Dude, you need to read the origins of Christmas to understand why there isn't a Christian symbol in this movie. Sorry for my english, I am not so good writing it.

This happened in boot camp in the late 60's if you fuck up some guys would pee in your bed, you are a child.

"Indeed, that's very true. This is how I see today's society myself. Our responsibility is to make it better. Just like Detective Prendergast, who knows that society will reject him, he accepts that the world is unfair, but decide to do everything in his ability to make it better. That's how one should be.

It sounds like they couldn't decide what type of character to make her, redeemable or irredeemable. And they tried to have their cake and eat it too, and ended up with 💩

Another movie character that would fit into Kurtz's army would be the soldier wearing red sunglasses in Alex Garland's movie Civil War.

Driven by a fantastic cast.. Gibson's direction leaves you with a story you can not turn away from..

No wonder they felt like gods

He's not completely gone. He's a, "shadow" of his former self. A rough approximation.

just realized Draymond Green was once an actor

0:32 god damn Mao, I have a friend who’s a hardcore Maoist and I do not understand him

I never hear people talking about this but one of the things I love the most about the John Wick series is how it really plays on the fact that Keanue Reeves is actually a terrible actor. He’s probably the most decent human being in Hollywood but he’s TERRIBLE at acting & he’s clearly aware of it. The whole series is obviously a nod to the 80s Action Movie Hero ridiculousness but Keanue adds something extra by really embracing his complete inability to convey any emotion in a believable way & just runs with it. Trust me once you realize he’s actually making fun of himself in A LOT of the scenes, it’s a completely different viewing experience.

It's not as though Tolkien's world didn't have morally grey characters-- look at Feanor or Turin -- but even they follow the mythic archetypes of Tragedy. These ROP writers are only looking surface level at the material (Middle Earth as "content") and putting their modern sensibilities on it.

6:14 Just realized the meaning behind this shot of Becket overseeing the raising of the clock face. Literally "time is up" for the age of Pirates.

Basically the mayans were the first civilation that was killed off by overconsumption... someday people might be looking at our cities and trying to figure out wtf happened to us

*I feel like Henry and Karen’s marriage is pretty chauvinistic and toxic*

Genuine question, how do you know for sure that your video essay is 100% correct and in line with the directors message? Do you watch directors and actors essays?

They literally went into hell.

Women lol

Palestinian people trough this for 78 years

Your epilogue to this video was sublime. Thank you and God bless you.

I've heard some UA-cam channels commentaries on this movie. Yours is the best.

You don’t understand because you didn’t live through it. Is this a concise and succinct response?

To try to quote fmr. Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara: "You can say many things about MAD [Mutually Assured Destruction] but MAD it isn't." It's largely kept the peace in Europe since 1945 and continues to prevent W.W.3.

I certainly could see the deeper meanings behind “The Grey” but many criticisms were that they should have stayed at the DC-9 crash site and that wolves do not attack humans.

I know Tom played John Fitzgerald and has his take on what they would do if they were switched in their situations, but I don't think Hugh Glass would have murdered any of his company. John Fitzgerald is a psychopath, and Tom Hardy played him amazingly

@ ~ 9:05 Pyle wasn't tortured... he was corrected by his squad. The cohesion of the unit is paramount to the survival of the team as a whole. Yes, I agree that he was unfit for duty and should have been discharged. But it is obvious that you have never served or have been in combat so we'll leave it at that

I mean, it sure was in line with his character. So I think I wouldn't have cut it from the film had I been in Kubrik's shoes.

This film is indeed glorious. You however are overthinking the main theme which is the way of Grace or Nature and which one should prevail. He also gives us an answer in the love everyone feels for R. L. the artistic son who dies. When the mother asks God "Where were you" during her grief, that triggers the creation sequence which in my mind is God saying I was creating all this.............. which lead to you. Absolutely love Malik, his message is so subtle and yet so strong.

he loves war for sure, to me he was saying some day this is gonan end so make sure you enjoy it,

Excellent video

I do think demonizing someone completely is just as dangerous as deifying him. It seperates his actions from humanity, making it less likely anyone can believe a person can do such harm. Making it likely someone else like him can rise again. Just as we avoid worshiping celebraties and especially politicians, we need to avoid demonizing and dehumanizing cruel people. Because they are people, they are real, they aren't mythological.

