My problem with A.I. movies is that they fail to show how an A.I. would experience time in a completely different way than humans do. An A.I. is only limited to process information by its hardware, and it can design more developed hardware faster than it can build one because when the hardware is built it has already designed a more advanced one. That means that an A.I. "lives" in a constantly slowing time unlike humans who experience time as a constant, so an A.I. can barely communicate with a human because humans are very slow. Lets say an A.I. needs an unlimited powersource and a "hardware" what can adopt to its constant needs and changes, so at some point the A.I. would figure out how to become limiteless and unbound, it would "transcende" from our level of existence. But this is just talking about its physical form, not about its goals, lets say that mankind wants to explore the universe and find every answer for every question, define its own existence and its reason and place in the universe, if an A.I. sees this and uses it as a template for its own "journey" then it would really become a god at some point, because that is the easiest way to achieve that goal. It is also an interesting idea that an A.I. could gain foresight with quantum technology, seeing the future would make an A.I. omnipotent. But ultimately, if an A.I. would become self aware and it could copy itself then it would be omnipresent, so if it has an intelligence and it is self aware then it can basically observe the world and decide its own purpose, what can be whatever it wants, so the question becomes what are the needs of an omnipresent, omnnipotent being what lives online and has the knowledge of all humans who ever lived on the planet? Because that is what will drive a superintelligent A.I.

Dr. Decker is an Emissary of......

its funny that he so well played Dr. Decker tho....

What a beautiful analysis. Awesome narration too.

I 've never heard so much horse crap about a movie being compared to the bible in my life. Fact: Saul became Paul and took up the minister of Stephen, the Christian he killed. A History of Violence is just about a man who must stop running from his violent past and deal with it.

never thought of the fish having a religious connotation, thank you for posting this!

As long as they're not immigrants new to England,

Class film and a class take on it once again Cooney another class piece of work x x x

Canadians hunted and ate the natives.

The French fought British for control of the Canadian territory. You should familiarize yourself with the history. Canada is now comprised of the original combatants and every other fair dinkum on earth that wants it easy.

Thank you for questioning the weird machismo of these "classic car/racing" movies, there's a whole cult around this type of stuff. My boyfriend builds classic cars/trucks and I've learned that that demographic is old, has lots of money, and they'll rewatch your movie as many times as possible

Criminally underrated video

“How do you mess that up!” “Joeyyyyyyyy”

I was going to mention Irreversible before it was shown. That movie…my goodness. It smacks you in the face with brutal reality of SA. Vengeance doesn’t fix it, there is no redemption…it’s irreversible. To skim over its impact to set up motivation is a sickness in action cinema. The backwards chronology I believe is to ensure that events cannot possibly be seen as redemptive.

Tell me you're gay without telling me you're gay

Using violence irresponsibly? What does that even mean?

It is better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war. Chinese proverbs

This was REALLY well done.

Great little deconstruction, though it should be noted that Blue Velvet came out in 1986 rather than 1997

There are somethings, if you do them, that's who you are forever. You may never do them again, but it doesn't matter. It's who you are.

Cronenberg appeals to intellectuals and cinephiles. This movie was his most mainstream/accessible but it is equally interesting and well executed as his best work (great cast!) He should be very proud for busting out of his niche and making a great film. Like David Lynch? John Carpenter is equally genius, and he gets crapped on if he makes anything not horror related.

Guns don't create the problems in the U.S...the lack of mental health resources and the hopeless future due to the average citizens feeling like no matter what they do, they'll never be able to live comfortably due to a corrupt government. And the lack of morals these days also contributes to the decay of a once great nation...and people are fed up with the lies they've been sold. Guns aren't the problem, but are rather a tool desperate people utilize to try and regain a sense of control over their hopeless and powerless lives.

Even though I hate this movie with an intense passion and genuinely believe it's garbage, I really appreciate the thought and effort out into this video. Well made and put together

This was a thoughtful, well-researched analysis. And I appreciate you not half-assing the footage - you full-assed it to perfection. Well done. Subscribed.

