Solid female superheroes? Or just a girly pipedream? A The Marvels (2023) review
Less than five minutes in and I'm bailing. You get names wrong, you mispronounce names, you criticize those who can't sing or dance( here's news for you, not everyone in a musical necessarily can sing or dance.) half the time you laugh as if everything that comes out of your mouth is funny.
Salem's lot was actually my introduction to David in 2004 starsky and hutch has always been an afterthought in my universe because my family were into that. Then I discovered his music career i encouraged my grandmother to purchase the debut album in 2006 roughly 30 years after it was released although she was a fan she was hesitant to buy it but I'm glad she did because black bean soup became my favorite song on that album it was the second meal I ever made as a young adult I didn't really fall in love with him until I saw him as Joshua Bolt (aka my joshie boo❤😊) then I discovered the covered man and dogpound shuffle and those are my favorites of his career I always saw him as a teacher and I was fortunate to have followed him for 8 years on Twitter and sadly lost contact just last year so my heart was beyond broken when I heard the news of his death the strange thing about the day he passed i was cleaning house and my grandmother's box of David soul collectibles like he was saying a final farewell to me then it was weighty to me because he reminded me that time i spent with my grandmother so when I heard he passed away and I just cried like a baby that night i believe i cried myself that night. Rage! Therapy scenes was so amazing and don't forget little ladies of the night 1977 with Louis Gossett , Clifton davis and Linda purl was interesting too❤
This work has not faded after 50 years. It’s still fresh, meaningful and beautiful. A great work and a stunning film.
I liked the Branagh production as a production, but I view it as "Death on the Nile" adjacent rather than as an adaptation of the book. Similarly, his Poirot is not Poirot as I like to enjoy him, and feels substantially different from Christie's creation. I enjoy it was a piece of work that is well produced. I don't particularly enjoy it as "Death on the Nile".
Anthony Shaffer composed his own jigsaw puzzle, "Sleuth". I highly recommend the movie with Michael Caine and Laurence Olivier. His twin brother, Peter, wrote "Amadeus".
Spoiler alert: Clearly, the stalking is not accepted in the book, either: Linnet is frightened by it, Poirot condemns it. It is not written or done with any kind of condoning on the part of the characters or Christie; but we know that it's an integral part of the actual plan. So I'm not understanding your take on the stalking when everyone in the story does have a problem with it, just as you do. If it's the fact that it exists at all, remember that it's part of the plan.
I like Cornelia very much, and do find her interesting, and am always sorry that she's not included in the adaptations.
Stopping at about 8 minutes in of this very interesting talk about one of my favorite Christie books. Spoilers, for anyone who hasn't read the book, please don't read what I'm writing: I do agree with you about the state of care of alcoholism during this period; but I disagree with you about how the consequences of the alcoholism are treated: Rosalie is put into the horrendous position of caretaker; her mother's reputation and depression mean that Rosalie feels she can't confide in anyone, and her character suffers in many ways, until Poirot is able to approach her and get her to confess and release, in a way that his character tends to operate. Mrs. Otterbourne comes off ridiculous, but Christie lets us understand what she was, what she is now, and why. Remember that he sees Jackie and Simon before the plot proper starts, and his first reflection is that Jackie loves this man too much. He has been affected by this observation, and part of his reaction to Linnet is rooted in this. Remember too, that Linnet is under no illusions about how Jackie feels about Simon, that twenty years old was a little more mature in the 1930s than it is now, and that she is already in charge of her vast estate; knows how to read and interpret legal documents; and is, generally, an intelligent and feeling young woman. She and Jackie are old friends and she is also aware of Jackie's background and emotional inclinations. Everyone in this story is responsible for their own actions, and this includes Linnet. Poirot's conversations with Jackie are, for me, the heart of this book: the way he approaches her; comprehends her (from what he knows at this point in the novel); the way he urges her to turn away, and the sorrow with which he greets her when she turns up again: these are all strong scenes, strong conversations, and contrary to what I feel you are saying, he does do what Linnet asks him to do; but there isn't any action he can legally take: Jackie, at this point, is doing nothing criminal: she has paid her passage, she is free to travel wherever she wants or can; here in Egypt, he can scarcely be expected to draw up something like a restraining order. He can't chain Jackie to a chair in her room. All he can do is what he can, and to that degree, he does a heartfelt very best. He doesn't know Jackie and Simon's end goal at this point, and so he cannot be expected to expect what happens.
