Heres another simple take on it. Link below. But you wanna think of what value/role a character brings to the story and its world and what does their abscence create? ua-cam.com/video/YcCSm0a2qLU/v-deo.htmlsi=WSU8KhFw9Yl36E6W
How to end a film with both climax and anticlimax at the same time: Just show how protagonist blasts his opponent with hand-cannon and immediately roll this text over screen: "mark collins, age 45, gave himself up to the authorities after the incident. he is now serving a life sentence." Credits
Scorsese's The Departed is a great example of both an anticlimax (when Leo's character gets killed, though we hoped that he'd kill Damon's character) but also a climax when Wahlberg's character kills Damon's character.
I absolutely love this channel. I'm not a filmmaker but 99.99% of the information is also crucial for graphic novels, so I learn a lot from here (that 0.01% is because I don't have to direct human beings, my actors have no choice but to stay where I draw them haha). I think the only video I skipped once was the one with the steps to make a movie because it wasn't directly related to my format... yet I still watched it later. And I still learned from that one too. Thank you so much for your time and effort.
I watch for the same reason. It's annoying to have to translate these lessons into a different medium, but it's great to have channels like this one as a resource!
That’s cool that you do that I wish I had a creative outlet like that, im good at writing but i feel like people are more into drawings than writing, I don’t have anyone to read what I write
@@Plz8662 If you like writing and you feel good about your pen, please don't be discouraged because right now it feels like no one is reading. We're more than 8 billion, there's a really high chance a lot of people will enjoy your words once they find them. Be patient, keep on writing and showing. If you ever feel like giving up, picture your favorite author deciding not to publish your favorite book or deciding not to write at all, ever. Drawings are fun, sure, but people love to read because it allows them to use their own imagination. It's a form of art that will always be needed and highly appreciated. Have fun, do what you love, don't think too much about the feedback just yet. It'll come. You'll be read. You'll be amazing.
I love how Once Upon A Time In Hollywood subverts audiences expectations two times: first the Spahn ranch section, slowly building tension as Cliff approaches the house and inside. And of course the second time its climax, (or anti climax that's actually THE climax)where most of the audiences knowledge about real events are subverted in classic Tarantino way. Even if some audience dont know about the real event, they can enjoy what is in accord with the Spahn ranch style climax.
His best movie and it isn't close he subverts his own films there in Tarantino fashion you are expecting some violent encounter at Spahn ranch but it's an old blind dude who really isn't the helpless old man we thought he was ,he seems to be weirdly at peace.
I think Abrupt Ending, works perfectly in sequel movies where a cliffhanger makes audiences to count days for subsequent movies to come. One of the good example would be how Bahubali: The Begining ended when Kattappa kills Bahubali. This made audiences so impatience that they were dying to watch the part two. God, when it finally came, the wait was all worth it.
I like the ones that leave the audience completing the movie in their own minds, reaching their own conclusion- a moral choice, for example (what will aka should the main character do?). But it is risky because, these days, the audiences want cultural fastfood full of adrenaline.
Considering the mystery ending, The Thing, such a brilliantly simple movie, perfectly encapsulates the way mystery endings work in a brilliantly simple way. We don't know if either of the two surviving characters is infected. But that means each possibility carries its own meaning. If it's either of the two, then it's a story of self-sacrifice. If it's neither, then it's a very different story, a story of how paranoia destroys hope. And if they're both infected, then it proves how even the titular Thing can't escape the paranoia it creates, dooming itself. And because the film never makes clear which is the case, all three endings are present simultaneously. I think we like stories that make a statement, but we love stories that ask a question, and leave us to contemplate possible answers. That's how the craft of storytelling becomes a conversation, rather than a lecture.
I am currently putting the story of my long-distance relationship with my girlfriend ❤ on paper, and thanks to this new video I have a clear vision for delivering the climax.
My only complaint about studiobinder is these videos are only weekly. Would still love the indie vs major studio video, bechdel test video, and now the most recent thing I can think of in terms of a character is a video covering femme fatales would be interesting. Also would love more “writing process” style videos 👊🏽 ❤ Also…. Random, because he’s so universal and can fit into practically any genre, a video on how Batman, his characters and his world are ideal for on screen portrayals. WHEN DONE RIGHT of course
