This is one of my favorite movies. Outstanding script and acting. So glad James Coburn won an Oscar for it-well deserved.

Agreed. This is what one might call "an independent film of monumental proportions" as it takes the life of a family, the history; their past, future and the present which becomes the convoluted idea of all those three, leaving one with similar emotions of confusion, hoping for some kind of redeeming resolution. Nick Nolte is perhaps my favourite actor, but James Coburn on this film....

Long overdue Plus it 20 plus years since his passing We still miss Mr Coburn!!!

I wish more filmmakers were like Paul Schrader. He is a master at creating realistic, believable characters who aren't inherently likeable, but "real" nonetheless. Gritty, raw, realistic, character-driven, noirish crime thrillers are my favorite kinds of films with "psychological horror" close behind.

The people in his scripts talk like “real” people do. So many movies , or more often television shows, have characters constantly espousing these clever ripostes and witty off the cuff comments . And im just constantly telling myself “people don’t talk like this in real life!!!!” Everything out of their mouths is so profound ; it’s not believable because it’s not how people talk. Taxi Driver was a great movie because the characters talked like regular people. I can’t stand most of the writers on today’s television dramas.

Only 25 comments. Folks that are paying for Master Class for film should skip a month and just watch this. Great novel, but an even better movie. The story is so bone real it can be hard to look at. As heavy as the movie is, I love to listen to these guys laugh so hard. I just wish Sissy was in this interview with them. A female perspective on a story like this needs to be part of the conversation. Still, an amazing discussion.

Nick Nolte is so underrated,but he is an extraordinary actor ! he deserved to win an Oscar in 1998 for AFFLICTION and THIN RED LINE ! in both films he gave an extraordinary performances..

Yes he did

I find it interesting that Sissy is missing. But, the realisation that this is my family. But we were girls. I'm 49. I watch this interview today and now I understand. Never too old.

Fantastic movie!!! Outstandingly talented actors, all of them!!!. Directors relentless conviction and passion for believing in this film..... Coburn was strong and clearly the right man for the roll he plaid. Nolte tough, demanding, complex roll. Did an outstanding job!!! Sissy Spacek, Defoe..... outstanding!!! Painful to watch from time to time, but really an excellent movie just the same.

That was a great interview

Masters. Of all them.

I miss dialogue like this being commonplace on mainstream media. Our collective culture has been stupifed by smart phones and short term content.

Indeed!

RIP James Coburn (August 31, 1928 - November 18, 2002), aged 74 And RIP Russell Banks (March 28, 1940 - January 7, 2023), aged 82 You both will be remembered as legends.

In all sibling relationships in homes in which there’s violence, verbal abuse, and constant fear, will be tainted for the rest of their lives. Siblings should be with you long after your parents are gone. They are your family, and ideally, you can all rely on one another. Abusive parents inevitably divide their children against one another, leaving them with only fragments of family after they’re gone.

Staggering film.

Brilliant, devastating, horrifying, shocking, and fucking intense film making!!!!

My mother wasn't an alcoholic, but sure as shit was just as mean. My father is an alcoholic, got sober and had another family. The physical abuse was one thing, but the indifference and confidence in sobriety and anger are worse.

Best film ever to me.

The scene of Wade in the grader is stunning. Movie is absolute perfection. Every bit player is perfect. Fargo like performances by all. Should have swept every award

I also read the book; the movie is a good counterpart and that can’t be said about every movie after reading its book; to expound, in many cases, I couldn’t enjoy a movie after reading its book, because the movie was poor and, thus, disappointing, even insulting, in the wake of its so good book. Conversely, some movies were better than their books but these were matches for each other. That’s rare. I actually saw the movie first and, as in cases like Gone With the Wind, it was so good it made me curious about the book. I blazed through the former in three days and the latter in five. For me, that’s the speed of light because I don’t read for speed, I always take my time and savor but these books were that intense, engaging and so good. I’ve read Affliction twice and seen the movie four times. I read Gone With the Wind twice and seen the movie 3 times. Both the Affliction counterparts are among my all time favorites - what a cast! What writers! What a director! And what a book! I loved what James, Nick, Willem and Paul said, I savored every word. I love them all. And, I love Sissy. This makes Mesa to watch the movie again. And read the book again.

GREAT INTERVIEW ! MONDAY 3/25/24 MARCH 25, 2024

Nick Nolte Uplifted James Coburn Won Film Academy Award,William Defoe,Sissy Brought Characters To Be A Family.

It's an excellent novel.

Old man was good

Nolte’s Cobrun’s Spacek’s and Schrader’s best work. Dafoe wasn’t too shabby either Just leave it Wade! Just leave it! Praise the lord !!

Nolte slightly grizzled in this....

The only reason I watched this movie was to see Coburn’s Oscar performance. He didn’t disappoint, but what a horribly miserable movie
