Wow. This was SO good, especially enjoyed your thoughts at the end. I love it when details are pointed out about my favorite movies that I never thought of even when I've watched the movie multiple times, like with this one. And the clips from the Nolan interview were fascinating, thank you for those. Liked and subbed, looking forward to more of your work.
Nice. Made me think being human is about accepting our mortality and limitations. Roy accepts his mortality and fate and becomes human. Extending ones life through preternatural means has always been considered kinda evil. Think vampirism, Lucifereanism, transhumanism and alchemy which was also just a metaphor for eternal life
which song/music has been used for "the place beyond the pines" in the video the slow music with the smooth guitar please if anyone knows could they let me know thank you.
It's named after me !and I'm a big musical fan. It shows his talent. It blew me away his jazz piano... thought it was dub bed!! Amazing! My only problem i. Other than acting, their perrformances are ver high school. The opening scene and others singers make them look average. What ya gotta do is watch old MGM movies with Gene kelly singing in the rain etc. Als9 wonderland or white Christmas with Danny kaye and Vera ellen. The dancing is beyond. Like on broadway. I know their not professional simgers and dancers and their acting carrys the film ...its just you know all the talent out there and they are good but not amazingly . But like i say, chemistry and acting are amazing. I wasnt happy w ending. Unlike most upbeat musicals. It was sad. Is there another ending. Ryans been compared to our son whos been a mini star in Phillipines. Hes very talented and writes his own music etc. He can act. So im a little obsessed right now w Ryan. I think in another universe my son would take his place. He's a bit more hansome !,,not my words But yeah, Ryan is an amazing talent
I’d say that Tenet implements Memento’s concepts within the world of the film, so the characters actually are faced with the time manipulation. Whereas in Memento it’s almost purely an experience for the audience.
I'll add that to my watchlist. If I had more time I would have talked about how many films and tv shows feature this song, it's actually really interesting.
I've had the cd soundtrack even longer than I've had the dvd, so the dialogue in that scene is kind of etched in my brain. Both the film and soundtrack impacted me. Having said that, Alice in the Cities is perhaps my favourite Wim Wenders film.
I just realized he knew at the end of shutter island. I was always under the impression that he was too far gone and the plan didn’t work…..but he knew, he would have rather died a hero in his mind then the man who went through all that pain and suffering. That’s heavy
Ownership of another person is a really really weird concept. Any person defending Amy instead of saying she should’ve just LEFT Nick is someone who believes that fundamentally, you own your partner. Lotta weird chicks in this comment section.
Great video, sir. Teddy's death never felt so tragic, the fact it seemed like such a pragmatic thing for Leonard to do at the time is a pretty damning commentary on insurance adjusters' serial-killer like morality
Amy honestly displays the perfect revenge. As a woman a lot of the emotional labor falls on us and I know a lot of unhappy married women married to men who look at other women and hit on other women. I definitely think women can be horrible to their partners as well. I would say her character is the “she’s me” version of Patrick Bateman for men.
If you could create a character to represent the 2 main political parties in US politics. Anton is the embodiment of the modern Democrat party. #LETSGOBRANDON
After being in a cinematic desert myself for some time in the figurative sense due to circumstances . I remember seeing this film the first time, and it blew me away. I found it totally absorbing, a gripping masterpiece, that had me invested in each of the characters. When it finished I wished it had gone longer. Javier Bardem is brilliant in this film. Surprised there hasn't been a sequel done.
To be honest I did not like Blue Valentine or The Place Beyond the Pines when I first watched them. It was only after revisiting them over time that I grew to really appreciate them.
I gotta watch the behind the scenes on shutter island everyone has a different experience for that movie I took it as a man who was and is a detective who’s wife was murdered and he was struggling with the lose because she also took his child, however long later he was investigating the disappearance of a women who had been framed with the same story who he was basically emotionally connected to through experience and he met her in the cave while he was also being “turned crazy” just like the framed women who was once a nurse there by substances and psychology tricks. At the end he was referring to his “partner” that he was a a monster and himself is dying as a good man but I guess that’s the point of the movie is to have several perspectives and sticks with you for years wondering what it’s supposed to mean.
Because if he was stuck on shutter island he would know that he was being drugged already and he would know the cave nurse chick already he would have already had headaches ect these things come upon him entering the island and if he had been there it doesn’t say how he escaped and began running around the the island and it doesn’t explain the investigation with the women who his “partner” got the glass of water for, To right everything off as a delusion is delusional lol I have strong opinion on that movie because me and my sister have complete opposite ideas of what really happened
I haven't heard that perspective before. There's definitely an argument for it and, like you said, the film doesn't provide a definitive answer so there can be many perspectives. It's always interesting hearing other takes. I might end up making a dedicated video on Shutter Island because it gets better every time I watch it.
The on-screen text at 17:47 contradicts the voice over when the latter refers to 'the fourth and final level,' instead identifying it as 'Level 3,' while also stipulating, parenthetically, '(there is no 4).' But is that really correct? Might not the voice narration have it right? Wouldn't the view from inside Jane's booth, covered shortly before this, constitute another distinct level (even if it wasn't explicitly identified as such)? I don't see why it wouldn't.
15:21 "who she took advantage of for his wealth and unwavering affection" Some choices of words and explanations that are used in this video take me out a bit, and I couldn't pinpoint exactly what or each of every one of those cases, but here I found sth. IMO, Desi didn't have "unwavering affection" for Amy, he also saw whatever he wanted to see, and kept a fake fantasy of the idea he had of Amy, I can't say he truly cared about her, and quite the contrary, in some way Desi objectified her a bit (like the scene where she's looking completely beaten up, and he brings new stuff to make her look "pretty" again, bc, like I said, he mostly cares about the illusion he has of her, or the scene where she's serving him breakfast and he creepily checks out her rear)
As you can tell, I have moved away from using Owen Wilson as a talking head. It originated from my first video on Anaconda, which I have made private. Just thought I would clear up any confusion there.
