Why The Iron Claw was the Best Movie of 2023
Переглядів 2,6 тис.2 місяці тому
The Iron Claw received no Academy Award nominations. It earned less than a twentieth of Barbie's total box office. But The Iron Claw was my favorite movie of 2023. The film could've been nothing more than an effective, bleak tragedy, but Sean Durkin finds home hope amidst the sorrow. In this video, I breakdown the survival of Kevin Von Erich, and why it makes The Iron Claw a truly superb piece ...

How To Live Happily Next to a Death Camp | The Zone of Interest

The Zone of Interest is unlike any Holocaust film ever made. The goal of the movie is to make the audience identify with the perpetrators, not the victims. As a result, we never step inside the walls of Auschwitz. Instead, we observe the family living happily next door. In this video, I explore the lessons we can take away from the German family and explain why there is still hope to be taken f...

    I truly believe that the wolves were never real. They were metaphors for his depression. The same goes for the other passengers on the plane. They were all dead. He was the only survivor. Having each person get picked off was just basically having a specific memory in his mind that the passenger represented get taken away. Meaning his depression was slowly trying to devour him whole. The main alpha was the final boss, do or die, either you keep going or you end it all right then and there. It is one of the best movies about depression that I have ever seen. The Babadook is a close second.

    I thought the movie was structured like Dante's Divine Comedy. He goes to Hell, meets the devil, goes to Purgatory, where his fantasies are all reveled to be false, and goes to heaven in a toy store, where his wife says' they should fuck. He crosses from one stage to another each time he enters his apartment.

    Pyle didn’t have the capacity to undergo the demands of Paris Island. I used to work with a guy who was a marine. I was talking to him once and his eyes drifted. He had what you could refer to as the “1000 mile stare”. One day he snapped and lost his shit with a female manager when she said next to nothing to him. He got released from the job obviously. Months later he murdered a friend’s girlfriend as he was staying with them and she didn’t come back with the drugs he wanted. He’s still in prison and will be for awhile if not life. It’s still hard to believe he was sitting across the table from me maybe a foot away. And he was a marine, one of the most noble services one could do in this lifetime. It’s both wild and sad…

    0:36 It's a testament to how bad Damien Chazelle is as an editor. Not as a film editor, but a script one. Babylon is utterly unfocused. It's *excellent* in minutes but then careens backwards and forwards and I think the problem all comes back to the format: this is a bad story to tell in a traditional Hollywood feature-length film. It SHOULD have been a Netflix miniseries. Breaking the story up into multiple episodes over a longer format would've allowed Chazelle to tell the story he wanted to at the pace he wanted to. I really like your effort to note the strengths of the theme, the use of color, and the ambition behind the whole production. A lot of artistry went into this and I personally really enjoy the soundtrack, the sets, and certain scenes; the contrast between the dynamic film production of the Silent Era and the restrictions when sound is introduced should be showcased in film history classes. But it's too decadent, too focused on shock, spectacle, and gross-out scenarios. Scenes like the upperclass party come off as hackneyed and eye-rollingly lecturing while all the Toby Maguire scenes could've been excised without loosing anything. None of this bolsters the central theme, only takes away. Nellie, Manny, and Jack are the central focus; Fay, Sidney, and Elinor are background stories but Chazelle tries to focus on them as well further muddying the waters and bloating the runtime. Themes are important but an audience won't connect with them if they're delivered poorly. It may be too soon to say, but I fear this film is destined to be remembered for its excesses more than for the universality of its characters. Those that do share clips of it will share the scenes of elephant shit and projectile vomit over the tender monologues and movie theater montage.

    Finally. Someone who gets the importance of the difference between these two characters contrasting each other. I’ve been saying some similar points since the 1980s! I would also add that both Colonel Kurtz and Kilgore are operating outside of the bounds of their authority. However, there is irony in that Kilgore’s strategy (which allows his silly pursuits) is losing the war. Again, just the opposite of Kurtz, who was winning with his outsider methodologies. Yet, he is the one being hunted by the US government.

    The bug scene, it resembles Jane, a huge thing in comparrison, when skinny pete kills the bug, jesse is rarely sparing people - books are sort of omens in bb, the iteration of O’Keefe’s doors and the scene with Jesse and Jane holding hands, it makes it make sense that there is no connection even more, and makes their connection in that moment make even even more sense - well correlate, as did the bug not only relating to Jane, but the from above death, crash, even down in a microcosm a lot of the same rules apply, hence bugs foreboding death always and as well, spooge’s death - Marie, Skylar (twice) and Jane’s father all go for an identical dress, the one she’d wear at her funeral... There is plenty of other symbolism, Walt and his baby turned sideways before seeing Jane, Jane saying should I have stayed in bed forever when Jesse made Huevo Ranchero’s - I swear, in term’s of character development and symbolism, foreshadowing and use of the Anton’s Gun rule more or less but in a very contained way- wild they stayed consistent with such a show in fine details

    A disagreement: I don't think Animal Mother would fit into Kurtz's zeitgeist. While he can certainly dehumanize his enemies, he strikes me as being too outwardly sadistic; taking too much pleasure and having too much outward hatred for them to be one of Kurtz's acolytes. As you say, Kurtz's ideology is humorless and inhuman; Animal Mother seems too driven by the mutilated deontology of racism and American exceptionalism in my opinion.
