The Era of Dark Comedy (And Why We Love It)
Atlanta. Barry. The Bear. Beef.
What do these shows have in common? Well, they're really funny at times. But sometimes, not funny in a straightforward way. At other times, they can get very serious.
But, most of all, we've been getting more and more of them in the past few years. And in this video, I wanna explore why.
Other shows in which clips were used for this video are: White Lotus, Succession, Hacks, Dave, The Curse.

The Scariest (And Most Underused) Device in Horror Movies
Переглядів 7 тис.Рік тому
Have you ever watched a movie or TV show with a scene that scared you not because of what was on screen... But, instead, what was offscreen? There is a whole art to the horror of not showing - when the fact that you don't see it makes it scarier, just like when you were a kid, afraid of the monster under your bed. And I think this method of storytelling, or device, so to say, is still criminall...

    I was like a movie called 'Incendies' with an horrifying twist? They made a movie with that book? Watched the video, and yes they did make a movie, I had to read this book for my French class in Cegep. Great book. It's in my bookshelf still. I've read this book only once, so I didn't _exactly_ remember the twist, but talking about the child soldier then the torturer, I was like oooh yeah. That would make sense as the horrifying twist. Pretty sure, I figured it out early the first time too.

    I've read the play. This movie definitely did it justice, however nothing compares to discovering the plot twist while you're reading. The gasp I let out was so beyond violent I swear I stopped breathing for what felt like hours. Simply a masterpiece. If you enjoyed the movie (or the play!) , I highly recommend a work by the same author (Wadji Mouawad) called "Forêts". It also evokes themes of war, love and heartbreaking sacrifices. Enjoy!

    I found this video while scrolling on YT and decided to watch it, but I stopped right before you revealed what the actual twist was. Then, several months after, I decided to watch the movie (just finished it). I guess it was because I knew there was a twist coming and was actively looking for it, but I took a wild guess and got it right. Regardless, when the contents of the letters are revealed, I bawled my eyes out. It really is an amazing piece of art, this movie, and I couldn't have known about it if not for you, so I came here again and finished watching the video. Thanks for this; I'll never forget this film.

    To what Sophocles says "Hold my beer, while I write 'Oedipus Rex', 'Oedipus on Colonus' and 'Antigone'. Son kills his father, marries his mother, has four children (two sisters and two brothers) with her, stabs his eyes out, the two brothers kill each other, Antigone hangs herself, her fiance falls into his sword and his mother jumps to death.

    I couldn't agree more with several of your choices, especially Blindsight which I re-read regularly, and Cixin Lui's novel which was enormous in its scope. More proof that the critics don't have to be listened to, it's personal taste.

    What I liked about how they reveal the information that Abou Tarek is the brother is that they give you time to figure it out on your own. First, the leader of the rebels hints that Nihad (the brother) worked as a torturer, but not necessarily with Abou Tarek. That already made me suspect the possibility. In the next scene, the brother repeatedly says "1+1=1," which gives you enough information and time to confirm it (or discover it if you hadn't realized yet). Then, I took the final sigh as a reward for having understood where the plot was heading. Excellent movie, and as you said, it's a horrifying plot twist. I just finished watching it.

    My brain literally would not let me comprehend what was happening. My first thought was "wait that's not the torturer is it?" and I was confused for a few minutes because I literally could not accept the fact that they would have a twist that vile. Actually sick to my stomach. The casting was almost too good because I often got Nawal and Jeanne mixed up for some reason
