Funny how the early 2000s still felt like the 90s compared to today lol. The 2010s also feel old now with such rapid technological advancement.
Yeah, right? I love the early 2000s/2010s. I think 2012 was like a transitional period between the two decades.
@@DerHalbeEuro True the 90s was still very much in the early phases of that digital age of information revolution / distraction from nature and outdoors. People just felt more connected through thick and thin. Lack of that morning sunlight upon waking up these days can maybe effect the whole day.
@@Aethon_is_here It's usually ~2 years into a decade that the feel of one starts. The "90s" feel is like 92-02 for example and the "00s" feel is 02-12 and now we've made the real transition into the 20s from the 10s.

It takes a decade a few years for it to form its own identity
Are we not going to talk about how BRIGHT 2000's movies are?
Especially on div x.. whoah monitor glare
Depends if we are at the start or later in the decade. With the last Harry Potter films and and others later in the decade they were so dark it was like the camera crews forgot how exposure works.
@@certs743 lucky they were white characters.. if they were dark itd be like zoolander mining scene
When I think of what 2000s movies looked like I think of the high contrast between light and dark colors
preferable to the bullshit HD dimness that Nolan loves
"Chick flicks" were definitely a defining genre of the era too. Devil Wears Prada, Mean Girls, Love Actually, 13 Going on 30, Miss Congeniality, Mamma Mia, I could go on and on since there were so many. They definitely had that same 2000s movie feeling to them though.
To me they have no strong visual identity compared to 20 years Later. Everything before that had a much stronger visual identity
@@quasarulas3968 do you mean the 2000s are more like the 2020s than the 1980s are like the 2000s?
Don’t forget the GOAT, Legally Blonde
And rom-coms!
I feel like you can’t talk about 2000s movies without mentioning the EXCESS of parody movies
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story was the pinnacle though. The [Disaster Movie] type series were the worst schlock ever, and were great to hire from Blockbuster for the housemates to watch drunk and the DVD would skip because the last people used it for a coaster. The 2000s is the 90's of the 2000s.
@@GlennDavey Dewey Cox is the best parody film I’ve ever seen. Hilarious in all regards
Scary Movies franchise. Lol
Good stuff.

parody movies were really popular in the 80s and 90s too.
The early 2000s has a 90s feel to me still. Feels like the actual 2000s didn't kick off until 2003, similar to 2013 with the 2010s.
It usually takes a few years into a new decade to notice a change. Now that it’s 2023, the 2010s now feel like a distant memory.
Lol, the 90s were basically the come down of the 80s and the upswing of the 2000s. They did not have a 90s “feel”. 😂
Once a person said a decade doesn't end in 10, but 12 years instead. I agree.

@@jonpaul3868 not all decades. And yes, 2000s started in 1998 and ended in 2010.
Now having lived in 4 decades, I'll say the 2000s were definitely my favorite, and films added to the overall joy in that era.
That’s a bizarre way of saying you were born kn the 90’s, which means you didn’t actually experience the 90’s because you were most likely a toddler, the early 2000’s you grew up in and look back on with nostalgia, and were probably a weirdo teenager in the 2010’s

The 2000s
The last decade where Hollywood was transitioning from original films to giving up and making franchise
Well said.
Not just franchises, but franchises based on pre-existing franchises (comic books, books, TV shows, etc.).
No. The first decade of franchises. Kicked off by lord of the rings and Harry Potter in 01.
It was overall franchises already through most of the 2000s.
I remember Roger Ebert pointing out how refreshing Inception (2010) was after years of mostly franchises when it came to big budget films.
I love cinematography, one thing you didn’t point out is that digital didn’t surpass film for movies till 2013. The vast majority of movies in the 2000s were indeed on film.
They did use digital for post production like you said but they would basically edit the physical film and digitize it.
Thank you!
Extactly, I think that this is the point with 2000s movies, they show a world that is so similiar to ours but with the film look
For me the early 2000’s looks so much, more 90’s ish than everything after 2007.
More bright, sunny L.A ish, more Grit and Texture.
Later they got more bland. Looked more, like today’s movies. Less aesthetic.
Early 2000’s was very aesthetic. Where as when things became more, digital they looked, matt and boring.
Essentially from 2000 -2007 they all, had more of that classic film movie look. Grainy, very warm, textured, theatrical.
Afterwards they started looking a lot, more like today’s very digital movie landscape.
But surprisingly, the movie American Gangster. Looked like it was, released in 1993 or something. Even tho it was, released in 2007.
The cinematography also was very different, early on it was more theatrical. Mild somewhat like previously in the 80’s and 90’s. Stereotypically Movie like.
Afterwards it felt kinda, over exaggerated or overly Cinematic. Kinda B-movie like.
They needed to wait until the arri Alexa to have a digital camera with enough dynamic range to match film
2000s is the best era for sense of humor, compared to these days

