This channel is for people in need of a helpful nudge out of a writer's block, or for providing inspiring material for your next short film or to garner a deeper appreciation of a movie you already loved or never even heard of.
Our main purpose is to explain why these movies leave such a lasting mark and how as a writer, filmmaker, game developer, etc., we can incorporate these lessons in our own creative work. Or even to help someone come to a personal realization with a movie.
I've only just caught up with this video but I am so glad to see that you interpreted 2001 the way I did, aged 8, when I saw it at the the cinema. As a child the stargate sequence terrified me (as if I even understood what I was watching!). The choral music, the overwhelming light-show and Bowman's obvious (?) distress frightened me out of my wits but kept me mesmerised. Let's not even mention the aging and Star-Child transformation. As I grew older I read the novel, rewatched the movie, and came to love 2001 for the incredible film that it was. I'm 62 now but still re-read and re-watch it and it never fails to move me. I'd hate to think I'll never be as enthralled again by a book or movie as I was by 2001 but times getting short.
Screened, two days ago I watched a film that got international release this weekend. I am talking about The Substance, another staple addition to the body horror genre. Is it possible that you can make a video essay on that film? Because from the comments by the critics and fans alike it is just so good. In fact, I may dare to say that after watching The Substance the film itself is a thematic and spiritual successor of sorts to Cronenberg's The Fly, but that's just my two cents on the subject.
At first, I was scared to even watch this movie because as a man, I am sensitive to the emotional manipulation girls can use on us men. But then I slowly opened up to the perspective of Summer, the girl in the movie, that she doesn't seek a long term relationship and just wanted to have fun at that moment. I could then see her tiredness in dealing with Tom's disapproval and emotional outburst near then end of their relationship. And thanks to that, I think now I can just appreciate relationships as they are in the present, not wanting any long term commitment or such, but it's just nice to have someone accompany you and enjoy your company. If possible, I would love to have a similar movie, but with the gender and the role reversed, with the man as Summer, and the woman as Tom.
the quote at 3:38 is not exactly accurate cause the shorter sword (wakizashi) was not used to commit seppuku, that was done with a tanto (that looks a lot more like a knife). wakizashi was useful for more close quarter combat, and when inside castles you usualy couldn´t take your long sword, but you could bring your wakizashi with you.
Just finished watching this movie. My takings are a woman always wants her things to remain neat no matter what. And on the man's side behaviour is a vital thing to lead a family, recklessness is a big no no for a woman and last but the least every woman wants her man to have a good clean job. A man needs to man up at any cost otherwise one way or another things are going to go south down the road.
video games seem to have a far more open medium then movies take a look at the remake of dead space and cosmic horror in that game is quite interesting.
I was hoping there would be a hidden gem in this list but nope. I’ve already seen all of these movies. Great choices but I’m just disappointed because it’s always fun to discover something new, something great. I guess my search continues…
The best example of neo-noir is Body Heat. Director Lawrence Kasdan said it was inspired by the highly recognized film noir Double Indemnity. The plot for the first half of Body Heat is very similar to the plot of Double Indemnity. A man of questionable ethics is convinced to kill the husband of a woman he thinks he is in love with. The second half of Body Heat is very different from that of Double Indemnity, and of course the femme fatale of Body Heat survives. But the ending of the film Double Indemnity is very different from how the work ends in the novel, too .
Getter robo does cosmico horror incredibly well, making mankind fight Against an alien race capable of perctly mimicing other species that we don t understand, exploring the side of the unknown space with a sentient energy that affectes evolution, wich clearly is beyond our understanding. The manga is straight up exisential crysis
There's notting point on love. It's an ill, a flu, and the only cure are marriage. a "reasonable couple plan" its a safe form of love, more coward, more empty. Just a escape of loneyness
Your introduction nailed it. Many people just stick to the Netflix movies, that have (in my opinion) scarely a soul and don't know what they want to be.
Annihilation is the perfect example of cosmic horror. It raises more questions than answers and at the end of the movie, we still don’t really know about what the Shimmer really was. No scientific explanation is given because it is beyond human understanding. And as an audience, we accept it.
I loved the beginning of SMILE, thinking it was going to be about the trauma the psychologist would have to endure after seeing her patient commit suicide. As soon as they made it a curse and supernatural, I was sorely disappointed.
I really dont understand why people like these films so much, none of these left any impact at all, and i was never scared in any of them while watching
Its well written, not many stories are as consistent and coherent as aot. Isayama planned out the main plot points and innovated from there. And it clearly shows, especially when it comes to foreshadowing. Great animation and artwork also helps the adaptation greatly.
