Why did you mention it here though? Unless I've missed it (i did skip like 30 secs a few times) he doesn't mention it in the video? It's one of my personal all time favourite movies, despite the not-so-good (but also not horrible) portrayal of Hoodoo.
I think musicals can be really creatively done in film, particularly the style of Chicago. But I do prefer seeing them on stage, I wish more musicals filmed and released stage productions.
I also thought of A Star is Born (2018) and The Wicker Man (1973). They're musicals but they fool us into thinking that they're not musicals because the characters don't break scene when they perform.
A lot of that actually has to do with the difficulty of negotiations and navigating the grey area between stage actor guild standards and screen actor guild standards. That’s why you don’t see pro-shots a lot unless bankrolled by a major company like Netflix or Disney or for non-profit like on PBS.
this was so interesting! I loved your gone with the wind and rise & grind videos and it was really cool to see you unscripted and hear your thoughts on stuff :D
I just discovered your channel and promptly binged all your videos. Super smart, intersectional feminist, nerdy and, on a very shallow note, very easy on the eyes? You got yourself a new subscriber. Too bad you live on another continent :p I worked in the film industry as an assistant director for seven years before calling it quits earlier this year. It’s a tough business and I can relate to the struggle. You’re clearly passionate while not delusional about what’s realistic. I wish you the best and hope you accomplish your goals. Off to watch “Second Service”.
I think musicals are actually really good ways for good acting to shine. Maybe not as much in movie musicals, but in the musicals I really like, the emotion comes in through the songs.
You mentioned it in one of your lists... Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is one of my very favorite movies. I often forget about it now that I no longer have my own “favorite shelf of DVDs” - I envy you in that, but think I’d struggle going back to that myself. So says a woman old enough to remember when Betamax was the “new thing”. Lol.
I was just curious about whether you've seen any Bollywood films when you said you can't get into musicals so I'm assuming (correct me if I'm wrong) that you haven't! That being said there are plenty of great films coming from Bollywood and other Indian film industries at the moment which aren't the usual "break out into song" films and I would love to hear your thoughts on them.
So, my answers to selected questions. 1/ Why aren't i supporting you on Patreon? I couldn't come up with a good reason why not. 2/ If I had the capacity to remake a movie. "Night of the Demon". A truly great horror story turned into a schlocky horror movie. It could be done in the style of "It Follows" on a low budget to great effect. 3/ To impress at a potluck, a classic dessert such as trifle or French Silk Pie. 4/ Best soundtrack ever? The Shining. 5/ I've seen High School Musical so you don't have to. It's a collection of toxic tropes and stereotypes from the Mean Girl/Female Drag Queen, her screaming queen brother who gaybaits by not being allowed to actually come out, the smart girl who isn't good enough until she embraces prettiness, and the straight guy who is naturally a better singer/dancer/actor than anyone who has worked for years learning their craft. Zac Efron's charm pulls the movie into a bit better than mediocre. Sadly, his later career indicates that charm can't cover up wooden acting. 6/ Book I'd love to turn into a movie if I had the capacity: Quest for the 36 by Stephen Billias. Dexter Sinister, a PI who does stage magic and juggling, is hired to locate the 36 living Saints of Kabbalah in order to prevent the destruction of the world. American Gods and Good Omens show this type of story could be successful. A recent story that may be in process to become a movie, Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire. What happens to the children who have come back home from their lives in Narnia, Oz, Wonderland, and all of the magical lands of portal fiction? They are dysfunctional misfits whose parents don't know how to deal with. But there's a boarding school to help them adjust - but at least one of them has become a serial killer. 7/ Period I want to tell stories in. The first Century BCE. The Greek kingdom in Afghanistan is sending Buddhist missionaries to China. The Roman Republic is growing and threatening to become larger than the area conquered by Alexander the Great. Queen Salome Alexandra, the first ruling queen of the Jews, is trying to build a resistance between Judea, Egypt, Persia, and Armenia to hold back the Roman conquest. And all of that is real history.
