The House from Get Out having Doric collumns reminiscent of plantation mansions is a brilliant piece of foreshadowing for the big reveal.

@AsukaLangleyS02 Год назад

If you're taking plantation columns and using them in your "white people are all racist towards the wewuzkangz folk" isn't very shocking when your movie is going to be about racism. You're just a tool!

@diinalens Год назад

It's interesting how the haunted house ideal is quickly shifting from the "classic" victorian houses which were symbolic of the post-great depression era to the modern mcmansion, symbolic of the post-2008 crisis.

@uwpride Год назад

Well said

@diinalens Год назад

@@uwpride thanks! i was watching "the watcher" on netflix and i thought this subtext was made pretty obvious in that lol (even if the house in the series is older, it did remind me of some modern monstrosity. i was like why are y'all so obsessed with this house, it's ugly af)

@gabryelsohle6627 Год назад

That's an excellent observation.

@MultiPaco06 Год назад

I think its far from moving away from the ancient manor tho, haunted haunted houses are still old Victorian houses in mostly haunted houses movies and series.

@m.ta.r.6443 Год назад

I think it's because they are too much money to keep up.

@dmitryboardman9762 Год назад

The Get Out house seems very thematically appropriate then-- plantation styling sticking out of a more unassuming architecture is very much resonant with the story.

@GetOfflineGetGood Год назад

Same with the concept of the true size being understated but still present, especially as a symbol of the wealth of the white family

@alexschofield8085 Год назад

Also how symmetrical it is raises alarms in my brain

@waggermama 11 месяцев назад

@@alexschofield8085but it also isn’t exactly, as it has three dormers but four French windows - it’s subtly wrong

@jeremiahnoar7504 7 месяцев назад

My problem with it is that it's a little obvious. The moment you know what the plots going to be for the movie you already know that they're going to reference plantation homes in the houses design. A little on the nose.

@fezenstein Год назад

i love that someone finally talks about how brilliant the house was in beetlejuice.. I liked it both before and after.

Yeah but Amityville’s a real house and the owners would not like to be bothered. Also that movie was dull.

@blahdeblaaah9445 Год назад

I very much enjoy the speed at which the information comes flying at me from the videos featuring this architect and whoever is editing them. I *love* it when he’s talking about something and on the screen, you’re being shown a photo with the words appearing as he speaks. Thank you to the editors and to this architect for their talents.

@fefferryerr1818 Год назад

me too, although they need to smooth the dialogue, it sound jumpy every time there's a cut in his words.

@pompe221 Год назад

You know another reason the Overlook/Timberline might have a deep, strongly pitched roof? Heavy snowfall. A steeply pitched roof will discourage lots of snow build-up which could collapse a flatter/more shallowly pitched roof. There are ways to reinforce a roof against heavy snow-load so that it doesn't need to be so deep but that can get pricey (and bulky.)

@alexwilmes9496 Год назад

One thing that wasn’t mentioned about the Overlook/Timberline is that the interior shots of the hotel are all on a soundstage. The actual interior is akin to a massive log cabin, lots of timber and very rustic.

@confuseatronica Год назад

and somewhat cramped! There's constant traffic jams in that thing, almost everywhere except right in front of the big fireplace. Especially in the halls off the rooms.

@denverdubois5835 Год назад

Yes, it's very 1930s rustic. They used HUGE old growth redwood tree trunks to hold up the roof. You could not even do that now (rightfully).

@ikarikid Год назад

Also the floor plan deliberately does not match the exterior.

@bethlondonart Год назад

I washed a load of laundry while we stayed there. It was an unsettling experience after reading and watching The Shining. I had to go down stairs into the basement, past the boilers on a metal catwalk and down more stairs to reach the laundry machines. It gave my active imagination a spooky workout.

@ham2413 Год назад

The interiors of the Overlook were heavily based on those in the Ahawahnee lodge in Yosemite

@mattwales2734 Год назад

I work at a nursing home that was built around the 1930s. The dining room looks eerily familiar to the stairwell room in The Shining. I'm always tempted to start bouncing a ball off the walls.

@jochenkraus7016 11 месяцев назад

Just beware if the layout starts to feel a bit off :-o

@HunterJarvis Год назад

The beetlejuice house was a real house that was about 10 mins from my hometown. The outside at least. And the whole town it was shot in too! It’s so sweet to think they’re driving through a place I’ve been to many times

@MichaelfromtheGraves Год назад

The house was a shell built for the movie. Hence the windows being way too small.

@cmcg9035 Год назад

Even though the house in Get Out isn't on a hill, the porch is raised in such a way that we have to look up to see the entrance. The door is higher than the windows next to it, making it look like it doesn't belong to the house. Both the door and those windows look like you couldn't escape from them.

I have three favorites: 1. The Hill House mansion in The Haunting (1999) 2. Whipstaff Manor in Casper (1995) 3. The Crimson Peak (2015) house

@socialmoth4974 Год назад

I was just thinking about Hill House, the house that was born bad. I think it was the scariest house in cinema.

@OrganMusicYT Год назад

Hill House in the Haunting was fantastic. The building is stunning externally. Of course nothing matches up on the interior set, but the set itself reminds me of the FOX theatres in Detroit and Michigan. It's gigantic in scale.

@horticc Год назад

Loved the building since I saw the film as a child. The exterior they used was of Harlaxton manor in Lincolnshire . My home county, sadly never been able to visit as it’s a university campus. The style is jacobethan a merging of Jacobean and Elizabethan architecture , remains my favourite style.