One of my favorite films of all time , I really enjoyed watching this video as well 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Mozart and Tucker Carlsen share the same laugh!

One of the best movies of all time

This movie is all about anti military. It's overly exaggerated and written by those whom were to afraid to serve.

I've read this film was shown to German teens and it wasn't a great hit bc the pianist was so passive. Never fought back, witnessed the ghetto uprising from behind the wall. Helpless, depending on others. My memory of this film is the pianist's friend who jeered at the Germans who were incarcerated by the Soviets, then regreted it.

That movie is out there... I enjoy watching it. I'm a hillbilly, but read alot. Imagine it I probably read it. Also I studied Sigmund Freuds works. The gun sex thing is easy for me to understand. It also angers people in a minute. 🤔

@7:04 .... this is such a millennial mamas boy's take on the historical record of over throwing kings.... it wasnt just about revenge... it was about ending the bloodline, succession or claim to the thrown, and the age old rule of "never leave anyone alive that could come back for you" .... that means both the wife and sons and anyone else at the Hacienda...

Surf boarding? It’s surfing.

an incredible movie

Never watched the movie...but, I volunteered and when I experienced boot camp, it was enlightening that we were working class or "loser" class. Most of us anyway. There was abusive humor in the way DIs treated us. I understand that the process was intended to reduce our understanding that we were separate, individual characters and the intention was to cause us to think as a group or a unit. That is what basic seemed to me. The DIs were, along with other objectives, looking for the guys that were irreparable and pointing that "flaw" out to the rest of us. It turned out that i was one of the 'flawed Marines". I wasn't childlike, or illiterate. I wanted to be a "good" Marine but unfortunately, the boot camp programing didn't sink in. My cynicism remained intact during the training and the absurdity of what that training was supposed to accomplish failed on my account. I volunteered for Vietnam but as I have reflected back on that time, I think of myself as less of a warrior and more of a tourist. Being a killer was anathema to my young soul.

I think a lot of people are forgetting the book it’s based on which set much earlier.

No point in looking for deep philosophical meaning in a war that was purposely LOST from the beginning thanks to WEAK politicians. Americans started, then capitulated at the same time, in 1965. What came later were just "exercises" and "war games" with live ammo. They were not willing to do what needed to be done to WIN the war. I suspect they were going for a stalemate, like in Korea, where the country would be demarcated. That sure didn't work. Just like decades later in Afghanistan. American war record: 2 wins, WW1 and 2, one tie, Korea, 2 losses, Vietnam and Afghanistan. Plot that on a curve and it just keeps going DOWN.

Loved your analysis. Thanks for presenting it.

I think to understand Apocalypse Now it really helps to read Heart of Darkness. Ultimately, both stories are about comparing the occupiers with the natives. People think the natives are savages, and they think we are civilized, but really, the natives are no worse than we are. The Vietnamese were almost exclusively represented as sympathetic. You can see this especially in the boat massacre scene. We are meant to think, "we're no better than they are". Kilgore isn't any better of a person that Kurtz. That is the real point. Kilgore is clearly psychopathic, he clearly doesn't think twice about massacring an entire village just so that he can surf. He just had the optics that the army wanted, and Kurtz didn't. That's their difference. And that is a reflection of the entire war. The north Vietnamese didn't have the optics the US wanted, the south Vietnamese did.

It could have been 2 movies or a miniseries. From what I researched on Hollywood, the inspirational references were real but crammed together.

Ganz is the only convincing Hitler I’ve ever seen.

Collateral and Leon did it way better. Even the Hitman games are better. But ironically The Killer is the closest thing to Hitman and assassins IRL. Just listening to you describe The Killer “storyline” makes it very misleading, just as the trailer did. It’s really not that deep, not a good story at all, while Collateral is an absolute masterpiece as is Leon The Professional.

Shitlibs are always trying to go "You're not supposed to sympathize/relate with the character", what, I'm supposed to sympathize with the government that took his daughter from him with no reason? With the gangsters and pretentious people given a MINISCULE amount of power that threaten and belittle him? With the NAZI?!
