What Makes Who Killed Captain Alex Great?
#acinemalens #videoessay #wakaliwood #whokilledcaptainalex
As an aspiring filmmaker in a filmmaking community, people would always complain they can't made films whether because of the budget, equipment, or personal reasons. Even I was a victim of this, but not Isaac Godfrey Geoffrey Nabwana (Nabwana I.G.G.). With only a budget of $200 and challenges that the country face during that time, he was able to made a film that the whole wide world loves. Let's dive in into the process of how he was able to achieve that despite all of the limitations!

WELCOME TO ACINEMALENS (FILM PODCAST PILOT EPISODE)
Hey Greg, it's Nick, sorry it took me a long time, congratulations for your first 1k+ video. Similar to yourself, I am still entertained and highly regard 'Three Idiots' as a movie that resonates with students, Asians, and society, transcending generations as long as the rat-race system is still being upheld within most societies. You hit the nail on the head on why this movie works, it's ability to synthesize relatability + depth + slapstick allows it to be memorable without coming off as preachy/or as a PSA, optics mather after all. The characters also work well as representations of what the author supports and goes against, effectively hammering the message. Bridging your own experience on how it resonates with you helps convince the audience to understand the practicalities of what makes the movie good instead of simply waxing on film theory. In the end, a movie is as good as how the audience perceives it in most instances. Though like most critiques of the competitive culture of the education system it's quite limited to the constraints of a liberal viewpoint, as the system itself is merely a symptom of the overarching problem of a hierarchy based society resulted from the capitalist system, hence the movie being an "imperfect critique" of education. I believe you touched this but you can probably extend this topic in another video if you wish and maybe provide examples of movies that critique the education system from a more Marxist perspective. Overall, good job, the essay community is overall competitive but as long as you find your brand you'd definitely stand out!
This is fantastic video.
Good Analysis
Thank you so much!!~~
Great movie, jadi pengen nonton lagi 😄 Ini asli keren banget ulasannya. Sampe mata agak berkaca2 juga, soalnya nyentil kehidupanku sedikit wkwkwkwk 😆 Dan banyak orang pasti juga relate dengan apa yang dibahas dalam review film ini. Terima kasih, review film seperti ini bisa memberi pengetahuan tentang cinematografinya dan pelajaran apa yang ingin disampaikan melalui film itu. Dengan review seperti ini jadi lebih bisa menghargai semua orang yg berada behind the scene, yg udah put a lot of effort utk menyampaikan sesuatu ke kita through the movie.
Tersentuh banget setelah baca ini. Terimakasih ya atas kata-katanya 🙏🙏🙏
All is well !! Thanks for the explanation & review. Make me want to watch the movie again 😀
Glad you enjoyed it!~
❤❤❤❤ Great
Thank youu!~~
Great breakdown. <3 One of my favourite movies.
Thank you so much. What do you really like about 3 Idiots if I may ask?
Could sunna be blue eyes lake descendants because she resembles lake and could noa be Cornelius descendants because he lookalike Caesar and they both have same eyes and birthmark?
That's an interesting theory indeed! We might get more explanation of that in the sequel
Amazing breakdown of the movie
Thank you for watching! Let me know other films you would like me to analyze
💗💗💗
great analysis, loved the film and this vid
Thank you so much for your comment!~ 👍
All is well. Welldone. I love ur review so much ❤
Thank you so much!~
man, the man is killing us, man
One of the best action movies tbh
Gives new meaning to the word relentless entertainment! They set out to make the most action packed entertaining movie they could and they absolutely succeeded!

Lovely video
Thanks!
Despite worst movie, this is one of the best analysis I’ve ever watched. Love it. Made me lol and cant stop watching 😂 What’s next, Bro? Can’t wait to see it.❤
Thank youuu :))
All me
Eh, I don't really believe in the "perfect ending." I think more good art is good, even if retiring seems poetic
Miyazaki should never stop making movies.
The fact that this video has 2.9k views and 66 thumbs as of today, 10 December 23, shows that most viewers disagree with the content creator.
He's 82 at this point lmao, he can't live forever.
Spirited away is not miyazakis first film. Fact check.
I was meant to say that it was my first experience watching Miyazaki film, looking back guess I didn’t phrase it correctly
@@acinemalens gottcha
Your video was so calm, relaxing and interesting, thank you ! Can’t wait to discover your next videos !
Thank you!! 🙏🙏
Love to watch this. Very interesting ❤
Thank you!! Which film do you anticipate the most?
Nice video ❤ Gostei bastante.
Thanks! 🙏🙏
I loved this take on movie lay out and audience expectations I would like to see more videos on what "ABA, ABAC,AB..." means and what the different layouts look like! it sounds so interesting
It was taken from the book “Film Art: An Introduction” where the authors explained the format. The book explained it pretty well with great examples. Hopefully though I could make a video diving deep about this theory in the future :)
Yes, I understand. I haven’t seen the movie yet but I am drawn to explore these ideas. When times are bad, I don’t have to be miserable. I can enjoy each moment as I live it. I can be that which I want my world to duplicate. Kind.
Cool video essay!👌👌
Thanks!
😎 👍
Love it. thanks
I was impressed with Decision to Leave. Thanks for reviewing. Wish u success
Love ur review, thanks Bro
Too accurate and too scary.
Awesome commentary on being a man! Your channel deserves more likes. It really changed my mind too. Women are programmed by culture to want the 'bad boy', then expect this jerk to become a great husband and loving father. It doesn't make sense. I can attest, 'bad boys' become bad men.
Thank you for your kind words! I feel like its quite twisted on how do people perceived the image of “men”, and its just amazing how The Daniels able to subvert it through Waymond. I hope that this film able to enlighten that to others
I LOVED Run Lola Run! EEAAO is everything to me too..
Run Lola Run is perhaps one of the most unique action film that show how action film could be philosophical
I agree with u completely! This movie changed my life. Sometimes I feel so lost wondering how things could be different, but when I really think about it, there is no space/time I would rather be than here ❤ I feel like that acceptance is the ultimate act of self love. Great video! Hugs from Brazil 🇧🇷
Thank you so much for your comment! I would be lying if I don‘t feel that way too! But yes in the end, we just need to accept everything we had
1st...asian star wid Oscar.....Cooolll
Thank you for sharing your personal story.
You're welcome! Hope you could find (or had) a film that changed your life as well!
It is very rare to have such film analysis channel which analysis the film relates with real life.... I like it.. Indeed watching film is not only 'watch' but also 'learn'....
Thank you! I feel like we're living in times where films are consumed just as entertainment rather than taking something out of it. Glad to find someone who had the same thought :)
Woow, great video. ❤ Really opened my eyes. First time when I saw the movie, I had a mixed feeling. I liked parts of it, but also could not really accept some of the too absurd parts. But the way u analyzed it just open my eyes to see the great points from EEAAO. Thanks a lot
Glad to know that! Yeah it could be absurd at some point but it just amazing how well it all entangled together
Gonna see this one in theaters tomorrow! Your Name is one of my all time favs, excited af for this!
Many seems to be disappointed with this one. But that just show how much ‘Your Name’ is Shinkai’s Magnum Opus
Nice. Can I go with my parents?
