THE line is Ward Bond: "A broke-down drunk and a,game-legged old man? That's ALL you got helping you?" John Wayne: "That's WHAT I've got helping me."
And name the non-Hawks movie where John Wayne is teased, laughed at, and even parodied by other characters right to his face? By Walter Brennan? And Dean Martin? And this exchange in El Dorado: Christopher George. "You shot me in the back! You didn't give me a chance." John Wayne: "You're too good to give a,chance to."
Rio Bravo's relationship to High Noon is less about masculinity than it is about DOING YOUR JOB. Either you do what you signed up for or you quit. In The Thing From Another World the airmen do the actual fighting. It isn't their research station but they are military men and they are WW2 vets who actually did sign up to fight to protect America, or the world in this case. The scientists help but they don't fight. Why? They didn't sign on to fight. And not one airmen mentions this or acts resentful. It is a fact not even worth mentioning. Rio Bravo is about people doing what they agreed to do. IF they can help without getting in the way, great. Feathers. Carlos. And Carlos a stereotype? "You are the sheriff but this is my,hotel and i will do what i want in my hotel." That is a stereotype? And Stumpy is the MVP here. Would anyone care about this movie as much as they do if it were not for Stumpy constantly challenging everything Wayne says?
Wait...Rio Bravo is a Western? Thats right....everyone IS wearing a cowboy hat except for Feathers.
This might be Hawks's greatest movie about America if His Girl Friday hadnt got there first. And i dont care who wrote The Front Page; Hawks owns and operates His Girl Friday. But if the 5 greatest movies ABOUT America are Citizen Kane, On The Waterfront, Deliverance, Bonnie & Clyde, and His Girl Friday, then Rio Bravo and Red River HAVE to be in the next 5 of the top 10. Bringing Up Baby is America's A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Thing From Another World is the invention of American Suspense: small group of likeable people are in danger and how do we save them and still have a low body count. This kept going in Rio Bravo and Alien and lots of John Carpenter. Why a LOW body count? Why kill,otf likeable people? And even the Burdettes are not irredeemable.
But what about other animals like cata

They made two other movies. Exactly the same movie.
if you lost your father while you were a kid like me and watch this movie....it fires up something in heart
Why u shouldn't watch In the Mood for Love, seriously boring movie i ever seen with pacing to be torture to my eyes with this song that u hear in the beginning of this video played so many bloody times,and ending was just plain dumb, the only things going is the visuals, custom design, cameras work and cinematography and the acting of the female lead actress rather than that it doesn't live up what it could of been if the director didnt strive for Perfection which hurt the movie rather than help it rating in the mood for love 6 out of 10 in the good bones category
I swear some time within the last year or two a company that re-publishes upscale's of older movies was talking about this movie ? And I remembered, but I can't find any info? I swear it was maybe Arrow video ? But obviously I can't confirm 😢 I bought this movie on dvd in the 2000's, but the upscale I think I saw won me over, would buy again.
This reminds me of vanity/predatory journals in the research and science world.
I actually enjoyed the 2002 movie a lot.
That opening shot lit 🔥🔥🔥

I kept thinking...they can't possibly think this was good. In the pre screening did no one say, wait this is really bad....like really, really, REEALLY bad.
It's funny how times can change. With the backrooms and analog horror changing everything, found footage to most people has become overrated. I hate how people consider 3d animations found footage. It's the only thing that shows up when I search for it. The genre has become oversaturated with so much garbage that when someone finally does it right, they are praised for it. Even though in reality if it was released 10 years ago, it would be seen as cheap and boring. Our standards of found footage have gotten so low that a B-list found footage from 2005 would be considered the best found footage in 2024. All in all, good job.
I love this movie, and after watching it, I can’t stop researching beyond to find more meaning. Every movie has 3 acts: the setup, the confrontation, the resolution. In this film, they come in the form of 3 separate stories that are all linked. And within each story, lies their own 3 acts. Masterfully written
1976 Carrie is best. The 2002 was good, but the worst was the 2013 version. Chloe Moretz was/is too pretty and put together.
Thanks so much. Im an A Level student using this series to research my EPQ, which is going to be a video essay
could you share one of you're scripts?
😎🙏💯
1976 Carrie is the best of all time
Brilliant!👌

