Theme and character analysis, in essay-form, of a variety of interesting films. Unlike most similar channels on KZread, my videos are not synopsises camouflaged as analysis - I expect my viewers to know the plotlines I look at.
I also don't do all-encompassing or definitive theories, but prefer to ask open questions, searching for what the films are suggesting.

My favorite instrument. It is so magical while playing it 🌀🎶
TBF most things in written format are purposely butchered because of limited run time, resources and deadlines. So picking and choosing the main characters has to be done. Meaning, less important characters (who aren't meaningless mind you) will get their on screen time cut. I get the disappointment of the movie not being faithful to the source material but their goal didn't really align with the fans. All they wanted was to portray this ancient greek hero who was a leading figure in the fall of troy. That infamous story of the trojan horse that even I read in childrens picture books back when i was 5?? They just wanted to make a movie for money. Because who wouldn't want to watch Brad Pitt portray an ancient Greek Hero
Fascinating
The wisdom of a snake, damn I love it
Religious kook,
I just watched a video with Herzog, complaining and shitting all over psychoanalysis. The irony here is that in this moment, he is fulfilling exactly that same role he despises.
How did Werner know about the squirrel? Or does he ask everyone about squirrels? The thing is, it isn't God that puts men on death row, it's men who put them there.
He starts talking about it in the question before
Thumbs down... I am so done with the racist finger pointing. Or even talking about it. If you want to talk or think about racism then you guys can. I got better things to listen to than this crap.
bye
Even such an intelectual like WH diesn't know, that God gave humans FREE WILL!! think about the implivations of this, all ye.
I enjoyed your through breakdown. Thanks.
My pleasure !
The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help.
Troy is and always has been complete ass regardless of if youre judging it as an adaptation of the Iliad or as a historical/realistic take on the Trojan War. Where it fails on both counts.
Werner to himself after the tears come out: "That's a bingo!!!! 🙂🙂🙂"
This is fuckin stupid
we will Crack you...
This didn't explain shit homie
Happy to elaborate, broseph
@@CinemaAutopsy how do you deploy the squirrel strat
Well palpatine did recruit him personally
Yeah god sucks
Not all psychopath are self destructive.
How so ?
I feel like he always find a way to say “squirrel” with that accent 😂
Wisdom of the snake is misinterpretation. A snake has no control over its reflexes let alone having wisdom. With all respect to Herzog. I believe Jesus had also said similar things. Not sure why
That wasn't the point he was making
@@CinemaAutopsy Happy to know, but i dont know what then, unless you do a favor and explain
@@ABO-Destiny well it's pretty self explanatory what he says, no? Strike like a snake, in the sense that you have to have the right timing... Lay in wait and strike when your subject is vulnerable to your question?
Because the trials of suffering are intrinsic to human existence on this mortal coil fool.
I mean he DID do 5 films with Kinski😂 ! Herzog dealt with heavy-duty characters
Have some gopher? ;)
Achilles is a wonderful example of an early type hero--one whose actions are rooted in their quest for honor and glory and the hell with anyone or anything else...I suppose to his credit, Homer recognized that such a figure would never truly grow...Achilles loses said honor and glory and comes to realize how little they mean...and...sulks. And sulks. He is aroused to action by the death of his close friend and when informed that following the death of Hektor his own life will end, he cares.... nothing....he has gone from being motivated by larger than life hubris to nihilistic indifference and on that note his miserable life ends...Hektor on the other hand is a hero in transition. He acknowledges to his wife how he hungers to always be in the forefront of the fighting but also accepts that he is the hope of the city and all rests on his weary shoulders...under the face of a personal doom he recognizes. So he has one foot in the past--honor and glory--and one foot in the future, the hero as existing to serve others--and in the end gets himself killed when he slips back into an early hero mold (too embarrassed to face the wives and mothers whose men have died due to his poor judgement). This is the gist of the story.
