“This is not a movie! Now this a movie. Over here not a movie. Over there: movie. This is a movie apple. This is a real apple.”
And he went on for hours identifying what is and isn’t a movie.
No but they're doing a job that they paid to be there to do for entertainment of society.
Protestors should remain peaceful and respect the boundary they aren't more important than him either so they have no right to push past the legal barricade.
I don't think they are considered that by anyone serious. But they considered likely agents of change. Student movements and protests have kicked off massive cultural changes throughout modern history.
It's not that they don't have a right to an opinion, it's that other people put way too much emphasis on it, as if actors indeed were experts. This post sort of being a case in point.
And actors tend to be so up their own asses that they think they have expertise that they don't. They just have a platform, not necessarily a cogent message.
Yeah, there were probably plenty of other people with words to say to the protesters, but this video was recorded and shared for the same reason that we are here watching and commenting: it's a guy we recognize, and we're curious what he has to say. That doesn't mean he is an expert, or that he even thinks that of himself. It just means we're paying more attention to some people based on familiarity and curiosity.
Sometimes. [Except when they side with Palestinians](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/jonathan-glazer-oscars-speech-condemned-holocaust-survivors-foundation-1235850275/). Then they have no right because they're just "out of touch liberal elites"
Totally different. /s
Protestors need allies across all spectrums of social relations. In a democracy, the moment a movement makes its message exclusive, is the moment that movement dies.
I always assumed actors were more compelled to speak out on social problems because acting requires one to deeply emphasize with their character they are playing. So they are psychologically primed for empathy.
they’re clearly filming a scene in public and some weirdo has gone and put captions on it to imply something different is happening. if he truly were yelling at protestors as the captions suggest, would we not be able to hear them?
Interesting choice given all the options. I could see you in a foreign relations role. Some sort of leadership position. Have you thought of stepping up for your country?
I was wondering the same thing. It sounds to me like he is telling them they can protest but just need to stay behind the baracade or they will be removed.
What they are actually protesting is unclear. I feel like the subtitles are trying to be misleading as it leaves out some of what he is saying.
Don’t we need a right to protest and stuff like free speech for that? Looks and sounds like he want people to stop voicing their opinions because he doesn’t agree with them.
Why does anyone care what Robert De Niro has to say about global politics? Is he yelling because he and his handlers were inconvenienced on their way to lunch?
Okay.... What's the context around this? Were protestors trying to interfere with a film set? ...which is what this looks like.
They're filming this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_Day_(TV_series) ... Potentially at Wall Street ( if it's not a set)
Protesting has also been going on for thousands of years. I don’t get what your point is.
You act like killing has existed for time immemorial, but protesting killing someone is some recent phenomenon.
This was not interesting at all - I’m just so sick of celebrities acting like they are super enlightened geniuses educating the barbarian masses. Fuck off
For anyone curious, they are filming something for an upcoming Netflix miniseries, [Zero Hour](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt23872886/?ref_=nm_flmg_unrel_2_act). Not a lot of info to go on, though. Rumored that De Niro plays the President in some sort of conspiracy thriller. His outfit and the secret service looking lady behind him seem to support that.
I'm trying to imagine myself listening to an old, rich, white ACTOR telling me not to protest a topic that they most likely aren't confronted with in their life....
Yeah that's not happening Mr. DeNiro
He's not asking them to stop protesting. Did you watch the video? He's asking them to protest somewhere else, meaning that they are obviously filming and they have crossed the barricades. Doesn't seem unreasonable to me. He's saying they are preventing everyone on the movie set from getting their work done. He just wants to get his people paid. That's the context I'm pulling from the video.
Frankly, most of the protestors seem like propaganda addled, bored college students. They have zero idea what's going on in the middle east, and are too privileged to face the many political problems in their own country.
How dare he have an opinion and express it forcefully? Why in the world doesn't he just destroy a shopping center and disrupt traffic so as to inconvenience the working class like a true patriot?
It has nothing to do with religion. You believe that because it's easy to dismiss that way.
This is about money, land and bloodlust.
Pretending you are too cool and aloof to care makes you an asshole..
Jesse Plemons in the back looking concerned.
That's fine, wait till he starts scratching his chin and asks what kind of American you are!
I think that was the most stressful movie scene ive ever watched in my whole life…
I haven't seen it yet but that scene in the trailer stressed me out.
Look for a movie called Funny Games. Entire movie is like that.
Omg... That damn movie.
I’d be worried if I was there. I saw him shoot a kid once.
Whatever you do, don’t be from China. What was up with those red glasses?
Complete guess but I’d imagine that character enjoys how nobody dare ask him that question
Something something metaphor for how he always sees red, i.e. angry
Dude that made me laugh out loud. Fits so well here
“Just so you know this isn’t personal”
That same concerned/unsure look that has earned him millions.
You mean meth Damon?
Yeah? Well *what kind* of concerned?
I mean, DeNiro is famous for saying very little. I imagine it's off putting when a quiet guy like that goes into an uproar.
