9 - Nostalgia Critic 

It’s a great film.

Can you Review The Banana Splits Movie and Willy's Wonderland

Can you a review of Peter Pan (2003) or The Shadow (1994)?

I loved 9 it was amazing film its so good and creepy

credit if you think this movie is deep now you should check out the theorizer video about this movie. he goes into more details and when this movie came out it had a. Facebook account where it regularly updated and explained more of the movie. where you can actually talk to the scientist who created the machine and created the rag dolls. but unfortunately the Facebook account has gotten silent for a couple of years but you can still go back and read the post.

I love how 6's fingers are tips of ink pens and he draws with them.

@@mimicmey Yep! He also has differently-shaped eyes, adding to his manic appearance.

That is so so sweet

The biggest comment I have ever seen

@@schmidlinkids4832 Eh, I've typed bigger :P

This is genius

That, and how it was released 9/9/09.

Amazing.

Damn, it sounds like this movie had a DEEP and compelling theme about one's own battle between their brain and their heart; a conflict between mind and soul, between logic and compassion

That reminds me of that one Adventure Time episode where BMO had to save the other MOs from AMO. He learned fromt he other robots that even though he didnt share the same highly developed intellignce of the others, he was the only robot with some semblance of an imagination and ability to think for hisself, which saved the othrers.

🤯🤯🤯🤯

So it's a post-Metropolis movie

@@BetamaxFlippy you could almost say 9 is the heart that reunites brain and hands

I really didn’t mind the lack of humor I loved everything about this movie from the story to the imagery and one’s sacrifice at the end nearly brought a tear to my eye “Sometimes 1 must be sacrificed for the good of the many” T-T

@@hunterwaguespack3963 I liked the drab, gloom and doom apocalypse visuals it had going. It helps with establishing the horror of basically everything except the 9 stitchpunks being dead.

It would have been interesting if the Seamstress succeeded and then became human like, and that was the end twist, rather than how it ended with "We're screwed, but we'll keep on trying and looking to the future! The end!"

@@TheGoldenDunsparce Agreed. Having all the Heros "fail" only to find that in all 9 of there deaths causes the last humanity to die but also for the machine to gain full sapient and remake the world a new. That'd be a pretty cool/unique ending in my opinion.

Mean, yeah, the very plot was that the guy that created it said it wasn't ready yet and the totalitarian government being "pish posh kill my enemies now!" at a stage when it was most impressionable. The guy created the first artificial intelligence and it learned from the wrong people how to people. I like the idea was trying to absorb them so it could be a full person and person.

Sometimes, for the greater good, One must be sacrificed.

Which is why it’s weird when he says he let 2 die for the reason of being too old.

@@tristanmccann6838 i like to think of it as he was doing it more as a way to quell any possible sources of insubordinations, especially since 7 left them, taking 3 and 4 with her. 2, 5, 6 and 8 were left with 1, as they looked to someone for guidance, which was 1 at the moment. Knowing that 2 would go out and possibly learn more than he should, 1 would let him do so, knowing that he would have no problem letting any of the machines take 2, disguising it as 2 being 'old and weak', despite being the first, and therefor, oldest stitchpunk of the group. And let's be honest, 5 was too naive to go against 1, 6 was left to his ramblings, and 8 was just intimidation factor at most for 1, to enforce his rule, since the magnet scene clearly showed he wasn't all there upstairs.

He also immediately left the creator probably indicating that he was disgusted with himself and just wanted to be away from the world he'd been instrumental in creating so he could survive.

Have you noticed though that 1 may be the ONLY one of the ragdolls who displays mostly negative emotions? Like maybe he's the one to hold of all of the scientists bad traits; his ego, cowardice and self-righteousness. Those seem like the kind of negative traits all people have. With that in mind, it's all the more interesting that HE'S the only one to develop as the story went. MAYBE the subtle message is that within your soul, the only thing you should change about it is replace all your bad sides.

Yeah, and in Russian version 9 sctually has a purpose, he wants to regain his memories and find out how they all were born. They basically gave freedom to a Russian screenwriter, and he made a new story out of it

Yes, russian script has a difference. 1 - the leader of the regime 2 - assistant 3 & 4 - his kids 5 - doctor 6 - the engineer who started the infernal machine 7 - his wife 8 - leader's bodyguard 9 - the scientist

And thats why it makes sense for 3, 4, 7 and 9 to be the only ones that live.

Yes. And the russian version in garbage because of it.

Thank you! I watched the movie in Russian, so when I heard the critics' explanation that the dolls were all different parts of the scientist's personality I thought "This is not how I remember it. Weren't those dolls different people?" I was so confused and thought I imagined it. Thank you for the explanation.

