in a sea of video essays that just repurpose interviews and share generic insight, your channel is awesome, you should have more followers.,

Singin' in the Rain is an excellent film and your review is a good one. However you fail to mention that the majority of the songs in the film are from MGM's earliest movie musicals from the 1929-30 period. Specifically the signature song: "Singin' in the Rain" which is also the signature song and first seen and heard in "The Hollywood Revue of 1929" which premiered in June, 1929. In that film the sequence is filmed in black & white with Cliff Edwards & chorus, then reprised in technicolor for the finale of the film showing virtually all the MGM celebrities of the late silent/early talkie era. These are all important points to consider.

being 13 i think i’m the youngest person in the comment section, and i’m proud, i fricking love this movie

What a lovely video essay on a luminous film! I disagree on one point, though: 2:03 "Beautiful Girls" the most forgettable number?? Sir, how dare you! It is riotously cheesy, bonkers, trippy, satirical fun! In my family, we sing and quote from it as much as possible. The fashion showcase is a scream. "The judge will be im-PRESSED!!!!" I contend "You were meant for me" is the most forgettable... mildly pretty, utterly insipid... highlighting the lack of romantic chemistry between Debbie and (ick) Gene. Singin' might be my favorite film, but this sequence is when I go to the kitchen and make a snack plate. I rarely subscribe to channels, but you've got me! Keep these coming.

like many people have said. hopefully you plan on making more!!

ur a legend, i was literally thinking this just feels melodramatic when watching

I hate this film but I need to learn it 😂

You, sir, owe it to yourself and everyone else to make more of these videos. Your critique is substantial and enriches the ways in which we contemplate the medium of cinema. Like all good criticism, your work goes beyond just ‘liking’ or ‘unliking’ a film: it unravels the essential quality of the thing and makes it all the more palpable to the senses.

Finally some good criticism! Regardless of whether one agrees or not, it has to be admitted an excellent argument has been made here.

I can't even rewatch clips from Requiem

When I was growing up my dad was obsessed with Video Disc players (that was a thing) and he had That’s Entertainment and as a kid of probably 7 years old or so I was obsessed with it. Great is great. No matter the age.

One of the best recaps of a movie I have ever seen. Major kudos to you! The narration and commentary on the plot devices, songs and amazing dance numbers perfectly describes encapsulates the utter joy of the movie. Perfectly selected clips to accompany it as well. I just saw it on the big screen for the first time on Friday night. I am ready to see it again, and only wish it hadn't been a one-night-only engagement, as part of the theater's "classic Fridays" series. Last Saturday they made an exception, and I saw Easter Parade as a 4 PM matinee the day before Easter, another incredible musical, with two other major talents ... the always debonair Fred Astaire, and the lovely and incredibly-talented Judy Garland, at the height of her talent. It's going to be hard to watch these classics now outside of a theater, but I am thankful that I had the opportunity to experience the films as they were meant to be seen ... on the big screen! 💫

I don't think there's a need to put down spotlight like that to make your point. Those scenes you pointed out, to me, worked incredibly well and did help the movie's realism and immersion. And the fact that the "dramatic" moments were sparse helped with their impact. While I get the comparison with the wire, the tv show comes of as way more dramatized than the movie. Also you analysis of woman under the influence is very surface level. The techniques used for that film are the ones that give it it's realism. The actors had way more room to play. In comparison with spotlight in which every line of dialogue feels like it serves a purpose, every scene moves the story forward. Without having big scenes, the movie keeps you engaged at all times. It's, like you mentioned, as if you are watching a newspaper article in movie form. How poetic is that? The style and the look of the movie is intentional at all times and it's kept going through the whole run time. The director doesn't resort to using gimmicks for those big emotional scenes. Idk I feel like I'm glazing spotlight now lmao

The Spotlight screenplay is second to that of The Ides of March in easiest to read.

