I don't know why but I just love the way the music is muted like its being played in a different room, something about it was just so soothing. I just wanna curl up and fall asleep but I'm to busy listening to you talk smart about movies.
I thought it was more "The Three Amigos" + "The Seven Samurai," primarily because the so-called Warriors are under the impression they are there for entertainment, rather than as hired muscle. It's only after the reality sets in, and after a pep-talk that the circus bugs do what they can to fight for the ants. The samurai, though, always knew how to fight, and had every intention of doing so once they were making their way to the village. The same goes for "The Magnificent Seven."
Yes, it's a clear bit by bit evolution. The Magnificent Seven is the Seven Samurai in the old west. The Three Amigos is essentially the Magnificent Seven with the heroes not understanding what they were hired for. A Bugs Life Is the Three Amigos. With bugs
Damn. I still remember watching your Treasure Planet video and you hadn't even broken 20k yet I think. Now you're at 120+, I can't wait till you smash that 1 million mark my dude. You put out such high quality videos that it'll happen in no time.
As a kid, I always had a bit of trouble understanding Bug's Life. I didn't think it was all that unique compared to other Pixar films. This analysis made me realize that it was indeed a masterpiece with it's imagery and it's referencing Seven Samurai. I will definitely watch Seven Samurai in order to grasp what inspired Pixar to make the film.
I'd just like to let you home boys know that my boy Bread has taken your seven thousand comments into consideration and has rethought the way he verbally paces himself. So peep his new stuff and listen for improvement before addin to the hellfire that's been roastin his poor ass.
Kudos for getting the Shakespeare quote right at the beginning. People always misquote that and say "name" instead of "word." And as an aside, Toy Story's plot is very similar to that of Jim Henson's The Christmas Toy (and Secret Life of Pets, which came later.)
It's incredible how many things have been inspired by Akira Kurosawa and Seven Samurai, and it's a tragedy how few people know about him or have watched his movies. As a YA, I'll keep trying to spread awareness to my generation.
Kurosawa is a literal legend in film making. He's not some obscure creator that needs to be given their time in the sun. That's why he gets ripped off constantly lol. You don't rip off garbage lol
dude come on Kurosawa is one of the most famous filmmakers of all time, most people know him without even having seen any of his movies, let alone the amount of casual, to nerdy film fans that watch his stuff or cite his influences, let alone filmmakers themselves that always mention him. This isn't 1920s-1950s black-and-white movies we're talking about that next to no young people have seen. He has probably the most popular black-and-white movies by far. Please, don't sound like a pretentious film buff.
@@GuineaPigEveryday "Please, don't sound like a pretentious film buff." Ironically, I think you've done exactly that. So much vitriol for a 5 year old comment. I have an opinion and an experience with something and you insult me for it because it doesn't perfectly correspond with your own. I'm glad that those around you seem to know about Kurosawa, but please don't act as if your experience is that of everyone else. I've never met a single person in my home town that recognized his name when I asked them about it. That is a fact, and that is why I made my comment. I'll continue to spread awareness of his works, even if that somehow makes me pretentious, because I think film history should be revered, not forgotten, and it brings happiness and connections to those in my life.
Just because you live in the sticks where everyone is stupid, doesn't mean culture and the world at large doesn't no of Kurosawa. ask any film student and they know him. ask any Japanese or east Asian person and they will know him. ask anyone interested in Japanese culture, they will know him. you mistake experience for facts. I live in a small town where everyone is a uncultured ignorant American, for the most part. so what? I'm not an idiot like you who believes that their town represents the majority of cultural awareness, I understand where I come from and I understand culture. you are the epitome of a pretentious pompous fool. again, my intention isn't one of hate or insult. It is simply stating a fact, as I once was, ignorant like you.@@Khepriem
Your work is extremely addictive and is at the same time frustrating for the amount of content you have produced. I'm in love with the friendly yet official tone of the audible essays, it puts me to thought and process. You, keep this up.