Well he does address that and basically says that's a great concept but it doesn't do anything to make the characters engaging.

@@oxtheunlikelycontemplator2682 Yeah I agree that in term of design the Brain is pretty Matrix like and it doesn’t say to much about the character as their servants are.

I think that is the strict interpretation but I also believe there is a bit of a secondary narrative in there as well. If you notice, when the scientist is developing it it doesn't have any of the spikes on its core, its much smaller, and it seems distressed (or at least, confused) when the scientist is dragged out. This implies that the machine had the potential to be good but due to the General pulling the scientist out of the project early and forging it into a militaristic AI, it became resentful to humanity. This theme also fits with the name of the movie, which was (as I understand it) because on a scale of 1-10 no-one is perfect, so a 9 is the best you can shoot for (ie : inherent flaws of humanity) , the fact that most of Stitchpunks are lead by fear (ie : on of the inherent flaws of humanity) , and of course, if that theory is true, it would mean that humanities own hatred and drive for war was what created the thing which killed all life, which is the ultimate way of depicting, the inherent flaws of humanity. To me at least, the movie was never really one where you watched it for what it was directly, but more one where you looked at everything it represented as it has several of these small dots of evidence that all lead to different messages throughout it. (you could also make the interpretation that the Stitchpunks like 2, 7, and 9 who fought against the idea of fear being a driving factor indicate that despite the flaws of humanity being great, there would always be some portion of it which remains good.)

I started seeing it as BRAIN wanting to get the souls of the rag dolls, because he wanted to be like the professor (this can be proven when BRAIN extracts 2’s soul and after can create and rebuild more machines) and how professor admits to basing BRAIN off of his own

It was used a lot in promos

Ah yes the trailer line

As long the visuals and the characters are interesting and attention catching

Now it's all about "Family Friendly" (and also money grabbing)

I still remember how dark Disney used to be with their old films. Seriously, how many modern films reach the level of creep that films like Hunchback of Notre Dame or have those ideas like those in Snow White?

Have you seen Nobody or John Wick?

Right you are.

How many of them were there? Because it was said by friends who can't handle flashing lights that is the hypnosis scene there were a lot

I saw this movie when it came out. I was 24 then. I am 35 now. And that scene has always and will always scare the living hell out of me! You'd think seeing this move for first time as an adult and rewatching it a few times over 10 years would have desensitized me to it. Nope! Every time it's like I forget until it gets to that scene. Then I go "Oh yeah, that's where I left my nightmare fuel." Absolutely horrific.

@@LivienRochelle damn that’s scary even if u are older that’s nuts but I get it never saw that movie

It did, but because it needed to, the "toys" (dead pets and actual toys) used less energy and it's targets had changed from humans, to the ragdolls.

@@rebeccagold7964 Quite literally, but energy cuts instead of money.

True

@@simple-commentator-not-rea7345 yup

@@TetyaUtka-w8i да я бы не сказала, что сценарий прям весь поменялся.

@@blackspirit1067 Ну опыт как минимум интересный

Which is odd since in the old interactive site, he didnt a wife or kid, infact hed made each entry for the stitch punks that he made, from how they reflected his ambition or curiousity, to how he wanted to create each with a specific purpose, all while talkin about what he glimpse was happening in the world.

@@SleonHikari this exactly. if he said he understood the message of the film better, has he seen the scientist's social media accounts reporting on the progress of the stichpunks leading up to the movie?

Glad I'm not alone.

Eh, it fits.

He's not wrong

I'm glad I'm not the only one who makes the comparison!

9 looks like a humanoid versoin of sackboy

yeah seconded

It’s going to be very interesting

Just rewatched it the other day. Still holds up imo

Mood, I fear what he's gonna say

Same, but I was six unfortunately.

I was around 10 years old when I first watched this. My cousins put it on, and I couldn’t keep my eyes off the screen for the entire movie.

Fitting that this comment currently has 99 likes.

This is like if Cartoon Network aired Sausage Party.

So what LOL. When I was 9 1/2 I beat resident evil 4 by my self. When I was eight years old I rented 28 days litter and alien at the VHS place. This is a cute Tim Burton looking film not even as creepy as little nightmares that game.

Glukhovsky as in Метро 2033? Офигеть, не знала об этом вообще

Always love it when the people have the impertinence to think that they should "fix" the original author's story.

@@DarthBiomech I mean... Just as an outsider, that sounds more satisfying than the author's original work. Authors aren't perfect- and I'm speaking as one

@@gokuxsephiroth4505 I agree. That sound way more interesting.

Idk, maybe for children ages 10 and up.

This scared the fuck outta me and my mom

I remember liking it as a little kid. Though my dad definitely lightened the mood by joking a lot of the way through, like when he questioned why that scientist guy was one ninth female.