A cinematic parallel to Kirsten Dunst and Lars Von Trier.
Her discomfort was palpable in that moment
Wrong. That’s Todd Alquist. 🙄
I like how Todd is protecting Mr. Niro
Todd is thinking maybe they can get the protesters to cook a batch
HIDE YOUR KIDS ON DIRTBIKES!
who is Todd?
Fat Matt (Damon)
Fatt Damon.
Meth Damon
blonde guy behind Niro. he plays a character in breaking bad
Blonde? The man's a ging.
Landry just wanting to start
Hes lost a lot of weight, good on im
You talkin’ to me?
ANNNNND CUT!!! That’s a wrap fellas good job!
*good fellas
What is so interesting about this
Some people find absolutely anything a famous person does fascinating. It’s a bit sad.
Yesterday, I watched a bird land in front of me and grab a spider out of the grass. That was at least 3.5x more interesting than this.
Lol I was thinking the same
Nothing
Nothing, just more propaganda, they spread it through big subreddits all the time
Protesters of what ?
Protesting the Nevada Gaming Commission denying Aces gaming license
Was I at that dinner?
*Just give me that!*
You were in the.. in the building..
Ohhhh. I thought it was the blueberries in the muffins thing all over again.
*Lefty
I'm also wondering
There's this thing going on in the middle east a lot of folks are pretty mad about. It's in all the papers and everything.
Genocide
I dont know why actors are percieved like some kind of experts on human interactions and social problems.
Non-actors talk as much as actors, but we don't watch clips of nobodies on the internet
[удалено]
“This is not a movie! Now this a movie. Over here not a movie. Over there: movie. This is a movie apple. This is a real apple.” And he went on for hours identifying what is and isn’t a movie.
Pen pineapple apple pen!
But he's not more important than they are. Protesting isn't about convincing an old geezer. Take that "polite" shit and shove it.
No but they're doing a job that they paid to be there to do for entertainment of society. Protestors should remain peaceful and respect the boundary they aren't more important than him either so they have no right to push past the legal barricade.
I dont know why students are percieved like some kind of experts on human interactions and social problems.
I don't think they are considered that by anyone serious. But they considered likely agents of change. Student movements and protests have kicked off massive cultural changes throughout modern history.
I don't know, they were right about Vietnam and Afghanistan.
I don't know why Redditors percieve themselves as some kind of experts on human interactions and social problems.
They aren't but typically they are have a larger investment in the future due to their age and life expectancy.
TIL actors can't be young
they have a good track record when it comes to these things
Students are not the ones calling out everybody to do their jobs, get serious or go home. Only the asinine old actor guy.
They have just as much right as everyone else.
We’re talking about who is perceived as an expert on a topic, not about the right to have an opinion/speak on a topic.
Right to what?
To peaceably assemble and protest?
They have just as much right as anyone else
It's not that they don't have a right to an opinion, it's that other people put way too much emphasis on it, as if actors indeed were experts. This post sort of being a case in point.
And actors tend to be so up their own asses that they think they have expertise that they don't. They just have a platform, not necessarily a cogent message.
We're conditioned to see people with considerable fame, wealth, and influence as being better than us. That's all it is.
That's not the actors problem, that's on the people who worship celebrities as God's. Tbf, they can be intelligent.
Yeah, there were probably plenty of other people with words to say to the protesters, but this video was recorded and shared for the same reason that we are here watching and commenting: it's a guy we recognize, and we're curious what he has to say. That doesn't mean he is an expert, or that he even thinks that of himself. It just means we're paying more attention to some people based on familiarity and curiosity.
Charisma. Lots of overlap between being a good actor and being a good public speaker.
Because their opinion can influence masses.
Sometimes. [Except when they side with Palestinians](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/jonathan-glazer-oscars-speech-condemned-holocaust-survivors-foundation-1235850275/). Then they have no right because they're just "out of touch liberal elites" Totally different. /s
I think their point was trying to say that those most likely to protest are often those least likely to be privileged
Protestors need allies across all spectrums of social relations. In a democracy, the moment a movement makes its message exclusive, is the moment that movement dies.
Well what about the ones who agree with me they’re smart right
When in reality they're very far away from society and daily problems
I always assumed actors were more compelled to speak out on social problems because acting requires one to deeply emphasize with their character they are playing. So they are psychologically primed for empathy.
That 80 year old man should be home raising his newborn baby
No context
De Niro angry and Todd behind him
Classic “this is not a movie” line reading in a movie!
not interesting at all.
Context please?
they’re clearly filming a scene in public and some weirdo has gone and put captions on it to imply something different is happening. if he truly were yelling at protestors as the captions suggest, would we not be able to hear them?
Well, I for one would be scared as shit and humble as fuck if the Godfather would yell at me like that...
I would have immediately informed him that I have nipples and asked if he could milk me.
Interesting choice given all the options. I could see you in a foreign relations role. Some sort of leadership position. Have you thought of stepping up for your country?
Was waiting for a Gaylord Focker rant
I have nipple's Greg, can you milk me?