@@liltree8382 Road Trip, Vanwilder, Eurotrip, American Pie 2, Rush Hour 2, Next Friday, Friday After next, Scary Movie 2, Bad Santa. The early 2000s had some good comedies for sure.
Yeah, it was actually the time when you could make a joke without getting everyone offended.
Couldn't agree more. I'm a late 90's kid. The 2000's was my childhood and teens growing up.
That Era back then was full life. Especially simplier.
@@DanielCh9393 it’s not that people weren’t offended. It’s because they didn’t have anywhere to voice their displeasure since social media wasn’t really mainstream yet.
One of my favorite shots in any movie that depicts the sign of the times is the final shot in Superbad, showcasing just another day in a shopping mall.
Yes and they separate meaning coming of age meaning ok.. we arnt going to go alcohol hunting and get in trouble

Scene always got me in the feels. Ending song was perfect too. It really captured “growing up, getting older, and drifting apart” without any words.
@@sasquatchhunter86 yes, its different for everyone (over... 16 i guess.. unless your culture grows you up quicker...) but whatever and whenever you have that feeling it hits you like a cold haircut but not a nice one.. you feel different but look the same, so no one can actually see your different
So ovverated 💀💀. It’s good but not that great
@@Usabby1776 its old school feel
Something that helped 2000s movies feel special was the amazing marketing behind them. I love looking at the old products and ads and such for movies like Spider-Man and Shrek.
Compared to today, the marketing is bad. Movies nowadays don’t try to market, only with trailers.
@@DavidValeTXWhy marketing if it's often just soulless content fodder for streaming services? They even deleted Willow as if it never happened lmao.
I find a lot of nostalgia in adds and marketing and that doesn’t get brought up much. Like recently I’ve been using tubi (free streaming app) but they show adds, but the adds they show are like throwback Tv adds I don’t ever see anymore as someone who only uses streaming apps.
2007 was an amazing year! So much awesome movies!
Yup, 2007 was one of the best years ever. its no coincidence that once 2008 happened (with the Big Stock Market Crash & the Hollywood Writer's Strike in 2008), things noticeably went downhill soon after that
Speaking about 2007 and movies. i remember when i was online back then i would sometimes get super low resolution and framerate ads for movies that looked hilarious.
@@natesamadhi33 New Kanye was born
@@619rasta kan2.0
Let's face it, this whole debate about which year is the best and worst is kind of ridiculous, don't you think? There's positives and negatives about each year. For me when 2007 happened, I originally hated it because my great-aunt died of bone cancer and my sister's second guinea pig passed away as well early that year, but now that I'm older I realize it also had it's bright moments, particularly during one point in summer. Same with 2013, as much as many people hated that year when it happened, I personally loved that year as a kid, and now as an adult I recall it having some darker times as well, especially between September and December (and even at one point during late February).
In conclusion, we should neither be ashamed of or glorify our past. It's always what we choose to do that defines our lives.
I believe that the defining genre of the 2000s was fantasy: Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, Star Wars prequels, Chronicles of Narnia, Shrek, etc... As for superhero films, X-Men preceded Spider-Man in that decade. The Hong Kong influence in Hollywood also continued from the 90s w/ the rise of wire-fu & gun-fu techniques seen in the likes of Kill Bill & Mission Impossible 2.
And MI:2 was directed by John Woo, *T H E* Gun-Fu guy!
And Yuen Woo-ping, the master of wire-fu, choreographed the fights in Kill BIll.
agreed. Also, Eragon, The Goldem Compass, Peter Pan, there was a lot of fantasy. I kinda miss that.
Don’t forget Transformers. That film revolutionized CGI
@@logger22 That's sci-fi. Along w/ The Matrix sequels and Avatar.
I really miss the 2000s especially the movies. The world lived a certain "joy" and hope for a better future and this was reflected in society as a whole in music, arts and movies where we had an explosion of romantic comedies, adventur, the beginning of superheroes and coming age movies and animations. All these productions aspire to a bright future, but mostly they were all human stories and everyday dilemmas (of course until the 2008 crisis)
Movies from the 2000s just seem hopeful and full of life, the comedy in them is also raw and unfiltered. Now everything is filtered to not offend anyone…. If you haven’t watched it yet, I highly recommend “Accepted” starring Justin Long!
Movies were fun back then, watched accepted a few months ago, not a great film but it was fun to watch. Different world now
Because even though 9/11 happened, well it was the new millennium! Get excited~! Remember NYE 99? We're gunna do it!!!! So there was a "rah rah rah" manic energy to the humour.
I love the 2000s because of that. Political incorrect or unfiltered but same time progressive without pandering to anyone. And it had a positive vibe, especially in scifi films and series. I love Farscape, Andromeda, Stargate, Firefly etc. because of that philosophy of filmmaking. And even the films or series often looked silly or quirky they still had good writing. At least way better writing than those pseudo progressive "woke" stuff.
@Justin, Ikr. The 90's crawled, so the 2000's could walk/run.
@@BrianAwesome And the 2000's ran so the 2010's could leap. And the 2010's leaped so that the 2020's could fall. And once we hit the ground, the 2030's will get back up and crawl, thus beginning a the cycle anew.
I always defined the early 2000s as the chill slacker period, wicked clothes, awesome films, chill music, just a whole atmosphere of peace and calmness, no rush, just smoke weed and listen to The Kottonmouth Kings
Despite ya know, 9/11 happening

