Would love you see you guys review Scorsese's Silence

I would honestly really like you to do a review of Kevin Smith's film "DOGMA" from 1999, I would really love to hear what you guys honestly think of that film.?, I liked it for what it was, I didn't take it seriously, it's just a film.!, but I did think it had a very clever script and cast and the was great and it was really funny, yes I can see how it could be seen as very offensive to a lot of people, but in the end it is just film.!, I would love hear your thoughts on DOGMA.

Tremblay and the previous Pope already knew about the child and all of the details. If the information is already "public", or at least circulating, does it violate the seal of confession to acknowledge that privately to the people involved? Everyone already knows. Adeyemi lost almost all of his support because the other cardinals knew.

i think people i mean critic or some saying it have an agenda because of the twist but it don't see any agenda in the movie the pope have a real birth defect and he is not pretending and also it not even call Tran that's just how people assume it because they don't know anything about the birth defect so they conclude it a Tran agenda in the movie critic need to study more on birth defect and stop comparing to something that not real like regular men or woman trying to be what they not , also most of these pastors had big secret in the movie that is way more problematic than the new pope but again critic or so ignore that and go directly to the new pope and condemn the movie. its was a good movie and the ending made perfect Sense in the situation don't know what critic expect to happen at the end a romance ?,suicide? i guess it was not dramatic enough so let put Tran agenda lol wow nothing make people happy huh

Hunchback was my favorite as a kid, even though it dealt with dark subject matter, I enjoyed the catholic imagery of it, the music. As an adult, it's like wow, how did this movie even get made? 😆 Frollow is really scary because he seems a bit too real, terrified me as a kid.

Also the other thing which makes this scene horrid: "Hmm, yes, lets go take the information from that lady which I got in the Confessional and then go to exceptionally powerful man whom she has just said is engaged in grievous sin. Surely this could have no negative consuqences for the woman whatso ever"

Excellent video! Cheers and RIP Mr. Lynch.

There is an exceptionally easy way to solve this entire scene: Have Cardinal Lawrence confront Adyemi. You could have an emotional scene where at first Adyemi denies everything but theres clearly something and he's breaking under the weight of his Sin and then have Lawrence offer to hear his confession. Hear the confession, and then have the emotional moments at the end where Lawrence tells him 1. It would be wrong for him to keep pursuing this ambition in light of his sins and 2. He won't get it because the Cardinals are afraid of scandal. There, Ive fixed it.

Fun and interesting conversation, but ascribing motives to the movie saying it has an agenda or is anti-Catholic is bizarre. The writers clearly want to make good drama, which doesn’t mean it’s trying to tear down the church. It’s like saying a medical drama that is inaccurate has bad motives.

Very interesting discussion. I had just watched the film last night and while I found the cinematography and acting to be top notch. I found the actual meat of the film to be rather dull. It felt like they were trying to be provocative in the storytelling but instead everything was portrayed rather black and white with nothing really new to say. With most of the cast being portrayed very two dimensional aside from Lawrence who at least had a bit more character. I still enjoyed the film for the most part. Not quite in my favorites of the year. But still a visual feast with some great performances.

This movie was based off a book. It told the story of the book. Did not have to "research" anything. It was a fictitious drama. Not a documentary. To treat it as such makes it more important than it is. And makes you two seem not connected to reality. May i suggest you review "The Wizard of OZ" next. Can talk about what insight the movie gave to life on a Kassas farm. Makes as much sense as what you are doing here.

I thought the Pope was infallible by definition. So, wouldn’t his "reform" also be in accord with the workings of the Holy Spirit? Or... if someone makes a progressive move, are they definitely an EVIL person-even if it's the Pope? Even if it's God? Following this line of thinking, we arrive back at the Euthyphro dilemma very quickly. Also, Benitez's condition was discovered by accident during an unrelated surgery. Since this condition is purely biological and could only be diagnosed in the last half-century, there is a nonzero probability that the Roman Catholic Church has already had priests, cardinals, or even a pope with this condition over the past millennia. I wouldn't be surprised if the chain of apostolic succession had been broken countless times (for many different reasons) and couldn't actually be traced back to the Apostles. Maybe if autopsies had not been banned by the Church for almost 1,000 years, this kind of condition could have been taken into consideration earlier. (And the knowledge of human physiology and the quality of healthcare would be 1,000 years more advanced than today. And yet, some say we shouldn’t call that era "dark"...)

