I am taken aback by how damn thorough this is. ScreenCrush should triple Ryan's fee.
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose.
Nothing ain't worth nothing, but it's free...
Funny how the nice husband is named “Norm”, as in “normal”. Normal implies a certain quiet modestly, which the character embodies.
So what's like...your opinion man?
Ed was infertile not H.I.
great video
You guys are fucking awesome, i always enjoy your videos very much, keep it up :)
Fuck it Dude. Let's go bowling.
You are truly brilliant
I think Tom does need money in Miller's Crossing, though it's not his primary motivation... he's on a bad gambling streak and sets up Casper to have the money when he does and takes it off his dead body, and it works out great for Tom...
Also, I think Jerry Lundergaurd does owe money... he has the loan Banker trying to reach him bc of the unreadable serial #s on cars he'd received loans for...
Brilliantly done. You've made me want to revisit a few of these.
When I saw Blood Simple for the first time their distaste for greed and currency was very straight forward. How it turned a harmless happy go-lucky detective into a disgusting blood thirsty killer showed how greed can twist someone into something they weren't naturally. Great video.
MrKajithecat “All for a little bit of money.”
in Raising Arizona Gale and Evel aren't trying to sell Nathan JR on the black market at all, they originally take him for the reward money but end up loving him and wanting to raise him. Leonard Smalls wants to sell them on the back market. I think that's pretty a pretty important distinction man, that's why Leonard Smalls is the antagonist and Gale and Evel are still lovable fools in the end.
I’ve been scratching my head for thirty years trying to figure just what the hell makes for a damn Coen Bros movie. You nailed it, dude.
You forgot the fact that Walter's "STFU, Donny!" is a reference to Fargo, where Buscemi is running his mouth off a lot.
You guys are wonderful! I never realized why I love Coen Brothers movies so very much.
this was a great video, really well put together and made me think even more about my fav directors. it feels like every movie they make is a reflection of their own lives and thoughts and ideology, varying in depth and reality and theme from movie to movie. i think the best people at their craft make things about their daily lives, but are so good at it and see the mundaneness and suffering of life in a such unique perspective
you have earned yourself a subscription :) love the Coens, and that was well explained. Although they aren't the only ones to do this theme, I think they do it the best because they always offer an alternative vision.
I wonder how this theme plays out in their own lives?
I never knew the Barton Fink fan theory in Hail Ceaser but I love the sound of it.
Love this, great production and editing.
Implies that these divisions can ultimately breed the horrors of fascism. Great writing as well. good analyses
Nice summary. Really helpful and uplifting
Briliiant analysis, excellently conveyed in this video.
Inside llewyn Davis has become my second favorite Cohen movie, behind No country for ole men. Incredibly relatable, and a great folk soundtrack.
I'm a fan of A Simple man
And I'll take a Barton Fink, please.

*A Serious Man
This is a really great video! Thanks you!
Amazing episode!! 👏
Came across this while contemplating about jobs and money, it hit me in the feels a bit
This should have 1 million views
Wait, H.I. isn't sterile. Ed is barren. That point was belabored over in that sequence.
Edwinas insides were a rocky place where my seed could find no purchase
Well maybe the agency can do somethin' for me and Dot; see, there's somethin' wrong with my semen. Say, that reminds me, whatcha gonna name him?
@@footofjuniper8212 that was Glenn, not Hi.
@@catherinesmith9820 I know. I just like the quote. ;)
@@footofjuniper8212 ✌❤
Well presented. Bravo!
Gonna have to seek out all their films. Definitely missed a few.
That was well done. Thanks.
Very good.
Worth mentioning but probably point-parting, in _Burn After Reading_ , Linda ultimately does get her plastic surgery as an almost afterthought by J.K. Simmons' CIA Superior.
Good point. Never really thought about it that way, but her surgery is the "golden fleece" that is basically the set-up for the whole plot. It's off-screen, but JK approves it with a wave of his hand.
I feel like the guy that made this video kind of took several parts out of context to fit this narrative.
Huh....I never realized that it's been one long morality tale letting the masses know that money never brings about happiness. That's great.
As they rake in million$$$$$
thats one reading but i very much doubt it was there intention
I love anything that really improves my appreciation of great movies. This did just that. So - I thank-you. Very, very much.
Sometimes I find it hard to believe that this kind of thing is free and made (and made so well) by insightful, usually anoymous, brilliant enthusiasts and posted on a democratic video platform without any notion of whether or not it will attract attention. I grew up in a world where you had to pay for this kind of first rate criticism, probably at a decent school. I work in Higher Education and can tell you right now, we need to up our game or we are going to become regarded as no more than con artists selling snake oil education to the young for, you guessed it, a little bit of money.
I sometimes wonder if we aren't already there.
Great video
I've always viewed Tom's motivations in "Miller's Crossing" as a power play. He's the one with a "wart on his fanny," and wanted to sit behind Leo's desk. That isn't revealed until that final shot as Tom watches Leo walk away.
Or maybe I just misinterpreted that moment.
Tom's not power mad, he's a survivor.
I can see you have done your homework. Thanks for the education~!!!
Well said, and yet, if I could only win the lottery...
Great breakdown, except H.I. from Raising Arizona was not infertile. Ed was.
“Her insides were a rocky place my seed could find no purchase.”
Or something like that, lol.
not to be that guy but just rewatched Burn After Reading and Linda actually does get the money in the end. JK Simmons pays for the surgeries to keep her quiet about the murders
Regarding Burn After Reading, the exchange of money did take place.
