    Thanks for this video matt! Office space is one of my all-time favorites. I actually own a copy on DVD. I've watched it many times . Consider maybe doing the movie Brazil although it's a little weird😂

    How 'bout The Super (1991), a rare Joe Pesci comedy. His dancing with the tenants to "U Can't Touch This" is funny. It's been a couple decades. Edit: Wait....or Ferris Bueller's Day Off or Animal House! Or Office Space (has the best gifs ever made).

    I saw this in theaters with my younger sister when it came out. Was 20 years old at the time. Both my sister and I laughed only two times the entire movie. People at my college were raving about how it was a masterpiece. Maybe I'll give it a rewatch at some point.

    I did not get it till most of the way through; movies have a 'language', a set of rules for how to do things, that we all kinda know. This type of character does this type of thing, a shot of a building before a shot of a room tells us that room is in that building, and so on. This movie spoke a different language and I kept waiting for it to 'make sense'. Once I have up, I could enjoy it for its goofiness. : ) Hope that helps if you give it another shot!

    It’s based on a documentary. Gates of Heaven. The style of photography is influenced by it. By framing straight with even and thirds and with no movement. The pallet is carefully chosen and skilfully washed out but still vibrant which is not easy in natural light. It looks like cellulite. The deliberate framing and unflinching vignettes into simple, everyday american life has one foot in documentary filmmaking. This style is less David Lynch as it is a UK kitchen sink drama. As a Brit I’ well versed in that kind of film. It ‘s a way to critique. Then it became consumed by a desire for box office and sold out with The Full Monty after Trainspotting was a hit. The softer tone of this film is a better trajectory of the British kitchen sink drama. It moves away from simple criticism and weaves it again into reverence. So you don’t belittle and disenfranchise your viewer, who is the every day ‘ordinary’ people by focusing on their failures or that of society but showing a method to have new perspective that is more sensitive to the majority of people. So it’s difficult to replicate because it’s influences are in documentary filmmaking, art in general, music, I think of Mercury Rev. I think about Donnie Darko as well and Secretary. Because they are looking sideways at a country that can never be accurately viewed straight on or in broad statements. The film attempts to encapsulate something about American life and authority as more or less oblivious. Clinging to old ways comes into conflict with change such as migration and influences like hip hop. The brother’s ability to change when Rico fails to truly find direction shows they are quick to adapt and find new ways of thinking to get ahead and succeed because they are ambitious. The film is about believing in yourself, and magic, to achieve true greatness on your own terms. Not posting your cringe rock band online, but learning to body pop, taming a horse, having the best suit, forging an alliance with a powerful Mexican cartel or something, marrying a woman way out your league (the boys are more or less the same character with a split personality, for narrative sake). Erm, getting elected, for what that’s worth. Learning battery farms are gross. Because who wants to be a battery hen?

    I remember everybody talking about this film when it came out, but I hadn't had a chance to see it. My sister-in-law bought the DVD and insisted I watch it. I sat down and watched, and I didn't laugh once during the entire movie. Then about a half hour after it was over, a random joke from the film popped in my head and I laughed for about ten minutes straight. I watched it again the next day and realized just how hilarious it is. Apparently I had a delayed reaction to it, but it's definitely a fantastic movie.
