I want to point out something about the last part of the movie that I noticed in my most recent watch. Right before Rattlesnake Jake shows up, Rango says something to the effect of: "As long as that sign still hangs there," referring to the sign outside the sheriff's office, "we still have hope." Not a few seconds later, Jake shoots the sign and breaks one of the chains holding it up. The sign still stands even though it has quite a few new holes blown through it, showing that there is still hope for the town and for Rango.

There’s a lot of subtle hints like this throughout the movie. My favorite is when the mayor calls for Rattlesnake Jake and one of his goons says “He never leaves without taking a soul”. The only soul Rattlesnake Jake took before leaving, was the mayor’s (excluding a few bats).

I'm sure lots of people have noticed that - but I recall mentioning that in a video a couple of years ago delving into Rango. It stands as one of my favorite movies - the characters, the setting, the absolute limits they pushed in animation, I adore it. The sign being battered and broken, but still hanging, was one of my favorite pieces of symbolism in the movie for sure, because the moment of that happening is slightly comedic in tone in the very serious and soon to be dark moment, but still shows that they have hope.

I like the parallels between Rango. From how he looks in the climax to us not knowing his actual name and just calling him by a name he made up on the fly, he decided to pretend to be Rango, and in the climax he became rango

"I tip my hat to you, one legend to another." That line still gets me, so many years later.

I agree with you, but I think the most photorealistic character is the red tail hawk, not Jake. Which makes sense since it is the only thing that Jake's afraid of.

"No man can walk out of his own story." ABSOLUTE CINEMA 🙌

A little similarity I noticed between Rango and Jake: after the "Try me" Jake is stunned by how much someone he considered insignificant changed in so short a time, and over the last few minutes of the movie he goes from thinking Rango is insignificant, to someone that got the jump on him with some friends, to a fellow legend in his own right. They both quickly respond to the big changes in the world around them caused by each other.

That “Try me” is so cold man he’s ready to throw down

Such a genius idea to make him a chameleon, works on so many levels. Great vid again bro!

Thank you, brother!

I too can simply agree that while this movie has it's own, unique style, it's also a solid western film with everything important included. But what I love most about it is the joy the actors had when filming.

The banjo coming in out of nowhere for Ride of the Valkyries always sends chills down my spine.

I haven't watched the movie in english yet, but i think that another cool thing this movie has is the different accents. In latam spanish, there is characters with accents from all over hispanoamérica. And it is great because it really sells the diversity of the people found in Dirt.

Also, Rattlesnake Jake with a rioplatense accent fucking slaps

"It's not about YOU... It's about THEM..." It might sound funny, but this is the movie more than any other that drilled that sentiment into me, and it's why i rewatch it every so often.

This masterpiece of film is a lot like an old movie from the 80's that was called "The Three Amigos". It is about three actors, who are played by Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, and Martin Short who get drafted out of Hollywood and disguise themselves as heroes of the west. I recommend watching it as it represents the message Rango tries to tell.

My favorite little detail is 7:51 where in the recording booth, you have the VA's actually acting their lines and it adds such a good touch of emotive force.

"Hey Johnny, you wanna be a cowboy gecko?"

I firmly believe that Rango isn't only a great Western, but one of the best films of all time. Genuinely freaking great and immaculate in every single aspect of itself.

My dad is usually not a big fan of movies, and most of his favorite movies are westerns because they remind him of home. Rango is his favorite movie

I'm never really one that appreciates the more "grueling" aspects in movies: the purposeful dirtiness of the characters, the town being dusty, and over-realistic aspects of what's supposed to be just another animated movie. Nevertheless, all of those artistic choices end up assisting the story to the point that even if you only watch the movie once, you will never forget it. Whether it's remembering that Rango chose his name from a cactus bottle, or the famous line, "Try me," everyone who took part in creating this film left an impact on it as a whole. When I first watched the movie, I had no idea that it was a highly acclaimed film, and so because of the art, I sort of took it as a low budget animated film, then watching it a few more times revealed that everything in the movie was made purposefully, and that made it so much more enjoyable. Thanks for this video! It held information as well as a reminder of what to look for in a genuine good movie!

It's so important to emphasize that "gritty realism" can be the right choice - when the choice is deliberate and informed! But frequent uncritical defaultness can make it simply seem like a bad choice broadly.

