he's an earthly delight

The Room scene also shows another motif: It outlines why his grandpa is GOOD while his mom's captor wasn't. Because where the captor openly attempts to engage with Jack, the grandpa pretends not to see him. When his face is covered by the railing, it evokes the scene with the captor and the closet. But when grandpa walks into view but isn't looking at Jack, it shows that they are entirely different--almost opposite figures. Grandpa is kind and inviting specifically because he does not directly invite Jack. He just pretends he doesn't see him, talks loudly about good food, and lets Jack come instead of trying to force him out. Which not only separates him from their captor, but is also a really smart way to engage with a child who's only had bad experiences with adult men.

Thanks for your description. I remember not ever feeling any dread at that scene. The relief kicked in after he saw him but had the emotional intelligence not to directly engage with Jack. As opposed to Old Nick who is right up in Jack's grill so to speak. I suppose there remains some uncertainty with the last relief coming when Jack joins him for breakfast, and it all pays off. But I feel the grandparents' home had already been established as a place we could feel safe, coming from the hospital.

The framing is also interesting between the two scenes: The captor is obscured by horizontal lines in the POV shot while the POV shot through the bannisters doesn't obscure any of Grandpa with objects in the foreground. The former is presented as more threatening because we can't completely see him while the latter is presented in a way where there's nothing to hide and therefore feels more at ease.

The whole movie was rewritten when Bad Robot bought the film not just the ending. The movie still has no direct connection to the original Cloverfield movie. They don't take place in the same universe and there isn't really any connection between the aliens and the cloverfield monster which comes from earth (not an alien). There are a number of reasons the ending is the way it is. It's not even really a twist because they tell you pretty early on in the movie that there are aliens, just because the guy is crazy doesn't change that it just causes doubt.

10 Cloverfield Lane deserves so much more praise like this!

It's because you viewed it as a parent from the parents perspective with an expectation on the outcome (action if the child) because of your past experience. However if you view the scene from the child's perspective without your past experiences as a guide but the child's experience... Well then it is as the video explained.

You Were Never Really Here is a masterpiece and Lynne Ramsay is a genius.

Fantastic work, as always. I had a slightly different reading of Joe's reaction. Instead of looking forward to release (in the form of violence) I read his motivation as a desperate attempt to save the girl. But he's not trying to save her from physical abuse - he's trying to save her from becoming violent and emotionally deadened the way he is. He knows that the sort of abuse she's been enduring could lead to that outcome, and the thought of someone else living a life like his motivates him like nothing else has thus far. And thus the reveal of the dead man simultaneously means that the girl is safe from physical abuse - but that she's succumbed to the emotional fate he was dreading. Which is why he stays there and mourns, before going to find her and take her out of the house.

Yeah, although cinematically it's tied to Jack's perspective with Old Nick by that point in the film the grandfather has been established to be the kind foil to Joy's biological father, who can't be a decent parent to save his life. I also felt no sense of threat from the grandfather because he was so clearly developed as NOT a bad person, and if he suddenly had been it would have felt cheap.

Obvi I didn’t know step granddad was established as good in the movie but this is what the scene evoked without background for me

I really appreciate you guys mentioning You Were Never Really Here, ESPECIALLY these scenes. It’s one of my favorite films and it deserves so much more.

Regarding the scene in Room, I was, in no way, thinking the grandfather had bad intentions. I saw him, throughout the whole last half of the movie, as a kind and caring man. I did love your analysis though. I can definitely see the connection between what Jack thought of Old Nick and the grandfather. It makes perfect sense to see Jack scared of him because of his relationship with Old Nick. Also, You Were Never Really Here is a brilliant movie, and upon watching it a second time, I realized it's one of the best movies of 2018. Even the title of the movie is brilliant. It could represent multiple things, but in my opinion, it represents Joe's relationship with his violent past. His past is scarred with so much death and violence, that he just accepts it as apart of him. So, his violent past is "always" there with him, but at the same time is "never really there" since he's so accustomed to it and never notices it (if that makes sense).