The 2000’s were the best days to be a kid! The movies, shows, and overall lifestyle was Heaven compared to the craziness that goes on today. It was a perfect balance between advanced technology and still having an old school mindset. I remember the closest thing to social media was video game consoles and those were the good old days. I miss media companies creating fun and entertaining shows and movies that weren’t afraid to touch on serious issues in order to teach kids how to be decent human beings. The 2000’s were the good old days!
i couldnt agree more with everything you said, even though i was born in 2004. I feel like my year is the last of the years that children still got to experience what its like to be a child, without technology and social media being pushed down our throats, im so grateful for that.

Thanks to the American Pie movies.
If I could grow up again I would savor those days more thoroughly
Same. I thought it was garbage at the time. Trash culture. Little did I know what was to come...
This is an interesting analysis because I remember how people around the early 2010s were glad the flashy 2000s were over. I remember everyone from critics, pop-culture experts and just people in general complaining about that “era”, and especially the films were oftentimes considered "creatively empty" during this period.
The economic recession definitely changed the game, because around this time, revolutionary cinema like the Dark Knight and Casino Royale came out and really changed it all. Every blockbuster after that was either dark or "serious", probably because people craved that at the time - realism as a coping mechanism in response to the recession. We are seeing a similar pattern now with current dominating movies, it's either repetitive superhero films or reboots - it seems quite dull and I wonder if we're gonna have something like "The Dark Knight" or "Casino Royale" to shake things up and change the film industry in like 5 years time. That will unfortunately probably call for another global crisis once again, (despite we’ve already had Covid and an inflation) but one can wonder.
Do the marvel creators ever get bored of creating super powers
Because its like
They cant get any more super erer.. they are immortal or have tokens to restart everything or whatever
There is no kryptonite there is only more little super heroes but they get annoying because now we have to have a movie shoot off about them.. what next
Groot and his twig... the netflix series...
Just stuck in the forests of auatralia using power to transfer water to a stargate which empties over the fires
It's weird how it's always defined by 10 years though. People were happy the decade was over, as if things will now change because a decade has past? And thing did change. But I find it really weird how it always has to take 10 years from 2000 to 2010 or from 80s to 90s or 50s to 60s until things start to change, and because of that each decade is always given an identity once it's passed. Am I the only one that thinks this is weird? It's like the behaviour of a machine, those are the rules for as long as we have a fully functioning society and it'll always be like that.