I bounced off some parts of this film. I don't think it is his strongest work. It might be his most technically competent film, but I just didn't feel as much for it as I do his other films. Some of the performances were flat in places, and some of it was redundant by repetition, and these two things are somewhat exacerbated by its slack pacing. In contrast to The Witch where every moment is powerful and another inch towards despair. And in contrast to The Northman where every moment seems epic and seems like the most important thing to be chronicled in that world in that time. I think Lily Rose Depp's physical performance was phenomenal but I have (and this is probably quite shallow) a cynicism towards dry crying and she didn't quite draw me in emotionally as much as she might have. I respect her performance but I didn't feel it as much as I wanted to. I will say though that the Dracula's castle scenes were incredible. Orlok was terrific, the best singular portrayal of a character I have seen in a long while, both in terms of the sheer talent and commitment of Skarsgård's performance, and in terms of the direction and artistic framing. But Nicholas Halt was my way into the film. His performance was the one that stuck with me the most. I think it was wonderfully subtle, and there were many levels to his portrayal of terror. I really believed him, and felt it. I just could not look away from Halt's performance, as Orlok's voice reverberates and imposes his gravity from off screen. And I believe that's what Eggers intended from the scene.

Thanks for this moving tribute to a great film and a great soul ❤

My third favorite Lynch, behind Mulholland Dr. and Blue Velvet. Lynch displayed his versatility with the The Elephant Man and Straight Story. I loved the melancholic guitar work in the Straight Story, similar to the vinyl string guitar work in Unforgiven and The Deer Hunter.

Wow- what a great job you did on this. Beautiful!

It's a movie not a documentary.

Thank you for this lovely wrap on Lynch's career. Not a big film buff and not a fan of Lynch's more nightmarish work, I saw this film not knowing it was a Lynch film. I have mostly known Lynch from his talks on art and found him fascinating, with his tsunami of hair and his surprising nasally voice and deep affection for life and art (and meditation).

Richard Farnsworth IS Alvin Straight. While Alvin's arc of the story objective is clear pretty much throughout the movie, I just didn't want it to end because Richard delivers such a magnetic performance. And with Angelo Badalamenti's score, and all of the other lilting performances, it is complete seduction. A film that not only has lasted well, it will continue to do so. Miraculously, I see that to travel that journey by car would take just under 5 hours.

Please take it as constructive criticism: You guys did an awesome review of the movie. However it was missing a bigger discussion on the faith perspective. Analyzing better analogies, symbolism etc. Despite that missing it was a great discussion. Check some older YT videos from Bishop Barron when he analyzed movies, it could give you guys some ideas.

I will never understand why people think that fictional movies and books need to represent anything accurately. It is a quite good movie - particularly regarding costumes, cinematography and the editing. The script is a classic story of political intrigue which could almost be put in any royal court in the world at any point in history. And it very vaguely and broadly relies on the long history of conclave for its premise - which, yes, did sometimes get VERY political backstabbing and conspiratorial. No honest Catholic should be pretending the Church hasn't had its moments in history where it operated in quite spurious ways. It's just part of the long history of the institution.

God bless you. This video has the compassion of Christ that Lynch always channeled into his art.

This film is my least favourite Lynch film. He made this film as a favour to his editor. It's hardly something he would have taken on had she not convinced him to. This film reminds me of the ABC after school films of many years ago. Just because it is like every other boring film doesn't make it good. It's a lot like giving the Oscar to the fattest actress in the world, not because she made a wonderful performance but because it was SO unexpected that a fat person could perform. It was SO unexpected that Lynch could do a PG rated film. Well, her role wasn't great and neither is this film. This film is an average film with a very weak script and even weaker acting. He has made many other films a hundred times better.

Excellent analysis sir!

great ! thanks for this ..

Beautiful tribute. Every scene is a gem. The bundle of sticks left by the pregnant girl (that's family), the conversation with the Priest in the old french cemetery (...well, i say Amen to that...) and so many more. Cheers from Italy.

The world has lost an amazing person, and a great artist.

I love this movie

This movie means a lot to me.. It really changed my life when I first saw it as a 10-year old in the early 2000's, and its crazy how my life really is the result of this movie and David Lynch's mastermind. At first it made me want a John Deere 110 garden tractor (which I finally got when I was 25), then I got into repairing small-engines, which has been my way of living for soon to be 15 years, but it also made me get into filmmaking and storytelling. And lastly it made me take a smiliar trip in the US (by car) to try to reckoncile with a loved one.. Thank you David Lynch.

there are straight stories everywhere , you just have to be aware and enjoy them. Stories that only poets can tell. And sometimes only poets can enjoy. David was a high priest among american artists and knew how to deal with all the spiritual forces. The darkest and the brightest. A true neutral angel.

