"I've seen that... the power of the individual who believes they're enlightened, and they're actually a narcissist And... It's scary" So true. People who are sipping on their own flavor-aid way too much!
Thank you for posting this. Great questions from Kevin which is no surprise he's a filmmaker. Especially the question if the finished product was the same as the one in conception. Cage shares lots of personal stuff here its wonderful to compare it to other interviews.
The scene were they portrait the influence of drugs, has to be the most accurate one. One of my friends wasn’t sure if we gave him any drugs before watching it, completely surreal.
He is way better then actor like Keanu Reeves , the difference is Cage is good but over the top and on the other hand Keanu is bad but subtle Keanu was on the verge of becoming a Internet meme some where around 2010, he was fortunate to get John Wick movie iin 2014 which saved him from becoming a Internet meme for the rest of his life.
Anybody have any idea what would be a reasonable offer to possibly persuade RWK to do a Part 3 hockey masks equivalent of Sean Clark's video in which Tommy Lee Wallace recreates the process of making the Michael Myers mask?
one of the best movies ever made. i sound trite, but i really feel this way. I was completely lost in this incredible, beautiful world and didn't want to leave. that ending matte painting was the perfect finish. Unbelievable.
You put it perfectly "lost in this incredible, beautiful world". After seeing this film for the first time, I immediately googled Shadow Mountains because I wanted to believe that such world existed. And the Reagan speech, for real! Red was such a nice guy, he lived an honest, hard working and violence free life ( and ended up being a gang/fucked up cult victim ), but he wouldn´t put up with those evangelical speeches.
Fk you Kevin Smith. You don't tell people to applause dipshit. They will applause if they think it deserves it not cos you order them too. Get your head out your ass. The amount of times you said come on give it up a round of applause here and there.

Panos talks about creating films the same way Harmony Korine does... combining thoughts, images, sounds, colors into scenes and finding the narrative around those things.
Here's some WILD HINTS to help you DECODE MANDY: If you want to understand the wild ending, theres a couple "magical realism" books from the 1980s you should read. I'll give you a clue about one important but obscure novel in particular: MARK TWAIN, 1986. (Need more? Look at the number on Red (Nic Cage)'s favorite T-Shirt!) The book referenced reveals a LOT about what's really going on in "MANDY" and where Red is at the end of the story. ALSO: the villain's full name JEREMIAH SAND is a secret anagram that explains a lot of the film's backstory and religious themes, especially in connection with the evil cult. ("JEREMIAH SAND" = "HE IS _________." It's creepy when you get it! Want one more clue to understanding "Mandy"? Consider this -- "MANDY" is actually supposed to be short for "MARY MAGDALENE." And "Crystal Lake" is also a reference to the "crystal waters" of the SEA OF GALILEE (really a lake) where Mary Magdalene went fishing w/ Jesus (as Red and Mandy do in the movie) and later lived next to after the Resurrection. Don't believe me? Check out all the biblical reference and direct quotes that the movie uses in connection w/ Mary Magdalene. And BTW -- If you take the letters M-A-N-D-Y out of her name, in fact, the remaining letters spell "MALE RAGE." Oh, and Did you catch the sketch by Mandy that was included at the end of the movie after the credits? If so, this Mary Magdalene representation sketch might look familiar: in.pinterest.com/pin/421508846371556607/
Hey why didn’t the cult just kill Nic Cage? I get they left him there thinking he would die but you literally just burned a woman in a sleeping bag just finish her boyfriend. It’s really my only problem with the movie.
They're arrogant and narcissistic. They wanted him to suffer and die slowly knowing the love of his life was just burned alive. They stabbed him with the cursed blade, but who knows what effect if any it actually has. They probably just "assumed" their whole plan to make him bleed to death would work. It's all just Sand's narcissism and arrogance that comes back to bite him.
I saw Friday the 13th pt.3 3-D when it was new (1983) ,i liked it then and still do, it's like one of those bad-good films you don't know why you like ,but you do, especially as the years go by, it seems to be get better. From the strangely out of place theme intro music ( new-wave-disco-ish electro-synth ? ) , and the crystal clear look of the film, not like the previous films grainy-ish look, and the first hockey masked Jason, and of of course the the 3-D ,and the odd choice of things to hilight this effect ( a baseball bat, a yo-yo, juggling, ect..) . I wonder why Dana Kimmell, Catherine Parks, and other cast members weren't in the the documentary, or on stage? I would hope they're not ashamed of the film, it's a cult classic now, and they were all really good in it. Great memories of that time. Bob.G
@@dimebagdarrell2390 Bless her heart , i'd hate it too if i over-acted like that haha. I mean that all in fun. Love the film to bits and got nothing but respect