I stumbled on this video over a year later while thinking about how much I love this movie. It was delightful hearing your opinion! I wonder, would you ever be interested in opining on Michiel de Ruyter (2015), set in the next decade? As an American I found it really interesting, sometimes beautiful, but also confusing and sometimes somehow "off", and like Restoration I keep thinking about it over the years. I would love to hear more English-language opinions of it and how it handled (or didn't handle) themes of nationalism, republicanism, colonialism, Dutchness, etc. I felt like it was trying to make some comment about looking back upon the image of one's past, but because I don't have a deep context for it I'm not sure I fully understood what conclusion it came to.
Michiel de Ruyter specifically is a Hero of Dutch history, and that movie was already on my list to review. Already, it's much newer and made by the Dutch, for the Dutch, and so certain nuances will be very different from any English or American take on that time, LOL! Glad you liked the review! We try to do all sorts of stuff, so stick around and be surprised!
Gosling wrote the tribute the history of stunt performers that he and Emily do at the Oscars. ua-cam.com/video/caXdWHZvTyw/v-deo.html
Aaron Taylor Johnson is 10 years younger than Ryan Gosling and wishes he looked as good or is built as good. .
The genetic lottery sucks... for some but not others.
Ryan Gosling actually wanted Jody to be more. I think the thumbs up is important and eventually she realized it. Maybe he didn't want her to have to deal with him not being alright. The guy, dressed like Gosling, who pulls him out of the car is the guy who broke the record on the roll and Gosling presented him with the award at an opening. The hat scene was also one Gosling wanted in because she wears the hat a lot because she gets sunburned, and he thought it would be cute in the movie. In one interview she talks about being Goslinged. it is the scene where she is inviting him to karaoke. When they were walking up to do another take and they both like to ad-lib she did a silly move and he said she should do it on the take. She did and it ended up in the movie and she says she looks like a dork and he is just sitting there grinning. @actualkarenokboomer3158 @actualkarenokboomer3158
He's right (no surprise there). this movie is better with her in it, we don't live in a vacuum after all. And yes, karaoke is designed to make you look like a dork. She did it very well.
Women Need to Realize that THEY are the REASON for this Made up term "Male Toxicity" Men are ALWAYS Expected to Shut up and Don't Complain and Better Dare Not Cry!

Maurice is my all time favorite book, for a lot of reasons. I don't hear people talking a lot about it, and I'm SO happy to see a full video essay dedicated to it. I haven't watched it yet, just wanted to express my joy :))
I loved the analysis of the movie. It's like you say, Henry's love at first sight and his rude attitude towards Alex not to show it that made Alex believe all the time that he hated him; with the climax being the cake scene. From there, forced to feign friendship, they realize that everything was a misunderstanding and friendship begins to emerge. Henry was always clear about how he felt about Alex, and Alex was attracted to Henry (as he admits in the scene when he tells Nora that he kissed him). It shows you two different worlds, that of Henry suffocated by the responsibility of belonging to the Royal family and that of Alex who is freer (something we see in the raft scene). The performances are wonderful, from everyone actually. Nick and Taylor give us the best Henry and Alex we could have (especially after I read the book and they were very loyal to the spirit of the characters) Greetings from Argentina!🇦🇷🇦🇷
They announced they are doing a sequel. Great review. I loved this movie also. The chemistry between Henry and Alex is everything.
❤❤❤
13:51 I think we were in the beginning of a new wave of epic historical war movies that was sparked by Braveheart in 1995. Then we got Gladiator, Troy, Alexander, Kingdom of Heaven, probably some others. The Last Samurai. My theory is that 300 ruined it by diluting a historical movie with the elements of two other popular trends of the early aughts, e.g. comic book movies and fantasy. Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter were so popular as were the X-Men and Spiderman movies, and 300 tried to throw it all in one, and it worked in the sense that it was popular at the time, and I blame that on adolescent boys who played too much God of War and thought it was real Greek mythology. But 300 shifted the whole tone of what would follow. Hollywood then chased after what would be the next epic family fantasy, and if it wanted to be more serious, it was dumbed down and had that silly video game athletic. The Chronicles of Narnia The Spiderwick Chronicles Percy Jackson Eregon The Golden Compass Clash of the Titans Conan Hercules Where are the movies for adults? And kids can grow up enjoying and appreciating this type as well, which I think is preferable to the other type.
