I think the great merit of the film is being a believable construct, we really get into the story’s world with its dark depressive ambiance and music. As for the story’s content by itself I think it is very problematic and ambiguous. Travis is an antihero hailed as a hero by the end of the movie. Like the audience he is a voyeur, seeing the world around him and not being noticed. He fails at first to perform in his own life/film: being in close relationship (with friends, Iris or Betsy) or to make a good actions (to convince Iris out of prostitution). So he channels/converts these frustrations into the only rewarding form he knows: violence (remember he is a honourable discharged marine). First he tries to “hurt” Betsy by attempting to shoot Palantine, when that fails he goes for Iris and “succeeds”. Instead of being jailed he is, like after Vietnam, honoured by society, which brings Travis the acceptance he craved for at the great part of the story. Then he turns his rear mirror and looks at us, his audience.

Well, Dude, at least you follow Barthes to the letter - your author intent is alive and well throughout this entire video but me thinks the lad doth protest too much... Is it so important we know your moral stance on this elocuted through such subjective language? How are we to take any of your arguments seriously when you lack sobriety and composure give an objective criticism? (I'm going to be horribly ageist here...I, alas, shall always be older and wiser than thee [at least until I die], so I will chalk it up to your youth)? I don't mean to be harsh, merely rigourous...given time and thought I bet you'll make a darn good critic. To be sure the ethical difficulty of Polanski is complex and an ethical conundrum when viewing his films, but we are now a culture supersaturated in the magical thinking of 'talismanic immanence' ie; that - to use Barthian terms - the 'text' of a work is not not 'merely' imprinted in form and some aspects of the content with the psyche of the artist (as Barthes might argue - so, you see, his work isn't really 'pretty much useless') but that it contains the very animus of evil of that artist: hence cancel culture and the like is not really about no longer feeding capital into the hands or legacy of an artist who has 'betrayed us' (REALLY? Betrayed? Such an infantile reaction...but this is a word some people use) but of eradicating the animus of evil from the circuit of power.

Thank you for this; not many have done a covering on Chinatown, irrespective if you really reviewed it. Polanski is a terrible terrible man, if u can even refer to scum as such, and yet he’s another ‘artist’ who’s talents enable him to such a large platform which is something I hate because like u, Chinatown is one of my favourite pictures ever. I’d advise that any good film you see, you disconnect yourself with the character because every ‘greatest film oat’ entry has at least one creep, and that is with no exaggeration.

I was just trying to understand if you had a blanket "ew" reaction to, say, a 14yo having a relationship with an 18yo, or with a 21yo? What if it were 1966 when the majority age was still 21yo: would you "ew" a relationship between a 14yo and an 18yo out 19yo then? Does context matter? Are you morally outraged by Polanski's criminal attack on the girl, or the fact that she was a minor? I brought up the relationship that I knew of bc I used to think that majority age adults having a sexual relationship with a minor was fully taboo. Then I learned of this relationship between two people I knew very well and for a time I couldn't wrap my head around it. Many men and women who have power seem to consider taboo, even forced relationships with the young or weak to be one the "perks" of their position in life.

Is the teacher a pedophile? Should the teacher have been jailed, or worse, as you implied?

You should read "Death of the Author." He isn't speaking about how 'good' a piece of art is or whether we should celebrate or enjoy any one piece of art. He's talking about things like deriving theme, interpreting metaphors and any other subtextual meaning of the work. In those aspects, he believes understanding them based solely on the authors conscious intention limits the interpretative potential of the work. There are several reasons for this that are outlined (that's basically what the lecture is about.) Again, you should read Death of the Author.

