Hope you enjoy this one! Please suggest any other film you want to see analyzed. I would love to do it! And what did you think about No Country For Old Men? Would love to discuss!
One thing I haven't seen any videos discuss is the pool scene. The downfall for Moss comes when he succumbs to temptation from another woman, the first true betrayal of his wife. He dies because he commits a sin against the person who cares for him most, an innocent, rather than because of stolen money and his voracious nemesis. It's an inversion of expectations and also a cruel justice in its own way, teaching Moss a final lesson, and also potentially why his wife ends up dead. Haven't really seen anyone else talk about this, but the scene with the woman calling to him at the pool is significant in that it seemingly has no relevance to the plot, but has consequences. Just like the final car crash, which only by luck does not kill Chigurh.
Excellent analysis. UA-cam played another persons breakdown after this video and it does not compare. So insightful!
Wow, this is so great to hear! I'm thrilled this video was insightful because I love this movie so much and want to make sure I'm always sharing my thoughts clearly. It really means a lot, thank you so much for watching!!
I've watched DOZENS of videos analyzing No country for Old Men, this might be not only the best one, But the only one that actually talks about the deep philosophical concepts, that very few creators touch on.
Cormac McCarthy talks about concepts that really shake me to the core and make me question everything like the freedoms of immorality and heroic evil touched upon in Blood Meridian
Great analysis! Really gives insight into what is behind that movie.
Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much!! I do my best to peel back the layers and offer my perspective so this really means a lot! Thank you so much for watching!!
Agreed. But using the good the bad and ugly as an example of defined good evil undermines your point because that film was one of the first westerns to present the protagonist with ambiguous pragmatic morality
I've watched a handful of breakdowns of this movie and this is by far the best, masterful work my friend! Subbed. Nothing beats the book of course but this movie comes damn close it's a photo finish
Your analyses are always so insightful! Do you have any tips on being able to analyze movies and understand the meaning behind them as well as you do? I struggle to grasp the subtext and the deeper meanings of movies a lot.
Also would love to see you analyze "The Lighthouse" or "Oldboy"
Thank you so much! Basically when I watch the movie I make sure not to think too hard, I just sit back and enjoy the film like a regular viewer. Once it's finished, I ask myself, what was that movie trying to tell me? Or what is the movie saying about life? I just answer those simple questions in my own way. Then I think back to various scenes and how they all contribute to that greater message and what sub-themes are emerging from the film. I guess it's different for different people but that's my approach pretty much. Hope this helps!
And Old Boy seems to have the most recommendations so I won't even put it in a poll. I'll just do it for episode 7 after episode 6 (King of Comedy). Lighthouse I will certainly add to my list of future Classic Explained videos. It will be in a poll very soon! I love that movie so much!! Thank you so much for watching!!
@@lucasblue20 Thanks for the tip! I guess I really need to take my time to think about it more after watching a movie instead of looking up the meaning on youtube straightaway haha.
Would also love to see you analyze Burning! It's such an enigma of a film and getting your perspective on it would be awesome! Can't wait for your future videos!
Your channel is criminally underrated
Wow, thank you so much! There's plenty more to come and feel free to suggest!!
@@lucasblue20 hey, I think you should do silence by Martin scorsese. One of my favourite films
Thankyou for your channel!
Amazing content.
Subscribed! Your reviews are so detailed and very digestible.
Wow, thank you! It's always my goal to be clear while getting all my thoughts out, so this means so much to me. Thank you again!!
II discovered your channel w/the review of Passing. Your analysis pretty much echoed the thoughts I had not put into words. Your review of No Country followed it and since it’s a fav film of mine (and book) I decided to listen to your critique. Not so sure if I agree w/ your entire analysis… parts yes. I see that the comments here are generally favorable/complimentary. Nothing wrong w/that but I wold have liked to have read comments that had a different take to see if it matched mine. I subscribed to your Channel.
Thank you so much! It's great to hear that you have both similar and dissimilar interpretations to me in my videos. It's cool to hear when people connect with my ideas, but it's also equally cool to hear a new point of view that's really different from mine. Thank you so much for subscribing, and feel free to send me suggestions!!
Great analysis !
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed!!
your reviews are the best. I am gonna watch this movie again.
Omg thank you, you're too kind. And yeah, this movie is like a new experience upon second viewing. Enjoy!!
Great analysis. One of favorite films. I’d love to see a video on Children of Men
Thank you so much! Yes, the film is phenomenal, I can't wait to see it again. Gives me chills just thinking about some scenes. I've never seen Children of Men but I just read the synopsis and the concept really sounds looks like something to dive deeply into. I'll add it to the list of future Classic Explained videos. I'll also put it in the poll in two weeks with two other films. Thank you!!
My favorite movie, so intrested to see this one
Fantastic video 👍👍
So happy to hear you enjoyed! Thank you so much!!
This is simply amazing, by far the best analysis about this movie I've ever watched. This video answers so many of my questions. Thank you and keep up the great work!