Yep,those movies you listed are for kids. Serious Roman epics started with - Quo Vadis The Robe Ben Hur. Then the 1960s - Spartavus Cleopatra Fall of the RE ( best Roman epic ever made). Italian sword and sandal movies - Peplum - were low budget trash.Unwatchable.
@@richardscanlan3419 Yep, I'm a big fan of the "epic" genre, I only haven't seen The robe or Quo Vadis because I think I should check out the books first. I liked The Fall of the Roman Empire, but couldn't rank it as better than Spartacus.
@@Luxington1 Each to their own.Highly recommend you see The Robe and Quo Vadis,they are both top notch. On your second point,a lot of people feel the same way.But for me,FOTRE breaks the mould,,as it doesn't centre around Christianity - which so many Roman films do - but instead works on what made the RE tick. Put it this way,it was more cerebral than most Roman epics.
Wow... what a wonderful review! So fair to recognize its faults and to speculate on possible reasons why, and so knowledgeable to appreciate work well done. I lean more to the choice of 1830s dresses because they look more fabulous than simple Regency frocks on screen, as opposed to the war of 1812, which few Americans even remember -- indeed, they call it the Forgotten War, perhaps because they basically lost :)
History is funny with odd similarities. And yeah, I think the 1830s dresses are fab too! Glad you liked the review!

Love these remembrances of some notable parts of David Soul"s amazing work and career! Thank you for taking the time to put this together. What a treat for his fans! He definitely was not your average anything! From getting mauled by a bear cub for his very first TV role in the Flipper series to the stage! He was such a trailblazer! Oh my goodness, what an amazing person he was, and he gave us so much of himself. May he rest in peace and power! It's great looking at David"s work through your eyes. You are right to note that he really did put himself all the way into whatever he did. He did not believe in leaving anything on the field. Just a sweet piece of trivia, he played Makora in the Star Trek episode, The Apple. How adorable he was at 23, but the makeup, oh my! You made note that you will never get bored! So true!He did so much! I agree with you about Rage! A brazen and brave role-playing choice. He had an amazing range. Excellent Ilana💜🤜🤛👏👏👏👏
We were Blessed to have been part of the generation to bear witness, enjoy this multi-talented David Soul. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Unsub was more precursor of Criminal Minds...right up to ensemble cast and air plane and interactions.
Ah yes, you're right. 👍🏻 I'm not much of a procedural watched, so I'm not that familiar with them. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I was the same, I listened to the album first. My mother bought it when I was younger. Later I saw this film.
Moms can be very hip, LOL!
I was at the stage production of Jesus Christ Superstar this past Good Friday, March 29th, 2024. I saw the movie in 1973 with my mother at the drive-in. I was 9. I turned 60 on the 25th of March. It was a present from a friend of mine. Because I still play the movie over and over and over and over. I know all the words. To see it performed by others and not the people I've listened to for 50 years. I was blown away by seeing the Rock Opera after all this time. Just fabulous!!!! God Bless ✌️✌️ & ❤❤
Actually you CAN see Jesus/ Neely in regular clothes, but you have to look closely...During the "rock-out" section of the Overture, when they lay down the cross, you can see him walking off the bus in a greenish shirt and walking over to the cross looking down at it...then if you look closely, you can see him in the middle of the circle of disciples taking off his shirt, just before he makes his main appearance. I enjoyed your video and that you had good things to say about the film.
Yeah, I saw that when I was looking through the screen shots, when editing. He's wearing a gray shirt so he doesn't stand out until they want him to; very craftily done. Glad you liked the video!
Between the release of the concept album and the Broadway musical there was a ‘staged concert’, performed by many of those who went on to play Broadway. It opened at the Pittsburgh Civic Arena, 12 July 1971.
