It took me 64 years to finally watch this movie, holy fk I was definitely born at the wrong time, we got to give it to Bernard Herrmann for that absolute score, you could feel the horror in the music, now this is the greatest horror movie I've watched thiy year so far

Interesting that you mention Coppola was influenced by Hitchcock/Psycho for the bathroom scene - the "bloody toilet" is something that's also used in Psycho 2 (1983)!!

Amazing that Powell released Peeping Tom a few months prior, arguably the British counterpart. I don't necessarily agree with the story that the film ruined his career, but it's incredible that these 2 films with similar themes (obviously made under different circumstances & their directors at different points in their careers ) had such varying effects!

i thought this movie was a piece of trash

6:25 the real Frank Sheeran had a stutter. That’s honestly the only part of this entire story that this movie portrays accurately. I’d recommend reading The Quiet Don and The Life We Chose to get a more accurate version of what happened.

terrible clothes, terrible hair, no bra....a masterpiece lol

great film. but I hate this character for all the reasons you point out. Hes a loser, chaos/crisis addict who would burn down everyones world to selfishly scratch his itch. He is dangerous and should be avoided at all costs. Great work by Sandman in the portrayal of a walking disaster.

I admire Nolan, but it's easy to glamorise directors like him and claim that he doesn't use any CGI/digital VFX whatsoever. That's simply not true. He clearly used it for Two Face's disfigurement in TDK, for example. Even Oppenheimer used a degree of digital VFX (even if it was used in tandem with the practical effects. You can read online about one his VFX artists having to do digital compositing for the explosion scene, most of which was done practically). Most of the time you wouldn't even notice CGI/digital VFX in modern films. Even Tom Cruise used it in MI4's Burj Al Khalifa scene, getting rid of his safety harness, using CGI to create sandstorms/the city background etc, and does so in the other films in tandem with the practical stuntwork. VFX and CGI Artists are great btw. Very underrated members of the film industry.

I find this movie to be a perfect time capsule movie. The movie has recreated a bunch of locals and atmosphere that is lost from that time. the movie is about a bunch of has been and are never going to be somthing again. And we all know this is a look back at a turning point in history. The whole american culture was going from the post war boom into the Vietnam depression where the usa aint so good. And one of the things that signifies that is the death of Charon Tate. So saving Charon Tate in way to prolong this time period. Making sure it keeps going.

So nobody else thinks this film is a mess?

This mf is underrated masterclass 🎉🎉❤ The discarded image 👌 ❤

No you don't let anything slide because it's Brad Pitt

Comparing LP to the Master is silly. The Master was riveting. LP was so slow I got up to go to the bathroom 3 times. PT is y favorite director & I hated LP passionately. I don’t even understand how he got $40 million to play around with 70 mm camera. It reminds me of Antonioni making Zabriski Point. Beautiful photography with no story & no actors. Except I’ve watched ZP 100 times and can’t bring myself to watch LP again. I hope he didn’t peek with Phaantom Thread. Tarantino is right about making ten films

Great essay, thanks for making it. I would like to offer just one comment, that the background music really didn't do this video any favors. It honestly takes away from the art and what you're sharing.

Magic....!!!! No I prefer 8 1/2. 🐞

I just started watching it and if it is what it is, it is the best response to the hysteria of Me2 movements and all the nuances that is missed by people 's agenda is something different to what is involved in the complexity of what leads to sex. It is about seduction by casting the roles as such the movie is telling us to stop thinking in stereotypes and look at the details. Then you can see that it is not such a one-sided story, contrary to what appears after the event. Having listened to all the arguments of such social frenzies, I had often thought that a lot of details are missing here. Sex is messy and what takes place before and after are locked forever in the subjective memory that is often polluted with all sorts of what at the time seemed irrelevant. Indeed, after every sexual act I have often asked myself what was that about? It quickly turns into a distant past emotionally that you don't know how and why it started and when and who could have intervened, change its dynamics, or even stopped it does on many occasions with one party suddenly thinking: ah well, maybe, not this time. You ask why and the answer is hardly understandable. A sudden fart or headache or a reminder of an unpleasant memory suddenly running through your brain is all it takes to so called ruin the mood and yet suddenly it becomes the most consequential decision you have taken. This is why it appears disjointed. It is bit like the beginning of 2001, it starts in one place and then on spinning of bone it turns up 100,000 years away. The music is a waltz but if you pay attention, you see the disorientation of point view in the camera. Space is not a place for a waltz. It is all pretend. But few see that contradiction between the music and the environment and come away with the wrong conclusion. This is the genius of the man.

