistent performer, and he is quietly racking up one of the most impressive CVs out there. Really, really hope he is nominated for Prisoners.

Thanks for this. Bit late since the movie released a while back, but I've been hoping this interview with him for this movie with you would happen.

I usually watch my phone here and there during films, but with this one I was so invested I couldn’t take my eyes out of the screen

I love jake gyllenhaal so much ha

I loved Enemy as well. It was a movie thats certainly not horror by genre, but if you watch it in the dark by yourself, I found it extremely eerie and very creepy.

Thank you so much! This is terrifically inspiring. I'm kinda glad that what Jake said about his own stuff and Denis' confirmed my agenda that this film really is actually a metaphysical thriller about "what is actually there" and what isn't, and how the lack of something suggests the existence of that thing or person that is in this case, the missing children.

Thank you for this interview

Before I saw this film, I thought that Loki would be the bad guy just because of his name and I was really upset that I knew that and then I watched it and he wasn't, so that was a great surprise.