Confidential to get a condensed history of L.A. Mulholland and the Water Wars, the Postwar Boom and rise of strip mall's, and the building of the Santa Monica Freeway. Then Blade Runner for LA's future, lol. L.A. Confidential is amazing. Kevin Spacey another problematic artist..
Part of the tension when Jake meets Cross and the meta quality comes from him asking Jake if he's sleeping with his daughter when Jack was doing that in real life! John Huston helped invent the Detective Film Genre with his adaptation of The Maltese Falcon. Dashiell Hammett wrote the novel. He and Raymond Chandler and James M. Cain pioneered Noir as we know it.
The Los Angeles Noir Expanded Universe (LANU?)
@@freidfood3171 You can watch Chinatown, Who Framed Roger Rabbit and L.A. Confidential to get a condensed history of L.A. from the 30s through the 50s. The Water Wars, The Post War Boom and gutting of public transportation and the sprawl from the building of the Santa Monica Freeway. Roger Rabbit is kind of a parody of Chinatown plotwise.
You should read "Death of the Author." He isn't speaking about how 'good' a piece of art is or whether we should celebrate or enjoy any one piece of art. He's talking about things like deriving theme, interpreting metaphors and any other subtextual meaning of the work. In those aspects, he believes understanding them based solely on the authors conscious intention limits the interpretative potential of the work. There are several reasons for this that are outlined (that's basically what the lecture is about.) Again, you should read Death of the Author.
I do like your video, and you're doing a great job, edit is great. You well.. but I think taking time to make sure you have a handle on the sources you're referencing in your argument would make your stuff even better.
Yeah. I should’ve given it a read, but I thought there was something kinda meta about referencing this work that people always use in that situation, and like so many in that situation, blatantly not read it, lol. Thanks! And yes, I do plan to actually read it next time I’m at my dad’s place.
Back when Faye Dunaway still had a career.
You are going to have to stop consuming the world's best art based on this. Everyone is terrible.. artists most of all. You should never forget Gauguin... Celine.. Polanski... Socrates.... Bacon.. Tterrible people make art which makes you pause... Time to pause.
Well it’s just the case that I really love this one work specifically, if I don’t know about an artist’s issues I guess I don’t mind… but I know too much abt Chinatown
After 2020, I fully believe everyone is indeed terrible and the ones claiming otherwise are the absolute worst.
Instead of Rosemary's baby you can always watch Hereditary. Its basically the same thing (with some differences)
I haven’t seen Rosemary’s baby, but I know it’s generally regarded very well
No
Polanski is scum. Anyone defending him is gross.
The movie is still a masterpiece though
I have trouble separating the art and artist, I'm not judging, I just can't. I grew up idolizing Cosby and could quote his albums, but now I can't listen anymore.
yes. I almost gagged or couldn't talk a few times when recording, I left one in I think. I had to physically stand up and go get a drink of water when I found and then translated that finkielkraut quote, nasty shit.

Thanks thelab8799 (I actually looked it up and saw it, I just thought it was funny I didn’t know when I wrote the script)
@@freidfood3171 🤣😅
It definitely is worth talking about anytime his films are brought up , for me I can watch films or consume media from people I personally hate especially considering in films lots of other people worked on the final product not just the writer and director
Yeah. That’s sorta my point, some people can do that with certain works and creators, I just made this to explain why I cannot in this circumstance.
@@freidfood3171 I’m interested to hear if you think the subject matter and direction of his films relates to his messed up behavior and attitude, specifically Rosemarys Baby with gaslighting a newlywed young woman during her pregnancy and how this may relate to his marriage to Sharon Tate ?
👍🏼
nice video, hope it gets you a lot of views

This is a very debauched comment. I will grant you a barony if you like and subscribe and share
Good will hunting clears
It wasn’t a competition but you’re very wrong
Judge Holden is Nikola Jokić no cap I can see him playing the judge fr
He isn't thick enough. Holden is a 300 pound 7 foot king
Great work! Absolutely Phenomenal….

