The Magic of the Movies: Behind the Scenes of David Fincher's Mank

This movie is so boring! It's not a good Fincher movie. Even masters sometimes make mistakes.

yes that dinner table scene is amazing... and Amanda Seyfried is really glowing and is the brightest in that room and I loved it!
...and the idea of playing and recording the audio in a cinema... AMAZING!

Was I only one shocked to hear Lily Collins not speak with an English accent?

Great video thanks for posting this

lmao who is this 1 person that unlike this video? I wonder what his expectations were?

Very smart of Fincher to shoot on Digitial. Such an insult to period films!

why is there no actual BTS footage?

Those colour stills! Wow...it looks so much more interesting than the b/w finished product! The b/w + Fincher shooting style did not work for me. Very alienating. The colour may have been less distracting and drawn me in little more.

Fincher should make better movies.

The film deserves more attention than it gets right now at the time! What a great film!👍👍👍

Is 7 watches too many?

PROMOTE DA 5 BLOODS, YOU COWARDS!!!

Still not sure about that theater reverb.

"The magic of the movies"/"Movie magic" are such whimsical phrases that kinda died out in the 21st century and I wish would make a comeback.

I don’t know why people said this was boring I found it so entertaining

I hope we get to see Gary oldman work with David Fincher again. The casting for this movie was phenomenal.

Hmmm a video about the making of a movie that is about the making a movie

So I’m a huge Fincher fan. Incredible attention to detail, meticulous, cinematic. But Mank.....yet another movie about an alcoholic writer. 🤮 Hollywood: Enough already. Please stop. You know who likes movies about Hollywood & drunk writers? Hollywood, movie critics and actors who love to play drunk writers because they think they are witty and clever and tragic. But in fact they are boorish, obnoxious and dull, as this film clearly demonstrates. I read Fincher stopped making the fantastic Netflix series Mindhunter to make this bland homage to Citizen Kane. What a waste of everyone’s time and talent. And my time. Two hours I’ll never get back.

This was a severely underappreciated movie lost in generational apathy. If you love Citizen Kane and cinema from this era, a must watch!

For a film that I gave a rating of 3/5, this was a great behind the scenes video.

Absolutely hate the way the black and white is processed in this, its asif they shot in colour and just turned everything to black nd white later. it would've been 10times better if it was in colour

Perfect Videography,finally?!?!?!?!

This should win the Oscar for Cinematography, Direction and Acting!

There are no accidents in a Fincher movie. Everything is controlled & on purpose down to the last pixel.

A behind the scenes featurette without any behind the scenes scenes...

Where is the الترجمة

this is great, but what would be amazing is if at some point Netflix would start adding commentaries as a second audio choice (maybe they did, I didn't catch any, only other languages)... Fincher has made an audio commentary for dvd/bluray releases of all his movies, but now since this one is streaming, I doubt there'll be any... I think a lot of people interested in this would love an audio commentary as well, and if you can switch between language audio tracks it's really a matter of good will... I'd personally love to see that, and would hate it if the tradition stopped because movies are going to streaming, it can definitely be done, it's only a matter of whether the director and Netflix want to make it happen

The guy who played Orson Welles was so accurate. I'm scared.

This is very inspiring!

The key of this film was casting Gary Oldman and the rest of the cast nevertheless, Gary is the centre of the plot movie because he's the protagonist, so he didn't disappoint me at all. On the other hand, I still don't get why David Fincher hasn't won any Oscar yet but, let's be honest, the Oscars are disgraceful, even more now that I knew the Oscars's ceremony of this year was quite criticized. As I didn't see it, I'm wondering; what went wrong?

This movie would have been better with colors 😩

The problem was this was at THE ZENITH of Fedoras, and not one is being worn, that and the artificial film grain looked rather ridiculous.

Like Zodiac this is a movie that in 10 years will be hailed as an utter masterpiece.

only seen a clip of this but i love the way it looks like an old movie

Some directors' movies make it look so easy...

Fincher's movies make filmmaking look incredibly difficult. 🤣

I really wise fincher won best director

I wrote Mank. It's about me.

So well done !!!!!👏

Is the main format b&w film? Love the dynamic!

I enjoy this movie

When is there gonna be a criterion collection release for this movie

I love David finchers movies. But this one was a tough watch for me. Objectively speaking, it’s a good movie - and I can see why someone else would like it.
But for me, It was uneventful, not necessarily a great story to tell, and I didn’t care about any of the characters. I found his secretary to be the only compelling character.
And I usually love Trent and Atticus when they do Finchers scores, but I really didn’t like their take on black and white era film scores.

I think I would have liked this better if he had not tried to make this movie feel like a 1930s movie.

But that’s just me.

It’s been 3 years, and I’m still not over the fact Fincher did not win best director and that his Pops did not win best original screenplay. That was an absolutely unique opportunity to reward a situation that may never happen again.

Fantastic film and awesome cinematography

Gorgeous film.