2000s movies are way better then 2020s of movies
For some reason, i feel a string and special interest about 2000s and early 2010s stuff (technology, lifestyle, music, videos, movies and video-games), like if it would has a special "air" like smelling an old book. It feels like unique.
The early 2000’s was unique in its own way. We had the best console generation that revolutionized gaming for what it is today. The clothing style of big baggy clothes to sister and emo trends which had a lot of creativity in style. Movies were amazing rom com superhero flicks parody movies and when CGI was at its peak like lord of the rings. But the 2010’s and 2020’s hasn’t had special impactful events like back then it’s like everything went backwards
@@JessicaGarcia-xf9wr Especially in the writing department.
@@JessicaGarcia-xf9wr 2010's was a good decade of film. Not the best of course, but there were some awesome movies.
The 2000s was the last time big Hollywood movies had original ideas. The problem is much of our good memories are tainted by the 2010s making endless sequels to these successful original movies. Movies today are creatively bankrupt and we have to turn to the internet for indie creators making new ideas, because you won't get it from Hollywood movies anymore, just regurgitated sequels.
I think the 2010s will eventually be marked as the forgettable or throw away decade in the future. And on the flip side of that. When people finally give the 2000s its respect like they give the 90s(Which as an early 90s baby, was not as great imo), I think people will regard it as truly the last good decade to have grown up during once they figure out what all the 2000s had to offer.
Literally 10 years ago in the early 2010s people mentioned how 2000s movies were forgettable
@@skywishr1313 I think this applies to every era/decade ever. I remember reading this newspaper that was made in the 1800s where they complained about people running out of creative ideas and nothing original ever came lol - like this was the 1800s!!. It's just people missing the past because they probably associate that era with something personal, and the desire to imitate it's authenticity probably. There are so many films nonetheless from the 90s, 2000s and 2010s that have been marvellous and others that are truly forgettable, it's just nobody remembers the forgettable ones really. Even I remember how people were glad the flashy 2000s were over, in terms of everything, and strangely now, people miss those times. Can't wait for people to miss the 2020s in 2030 - this always happens.
@@kamilyakadyr7063 Sure, but never before we had nostalgia for decade that was 40 years ago, like 80s. I dont remember anyone in 80s feeling so nostalgic about 30s or 40s and making tons of rebooted movies from that era, there were some sure, but mostly was original or from 60s.

I'm 30 now and its wild to see so much nostalgia for the 2000s. Didn't feel that long but ago but here we are! What a special time.
Not just horror movies, horror movie remakes. No idea why the hell they decided that was the time to remake horror classics, going well into the 2010s
Why did you start with 2 examples of remakes of better, older movies? That says more about 2000s horror movies than what you intended to say.
@@MaynardCrow my only intention was to say that they were popular, not necessarily better lol
Pretty bizarre to see all these comments about how hopeful and peaceful the 2000s were lmao. It’s because you were a kid, its how people always feel about their childhoods after the fact, it’s certainly not how the rest of the world felt
I too find it strange. I was born in January 1990, and the 2000s to me never seemed "hopeful and peaceful". Literally 90% of people I knew wanted the 70s, 80s and 90s back. All I remember is everyone complaining about religion, debating about Iraq and Afghanistan, liberals angry at George Bush, what to do with gays, etc. and by 2004, I remember vividly like yesterday stuff from 1999 looked like an ancient relic from a bygone era.
I think it’s sad how less and less tv shows are filmed on film. this distinctive look that’s still versatile but just makes everything look more rich in detail and color. And the range goes from breaking bad to glee easily but they all have this beautiful film texture.
Yea like Malcolm in the middle just felt very natural. You would see the brothers just doing something outside in their neighborhood and it looked like real life, it didn't look like fake digital new age shows and movies.
It's perfectly understandable, considering how cost-effective it is. However, when you look at formats like 70mm film, it's getting really hard for digital to compete. A film will always have an "infinite" resolution, that is not divided into pixels, but into tiny crystals in the film. If you had 140mm film, the only thing you need is a projector capable of projecting it, enough of said film, and a camera capable of using it. It's all just chemistry and mechanics.
But if you wanted to achieve the same image fidelity with a digital camera, you'd need EXPONENTIALLY more hard drive space, insane amount of computing power, and huge bandwidth. That's the inherent benefit of film. 55 years ago when computers had less computing power than your fire alarm, you had movies filmed in 70mm which would take terabytes of space if scanned in uncompressed 8k format, let alone in 16k format.
There’s no many film makers, nut ass Hollywood with their money desperate asses won’t hired them
As someone who was a kid during the 2000s the style of it is very nostalgic
If the 80s and 90s didn’t have such good movies- the 2000s would definitely be my top favorite decade in cinema. The colors in real life movies and animation were vibrant, they were ironic, raunchy, ahead of their time and clearly very nostalgic.
Nah, the 2000s is in my opinion, the worst decade of movies. There's a lot of awesome movies but those a fuck ton of movies that are 1/10s. Most you probably never heard of.
@@TheListenerCanon eh, even so, I still stand by my statement. There’s plenty of other decade movies that are not that known now either.
@@TheListenerCanon That goes for every decade.
The 2000's is better than the 80's. Problem with the 80's was the amount of B-Tier Arnold action flicks that defined the decade. The 2000's has There Will Be Blood, No Country for Old Men, In Bruges, The Departed, LOTR Trilogy, Inglorious Basterds, Brokeback Mountain, Training Day, etc.