Wow, that really means a lot because I know this movie's been analyzed a million times. Thank you! I'm so glad I could answer your questions because this movie is dense. Thank you so much for watching! King of Comedy next week! I remember you mentioned that one in your list of suggestions, I'm excited to cover it!
@@lucasblue20 you are a very nice person dude
Imagine if moss never went back to the desert that night, woulda been a short story
Listening to these analysis is like listening to poetry. Dam Lucas can break down a movie 🙂
Omg thank you so much! It's so great to hear you're enjoying the videos because I have so much fun making them. Plenty more to come, thank you again!!
love that
great job.
Thank you!!
Never watched it 😔 but have looked through the book years ago by curiosity as Yeats' Sailing to Byzantium is one of my favorite poems. Your analysis definitly picked my interest. And those actors !
Sailing to Byzantium, damn. I'm gonna give this a focused read tomorrow and get back to you. And yes, the actors are perfection! I knew it was gonna be a good movie, but it surpassed my expectations. Loved it!
@@lucasblue20 It's a beautiful poem, love Yeats elliptic fluidity (my favorite is The Mask). Throughout the book there is this sense of pessimism, disillusionment that can be linked more, if to make a reference to poetry, to Bukowski or a poem I adore from Angelina Weld Grimke (The Puppet player). BTW, Chigurh is some kind of a puppet player=cold invisible fate
I've also found, especially in the ending with those dreams, something of the Kierkegaard's philosophy related to stages in life (the paradoxe of Abraham) : from observing an ethical behavior to the inner search for faith ("in one moment he was there, there in that strange country where the suffering ones meet, but not those who have ceased to grieve, not those whose tears eternity cannot wipe away")
@@NN-mr5lw oh my god, you are like an artistic encyclopedia hahaha I’m gonna read every poem you just mentioned and enjoy them and try to see the parallels with the film that you’ve mentioned. But I did read Sailing to Byzantium (gorgeous poem) and yes I think the main theme of that poem is the same main theme as No Country For Old Men. It’s pessimistic about the present and hopeful about the future. I love the descriptions in the poem of the transcendence from body to spirit. I need to learn a lot more about poetry though, so like I said, I’m gonna read everything you just mentioned and get back to you later this week. Thank you for this!!
@@lucasblue20 wish you a good reading but it's summer, better plunge in the sea than in poetry right now😃
@@NN-mr5lw That's a good point haha ok I'll take my time with these. Thanks
No Country For Old Men is about sailing. Sailing from. Sailing to. The title of the movie leads to sailing, sailing in a poem by Yeats. Yeats leads to Virgil’s Aeneid.
The war in Vietnam ends. The war on drugs begins. Carson Wells was a colonel as mention by Bell’s sheriff friend who also mentions the green haired, bone in nose wearing youth - ties to Yeats’s poem. The missing floor in the office tower indicates CIA. The CIA is running the drug op. America itself is the violence. America and its foundation myths are what Bell can’t take the full measure of and they tie nicely back to Virgil’s foundation myth for Rome, the Aeneid. If the foundation myth that we follow lead to this, what good was the foundation myth? Vietnam, Nixon, Reagan the Cowboy, the death of the American Dream (...then I woke up). What the store clerk marries into was not only the gas station but the exact thread that leads him decades later to the coin toss. It was his fate. Fate / The FATES; back to the Aeneid, to Rome, to Greece. Chigurh only kills when he deems it necessary. He seems genuinely annoyed at the situation he finds himself in at the gas station. The clerk, and later, Carla Jean, are minor threats to him so he gives them a coin flip. It’s the best he can do. Carson is a major threat to him so Chiguhr clearly has to kill him. No flipping for Carson. This film and the novel it’s based on are rabbit holes leading to more rabbit holes. Thanks for making videos.
How many times do u have to watch this to pick all this stuff up
I just watch the movie two times before every Classic Explained. But also, I've either had years to think about the movie if I've seen it, or heard countless things about the movie if I haven't seen it. So it's just a matter of gathering all of my thoughts and organizing them into a clear, cohesive discussion. I hope that makes sense!
milk cartoon rule
Please do also there will be blood
This would be sweet. I've added it to my list for future polls. Thank you!!
No country for old men vs I saw the devil please
I haven't done the film vs film series in forever haha but maybe I could bring it back. I've written this pairing in my videos list. I'll let you know my thoughts regardless once I've seen I Saw The Devil
I think you missed the dream of the father passing him and starting a fire. It means that he is going along to die someday, join his father. its as simple as that.
I disagree , i has more to it
Greay analysis but i dont think wells represented order. I believe he was a big representation of GREED much more than sue ellen. Brolins character seemingly kept that money because he can never be looked at as anything but the toughest man in the room. Meanwhile wells is all about getting a peace of the money even if he never openly says it. Wells knows how dangerous Sugar is.
I hated the fact that moss was killed. I liked the movie, but hated that one fact
yea. there is no free will. the character of the characters unfolds under the circumstances.
When there is no hero then there’s no hope and if there’s no hope then there’s no purpose for living that’s why I don’t like this movie because the makers are basically don’t believe in God
