What is so interesting is that despite all the controversy this cast is 100% proud of what they did. Maybe we are missing something.

I waited until the entire season came out so I could watch each episode back to back. I have to say, I honestly enjoyed the ride. The writing May be off in some scenes, but this show is pure art. Every shot is beaufitul. Every sound choice was magical. It was much better than everyone says it is

They shouldn't have canceled this honestly 🙄🙄🙄. People are so closed minded

[suemcclellan]

“ Surround yourself with wonderful people”. Is so true. Lily Rose Depp is a lovely young woman with so much promise. Looking forward to seeing her flourish…. Lovingly, Sue McClellan ❤

[arontamas]

I love the tone of this conversation. Modest but emotional at the same time, they clearly are proud of this project.

Jennie Ruby Jane Kim "the idol"

Watch Jennie only scenes compilations getting more views than main cast😂😂

Im honestly tired of the internet negativity. Everyone is watching those YouTubers saying the show is trash and blah blah but do you guys realize they do this for the hype right? It gives them views, and thats why they do it.

My point is: don't assume everything is trash based on short YouTube clips or what these YouTubers are saying that it's the worst thing ever. See it for yourself and have your own opinion own it, instead of agreeing with everyone just because everyone hates it for some reason.

Even if its really a bad show, its not the end of the world and at least you watched and got your OWN opinion on the matter, liking it or not.

Sometimes people just follow the hate train on the internet. Whether its to hate a celebrity, a show, a music band or whatever. Always follow your own opinion on the matter, and don't hate it just because everyone seems to hate it.

I love the coolness of Lily-Rose when everyone reached out for their headphones when the french guy started asking his question...Being multilingual is the most iconic superpower I think

This is the only press conference I didn't manage to find on Cannes Film Festival official YouTube channel. Thank you so much!

I feel like I might be the only one who thinks this but I’m interested to see this show. I’m a huge advocate for women and although the switch of the directors and the things I have read online is concerning I’m still a little hesitant to cancel the show or crap on it and euphoria bc of it’s provocativeness. In my opinion (this might be controversial) I’m sex positive and like the way sex is introduced in shows like game of thrones, black mirror, euphoria, etc. these shows are all controversial with lots of sex but I like how raw it is. Porn is already all over the internet. Twitter, google, Instagram, Snapchat, even tik tok. So idk if I’m just desensitized but I don’t care about graphic stuff in shows. It just makes the shows more realistic to me. Life is graphic, the United States is largely pornographic, look around. I would be a hypocrite if I said I liked songs like WAP or On The Way, but hate shows with graphic content. I also feel like the billions of people who consume porn daily are hypocrites. Might as well say classic paintings are too graphic as well (which I’m sure they did during their time as well). Do I like that a man directed this? No not really. But how do I know what goes on behind scenes. What if lily is being honest and plays a large role in how her character is played and Sam is not really to blame. What if all this hate is misguided bc we haven’t even seen the show and we don’t know the truth. If the acting sucks that’s one thing, if the main actresses/actors said they were uncomfortable that’d be another, if they didn’t have intimacy coordinators I’d also be concerned but they do. I just feel like everyone wants to bash something just to feel different and have a different opinion. Maybe Sam is this horrible person, lots of horrible people make great art. I just think he’s trying to prove how explicit the modern times are first hand. If this show is centered around the sexual violence in the pop industry, then guess what? There’s going to be sexual violence. Also, look at any porn site and the most trending videos… guess what it is? Hardcore, cnc, etc. it’s all violent and I think Sam is trying to shove it in our faces, make us hate it just so we realize how sexually violent we are as people. No better way to see it than head on. I get why people are upset, this is a very sensitive topic, sensitive to me even but I think it’s an important conversation to have. Make people uncomfortable, make people face their skeletons they keep locked in the closet. Sorry for ranting but I feel like I haven’t seen anyone say this and I want to give another perspective before we jump to conclusions.

the “cancel culture” needs to come into this show with an open mind. i HATE how people my age will come into something that theyre not familiar with or not prefer and deem it “cancelled” this show isnt supposed to be a fairytale it’s supposed to be real, dark, raw. its art. people in 2023 need to work on being more open minded. and this cancel culture bs needs to be put to an end. even though this show is not something i would normally watch im coming in with an open mind and seeing what these actors and directors made. they’re obviously proud of this so lets see what they see in it.

14:27 i like how he kinda understood what the interviewer asked him in french.

[xFreakyFresh]

I'm so excited for it to come out!! And I think that all those people who are causing this "drama" (= cancel culture) are making this show (more) iconic because, as far as I know without having watched it, it is NOT supposed to be a fairytale and the characters are not supposed to be role models. It is about a PrObLeMaTiC world so of course that's what we're going to get to see. I feel like nowadays people have stopped separating films/art from the real world which I don't think is a good thing because it limits artists too much. Let's, at least, wait for the whole thing to come out, then you can form an opinion and express it (without starting hate campaigns btw).
edit: at 42:21 Jane Adams summed up what I was trying to say haha

[ween_n]

queen jennie is not there but still the main slayer even the comments talk about her💋i wonder how many people is jealous on the queen!!! queen jennie

[lolalola]

Abel says a lot with just a few words.

[christineelio]

LILY Rose seems to be humble like her dad
She is beautiful.

[stinabo]

Why didn't they let Lily speak more french😢? I love when she speaks in french.

[derrickdicaprio]

Now that the show's premiered, hearing them talk eloquently about a porno is hilarious!