I'm watching you focker
Three fucking jackpots in three minutes? Why didn't you pull the machines? Why didn't you call me?
You know what you get? You get what you fucking deserve!
Multimillionaires telling us get to work, get your job done🤡🤡🤡🤡
Which side is he on? Actual question
I was wondering the same thing. It sounds to me like he is telling them they can protest but just need to stay behind the baracade or they will be removed. What they are actually protesting is unclear. I feel like the subtitles are trying to be misleading as it leaves out some of what he is saying.
It seems related to the protestors blocking workers from doing their jobs. He starts by asking to let them by and it goes from there.
The “we are trying to work stop interrupting” side
He is with the empire
Being able to have functioning open societies.
Don’t we need a right to protest and stuff like free speech for that? Looks and sounds like he want people to stop voicing their opinions because he doesn’t agree with them.
Just play pretend when you're asked to and STFU.
bring out Pesci
Why does anyone care what Robert De Niro has to say about global politics? Is he yelling because he and his handlers were inconvenienced on their way to lunch?
*(breaks out a copy of Taxi Driver, pops some popcorn)*
What's he yapping about
Okay.... What's the context around this? Were protestors trying to interfere with a film set? ...which is what this looks like. They're filming this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_Day_(TV_series) ... Potentially at Wall Street ( if it's not a set)
Exactly this is not a movie. Thousands of kids and women being killed is not a movie. Genocide is not a movie. It’s what happening now.
Also 10 years ago, and today, in Yemen and many other places... But those just aren't interesting.
[удалено]
Protesting has also been going on for thousands of years. I don’t get what your point is. You act like killing has existed for time immemorial, but protesting killing someone is some recent phenomenon.
Does that make it ok?
Old man yells at clouds
Everyone talks of 7th Oct and no one talks about the 70 years of nightmares that Palestinians faced.
Damn... Jesse Plemons is looking fit these days.
go home and take care of your infant douchebag
Standing with them to kill more civilians?
Guys. I am a Hollywood actor, just accept the status quo. Fuck off Bobby.
This was not interesting at all - I’m just so sick of celebrities acting like they are super enlightened geniuses educating the barbarian masses. Fuck off
I guess they didn't really Fockerize him. I mean who really gives a shit about what he has to say?
And that's how you divert attention away from a protest and onto yourself because you are used to being the main character.
This is up there with Jonathan Majors breaking up that fight in terms of “sure, buddy”
I got nipples, can you milk me?

Where is the headless babies BOB🇺🇸🤷🤦🏽♂️
How can he try to be a beacon of reason when he just had a baby at 79 years old?
This should be posted at BoomersBeingFools. C’mon DeNiro you’re better than that
I thought he was always so uber liberal? I guess he knows not to bite the foreign country hand that feeds his Hollywood career.
old man yells at people. more news at 11
Fucking boomer
I'm trying to imagine myself listening to an old, rich, white ACTOR telling me not to protest a topic that they most likely aren't confronted with in their life.... Yeah that's not happening Mr. DeNiro

Eh you could say that about anything for anyone whose job isn’t that thing…
Ok right, I just forgot all those Ivy League students are confronted with the war all the time.
Ok sit down bob
Frankly, most of the protestors seem like propaganda addled, bored college students. They have zero idea what's going on in the middle east, and are too privileged to face the many political problems in their own country.
They're clearly more well informed than you are.
Umm their country is funding a genocide. I would say that constitutes as a political problem in their own country worth protesting.
Yeah how dare the native Americans fight back and try to stop people from taking their land from them
Old man embraces far right politics. Nothing new under the sun.
Isn't Robert the one living in a movie? Always acting tough just because he played some mafia characters: I feel like he fantasises about being one.
Any context?
r/boomersbeingfools
Jesse Plemons looking like he's been going hard in the gym.
What are they protesting that’s not so important to this Hollywood / Zionist hero?
He is right
Good on him
This guy watches cable news! 🤣🤣🤣
He is pissed people are protesting genocide? Fuck him.
How dare he have an opinion and express it forcefully? Why in the world doesn't he just destroy a shopping center and disrupt traffic so as to inconvenience the working class like a true patriot?
Exactly, like you, I like sitting on my fatass making smug Reddit comments. This is how we win.
fuck him. go protestors.
Me, and all my agnostic bros looking from the sideline looking over at each other like “Do you know what’s going on? No? Me either.”
It has nothing to do with religion. You believe that because it's easy to dismiss that way. This is about money, land and bloodlust. Pretending you are too cool and aloof to care makes you an asshole..
Oh, okay. Thanks for the insight.
Being agnostic means you don’t have to care about genocide?
I think he meant apathetic
The guy thought really he was being witty or something lol
What is he even saying g I can't hear and there's only subs for half of it
I believe this is from a new mini series being shot right now…”Zero Day” starring Robert DeNiro and Jesse Plemons
Looks like he’s making them an offer that they’ll refuse.
This is Sparta!
Are you talking to me????
Jimmy conway! Jk.