Linda got her augmentation after all.
Whats the name of the music in the video, please?
Hmmm...The themes identified in No Country For Old Men are almost exactly the same as the book though. So did the Coen Brothers choose it because it fit their thematic paradigm or is it a coincidence?
Why would it be a coincidence? If a filmmaker who has total creative control over their films chooses a book to adapt, of course they're gonna choose something that fits their worldview.
thanks it was great working with joel and ethan 2x
Correction in Raising Arizona: her insides were a rocky place where his seed could find no purchase. Ed was barren, not Hi.
Which reminds me of one of the funniest exchanges in the movie:
Glen: What you gonna name it?
HI: Ed. Ed Jr.
Glen: But l thought you said it was a boy.
HI: Well, as in Edward. We just like that name.
One thing about the Coen's is that they sure love Karma.
NOTE: Raising Arizona's ending really drawls paraells from the Biblical story of Abraham and Sara. The Cohen's (being Jewish) use Old Testament examples in several of their movies.
As far as the Abram and Sara story go, they could not have children and God tells them they will have offspring as numerous as the stars.
HI says in the last line: If not Arizona, maybe it was Utah. Meaning to me, if not a perfect ending, then something that borders a perfect ending. Utah borders Arizona.
That's an interesting take, I always interpreted the last line as HI's continual misguided approach to problem solving. The dream sequence is full of wholesome, lofty ambitions and where the answer should be dedication, hard work and determination, he naively thinks it's a problem of locality. Just like robbery is the answer to monetary issues or kidnapping is the answer to a barren wife. He gets so close to relevatory insight and then pisses it away with a lazy conclusion.
Can u guys please do this same thing for all of Quentin Tarantino movies please!
Jeff Bridges is Coen brothers jewel Im a bug fan of his.
You know why is this called "The Big Lebowsky"? That's probably the less discussed movie of the entire video.
It's because you will click ok it 'cause you love the movie. At least I did.
Anyway, this video should have been called "The Coen Bros. Money" or something like that and we would probably have clicked on it all the same.
The Coen's sharpest satire of capitalism is the segment Meal Ticket from Buster Scruggs.
isnt the ladykillers a lose remake?
In "Raising Arizona" Nick Cage's character is H.I. Not hi....
First line of the movie: "My name is H.I. McDonough. Call me Hi."
H.I. isn't unfertile, Ed is.
Imagine if the Coen brothers cast Dave Chapelle in Ladykillers instead of Marlon Wayans, who singlehandedly destroys an otherwise fine movie.
I did notice some other prominent themes woven throughout the Coen brothers body of work. Such as all the characters are human beings on planet earth, wearing clothes and breathing air. Insightful analysis Screen Crush.
Can't wait to see your equally entertaining video dpw
Can't wait for your discussion on consuming food, talking and sleeping in Coen Brothers films.
I just finished hail Caesar, I don't understand how it has an 85% on Rotten Tomatoes
homerlover4420
Aw hell, make a caesar with rotten tomatoes and it'll leave a bad taste in your mouth.
Hate to break it to you, even the brothers have stated Lebowski is about the gulf war. O brother was an analogy for a southern election that was happening. I don't know how you got all of the video wrong
Please. Go watch any of the interviews.
The Coen brothers movies are all very spiritual and supernatural. Those of you indoctrinated to believe these things are merely primitive psychological manifestations miss a lot.
So, it's all about the Benjamins.
it'd probably be better for your analysis if you knew what you were talking about... Exp. 1: in Raising Arizona, Hi, isn't sterile, it's Edwina who is barren. etc, etc.
Not knowing your shit severely undercuts your authority.
I love this video, but you mean "motif," not "theme." A theme cannot be one word.
In fact, the real Nihilists are the Coen Brothers themselves...
Stay out of Malibu screen crush.
Here is the theme of every Coen movie.
Set up a story and Then Don't pay it off
You can't say that about Raising Arizona or Miller's Crossing. Both of them are narratively exceptional.
You're not 1st
I like that 😄
Close. The Coen’s believe that the love of money is the root of all evil, and that is displayed in every film. The most dominant theme I find is mankind’s search for meaning in a fallen, sinful world.
*The Coens
One Coen + another Coen = The Coens
😎
Rug pee'ers didn't do this video ... looks more like a wandering daughter job.
Нихуя не понял но наверное видос is good
Nope nope nope nope nope. The Coen Brothers films are about language. They are all a study in language.
Well, that too, I agree. However, they are also about the consequences of greed as the video put it.
Great directors. I love some of their movies to death but by god they have some shitty ones. Ladykillers, Intolerable Cruelty, Burn After Reading and Hail Caesar are awful.
Burn After Reading is great! Four separate storylines that constantly interweave.
Hail Caesar is a brilliant mixture of Art, Religion, and Politics (plus a song and a dance).
I quite liked Hail Caesar! Iplan on renting it again and enjoying it even more.
I gave Burn after Reading another chance; it grows on you.
Burn After Reading is amazing and deserves a lot more attention. I enjoy it more every time I see it.
Two millionaires preaching about how bad money is.
This is Spoiler town, please explain your point without giving away a major plot of the movie
.
If you haven't watched all their films and you're watching a *How Every Coen Brothers Movie is Connected* video...
That's on _you,_ pal.
Coen brothers movies suck. Call a cop
No.
You do not get it. You are projecting your own baggage here and nothing else.
