Thia was brilliantly examined, Nouri. Thank you. That is the heart of this movie inderneath the heists and gunfight scenes- it really is about HUMAN CONNECTION!

I picked up this book on your recommendation and I'm a big fan. As a self proclaimed non-creative, I still got a lot of value out of his assertion that creativity exists everywhere, and that even the most mundane decisions (like picking a new route to drive to work) involve tapping into creativity. Reframed the way I approach things for sure!

Brilliant!! And so appropriate for all of us in these strange times

Great honest video thanks for sharing really enjoyed it 👏

As they say, 'less is more' .... Thanks for the great, short video with your shooting tips.

I would add to this list The UK version of "Utopia" and for shot selection and interesting compositions the first episode of "The Rook" (or really anything directed by Kari Skogland) and pretty much any season of "Sherlock": kzbin.info/www/bejne/ranKh4CForifmqM

For just a hint at the early greatness of each actor, may I suggest this double feature: ... AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. Post-GODFATHER II, Pre-SCARFACE, this great film shows Al Pacino giving his most heart-wrenching performance as a lawyer beset by constant failures at the hands of the justice system. ANGEL HEART. Robert DeNiro goes toe to toe with Mickey Rourke as a mysterious benefactor who hires Rourke to search for a man who owes him...... big time.❤

No Snowfall?

100% the thought of going to film school was regularly crossing my mind just for the networking aspect. But I also think usually, these networks work for people who think similarly and share a similar culture. Would we have fitted in enough to benefit from it? There are a few filmmakers on KZbin who have shared alternative ways they've built networks later in life and were able to get decent teams and funding (I am thinking of channels like Friends in Film, Film Courage and Luc Forsyth). The reason I want to see you up there is not only because I'd be happy you'd be living your dream but also because you'd have a much bigger platform and would bring a voice with meaning and depth in the industry. insha'Allah anything can happen

God bless you Nouri. I actually enjoyed and found benefit watching this. ❤

Couldn't disagree agree more. Heat is not at all about the fear of human connection. Heat is an allegory about the individual in society and his attempts to fit in. MaCuly is not looking for individual connections. He's trying to make his way in the world, most importantly on his terms. Just like One flew over the Cukoos's Nest or Mann's breakthrough film Thief. Same theme. This is a more complex subject than individual connection.

If a cop and a criminal can both conquer their fears of human connection by connecting with each other, then that’s a pinnacle testament to the power of cinema. Thank you for your analysis of Heat.

Loki season 2 was also fully of great cinematography

Absolutely loved this! You should do this more! Few people in the community actually talks this technical aspect of filmmaking

Euphoria!!

Check out HBO's Barry

Ozark and snowfall were amazing too

Just ordered a 35mm as well!! Can't wait till I get it in my hands!! I've been watching everyone else use it for too long now!!! Now it's my turn!!

Some excellent shots here!

Watch Too Old to die Young from Nicholas winding Refn,

Great list! Another really good show to watch for the cinematography is Snowfall

Atlanta love in 2025, I love to see it!! Honorable mention, THe Sopranos. Especially Season 1!!!

good video. please free the birds mate. it's cruel.

I've watched Atlanta at least 5 times

yes brother amazing vid

These are beautiful and great examples!

and Euphoria, Reservation Dogs

Thank you! I haven't heard of all of them I'll have a look

nothing beats Saul

I can't describe the joy I feel when someone mentions Mr. Robot

thumbs up for a video that didn't take all day to watch.

You're a cool guy man. Loved this.

It's about great hair, great suits and ridiculous stories.

Both are also near the top of my list, especially the longest version of The New World - my favourite Malick.

Sometimes, we humans, are allowed to brush with infinity with a mortal single second that breaches decades on the larger scale. I was a lucky one this time. Your comments,... your points... helped bring a kind of closure to a 'dilema' I have been mulling over for about 30 years. Thank you.

This is the very best take I have seen so far of this timeless classic! Keep on the good work! Sub earned!

Excellent analysis! You uncovered the deeper layers and revealed the true essence of the film. I would just add that the music is absolutely incredible and harmonizes perfectly with the scenes throughout the movie.

Hello At 3m50s it’s the pocket 6k ? What is the lens on it ?

Thank you. It is also one of my favorite movies. And the commentary was interesting, easy to follow, and short 🙂

The painting inspired the look of the film…1967 painting "Pacific" by Alex Colville…criminal not to mention it.

This post seems quite silly click bait the movie is clearly about a gang of robbers who must be prepared to cut off all ties if they ‘see The Heat’ around the corner, as it states. Totally a waste of time to look deeper and deSpite this post, NONE of the actor interviews even comes CLOSE to suggesting this crap ‘theory’. Al Pacino’s character explicitly states he cant hold a marriage due to his 24/7 duty as we see time and again. The most famous scene with De Niro in the diner takes place ‘after hours’ and was scripted to show this fact. The police,an is obsessive and the gang is greedy. BTW: The gang all have partners they are devoted to loving and THAT element of devotion is critical part of the sub plot so yeah this post is total BS, understand now? I dont think you watched the same movie

@nourisardrdp LOL - Allow some free advice from a Dr.: You suffer from Paralysis by analysis. Literally, your rude reply making MY POINT! THank you! And ON queue! Within moments of my critique. what? 3 minutes? Are you asleep atop your phone when it vibrates an alert? Again, You must be an IMAX theater operator - PROJECT much? . . . Bra’?!!! still lmfao!! Don’t quit your day job just because your cousins all click ‘like’ …. still lmfao . . . Give ya ONE thing: You may be OFF point but you’re totally ON queue!! I was simply correcting someone’s (i.e., your) gross negligence but PLEASE Come back!! and I’ll press some more of your buttons. lmaf. . . . PLEASE!! I’ll hang out. Your phone will vibrate in 30 seconds…. GO! ….. bra’!

some great gems here. looking forward to collaborating with you in the near future inshAllah bro!

HOGWASH! The main characters have jobs which conflict with healthy relationships, as the dialog describes several times. Period. You’re PROJECTING your own inadequacies on FICTIONALIZED characters.

Awesome analysis...definitely watching it

This film is a masterpiece but in my personal opinion the real world is much worse than what the world depicts

''is about YOUR fear of human connection ''

Your perception is a gift. This insight resonates with me so profoundly I can't put it into words. I hope you nurture and protect your gift and continue to create more art like this that heals the world. If there is anything I can do to help do not hesitate to reach out to me. Your future is bright.

It commodifies creative output and makes the act of making just another mundane task. We are abundant with slop, but at least our shareholders are happy with the “content.”

Yes dude! It really kind of molds every type of "content" into one thing, which really stifles creativity. A good example is the Mr. Beast Effect on KZbin where everything turns into a formula. Probably a bit hyperbolic but it still has some impact. Great video man
