I like the movie. Don't know if I'd call it masterpiece as I felt the ending/final shootout was kinda a bit too much action movie compared to the rest of the film, I think if Mud just kinda left in the middle of the night with maybe some kinda chase scene, that would've been enough than pretty much 4-5 or how many murders happened. It didn't hurt the movie I'd say, but that's when the up to that point very solid, earnest, plain and upfront storytelling about coming of age, one doomed love, one odd rascal living in the backwoods (Mud) went Hollywood and it didn't need to. Otherwise great movie, felt true, authentic and McConaughey's best performance for sure as he is both him, but Mud is also kind of a crooked, dirty vagrant, which is not his usual style and he played it well.

I really love the sincerity of Tom Cruise movies, they actually take themselves seriously and don't undermine themselves by cracking inappropriate jokes during serious scenes. We desperately need more of that. I love both straightforward sincerity like in Top Gun Maverick and I also love when a movie or TV show does what seems like a setup for a joke but then the payoff is either tragic like pretty much everything in Better Call Saul or sincerely wholesome like in Top Gun Maverick when Tom Cruise drops down off the balcony but lands in front of his new girlfriend's daughter and you think that hilarity will ensue but instead she genuinely and sincerely pleads with him not to break her mother's heart this time and the scene ends on that poignant note, or in Moral Orel when they do a setup for the reverend to make an inappropriate joke like he normally does throughout the rest of the show but instead he responds to his daughter's retort that it's because she is a lesbian by sincerely stating, no, she can do better because her object of desire didn't truly love her and was just using her, like some kind of reverse-bathos. I am glad we're getting more sincere movies again like The Whale, Top Gun Maverick, Avengers Infinity War, Oppenheimer, Killers of the Flower Moon, Spaceman, Blade Runner 2049, and Dune 1 and 2. It had gotten to the point whereby whenever I watched a movie that had no jokes in it, it caught me off-guard, like when I watched The Godfather part 2. There were definitely really great movies from the past that were incredibly silly, satirical, and fun like Terminator 1 and 2, Starship Troopers, Total Recall, and Robocop and obviously the comedies like Trading Places and the Beverly Hills Cop movies, but nowadays most movies do not take themselves seriously, even dark indie movies tend to have cynical affable cool characters who don't care or trashy self-centred jerks which is fine but leaves me wanting more movies that actually take themselves seriously for a change. You have no idea how much I breathed a sigh of relief when I watched the new Denis Villieneuve Dune movies and at no point did one character turn and say to another character, "wow, these helicopters are kinda like mosquitoes aren't they, huh? How crazy. Hey what does this button do?" Whilst practically turning and winking at the audience, despite Dune being such a unique sci-fi setting it didn't feel the need to debase itself by acting silly, all of the characters took the situation completely 100% seriously 100% of the time which was incredibly refreshing to see because if the characters don't care, why should we?
It is excruciatingly and infuriatingly terrific (in both senses of the word) what we humans can acclimate to, or be acclimated to, with any three, in part, combination or in whole, of these factors at work -- a sufficient amount of time, a certain level or a resoundin' abundance of necessity, or a horrifyingly extreme amount of apathy. The hefty majority of us humans -- after some varying degrees of time -- either, are, or, eventually could be, capable of if not 'ok' livin' or existin' in direct or near proximity of nearly any place or thing which can/could only be described as unpleasant or offensive or unpleasantly offensive or offensively unpleasant, such AS: under or beside a subway/train line or depot; right next door to hustling bustling airport runways, or busiest of stretches of multilaned highway; anywhere near enormous, on-going and debilitatingly deafenin' sites of either, construction, destruction, or, both; within a close noseshot of an up-and-runnin' paper mill, a sewage treatment facility, a factory farm, or processing plant for livestock and/or for making dog food, etc.; places like crematoriums, landfills/county dumps, fisheries, or wharves/ports, etc. Most of us can after some amount of conditioning, still 'live' alongside and in time, possibly even thrive by the most egregious or eerily subtle houses or factories of death, being of human, or animal. It depends on what type of person you are mostly as to determining which of the two you'd find the more/most offensive to either/or your senses or morals/beliefs! One commentary, in regard to everything previously mentioned could be "how crazy"/"that's crazy"! And, well...YEAH! LmMFaO! ;) :P :o)
This style of filmmaking cannot be replicated by younger generations.
you're terrible at captions
i legitimately think about this video like every day like this changed something in my brain. i love sound AHHH i need to get better at sound design
Avon was barely punished . his main thing was just his relocation. he would have been able to have women in , it happens . him being so high up and all he had would have zero problems unless the warden or some outside people did a tour he would play normal. yeah his punishment was forced relocation mostly
the most interesting and fun character the show had with out doubt. still hurting after hearing the actor passed and especially in the way.
Just re-watched the show and again came to the conclusion that it is great. still . one of the best and most important to watch
oops, i came here from an arg T-T guess the lead was wrong XD, still, great video!
When it comes to making anti-war movies or movies with the theme of learning from the past and not repeating mistakes, Germany is the absolute master, by far no 1. Hollywood doesn't even make the top 10.
