a lot between what marty was doing and what i was doing and what george lucas was doing and steven spielberg was doing because george and steven really came from a populist, middle-american point of view and wanted to make movies that would move everybody. and marty wanted to make movies that moved himself. i think there's another contradiction in all this, which is that when you look at a director like coppola, committed in all sorts of ways to -- in his own work and through zoetrope, through the work of others, to making personal cinema, i think it's arguable that his "commercial movies" like "the godfather," are of a more personal nature than his so-called art movies. we've known each other years, but this is the first time you ever came to me for counsel and for help. i can't remember the last time you invited me to your house even though my wife is godmother to your only child. but let's be frank here. you never wanted my friendship. and you were afraid to be in my debt. the first few days of brando, i recall bob called me, saying, "are we going to subtitle this? cause marlon talking li

it's all happened he was doing business with tom hanks and steven spielberg and tom in particular resisted any temptation to make it hollywood stupid. it is not that. it has a realistic quality to it and a documentary quality that i think people respond to. in terms of my personal involvement, i was just, i was aware and that i was a bright being asked to play this role lender might be a little bit of resentment toward me from the other actors. i remember a conversation with donnie walsh barrett in our first night -- wahlberg in our first night, he said, i was in this block any shouted through the night in the darkness, he said, and don't worry about anything, whatever you are feeling, we respect you for the fact that you landed this role. if you landed this role, we are going to assume you're not a doofus. tavis: no pressure. >> time will tell. [laughter] we figure you have some smarts about 2 so you have our respect. go and do your thing. i was aware of a possible resentment. tavis: to your point, for those who do not know you're acting, gimme the thumbnail sketch of damian lewis before

you know, george lucas or steven spielberg.chrader: my theory is that the reason orson welles scared hollywood to death is because he inserted his personality in the most... elephantine, multi-talented way into cinema and it was just terrifying to see that much personality. the directors who had a style worked in certain channels-- the hitchcock style, the sturges style the ford style, the lubitsch style. there was a way they did it but they were working in the corporate conglomerate way. uh, orson welles was saying, "screw all of this. i'm going to reinvent movies." and, well, they got rid of him. and then, you know, with the nouvelle vague and then with bertolucci finally... this has now taken root in hollywood which is why hollywood is so anxious and confused at the moment because they know they have to give money to spike lee and to quentin tarantino and they don't like that fact. eventually they can co-opt them, hopefully. or make money off of them and hold their nose while they do it. uh, now the question i'm trying to as
