The fact that this movie hardly got any press attention...isn't a mistake either.
When Erykah Badu's Tyrone started at the end and I'm like "wait a minute, something is different". From start to finish, this movie was absolutely amazing because of how surreal yet symbolic it was.
Boy I watched this film 3 times in about two days when i finally watched it. Thought it was funny, surreal and thoughtful. Definitely recommend. Super rewatchable
💯
Same! I watched back to back to back damn near 😭
This movie and "sorry to bother you" are honestly some of my favorite movies because the "wackiness" of them allows for such blatant social commentary
Fully 1000% agreed
this was a great essay! the scene where they realised that the chicken was affecting them really reminded me of a moment in the odyssey, where odysseus' men join the lotus eaters and forget their desire to return home (nostos). where the danger in the odyssey is simply forgetting their nostos, the danger here is the system that supplies the lotuses/chicken, as well as the hair cream. however ig it's more likely referring to the roman idea of 'bread and circuses', governments using food and entertainment in order to distract the subjugated populations (the plebians in ancient rome, and black communities here) from the harm they cause. either way this movie is great at breaking down such complex topics!
Its still the plebeians they suppress (ie. everyone who can’t afford to buy his own politicians and has to work for a living).
Its just that they abuse the black people on top of that, because the new romans are also racist.
THANK YOU FAMILY.
THIS MOVIE US SO IMPORTANT.
STRUGGLING TO GET MY PEOPLE TO SIT AND WATCH IT.
ITS LIKE THEY FIGHTING LOOKING INTO THE MIRROR TO FIND A SCARRED FACE.
THANK YOU FOR THIS.
Appreciate the love, thank you for watching
100% a lot of people say it isn't their type of movie but I do think it's 'Get Out' level important for the culture.
This film gave me. Black Dynamite vibes, which I was lucky enough to see on the big screen.i love the ambiguity of when it actually takes place. People drive old whips and talk like it's the 70's, but you have Tyrone who's full on a 90's cat. Like Tim Burton's Batman where it was clearly taking place in modern times but felt like the 50's
It's very anachronistic and pulls it off very well.
I remember going to see Oppenheimer and sitting there for the entire 3 hours and being so unbelievably bored. It wasn't because it was a boring movie, it just didn't excite me enough.
The day after I saw Oppenheimer, I saw this movie and I was BLOWN AWAY by how amazing this was
This was such a weirdly insightful movie. The satire leading to a serious underlying story was such excellent delivery.
It’s a good critique of the system and people’s participation (willing or unwilling) in it.
It’s great it ends the film with pointing out it’s on the community to come together after awakening to the reality of the system
loved this dive, this movie needs so much more attention. can't wait to see you break down more films and shows
Thank you! Stay tuned!
On the purple drink note. My sisters and I attended catholic school and when went to mass they never let us have the communion until we were older. They used wine our black church used ‘grape juice’
The overwhelming majority of Black churches use grape juice. That's why it's in the movie.
I kept thinking that Slick looked familiar and realized it was Jaime Foxx. I have seen him in so many movies and he is mega-famous, but his ability to completely transform himself into the character and make me forget that he is "Oscar Winner Jaime Foxx" is unmatched. This movie deserved so much more discourse than it received. It had heavy themes but I was consistently entertained. Thank you for making this video, it was really interesting and well constructed.
What about Boyega? I couldn't recognize him all!
Gosh thank you for this video this movie was so underrated throughout the year bc of the Barbie and opprehemier craze that summer and given the fact that it’s on Netflix, making it more niche and smaller to audiences especially when we know Netflix doesn’t like promoting/marketing works that aren’t one of their top shows or produced by a acclaimed/legendary filmmaker. I also think it was underrated bc as quiet as it’s as kept, people only like having black people in diverse film genres if it’s in the form of respectability politics no mention of race and always making sure they’re in closer proximity to middle/upper class white areas, whenever a film features black people within inner city/working class areas it’s automatically dismissed as black tramua they don’t want to incorporate sci-fi, fantasy and horror within hood black stories that adds nuances, complexity and challenging white gaze coded visual storytelling I love it took that route with this film
Really well put, this made me think about the subversion of having these "villainous" characters become the protagonists. Redemption and reclamation. Thank you for watching!
When I told the plot to this to my roommates, they dismissed it entirely but were ready to watch You People with Jonah Hill and Eddie Murphy.
They will only watch black entertainment if it was solely made for them to understand and consume
@@dlobelow760agreed I thought about this after seeing American fiction as well as watching a UA-camr talk about black/POC queer love stories in movies and TV and stated that black queer/trans characters are only lovers to each other if its black trauma and he used moonlight and pose as examples, I was like “so bc moonlight and pose take place in inner city areas it’s automatically black tramua when neither of them are legit black traumas?”
