Challengers is Stylistic Perfection (Review)
Luca Guadagnino's latest film "Challengers" starring Zendaya is a sensual tennis game of love and lust. This might be his best movie to date, so let's talk about it.

Every Denis Villeneuve Film Ranked
Переглядів 1,4 тис.7 місяців тому
Now that Denis Villeneuve has built a more than impressive filmography with his latest release "Dune: Part 2", I figured it was a good time to rank every film of his from worst to best. Of course, this is just my personal list, with relatively arbitrary criteria so don't take it too seriously.

This is a hefty watch. While Martin Scorsese's films over the past decade have been some of my favourites of his, this one didn't quite live up to the likes of 'Silence' or 'The Irishman'. Regardless, it's still a brilliant film, but my expectations are probably the highest for a new film from the master himself.

Past Lives: Writing With Unbiased Empathy
Переглядів 200 тис.Рік тому
Past Lives is one of the best films of the year. I was thoroughly impressed by its charitability towards the characters, particularly Arthur played by John Magaro. Also, I recognize that calling it a "romance" film might be a bit reductive all things considered.

I Have High Hopes For The Batman (2022)
One of my absolute favorite movies, it doesn't matter at what "technological era" ur watching it, the message is still relevant. The media are not gonna stop brainwashing us and the p0rn & violence addiction is still gonna be a thing.
@Truest Picture , The sound bite you used at 3:39 was not Wes, it was a troll. I hope that you know that. That fact that you used it to convey your message makes you a hack. Please do better.
Great video. This movie blew me away and immediately became my favorite movie, so I'm glad to see it get some love. I actually found it more existential poignant from a more cosmic wilderness perspective. I get what you mean by AI and the death of certain art, but I think it also gets at scarier points of human insignificance in the vast cosmic sphere of the unknown. We have no idea what the purpose is or if we're "doing him right." Or another way to put it: "I need a breath of fresh air." "Okay but you won't find it."
I am partial to Batfleck, but he was playing an older Frank Miller style Batman, and never got the chance to have a movie that focused on the character this closely. Pattinson is genius in his portrayal, and Matt Reeves hit a lot of the beats that the other Bat franchises lacked. My only criticism is we don't see how he got to this point, we obviously know the catalyst of his trauma, but how did this Batman get inspired to create the persona, what was his training, did he leave Gotham for years to learn how to do what he does like in the comics or has he just been a recluse the whole time? All we get is an offhand comment from Alfred saying that he taught him how to fight, which makes me think of the terrible Earth One Batman comic. None of that is a criticism on Pattinson, however, he nailed what the role was intended to be and is totally spooky as Batman.
Dude's a friggin schizophrenic it's friggin obvious
Ben Affleck’s iteration of Batman was also very good and largely misunderstood. ScreenCrush articulates that beautifully in this video ua-cam.com/video/FgtAAviuxwk/v-deo.htmlsi=2xHBYZy6Q90V7FIu
I'm not sure if Marshall McLuhan would have been horrified or fascinated by the internet.
My takeaway from this great review - you don't need money or resources, you just need a great idea. Slacker is pure, unadulterated cinema and a true cult classic. Best watched stoned.
Cronen be Canadian?! Or should I say, Cronadian
sort of like how AI is making us into "videodrome"
I say let's give him some more film until we get too excited. But boy, he is killing so far! I really want to see Victor Freeze with this Batman!
The Achilles heel of 'Videodrome' is that it is based on a fallacious premise: "Body is reality". Also, ideas like 'Television is the retina of the mind's eye', are not only fallacious, but laughable. During the 80's, we watched these types of films out of curiosity, but we were not gullible enough to believe they were anything more than irrational trash: that's a new 21st century joke on young audiences and critics, who seek out art, where there is only mystification and outrage on show. If Cronenberg were a genius, he would produce a film on 'the human condition' (which is an immaterial mental abstraction) without punctuating it with electric (sex and violent) shocks. If corporeal substance was the sum total of 'reality' - as Cronenberg preaches in Videodrome, then cats, dogs and grasshoppers, would be engrossed by Cronenberg's movies. Can that be demonstrated? Cronenberg's premise, that 'the artist has NO responsibility' is entirely false. Why should other citizens and professions have responsibility, but not the artist? Cronenberg is implying that he is the Supreme Being: above all natural and positive law. Howard Stern made the same claim: "I have no responsibility". A democratic form of government does not imply that artists must have absolute licence and does not absolve any citizen from looking after their neighbour's