It streams on Disney+ Well done Evaluation of a gentle heart.

Ummmm this is sad …if you have that limited knowledge on the horror genre . My kids when they were 5 knew more about this than these guys.

I saw The Straight Story when it was first released. I had no idea what to expect from a G rated David Lynch film being produced by the Disney company. But whatever trepidation I had going in were quickly allayed and fell into this simple and beautiful little story. I wasn't so put off by the lack of those Lynch touches of violence and weirdness and just went along on this journey. The one scene that never fails to make me tear up is when Alvin and another veteran of World War Two share an experience that has lingered with them all these years. It's Alvin's story of accidentally shooting one of his own platoon that hits me the hardest. I imagine many vets have that one particular memory that will never go away no matter how long they live. He even sees killing German soldiers who were no older than himself as very disturbing. Richard Farnsworth gives a stunning performance throughout, even when he was dying and struggling with pain while filming. The scene when the shopkeeper is beside himself when he has to part with his beloved grabber is probably the funniest moment. This is a very special film and I'm glad that David Lynch saw the potential to bring it to life. Sadly films like this are a dying breed. I grew up in the 70's and enjoyed these types of "slice-of-life" films. There was no great drama and it rested on the strength of the characters as we enter their lives for a brief period of time. I imagine not many nowadays would sit through The Straight Story and not become bored and restless in a very short amount of time, immediately pulling out their iPhone to find something to perk up their limited attention span. The "deer lady" does make me cringe a bit. The performance is almost comical. It was at a 10 when maybe it should have been at 6 or 7.

Lovely movie. It's a Disney release starring Richard Farnsworth ("The Grey Fox," "Misery," "The Natural") but it also has a well-known supporting cast, including Sissy Spacek (friend of Lynch's and wife of his long-time production designer, Jack Fisk -- the guy who pulls the lever in "Eraserhead"), Harry Dean Stanton and Everett McGill (Big Ed in "Twin Peaks"). So, it's never been "lost." It's always been available. People just have to know it's there.

This movie was definitely made by the same tribe that had their tables flipped over by Jesus.

Paris Texas kinda vibes. Id imagine Dave was good friends with Gus

Great essay. One of my favorite movies. Interesting regarding the sound design, something to add. Lynch is really fascinated with the elements. You can see this in the scenes with sound you showed: observing the rain in the barn, the sound of air as the bikes go by, the house on fire that the people are watching.

David Lynch is not meant to be understood

Thank you for this.

Thank you Film Club and Michael. This is a very gentle obituary on David Lynch. Great choice to take Straight Story for it.

I was collecting vhs, and picked this up, saw it was Disney, and then… David Lynch? It was like a dream where you see something made up that seems real because you’re in a dream so you believe it. Then when you watch it and it doesn’t seem to make sense, but it’s totally Lynch.

Damn, you nailed it. The Straight Story is the eye of the duck. Of course it is.

Absolutely brilliant video. A shining star of video essayd in an oceon where most of them fucking suck. Ur passion really comes through, i love it. Please make more. I love this video.

This was exactly how it was for me. The first few movies that I saw (including Twin Peaks) were just very freaky and confusing and I loved them for that, but Straight Story revealed how immensely earnest he was and how beautiful he saw humanity, made me look at all of his work completely differently, even Inland Empire. Watching Straight Story felt like completing a puzzle where I was missing a massive chunk of the image that completely obscured what I was even trying to complete. Very sweet video, deeply miss David, my favorite artist

I watched this film for the first time just few days before David died. In my thoughts and dreams, that was a fitting finality, with regards to my journey with him on this planet.

I loved it when it came out, its a portrait

I showed this movie to my grandma and I just loved how much she enjoyed it, she told me how much Alvin reminded her of her own dad

My favorites change with the wind, but this is typically in my top 3 Lynch films. One of the great underseen masterpieces of American cinema.

THE best director and movie creator that ever walked this Earth. David Lynch.

Very thoughtful and well done. We are all vessels of God but David seems to have been given a special role..to explore and share feelings about the depths of His handiwork. Extremes good and evil, all for a purpose. Grace and peace