The part about being truly free meaning ultimately wanting to free others really stuck with me. Like this video, the problem isn't us who saw the movie and clicked on this video. It's the people that haven't, and don't care to think about these things. With religion or voting, it's equally hard to change someone's beliefs or interest in any system. And to truly try and "free" someone may go against everything they've believed in.
Amazing movie. Amazing breakdown ✌🏾
I'm going to have to wrestle with that idea for a while.
Y'know when they wrote about "life, liberty... etc" those people only lacked liberty in one sense : they didn't have permission to take land from the French or the natives. To this day when you see a patriot type advocating for liberty they still understand it as permission for individuals to dominate others free from external interference.
So imagine that being your only personal understanding of freedom then being told that pursuing freedom is innately connected to liberating others. I'm getting this micro culture shock from reading black people discuss freedom and realizing that whatever they mean by that is something I have no frame of reference for.
They say liberty is one of the hardest words to translate. Almost every culture defines freedom as the freedom from whatever they escaped to form a political identity. So French liberty means the church can't tell you what to do while Iranian liberty may mean nobody is going to take your church away from you. If that's actually how it works, then wouldn't it make perfect sense for the U.S. to have totally separate meanings of freedom existing in the same language?
Sorry, had to get that off my chest.
Absolutely amazing! So much style and the characters were freakin awesome. Especially Jamie Foxx. I'm surprised they don't have a graphic novel or comic for this jawn. Loved this film
It’s the best film for those who know. It’s black masterpiece and should be studied along with Atlanta. Black Surrealism is having an overdue moment.
This was one of my favorites of 2023. Thanks for bringing more attention to it.
This was an amazing breakdown. I’ve watched the movie 3 times and I’ve put so many of my family members and friends on. It it’s so clear that the black community can be what it truly is if we just come together and realize who we are!
The movie is not Who Cloned Fontain. The Los Angles Tyrone is not a clone of Fontain. Fontain is a clone of the Los Angeles Tyrone. Which leads to these 2 questions. How many other clones of Tyrone did they put in other small towns? How many Tyrone are the Fontains of those towns?
Watched this movie high af with two of my best friends while out on a trip. The slow burn of “holy shit, this is actually an amazing movie” was gradual.. and perfect
Dude I literally watched this for the first time right after I watched Sorry To Bother You for the first time
it was an epic night
@@hhhsp951 W
Bro you’re cooking with all your videos. This was amazing.
Thank you for watching! Appreciate it!
it's been 1 minute and 39 seconds and I'm already convinced to watch this movie. Cheers!
Yo this essay is a dangerous beautiful weapon … knowledge is power, and with power comes great responsibility not just to yourself but to each other. Handle with care 🙏🏽 and thank you.
duuude me and my family loved this movie... just so colorful and fun but also very thought provoking. (my excitement doubled 10fold when Venom Snake showed up as the villain)
This was a great video. I watched this and thought of Drill Music in Zion. That album talks about concepts such as our dedication to the material, our views on art vs. product, promises to the streets, and of course commentary on drill music. This movie tackles most of these subjects in such a profound way and when we stop to examine what’s REALLY going on. It’s not hard to see that slavery as a concept is still being put into practice.
And what else is the teir system. It’s yo-yo, pimp, and Tyrone. Where pinup works under Tyrone and yo-yo under him. It’s the system of patriarchy as well which plays into the cyclic circle of the hood. Absent fathers make single mothers and single mothers that make boys that build themselves stronger than they have the material for and girls that are vulnerable or resenting mothers because of how mothers see their reflection. Yo-yo wasn’t even cared about. There were no clones for her because black women aren’t even valued in the community it’s a very underrated and subtle commentary that rings extremely true in the black community. There’s so much to unpack with her alone I really valued yo-yo in the movie. She was the pillar that held everything together but like the truth of black women her hard work goes without credit just silent acknowledgement. What’s seen is mostly what she can offer not what she can do. She’s smart and observant with so many positive attributes but the cyclic thing of her being used rather than utilized makes her a yo-yo. There’s so much string she had before she had to return to the hand of the owner. I could talk about yo-yo for hours it’s so cool
Ooh also the victim of the black man. Such another interesting topic with so much lore
yea i was waiting for someone to mention the importance of black women in this film!! yoyo was the only one who was clued in and wanted to find out more to stop it. but then we find out she ain’t worth anything! hmm i could write more about it but whew u hit it on the head.