imagination and psyche. Self-censorship is normal for any artist - it's a crucial part of the shaping of the initial raw material that is honed into the final product. He is implying that any artist who self-censors is not a true artist - what insufferable pretentiousness and pride? Existentialism has no moral code, so we cannot look to it as the source of a 'New Humanitarianism'. Anyone who knows the history of the shower scene from 'Psycho', will acknowledge that even before it reached the MPAA, it was a painstaking and elaborate exercise in self-censorship, on the part of Hitchcock, to avoid exploiting the lead actress' figure, and the audience through titillation. If Cronenberg were a genius, he would produce a film on 'the human condition' (which is an immaterial mental abstraction) without punctuating it with electric shocks. The censors in my country have done enormous good through censorship (a legitimate function of any body, responsible for the public good). Cronenberg assumes that Censorship Boards are comprised of philistines. More often than not, they will be infinitely more well versed in film, literacy, aesthetics, philosophy and art history than anyone hiding their concupiscence in - the "underground". "Underground" has always been a euphemism for anti-art. A democratic form of government does not imply that artists must have absolute licence. A democratic government does not absolve any citizen from looking after their neighbour's imagination and psyche.
every background character was a couple
Any review that says..."a love letter to...." Is automatically stopped by me when those words are tritely read. Media publicist catch phrases.
I never paid attention to Wes Anderson nor his work, but after watching Asteroid City, I'm really admire him now.
Can somene give me the instagram idea of the person who did this video? I mean, this is one of the best review videos I've ever seen, the sound mix, the narration. Truly amazing!
Not the best batman movie, but he is the best batman. I still got the dark knight and dark knight rises above this movie
As a film-a-holic who barely has time to watch films because of nursing school, I was extremely upset by this movie. I understand there is meaning behind it, but why make a film that a majority of people will not understand. I, personally, thought this movie was extremely boring, and lacked character. I find it hard for those who believe this film was something of a masterpiece. It felt like talking to an individual that has no character. I started doing my maternal health homework than being glued to my laptop, because this film did not have anything to bring to the table. This felt like brain rot to me. I am so upset. Never will watch a Wes Andie film again. This is abstract film-making. Just like abstract art. It's just there, and you can decide if you like it. Where are the 90s directors when you need them.
1. Prisoners (A) 2. Sicario (A-) 3. Blade Runner 2049 (B+) 4. Arrival (B) 5. Dune Part 1 (B) 6. Dune Part 2 (B-) 7. Enemy (D)
tbh the more i watch The Batman the higher Pattinson rises on my Batman actors tier-list, might as well admit he's my favorite Batman by this point
3:40 That might be fake. Or real I don'T know.
I need one more movie to nail it down.
Slacker lives in the present moment.
A fantastic video essay for a remarkable film, thanks and I hope your channel takes off. it deserves it.
movie had me rooting for a white man
Definitely Anderson’s darkest film. The play within a film within a documentary almost seems like a salute to Lynch’s Inland Empire. Previous Wes films struck me as being beautiful with endearing and whimsical stories. This one the humor is dark the mood bleak and characters are far less charming. Not entirely sure how this ties into existentialism maybe the nausea. Having the freedom to do anything and yet nothing we do means anything. I’ve managed to depress myself thanks for the video I enjoyed it.
whoever styled him as wayne needs at very least a nomination
I’ve seen it4 times and I still don’t completely understand. I feel as though as I learn something new, like finding another piece to the puzzle that which is Videodrome. Aside from crimes of the future (the recent one.), that one of his films made me question the premise.
I implore everyone who liked this to look up "Martin Scorsese on Men In Black"
Taylor Thomas Brown Nancy Thomas Edward
I watched this on lsd about a year ago. It was a very incredible experience. I cried for most of it. This is one of the most beautiful works of art ever.
I do like this batman movie, but I dont like how this batman is super shy. Bruce Wayne is a recluse at heart, but he knows how to play the loudmouthed, billionaire, immature playboy when he's out in public.
I thought this film was too far out there. I haven't seen any other Tarkovsky's. And we all have our opinions. It was beautiful with the poetry but too scatter-brained otherwise for me. why are we following this woman? who are the characters? it just made no sense to me. the sound mixing was terrible. them walking in the first half of the movie sounds like horses walking, not people. I expected better and more from all of the hype of reviews leading into it. 2/5
