    Dude...the part where he explained about the car crash in Royal Tennenbaums blew my mind! I've watched it maybe 20 times and never picked up on it before though I guess subconsciously it will get everyone, that's why I love these videos :) Can he do a rundown of every set from every Wes Anderson film? I know they are spectacular and he really seems impressed by them but his insights are so good, they make you appreciate everything so much more.

    @annasmith6090 4 роки тому +3

    The set design in pride and prejudice (2005) does a great job at making the regency era relatable. A lot of period pieces can feel impersonal, so set design is extremely important to make the homes feel real. If there's a part two, maybe bring up a period piece

    Also my profession and what a deep joy to hear someone speak the same language. I've never forgotten that Hamptons house in 'Somethings gotta gove'- it was so beautifully done and really enriched Keaton's character. I disagreed about 'Clueless' as while the character is clearly defined in the set design and it is supposed to be an 'ugly' McMansion, it didn't have to be offensive to the eye and while the closet was a great idea, the black space behind her rails bothered me then and bother me now.
