Since I'm just starting this channel, I'd really appreciate it if you enjoyed this video and shared it with others :) my twitter: twitter.com/LancellotiFilms
I cannot tell you how beautiful this movie was in a theater with excellent audio equipment. The normalcy of their lives is depicted so well and the movie in itself would be mundane and boring if not for the audio, and the highlight of the background. Train whistles, a cloud of smoke from the steam engine as it rolls on by. The viewers knowing exactly what that train is. The smog in the air, hanging death. Smoke from the smokestacks, wailing, screaming, gunshots, screaming German officers. As the movie progresses, it almost becomes commonplace for us, and falls into a sort of white noise. If you're not focusing on it, you almost forget, just like the family the movie is centered around. The grandmother in the movie reflects the audience so well and is such a powerful character. At first, I felt a sense of disgust as I watched the film, as it almost seemed we are meant to sympathize with the Nazis. Truly a masterclass representation of the significance of audio. You could call this moving Come and Hear. EDIT: I posted this at the 5min mark and the fact that you stated much of my comment nearly verbatim around 5:45 is wild.
Did you know they made the movie and sound entirely separately? They called it movie 1 and movie 2. That made sure that actors would really ignore the sounds and play "as if nothing was amiss". I found it exceptionally clever as, indeed, part of the movie horrifying aspect is how they could ignore the sounds around them (the meaning of which we know all too well ❤️🩹)
Another thing about your comment on "we get used to the sound". The audio team had the exact same issue when working on it. They asked each other at some point after working on it "why did you decrease the sound volume?". Well no one did... In order to maintain the sound atmosphere, they actually have to slowly increase the sound volume over the movie because our ears are just getting used to it so quickly. It's simply terrible to be confronted to how easily our body adapts to such a horrifying reality
@@marinepigneur7252 just had a thought. It would have been amazing if they had done a series of 2 take scenes. One with the background sounds as a character that the actors heard & reacted to in a somewhat "in character" natural way. And some other takes where they did it the same way you said they filmed the whole production. It would have given some amazing differences of character to see. Because if the actors were good enough ( and they probably were ) there would have been lots of suppression and haunted glances etc. As they would understand that Nazi’s don’t see or hear what the regime says they must not. Yet as people they do. Until their hearts and senses are hardened ( as I’m sure they soon would be )
Yeah, I’m always surprised by how shitty the algorithm is. This channel is right up my alley yet it took forever for it to actually be recommended to me. Despite the fact that I follow a bunch of other good film analysis channels. Ugh fkn UA-cam.
Very powerful video. Detatchment is one of the scariest things there is, for sure. From dementia to borderline personality disorder to depression, it threatens the very state of all of our lives, whether for better or for worse, and there's nothing to be done about it. Terryfing how someone can see blue where you see red. How can someone can hear fireworks where you hear bombs. How someone can hear nothing while you hear screams. Disturbing is made out of detachment.
My favorite part of the film is when it cuts between Höss reading a story to his kids and the girl shot in IR hiding fruits for the concentration camp victims, such a great way to show that there are many sides to evil people, most of them being what we consider normal and that in a situation like that, any altruistic thing you can do, like the girl does, is a black and white choice, you either do something altruistic or you're at least a silent accomplice in the evil. I really think Glazer is the greatest working director currently, this and Under the Skin are true masterpieces of modern cinema.
I had the (dis)pleasure of seeing this movie in Berlin just a few days ago. An absolutely magnificent work of art that makes you aware of the everyday horror of the Nazi era without directly showing a single killing or other crime. The decision to break the fiction at the end and show today's memorial in Auschwitz was absolutely brilliant. Just like the final cut to black, the pause until the horrendous music starts until the viewer is finally released from the misery by the credits. I have rarely seen such an emotionally powerful movie. I cried my eyes out in those last few minutes of the movie. I cried for the victims, but also for the perpetrators who, as the movie shows so beautifully, lost their humanity. Many thanks for the further insight. Great channel and more than worth a subscription.
@@j.langer5949 showing the horrors of what fascism/adjacent ideologies can lead to is not "ethnomasochism" if you take someone saying that you could normalize violence like this as a threat, then that is really saying something about you. Also, the Holocaust did happen ;)
7:05 Great question. I guess the best current analogy is how we treat "farm" animals. Hedwiga is using lipstick, and trying coat (likely things that belonged to victims) in the same vein we consume flesh and wear skin of sentient beings we breed and kill, without batting an eye.