The faster a content creator pops out content, the worse the content becomes. Weekly it's already quite fast. I wouldn't like if they start rushing out content. A good video will always take many days, if not weeks (or even months in long form essays) of research, writing and editing.
I like how Kingsman did their climax. Not one but three. The first one of the countdown, the second one the loading of the satellite, and the last one, the fight between Eggsy and Gazelle
Some people wrongfully take anticlimax as a "bad ending" because it lefts them without the big oomph and often requires from viewer their own interpretation
Mulholland Dr. Crushingly, terrifyingly anticlimactic wouldn't you say? Twin Peaks - Fire Walk With Me is even more tragic. Nightmares for the protagonists.
If I'm remembering correctly, the actual reason why that scene from Indiana Jones was anti-climactic, was because Harrison Ford had stomach issues, or food poisoning, and didn't feel well enough to do the entire fight scene. So, Spielberg gave Ford a break by letting him just stand there and shoot the guy.
Can u do a video on dialogue writing techniques plz. Like how dialogue writers organise and checklist on writing a scene.dialouge is a important part in film . Types of dailogue like qouteable , analytic, gossiping, planning,film style,...etc
Interesting topic! We actually do have a video on dialogue on the list. In case you missed it, we did break down some Tarantino's dialogue in this video: ua-cam.com/video/_RNpyhJK65c/v-deo.htmlsi=jroWgpaZLX_MHq3v
"No Country For Old Men" has the only possible ending for the movie that comes before it. It's right there in the opening monologue: "Papers said it was a crime of passion but he told me there wasn't any passion to it.... Told me that he'd been planning to kill somebody for about as long as he could remember. Said that if they turned him out he'd do it again." Chigurh is Death personified, totally indifferent to the fates of the people with whom chance (or destiny) brings him face-to-face. Call it. He doesn't care. He checks his boots and wanders off out into the world looking for whoever's next. A freak accident nearly takes him out -- but it doesn't because you can't kill Death (or the awareness that Death). It's always stalking every one of us. And we're all as expendable as anybody else. No passion to it.
The climax and anticlimax of the story is derived from the structure. And that decision depends on the story you are telling. --- Lesson taken. Thank you.
I have a question at the end of my story there is a big reunion of a lot of characters and a massive fight but in the end of this fight everyone including allies enemies and citizens die except protagonist. Is this a climax or anti climax?
What I'm not really getting from this is the difference between giving a climax, but just not the one you expected, and actually not giving a climax. You show Night of the Living Dead for example wherein there's an ensemble cast trying to survive a zombie onslaught of a house. The end of the film resolves this by showing who gets out and who doesn't in one grand last effort. It then shows what happens to each main character. It seems hard to argue to me that this isn't a climax just because we didn't get the ending we may have wanted for a central character. There has to be a difference between actually deflating the tension that has been building up versus letting that tension explode, just in an unpredictable way....?
4:40 The Northman is the floppest of flops... the bombest of bombs. I don't know why you guys take that as a reference. But, other than that excellent video. 👍
Can we have more Directing Styles episodes? Recently discovered and rediscovered some cool directors like Yorgos Lanthimos, Lars Von Trier and Nicolas Winding Refn...or maybe do one for some big names like Nolan, Wong Kar Wai or FF Coppola(since you've covered Sofia). Edit: My last request during David Lynch's episode included Michael Mann, Tim Burton and Guillermo Del Toro(someone also suggested John Carpenter)
I enjoyed the video but it was a pity that The Sopranos was not mentioned as a classic example of an anticlimax. In the second-to-last episode multiple main characters die and it seems as if a war will break out in the next episode. However, in the final episode this war doesn't happen and the antagonist just dies after no struggle at all before it is left very ambiguous as to what happens to Tony Soprano at the end.
One of the most terrifying anti climax is, in my opinion, the end of the original Wicker Man. There's no fighting against the bad guy, Howie was fucked the moment he set foot on that island.
Furiosa 2nd ACT anti-climax example just made me realize anther nice Charlize Theron movie 2nd ACT anti-climax within The Italian Job. I'd say most conventional heroes journey movies will have a 2nd ACT anti-climax cause of the All Is Lost turning point that's customary in such movies.