I’m literally Ryan Gosling And Luke Glanton
You're too young to understand the impact of 1969 and the amazing Mets
I'm glad we all agree here that you do not understand the impact of this movie you suck LOL
This movie is amazing I feel you are not understanding the greatness of this
I enjoyed Click. It is not a good movie and I'm not trying to pretend its good. It has a LOT of problems with cringe, offensive, nonsensical jokes and an unlikable protagonist, with a poorly thought out story and an inconsistent tone. The ending is really the only redeeming factor; everything else is pretty bad.
The Original 'Carrie' Film is rather excellent indeed. I hath viewed all three 'Carrie' Films. I am rather pleased for it.
This is part of the reason I really dug Black Panther because it had a more realized location that other MCU entries. Great video, super informative on each iteration
Welcome back, Will. 🙋♂️ We’ve missed your videos.
What you failed to mention is the sequel Dalmantions 102 the turn based JPRG won game of the year for being a gritty departure and an adult game for adults. Kojima’s best work imo
Yeah it’s definitely DC’s most gruesome Batman
Thank you AI for this insightful argument
the dalmatians hate video games!
the SEO on this one goes crazy
Roger Dearly bad game designer!
I just watched this movie, because i found it on a top 10 watchojo list. And it blew me away. I love this mocie with all of my heart, especially the mid part of the OST "Would you like to join me" Trevor Jones did a fantastic job creating this.
9:30 Freeze frame was introduced by Hitchcock in "Champagne" 1928 and was used notably in Capra's 1946 classic "It's A Wonderful Life" during the introduction of Jimmy Stewart's character. It became one of the signature techniques of Martin Scorsese. The centrifuge scene had been done many times before Truffuant, most memorably in King Vidor's "The Crowd" (1928) but Truffuant keeps calling our attention to filmmaking in '400 Blows' -- the puppet show, the movie theater scenes and the centrifuge in this context mimics the action of a film camera, a spinning machine that transforms our reality and literally pins Antoine to the wall like a movie screen where he is observed by those not on the ride. Still searching for a good, well-informed analysis of this film.
it is really cool!!! my camera only can be fixed in 25 fps and 1/30 can't be lower. this tutorial helped me so much !!! thank you
While I would never do this, if someone screen recorded footage and kept it under 5-6 seconds per clip will that person still get a copyright claim? Thanks for your help!
Saw in the theater when it was first released. This is one of very few films that "touched" something deep inside me. It still does. This is one of the most moving films I've ever seen
2002 version is the best imo
Keep producing more video essays bro! They are great!
Wild Mountain Thyme is the funniest bad movie I've ever seen. Coming from the guy who wrote Moonstruck the tone kind of makes sense, but that doesn't make it any less baffling.
Your analysis is very well constructed. I think the idea of the movie is actually very similar with Aftersun (2022) where they employ the exact same style of a seemingly non-linear structure through snippets that are meant to represent the main protagonist reliving their memories.
I actually liked this movie but I think I just liked the story it had a potential for rather than the actual story the movie told. As you said, a lot of it comes from the strength of the main cast's performances. It feels pretty lost in its goal, in that the movie wants to be a fantastical horror movie but also a sentimental dark romance. Personally, I just wanted to see a good romance (which I understand that you don't care much for), and even though I think the pairing worked, the movie really failed to really deliver on that front since the movie was so preoccupied with putting in horror scenes that the romance itself feels rushed. Side Note: I'm surprised you hate the Suspiria remake so much. I agree its inferior to the original but it emphasised the dance aspect a lot more which I enjoyed.