Your voice is so much more pleasant than the watchmojo bell ends that i just unsubscribed from. Love it. Keep it up.

WARNING! If you skip around the films that you haven’t seen yet, you may still receive a spoiler! The 10 Cloverfield Lane discussion references The Artist’s discussion, spoiling The Artist. Now, the only film I haven’t seen here is Jarhead, but I don’t want to be spoiled: if someone would like to just say whether or not it gets spoiled later in the video, that’d be lovely.

These videos make me appreciate the intricacies of film making so much more. They open my eyes to the meaning of the complexities behind camera angles to prop placement. These videos are amazing, and they deserve so much more praise for their incredible deep dives into the art of film. Thank you!

I think what separates Cinefix from other movie essay channels is that where others tend to dissect a movie as a whole to study their brilliance, Cinefix pinpoints certain scenes from movies that may be overlooked as a whole because they’re not considered to be traditionally “good”. Cinefix finds brilliance in moments throughout all movies, and can make a viewer use their brains to find these moments themselves, by educating us on what can make what seems like a normal scene, great

I disagree with your reading of that Room scene. I believe the step-grandfather was just super aware of how shy the kid was and giving the kid an opportunity to come out of his shell if he chose to. I didn't take away anything other than the step-grandfather being a cool guy and not being pushy. I thought it was a tender moment and would never in a million years have guessed anybody saw anything sinister there.

@MrCrockaG

I don't necessarily think yours or Cinefix's perspective are really the opposite. I think we can recognize that the step-grandfather is being cool and attempting to not be pushy, but the camera work is definitely done to show how uncomfortable the kid is and that trauma still haunts him.

Buscador Final If it helps you understand what I'm talking about, I'm referring to the part where CineFix says "we couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of dread here - a growing concern that Joy's stepfather, Leo, might not have the best intention." That's what I disagree with, since it's not at all what I took from that scene. At no point did I feel any dread for the kid's safety or concern about Leo's motives. Quite the opposite. I genuinely thought he was going about it the right way, playfully and well-intentioned. What I saw was Leo was putting the kid at ease and giving the kid an opportunity to approach him in his own time and on his own terms. I understand that the framing of the scene, the way it was shot, was in part a call back to how earlier scenes of the kidnapper were shot. I just don't think using that method again was intended to evoke dread or concern, but rather intended to evoke a contrast. The framing of the scene and the parallels in filming approach is not the point I disagree with. If you feel I have misunderstood something, then I'd appreciate some clarification.

Your videos are so good, you love cinema and know how to transpose it and dissect a scene to the viewer without being self-indulgent or convoluted. Thank you for real quality content

Thank you for your accurate and compassionate understanding of Jack's trauma. The line about the lasting effects of trauma, even when removed from the traumatic situation, is so true, and this film portrays it brilliantly. Thank you for your poignant analysis!

It's truly a pleasure watching these videos, informative and enjoyable at the same time and perfectly executed. The analysis and the narration is spot on as always. Congratulations and keep it up, I know I'll be waiting for the next installment.

Seeing clips of Room and especially after you said the word ordinary. Makes me wanna watch it again. I saw the scene the same way, the story is portrayed through Jack's point of view after all. I can't imagine how scared he is when all he had was two polar opposite people in his life. And I like that the film doesn't spend all its time in captivity but shows the blessings of an every day life afterwards. It hopefully makes you appreciate the world through Jack's 5-year-old eyes for a while after watching it. Anyway I could ramble on about that one but great selection!

All of your videos are brilliant and I truely love your gentle voice. Thank you so much!

I love almost all of what Cinefix does, but there's nothing on the internet quite like these brilliant moments videos. Keep up the great work!

That line about respect that Emmett says to Howard is also pretty brilliant in feeding his ego and making him think that Michelle is still on his side.

God, the Artist was so good. I watched it in a film class for my minor. And man, the future of filmmakers is going to be tragic because I was probably the only person who voiced an opinion in loving the movie for how careful and creative it was to represent the films of the 20s. Every other person watching hated that it was silent and black and white. God help us