Blood in the 70s always had an orangey red color to it. It was so strange, but very memorable. 70s movies were also all around more violent and graphic for some reason once you got into the rated R territory.

Another genre that comes to mind when thinking of movies in in the 2000s is disaster/apocalypse movies, usually some environmental calamity or alien invasion... such as The Day After Tomorrow, The Happening, The Core, War of the Worlds, I Am Legend, Cloverfield... There was even that parody "Disaster Movie"
I think it was because of the high profile terror attacks and the real dawning of climate chance and environmental damage in the zeitgeist that "2000's Disaster/Apocalypse Setpiece" is a subgenre unto itself.
A side note, I recently rewatched the '05 version of War of the Worlds and I was stunned at how relentlessly *grim* it was for a big shiny summer movie of the era. That whole segment in the flooded basement of the house...jeez. I mean, it's closer to how that scene plays out in the novel than it did in the 50's movie, but still.
Those started in the 90's though, Twister, Volcano, Dante's Peak, Armageddon, Deep Impact, Daylight.

I agree. I love that positive mindset of the 00s. Progressive but without being dogmatic or pandering. And the writing was better than today's lazy writing (rings of power, resident evil series, willow series, cleopatra "documentation", womanking, star wars 7-9 etc)
But there is some light at the end of the tunnel. Andor, despite being from Wokewood, doesn't seem woke but rather like a 90s or 00s show but with today's technology advancement in filmmaking and it shows. I hope Wokewood learns from Andor.
Another defining genre of the early 2000s was the historical epic: think Gladiator (2000), Troy (2004), Kingdom of Heaven (2005), and 300 (2007). We don’t get movies like that today.
Thanks a really good point! Thanks for commenting.
Those are the types of movies I miss the most. Same with fictional epics like LOTR, King Kong, Pirates of the Caribbean etc. It’s kind of over-said but they really don’t make movies like that anymore (or if the do they don’t feel the same because they’re shot digitally and usually have some weird agenda to them).
I'm also a Pilipino and all I remember was the 2000s was a Decade of Family Movies
@@adronator The best example, on how different and unique Sci fi and Fantasy movies from the 2000s were, is the difference between the Star Wars prequels and the modern sequels. The prequels had a intelligent way of combining the lush score of John Williams, the colorful and authentic pictures together with telling a story with philosophical and political approaches, which picked up the interest of the viewer. All the sequels and "A Star wars story" movies don't do that in any way. Sure, they don't look bad at all, but unfortunately they do not differ at all in their look and the basics of their plot from all the other Sci Fi movies nowadays. Not even the score by Williams in the sequels matched in the same unique way of telling a story, like in the prequels
One thing i noticed about the 2000s is how much better and popular movies with a medieval/ancient setting got. i can't even think of any good 90s movies with that setting maybe Braveheart. in the 2000s you had a lot more epic movies like lord of the rings 300 gladiator and many more in the 90s people preferred modern times or sci-fi. in the 2000s it suddenly became cool again to fantasize about being a spartan warrior or a medieval knight .in the 90s that was considered nerdy we wanted to be like Rambo or the terminator.
It’s cool if you think it’s cool, don’t gaf what the media depicts as nerdy or cool it’s all bs
It was post 9/11; having to be in the modern world sucked. Needed more escape.
What would you think of shows from the middle Nineties to late Nineties, like Sinbad, Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess?
@@NadeemAhmad-me7fp There where not a lot of them. and while people liked xena. it was considered more cheesy and low brow. compared to stuff like star gate or the x files.
@@belstar1128 Lucy Lawless was great though.
I do remember people making fun of the show, but it was a favorite of mine.
The 2000s was also the last decade when alternative music was mainstream and at its peak. You had so many different genres such as punk rock, pop punk, hard rock, metalcore, emo, scene, indie, etc. that were equally popular during this time period. Ever since the 2010s, alternative music has been completely out of the mainstream. Unfortunately, the only genres that are popular now are pop, R&B, and rap. My personal favorite bands from the 2000s range from punk to metalcore such as green day, blink 182, sum 41 and killswitch engage, trivium, avenged sevenfold, bullet for my valentine, etc. I even love the hard rock bands from this decade such as breaking benjamin, three days grace, etc.
Alternative is by default not part of the mainstream, its in the name. Pop punk is also not really punk because of the pop element.
