12 Years A Slave Press Conference, Steve McQueen Disgusted By Interviewer

[The Real]

40 min. of him with the faces as he gets asked ridiculous questions by a clueless white woman. Still, you get a little more insight into the movie and his process.

 

[Cat piss martini]

dude almost called her a bytch...

 

[Calmye]

40min mark

 

[TheGodling]

His answer to her very first question had me dying. Dude spent a minute eloquently answering before realizing the question made no sense and then called her out on it.

 

[Calmye]

36:02 Mark.
Seemed like everyone was confused by the question. Asking the director how his movie relates to a totally different movie is beyond asinine. I liked the way he handled it tho

 

[Majestyx]

i salute steve, but i cant watch anymore slave related movies. glad he sonning people asking stupid ass questions

 

[detroitwalt]

Damn.....I'm bout to put myself on blast here, but I had no idea who Steve McQueen was. Defintitely did not think he was black. Learn something new everyday.

edit-Not even 2 minutes in and his faces got me cracking up

 

[Clapsteel O'Neal]

Ohh wait shyt! Is this the artist steve mcqueen!?! I'm gonna have to watch the movie now (I didn't want to beforehand)

Steve mcqueen is beyond legit

He's the only artist ever to win two specific awards (I know one of them is the turner prize)

I was gonna actually make a thread about him titled 'little known examples of black excellence'. The guy is a legit genius

i salute steve, but i cant watch anymore slave related movies. glad he sonning people asking stupid ass questions

because there have been so many.

 

[7oclock]

sometimes you just go with the flow...applaud him for taking a stand for his movies but a part of me is like "geez chill out" just do the circuit and get your money

 

[The Phoenix]

HAHAHAHA. I'm not gonna even front. When I heard Steve McQueen was directing this, I thought it was the actor from back in the day. LMAO. I did not know Steve McQueen was a brotha. I didn't even know the other Steve McQueen was dead....and BEEN dead. I told my mom about this movie the other day and I told her Steve McQueen was directing it and she said "STEVE MCQUEEN........" with a funny look and then she just kinda did the Kanye shrug as if to say "I thought that nikka was dead....but I guess he isn't......." I feel silly as hell right about now. And I consider myself a movie buff to some extent. Gee whiz. I am having a good laugh at myself right now.

 

[GetInTheTruck]

somebody gif his reaction to that first question.

 

[O.Red]

This nikka had bout 7 smilies for every question

Cac interviewer: What would you say was your inspiration for making a film about slavery? Why slavery?

I wanted to It was really that simple I read the book and felt an inspiration to make the film

*looks away from this bytch like she doesn't exist*

I always have to recheck myself when I hear his name too

 

[Majestyx]