BIG RED BUTTON!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ And congratulations!! 🥰
We love our big red button!
Well done, congratulations on your first 100!
the movie caught what i think was the feel of israel at the time: a psychic and physical pressure cooker where things were about to blow sky-high at any moment...
TED NEELY has 50 YEARS doing Jesus Christ Superstar!!!
Well done. Very thoughtful.
I showed my boyfriend and house mate the movie 2 nights ago. We're all musicians and my boyfriend is a cinematographer and they both absolutely loved it even though they dont like musicals usually. They say that even today the production of the music still holds up and they already want to watch it again. I think that says a lot about how timeless Andrew lloyd Webbers music truly is. They've been singing everythings alright for 2 days now 😂
This movie does that a lot: appeal to an unlikely audience, LOL
It's true, everything is in the music. A couple of weeks ago I attended a scemi scenic rendition of Bach's Matthäus Passion by @LuthersBachEnsemble and with this oratorio everything is definitely also in the music. But the subtle stage play does expand the story which is being told. And no singer is carrying a book around (except for the evangelist because that is kind of his image) and the singing sounds a lot better and more free.
I most enjoy when there is full acting involved, but that can be determental to the music, and in this movie they found a happy medium, I'm happy to say. Just imagine: the Matthäus Passion as a Rock Opera! Would be so awesome!
@@twopeoplesopinion I think it would be fun to have Matthäus Passion played with rock instruments and in a sort of matching setting and JCS with baroque instruments. It could be very interesting! And both works would translate well I think. Bach basically is the grandfather of modern music!

good review of a classic movie. love and like from india
Thanks! Great to hear from so far away!
Thank you for a great review!
I do not know anything about our host(ess) or this site, but I look forward to following it. I really enjoyed the narrative style and felt as if I were part of a college seminar on film and that Arwen was the professor. I have never seen Anna Christie, only a clip of her ordering the drink. Now I'm very anxious to see the whole film, especially with all of the insights gained from this presentation. May also watch the German version. Thumbs up for an entertaining and enlightening presentation.
I found this film (these films) to be a surprisingly interesting project. Glad you liked what I did with it! Yes, worth seeing, either version.

Leuk om ook eens een Nederlandse film te zien hier!
I wish they'd done the movie starting with the young boy Napoleon Bonaparte. Take us through his background and how he became such an amazing force in the military. I think you have to do the Emperor part and the defeats in Moscow and Waterloo. But basically go for Napoleon the man, rather than here are some battles. But that's just me, female audience, and that's generally not what they, male director want to film!
Maybe could have save the movie if they'd cast Michael Rennie as Peter, which he played in The Robe and Demitrius and the Gladiators!
I have a fluffy-ish rom-com screwball comedy for you from the 1970s--What's Up, Doc starring Barbra Streisand and Ryan O'Neal. Luagh out loud funny. It's been some time since I've watched it, but I remember laughing so hard that I was crying. And although it's not a rom-com, The Muppet Movie (the very first one ever from 1979) is pretty fluffy.
Rest in peace, David Soul. 😭 David gave us all of this and so much more. He'll get to entertain the angels, now.
I like how much can be gleaned from this window into 1947. Like the social structure of common life, and the personal economics of people. And of course the fashion! And the movie is just delightful!
This is the fixed version, YAY! 🥳 I do feel dumb for not realizing that the previous version was incomplete 😅
Yay for the full version! Accidents happen! Don't sweat it!
The movie seems like a messy mix of epic tales... Princess Fara kinda steals the show there..., And Peter's subplot feels forced... Their attempt at a credible biblical drama falls short... And yet, if a cleaned-up version surfaced, I'd consider giving it a shot - those costumes deserve a better display! Super review!
Loved the exploration of Richard III's history context and the parallel with the lady, so cool! Great points on chronic fatigue. Solid watch for history buffs? I will have to dig it up then, food for thought... Well-crafted review, tx!
Yay! Thanks for watching. We recommend this movie, definitely. And absolutely presses the button for history buffs. Enjoy! Thanks for your comment. Best wishes for the New Year.
