thank you! I feel like when people hear that I don't like the film they're like "do you want stuff spoon fed to you?" but its not that. I just want to be given something more substantial to eat! I'm capable of eating myself, but I need some f*cking good food! Felt a bit empty.
THANK YOUUU!!! I finished the film like “yeah that was a nice looking film. But wait… did we even learn anything? Like what was the point?” Even had to look up other people’s opinions on what the “symbolism” meant, and still didn’t find a satisfactory answer
i know this isnt what im supposed to focus on, but i absolutely love that you did the video while dyeing your hair, it js feels so authentic when most yt videos these days look so rehearsed 😭😭idkkk it felt like facetime almost, it made it so much fun to listen to what you had to say
i did not watch the movie and ive only heard good things about it, but the moment you said the boys develop more than Tashi that immediately got rid of my interest for the movie tbh 😭😭 (i was expecting her to be my favorite of the film)
ahh, this was such a good video! challengers was one of those films i was semi excited for when i saw the trailer, but then after watching it, it was kind of just okay to me. i really wished we saw the characters deeper rather than their surface level, but oh well! (the score was soo good)
I really appreciate this input! I enjoyed this film a lot and spent its entire runtime just basking in the insane story and the creative camerawork, but I'm excited to rewatch it and absorb the plot with your criticisms in mind. Thanks for sharing!
I saw this video in my recommended then told myself I'll watch it after I watch Challengers. To my dismay, I couldn't find this video among all the other popular reviews/analyses/video essays but now I have been blessed with it again on my recommended and I will not forgo this opportunity for viewing.
If you are dyeing your hair with a brown-black henna dye, those usually contain indigo and henna from what I remember. I tried useing only indigo once and it did nothing but since it is blue I guess that could turn green some how? I usually bleach my hair like a week before I use henna and its fine.
She was just trying to do the right thing, maybe she didn’t believe in abortion. Is a very hot topic for the director and the set. I think the movie was shot to open the perpetuation of life events…. But is beautiful how you made this video! Love it !
@@papayapoe oop yeah I did that with another movie this year, tho it was less an accident and more just an excuse to hangout with a bunch of different friend groups
I didn’t like it either. I’m not the biggest fan of Guadagnino but I much preferred Bones and All (albeit I have my issues with that one too) the constant switching from past to present, blaring techno music over talking scenes, slow shots which go on for far too long didn’t appease me. I couldn’t connect or care about any of the characters - I get they’re meant to all be terrible people but Maren and Lee are terrible too in some ways and I still felt myself rooting for them. They’re drastically different films though I just don’t think challengers was my thing.
As a queer man I think it’s kinda weird. I see so many videos of girls saying “I want to have two boyfriends and for my boyfriends to be boyfriends like in challengers!!!1!1” which rubs me the wrong way. I was called polyamorous-phobic for that which I don’t even think is a word but I don’t think that’s why I’m uncomfortable with sm ppl saying this.
You have a sweet mindset so you missed that she was calculating. What’s better than one tennis star to carry the family?… 2 tennis stars. What’s the best way to tie yourself to a man’s wealth… marrying him and having atleast 1 child. Remember her parents weren’t multi generational money but they were well off enough to afford to put her through tennis - even her mom was calculating because she didn’t date a broke ninja - she got a money making one. 👀 also there’s a great dating book “The Rules” she follows that alittle bit. Letting the guys chase after her, leaving after only an hour in their hotel, and making sure to have a life of her own so she could refocus her energy instead of chasing down a well to do man. And arts devotion to her follows the desired result of the rules book: having a husband that’s solely devoted to you. Oh yea and when art shows that he’s not motivated to continue his career - she’s very clear that she will leave him and she’s already setting up her next mark with the other brunette tennis player (who also comes from generational wealth). She basically turned herself into the tennis ball.

I felt like that movie was a waste of my time after i finished it lol. Only good part was the tennis racket code thing in their last game

I like challengers (or maybe im just bi) but your take is really refreshing

@@_dexterr.x so glad you found your way back!

oh really?! that's super helpful to know!
Im in the same boat.. watched this movie.. and gave it like a 1 or 2 star n Letterboxd... cuz this shi garbo
'You're not a member of my fan club??'
Love the intro 😂😂not the shirt you go beast❤
i loved the movie and looooove your thoughts on it
Weird fact but you look exactly like my big sis 🥰 her yt is Astral Fusion her name is Tywezee
She was just trying to do the right thing, maybe she didn’t believe in abortion. Is a very hot topic for the director and the set. I think the movie was shot to open the perpetuation of life events…. But is beautiful how you made this video! Love it !
I like this take! That the film is just showcasing how life can happen to you. Maybe there isn't really a villain.
How come you changed the og title and thumbnail, it was pretty good?
it felt like too much haha! I can change it back, just testing things out
@@papayapoe oh okay I feel that
ok it's back now lol
Awesome review thanks for sharing
thanks for listening
new subscriber here... love your videosss ❤
welcome!!
Watched the whole video wondering this, but why did you watch it twice
great question 😅 i accidentally promised 2 different groups of people that i would watch it with them
@@papayapoe oop yeah I did that with another movie this year, tho it was less an accident and more just an excuse to hangout with a bunch of different friend groups
that too! i love a good hang :)
BROOO THE THUMBNAIL 🤣💀
it's awesome right

@@bairdsnow my thoughts exactly
What type of dye you used to get it back black? I be having the green fading problem, trying to get rid of it.
I use Reshma Beauty's Henna in the color Dark Brown!
@@papayapoe thank you sweetheart, your channel is fyee!