I don't think The War of the Worlds ending should be here as a poorly used deux ex machina. The 2005 movie did do it poorly but only because it missed the point, which is that humans got lucky this time. It's supposed to be a humbling experience. My first experience with that story was as a kid when I randomly found my parents CD of Jeff Wayne's Musical Version, which is very different (and much better in every way) but has the same ending with the aliens dying from bacteria, like in the original novel. But it also has the narrator talking about how we were saved by these microscopic organisms after all of mans devices had failed. We stood no chance and that is made very clear. But the 2005 movie made out like we survived because humans are the best and will always win against any other species just because we're so awesome. I *really* hate that ending. I seriously recommend the musical, it is amazing. "Perhaps the Earth belongs, not to us, but to the Martians."
This video is fair use, as it uses copyrighted works transformatively for the purposes of commentary and criticism, and the portion of each copyrighted work used is small.
Some movies would be great if have 2-kinds of ends. Plots. SOME MOVIES SUCK SO BAD. THAT THEY NEED TO TAKE THE SET and REMAKE A GREATOR MOVIE THAT ROCKS. WHAT BLOWS MY MIND IF THE MOVIE SUCKS,1/5 of the way, STOP MAKING IT.
Yeah, No Country For Old Men was a perfect example of how anti-climax ruins a story. That was a long film of "sit and wait to see what happens" with zero pay off. Barely better than that was the equally terrible There Will Be Blood which gave us blood but after sitting and waiting through more nothing.
HI. I am a subscriber to your channel and your contributions are as extraordinary as they are beautifully didactic and intelligent. But with this video, I'm sorry, and I don't say this arrogantly, but - as they say in Italy - you've made a mess of the Madonna. It's all botched, there is an amateurish confusion where you have hybridized the concept of non-aligned catharsis, with the hopes of the public, and with the concept of anti-climax; there is also a terrible confusion between the concept of anti-climax with the concept of "ending without a happy ending". In reality the problem would also be simple, since the climax is a process - a narrative "crescendo", which in reality does not have its opposite version, in essence it is a false problem. What can exist is only the climax and, at most, a climax that does not resolve the expectations relegated to the spectator's identification process. In reality, if there ever existed a real anti-climax, this could only be such if the narrative somehow regressed and annihilated the process of "crescendo" itself; and this is not what you call in the video "Anti-climax", since in reality you are talking about an unexpected ending. Which then, said in parentheses: ending and epilogue, these are also two different concepts, but now, for convenience, we call it "ending", since the concept would be good for both. The problem, we were saying, is that the distance that divides catharsis from climax - which are certainly two different discussions - is a very short and very thin distance and, while catharsis has an objective counterpart (well described by your other video in question), here the Climax doesn't actually have a real counterpart, it doesn't have any "anti-something". The climax, to put it another metaphor: has no downside. The Climax can only be lost and disregarded, but not have its "anti". It's simply a contradiction in terms. You were too hasty to try to identify a category that can actually be approached by approximation and, the icing on the cake, when you approach it, it merges with the concept of "unexpected ending and missed catharsis". The question of an "anti-climax" is a false problem and a conceptual sophistry. PS, sorry for my English, but I use an automatic translator. Good work
Thank you so much for that feedback! We do our best to condense these rather complex topics but a proper lesson would be more thorough. Just to be clear, we didn't create the term "anticlimax," this is a generally accepted concept and definition. Whether it was properly named can be debated - you make a good point that if we were to take the "anti" part literally, it would be a different concept altogether.
Your definitions are wrong. An anti-climax follows after a climax; it’s the downhill slope after the peak, the diminuendo after the double forte, the cigarette after the…
16:14 This movie is like a diamond- multifaceted. It is perfectly written and perfectly executed. I liked the Ukraine reference. 😄 THAT is even more unnerving than the whole movie- it’s meta horror that bridges movie and reality across time.
16:54 Though nicely done, the ending of the second Dune was completely rubbish, a thoroughly boring, conventional ending after the confrontation, leaving no room for the third movie. What were they thinking? 🙁
Next please do one on what makes a death in a film meaningful.
There's a video already for that