I think one big change in shows and movies is how we communicate. People don't understand it now, but cell phones and access to Google in your pocket changed so much of how we lived. The number of movie or show plots based off of the simple concept of not being able to get an answer right away or just not being able to contact a person is crazy. Just can't be as creative and fun anymore.
During the 2000s is when they started stopping a movie, completely flat to do a flashback or explaining entire backstory
oh yeah, that was a common thing wasnt it. I wonder if that was an imitation of family guy
Yea they did that way too much in the 2000s.
Can you give an example of what you mean? Like which movies and what scenes?
@@adewilson132 the Waterboy is the first time. It was cute and clever…
Mission impossible used it for twist points
The Deleted Scenes from the original Blues Brothers movie that were added back in…
I can come up with a few more movies that could be a half an hour shorter and a better movie
I feel like decades are becoming less and less defined, at least as far as entertainment and general clothing styles. Mostly just defined by what model phone somebody's holding in a movie to me.
Just wait and see, by the end of this decade, the 2010s will have its own identity. I said it before, but I remember feeling sad that in the 2000s, there's more 80s nostalgia going on and no 90s. Cut to the 2010s, 90s nostalgia became a thing. Now, it seems like 2000s nostalgia is a thing.
I don’t know…fashion these days is actually pretty defined (personally, I think it’s ugly as hell, but at least it has a unique identity) And even pop culture. I was a 90’s/00’s kid and I remember you were ostracized to hell and back for liking anime, now that’s the in thing. Music’s very different, too, even from just a few years ago. Movies are starting to turn around in weird ways with things like cocaine bear, Megan, and violent night…starting to feel like this crazy mixture of 70’s/80’s/90’s/00’s films, just bringing the stupid fun back into cinema, probably because that’s what people want to see with all the BS going on in our lives right now. It’s still very early in the 2020’s, but this is actually one of the biggest culture changes I’ve seen in a long time. Probably have the pandemic to thank for that.
As someone who was born in the early 2000s, I can definitely relate to this video and agree with the points that were brought up here.
There was something rather special about the mid-late 2000s that I don't think could ever be so easily replicated.
True. Especially for ppl born 94-04
Im glad someone spoke on this, i always had this feeling when I watched older films and noticed a huge shift
Wow the way you explain things really help me understand why we do some of the things that you don’t think much about while editing a video/movie.
Oh the 00’s…. Waking up on a spring day smelling the fresh air. Booting up my modded Xbox original followed by watching American pie band camp with my two older bros. Those were the days.
Amazing video series, how can this video only have 800 views? Its so well done. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! 😊

Thank you! We really appreciate it! We just hit 1k subs last night and it was a huge milestone for us. We're happy that we got here :)
Dude, omg, thank you so much for the flashbacks, lmao😂❤!! I'm about to go watch the 90s and 80s ones now, lol
2000s raunchy comedies definitely had a lot of heart that often sneaks up on you. The endings of Knocked Up, Superbad come to mind.
This is off topic but late 90s & 2000s wrestling hit very different as well. Felt very raw & edgy if it makes sense. The stage, the themes, the camera flashes everything looked soo good.
Very off topic
@@NicotineRosberg **kurt Angle germansuplexing you for that comment (for five straight minutes).**
at this point 2000s movies are pretty much all i watch. not necessarily just for the nostalgia factor either i think most new movies just genuinely suck
“2000s movies feel different because life was different in the 2000s.”
The 2000's was nuts and awesome at the same time. Alongside raunchy comedies, there were a lot of teen/college oriented parody movies. Another trend was live action adaptions. While they have been done over the decades, this was the big boom of so many properties finally coming to live action, thanks to all the new technology (most especially CGI). On one hand, you've got live action Scooby Doo, Alvin and the Chipmunks and Dragonball... on the other hand, we got Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Spider-Man and Watchmen. Come to think of it, this was also a huge, HUGE resurgence of sci-fi/fantasy. Since the 2000's, these genre's have been going strong in cinema. There was SO MUCH fantasy in the 2000's. Oh, and don't forget the increased use of wire work kung fu in live action movies, thanks to the Matrix and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