I sub because of this video. You were so thoughtful and concise. I think people who are prejudice to people minorities in poverty should see this film and then watch your video.
Im a black woman, and I always try to tell people, understand and lead with compassion. Thats the only way we change and respect each other.
Really appreciate this video coz not a lot of people been talking about this movie! It's more than just a sci-fi movie with a black cast theres so many layers and deep meanings.
My fav part of this movie is the soundtrack tho it's soo good!!
Wow... Excellent break down brother. Thank your for inspiring us to action!💯 When we can learn to see our brothers and sisters in ourselves then we will know real love, self love, and freedom again... It's not about permanent separation and hate for others it's about temporary separation and healing for ourselves first. Then once we're united, healed, and have regain our righteous minds. Then we can deal with "others" with cognitive and spiritual excellence accordingly. 🙏🏾🌱🌿🌳💚💯
Beautifully put, thank you for watching!
7:12 The guy on foot throws up the 666 hand gesture to Tyrone which is the same hand gesture that Fontaine made to Big Moss when he said he would go find Slick Charles himself at the beginning of the movie
how relevant what you are saying about the movie is to reality. your framing lets the art be reality. i appreciate the raw framing
Didn't even know this film existed
bookmarked this video and came back to it after i watched it.
Don't know why you got recommended to me but i'm glad you were
Great video AND social commentary! This movie wasn’t super unpredictable, since it talked about topics that has been addressed before; but it was creative and hopefully the lessons made people THINK about what’s really going on in this country.
Thank you for such a thoughtful video. 🙌🏾
The pitch to people who haven't seen it: of you enjoyed anything spike Lee, the boondocks, get out, and or Chappelle's show, Watch this!
The fact that Jamie Foxx went through everything he went through last year at the exposing a lot of these secrets in these movies that are coming out right now I literally once I saw this I jumped out I 0😅 my mama said where did you find out and I said they called Tyrone is going to change everything for those who were able to read between the it changed everything it changed everything😂🎉❤
this movie wasnt pushed for a reason and it’s because the “heads” of the movie industry know it - really great essay
I absolutely loved this movie! It's one of the movies that I still remember from 2023. It was incredibly funny and meaningful film! I'm glad its being talked about!
i watched this video a few days ago, but then didnt because i thought "maybe i'm gonna watch the film someday", so today i think "I'm in the emood to watch a movie" and saw this one on my list. went in with like not any expectations really and i just finished watching it and holyyyyy damm was that good!!!!!! idk when i last saw that good of a pacing and plot, that story was interesting and coherent as fuckkk. not even starting with the phenomenal acting and social comentary cinematography and dialouge. a movie if I've ever seen one. kinda mad that it wasnt in the cinema tbh. seeing this with friends, you'd have something to talk about for HOURS. but also ig last year there was a lottt of competition with barbie, oppenheimer and spiderverse too, but still this shouldve been oscar nominated damm
I dont have/use netflix so i wasnt aware of this movie, your intro was so compelling i paused it at the spoiler warning in hopes that ill be able to finagle a way to watch it tonight and come back to finish the video. Thrilled to have discovered your channel~
This film was so good, I keep on rewatching it and never fail to recommend it to others.
couldn’t wait for this and you didn’t disappoint 🔥🔥
Thank you! Got more on the way soooon 🫡
Masterclass and beautiful. Well done
20:55 It should be noted that this is common misconception and does not actually appear in the Bible
This was amazing commentary. I love this movie. It’s incredibly refreshing. I haven’t seen the movie in a long time. And your commentary, is incredibly refreshing.
I didn't even know about this movie, wow. Profound analysis, too. Nice job. *subscribes*
Great video, you have so much potential!!!!
This was an eye opener. Thanks for the amazing analysis and insight ❤
Wow, first video of yours I’ve seen and it certainly won’t be the last. What an awesome job you did
awesome work bro... you hit it on the head
damn this was deep in depth, thank you so much🔥✅❤️💯👍
I've been living outside the country and this is the first I've heard of this movie. Thank you. Subscribed.
( All the hyped Netflix fare is also blown up over here.... I'd love to see this movie start popping up... They love Do the Right Thing over here)
Subscribed as soon as I seen Dr Jawanza Kunjufu. Great video bro, learned alot
great video, great analysis man, i'll definitely go look for the big headed yakub story
awesome work!! thanx for your dedication
Killed it with this amazing commentary!💯
Appreciate that bruv
That was an excellent assessment.
Great work!
This film is so funny but makes you feel so so much. The social commentary (i think thats the right word) is brilliant. In a Scifi film! A good scifi film. I also want to praise the visuals because they are gorgeous. Overall the choices made throughout this film are so well made and i enjoyed it thoroughly.
