Jake Gyllenhaal Challenges the Winner of the Nobel Peace Prize (2010)

A remixed narrative that combines two 'Jake Gyllenhaal' (qv) films (_Donnie Darko (2001)_ (qv) and _Jarhead (2005)_ (qv)) with news footage of President 'Barack Obama' (qv). As the President wins the Nobel Peace Prize, Gyllenhaal's character becomes disillusioned with Obama's increasingly pro-war rhetoric, escalation of the war in Afghanistan, and the failure to withdraw troops from Iraq.

Famous quotes by Jake Gyllenhaal:

"I'm like, 'What world am I living in?' Aren't movies made to have something to say? Why make a movie if you don't have something to say? What are you doing it for? Are you doing it because you want to make a lot of money?"

"I'm going to continue doing what I want to do. And if it means I want to go and make a big movie, if it has something to say, I will want to make it. I don't want to spend my life wasting my time. If it's a big movie, I want to do it. If it's a small movie, I want to do it."

"If you're going to spend seven months of your life - for me seven months, for Roland Emmerich, 3, 4, 5 years of his life - doing something, I think you have to have something to say."

"It's funny to me that people find other people getting coffee really interesting, or walking their dog in the dog park."

"As well as that, every man goes through a period of thinking they're attracted to another guy."

"I have a friend who is in Iraq right now and is doing a lot of good over there, restoring schools and helping democracy in a way. Do I agree with the administration and their intentions behind this war? I don't know; I don't think so. But I can't do anything but support wholeheartedly, and actually look up to, these soldiers in a way that I never did before I made this movie."

"If it does shed light on the idea that there's real love involved ... it's great. When two people love each other, they love each other. And people should hold on to it as hard as they can, whether it's homosexual or heterosexual."

"I promise that, one day, everything's going to be better for you."

"If, for some reason, you could... wanna be with me heart and soul, I'll be waiting for you at 5pm outside Chunky Cheese - The Good Girl"

"We were talking about the kissing in the movie just recently. Clearly, it's pretty challenging material, but Ang said two men herding sheep was far more sexual than two men having sex on screen."

"Even as an actor, I think like a storyteller. My parents raised us to look at the script."

"Crazy people don't sit around wondering if they're nuts."

"I grew up in a family where many of our close friends were gay couples. As well as that, every man goes through a period of thinking they're attracted to another guy."

"Chris Cooper once told me to never have any regrets. After Chris said that to me, I walk into every scene thinking, 'exhaust every possibility.' Once you get to a certain place, it's like you just deliver everything you've got. Don't have any regrets. It pops up in my mind over and over and over again."

"Don't listen to what anybody says except the people who encourage you. If it's what you want to do and it's within yourself, then keep going and try to do it for the rest of your life."

"Every man goes through a period of thinking they're attracted to another guy."

"The best thing that I got was rehearsing with my father. It was always about the process of figuring things out, and trying something new, and having another take on something and keeping it alive."