2008 was the peak of cinema 🎦
I clicked because of Superbad, I remember really relate to this movie and how I felt the similarities between me and Jonah Hill.. rough school days, alone and sad and want to be popular 😔, wish that I could relive the vibe..
With the 2000s I also notice a large suburban theme. Like every single romcom is in the suburbs with a random person always running.
That Scorpion King reveal 😂
LOVE the video. It speaks to so much of what I feel about movies and culture generally in the 2000s. My only criticism would be the use of the term punk rock. Pop punk and alt are better descriptions. When I think of punk I think of Sex Pistols, Dead Kennedys, Casualties, DRI, Black Flag, etc.
There were a lot of really great movies during this time, and audiences loved them. But soon everything will be a franchise/shared universe or reboot!
I’m so happy I stumbled upon ur channel and when I saw you did this type of vid for the 80s and 90s I had to see those first and then finish this one and I even watched a few of your first videos and this channel is so much fun for a film lover like me. Please keep up the interesting video ideas, essays, and reviews bc u are an incredible UA-cam Channel and I’m so glad to subscribe and see what else u bring to this awesome channel
Thanks for the comment, it means a lot! Hopefully you’ll enjoy our upcoming videos!
Commenting after having watched the video. I subbed and liked after like three seconds of hearing the narrator speak. Dude you are so likeable. I was right in liking and subbing because no matter what you said I was entertained so well. Kudos.
In terms of technology, it's certainly true that digital post production became dominant during this period, however Digital did not surpass Film until the early 2010s. You had early adopters like George Lucas, Michael Mann and David Fincher but most directors didn't switch until the following decade.
That's definitely true about fashion and the music genres, in the 00s 2 biggest styles standed out where you're either into baggy clothes of street hip hop or that skater like streetwear Emo lifestyle, they were the best of both worlds!
@Dylee What?
@Dylee Oh wassup Dylan
The 2000s have my fav films and shows. The Star Wars prequels, Raimi trilogy, Harry Potter, lord of the rings, smallville, ICarly, clone wars, avatar the last air bender, Superbad, and more. Sometimes I wish I was born a little earlier than 2005 so I could experience this time with more than just a few very early memories.
I also think technology is also the reason why 2000s movies are so different, it kind’ve made things easier and don’t forget that some of the actors now(from the present) had yet to be born in the 1980s or 1990s.
Other actors that lived in the 1990s or 80s had to do things differently because it was a pre-technology era….and they grew up in those era’s to learn and adapt to how things worked. And because technology finally came around in the 2000s, the actors we have today that have lived in the 2000s era learned to adapt to it.
I feel this way all the time. I've devoted my life to living like it's the 2000s and will do so for the rest of my life until the very day a time machine that can take me back to the 2000s is invented.
As someone who really loves movies, good movies to be precise, I love your content maan.. Btw you nailed it on that fashion photo of all the 2000's looks in one picture 👌🏽💯 had me "ROTFLMAO" #2000 reference 😉😂
Thank you! ☺️
I also think a big difference in films from the 2000s as opposed to those from the 2010s onwards is politics
There definitely were political films from the 2000s but they were always relevant to the plots and if they weren’t the politics were subtle, whereas I find contemporary cinema is really unsubtle and shoves unnecessary politics down your throat at the expense of good story (The Last Jedi is a film that immediately pops to mind which does this rather jarringly, specifically the casino scene)
A couple movie trends I remember seeing a lot as a kid in the early 2000s was live action movies staring talking CGI animals, spy dramas and everything being in 3D at the time. Another thing was that every movie at the time was colour graded to be ether a dark lightning blue or desert brown.
One furniture trend I want to see return some day are those large ass box tv’s with the large speakers on the side of them. Those things were cool.
2000s movies and the weird obsession with that bloom effect almostfelt like i needed sunglasses to watch them
I miss the 2000s...
Transformers, Iron Man and the Dark Knight were some of the most badass movies of my childhood