It's a good trick to save budget. You make a film with unfinished ending and people will think you are a GENIUS.

We stood no chance and that is made very clear. But the 2005 movie made out like we survived because humans are the best and will always win against any other species just because we're so awesome. I *really* hate that ending.
I seriously recommend the musical, it is amazing.
"Perhaps the Earth belongs, not to us, but to the Martians."
That’s what she said.

@@StudioBinder 🤣 oh, thank you for that. I had to.
Sometimes, it’s hard to be an adult
That's the truth!
Don't see how you have the claw ending in Toy Story as an improper use of ex machina.
That is the best example of how to use it.
Thanks for the feedback but I don't think we characterized that scene as an improper use. Just that a Deus ex machina could be a type of anticlimax.
I found myself here again - no regrets.
Welcome back!
Is the ending of the original Night of the living dead anti-climiax?
Sorry, can't give out spoilers 😉

The best subversion and anti-climax of all times is the end of the The Third Man.
Ooh, nice choice!
Toy Story is not a Deus Ex Machina since it is foreshadowed a lot of times.
That's a fair point, actually!
Cool

Video starts at 13:15 and ends at 17:00
Actually, it starts at 0:00 and ends at 18:01 😉
Gotta say licensing rights?
True
Why?
This video is fair use, as it uses copyrighted works transformatively for the purposes of commentary and criticism, and the portion of each copyrighted work used is small.
That's exactly right!
What I meant was could you do a video about how to get the rights to something?
Some movies would be great if have 2-kinds of ends. Plots.
SOME MOVIES SUCK SO BAD. THAT THEY NEED TO TAKE THE SET and REMAKE A GREATOR MOVIE THAT ROCKS. WHAT BLOWS MY MIND IF THE MOVIE SUCKS,1/5 of the way, STOP MAKING IT.
An ending must both be inevitable and unexpected. Sounds like my divorce!
Haha. Sorry to hear that!
one i remember from childhood is all censored kisses he combined from all the movies in the great Cinema Paradiso
Classic!
Yeah, No Country For Old Men was a perfect example of how anti-climax ruins a story. That was a long film of "sit and wait to see what happens" with zero pay off. Barely better than that was the equally terrible There Will Be Blood which gave us blood but after sitting and waiting through more nothing.
HI. I am a subscriber to your channel and your contributions are as extraordinary as they are beautifully didactic and intelligent. But with this video, I'm sorry, and I don't say this arrogantly, but - as they say in Italy - you've made a mess of the Madonna. It's all botched, there is an amateurish confusion where you have hybridized the concept of non-aligned catharsis, with the hopes of the public, and with the concept of anti-climax; there is also a terrible confusion between the concept of anti-climax with the concept of "ending without a happy ending". In reality the problem would also be simple, since the climax is a process - a narrative "crescendo", which in reality does not have its opposite version, in essence it is a false problem. What can exist is only the climax and, at most, a climax that does not resolve the expectations relegated to the spectator's identification process. In reality, if there ever existed a real anti-climax, this could only be such if the narrative somehow regressed and annihilated the process of "crescendo" itself; and this is not what you call in the video "Anti-climax", since in reality you are talking about an unexpected ending. Which then, said in parentheses: ending and epilogue, these are also two different concepts, but now, for convenience, we call it "ending", since the concept would be good for both. The problem, we were saying, is that the distance that divides catharsis from climax - which are certainly two different discussions - is a very short and very thin distance and, while catharsis has an objective counterpart (well described by your other video in question), here the Climax doesn't actually have a real counterpart, it doesn't have any "anti-something". The climax, to put it another metaphor: has no downside. The Climax can only be lost and disregarded, but not have its "anti". It's simply a contradiction in terms. You were too hasty to try to identify a category that can actually be approached by approximation and, the icing on the cake, when you approach it, it merges with the concept of "unexpected ending and missed catharsis". The question of an "anti-climax" is a false problem and a conceptual sophistry. PS, sorry for my English, but I use an automatic translator. Good work
Thank you so much for that feedback! We do our best to condense these rather complex topics but a proper lesson would be more thorough.
Just to be clear, we didn't create the term "anticlimax," this is a generally accepted concept and definition. Whether it was properly named can be debated - you make a good point that if we were to take the "anti" part literally, it would be a different concept altogether.

We'll add it to the list!

Thanks for watching!
Your definitions are wrong. An anti-climax follows after a climax; it’s the downhill slope after the peak, the diminuendo after the double forte, the cigarette after the…
Why in this video there are no subtitles available like every other video of studio binder.please don't do that again on the next videos
Just turn them on
They've been added now. Sorry about that!
As always: List a few films to be spoiled and spoil many more. The reason why I stopped watching the videos, gave it a try again.
Bye
Good video but please ditch the AI narrator and get some human on board. The robotic voice is so distracting.
Dude you guys are on fire! Thank you always
16:14 This movie is like a diamond- multifaceted. It is perfectly written and perfectly executed. I liked the Ukraine reference. 😄 THAT is even more unnerving than the whole movie- it’s meta horror that bridges movie and reality across time.
16:54 Though nicely done, the ending of the second Dune was completely rubbish, a thoroughly boring, conventional ending after the confrontation, leaving no room for the third movie. What were they thinking? 🙁