@@freidfood3171 talking about the guy who wrote the book
@@paul_eau yes cormac mccarthy was evilpilled
@freidfood3171 hard
fantastic work on my favorite book as well. Great job
edgy
amazing video but jsut a heads up that "aborigionies" is considered a racist and outdated way of referring to Aboriginal people
I’m not Canadian or Australian. Bathcat refers to his hunting “aboriginies” in Tasmania. I was repurposing a since removed bathcat voice acting line. I am well aware of that word’s racist and colonialist history, and I hope you know I certainly did consider whether or not to say it. I would never say the word in real life to real people. Thanks for saying it’s an amazing video it took a damn long time.
youre an aborigine
The original writing here is killer. Great work.
Oh my god Judge Holden commented on my video 🗣️🔥
I can tell you put a lot of work into this video, Taxi Driver is a timeless classic and is indeed one of the greatest films to be created as well as one of my favorites, Travis is such a complex character too, De Niro's performance was top notch in this.
Thanks pal, I’ve been working on a possibly hour long, 19 page Blood Meridian gid so stay tuned some gas is on the way 🔥
Freid food uploading?? I’ve gotta tell my grandkids about this
tell your grandparents too they'll definitely care about victoria 3
great vid man, i too hate that i fill my limited brain space with the vic 3 economy system
He will be good bounty hunter or better then american psicho
I feel like Travis bickle everyday , I’m only 20 yrs old I got some bad ideas in my head , idk what to do
u need a purpose we all do it’s what we all look for and miss in most of our lives there would be less troubles in the world if all we had was purpose
Find that purpose, make yourself mean something. If Aloysius above reads this, you got this man, chase what you love, have fun, do whatever it is that makes you happy. You’re not like Travis Bickle, you can change, and I hope you’re alright. ❤️
@@freidfood3171 thanks man , hope we all make it
@@freidfood3171 we need to go out to the woods just like Viking and just try and survive and I’ll bet we will be the most alive and happy we’ve ever been(maybe not happy but at least not depressed or sad)
I have admit. This game is teaching me a lot about economy. But I'm still in the phase that I construct every thing I see that I can construct.
you're saying hoi4 and eu4 are bad?
with no dlcs yeah

Uhhh- no. I’m just saying they inspire a greater level of obsession in general

The solution to unprofitable dumb businesses? Force other nations into -diabetes- your markets to buy your shitty corn syrup and potato or corn starch "food products".
In America, the demand for sugar is in elastic, we need it as much as healthcare, water, or guns.

Can you imagine what it takes in life to make a man like that?
Not gonna lie your take is clearly expected of a follwer of hasan , not surpising at all
Huh? 1. Objectively I’m right 2. Follower of hasan?!
You know from the gecko that something really really bad is going to go down. That music relentlessly telegraphs it to you like a stalker moving inexorably closer whilst you realize there is absolutely nothing you can do to stop him.
What is the gecko?
I think you missed that 106 loves pain so they put it on a loud shitty speaker and blast it in the whole facility so that he hears it and gets recontained
scp means secure contain protect, not special containment procedures?
I’ve gotten this comment a bunch and you’re kinda right. “Secure Contain Protect” is the organizations motto, but SCP also refers to the “Special Containment Procedures” of their entities.
@@freidfood3171 ah ok
Me basically every time I try to explain the S.C.P. Foundation to anyone: 0:00 - 1:37
Apparently, this video is funny because it's ridiculous to some extent.
media literacy be like:
@@freidfood3171 I was meaning by the subject of the video to some extent.
Because I tend to find schadenfreude blursed.
you got the same amount of likes as you got subs
This is true….?
this is true@@freidfood3171
I’m starting to think this guy has a basic understanding of numbers
i mean, i felt like it was cool seeing you having the same number of subs as the likes in the video when i was watching@@freidfood3171
The titular organization of the SCP wiki is a non-government organization with involvement with multiple governments.
Did I say something about it being government? I don’t remember I made the video last summer
@@freidfood3171 Oh. Sorry... O_O
@@freidfood3171 Umm... I think you might've said it being government which is kinda a mistake. But let's move and learn from it. Surely it is a minor one, right? After all, it can be sort of easily repaired, I guess.
I definitely didn’t mean to make that mistake. When writing I probably meant something like “they function like a government”, but I probably did say something dumb. I’ll rewatch later and add a little thing to the description as I see fit. This was one of my earlier vids, so it was definitely not my most scholarly work lmao Thanks for the correction. I appreciate that people take time to make my videos better!
@@freidfood3171 You're welcome! =)
