You introduced me to Gaspar Noé, and now I'm hooked "Enter the Void" my favorite. Now whenever I hear of a good movie, I check first to see if you've reviewed it. :)
Your an amazing beautiful smart woman keep doing what makes you happy. I'm thinking of making a movie soon I don't know witch direction to go through ,guess I got to see all the things I have access to....I need help figuring it out though.
You are an excellent reviewer & it's always great to get your insights on non-movie topics too. great Q&A! I wouldn't have had a problem if this video was an hour longer.
I like your definition of *"happiness".* Spot-on. It IS about just being content with all. I've gotten *many* small slices of Joy in my life. *I'm not greedy about happiness.*
I tried to make a 1 video already it's on UA-cam- "Halloween zombie Chingon" its only 4 minutes. Its probably horrible but at least I'm trying thanks hopefully you can watch it. Thanks again
Some movies, like Lawrence of Arabia and 2001, could easily become boring if not seen on the largest possible screen with high quality sound. In such films, cinematography and sound design are just as essential as any other aspect and I don't believe can be given due justice on equipment most people have in their homes. So, when someone who I know appreciates movies tells me they thought LoA was boring, I ask HOW they viewed it.
This is going to sound so cheesy. I don't care though. I am also an artist that has trouble with my moods. Im not always sad and angry or whatever. But you're right about the constant deep thought, and for me, often sleepless nights. Anyway I wanted to say I subbed you awhile back because you are smart, well spoken and are very easy on the eyes. Plus you like David Lynch and that just warms my heart. Thanks for the great content. This was a very good video. Cheers!
Glad to hear you changed your mind on Lawrence of Arabia or I would not take anything you say seriously..David Lean was the real deal..You are truly the most incisive and intelligent reviewer out there even when we disagree..
You should look into modern stoicism as a philosophy for life. Accept things you cannot change and the wisdom to be able to tell the difference between things you can change and things you cannot.
@@lacrimatorium Pretty much all film sites reference it as solely UK. It's a stretch to call it American based on a Polish born American producer, who at the time was totally independent and not tied to Hollywood, producing several other European productions. Lawrence of Arabia was produced via Spiegel's UK based production company Horizon Pictures.
@@deepfocuslens So far, it's amazing. There's a lot of stuff happening in the beginning, and at first, it's difficult to follow, but the structure might one of the most original I've ever seen on a television show.
@@benkylo8015 Mr. Robot is incredible, but I was talking about the narrative structure. Mr. Robot is the most audacious show on tv and is visually stunning. Watchmen on the other hand offers us something we've never seen before on tv in my recollection in terms of story. But hey, these shows are barely comparable anyway. I love them both!
@@bulletfastspeed Lol nah that's just a handle. Funny how much negativity the word loner is hitched to. Huge western fan and I find them boys gettin laid all the time and are portrayed as hero's. No issue with finding women more of an issue with finding something of quality . As I lay in bed with one and watch the Seahawks game with one who can barely hold a conversation .
@@theurbanloner8879 When you're a loner, you find people that entertain you, but that's about it. Talking existentially and philosophically is not entertaining... It's important and "virtuous", but not something a loner would do as they don't care as much about others. If you look for people to quickly entertain, that's the people you'll attract. If you outwardly present yourself as a person who is introspective, you'll attract those people.... I think, this is all kind of speculation, idk boiii
@@bulletfastspeed I think that's a grave misconception. I think it's the "loner" who is introspective and has a deeper connection with those he deems to be of value as oppose to someone who's constantly in thier phones and in a mirror every 5 seconds. It the people who desperately need to subscribe to some social group who are the superficial ones. A true loner can maneuver perfectly fine agmont others but still feels that there's something different about them
I am quite active, I exercise, I do things. You are right, that certainly helps and I encourage people to do the same. But sometimes it's more than that too.
@@deepfocuslens You replied😍😍😍 other useful tips: eating well, getting good sleep, spending time in nature, having a good social life, avoid stress, having a sense of purpose/usefulness and giving yourself time to get better (as in its ok not get immediate results, it might take years)
Very interesting that you say you prefer positive action over talk, when feeling down. Yet your videos are mainly dialogue and you even made videos talking about depression. Could we be considered your therapists?Maybe another window into the ever confusing world that is our minds.