They mostly never gave audiences a chance to breath, I love marvel movies, I don't hate them cause they are bad, I hate them because I'm exhausted by them and the people who make them are being worked sick because the executives care about money, not art and workers and watchers

I love the quirky sense of humor in this movie. This is a great quick dive into it! I hope more people watch it, it's very fun and unique.

I remember my first time watching this movie. The scene when roadkill says "beautiful isn't it?" And they both look at the desert. That is the greatest scene I've ever witnessed, it burned a passion and love for storytelling in me

I never knew that's how the movie was made, that is genuinely awesome. Everything I learn about Rango just makes me like it even more...

Funny that westerns are still alive and well and not only in film. We’ve still got dark country music, the western video games like red dead redemption, and new movies and tv series like the hateful 8 and Yellowstone.

"Go to hell ...(suffocating)" "WHERE DO YOU THINK I COME FROM?" That line still gives me chills...

thank you for reviewing my film but in all seriousness, this film is legendary, the animation holds up even today and the attention to detail was greatly well done, I wish films like rango were talked about more

When i saw the dramatisation of clint eastwood i think i audibly gasped not only at the absurdity but also how perfect it is

More than a peak western, it's going too go down as one of the greatest modern/next generation westerns ever made.

I've been advocating for this movie since release, like it's a cure for death. I love this movie so much and it's beautifully animated

Despite the Oscar, I think this show doesn’t get enough credit. It’s an excellent watch and rewatch, which I’ve done several times. The animation is incredible and the story kinetic, but what makes this is the characters. I think you captured that well.

Such an important impressive video! From start to finish you covered it all from the genre of westerns of the early era to the animated more modern animated version- Rango. You gave all the reasons that it was more than a western cartoon from the director& actors to the music & also the story of the character as compared to the old time western characters & what made them heroes.

this and Josh Keefe's video on Rango are possibly my two favourite video essays on cinema

Fully agree with the title. I have been watching Rango since I was in my preteens, and I will NEVER get tired of it. It's brilliant, timelessly funny, excellently written, and really good-looking! (animation wise) Also, somehow, I have NEVER SEEN these _hilarious_ behind the scenes clips you pulled! It doesn't surprise me at all that the actors actually _acted_ the scenes, but it's SO FUNNY to watch!! XD Gore is the absolute BEST at "swashbucklers".

that OG Red Dead music was a perfect outro homie

I love that you closed this on the instrumental version of Lo Chiamvano King used in Red Dead Revolver for the Xbox.

My favourite thing about rango is how they just straight up have real guns in a kids movie. Like, Rango packs a Colt Peacemaker, and it aint some cartoony one, its a real Peacemaker.

Rango is an amazing movie that has such a special place in my heart thanks to all the memories I had of watching it with my brother. I think the movie is highly underrated and deserves so much praise. Johnny Depp killed the role of being an eccentric little lizard with a head bigger than his own body at the start of the movie but he also portrayed the famous saying "fake it till you make it" and ends up becoming quite the REAL Sherrif! I didn't really know the full origin of Westerns or Spagetti Westerns until now and it's quite interesting. I like how informative you can be in such a short amount of time. Not only that but WOW I had no idea the actors filmed their scenes in real life in order to give that footage and imagry to the animators; that's absolutely fascinating! What a treat to have seen you add the scenes of the actors doing their roles before it was animated to your video - thank you. The visualization and cinematography of Rango are truly stunning and that's what always draws me back to the movie time and time again besides the comedic acting and subtle dark elements.

Man I need to re-watch this film is been a while, and just watching the clips and hearing your essay on how awesome this film is, makes me wanted to watch it again.

My recommendations are perfect... high-quality small channel content... it's just so beautiful 🥺

God, I really need to use Rango for an art study! The colors and shapes are marvelous! I loved this movie as a kid, even if I was scared half the time. It's truly a timeless piece. I need to watch it again ❤

can i just say that outro was peak.

This movie only gets better as you find out about the fan theory of this entire film being a hallucination of Raoul Duke from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. There is in fact a scene where he comes to after trippin and is wearing a green lizard tail👀. On top of that, both star Johnny as the lead and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is directly referenced in Rango when he is getting flung out of his cage on the highway.