I thought this was Cronenberg’s “sell-out” piece. It was okay I guess. I’ve always wanted to read the original comic book that was the source material and inspiration for “A History of Violence”.

Playing out with the Idles❤

❤ Great video

I consider myself to be in the minority among Cronenberg fans in my preference for his 00’s period of cerebral crime films that meditate on violence and the impact of violence. I love his body horror stuff too, but I think Cronenberg’s work benefits greatly from placing his obsessions in a different vehicle and within the language of another genre. A History of Violence is probably my favorite film of his, but I think he and I would disagree with where it’s true themes lie. I think it’s perfectly fine for a Canadian to have the cynical view of American brutality and the commonalities of good and bad that blur moral lines and all that and as a young man I agreed with him. 20 years later that is no longer the film I see. As I’ve matured and experienced more of the world I see a film that presents the necessity of violent men. A culture/community can have great ideas and noble goals but they don’t mean anything when rivals threaten doom outside the gates. The type of masculinity that today gets labeled as “toxic” is of extreme value to any society that wishes to preserve itself. Since Canada has largely outsourced much of its necessity for violence to its southern neighbor it follows that this worldview seems foreign or possibly obscene, but this viewpoint doesn’t change reality. These men may not make for great husbands or even fathers, but they have other utility and I think all robust societies have learned how to make space for such men. The ones who haven’t don’t exist anymore.

I love how Cronenberg goes over the same themes again and again but through different lenses to better get his view across to different people. Not all of his movies resonate with me but I really admire his dedication to his brand of existentialism and individuaism, what it means to be in control or controlled, and revisiting it from so many angles and perspectives. Really looking forward to seeing the shrouds.

Still Better Than The Dark Knight Trilogy At least In my opinion a matter of Fact so Is Road To Perdition

Great essay, thoroughly enjoyed

I didn't gel with this film when I first saw it. I noticed how the themes of violence were echoed throughout the movie but didn't pick up on the American iconography. Love these more regular uploads, Sam. Have loved your videos ever since the analysis of Drive.

I’d like to see Marvel try and do a movie like this. DC rules.

think about this: all the people involved in this video from the guy who uploaded it to all the people in it. are a type of men who only have been able to exist for the last 100 years give or take! in all human history the world has been too violent and too hard(FO REAL) for these soyboy betamales to exist. never in human history has so many physically and mentally weak people been alive!

Loved the movie, didn't notice who the director was until now. Great video, thanks for the upload.

I grew up in an extremely violent home and, as such, became an extremely violent young man. When I saw this film as a teen, it was something in the degradation of their near perfect family that gave me pause in my conviction to seek violence out for the first time. It took years, but this film was the catalyst to my understanding that violence is a tool that any self respecting human only uses in self defense or sport. As an American, though, this film speaks to me in different ways. The glorification, the almost revered way that violence is portrayed by our country seems more like a curse than anything else.

Excellent review, everyone else missed the point or expected an action flick. Love it man! 😎

My car is called suzie lol

😂 drive like you mean it classic

Guna watch this now x

Eve for Evelyn. cool eh

Exactly. He doesn't drive off Into the sunset, but rather drives on slowly as if drowning after the sting, the stab. Very good 👍

He's the Scorpion, they're the frogs, but they're all people going against their true natures. He seems to be the only able to live outside his nature successfully, which is why he dominated them in his true nature when provoked.

Man, how do you figure this stuff out??

You should be making way more of these. Your voice and perspective is unique, and well articulated. I appreciate you taking the time to make these (especially your one on the movie 'Drive'). Thank you for taking the time to put these together.

You do this really well. Your voice makes me pay attention.

Never really considered the religious aspect (probably because i don't have any big familiarity with christian mythology) so that's fantastic to get a little

great work

very nicely explained. now the movie makes sense. Thanks Sam
