I explain my thoughts on different films meaning. Keep in mind that I don’t treat my thoughts on a film as scripture and I’m open to any discussion. The film explanations are more to open an dialogue on the film then to be some type of absolute of all encompassing interpretation. I also encourage you to delve deeper into the film as I typically only talk about one core theme. The "critic" part of my name is a joke. Im just a dude who talks about movies on the internet.
Yeah, what made me realize that the ending scene was another delusion was how the comedy special announcer kept repeating the same lines over and over and how the crowd was reacting (especially the random bit of laughter for no reason). The music added to the surreal nature of it too.
The Father was a selfish prick. His kids are clearly grieving their mother and openly tell him they don’t accept his wife-to-be, and he is completely apathetic to their feelings and needs. He could have at least give them a year to grieve.
My good sir, I've seen good analysis in my life, but like this one, never. No blablabla, straight to the point but with important information. People are usually either too wordy and long without a good ending explanation, or just lazy and generic when they explain movies. But not you! Thank you so much! I never subscribe to channels, but yours, I'll have to do it!!! Thank you so much and keep up the good work! You're excellent! Best Film critic ever!
In my opinion i think the ending sums it up pretty well, its an infinite loop, he wakes up, he makes all the same decisions, then he wakes up again, and again, and again..
I thought Joaquin Phoenix never made a bad movie. Well, I was wrong. We sat through this movie suffering much like Joe...only we didn't get paid for doing it. No real talking, never got to know the characters, or his back story
I thought he was seeing himself in his young age.. and now he is a ghost.. or smth like that.. I cant figure it out.. But i see a meaning of FORGIVENESS for parents to ease the pain, ur pain and their pain.. The meaning of love and forgiveness for people, cause life is so temporary.. and the mental health is so important❤ This movie is a masterpiece and I would love to hear the explanation from creators.
I like id, ego and superego theory. Lancaster Dodd wife Peggy is EGO because she exercises control and influence over both Freddie and Lancaster, acting as a stabilizing force within the movement and maintaining its public image.
Why the three men? Do they symbolize something? I thought may be three things that made him lose her and their child: 1 the man she cheated him with. 2. Her mother. 3. her being unhappy all the time? Not sure about that last one... Maybe his weakness?
