Exemplary stuff dude. Other UA-camrs should take note
Indeed. Well said.
While I take tokes of the marijuana smokes.

I've seen Heat at least 10 times and never thought of 1/2 the things in this video. Great job!
I own the double DVD disk.
Totally blown away. Expectations far exceeded. A truly inspired and well-researched analysis. This is one hell of an essay. Beautifully written. Your assertion that family is the most important aspect of life, and a key theme of the film, is probably lost on most of its viewers. But that's what a great analysis does - it illuminates, it allows us to see the thing we've already seen before but in a new and different way, with new meanings uncovered and new understandings gained.
They don't make them like this anymore. One of the last GREAT films of an era...
Excellent video👍 Cheers
Edit: Amazing ending. Incredible closing
When a movie which is notoriously acknowledged to have THE best shoot-out scene also has a character depth this much, you know that you are talking about the masterpiece.
I would say that Heat would make 2 good movies in it, if only Neil's or Vincent's personal life was displayed, it would still have been good. And on top of this, it also has Chris's story and the driver's story. Just a top quality storytelling overall.
Best movie shootout ever... I really wish De Niro got away at the end though...
I think it ended good. Neil paid the price for his inability to not let go of revenge on Weingro. Vincent saved his daughter and himself at the same time. And the way they hold hands at the end shows deep respect to one another. I feel that a second movie of 'Heat' would have ruined it.
The soulful moment of Al Pacino holding his hand was kinda great. Worth it tbh.
Me too.
Something I mentioned to my sister yesterday about Pulp Fiction is that the movie doesn’t always end how you want it to end, That’s the beauty of good cinema, You have to appreciate the story how it is, Just like how life is, You gotta be able to roll with it even if it doesn’t go how you want it to go.
Just because the movie doesn’t go how you want it to go doesn’t make it bad cinema and if it goes how you want it to go it doesn’t make it good cinema.
If it goes how you want it to go the release of endorphins/happiness tricks you into thinking the movie is better than it is.
He was breaking his own rules, not leaving when it's time to go, kept going after Weingro. It was a perfect way to go
For me the second most touching moment in the movie is when Chris sees his wife on the balcony and she gives him the "pass" sign. I felt what he felt. You could see she was also devastated.
The comic relief was needed with the "rat" played by Hank Azaria.
Kevin Gage's "Waingro" was scary.
My buddies when I lived in Arizona would call me waingro 😂😂😂 don’t know if that’s a good thing or bad thing 😂😂😂😂
@@scottyspliffen7421 Depends if you want to be loved or feared.
@@KutWrite well in a sense both I was painting illegal graffiti and it’s kinda a low level street gang mentality so my boys loved me and how i was but the people I didn’t like and would fight whats me till this day so I kinda look at it like u said live by some hated by many lol you comment was really good my dude 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I’m a simple guy, I see a good video essay about heat, I hit like.
You do what you do best
Omg! I clicked so fast! In my top 5 of all time, what a great film. Keep it up Matt, you're great.
Very insightful. Never thought of the film like this.
And tons of "bonus" information about other movies which I didn't expect but really enjoyed.
I don't think I ever would've given Exorcist III a shot if it hadn't been for your analysis of the film. It's now one of my favorite movies and I'm very much looking forward to reading the book! From one Ohioan and content creator to another, best of luck!
Exorcist 3/Legion might be one of the greatest movies of all time. Science vs Law vs Faith, holy trinity of existence.
One of the best 22mins I've spent in this godforsaken year.
Watching this analysis makes me love the movie even more. It's awesome how all the details you explained give it more dimension. I like how Neil's home says a lot about him, which is nothing because his life is empty
I'm glad I found this channel, so far the content has been excellent. It's articulate and profound, without being pretentious.
thank you so much! That is the exact approach I try to bring to this series because I've seen too many highbrow works on film and cinema is literally for everyone, so there's no need to talk down to others when discussing it.
@@MATTDALOR1AN Keep doing what you do .
One of my all time fav movies “i told you im never going back”, love how the movie focuses on their personal lives.
Edit: tell chris stuckmann to review this movie
Well what masterpiece review. I saw heat hundreds of times and i thought i know everything about but you managed to pull out so many things i never spotted. Hats down to you my friend
I love this series and appreciate the effort and passion that goes into every video. Thank you Matt so much ❤
One of the best video essays and analysis I've ever seen, brought tears to my eyes at the end with how deep you went and beautifully done it along the way.I hope that you reap the rewards (in such forms that you wish) for creating such videos.I don't comment alot so this action reaffirms how moved I was.
thank you very much! your comment made my day
My NUMBER 1 film of all time. Has been since I first saw it in 1995 when my dad bought it on VHS!
Now this is the ‘Heat’ video I’ve been looking for. I adore this analysis.
This was awesome, I hung to every word. Well done and thank you!
Stellar video essay. Great breakdown of one of my favorite movies.
that end credit by Moby always gives me chills thru my spine.