@@coranbaker6401 ..that is a fair question

@@XZ-III Or maybe different people find different things scary? Like the flying monkeys from Wizard of Oz.

Well maybe not humanity, life evolving the exact same way is unlikely, but perhaps some form of sentient life will eventually emerge. They might be very different than humans, who knows?

@@BlueAmpharos actually it fits in the narrative of the film that implies it is to restore humanity, as that's specifically what the doctor/creator built the dolls for in the first place.

I couldn't agree more I've never heard people talk about it and deserves more attention

I also agree

All I know was the “welcome home” by coheed and cambria in the tv spots

Also, the trailer was wicked!

What was the plot like?

@@blackout295 Well, according to the creators, the main reason was that in Russia there was Orthodox Christianity, and the concept of the soul between Catholics and them differs. "the soul was treated dryly there." We also love internal monologues and a voiceover that explains everything. And if in short they changed, changed the message with the soul, gave names to the dolls and the fact that they represent a person from the past of the scientist, there was a lot of voice-over, reflections of the ninth. And just by the way, the creator of the game Metro 2033 worked on the adaptation to Russian.

@@bakomz this is all very interesting, especially the part about Metro's author's involvement

@@blackout295 I'm just retelling the Russian-language youtuber "kultas", it's similar to "Saberspark"in content.

@@bakomz nah, Kultas is a russian YongYea

Man the first trailer I watched was intense. I loved the music and the visuals.

Same scared the shit out of me... loved it so much though

Similar experience with coraline on my 13th birthday yeah not a fun time

It was the seamstress, wasn’t it? The doll face...that screech...those needles...😨

@@robbieking4070 weirdly nah I could handle that it was the eyes that unsettled me if I can't see eye emotion I get nervous.

I envy you...seeing that as an adult is so different.

What about the other?

@@damianpembrook555 Other what?

I actually saw another reviewer say that they wished 9 had never gotten a voice box but rather stayed silent throughout the whole movie to further represent the idea that he is action rather than words, and I agree. I think that would have been interesting!

Oh yeah! That's right!

I'm not sure I agree. 7 and 8 are very much action-focused individuals, with 8 being almost mute through most of the film, as the dumb muscle. Furthermore, when the others are determined to take action and destroy the Machine, it's 9 who goes back to the Scientist's house to learn more about who they are and where they come from. I think it's more elegant to say that 9 represents to see from and shift between multiple perspectives. While the others see things through the lens of their own rigid personality traits, 9 can see the value in each of them, and thus can more effectively bring them together and lead them more effectively. Not just actions over words, but knowing when best to use one or the other.

Aha that's the name thank you that was driving me nuts

This is also how I became one among the fence...

My exact thoughts on Mad Max: Fury Road.

But could they though? I mean its a hour and a half KIDS film.

@@fnfn9199 Sure It can! There are plenty kids movies that deliver a well developed story with well developed characters. Even side ones! Treasure Planet, Lilo and Stitch, Mulan, Prince of Egypt, Toy Story, Megamind, inside out... It doesn't need to be flawless... Just a finished piece. I do agreed that a series gives way more oportunities for the themes to be explored than a movie.... But being for kids is not really a problem. I mean... Even If it's for kids, is still made by adults...

I remember that trailer more than the film itself. I think that's part of why people say that 9 worked better as a short film, because the visuals, music, and atmosphere are all great, but the actual plot and characterization is thin.

it introduced me to the band =)

@@vantagepoint9270 I remember seeing the trailer in theaters and being blown away by it, but I never ended up going to see the actual movie and completely forgot it existed. Fast forward 10+ years and I stumbled onto it on Netflix or somewhere and immediately was like, "Oh shit that's the movie that had Coheed in the trailer!" That's how much that trailer stuck with me.

@@ChillandQuill Same here!

Unfortunately there is no music like that in the movie itself.

Sausage Party says hi.

@@rodintremboy6459 First off, Sausage Party came out way later and two, it still relied on the fact that most animated movies are made for kids. „Haha look at those funny animated characters swearing and making innuendos, they don’t usually do that. This movie isn’t like those other animated movies, this one is naughty, don’t show it to your kids, people!“ was basically its entire marketing gimmick. Sausage Party wouldn‘t even exist in a world where animation is taken seriously as a medium for adults.

There are plenty of Japanese ones (The Wind Rises, The Boy and the Beast, Princess Mononoke, Tokyo Godfathers) and some Western ones since 9 (Isle of Dogs, Loving Vincent) but they're rare. I guess it's not an economically accepted move, since well, your market is cut off: no little kids, since most parents will not take them, and no older kids, since they may dismiss the animation as "for kids" and not take it seriously.
