thank you very much. I will talk to KZread about raising my pay... from $0 to $0

Little Miss Sunshine got me through some hard times and was a very pivotal piece of art in my life. Recently, I lost my religion after leaving a cult, and absurdism is the only philosophy that was able to keep me here and help me make it through losing everything and having to face nihilism for the first time. Seeing those two things combined in this video essay was so lovely, interesting, and eye opening. Little Miss Sunshine really was my first introduction to absurdism, I just didn’t have the words or concepts to understand it :) This is a great essay, thank you!

I think you could argue that the grandpa was battling to stay relevant. Only Olive thought he was still valuable as a guiding figure and when given the chance to be that figure, the grandpa was able to shine. He was positive and encouraging(not superficially like his son), sober, and invested with whomever he was speaking. However, his brand of these qualities miss the mark in a variety of ways and can come across as out of touch with the family and society. Though despite the grandpa dying, leaving a fair amount of film time left, his absence isn't all that obvious, rather his influence is still felt between the family. Zooming out a little, it's interesting because the grandpa will often give advice similar to what the uncle, would later give when on the pier. In reference to Proust having suffered... concludes with "do what you love and fuck the rest". How the father desperately clings to what success looks like, often steamrolling his family to make a point, only to realize that his family is his greatest success. So on and so on.

Wonderful video essay! Little Miss Sunshine is a beautiful story and you really elevated the themes with this breakdown. I’m looking forward to more videos from you!

Wow just finished the video and you have such a special talent at putting together the true meaning of this movie. I honestly teared up while you were talking about suffering because i related to it so much and the way it was shown in the movie. Pls keep making videos! ❤️

No way this channel only has ~300 subs. This is some really great content both in thought and visually. Made it through half the video, really marveling at how it’s put together, before realizing i’m one of the lucky early watchers! Thank you for sharing.

I related so much with this movie, it was nice to see this breakdown so many years later. Keep doing what you're doing, more people appreciate it than you know.

Yes I so much agree! I’m almost 46 so I’m seeing everything in a new light also thanks to EMDR. I watched this movie so many times back then. This guy’s analysis really helped me understand why and gave me some clarity I’m currently in great need of. Young adults these days are the sh!t. They teach me so much! They’re so dang smart

i almost cried watching this video, is so beautiful. thank you for this awesome video essay

The quality of your videos is consistently incredible. Please keep this good work up!!

I really liked this video…. 😊

I'm impressed! Truly. Little Miss Sunshine is one of my favourite movies of all time, and by watching your insightful video you made me treat the movie from so many angles. I've never been able to analyse as you just did. I thank you so much for what you did, and I can't wait to see more of your analysis.

This is a great video, I hope I get to see more interesting video essays from you. Your channel is seriously underrated!

Great movie choice and analysis of the characters. There was a lot going on with the characters in that one for sure! Thank you. Look forward to another video.

So glad KZread recommended your video! Keep goin man. This is really good work. I definitely needed to hear your take on this movie today. I’m going into a 30 day treatment center for intensive trauma and grief treatment this Friday. Again, I needed this and thanks 😊

Absolutely loved this. One of my favorite movies, and what a great analysis!

this movie has always been so special to me and i feel like you really did it justice with this video and reminded me its been too long since i watched it ☺️ amazingly done 🩷

Thanks for this amazing work! I love this movie so much plz do some more movies in the same genre. Appreciated

Great video. Very informative-I also resonated with the Dwayne/Frank scene near the end, it’s always the moment I go back to when I feel down.

fucking brilliant. i knew i enjoyed this movie but wasn’t much into philosophy when i watched it. i since have developed an interest and done light studying on it all, and stoicism, nietzche, frankl, and camus have risen to the top. your video made me want to rewatch the movie now! truly a work of art.

I love this movie. It takes a village to raise a child, and it takes worthy successors to elevate a village ❤

Suffering may have made me who I am today, but I would have absolutely preferred to skip most of it. I think many people who glorify suffering are just trying to reclaim terrible moments as something that didn't happen for "no reason," that maybe it was a good thing, actually. I think that it's just a coping mechanism, but it's one that I do understand. The people who make me mad are the ones that glorify suffering from the outside, from a place of privilege. If they get to be themselves without having to go through it, how can they sit there and say that all the trials that I went through (and am still going through) are a good thing? It feels like a rich person indulging in poverty p0rn or a person going on a self-indulgent "humanitarian" trip to feel inspired in their own lives. Oh, did seeing all those starving kids "enlighten" you? Eff all the way off

this guy gets it

You showed the acceptance of the absurd is pretty good in this video, probs man, but for me the revolt, with passion and love against the absurd is missing, which really puts a bow on camus philosophy. It's the facing of the absurd and the embracing and the rebelling that makes it so wonderful for me

Instant sub.

Love the video!! I will watch this movie again with my gf if possible (since she likes another genre of movies like those asians as Wong Kar-Wai etc) and if I can move her to watch it, I will share this video with her to be sure of complementing the whole meaning of it! Also, since you're starting this channel, I really don't seem to appreciate a lot those kind of movies and I wish I could understand better. Maybe someday you could do a video of Chungking Express? It would mean the world for me and I know many people would be happy to be introduced to this piece of art through one of your decent videos! I'm asking because I trust what you said in the beggining of the video. Your channel has a great potential of growing and being one of the greatest about those thematics! Writting with gratitude, your new subscriber, John.

Tip: back up from your microphone by like 4-6 inches, or you’ll get all these pops and plosives

@crazygreek6341

Tbh the distance is good, but the technique is off. For dynamic mics, the best practice especially in rooms without heavy post processing like in live situations, is to speak a bit of axis, so the tip of the mic should point, at 4 inches away, to the corner of your mouth and never speak to a dynamic capsule from the vertical side, because the build in plosive filter is on the top infront of the capsule. Podcastage has a great video to mic technique

The music is a little distracting from the wonderful insight you provide in your essay :( Love your ideas though great vid!

good

Amazing analysis! The only feedback I would give is that the background music is sometimes too loud and distracts a bit from what is being said by you. Otherwise, top-notch content. Looking forward towards more reviews/analyses.

👍👍 ❤️

Did not make the first 100 :P Anyway. This is a gripping video essay, but consider leaving out or minimizing the background music. You have a soft voice, and the music, while not annoying, sometimes equals your voice in strength, making it hard for people like me to hear you. Don't fear the silence. Anyway, without his stone, what would Sisyphus do and be? And what will become of his stone? Not to mention the faith of that mountain?

big time. Taoism too.

Um no!. Or you could realize how pointless it is and do something else or try another way. The definition of insanity is do the same thing over and over and expecting different results! CHANGE!

7:10 = do not ask if everyone can accept suffering as our lot? Ask as Fred would: would you redefine your labels, and accept the good and bad as ordered. Amor Fati. GesamtLiebe. To love our existence, all of it. The English word that is closest is vicissitudes... The good and bad both make up who we are - Gestalt.
