Prisoners | A Cryptic Maze 

My favorite part of the movie is when Keller gets done torturing the guy and he’s reciting the Lord’s Prayer and when he gets to the line “and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us” and he can’t finish the sentence because he won’t forgive

Gyllenhaal is so good in these kinds of movies, love them.

Sick analysis. I still don't get how films like prisoners get overlooked

This film hits me hard because i have lived in Pennsylvania all my life. The cinematography and climate is matched perfectly.

This Analysis is pure genius! I saw this film when I was 14 and rewatching at 18 makes me appreciate it even more.

Hugh Jackman should have gotten an Oscar, this is such a performance!!!

Great analysis of one of the best movies ever made.

Loved your analysis! This is amazing, your channel needs way more subs and this vid needs way more views! Great work!

I've been working on a video about Prisoners for a long time now. I just stumbled across your video and absolutely love your insight on the film. I'll be sure to include you in my video essay references. You've got yourself a new subscriber :)

This is my favorite analysis so far of this film

Saw this yesterday, catching up with this director after seeing 2049. His work is tremendous.

Outstanding analysis, man. I just finished watching this one, and like you stated, this one completely flew under my radar. I don't know how I missed this masterpiece. Regards, Goat from Ruthless Reviews.

Amazing analysis of an amazing movie! Love your account, man - subscribed!

Awesome work dude. I rewatched this film this year, after seeing Sicario. I think the Blade Runner sequel is in good hands.

Great analysis, I too feel like this film was forgotten but will always be one of my favorites 💀🔥

Seen it 3 times. A marvelous film.

thank you for this deep and fantastic analysis. definitely deserving of a like and sub :)

I adore your channel! You have excellent taste!

Finally got around to watching this film after growing more of a fan of the director's work from blade runner to arrival. Can't believe how blown away I was by this film with so many details to digest. But this film carries so much weight into reality of our world. I knew there was so much symbolism and religious undertones so had to search for answers. Thank you for opening that door cause this film can teach more then just entertain. Thankyou!

“Give it an A+”…me, too. Great review, especially your explanations of symbolism contained within. Tx!

great video man I actually just rewatched it yesterday. It's personally my second favorite movie of all time.

Wolf of Wall Street and American hustlers derailed you from this masterpiece! Such a shame I haven’t watch not one of those movies only prisoners the day it came out. Already knew it would be good just from the trailer

this is a amazing analysis of the movie! great job

Exceptional stuff! It's one of my favs as well :)

Subscribed. Hope there will be more analysis'.

Graterford is a TOUGH very BAD prison, out near Philly. It's definitely the worse prison in the state of PA (and they have lots). Keller's dad likely committed suicide just out of sadness and perhaps shame of the things he seen and maybe even did while being a CO.

Holy shit dude, you're awesome. Keep on the hard work

Awesome review and explanation

One of the best movies I have ever seen

Wonderful movie indeed. Wish more people saw it.

Did you end up liking Blade Runner 2049? Thought he did an incredible job on that.

One of my top five favorites, movies😊

Subscribed. Great work. Keep up.

Great analysis.

A very in-depth analysis. I don't know if the screenwriter intended for the eight starred tattoo to parallel Noah's family, but otherwise I agree. I give the film a slightly lower rating as too much was explained through exposition, via the antagonist. Still, it was underrated, and deserved an Oscar nod for Best Picture.

Amazing Film..

Couldn’t agree more .. this movie is a masterpiece

nice video pong

Nice work! very underrated channel. By the way, what was the background music at around 5:00 ?

Btw it's a gerbil, not a hamster. Gerbils have long rat/mouse like tails, hamsters have tiny (like 0,5cm) almost nonexistent tails.

yes prisoners it’s definitely up there with seven and shutter island

This was filmed in my neighborhood I grew up!!

2013 was a great year for movies

How you know Keller was saved?

well if im keller ill do the same way, ill do the cruel way to extract information from the suspect, because that is what I believe that he was the one who took my child. So is that the only sin he did besides torturing Alex? And loki is not sure if he is going to rescue keller in the pit..

thats when you know the narrator had A+ in AP English

Things missed mentioning: Paul Dano’s character said he had never seen the girls before (which is a lie) bc the aunt said when he let them ride in his RV, she is the one who decided they should stay. Paul Dano’s character is also not as stupid as he plays out... he got his license and also said to Loki’s character that he “went for a drive” which is a quick comeback in the time of pressure Loki was using on him. So he could have saved himself and those two girls, if he would have just told them he saw them. Also... When the little neighbor girl said to Hugh Jackman, you were there.. and put tape on our mouth.... what was that about? And how the hell did Loki find the neighbors daughter? that scene made no sense. Enlighten me. Bottom line, his daughter Jackman’s wouldn’t have been saved if he didn’t capture Paul Dano’s character, which would lead loki back to the aunt’s house, where he could piece together the new evidence he obtained. He wrote off paul dano’s character and the aunt quickly based on society’s tolerance to people who act crazy. So had Jackman not did what he did by capturing Paul Dano’s character and bringing Loki to go back to the Aunt’s house, the daughter would have been dead period. Paul Dano’s character was not innocent. I don’t care what they say. Crazy does not make someone innocent. He said he didn’t see them but had enough mental capacity to let them ride around in his RV and obviously pass a driving test, and seen them get in his RV. Not to mention remember where the hell his aunt lived while driving around in it? I’m not buying that bullshit. Plus, look at the way that asshole Paul Dano treats his dog.... Innocent? I think not! lol Let me know what you think about the neightbors daughter comment and how Loki could find her. And what your thoughts are. Thanks!

In my opinion Keller did nothing wrong...💯✔ Alex knew the whole time where the children were and he refused to tell, so Keller did what was necessary to try an obtain the whereabouts of the children...👌🏼 Alex was a sick individual anyways, please don't forget about how he harmed the dog...🧐

I quite like Smarties. They are like M&Ms, but have a much thicker outer shell. They are also more oblate - more pancake-like. Anyway, I used to like Smarties, but I don't like chocolate anymore. Goodbye.

Obviously analysis videos of the same film are bound to be similar but your points are almost exactly the same as “Must See Films” 32 minute analysis video with the wording seemingly changed to mean the same but said in a different way as to avoid suspicion of copying, if you’re gonna copy, make sure the whole video analysis doesn’t feel like you’re rewatching the video you copied from as it’s far more obvious to tell the points aren’t original when you’ve heard the exact same in the exact order already

I disagree that Keller was morally in the wrong.

you butchered denis' name

this movie should be entitled: the crazy confusing movie at all times

How does Keller know where to go after he talks to the little girl in the hospital? It makes no sense... is it just a long shot? He seems so confident when he confronts the aunt tho... I see this as a major plot hole unfortunately Great movie otherwise...

i'm embarrassed to say i watched prisoners in 2021

you just copied and pasted Must See Films analysis on this movie

Pretty much just plagiarized MUST SEE FILMS analysis of the movie almost word for word

why does everyone get it wrong? keller didn't do anything wrong. Had he not taken and tortured alex, he never would have found his daughter. alex was not innocent he still took the kids.

Loki is the deer he shot and sacrificed.

nice video pong