Another Great Video after Another Great Video after Another Great Video. This man doesn't miss. Keep up the Great work. Quickly turning into one of my fav channels here.
I’ve been thinking about the cultural memory of this event & what it does to people. Look at the Middle East right now. Only on twitter today I saw a picture of a proud Jewish soldier standing in front of a library wall full of books that he had set on fire. The devastation there. A friend of mine was discussing it with me. He is Jewish. A man of 70. He said the Jews do not wish to be good, or moral they merely wish to be strong. Layers within layers. It’s a very good channel this I’m impressed by the thought behind some of the opinions. my own mum was born in 32 a girl during the war. She was very house proud. Cleaned & re-decorated almost permanently. It’s very reminiscent of her these woman. The mother and grandmother. Proud working class desperately trying to get on. "Always be in your own side son" she would say. My dad was or became a boss at a giant steelworks. From the bottom. My mums pride was immense. I think about her when watching this film. She hated the Nazis. But didn’t know why. Except she was meant to. I wonder what she would have done in this situation. The thought makes me feel slightly uncomfortable even though I know she was in many ways a kind woman. A film to make you think.
Damn, there are layers. I don't know if your friend was providing criticism or rationalization - perhaps it was just a moment of cold candor. But it could have come from the mouth of any unrepentant SS soldier. Considering the message of this film in contrast to the reception of Glazer's condemnation of the acts taking place in Gaza, the heartbreaking irony is almost overwhelming. But if humanity hasn't changed, I only hope that the perpetrators and apologists will be pursued and punished with as much vigor after this latest crime against humanity. I have a feeling they won't. We won't see museums in every country and every state or 400 films/books informing future generations. The evil or complicit people have all the money and power. Any attempt to write the true history of what happened will result in social and professional ostracization. These crimes will not stop and there will not be any real reckoning afterward.
The cut to the cleaners was genious. What are they thinking in this place? They can clean it as much as they want, it will still be tainted. If they could wash everything away, are they complicit by destroying evidence? What makes them good at their job? Is it the same as what makes Höß """"good"""" at his?
Brilliant movie and analysis. Please do an analysis on the recent movie, Civil War. Too many people are missing its true intent. I see it as a horror movie, an American horror movie.
dope video, and dope channel, crazy this video only has 600 likes. Been watching and liking a lot of you're videos. You're ability to magnify and explain details of movies that i would have never seen on my own is awesome.
I dont know what everyone else thought but I never thought I would ever go out sticking out or going out guns blazing. Knowing myself, I know I would have just moved to Switzerland or Sweden if I found myself in as a German in 1930s.
That scene hoss looking into the peephole or at us its just mindblowing he is asking us I am evil as per your parameters but what the are you? What are you guys doing while genocide are happening everyday across many places in this world you are no different you guys are just like me
But dude, I literally said this to my partner as I was watching it. "This feels like a Nazi Big Brother". Never did this really ever feel like a movie, more an observation. It was truly a different viewing experience.
The movie Conspiracy (2001) is very effective on how it portrays the bureaucratic aspects and inhumanity of Nazi regiment concerning the final solution.
Well done, young man. I just found your channel and I am working my way through all of your videos. I think you will go far. Promise me one thing- don’t start using AI voices to narrate your videos. Your voice is very engaging and your way of speaking is clear and intelligent and full of personality and emotion. Dream big dreams and do not give up on them.