Been watching/rewatching your cinema series for a couple of years. I truly enjoy your view and perspectives. Great work!
thank you! hopefully find free time and can continue them again
This was beautiful bro! You made me cry! Seriously thank you!
such a fantastic video essay with so much depth of insight of one of my favorite films. thank you for doing what you do!
Your movie analysis is really amazing and worth watching as much as watching the heat movie itself. Thanks for awesome video.
Thank you!
What many great HEAT docus like this one miss out on is the fact on how the monumental soundtrack affected psyche attitude and emotion of those engulfed in watching this masterpiece. I drove endless nights around LA with this blasting in my car. I look back now and it was almost surreal.
Very nice
Great job. Heat is a masterpiece. Your breakdown made it even better.
Just found this channel. man this Channel is effinnGreat!!!!
I saw this the year it came out, I've watched it on VHS, DVD, Blu-Ray, Streaming....I've written papers and debated this film! And not until your video did I ever realize how Vincent accepts defeat which ultimately saves Lauren...I (of course) realize that Neil's inability to let Waingro go is what brings him down...but only now do I see what Vincent does that Neil can't. Brilliant observations, brilliant work! Thank you.
I remember being a bit surprised by the relationships getting so much attention in a movie where the only thing people seem to talk about is the "coffee conversation" and the subsequent bank robbery. I appreciated the small glimpse into Michael's life because it made you feel for the guy dying before doing much driving at all. There was also the contrast of the cop having a marriage going down the drain and a few of the criminals having very loving relationships with their's.
It's a movie that's definitely more than a brief dialogue scene and a bank robbery.
Really enjoyed this man, you certainly brought some things to light I hadn't considered but are now very evident in retrospect. That's usually how it goes with a lot of great films. I always thought Heat was a great film, but to say what elements make it a great film is a whole other thing.
"You do what you do best and I do what I do best" .... "it's either that, or we betta go do somethin' else pal". These words have shaped my life and my world. I will never apologize for the man I have become after watching this film.
Heat is one of My All Time favorite movies 🎥 !!! Great insight !!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you for this analysis. I love this movie, one of my favourites.
Every time I hear that moby song at the end if the movie, I cry.
Ricky Harris as Albert Torena (the chop shop) was as brilliant as any of the other roles. He just captured such an honest take of a low level criminal dealing with a hot-headed cop.
I've said it before: Heat is about people with something to lose. Everybody-every last character in the film-loses something.
You made my year. Thank you!!
You have my benediction simply for the fact you decided to tackle something like _Heat (1995) a Michael Mann film._
*[Salutations from space]*
Fantastic video!!! Also sick flow!
Ewan Reviews 🇨🇦🇨🇦
nice video very well told. thanks for this this is one of my fav movies, especially the story.
😳 Damn! That was surprisingly concise! Didn't see that concept in there,...ever. Compliment!
Clever film. Even more clever analysis. Also, whilst watching this, I suddenly realised the references made to this film in Grand Theft Auto V.
This analysis is perfection.
absolutely fantastic analysis, you really did your homework!
Rewatched this yesterday. Great video
Hey Matthew, great video! Could you link the paper you talk about at 10:25? The Indiana University about Male Traits, I wasn't able to find it via google and would love to read it.
Thank you!
One of my favorite films ever made!
“What does it matter if I’m the west men are men”
You couldn’t have choosen a better line to end the video
🙏🏽
I think it’s a great ending. In the west criminals have a much more cowboy style of doing things as opposed to the east coast where things are more organized and structured. Unless you’re in a gang or in the drug trade. Hence the way heat is set up. There is no central power source or crime boss or family but a bunch of loose networks of criminals operating their own scores and hustles. In the west men answer to no one and are men of themselves not a representation of another group or boss. The organizational mindset of the East Coast was built out of the culture of everyone living tightly close together and growing up with each other. Everyone knows everyone in the tight New York City neighborhoods for example. Where is in Los Angeles or on the West Coast, you could live next-door to somebody for 10 years and not even know their name. That is because everyone lives in their vehicles and live in their own world. In the west indeed men are men
Edited: yu almost getting there with his's quote, * I'm the West Men, Man.
Fastest I have clicked on one of your vids
I know these take a lot of time but your channel would absolutely blow up if you could figure out how to release one ever week around the same time.
there is no physical way I could do months of research and then write and edit one of these in one week. Re-uploading this to YT alone took four days and thirty-two different cuts to get by the bots. Haha. but I know what you mean when it comes to YT's algorithms.
Thank you! My favorite crime film of all time.
Nice vid man, do more film analysis!
I am
Such great information. Very well articulated👍you got a Niche buddy!
Deep and Insightful Analysis! Great Stuff! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Top video mate, appreciate the content
Great take on this multilayered, complex, amazing film.
Great analysis of my favorite movie of all time
Very well done, enjoyed this very much. Thank You
Really well done, Matthew!
How did you get so good at dissecting movies and understanding them with so much depth? Everything you said was spot on as if you worked with Michael Mann while he wrote the script.
Just good at guessing sometimes
So "Heat" is a prequel in the "The Fast and the Furious" film series. Because family!
ha!
Stunning video man
Thank you!
Kudos my friend 🙌✨ TERRIFIC essay!