Jon Favreau if you want more stuff like this, i would recommend Nerdwriter1 and Tom Scott. They both do wonderful explanatory videos, although Nerdwriter1 is much more similar to this type of content. Happy searching!
I took Japanese Cinema in college 11 years ago, and when we watched Seven Samurai, our teacher made sure to point out that ending to us. Your interpretation about the samurai being the real victims really reminded me of that class from oh so long ago!
Track 1: Blue Magic - Chasing Rainbows Track 2:"Intro": Kocky - Share Love Track 3: The Stylistics - Betcha By Golly Wow These were the only three I was able to find. :/ Hope this helps
Okay so I've been on a plane for 14 hours, the last 3 have not had AC. I just landed at home and nearly cried when I got the notification for this video
Ya Boi Solzhenitsyn. Yes, the entire plot is deeply rooted in early westerns. In fact, the concept of Samurai being a heroic figure for the lowest rungs of society was probably notable to the films Japanese viewers.
Your content is incredible. Specifically, your intonation in your voiceovers is unbelievable. Having done voice recording briefly, trust me when I say I understand how much work must go into getting that perfect take. Keep doing what you do, and thank you.
Hey Bread, I just really want to take the time to truly thank you for making these videos. I have always been a fan of analysis and essays on just about anything, and just hearing you narrate your points so vividly and clearly really has made me just want to be able to analyze things like you do. I've seen every single one of your videos (not really hard since you only have a handful lol), and I have enjoyed them all. I really enjoy your content and I can't wait for you to upload more and more. Cheers, Ryan
You are absolutely amazing!! I've never watched 7 samurai and watched a bugs life when I was a kid, and through your editing and story telling you made me care and pay attention. I truly appreciate that you took the time to make something so well crafted. Thank you
Video after video, you really make me think and you end them on such a strong note. There isn't just a comparison, but a -lesson- and I think that's most important. II can't wait to see more! Sharing this with my friends.
Pausing for dramatic effect is neat and all, but when it happens for nearly the entire 30 minute video I couldn't help but start subconsciously rolling my eyes. Everything in moderation and all that.
I 100% agree. When you try to make everything dramatic with a pause, nothing actually ends up feeling dramatic. It should be used with care, not for every other line. EDIT: I'm an idiot and I didn't realize this comment is already a year old lol
I've just discovered your channel, and am going through the process of watching your whole backlog. Banger after banger. The more I watch, the more blown away I am by the way you articulate your wonderful ideas.
Every time I finish one of your videos I’m full of peace, your voice+the music relaxes me so much, and when you conclude the video bringing the beginning back I just smile and can continue my day with a better mood than the one I had half an hour earlier
Nice, love both films so much. I never noticed the connection by the two until now, thanks man. Your videos are always insightful nuggets of knowledge from my favorite medium.
RIP Shinobu Hasimoto interesting you released this just after he passed I can't wait to properly watch it after my exam today, always good to see a new video
Thanks for the video! I love your analyses. I had just finished watching both The Seven Samurai and Samurai 7, so the instant I read the video, I got all the parallels between the characters.
I actually asked someone who worked on A Bug’s Life about the film’s inspiration and he said that the movie was originally more of a remake of Seven Samurai and the original title of the film was “Seven Bugs”. The original version stayed more close to the original movie in terms of its story, but when they decided that the film would be about circus bugs that were mistaken for warriors instead, that lead to them changing the title. He pretty much said that Pixar in no way were hiding that they were making an animated remake of or loosely based on Seven Samurai.
Arthur Kachberuni couldn't agree more. The misplaced pauses in dialog are so irritating. Also, at times I feel like there are too many redundancies. Saying the same thing three different ways, each time attempting to sound more eloquent than the time before.
I love your videos you portray your thoughts so passionately throughout the whole video. I get so exited every time I get a notification that you made a new video. These videos make my day I hope you keep up the good work!
I'm continuously blown away by your abstract yet so completely in context review of film. I love your videos more than the amount of effort you put into them (that amount being a lot). Thank you for making my day
Literally found your channel yesterday and have now binged all your videos. Amazing content that has definitely become my new go-to! Keep up the great work, looking forward to new videos.