Now I want to watch this movie. And I can't watch those movies. I'm not that easily triggered, but Nazi Germany .... I am german and I know how deep these things are rooted, even today. The garden fences that are a wall where the tiny world of the owner ends. The brave new world, shiny and bright, we have nothing to do with what happened then. There's nothing under the carpet, nothing in the cellar, under the roof, in the garden shack. Not countless companies that have a Nazi history. Everything is normal. As it has to be. If we don't see the neighbors, they don't see us. Just act normal, everything is fine. Until it's not. A teddy bear hanging in a tree, cut open, smeared with dirt and mistreated, outside of a nice hotel complex. It hung there for a week, right next to the road, and I'm sure it still does. The new owners are jewish. The nice guys in the nice restaurant who tell you that everything is getting worse since the complex was sold. These are just the subliminal messages, but they disturb me the most. Because nobody reads them. And they are literally everywhere. It is as normal as life next to a concentration camp. As life behind a wall with self-firing systems. As Nazis singing their songs in public. Nobody heard it. What? No, the music was too loud, what did they sing? There were two sentences I heard as a child over and over again. What's wrong with you, I don't do anything. And What should the neighbors think? I was a child that never cried. I yelled, for hours. Should have tried the fire trick. But that works only once. It took almost 60 years to get rid of the brainwash. Nobody wants to believe you. The facade is too perfect and nobody want's to know. If I don't see you, you don't see me. Those kids at the table? They hear the shots, but they don't hear them. They mean nothing. They are just gun shots. Perfectly normal. 20 years later they hear a shot and still think nothing of it. It's just a shot. Nothing to worry about. And this is not just Germany. America is obsessed with guns, too. And cars. Here they can't own guns, but they can drive without speed limit. They don't care about the gun-law, there are ways to own a gun legally. You just have to join a club. That's all. Why do I watch these videos, I know they trigger ... This one was hard to watch. But a good one, nothing to do with you. I always hope that films like this help to show how sick things can get when nobody cares. Nobody want's to know.
oh my god I just watched the film and I am more than beyond sick. This film has interested me since it's release, and breaking my vow to see it in a theatrical setting, I swung over to amazon to go and finally watch it, carrying that feeling you have when you want to look at a spider's nest but not wanting to walk through it. And like my older brother trying to teach me against cowardice, Glazer pulles the audience through it by the drawstings of their jogging pants leaving us stomach sick. I understood most elements of the story and way of life theoretically, the detatchment from their own deeds, the way of running a house, gardening, the expectations of the upper echalon and how it interacts with social classes (in this I mean specifically the interactions with the maid), but this was my first exposure to the reality: the violence was not ignored but rather the thing that fed the stability of the family. I found simularities with what I have read about southern families and the atlantic slave trade. I found simularities with the colonization of north america. I found simularities in this attitude with 80s yuppie culture and the regan era. I found simularities with the situation in Gaza. I find simularities within myself, craving security and a good home for my future children. That dream that Hilda talks of with her husband by the river, reminising of what they wanted what they were younger, it ties in so perfect with what Hoss says at the table with his children, that sacrifices are to be made to keep their lifestyle alive. I almost laughed, it would not be him or any of his family who would be sacrificing.
My guess would be he read the banality of evil years ago - assuming you are talking about Glazer. I doubt he was just exposed to the idea at his age and was like "omg" I have to make a movie that portrays these sentiments! Not sure exactly what your point is.
Сподіваюся більше людей зрозуміють чому українці кажуть про те, що винні всі росіяни, так всі, адже мовчазна згода, про яку кажуть у відео, на пряму робить співучасниками кожного росіянина

The film fulfilled its purpose. It brainwashed you even more than you had been brainwashed before and rooted ethnomasochism even deeper.

Starting with you're channel.
Estou muito feliz de ter descoberto esse canal! Hugs from Brazil!
Actually offensive how this video only has 5k views. If Lancelloti is reading this, this is one of the best videos I've ever seen.
From that *INGLORIOUS BASTERDS* video to this
I AM START LOVING THIS CHANNEL
That scene hoss looking into the peephole or at us its just mindblowing he is asking us I am evil as per your parameters but what the are you? What are you guys doing while genocide are happening everyday across many places in this world you are no different you guys are just like me
great movie. great video. will probably rewatch to see what i think after hearing this perspective
Subbed. Awesome video man.
Thank you
Great work! I'd love to see you talk about the fascinating visuals in the new Civil War movie!
This was a top-notch video. Sad to see youtube shadowban it into the ground because of the subject material.
Great video, i haven't watched it yet but i think i will now
But dude, I literally said this to my partner as I was watching it. "This feels like a Nazi Big Brother".

can you analyze secret window with johnny depp
Nova Exhibition Protest in NYC and the silence of the masses had proven this film true.
paraaa sos el de El Carbón encubierto??? 😅 el algoritmo de youtube me mostró este vid y fue wtffff
So he just read Arendt?

Most people would obviously stand with ze national socialists. Few know "pragmatic" is an insult and a synonym of "hypocrite"
I hated this movie in theaters
a lot of people in the theater just walked out when the movie ended, not saying a word
greatly underwhelmed by something that quickly turned out to be an artsy experimental film
Free Palestine
Free it from Hamas -terror.And hate against jewish people.