This movie is a masterpiece. I appreciate that it expects you to know enough of the story to fill in the blanks and when you do…its absolutely horrifying
I think it crazy that I’ve not seen someone mention Paul Mescal in ‘Aftersun’. Yes there’s some superb bold character performance at times, but the subtlety of his character and facial expressions is truly one of the best depictions of mental illness I’ve ever seen.
sound design is on another level in this movie.. putting emphasis on the sounds by starting the movie with music on a black screen was a brilliant choice.. you could hear the people in the cinema go quiet and start to listen when the blackscreen just remained for a while
In a much better timeline the Soviet Union would simply be a bad memory and a functioning power plant dedicated to the Führer would be running with German efficiency
When I first saw the worm riding scene in the preview shown after the Part 1 theatrical rerun, it was great but not phenomenal. But seeing it again in the context of the film and with the full buildup it was just mind blowing. Shows how well Denis makes story progression and blockbuster set pieces fit together.
Villeneuve's comment about hating dialogue in cinema---preferring, as he says, "pure image and sound"---bears a striking similarity to something David Lynch once said about his approach to cinema: "unless you're a poet, words will fail you." I think it's fascinating to see Villeneuve place such an intense focus on the truly cinematic aspects of a story like Dune (or, for that matter, the way he approached image and sound in his earlier films). It's such a unique approach, and it's a breath of fresh air to see it in movies. ETA: I'm still gonna be an insufferable nerd about continuity errors and complain about Paul suddenly wearing goggles, though.
I love how we’re just not supposed to acknowledge how hot Thomas is for no reason
His mother was likely terrified by him because he had already killed his grandparents. So there’s that. I’m not suggesting she was the best mom to him but he also was “sexually assaulting his sister “ in many articles I’d read about Ed Kemper. He’s not a sympathetic victim as he liked to portray himself as.
both parts were just spectacularly written and executed pieces of cinema. I've been so obsessed, and my friends and co workers don't get it lmao.
Fantastic analysis here!
Thank you for a great expose' ...."Little Big Man" - Dustin Hoffman
7:16 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Great video! Amazing movie
I believe that the characters are real, towards the end (when he becomes the messiah) he feels like an actor 🤯. Paul was putting on a performance
This movie was garbage, even the miniseries from twenty years ago have more world building that the two movies of Villanue combine, have no world building, no context, barely any substance, and barely any factions, and the factions that they have behaved like idiots, like they lost the plot. Where are all the factions? They rushed to the ending, it was Alia who killed the Baron, not Leto, this movie works in idiots logic, because every character behave like idiots, even in adaptations from twenty years ago, the Fremen didnt need a freaking metal tube to breathe under the sand and surprise the Harkonnen, that why they had their stilt suits.
thank you man ❤❤❤❤
While I am madly in love with the two movies, I am wondering about the ending. It feels really weird and not too much thought through. Eg. the weird choice of having Paul appear in an almost comical manner in the throne room without showing much fighting beyond the worm attack, rather than finisihing Rabban's plot first, instead of creating a weird ending-after-ending interruption for it. Or the almost soapish choice of having the other houses communicating entirely off screen, with Gurney Halleck telling everything instead of showing anything, which for me took more away from the dimension than mentioning the houses added.
I know it's just a movie but... How they never mention how someone would dismount, especially when they show multiple people riding one, is stupid. Hopefully the book does a much better job, because the whole idea of riding the worms is idiotic
13:31 I totally disagree with Denis saying dialogue is not memorable in movies. my all time favourite movies all have the best and most memorable dialogue and if the dialogue is no good than the movie will not resonate with me and i will not rewatch it over and over again as I do with the best movies out there that combine great dialogue with a great story! unfortunately Dune part two did not have good dialogue and i prefer Dune part one which had better dialogue even though the story was lacking a real climax like Dune 2. Dune 2 is a descent movie but definitely does not make it into my top 30 or even 50 all time best movies even though the story resonates so much with me as a Muslim who literally believes in the coming Mahdi. i prefer his Blade Runner 2049 movie which had better dialogue. the zionist executive producers ruined Dune because of all the western biases against islam and Muslims and basically got Denis to limit the scope of the dialogue and ultimately that ruined his creativeness in producing good dialogue for Dune which was realistic and based on the Dune novel and its influences. it could have been great but unfortunately it fell short will simply just be another descent movie with great cinematography and a good score.
Great video, the editing here is extremely intriguing and unique
There’s such fantastic detail on every thing The Bear touches. Mental health, familial and financial trauma, extremely stressful work environments (specifically the unique kind of jackhammer-to-the-head stress that comes with working in a restaurant), interpersonal relationships. There are points where watching interactions feel identical to my own personal experiences and I’d have to wager not only are there others in the audience who feel the same thing, but almost certainly everyone who contributed to the show from writers to actors to stage crew. Maybe it’s not as high and complex as some other really fantastic pieces of writing/television, but hot damn it’s like going from high-class dining with something like Shogun to the most nostalgia-tripping comfort food made by your mother. Peak art
I've eqyched this series twice in the past week including related podcasts. Such a great series.
You just perfectly described the relation between cinema and electronic music!! A controlled linear atmosphere that builds and releases tension in ways that complements and emphasizes each of it’s elements
20,000 years in the future*
All his movies are about s**x He literally director of p**n cinematography ! He is sick in had .
