Maybe I missed it but you didn't give a shout out to the narrator who made this film possible

Sorry. Wrong Macbeth.

I would argue that Jesse isn't the main character. The real main Character is Bob Ford. It's told through the myth of Jesse James but it's really more of a character study with Bob being focused on the most

cool software does silverfast work as a standalone ie my process would be scan with sony camera convert neg in silverfast and output as dng is this possible with the silverfast software thanks for the vid good job.

great video keep the good work up

what size of lenses you think he used?

This movie ruined almost every other Western for me. It was so unbelievably cinematic and hypnotizing that all other Westerns to me just pale. I generally describe it as the Apocalypse Now of Westerns…it’s art, it’s poetry.

Everything is perfect. The script is poetic and in perfect old American english. The cinematography is simply astonishing. The music is a masterpiece. The story is incredible. Perfect

daguero type(sic?)

In the scene after Ed Miller’s death, when they’re questioning the boy out in the barn, Jesse keeps asking for Jim, and I could never figure out who he was talking about, I’ve gone to IMDB to find the character Jim and I still can’t find him, is he talking about someone who doesn’t show up in the film and it’s just a callback to someone else not in the movie or is it a character of a different name that everyone calls Jim..? If anyone can explain this I would appreciate it…

Thank you for this. Can you do the one where she’s at the restaurant and the old man crosses from left to right in front of her? Smoke rises from the back.

I share your love of this movie, both artistically speaking as well as from the character driven aspect. I could write a 10,000 page essay on all the nuances of this film, but suffice it to say, you summed it up extremely well! The actors are phenomenal in their renditions of each character. I ran into and spoke with Jeremy Renner in Reno NV a few years after this film was made and he was honored to be a part of it. Sometimes all the pieces of a puzzle fit perfectly in cinema.... this was one of those. Perhaps the most underrated film in the modern era. This would be in my top 5 "trapped on an Island" films along with Citizen Kane, Cool Hand Luke, Alien, and The Godfather.

As a gen-x at 47 and a landlord this was every female tenant's half retard boyfriend and why her parents never came by to see them!!😂😂 Sadly the part is the boyfriend wants to tell me his story or plight in life 😮 with me thinking shit this is more time I will never get back in life 😢😅

BANGER

One of the most beautiful movies ever made - a true masterpiece! Thank you for these wonderful videos!

I just finished watching your vid on Jesse James! Was great and waiting on part 2. Sounds like you might be done then?

I am a 36 year veteran of the animation industry, and i spent roughly 15 years at dreamworks. i was the head of story on how to train your dragon 2, and roger deakins worked on the movie. his office was next door to mine. (he was not at the office very often) i got the opportunity to pick his brain about this movie, i was in love with the 'look' of this film and was curious how they achieved the warbly, warped look of some of the establishing shots. one of the tricks he said they used is smearing the front of the lens with vaseline! just a tiny amount wiped around the edge... (i would NEVER do this to any of my own lenses but it was neat to hear him say it) apparently this is an old trick in film!

We can be as friendly as pigs from now on !

Such a good movie. I like that it doesn't shy away from JJ being portrayed as a psychotic murderer. Which he was. He participated in several mass murders. Whether it was killing innocents in Kansas or executing Union soldiers. He was a confederate traitor who was more than happy to take up arms against the United States to keep slavery in its place, or in his mind, create a country based on white supremacy and human bondage. He continued even after the war ended. His grave is a wonderful place to take piss if you happen to be in the area. I highly recommend it.

43:55 - where's part 2?

very nice video Ben, and it's in my top 5 movies ever

I am scanning slides, but this was still very helpful

I certainly harbor a similar glowing attitude toward the sublime cinematic aesthetic perfection on display in renowned efforts like Bernardo Bertolucci & Vittorio Storaro's "The Last Emperor", Michael Mann & Dante Spinotti's "Last of the Mohicans" or Terrence Malick & John Toll's "The Thin Red Line" - but also in particular those other under-appreciated gems like Adrian Lyne & Howard Atherton's "Lolita", Martin Breast & Emmanuel Lubezki's "Meet Joe Black", Scott Hicks & Robert Richardson's "Snow Falling on Cedars", and James Gray & Darius Khondji's "The Immigrant". Justin Kurzel & Adam Arkapaw's "Macbeth" defintely shares that rarified air of wildly successful exercises in iconography through the fetishistically fine-tuned tenebrism inspired lighting, compositons, kinetics and contrasts so uniquely effective to the milieu of cinema at its most sterling.