Your channel is so underrated, you put so much time and effort into every video you make, please keep making more like this

“Emotion capture” what a cool idea

Not only the analysis of this video is genious ,even the ending is perfect. Straight foward, only a legendary scene with a mythical soundtrack, and cut. *Tips hat*

I love the fact of The Spirit of The West, based off of The Man With No Name/Clint Eastwood, is played by a modern cowboy actor, Timothy Olyphant from Justified.

don't let this amazing piece of a video essay distract you from the fact that a crazy old man riding a golf cart had an honest heart-to-heart conversation with a chameleon wearing cowboy clothes

This movie was a banger! It is also one of my fave westerns out there. This is my second favorite Oscar winning animated film behind Happy Feet! I'm so glad about your thoughts on this movie, Rango is an outstanding western film! Edit: Oh yeah, and there was also an extended scene that was cut from the movie, but in my opinion, they should habe kept it. So basically after the water got into the town. Dirt changed into a full water resort. Meanwhile, Rango hears that Bad Bill is on the move again and should protect the west. So he rode out into the so called "sunset shot" and gave his epic speech on a roadrunner. What an epic finale ❤❤❤

It says a whole lot about how stellar this film is that the fear in Jake's eyes when Rango says "Try Me" feels genuine. They managed to make a Snake - a cold blooded Predator that could swallow a chameleon whole - look genuinely afraid for his life. And this is a character who looked like an actual Demon in his first appearance.

I'd really be interested a longer analysis of Rattlesnake Jake's character, you pointed out some things I didn't realize even after watching the movie a dozen times (such as Jake being the only photo-realistic animal in the movie instead of a creative interpretation like the rest), You seem to have a really solid grasp of the western genre and I'd be interested in your knowledge of Western antagonists and what makes them stand out, because like you said, Jake's six minutes were by far the most memorable six minutes in the movie. anyway here's a like and comment for the algo. good luck getting the subs you deserve.

Morality is realistic. It’s gritty grimdark that makes no sense.

I will watch every video essay on this masterpiece for as long as they’re being made u til the day I die. Well done, sir!

TO BE HONEST. this is a very VERY good analysis. made me think in a way I hadn't. gave that food for thought that'll leave me chompin for more. you sir earned a subscribe

What a great commentary to keep a short video length. I've never seen a short one with such high quality.

This is a great example of condensing down what could have been an hour long diatribe about rango into a bite sized piece that catches the core of a movies identity. I tip my hat to you

I love how Jake full on read Rango like a book in their first encounter. He KNEW Rango wouldn't have the gut to pull the trigger. Once Rango returned, Jake was ecstatic to see such a little guy to show so much gut to stand up to him, but still think it's just a bluff. Once Rango had him at gun point, Jake is no longer certain he knew what Rango would and wouldn't do. There's a certain level of respect Jake had for the smaller people who stood up to something bigger than themselves, first Rango, then Bean, if only to crush that strong will with his own grip. The moment his intimidation fails, he shudders in fear.

Really good video man! Keep up the good stuff!

I love your movie essays.

So that makes two animated movies I love that had the full cast in the same room (first being Surf's Up). What hits me is that I don't think I've seen this movie since I saw it in theaters, and yet so much of it still sticks in my head--the music, the lines, the big scenes...this is honestly a really excellent movie and it's visually iconic as well.

As a gen z, rango, rdr2, and a less known western called Purgatory are some of my all time favorite pieces of fiction.

so happy to see another video from you

this was actually my introduction to western cinema❤

that little nod of respect from rattlesnake jake is my fav bit

I don't comment or like videos on youtube often but this video was incredibly well done. Im going to watch rango again very soon thanks to you haha :)

Rattlesnake Jake is probably one of the most perfect character designs I have ever seen.

Saw this in theaters and was like "Man, that was a good ass movie, I'm genuinely impressed with how they handled that.". Watched it again years later and went "Man, My first impression was right, if anything I am even more impressed by now with what they accomplished with this film making wise.". Like for real, this is a superbly made movie.

When I saw this one in the cinema, I spent he first half of the movie not entirely sure if I was enjoying it. But by the second half I was on fully on board. I need to watch this on again.
