The Daniels Read Your Letterboxd Reviews 

will try our best 😁

@@TheWelchProductions Directors read reviews all the time I mean look back a couple decades they used to only read newspaper and journalist reviews, now it's letterboxd. What's wrong with that? I would love to see so many Directors read their reviews, for me it's Tarantino, I'd love for him to see how Letterboxd ranks all his films

They start with Roman Polanski

@@TheWelchProductions I found the pretentious film reviewer

you said it yourself, if the filmmakers don’t care about whether the audience likes their film or not, then what’s the problem of doing this video?? it’s just letterboxd, its not the end of the world. Also if you think it doesn’t bring anything valuable then at least give constructive criticism on how letterboxd can do better, like show these directors better reviews, longer reviews, people who like or don’t like their films for a good balance. Instead of complaining in the comments & turning such a good idea for filmmakers to connect with their audience, both fans & critics, down. Like what you’re doing right now. Your comment doesn’t bring anything valuable to the table.

lmaooo

SAME this would enter my mind any time

Making movies is a form of therapy.

I would give my life to see him reacting to The Strange Thing About The Johnson's reviews, they're HILARIOUS

The Daniels, Phil Lord/Chris Miller and Matt Stone/Trey Parker are some, if not the best creative duos of our time.

They even point out some minor inconsistencies of their own film in the director's commentary to EEAAO haha

[justin timberlake voice] it’s just Daniels, drop the “the”

@@Mr_Spaghetti They've said that they're fine with "the" as part of a sentence, it's semantically awkward otherwise. But they want to be officially billed as just "Daniels" because printing "The" in front seems pretentious, as if they were the only ones.

The only problem with this is a bunch of people going to find their reviews to try talk to them or say something funny or just intentionally be annoying and making the account unusable.

@@e.d.5766 your name and subsequent frustration make a lot of sense

@@e.d.5766 There are already famous filmmakers who use the app and have a big following without issue.

I describe it as a indie family drama highjacked by a marvel movie

@@davidhayes4840 if say less Marvel and more The Matrix

That is reductive of how well both of these aspects are blended into each other

@@kidkangaroo5213 dude, I totally agree. Rewatching it now, I see a lot of nods to Jackass as well

@@kidkangaroo5213 well yeah i simplified it i wasnt gonna get as deep as i wouldve liked in a youtube comment. i was just saying it was fun

that is so funny

So did they

SAME ??? WAS IT IN CORAL SPRINGS

Hold in what? the fart

It isn't definetely. For you it may be. For me the film was extremely pretentious, coherent and predictable. And for an hour and a half the narrative didn't advance and it was boring. It could have had an hour cut, even in the end when the themes came out. And the protagonist was the most insufferable character I've ever seen. I personally don't see how people say this film is great. Just because it's different it isn't great. 6.5/10 for me. Anyways, if you enjoy it, perfect.

@@rafaelc.c. It's one of those things where in this current culture with marvel movies being the most popular set of films, this movie is basically like a breath of fresh air, it's almost like a marvel movie in a lot of ways, but it chooses to embrace the "mundane" elements that marvel movies lack. Also, if you think the protagonist was the most insufferable character you've ever seen, I'm guessing this is your second time seeing a movie because that doesn't even sound possible.

​@@dffgffffffdddddddddd She's a bad person, who even when the movie says she's supposedly redeemed still treats her husband bad without a single reason. She's selfish. And besides she's always making the wrong choices. There are characters who are worse people, but few are so frustrating and insufferable.

@@dffgffffffdddddddddd And a film is not better or worse for being different from others. Citizen Kane is not the greatest film of all time because of the restrictions of its time. No, that implies merit, not quality. Nowadays, Citizen Kane is not much good in my opinion. And if there had been a hundred films like EEAAO before, would it still be as good? That's the real question. So, depending on its time of release the quality changes? No, I don't think so.

@@rafaelc.c. Was that not the point, though? She was meant to be insufferable and selfish in the beginning, and her flaws were apparent, even to the other characters, to the point that it was destroying their family and their business. She was at rock bottom, or so she thought. And even went so far as to consider embracing nihilism to drown her sorrows and failures as a person. It was because she was so flawed that she was the Evelyn the Alphaverse needed, since she had the most potential in connecting to every other universe that was better than her, the "worst version of yourself". It's pretty shortsighted though to say she wasn't redeemed by the end, and still treated her husband like shit. That's far from the truth. She, much like the audience, had an epiphany moment, and realized how wrong her perspective was, after everything, and came to understand her husband and her daughter's points of view, embracing the former and challenging the latter. By the end, she became more loving to her husband and fixed her marriage, stuck with her failing business and the mundanities of life she took for granted, and helped her daughter accept herself and find meaning to exist. How on Earth could you possibly have missed all that and still thought she didn't redeem herself whatsoever? This was a powerful story of proactive empathy, anti-nihilism and not taking the small things in life for granted. And it somehow portrayed all of that in a quirky fashion that flipped the conventional genre on its head and still managed to make sense amongst the intended chaos. It's refreshing and daring. It's a pity all of that flew over your head, and, for you, was reduced to a pretentious, mundane story with insufferable characters. Your loss, not ours.

ok! 💖

Sometimes falling asleep can be like a defensive mechanism of psyche against feeling stuff

Very interesting that my parents' review was also "eh". I'm the Daniels' age and I absolutely loved it, so it made me wonder how much it's specific to a generation (or two). And also how valid their lack of enthusiasm was. They do like fun and don't miss themes, so I don't think it's as simple as "they didn't get it".

Same thing happened with me and my mom

This is why I’m not showing my dad this movie. It means a lot to me as someone who’s been suicidal and had a complicated relationship with my mom, and if he just fell asleep during it I would take it way too personally.

@@Norsilca I don't know, I'm 75 and went nuts for it. But I'm just one individual.

They sure did

hyeah yeah sure we all believe that (NOT) youre a normie sheep like everybody everywhere all at once! get real and watch a movei before us next time

Swiss army man wasn’t that good

@@nalimlattarai2873 no it wasn't, it was great ;)

@@nalimlattarai2873 doesn't have to be great to be a favourite :) (its great to me)

Yeah i love swiss army man, when i heard they making movie eeaao, im looking forward to and not expect it they won the oscar omg

Must’ve been an editing nightmare to get the final version.

Lol the guy sitting beside me felt the same way as that last review lol.

Nah. He's annoying
