I agree with EVERY WORD of your first 3 minutes analysis. Season 1 was BRILLIANT. In fact I've watched it 6 times now ... How did it all go so wrong???? It's tragic ...
Maev letting go was the original idea for her to be free. But then she learns that she was programmed to wake up, recruit, lie, and leave the daughter. So, choosing to save the daughter was her breaking free.. UNless that was also her code:P UNlike the others, she didn't wake up over time. She woke up during a high stress event. Then put to sleep. I believe Ford coded her to wake up once again.
Its like every show they feel they have to go big and expand. They should focused on west world, roman world and shogun world. Imagine game of throned but in rome. Maybe do an anthology series. 1 season in each world. Then merge them or something. Season 3 and 4 was just a different show. Would of been a fine spin off. but They didn't realise why we liked the show. Also the biggest issue I have.,... IS the end credits of season 2... Like wtf.. emily is back? its in the future? Dude they lose the plot.
Well done 😊 I’d only add I think in Bert’s tiny smile there is pride as he watches Don come into his own and fulfill some of the potential Bert saw in him…note that from this moment Bert lets Don take the lead in this conversation and on USUALLY everything moving forward in the company
I liked this video as well as the show. The breakdown was put together well. The only thing that would have made this video better would have been to play the scene in its entirety and THEN give analysis. That way we could have “soaked it all in” and truly appreciated the scene before enjoying the deconstruction.
I'm still convinced the show's a bit overrated tbh. A lot of it just seems so contrived to me. Without all the flair and style that people appreciate so much, the actual substance of the plot isn't all that complex or engaging. Maybe the cinemotography is great - I dunno. I'm not the type who can really appreciate inspired visuals. Dense, engaging and stimulating plot is what pulls me into a piece of fictional media, and I always found Mad Men to be a bit lacking - at least relative to how people talk about the show. I mean what actually happens here? The company's getting bought, the characters that the audience is invested in go their own way and buy the company themselves - perfect way to set up some new drama for the next season as they try to run the firm on their own or whatever. The only "aha!" is that the CFO can fire people, which somehow means they can get away with this? I dunno, I don't get why that's so special.
"This is the perfect scene. Let me talk over it, stop it every few seconds so you can't listen to it, get the flow of it, or enjoy it." Finally gave up...
This isn't one of those channels that just reposts clips of shows - she's trying to do an analysis guys. You're in the wrong lane for making that comment. It would be easy enough to just look up this scene or actually watch the show if that's what you want.
@@SquareNoggin Yeah, but should I have to? You tell me it's a great scene, however I never get to watch it unfold without interruptions. It is possible to show a scene, then analyze it. Yeah, I'm out of my lane, I agree, but perhaps a better title would have been Mad Men: One Perfect Scene Analyzed
The whole show is frighteningly brilliant. What a gift it is to watch it a second time, a third time, and notice all these brilliantly positioned foreshadows and details. And this episode was so deeply satisfying. When Joan walks in to organise everything is just such an electrifying moment.
Ok. You just sold me. I have to watch this series now. A video like this caught me up into Game of Thrones, and this one just got me for this. Great scene. Fantastic telling, the story of it, and I'm of to go watch another great show. Thank you for the great video.
An awesome analysis! I can confirm since I had the pleasure of interviewing Malcolm on the 50th anniversary of a Clockwork Orange. We talked a lot about the things you mentioned especially the design, violence and the aftermath. It was fascinating to learn about the context in which Kubrick made this film, especially since funding for his passion project Napoleon fell through during this time. It gave him a sense of nothing to lose, so he went for it. Search Malcolm McDowell Ojai podcast for the full conversation.
Now American's are sculpted around Hollywood.......Gays & Lesbian's in the bathroom & our school rooms.......Even the poor Boy Scouts are being thrown under the toilet........ That's when you stop having children.......They dont have antciptic toungs...... What the hell is going on here People.......
Lucky is worth 24mil. Lane said they need another third for cash flow. How does that equate to 12mil, per your repeated narration? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QtJMYyMy2Rg.html
One detail I thought was brilliant and terrible at the same time, the line "a corpse knocking against their hull" referring to Layne. Prophetic considering his ultimate fate.
