  • @andrewa9700
    The Snyder cut of this interview is probably 35 minutes
  • @caskinfg
    "Why is there so much slow-mo, Zack?" "Because slow-mo is awesome" is the most Zack Snyder answer he could have possibly given
  • @Syryu
    12:26 I'm amazed after everything he went through with WB Executives he'd be so gracious answering the studio executive question.
  • @TheCanadian0495
    I don’t love most of his movies, but he seems like a very down to earth guy who knows what he wants and just goes for it. I have to respect that
  • @thatsmyboye
    "There used to be a thing called DVDs" ah geez
  • @jopo7996
    I can't wait for Zach's 2 hour director's cut of this interview. Shirtless, with spray painted abs, in black and white, and lots of slow motion.
  • @edelbrock443
    As a filmmaker, this guy just answered the questions I was asking my college teachers for years.
  • Love or hate his movies, Zack seems like a genuinely nice, passionate and hardworking filmmaker. He has an energy about him that I can't help but admire.
  • @Savaart1
    Good or bad director... the man is confident about his job I respect that ^^
  • @DBringmann
    ok so slo-mo focus on heroic moments in action scenes, but there is a guy filling his water bottle and the scene is in slowmotion...wtf??
  • @mrnazaire407
    The fact that he said he didn’t see the “other” version of Justice League is so based
  • @Jork005
    "There used to be a thing called DVD's." Gosh I'm so old.😢
  • @MetalGamer666
    So why are there so many slow motion scenes of farming? That just makes people fall asleep.
  • @tarunsethi7816
    I have a 4:3 monitor I want to upgrade but currently using an old one. I was thrilled to watch snyder cut on my monitor. No black rectangles.
  • @makatron
    Missed the change to make him say "SloMo is awesome" also be played in SloMo.
  • @earthling_parth
    This is the first time I'm seeing what Zack Snyder actually looks like
  • Zack Snyder saying he's never seen Josstice league is both an understandably heartbreaking statement and a devastating sneak diss towards that cut of the movie.
  • @Ekhin
    I think not reading online reviews about your film is fair, like he said you could go down a deep rabbit hole and having a more controlled group watch is better
  • I submitted a question to this Q&A about a deleted scene in ZSJL. It's not featured here. I wonder if there is a SnyderCut of this interview out there...
  • @IllisiaAdams
    Slow-mo helps with the action, he says... And then slow-mo's GRAIN... IN BOTH MOVIES...
