I wish the movie industry would make documentaries like this more often

[allghilliedup]

Every aspiring director should watch this: Fincher understands the flow of every scene, knows every way the actors need to hit their moments, and knows how to convey it clearly and concisely. It’s thrilling.

[sinistrality]

We NEED another Sorkin-Fincher film, the world needs another masterpiece from these two.

[mmclaughlin]

Whoever edited this is A-class in editing.

[warmarcade]

It amazes me how all these super talented, confident actors behave so nervously around David Fincher. I think it really puts the whole thing into perspective.

[Coolgirlclare]

The way that Fincher was showing the actors how to react with their hands in the scene... and it actually made a huge difference... anyone with his eye for detail deserves to be as successful as Fincher. A cinematic genius no other way to put it.

[irvkoi]

The documentary that made me fall in love with the filmmaking process.

[bostoncelticstruth]

Hearing Fincher and sorkin talk about the script is fascinating

[Pass____over]

watching actors working with their director is so interesting

[ClaireSamuelsVA]

Ordinarily I’d say “masterpiece” is a potentially hyperbolic term, but not here. Here it is absolutely justified. How blessed we are to have a documentary on its creation

[wwb]

So cool to see how involved Aaron Sorkin was in the production process.

[rishshortfilms]

Probably one of the best behind the scenes documentaries ever. Needs more views for sure.

[mikeyproctor]

This BTS is so good. Really illustrates Fincher's role as a magnificent curator more than a director or an auteur. Also shows the importance of collaboration not just between Fincher and Sorkin but everyone on the set. The word 'collaboration' gets thrown around a lot but it feels so profound here; getting a huge group of people to look toward a common goal that if not for any one of them might be lost.

4:03 "and all the ice cream you can eat"? oh my god, thank you David for axing that line.

[hopalongcassidy]

Its actually pretty incredible to see David Fincher with a pen and paper editting Aaron Sorkin's work. There is maybe a couple other directors alive that can do this.

[trangleproductions]

45:35 Andrew Garfield calls Justin Timberlake -- who plays Sean Parker -- Sean in the interview, but names everyone else correctly.

[zdubdub]

Notice how Andrew Garfield still speaks in Eduardo's accent in between takes just to stay that much more in character

[leostar]

Every film needs a making of like this.

[ginters]

I am rewatching a documentary about a movie which i have seen a couple of times. Just goes to show how good it is.. or just shows that i have no life.

This Video make me appreciate Jesse Eisenberg as an actor even more. Intelligent and polite guy.