Yet more cick bait reading BS theories into something that isn't there.

love your work so far, 3 videos in

Great analysis, was able to describe the film in a way I couldn't put into words. You got yourself a new subscriber.

Disgusting and loud background music. Ruins the video

Beautiful video, man!

What’s the song at 3:27? Pretty sure Taylor Swift’s Fortnite joint took from that

Anderson is often two steps ahead of his audience.

Yo

Showing a woman and a man on a bed together partly clothed was a real shocker as well as showing a toilet being flushed. "Psycho" was about as jarring, if not more so, than "The Exorcist" was. Yet in only a little over a decade, standards were so much more relaxed that showing a couple on a bed was nothing compared to watching a little girl masturbate with a crucifix.

I am not the big Tarantino Fan but I realy like this movie. It has a good ending. Not the real ending but sometimes we all wish it would have been changed to the better.

nah, it's actually great for cinema. The Oscars dont get to decide what a Great film is anymore. We live in the most opinionnated society maybe ever, and art gets to be subjective again. I say strike down the celebrity popularity contest.

This is why Steven Spielberg is one of my favourite directors of all time!

I've watched Once Upon a Time... almost as many times as I've seen Pulp Fiction and Inglorious Basterds for whatever that's worth. Like The Big Lebowski it gets better and better upon rewatches. Tarantino is such a great and deliberate artist.

They can show tits on youtube now??

They are the same one ia the peraona of the other abd that is the puzzle...it ia work around a jungian theory...not two seperate persons no!!!

Like the structure. Loved the main actress. Could not get past the love story between a 15 year old and adult woman. It just made it all….yuck.

That final scene with the mimes, when the camera focuses on the photographers face as he watches the imaginary tennis game is a moment of frightening self-realization --- if you look carefully, you will see a subtle yet clearly expressed change occur in the lead characters face --- it is when he realizes that he has lost his individuality and given in to the overall illusion that daily tries to entrap us --- the moment where you realize you have become untethered by having joined the many and in the process have lost yourself. A quietly haunting and existentially devastating moment. The only saving grace (some would call it a curse), is that he is actually one of the rare few individuals who recognizes this fact and because he does, he will, from that moment onward, forever be an outsider. To be alone in a crowd as it were.

THERE IS WELLES THEN DAYLIGHT

Because she’s not pretty enough to sit and watch through a 2hour film about a grown women with no friends

Great movie but the De Aging CGI puts me off especially when Frank supposed to be younger.

The background music is a bit too loud and does not really match the topic.

2:05

I’d like to complement about that scene with the infrarred night vision perspective, because besides the reference to Godard’s “Alphaville”, it reminded me of FW Murnau’s “Nosferatu”, where there’s a scene when the main character is arriving at Nosferatu’s castle and they turn the image to negative, in a classical german expressionism way, that aims to convey the idea of crossing a threshold into the paranormal world, and I think that Villneuve does the exact same thing, crossing to Mexico (in a symbolic way through the tunnel that reminds of hell) and also crossing a threshold into a world with no law, where the rules Kate understands are completely shattered, as her character ends up being by the end of the film.

stunning work!!!!!!!

Its a movie. You're a man...or woman. Life works with or without you.

Well done. Very impressive. Amazing job

I would like to watch the films mentioned here, I wish I had more time like I had when I was in my 20s and was a huge cinephile :)

Good lord, this is the most long winded, verbose bunch of bullshit of a movie explanation I’ve ever seen. And still no fucking clue what the movie is about.

Amazing photography for that era. Apart from Janet Leigh's dead stationary eye ...when the camera focuses up on the running shower from below ,why isn't the water splashing on the camera lens ?

11:05 I always get goosebumps from this scene. It's so bittersweet. It is a reminder, especially when the title flashes in the end. One can at least probably tell that this is a good fantasy, but you are still reminded of the reality of what truly happened.

Tf are you talking about son!? The film is perfect!

"Meta" as in Metamucil, strikes me as made-up word that belongs in prefix land.

Great analysis on a main level of the film. Having been born in the 60's and lived some of my youth in SoCal, I'd like to add that we're also seeing the naivete of 1970's American culture, allowing us to laugh at ourselves regarding where we were and where we've gotten.