lol beautiful girls is my favorite number

Gena Rowlands and John Cassavettes are without a doubt my favorite “Hollywood” couple. He was such a brilliant director and he knew his wife and her potential so well. of course, she’s a brilliant actress of her own accord in every single performance… But with her husband directed her? She was over the top phenomenal… She’s a real actress my favorite actress only second two Ellen Burstyn… I’ve been an actress my whole life. And it makes me sad. What passes as acting these days… If people really want to see what acting is about? REAL acting do yourself a favor and watch this movie… “A woman under the influence” or watch Ellen Burstyn in “Requiem for a dream”… Jodie Foster, in “the accused” and of course “silence of the lambs” are right up there too especially the part in silence of the lambs where is, she is explaining her traumatic childhood when she tried to save the lamb from the farm to Dr. Lecter.… Jodie Foster wasn’t supposed to cry for that scene but she did and you can how much that memory still haunts her character. That little part of vulnerability won her the Oscar. It sickens me, literally sickens me that Ellen Burstyn lost to Julia Roberts in “Erin Brockovich”… I know it’s all politics, but I’ve never seen such a real, haunting performance, lose out to such a over the top, mid level “new Hollywood“ performance by someone who is really more of a movie star that an actress. If you put Julia’s performance on its own? And just look at it for what it is, it’s not a horrible performance and it’s definitely the best that Julia Roberts has done but honestly that’s not saying much. But when you put it up against Ellen and requiem ? It’s like comparing the Sistine chapel to a paint by numbers….One is art and one is contrived. Still bothers me to this day.

I just want an analysis on “A woman under the Influence” by itself. Can you do that? Please 🙏🏼

My favorite is Ready Player One "It's fucking Chucky"

PG-13, R-RATED AND TV-MA ONLY FOUL WORDS AND STRONG LANGUAGE OR EXPLICIT VIOLENCES, RESTRICTED

Ms. Rowlands' miraculous acting always, Mr. Cassavetes' self-avowed pursuit of love or the absence of it in all his films .. created magnificence. Unparalleled. Thank you for this video.

Nice analysis! This is my mom's favorite movie - so I've seen in 6-7 times. I don't mind because, unlike many musicals, it is (as you say) infinitely rewatchable. You're right that the songs don't further the plot at all - most of the time that bothers me, but not with this one. The whole "Broadway Melody" rewrite had nothing to do with the flop "Dueling Cavaliers" - but who cares?

VR takes cinema to the next level, not in immersion and making your own story

Fantastic video! Earned a subscriber :)

I’ve found myself to be in the minority on this, but this is how I feel about the John Wick movies. They’re so fun to see the first time, but if I ever rewatch, unless the person I’m watching with hasn’t seen it before, I’m bored to tears.

You couldn't be more right about truth in art. I'd love to see you review either Pasolini, Visconti or Lars von Trier!

ua-cam.com/video/kHRlp8pITGE/v-deo.html This is a good one as it's the only fuck in the whole show

Awesome video. Wondering now what you think of Ozu and his cinematic techniques.

Just watched gladiator right now Everything is done awesome in this movie beside plot and story , very low entertaining but insane good in terms of the visuality

This was great. Extremely well made and eloquently said!

Spoilers guys sheesh.

Gimme da caasssh! Is there a place I can purchase all these wonderful hats featured on this fine program? I love buying things.

🎉

Love your content!! Truly blown away that so few people have discovered you yet! Thoughtful, and engaging in every moment of the video!

What a thoughtful, and profound look at such an easily missed piece of storytelling. Amazing work, and amazing channel! I can't wait to see even more.

Wow!

Gene Kelly!!!! Bruh this is forever a top 5. It’s so good.

i've only seen one other person talk about pulse. this was a really great comparison that delved into the important parts of both movies

amazing video, when i finally looked away from the video and saw only 700 subscribers i was so shocked. hope to see more soon :)

Great video! As someone who's done some analysis on the truman show for class, I cannot say that it isnt a good movie the type of dystopian movies like pulse and TTS are what really should start change in current society sometimes. Get that 100k, We'll be proud of you when you do.

Funny People (2009) Eric Bana's character in thick Australian accent: "Cameron Diaz faaaaaaaaack."

Song?

damn

This was one ofthe primary reasons I hated hated hated Prometheus. The scientists and yes, even the non scientists were simply incredibly incompetent. One scientist touches an animal he doesnt know, the get scared and lost and run away. The movie is ridiculous.

wasnt expecting this crossover

Some more well earned engagement 🤗

Good luck with the channel

This kind of video is my bread and butter. You got yourself a subscription.

Ending it with the Truman bow was just beautiful.

Just found the greatest channel ever created no big deal ☮️

Fascinating analysis-I hadn't considered the parallels between these films. Very glad I stumbled upon this channel!