What were the three films at the start?
yeah!!! and he wrote a book called boner🔥
This is the worst shit ever. Sin city meets the watchmen. Did a crap job in Harry Potter and Twilight. 👎
Man F$€k love!! And all you love seeking s@ckers.
Chinchón is a town I used to go with my family. I wonder why they chose it as a location.
The scene that really emphasizes the unbiased empathy was when they were in bed and Arthur aired out his insecurities in a very vulnerable way about how he wishes he knew Korean or learn it better so that he could better connect with her and her dreams
Good writing 👏👏👏
Past Lives reminded me of John Huston's The Dead. The same feeling of love, lost and sadness.
i enjoyed the movie
All I really got from it was the idea that we're all trying to find meaning in a world without meaning.
The Mandela Effect Conundrum The Mandela Effect made E.T. home phone, and turned my life into the Twilight Zone. Now I'm driving a Ford with the curly Q. It's been here a long time. Can that be true? That pigtail makes no sense to me, but they say it's recorded in history. Berenstein had some funny bears. When the stain appeared, that drew some stares. Ellis Island had a statue called Liberty, But she moved to a new locality. This new Earth is a mystery, time to learn new history. Did Forrest say is or did he say was, the internet is all a buzz. Chartreuse was red as I recall. but now it's green and that ain't all. The stop light had green on top before, now I see red there and so much more. J.C Penney has an extra e. Came from Febreeze, I do believe. The map of the world is not the same. Svalbard to me is a brand new name. New Zealand moved south. That's so lame. The North Pole is gone. Not that's a shame. The Mandela Effect is messing with me. Captain Kirk did say " beam me up Scotty." The Wizard of Oz was so much fun, before the Scarecrow got his gun. People say I'm obsessed, and that might be true, though I can't believe Hitler's eyes turned blue. The sun is white and very bright, I wonder where the moon will be tonight. The lion stopped lying with the lamb, the big bad wolf put us in a jam. Celebrities die and live again, I just can't see how that's happenin'. South America shifted to the east they say, now the Panama Canal goes a different way. Australia moved north, what a blunder, ain't no way that's the land down under. Cuba is bigger than it was before, and the Arctic Ice Cap is no more. Sally Fields used to be the Flying Nun, now her s is gone, like my yellow sun. Tom Cruise lost his shades, and that's ain't right, I know his shirt used to be white. Fruit Loops went away one day. Now Cap'n Crunch is here to stay. Darth said no, but that can't be, Luke is what I heard in that movie. The Monopoly man lost his monocle, so I have to wonder, where did it go. Mona Lisa got a name and a smile, the Thinker moved his hand for a while. Dolly had braces, that's a fact. Maybe a flip flop will bring them back. The Wicked Witch says fly, fly, fly, when her scary monkeys fill the sky. If your memories don't match what you see, you're in the Outer Limits, stuck here with me. The Mandela Effect took a hold of me, altered some things in my reality. Land masses out of place, here and there, people once deceased, now alive I swear. Movies I saw many times before, had altered and shocked me to the core. Songs I listened to in my youth, were not the same, that is the truth. What is this place, what put me here? I must be strong, not give in to fear. ua-cam.com/users/shortsoH9hlh1mUtc ua-cam.com/video/5Vb4OHW7cnI/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/yRcxjsN8zY4/v-deo.html

Did you quit? This channel has so much potential!!! Don’t stop dude, you’re so close! You have something rad going.
Thanks for the words of encouragement. I haven't given up on this channel but it has been a weird and busy time for me recently so I've put a pause on it. I am however currently working on a video that may take about a month or so to complete. I want to focus on making better content. 💯
"Rosemary's Baby" had a horrific real life twist with the director's wife, 8 months pregnant, murdered by the Manson family one year later.
The "Funny Games" remake of his own original is quite literally scene for scene the same film, and therefore unnecessary.
That same year saw the release of Cronenberg's "The Dead Zone"- One of the best Stephen King film adaptations. It was also surprisingly laid back for a director who can go wildly over the top.
Arthur is a great guy and to be fair he deserves better This Nora clearly doesn’t love him near as much as she loves HS From the way she has always looked and acted around him. But what she loves more than anything is living in the USA and her career This movie glamorises emigration; leaving one’s home & family to find a more materialistically successful life elsewhere She would have equally led a fulfilling life in Soul; maybe even became a lecturer as opposed to some unknown writer living in a mini apartment in a city filled with drug addicts, homelessness and poverty. I really liked both HS and Arthur but found this Nora incredibly selfish and obnoxious