That’s a fact 😭😭😭
Mean Girls is the quintessential “2000s” movie for me.
This video answered so many questions!
Watched "Knocked Up" for the first time recently and it really made me reminisce about my childhood. I miss the 2000s. Simpler times, but still enough entertainment and technology that felt cool.
LOL you're talking about the 2000s like I talk about the 80's. This is so WEIRD being this old. Sorry, it's my first time...
@@GlennDavey Bro its weird for me too. I never thought Id be one of those "back in my day" people but here I am at age 25 doing that. Things change so fast. Im getting old :(
@@SaucyLiving I'm not going to crap on your experience, or tell you "but you're so young". I went through the exact same thing when I turned 25. The quarter life crisis is real. We both have lived through similar periods, mine was 9/11 whatever the 2000s thought it was trying to be with its pointless war, trash culture and financial crisis -whatever GTA parodies- and yours is *gestures broadly* this. In good news, your 30's will be pretty cool, and bring a new swagger to your life, and probably some orgies if that's your thing. (But yeah middle-life crisis will hit early if a pandemic comes out of no-where). I dunno. Take this all with a grain of salt, I'm Monday night drinking
@@SaucyLiving You can tell I'm a 2000's guy because "orgies" was my priority there...
Best time 2000s and 2010s after that...today's social media change a lot of things...we can say in a good way but also open some many things like scams and many more...
Great presentation man! Your voice is great to hear! And editing is on point! Keep growing! 👏🏻🔥
Cgi also started to make movies rubbish. It was once something that complimented and enhanced a movie. Into the 2010s it started to become a replacement for poor story writing.
Like frosting/icing enhancing a cake, you wouldn’t want it to become the cake.
Unfortunately i think cgi overuse is big reason to why we have so many poor movies today
It's really sad how trash the current CGI standard is, movies look so damn cheap and cheesy now
Great video!
great video again!
Keep up this quality content and you'll go far 👏
Thank you! 😊
I grew up in the 2000s, born in 03, didn't listen to Holiday by Green Day, definitely didn't listen to In the Club by 50 cent. I didn't even have internet access until 2011 and instead listened to Karsh Kale from my windows XP sample tracks and Styx from my parents 80s music collection. Grew up in the 2000s, on 80s and 90s tech and media; I'm an anomaly.
I don't really think that's very uncommon, I think most kids hear a lot of their parents old music growing up. Also you would be more of a late 2000's/early 2010's kid as that's when you would have made most of your memories. I was born in 96 but I don't consider myself a 90's kid because while I technically lived through it, I remember nothing about it, there was still tons of 90's media hanging around while I was growing up though.
Widescreen became popular in the 2000s, yes, but this was before HDTV. DVD already supported widescreen, which (together with TV broadcasts starting in the 90s) allowed it to be become as popular in the 2000s as it did. The rise of HDTV only started in the second half of the decade.

Compared to now, I really miss those good ole days.
2000s was also the resurgence of fantasy movie, Lord of the rings, Harry Potter, chronicles of Narnia
I love the teen comedies of the 2000s like Superbad and America Pie
Good video bro
It would always be goated 🙏🏽💯‼️
The amount of great comedy movies we got back then was such a luxury compared to today.
My Favorit movie decades are the 90‘s and 2000‘s! 💪
Dude where’s my car is perfect encapsulation of 2000s style and humor.
*OMG!* I absolutely *LOVE* looking at what extras are wearing in 2000s movies! Like Not Another Teen Movie for example. Remember these people came with these hairstyles and clothes from home! They're told to look like a student for example but that man in the back brought the frosted tips spiked up wholly on his own accord and I find it hilarious and fascinating to hunt for in the background
What I recognized, the definitive Cars (NOT PIXAR CARS) that always be in 2000s Movies was either Hummer H2 or Cadillac Escalade. Seriously, go count it.
Let’s not forget how Blade saved MCU
Great video. Subscribed
8:55 i love that copyright bypass, well done sir!
i feel like my biggest problem personally with movies now is i can no longer relate to them, even if i didn't enjoy movies from the 2000's, i understood the references and what was going on, now i just feel lost