9:40 Departures (2008) directed by Yōjirō Takita - I feel woefully under qualified to make movie suggestions to such a well versed and educated in film person like yourself, but this film really moved me and so I feel it is worthy of suggestion since you say you want to see more Japanese film!
Voe-Gull-Sang, lol! Don't worry though, it's a tongue twister (and there is a branch of the family that does pronounce the second "ge" too). Also: Prey is awesome and I for one would love to hear that pitch.
Ah, my recently found favorite UA-camr is back! Unfortunately my financial situation doesn't allow me to become a Patreon supporter at this time, but I hope you enjoy Clue 😘
YO A Sphere fan! That book blew my mind when I was young. The "impossible" animals, the illusions, the psychological trickery... I remember reading the second half of that book during a superbowl and not giving a shit about the game at all.... I also remember being sad when I found out that many critics I respected looked down upon Sphere as something of a Solaris ripoff or just a potboiler with no literary merit. Now I'm obviously more aware of my own opinions and analyses being valid, especially in a society filled with cultural elitism, but it still makes the child inside me happy to see that someone I respect loves one of my favorite books as well.
I know I'm very late to the party but I've recently come across your channel and have been binge watching your content. You mentioned that Japanese movies was something you would like to dive into more. I would like to recommend The Face of Another, directed by Hiroshi Teshigahara, a 1966 black and white movie. I have no idea if you've heard of it or not, it's just one of those movies I feel more people should see.
You sucked me in with your GWTW vids because I love that movie and love the book more. I find that the movies you mainly talk about are not ones I know or would watch, but that's okay.
Tammy Nelson Agreed 100%! That’s exactly how I got here. Luckily for me, “Skynet” was listening in when I talked to one of my coworkers about Gone with the Wind, so “coincidentally” that night his videos appeared in my suggestion feed. In this case, I’m not mad, lol.
If I win a lotter, I am going to finance the Golden Record movie. :) Would loooove to see this one. Have you read The Remembrance of Earth's Past trilogy by Liu Cixin?
I love your commentary! Have you watched Legion? They are so inventive with the sets, narrative, visuals, and story. They also do some great scenes with music. It's not your traditional superhero show
David trilogy is my favorite!.. as a kid I honestly thought (and hoped) hed stay for the remainder of the series. Twas not to be. The Aux Animorphs were my next fav..until spoilers they all died for literally no reason. Kids books are sad.
Hey, at least it wont be too hard to find a copy of prophecy now for newcomers like me, bc I never would of found out about the film or knew anything about it without your Jaws Rip-off vid, so thx for introducing a new monster movie, I've already got the dvd of grizzly, and steelbooks of piranha and Humanoids from the deep (which I PERSONALLY felt that you were a little harsh to in that vid), and I'm going to get Alligator on dvd, thx for expanding my knowledge of movies, btw Night of the Creeos RULES
I will say, musical movies tend to adapt poorly. But musicals as stage productions are far more better and actually seem to be better at using acting and singing at the same time. Good example is Trina's song, "I'm Breaking Down", from Falsettos. You can watch some professionally filmed musicals on Broadway HD and some clips here on UA-cam. But yeah it seems movie directors are generally uncomfortable with adapting muscals to film. A good example of a director seemingly uncomfortable with adapting a musical is Joel Schumacher with "Phantom of the Opera". The actors in that movie generally stand still when singing or walk down hallways, rather like... acting while singing. So yeah stage productions get musicals right and most movies fail it.
@@coldcrashpictures Oh, it seems that, althought Mayan Civilization collapsed around 9 A.D. there well still thriving Mayan cities around during the time of the Spanish Conquest, including Chichen Itzá. You were right! I take my hat off to you, sir.
Your feral child story made me think about a french movie adapted from a novel which shares a lot with your synopsis. "L'enfant sauvage" by François Truffaut. You surely checked it before but in case you did not here is a link: ua-cam.com/video/CXwYof598C8/v-deo.html I think the motivation of the scientist from your story differs from the François Truffaut's character tho. It may be a great idea to revisit this story.