Absolutely loved this movie, have to watch it again soon. Just grabs you from the first moment and keeps pulling you further down the rabbit hole. Illustrates so many things I could never put into words.
Another great video, I loved this movie (my favorite is American Fiction) and I can't believe Netflix of all things published it!
fantastic essay breaking down a fantastic movie. this was also one of my favorites of 2023!
Great break down
Much appreciated!
I'm glad this has come up on my recommended, I didn't even know this movie existed! Although it might not help stats, I will wait to watch the rest of this video until I've watched They Cloned Tyrone
Thank you for making this video
Again i'd forgotten this movie came out, and i'd watched your last video l, i think the year end wrap up, and you'd recommended it. I watched right after and it definitely didnt disappoint.
I remember! Glad you watched so I didn’t spoil it lol. Thank you for watching!
The film looks fantastic, loved the texture/tone and color choices.
This was excellent oh my god. Thank you for making this video. Subscribing for more :)
Pretty good analysis !!!❤
Its hood drama , comedy , & sci-fi. Its basically boyz in the hood meets stranger things
"Drug Dealer, Dream Stealer, Soul Killer." Holy shit. Beautiful
So happy to see someone talking about how great this movie is!
I broke down a bit when he went into his mom room. The feeling of caring for a sick/distant parent as a kid and just how much weight that puts on choices. Just wanting to love for a brother and get somewhere only to return to that empty ass room with those chain down life. Seeing community stand up and look out for eachnoter no matter the drama made me so happy, to imagine how much we can do to fight back against the systems when we can target the right people.
Watched on Netflix a couple weeks back. Absolutely in my list for best films of 2023.
I just saw the movie. It is rated 6.6 on IMDB which is shocking. It’s an easy 8/8.1
The whole vibe of the movie was fantastic. The way people speak, wear and function. Jamie Foxx was killer in the movie. The movie truly is an underrated gem.
Have you watched Boots' show I'm a Virgo? He really expands on all these topics with a much larger canvas to elaborate onto
Yep, great catch. I have an essay planned sometime this year. Thank you for watching!
Such a good video!
Highly underrated!! I shared with everyone I knew tryna get the hype up. My favorite of 2024 for sure.
Wow great breakdown !!! Wow just wow
I loved this movie so much, so upset it got overshadowed by Barbie and Oppenheimer and by being dumped on Netflix with little to no promotion. It's so good.
This was dope. Keep it up. I want to give a less cloned response but I'm sleepy.😴
I don’t know if this is a stretch but the name Fontaine reminds me of bioshock which has very similar themes
Great film, great analysis omg!!!
This movie immediately got into my top ten after I finished it. Then Erykah Badu’s “Tyrone” started playing and it became #1.
I love this movie so much! I watched it like 4 times and kept telling my friends to watch it. It's one of my favorites!!
Well this got me to look it up and watch it. Thank you.
The way they killed Tyrone but Jamie Foxxs character recognized he’s supposed to be dead made no sense. That means others (like the guys who shot him) would of seen that too. How do you explain him back from the dead? If the explanation would be he went to the hospital and recovered why does the clone not remember getting shot?
No kidding - I watched They Cloned Tyrone at least 5 times now. I can not name any other movie released in the past decade that I have rewatched lol. I recommend it to everybody.
This movie sounds really deep, had Barheimer never came out, this film would've been the movie of the year. There needs to be a sequel exploring the suburbs side, called "White boi." The sequel could focus on the divide of attitudes between blacks from the suburbs and blacks from the hood, and how, even though they face the same discrimination, they still see themselves as better before they too have to realize that they are cogs in the machine. I used to be one of those types of kids, I'm trying to do better now but sometimes, those attitudes still remain.
Have you watched Atlanta? There’s a few episodes that touch on that
@@thisfooreallysaid I have seen Atlanta and I think they do a better job than this film with it's theming.
Aaaaaaand… subscribed
20:55 - NO, there is nowhere in the "Good Book" that says "God helps those who help themselves".
this movie and boots rileys tv show that came out this year were insanely underlooked even though they were easily the best shit to come out this year
I ran this movie back immediately. Instantly became one of my favorites
Good stuff
This was my best movie of 2023!
One of my favorites in all time!!
Mannn you are amazing
The character Chester, this may be far fetched but in my opinion he is based off noted Detroit hitman Chester Campbell, he was often referred to as the man that wore black
I missed this, AND the film: another thanks is due! Look forward to your next one, as always. L
Yes! BY FAR the most slept on film of the year!
i couldn't help but notice the similarities to Black Dynamite
