Clint Eastwood and Stanley Kubrick's directing styles are polar opposites.

_“why? you want to waste everybody's time?”_


sounds like the 'man with no name' vibe there

" Why ..do you feel lucky..punk?"

Matt Damon starts to laugh before the interviewer can even finish his question because Matt already knows that he’s about to do his Clint Eastwood impression for the interviewer.

[methos-eynf]

The Spielberg example is my favorite because it shows why he’s such a great director. He knows what he has, knows what he needs and is happy to not let the perfect be the enemy of good enough.

[DanNowlan]

Matt Damon interviews are top-fucking-notch.

When are we gonna start giving Damon his flowers? He does not get enough credit for being a great actor and delivering top performances for over three decades now. He's had critically acclaimed works, box office hits and in several cases, both. Give the man his flowers while he can still smell them.

*laughs in Kubrick's hundreth take*

Moral of the story: done is better than perfect

[johansmallberries]

Eastwood is well known for bringing his movies in on time and on budget.

You can tell sometimes that Clint goes with the first take. I think he's more interested in telling the story than making sure every scene is perfect. You gotta look at Clint's career. He got his start doing those spaghetti westerns. They weren't real big on perfection. It was about the story. Rawhide, same. Then when he started doing big movies under big time directors he probably thought, "damn these guys waste a lot of time."

[sbarmiueenl]

It also sends a clear message to the actors that they have to come prepared and do their best take. Every. F... Time.

[junebyrne]

Damon does outstanding impressions. He has a great personality.

[Wowaniac]

that way every scene is authentic, it might not be great but it will be good

[armyguy]

That's a compliment from a Director.

[Alex_]

Every scene doesn't need to be perfect... The memorable moments benefit most.

[kalyannatarajan]

Clint Eastwood stories are always amazing ….and when Matt is telling them…….😂😂😂😂

[cooldudep]

That's cause you nailed the shots, Matt!

[yellowstone]

Damon has that Clint Eastwood impression down…