12:51 Cobra. Thank you so much for this One!
21:00 Profound
You’ve got a gift my man.. Subbed
a wonderful analysis and this work is much appreciated
phenomenal! love the video
Thank you for this. Really enjoyed this look at my Favourite film.
mine too!
1995 was a rough time in my life this movie has spoken so much to me the duelality of man
watching so many Heat interpretations, this still added to the experience.
glad it did!
Not going to front there wasn't a dry eye in the movie theater when Ashley Judd gave him the sign to go including mine.
"You've done a man's job sir" "I guess ..." i will subscribe.
Brilliant upload bro.
Matt your a epic man. well done my man.
There is a scene in the film which I find quite defining, It`s when he`s in a car under the elevated road with the informer telling him " My Sargent says Vincent likes you, You do this sharp, Look how they did this sharp " He admires his professionalism, Neil gives smile and a laugh, Neil is obviously not signing on the dole, So his persisting in pursuing crimes is not driven by sheer necessity, I think as Michael implied, It`s the jazz of it, We don`t know how Neil got caught and sent to prison before, But Neil I think is is somewhat attracted to professional theft, So the previous crimes have been a learning curve to him, When the guy shot the guard it was the lack of professionalism which ends up causing most of the trouble, Your theory about shadow work is not there for me, Neil clearly states in the famous diner scene, " Regular type life, What`s that ? BBQ`S and ball games ! ? " Neil is not concerned too much as to working on his shadow, He did seem to imply something when he states " After this, I will be going away for a while " But that`s not much, As with the ending , Although it`s somewhat subjective, For me, Back in the diner scene Neil said firmly " If you do have me boxed in, I will not hesitate, Not for a second " Neil was caught between not going back to prison, And killing Vincent, He at the end chose suicide by Police Officer, The shadow doesn`t really help Vincent as the previous scene shows Neil has the drop of Vincent, You also have to keep in mind the unwritten rules of the Hollywood establishment, They cannot let the gangsters win, " Get Carter, " Scarface, " " Carlito's Way " Even comedy crime capers like " The Italian Job " It`s the same thing in the end
Neil is engulfed in his shadow.
Someone posted a video on my favorite movie? Subbed...
5:44 There was no sign of this highway in the background on the [VHS] tape ... love Michael Mann
Micheal, I am a man , and I think I love you. Well done.
I can't wait for Heat 2 to come out
You should definitely do one on Miami Vice
I talked about MIAMI VICE in my Michael Mann / Female essay but don't have much more to add about it.
Right on man ... you should do one on public enemies.
Tony Crisp, is that right? I want to look into his work. Awesome video BTW!
I once saw someone remark how they didn't make movies like HEat any more, anow all movies were too "woke"
For the record
The cop squad consists of an italian american, an african american, a nativa american and two white men, by the end of the film, the two white cops are dead or incapacitated, while the ethnically diverse cops are still active. Furthermore, their race is never alluded to and they are shown as highly capable detectives.
Waingro, the only unredeemalbe character is shown to be a racist and a sexual predator.
The difference between Hanna and Neil in the film comes down to the fact that Hanna can empathaise and show love, he comforts the murder victims mother and he is distressed when he finds his step daughter in the bath, he even amicably seprates from his wife when he realises he cannot meet her emotional needs.
The plot shows a recently released african american man being forced to work a menial job and kick back a bribe to his boss to prevent being sent back to prison, and being forced out of desparation to re enter the criminal life, his death is only treated as a tragedy.
Heat is a really woke film, you just didn't realise it.
Absolute love that you produced something about Mann! Haven't even had a go of it yet but wanted to jazz it up before I forget. Cheers 😎🍻🦘🦥🧑🏻🎤 [edit: just thought maybe you might wanna do the whole spoiler alert thing? But then again who hasn't seen these total gems from the Mann/Scorcese/Etc. catalogues?? Very clever nonetheless. Bravissimo!]
Wow! Great analysis!
Amazing breakdown, thank you.
Man, I like the analyst on this movie. Deep.
Heat is based on a true story - Neil McCauley vs Detective Chuch Adamson in 1964. Two actually had encounter and conversation in coffee shop. McCauley was killed during the shootout. Interesting...
Excellent. The utmost of excellence. 👍👍👍
I’ll just say a. thank you b. Brilliant break down
Good Analysis. Choice makes or breaks a man an family.
Awesome video man.
This video was fantastic!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Can you please do crouching tiger, hidden dragon?
Great analysis Matt! What do you think about Heat 2 the book and upcoming movie? I can't wait, i loved the book and the characters in it.
Haven’t read it yet!
This is a very insightful video on my absolute favorite movie...can you do a video on the movie Shot Caller (2017) Ric Roman Waugh (director) which is my second favorite
You ascribe the trait of sexual promiscuity to Neal (Deniro) but he only has one sexual partner in the movie and wants to have long term relationship with her.
Very good observation
*Neil
That is definitely true, but I think the uploader said this because of his one night stand. Having one doesn't really mean he is necessarily promiscuous, but it implies that he is, I guess.
Great video. Thank you.
This is a bad ass video