Ed Wood is probably one of THE best films about filmmaking. When his girlfriend screams "You're people are insane!" at the party in the slaughterhouse I cried.
An excellent film about film making is 'Their Finest'. It works especially well if you have seen some British WW2 films like 'A Canterbury Tale', 'Millions Like Us', and 'Went The Day Well?', but it also stands on it's own for those who haven't..
I share your experience with therapy. It's the usual common society "fixer upper" that's not the best medicine for every soul 🤔😌😔 I always admire your thoughts on films. Will you please do a review on the anticipated, Knives Out?🔪🤗
Lingua Ignota's Caligula is awesome. Your music taste is great. Also heard climax was great, going to watch later. Are you into Björk? Happiness isn't accepting how life is. I think it's realizing the changes needed to make life better and then aim for those. You can't fix things out of your control, but you can with what your in control over. To help yourself and others. Not that I do this all the time, going through other shit rn, but i think that's right to do. Artificial happiness can come from entertainment, but I think true happiness is what I said before. Recently been getting into philosophy and reading this stuff has changed my mind on some important things. I used to be pretty pessimistic, thinking the world is fucked and will never get better. I'm not 100% optimistic now, but I'm closer to that than the former.
Depression sucks. It's a combo (nature / nuture). Not to cast blame, but I feel if I was nurtured differently I would have turned out better. I'm not too sure about that for my oldest son who is presenting depression at age 11. Thanks for the video.
I also love vinyls to both be off machines and the act of interacting with it by flipping it and even owning it make me more invested. Ive never done it for superior sound quality
Don’t feel like you have to explain your “blues.” It just happens, with no logic or reason. Also, I don’t think happiness really exists. Not the way people talk about it anyway. To any degree that it does, we aren’t aware of it, because we are too busy doing or experiencing other things to even contemplate the question.
This woman is enchanting. Must be how her eyes and her long, dark, beautiful hair compliment each other so nicely. And she has actual substance. Such a rarity these days.
Love everything you have to say ❤️ also would love if you reviewed Shoplifters, Burning, and Cold War, they’re three of my favorite films from last year and I’d love to hear what you think of them. Also checkout An Elephant Sitting Still if you have the time.
You are a very wise person, and a true artist, and what else could you be with your way of looking at the world, and an inspiration, and you can trust there are people in this world who care about you.
I didn't know you were taking fan questions! 1st question - Where do I submit fan questions? 2nd - Have you ever rewatched a movie from a long time ago you didn't have a high opinion of but upon closer inspection is actually pretty good?
Should check out a British film called This is England. It spawned 3 seminal follow up miniseries (This is England 86/88/90) Hilarious, heartbreaking and gut punching.
Oooohhhh oui! It's very high level! Mad Men, Six Feet Under, Fargo, The Wire, The Sopranos, Battlestar : these are some of my favorite tv shows ever...... along TIE! The miniseries are incredible! I have watched them only once but there are some very very very powerful scenes I can't get out of my head!
Very insightful. Always enjoy listening to what she has to say even if I don’t always agree well mannered and articulate one of my favorite channels on UA-cam .
Thanks for the response Maggie. I actually just saw Lawrence of Arabia for the first time on the big screen a couple of months ago and it was a one-of-a-kind experience. I almost can’t imagine seeing the film any other way. That said I did feel a slight disconnect from Lawrence’s character and O’Toole’s performance, particularly in the second half of the film after the intermission. Everything up until that point I thought was fantastic but I do confess to finding myself getting a little bored and disinterested in the later parts of the film. I read a quote somewhere from Scorsese I think that he said when he was working with Lean to get a new, lengthier cut of the film edited that he got the sense that Lean had never really finished editing the film to begin with and could have done even more work on it after that, which I can definitely see. That second half felt a little sloppy to me personally which brought down the experience just a bit. That said I will absolutely give it another shot somewhere down the line, especially after what you’ve said about your experience and hopefully it will continue to grow on me. Many of my favorite films have come from first viewings where I felt conflicted, plus those were just some of the most stunning images I’ve ever seen captured on film. Lovely video ❤️
Been subscribed for many many years now. You've always struck me as someone who probably listens to Elliott Smith, and I mean that in the best way. Is that accurate?
I use to think that, until working with the "Attacking Anxiety & Depression" home study program. Yes, more intelligent people do tend towards depression. That does not mean they see reality more accurately.
Big fan of yours!! I love your vids! Always filled with incredible insight into your selected films. My earlier question I posed before I watched this. You answered it in the first 2 min. smh. I would like to know what the two tats on your arm are and mean to you? This may have too long an answer but perhaps you can include it in your next FQ vid.
One thing I've seen from this, is that a lot of people really care about you. I have to think that has to give you solace.
You introduced me to Gaspar Noé, and now I'm hooked "Enter the Void" my favorite. Now whenever I hear of a good movie, I check first to see if you've reviewed it. :)
Same! Maggie has the best knowledge of film than any movie reviewing channels I’ve come across on UA-cam. But of course, that’s just me!

Yeah I have a question : How do you feel about the growing feud between Marvel and Cinema.. Among film makers and actors and among fans??
Phong The Hun film good marvel bad. There you go
Marvel stans need to chill. Their popcorn flix are good, but not anywhere near as good as Spiderman 2.

What director she said around 10:50?
Bertrand Bonello
Have you ever read Pauline Kael's film criticism. Wonder what you think of her. She completely changed my way of looking at films when I was 14.

Why are you so beautiful?
Melancholia was a movie that gave me an insight into depression. Beautiful poetic film. And haunting
Hi Maggie - Given your sophisticated view of films and music, I am surprised that you didn't love Lawrence of Arabia on your initial watch.
Sharp objects is brilliant. If you finish it watch the coda credit sequence of the last episode carefully.
You should look into modern stoicism as a philosophy for life. Accept things you cannot change and the wisdom to be able to tell the difference between things you can change and things you cannot.
Have you seen Man Bites Dog?
Lawrence of Arabia isn't American or Hollywood, it's a British movie
you beat me to it :)
@@dcanmore It's actually listed on the AFI Top 100. It was produced by Sam Spiegel by Hollywood. It can be considered both American and British.

You're not going to "think" yourself into happiness. You gotta get out there, do things, exercise, get out of your head and have fun.