Nut balls
What talk is this from? I'd like to see the whole thing
I am not sure that Kurtz broke he adapted
there's a point where adaptation is just breaking someone completely from reality where they only live to be that adaptation like how a serial killer could adapt to their situation
nonsense Achilles is motivated by menin but he is also a gentleman of grreat courtesy and manners--book 9 is the key also I'd point out that Agamemnon Anax Andrwn has more in common with achilles than folks care to admit==in the end it is a stupid movie
Why do they never go for the theologian with 5 different degrees in philosophy that also had missionary experience in war zones ? Aaaah I can guess why... I know those people, when you try to crack them you crack your bones and Herzog sadly takes the easy road when there's no shocking value involved, great documentarist but holy shit they can never get the right people for theological questions.
nice insights, Nikolai!
WTF Werner Herzog bout to teach me?
vital life-lessons!
Bet Timothy's friend won't choose a bear over a man 😅
Exactly what I was thinking 😂😂😂😂
@MrXavi67 you made my day 😂❤
Witt's acceptance of his own being, as a soldier who is part of the killing and destruction, is how he resolves his existential crisis and becomes "immortal." His story is a retelling of the Bhagavad Gita.
Timothy Tastewell. God. Haven't heard that for years......
I really hate bears
Bears are awesome
I enjoyed watching this and you do a good job of representing your viewpoint(s) on the subject. But remember that even before the first scene opens in the film, they inform us this is "a film inspired by the Iliad" or words to that effect...it cannot be criticized for not being faithful to its source material when it is already acknowledging it is not a film meant to depict Homer's work. For the rest, I would go a different direction from your own: Achilles and Hektor have nothing in common except that they both represent types of tragedy: Achilles as a figure who has sacrificed everything only to find his honor and glory are practically worthless; he is a hollow, empty man who, after his mother warns him that shortly after the death of Hektor, comes his own death. He simply does not care anymore. Hektor's tragedy is that he knows he is as the Trojans keep saying, 'the hope of the city' but he knows in the end he is simply not capable of saving the city or his people; he heroically fights only to buy them some time.
For a film not intended to be based on it it certainly takes a lot from it. Hence why comparison is both inevitable and valid.
@@Bu11yMagu1re In the sense of having fun, yeah, comparison is okay...but that's about it.
@@user-ff4lr2jj5r How should it be judged then? Pray tell.
@@Bu11yMagu1re How about on the acting...the script...the cinematography ...things like that.
@@user-ff4lr2jj5r Ok lets see Acting:C- sorry I expect more from a cast like that Script:F even divorcing itself from the Iliad cant save the godawful script, then again its Benioff. Cinematography:B good but at the same time pretty overrated. Relative to the cast and budget its a very mediocre film.
This movie is a complete mess. Read the Iliad, you‘ll see for yourself.
'Cave of Forgotten Dreams', by Mr Herzog - one of my all-time favourite documentaries.
same!
Thank you for the referral. I really appreciate it. ❤
Wow
Shrimply pibbles
This was a clip from the movie(into the abyss) * just in case anybody wanted to watch it
Pretty mad that he can talk about people being executed as God's will, but get him to think about a squirrel & he finally gets it.
I tried that line with my emotionally distant father and got a smack up the side of the head
below are some samples of your mastery. " " On it's surface (with a great music) The burial of Yasar is not the only one the film is concerned with. As we get to know these men better, we learn how some of them have burial parts of their past too. The film's mastery is one of managing to entwine and uncover both. The film leaves us with this question. Is it sometimes right to bury the truth to avoid hurting someone? especially so if that something is what the film invites us to consider. The meat of the story is not really in the search for the body. It is somehow woven into the fabric of these vast endless hills.
Nobody ever said Germans don’t make good interrogators.
hah :D
Der war gut! That's a good one! 😂
WHOTOLDYOUTHEYWEREGOOD!!!!!? ANSWER! SCHNELL!!!!
I've heard they have ways of making you talk
"Omg Morty...youve pissed off the squirrels. What have you done"
Herzog is a genius - just ask him.
500 th like.