Awesome postmartem

I’ve always loved this movie because of the cinematography and soundtrack. Roger Deakins is the best. Would love to see you do an analysis of Blade Runner 2049.

This movie is slept on.

Please don't compare this film to anything by the Cohen bros. This film is on a much more higher level of quality than ANYTHING that the self righteous brosnan ever produced or directed

Ngl don't like that this is associated with the Liefeld it's something completely different

Thank you for this video about this movie which is one of my top 5 greatest movies ever! This movie deserves to be much more talked about <3

There's a reference to the train attack in Red Dead Redemption, it tells how this is is iconic <3

This isn’t a movie. It’s art.

It really is a masterpiece. If it hadn’t been released the same year as There Will Be Blood and No Country For Old Men, it likely would have received far more acclaim. Brad Pitt delivered a timeless classic of a performance in this film that should have received far more recognition. The cinematography by the great Roger Deacons some of the best he has ever done.

This frame by frame series is INCREDIBLE. Thank you man. Your and @wanderingdp my major mentors. Thank you.

I loved this analysis. I couldn’t believe that you had done it on one of my favourite movies. I always knew it was brilliant, but didn’t know why until I watched this. I hope you do part two.

7:19 God damn, i remember i had already seen the slide about dying around the fire, but for some reason i just couldn't figure out how to die with the artifact while close to the fire. The answer was under my nose the entire time.

Your T.S. Elliot quotation has two spelling errors. The word its is used twice with apostrophes, incorrectly. These apostrophes are superfluous in this context. They serve no purpose. The spelling should be just ITS. This shows belonging. Your use is the contraction of 'it & is'. A small point, yes, but important.

I was 17 when this came out and it blew my mind. I was just getting into art and cinema and chose to write a school essay analysing this movie. I loved writing it and studying all the beautiful details of this story. Your video is awesome and it really took me back to my own time seeing this movie. Thank you!

I struggled for years getting sharp scans out of Silverfast and a V600, I found that scanning at 3200ppi then downsizing the image resolution in photoshop to the effective scanning max resolution (1560ppi for V600). In post apply Nik Collection Sharpening FTW!

Really excellent and concise video - been using this method and its been working great :)

why is this so hard? Back in good old days did people struggle to get good colors from film as well? Seriously all this software is just waay too much process. There should be a quick, easy batch process with couple of clicks that gives good results. I shoot film for years now and more often than not the colors are horrible and each photo takes long time to bring it to something good/acceptable. I paid for NLP, SilverFast, Lightroom & photoshop. Nothing works well for color film. (((

Alright im convinced, trying this one asap

This is my #1 film. Great video. I couldn’t find a part 2, but I’d definitely watch if you made it. Thanks for the content.

Totally agree. This film's cinematography is stunning!! Good analysis video :)

Thanks for elaborating on elements that make the movie great, but most can’t articulate. The performances always made me love this film. From Jesse’s menace throughout, he always knows something everyone else doesn’t, to Bob Ford changing from worship, to fear and worship, to absolute terror, then to Charlie’s uncomfortable attempts to create trust with Jesse, laughing when Jesse laughs even though the story isn’t actually funny, and of course Ed Miller’s frightened recluse.

Hey Ben, thanks for this awesome video. Can’t imagine how long this took to organise, but appreciate the diligence and hard work. Mainly commenting to see if we can still get that PART 2 (lol)! Thanks either way, very entertaining and educational video

My favorite film of all time! A modern masterpiece

This dude thinks its genius that the star of the movie is situated at the center of the frame. Whoah!

Amazing video. Couldn’t have said it better, this game is so special.

Great points man. For me, plain excel have been the way.