I very much liked this video. Got my sub. But you pause at the end of every second sentence I swear. Personally it makes it very hard to listen to. Really does break up the commentary and lessens the impact from something profound or intresting that DOES deserve a pause. Writing is great but improved speaking could make it feel even better.
I really like the content of the video, but I think you should cool it with the "video essay voice," if you know what I mean. It often sounds like you're surprised by what you're saying as you're saying it.
@@zenzin7725 I mean... it is legitimate criticism. The "pausing at every few words" thing should be well timed and not overused. I think he can tone it down without too much trouble.
Loved it! Absolutely loved it. As with all of your videos, fantastic editing, mind-blowing contents, and AWESOME narration. You were born to narrate. Your voice is super calming, helped a lot by the beautiful pauses you make in your sentences. I understand it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I love it. I could listen to you narrate for days on end.
Gotta say, I actually had a chill run down my spine during the ending. Excellent work as always. This is literally the best channel I'm subscribed to with less videos than I have fingers. Looking forward to where to take our minds next, you smart guy you.
I have since watched all of your videos, some a few times over. They are all amazingly high quality and expertly well crafted. I sincerely hope to see more videos soon!
Dude I wasn't prepared for a video this ham. This is the first thing by you I've ever watched and I just noticed this only came out yesterday. My mind was blown this was a legit good ass indie video essay.
excellent video as always dude, well paced, well spoken, well written, oddly emotional and impactful. your channel is possibly my favorite on all of youtube, keep it up
You never disappoint my dude, appreciate the work and thought you put into your videos and also the unique topics you cover. You make thirty minutes on RU-vid actually fulfilling. So ya all that said thanks for what you do.
Holy crap, you made another *DAMN* good video. I gained a deeper appreciation for these two films, and now thanks to you, they're even better than they already were. Keep making dope content! You're on a roll. 👏👏👏
I'll never forget watching Seven Samuari for the 1st time & thinking, "wait, A Bug's Life homaged this!!!". Then I began to notice that every movie ever made has homaged/ripped off Seven Samurai.
I feel like you are trying to talk too much like Nerdwriter here or in a "smart" voice. I think your old cadence in past videos like Treasure Planet was better and unique.
Yea it got really weird towards the end of this video. The cadence had an odd pause for the last word of every sentence. Strange too since the beginning of the video wasn't that way.
Love the video (as I do all your vids), and personally think the passion in your words is given light with your use of pauses and the cadence in your speech. Keep the videos comin, you move me
I remember when I subscribed after your first video and you only had like 6k. I was refreshing every couple hours to see that next one. I love your stuff and can’t wait to see the next video!!
I love your videos so much. They are all so incredibly well scripted, and you obviously put so much time into them! You could make dirt sound like the most thought provoking thing in the world. Keep up the amazing work. :)
I remember when I first saw you first video and watched it I was like what the hell this is really good, then I went to see what other videos you had and it was just that one, I almost cried, but keep doing what you're doing. I'm going to keep watching man.
Like HOLY SHIT you really know how to tie everything around. Can't even explain myself jesus you are talented! Btw was watching every frame a painting yesterday and came by his Akira Kurosawa video which contained parts of The Seven Samurai and couldn't stop myself from thinking about how similar your content is to each other and BAM today you upload a video on exactly that, the coincidence is unbelievable.
I actually love the way you talk. The way it's not paced up to become another info-channel, the way you use your calm register to soothe me in the late evening, the pauses that emphasize every word. This is how I prefer people talking about meaningful topics: Like it's actually meaningful and somewhat deep. The others who seem to hate the pauses in the comment section; you can speed it up to x1.5 as you do on audiobooks. For me, this is perfect, Mr. Bread. It is absolutely needed and you are absolutely appreciated. Love you love you love you, good night.
i just wanna say i am absolutely enamored with the way you can tell a story. you speak the way about movies i wish i could but you have so many other aspects of your story telling that just add depth, which i think is funny because your videos are structured to do the same thing