@SoCalFreelance Год назад

@@OrganMusicYT Completely agree. That opening shot revealing the mansion in the mist with the muted sun in the distance is one of my favorite in cinema.

@buzzardbeatniks Год назад

When I was a kid I loved the 80s modern Beetlejuice house renovation both inside and out, in fact I loved Delia's style all around and I was confused as to why Lydia didn't like it when it seemed to suit her attitude so well.

@hcdodge4991 Год назад

The glass house in Thir13en Ghosts (2001) is one of my favorites, without the movie itself being a favorite. Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari (1920) and the Watson & Webber short The Fall of the House of Usher (1928) are also striking. And the octagonal Armour-Stiner House in The Nesting (1981).

@Siansonea Год назад

I love the Timberline Lodge/Overlook Hotel from _The Shining,_ but one of the things I love most about it is how incongruous the interior set is compared with the location exterior. It really underscores the unease about the house when it has the sort of impossible quality. The house from Get Out in some ways reminds me of the house from _Poltergeist,_ which was really turning the haunted house trope on its head way back in 1982. An ordinary, almost pedestrian suburban house, that is now pretty iconic.

@cinemaocd1752 Год назад

I think every town had a dilapidated Victorian house that the kids all thought was haunted. Hitchcock was so great at digging into the American psyche...I love that Beelejuice actually has this comment on architecture and the tension between restoration and renovation. We automatically see the renovators as villains and the restorers as the heroes.

@auggie532 Год назад

Would love to see a part 2! Very interesting stuff, especially with the more subversive horror like Get Out.

@Nasubionna Год назад

Very cool! I would love more of these, including the family house from the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre. A beautiful old Victorian home with a whole lot of evil lurking inside…

I wasn't expecting the Adirondack Style to have such an influence on the rest of the architecture around the states! Grew up in Upstate NY and can confirm that the "Laid Back" feel is amplified around these parts

@christinecollins6302 Год назад

As someone who vacationed on Long Island ( also NY) I would sugest that the “ shingle style” probably Queen Anne archetecture we had also feels creepy cool- and old school resortish ( example: House of Woody Allen’s Interiors, beach bubgalow in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Metropolitan). Not to forget real homes like the Beal’s Grey Gardens, Warhol’s, Halston’s and Ralph Lauren’s

@mattropolis7857 Год назад

The 'dilapidated' house at 1:24 is located in Astoria Oregon. They're actually renovating it, but it has a fascinating history of a rich family that gradually fell into health issues, isolation, and estrangement.

About the maze set. Most people dont realize but, the daytime shots of Wendy and Danny walking through the maze were shot on an indoor sound stage. Kubrick is that good at lighting. He can actually create an overcast sky seen in camera above the actors as they walk through the maze but it is all studio lighting cleverly disguised

@IntriguedLioness 6 месяцев назад

To me, I was always fascinated that Kubrick chose so many different styles of architecture to portray The Overlook in The Shining. I have stayed at the Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite which is the interiors, or should I say the replicas of the Interiors which were built on a soundstage in England. The exteriors were Timberline Lodge which I have often stayed and stopped over on ski trips on Mount Hood outside of Portland Oregon. The Styles simply don't match!!!😮

👩🏻‍💻The last house was very balanced, pleasing to the eye, symmetrical, implying in my mind as safe, solid, and long standing. I have taught the concept of Symmetry to 1st grade students for 17 years. These kids just soaked up the equalness and comfort of a symmetrical shape and looking for Symmetry in their world and how excited they are to find it in what ever form. I have not seen the movie but it would be jolting to have scarey moments inside a welcoming residence. All the other houses leave me restless, questioning, and resisting.

Another influence for the Bates House is the Kittredge Family Mansion in Santa Cruz. Hitch lived in nearby Scotts Valley and would have seen the mansion, which sits on Beach Hill, it its then imposing, dilapidated state. It's now completely refurbished and the Sunshine Villa retirement community. My friend worked there and says the staircase matches the one in "Psycho", which freaked her out to no end.

@hopsiepike Год назад

Check out the staircase in the Victorian hotel in Vertigo, filmed two years before. It’s the same. Now I know why Hitchcock named it the Kittredge Hotel.

God, i can't help but say that the Timberline Lodge just isn't done justice in photos. I know people love it, but if you turn around and look down the mountain the view is breathtaking. We were lucky enough to catch it at both Sunrise and Sunset when we visited. It was gorgeous!

Timberline Lodge (which I visited once during a snowstorm) holds a special place in my heart as a Shining fanatic, so that one of course was my favorite. Interesting to compare its style roots to Adirondacks. I learned a new word from you : “trabeated.” Thanks!

@jw870206 Год назад

About “The Overlook Hotel” exterior: That deep pitched roof makes sense in the mountains with all the snow, wanting to have minimal accumulation on the roof. So that beautiful deep pitch has a practical application to it as well. And much like you do, I really appreciate the artistic touch of continuance of line with the roof lines being brought all the way to the ground in places. You mentioned the hedge maze being a part of the sets in England. The interiors were also in the massive studios in England, and the interiors are based on the Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite. As terrifying as “The Shining” is, I still love the interiors. They are a wonderful juxtaposition of beauty and grandeur to the horror that unfolds in the film, and I could get into how the climax starts in the openness of the lounge and gradually becomes more and more claustrophobic until we’re locked inside the apartment bathroom with Wendy hiding from Jack as he chops down the door, but that’s a cinematic discussion.
