SAD LITTLE RICH BOY IS IN DANGER | Saltburn Movie Reaction and Initial Analysis 

LOVE that you picked up on Felix being a low-key misery tourist; that fascination with Oliver's seemingly grimy life. He's so much like his mother. It's a real pity this (like so much else) wasn't developed more.

The nakedness at the end was about really seeing Oliver as he really is. The bare Oliver enjoying his evilness.

What's crazy to me is everyone wants to paint Felix in a bad light and to me he's a privileged guy who's just searching for a real sincere friend and everytime he thinks he has one, the relationship is somehow ruined.

The movie is a Modern day Vampire story. As soon as he's invited in all he wants to do is feed off these people and own every aspect of the lifestyle. It's not that he didn't know who he was. It was more that the audience didn't know who he was because we've got a lot of baggage when it comes to the fish out of water scenario in movies. I think it's mainly supposed to be a subversion of the eat the rich power fantasy to show that not all the down and outs are morally superior to rich people (Who are usually just cardboard cutouts of immorality, greed, and duplicity). The end reveal is not really a twist, all the signs are there, but I do agree. The Pie in the Face reveal at the end was unnecessary.

24:30 my immediate response to this question before I continue the video. I thought this movie was about the lengths one would go to feel included. I thought Oliver wanted to be anyone, become anything, in order to simply be ✨️ somebody ✨️ in the eyes of this family hes obsessed with, especially in the eyes of Felix. By the end I felt this was not the case which was honestly disappointing. His character arch felt messy and aimless to me and his actual goal seemed very shallow. I'm really enjoying this video btw! You're commentary is always so thought provoking!

I guess we're not getting back to that "old-fashioned sink system." Yeah, Elspeth doesn't quite fall for Oliver's line. I just thought Oliver recognized Farleigh's ring. This movie reminds me of a movie I love, _The Talented Mr. Ripley._ I really like your annotations. I'm also so excited to see a reactor who doesn't like this movie. ♥

I'm obsessed with this movie, but I do see the plot holes if you over analyze it. I enjoyed it in the same way I enjoy a vampire movie with its sexy(horny), aesthetic, unhinged appeal. The additional layers, incorporating mystery and psycho drama contributed to the fun. With the witty one liners, it also reminds me of Clue set in absurdity. The dining room scene was a masterpiece.

I'm not sure why the captions didn't work on Amazon. The movie does have them on there.

We are watching him confess what he did to her before he killed her…..he destroyed her whole family. Hearing is the last thing you lose before death and shows just how cruel he really was.

Carey Mulligan looks so different in this from how she did in "Promising Young Woman."

Oh how I missed your commentary!🎉 Loved the reaction and definitely hoping to hear more thoughts eventually! As for the movie, I don’t think it accomplished what it wanted to, but that exactly along with a good premise, brilliant cast and gorgeous cinematography did exactly what a number of other good-looking but deeply flawed things had done. And that being, scratching that collective itch to do the post-mortem and fix the thing. Genuinely just love it when it happens.

I wanted Ollie and Farleigh to end up being collaborators after their karaoke fight, I thought that was going to be the arc.

You have really interesting, nuanced perspectives. Love your reactions/reviews, keep them coming! Also, you’re hilarious and seem genuinely fun. Curious to see if your opinions change with a second watch.

2006!? I thought it was set in the 70s or 80s? I think it was the slightly sepia look in the titles.

I love your reaction and review. That is exactly how I felt at the end and asked myself “What the f$ck did I just watched?”

I think people need to ask themselves why scenes that were not resonating actually happened from Ollie’s perspective. And it obviously at all wasn’t about class. It was about people. Over consuming without thought. Feeding on others recklessly and the consequences.

If the narrative is from the unreliable narrator who is the antagonist and he’s victorious, then the tragedy being a comedy to him at the end makes sense. People keep calling this movie contentious and im like calm down it’s all right there. If you don’t like villain wins just say that. I love a controversial movie that’s not bad. You can’t call it bad because you didn’t like it you can call it bad because the team that produced it didn’t know what they were doing. I think they know exactly what they were going for, and some executions could be better. But a movie that felt like the main character sounds like the point.

He planned to hurt Felix IF Felix rejected him which yeah hun he was not going to deal with his problems when he never had to. It was a done deal. And you couldn’t tel him the remaining truths and be sure he would send you away. He’d gone too far.

Thank you so much for this reaction, I've missed your commentary! I hope you get to watch Poor Things as well, it's so dissectable.

i used subtitles when I watched it on Amazon so that's weird you were not able to use them

First time to the channel. Gotta say 3 minutes in, you have such an engaging personality. :)

It's 100% a love it or hate it movie! You either understand and dig its weirdness or you don't get it and just thinks it's wierd and bizarre!

i’m soo mixed on it cuz i’ve been thinking about this movie for months and think some of it is cool but also it feels like they had two half’s of an idea put together

Oliver gives me the same vibes as a cuckoo chick

Great reaction! Only thing, your audio level was too high compared to the movie's. Still enjoyed your commentary though!
