This film is one of those introspective, delicate visions of the most hidden emotional part of human beings. Revealing their true self is hard and the nouvelle vague of the 60s in France and Italy, Hong Kong of the 90s and the Korean wave of these kind of indie films, are the ones i love. Story, acting, art, lingering feelings, reflection of oneself, small humans in a big big universe. Very existential i would say. That's why i love this kind of movies and these actors were right for their roles in this film.
@9:42 - it's partially on point but there are plenty of multi-millionaires and billionaires who support "left wing" politicians and 'progressive' causes, think tanks, non-profit foundations, etc.
"Everyone is equal but me first" "-because if i dont cover my own ass its not like someone would give up their own for me" Is the root of the issue, selfish people create more selfish people, because to be a giver surrounded by selfish people is giving yourself to the wolves
It also shows different race representation as east asians have a side representation and Filipinos as a dirt cleaner, however, it also shows that Filipinos can thrive whatever the situation is.
I have meet some people from the upper upper class and you’d be surprised how accurate the film portraits some of them. Recently a girl I know bragged about how she and her friends tipped the luggage man at a fancy hotel eight coffee beans after making his job as hard as possible and laughing about it during and after the fact. It’s wild, but it also seems like this kind of entitlement opens the doors to easy money. They regularly loan and gift each other money at tiny interest and as taxable expense. I litteraly saw a woman that felt insecure for an investor meeting annoy the investor so much he remotely bought her 200€ shoes. She had broken the shows two weeks after she got them. It is complete insanity.
Excellent insights. I wonder if “Blow Up” even refers to the photographs… Antonioni was too philosophical to have such a straightforward, conventional title, I think. Perhaps what is “blown up“ is our perception of the dividing line between art fantasy and reality. Seems like all the characters have issues discerning the difference in this film. Perhaps the Director’s whole point is the audience does, as well.
One Impression in the end of the Movie made me to like it finally. The fact, as it occured to me at least, that even Abigail is not a good person, let alone a 'Saint'. So there is some Equality there. 😉😎
I thought the staff meeting with the ship crew was interesting. It’s the same model capitalism uses to keep poor people working. Trickle down economics. If you work hard for me for long enough maybe you will get a tip. Of course this is a lie and like I said it’s to brain wash poor people to be subservient and working forever
The Beggers ask if christian can help them and sometimes when he says no most of the time actually, he finds himself in situations asking for help right after declining the beggars
Your description of this film came up while I was looking for a review of of another film, called secret sunshine, but now ive heard this im going to have to watch Burning 🔥, it sounds great, thank you.
I was relieved when JS called her out for taking her clothes off because finally someone showed they have some boundaries of what they can tolerate. JS and Hae-mi are both using each other, there's no actual love there. They are both using each other for validation.
Yes & No. I hear the cries of the forgotten at the same I’m witnessing pepetrartors voices being uplifted by the masses more than actual victims. This is not sustainable for a healthy society.
Beautifully expressed! Delighted to have found your post on Reddit, and now your YT channel. I'm still haunted by the myriad of stories surrounding that time period in Eire, as well as my five years living along the west coast of Ireland, just across the water from the Aran Islands. This film evoked much in me after being exposed to "the old ways" of life in Ireland, as the Irish explained to me, and I was deeply grateful for this film that allowed me to revisit my experience there. Your presentation and interpretation has joyfully deepened the concepts presented in the film and I thank you. I'll be re-watching and pondering this. 🔥❤🔥
After watching this video and seeing all the details I failed to spot when watching the film, I see Haneke as close to Kubrick. That's never occured to me before.
This is an incredibly thoughtful and brilliant look a Haneke masterpiece, and your remarks about the final scene were really nuanced and poignant. Keep up the the high quality vids bro.