I’m pretty sure I read the Hork-Bajir Chronicles three times in one day. While reading the series, I would rotate between Hork-Bajir, Visser, and the Andalite Chronicles on a weekly basis 😂😂😂To this day, I still angrily rant about the series’ ending...I don’t know if KA Applegate really came back after that 😐At least she sort of made up for it with Remnants. Sort of.
dang i wanted to ask your opinion on video games that specifically seek to emulate the film-watching experience story/immersion wise, such as beyond two souls, detroit become human and the last of us.
@@donniedarko4562 that depends. if you just want one story and dont care abt slight dialogue differences, sure. but if you want full control and want to pick exactly what to say when the whole time and play your way for full immersion than you would want the game
@@annaadams9706 Maybe it's just my personal taste. I want to be told a story, and if I have to create one, I want full control, not just key decisions throughout the game.
Dude. I love your scripts/ ideas. I want to see those movies. I particularly love The Feral Child and Byrd Land, but all of them are very intriguing. Call me if you ever need to drum up any illustrated/ graphic movie posters or creature designs. (Also, I do not understand the appeal of musicals either. Whenever characters break out into song, I'm checking the time, waiting for the plot to move forward already. Pacing please)
Did you say Andelite Chronicles???!? I've been letting your videos play through as I was cleaning my room and I head that and got crushed by a nostalgia wave I had to lie down.
Nice video! I don't know if you know about this but there's a movie with a similar story to your "Feral Child". It's directed by Truffaut and it's set in 1798's France. Here's the link for the IMDB page www.imdb.com/title/tt0064285/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 ("L'enfant sauvage", 1970)
I instantly fell in love with you but now we can’t be together because MUSICALS. We sing when words are no longer sufficient! Lol but for real movie musicals can be really bad, but that’s not the genre, just bad filmmaking.
Your description of "The Feral Child" makes it sound like it would make an excellent audio drama. About the movies you love from 2005-2006, it's interesting you didn't mention any non-English language movies, not even Pan's Labyrinth. In addition to that one, some of my other favorite foreign movies came out in those years: The Lives of Others, Old Boy, Howl's Moving Castle, Hidden, The Death of Mr. Lazarescu, La Nina Santa, etc. You mentioned not knowing much Japanese cinema -- does that include Miyazaki? Somehow I ignored his stuff for years, then I watched Princess Mononoke and WOW his movies are among the best I've seen ever. If you haven't spent time with him, you're in for a treat.
Speaking of the Orpheus myth, have you listened to Hadestown? Edit: You just mentioned your dislike for musicals. Nevermind. 😂 Edit edit: I swear I'll become a patron when I finish grad school!
why do you talk out of the side of your mouth? stroke or other medical condition? missing teeth? habit? watched a few of your videos, can't stop thinking about it.
I am sorry but Star Wars The last Jedi imho is an absolute shit show in regards to plot holes. Yes it is a self contained movie but then dont call it Star Wars because this implies that it has something to do with the previous 7 movies when in reality it turns everything upside down and just doesn't make sense...
your eyes light up when talking about your screenplays; can’t wait for the day i’ll be watching them on the big screen !!
"I don't really like musicals" omg what a character arc
May I just say that you're brilliant and I love you and your videos so so much!
You’re so adorable it’s unreal. Loved this video.
ngl your voice is really comfortable/calming to listen to! and you're so eloquent!
Oh my God. I spied The Skeleton Key (2005). I will not rest until that underrated gem gets the recognition it deserves!
Such a great movie and I wholeheartedly agree that it is underrated and deserves so much more recognition.
Why did you mention it here though? Unless I've missed it (i did skip like 30 secs a few times) he doesn't mention it in the video?

I...I dont know what to do I'm so early
I think musicals are actually really good ways for good acting to shine. Maybe not as much in movie musicals, but in the musicals I really like, the emotion comes in through the songs.
I know I sometimes get flippant when I talk about musicals, but I swear I *do* recognize the massive pool of talent that goes into making them.
