this is my favorite movie because what I learned from our society is... it doesn't mean if you follow the laws of the government that you are at the side of good. And what I learned was to defeat pure evil is to be evil itself, I haven't cross that line unlike Alejandro... but who knows

My favorite movie of all time I absolutely love sicario

Kate is a super annoying character

Even I who came in knowing what the movie was about or what the ending was, was even fooled. I knew the ending because i saw the clip of that diner scene, i had to watch it for myself, such a good movie

Brilliant analysis mate

I think Kate is a vehicle for us to experience the story the way we would if we were placed into the movie. She's kept in the dark and sees all these terrifying thing, and struggles to understand what's going on until the end. She represents us, the viewer.

Please make more videos.

?? Universal studios.... you know the one that had the globe of the world as their emblem .... they new the shape of the world and the contients long before man pretended to go to the moon .... fancy that !

This certainly was a British youtube video

THERE'S NO APOSTROPHE IN ITS WHEN IT'S IN ITS POSSESSIVE FORM

This was an example of DEI in the workplace

This movie was pathetic. It was a naked propaganda film for US miltary complex's desire to invade Mexico and torture and kill at will. Then afterwards some US politicians proposed doing exactly that. As if the U.S. hasn't done enough damage to Central America with a century of meddling, overthrowing elected governments, and setting up banana republics and Fascist dictators. Absolute meaningless fake-deep trash.

Great analysis, but it misses a really important point, especially in the final point you make of “evil winning a war”. The final scene of Sicario, and as it’s reflected in reality, shows that the war isn’t won. There is continuous violence. No war was won through Alejandro’s actions, nothing came of anything he did. That is because the war on drugs is a war machine in itself, the border conflicts are a war machine in itself, it fuels the existence of the cartels in Mexico. Matt says to Kate that the war on drugs is because of drug users, and if everyone just stopped doing drugs the war would stop, but that sentiment is laughable if you actually know the mechanisms of the conflict. Drug production needs to be nationalised, legalised and kept within countries to minimise such violence crossing borders, and drug addiction needs to be decriminalised and met with empathy, proper treatment and not prison. Alejandro’s story is one of personal feelings, personal vengeance and tunnel vision, and the wider story is about the United States proud war machine chugging along and pissing over disadvantaged people and its own laws. I may be the only fan of Sicario that sees the film this way I fear, most fans seem to be ex service members or fairly neoliberal in their politics. I think the film is fantastic in its portrayal of the war on drugs because if its nuance. But yeah…yap over. Brilliant video !

You must be pretty dumb to be fooled by a movie like this.... probably voted for that lady and cried when trump got ellected

And u can guarantee all the cartels saw this movie, they also enjoy a good movie between hits😅

That explains why Kate isn't in the sequel 😅

Bro tried so hard to sound philosophic, the movie ain't that deep lol

Really=???....what a great surprise....

I am not sure you all realized, but the FBI woman was chosen because she was the weakest, she was emotional, she was easy to manipulate, the whole movie was good at making it seem as she was going to fix, make things better and push for law and order ... she was a pawn and a puppet.

its*

brilliant insight. channel is a+

My only problem with this movie, unlike Day of the Soldado, is that I'm stuck with Dead Weight 1 (Kate) and Dead Weight 2 (whatever Daniel's character name was, Kate's friend that I couldn't care less about) instead of Matt and the guys I ACTUALLY want to see. Sure, I imagine this was what made Sicario and Alejandro's character so memorable, not only him but Matt to an extent as the guy who gets and keeps everyone together. But still, having DW1 and 2 cry over everything when I'm way too familiar about how narco war works IRL, and such knowledge would make me not bat an eye to anything Matt does turn the movie into a bit of an unbearable experience at times.

We watched the movie through the eyes of an ignorant pawn. Ended up feeling just like her in the end and that's whats dope about it 💯✌🏽

I do believe that 'The Horse in Motion' may have been the first proper film or short film, but before that in 1874 their was Jules Janssen's 'Passage De Venus', which was a series of photographs that depict the transit of the planet Venus across the sun on the 9th of December 1874, and what i believe to be the first experience the world had with anything even remotely close to film.

Brilliant insight

You need a new job, this was inaccurate and at times borderline misinformation. You couldn't even match the correct screenwriter to the film via footage to make your point. Sketchy dude. No like, no subscribe. Thanks for playing.

Can we talk about “that scene”? What was he doing to him bro?

Thank you for explaining all the reasons I was utterly unable to connect to the movie in any way. I never understood why it was so well received. But then again it kind of seems like the movie is using some of the same tactics horror movies use - which I find very uninteresting as well.

I watch this movie at least once a year. Forever will be re-watchable IMO.

Or maybe the writer found the other characters more interesting the character the movie starts with. Aka bad writing that can also happens in good movies sometimes.

Dude why are the called sicario?? Thats from project wingman!!

Just like INDIANA JONES!! In THAT story, it was about the Raiders of the Lost Ark, literally. We ARE Indy.

I was very lucky to stumble on this film. Emily Blunt was outstanding as Kate. Everything goes through her and so to the audience member lives through her to keep the tension on the edge. A masterpiece on all aspects and is worth an amasing through all aspects. From cinematography and a sense of realism.

Matt is CIA not FBI. Kate and her partner are FBI. The CIA can't operate inside the US without a federal liason which is her place and used.

The background music to this video is other wordly.How was it made?

I think I'm going to watch it again tonight for the millionth time 😂

this was a really great video and it taught me a lot about history. thank you😃

Excellent Breakdown!!

music too loud - but otherwise, great.

I find the border attack to be far fetched, why would the cartel wait until it was right next to the border where back up is for the us when they could safely take them in juarez miles from the border

So many people get it wrong, in that the movie is all about Kate. Alejandro is the main character and why in the second one he turns (I believe)

“World needs bad men. We keep the other bad men from the door.” -True Detective

Everytime I watch this movie, I learn something new. Everyone played their role to perfection but even still; Josh Brolin's character played a spook to perfection. The harmless demeanor yet, the body language of cold blooded killer and Alejandro couldn't have portrayed Revenge, any better.

Absolutely love your review of the movie and your explantation of the unfolding of the story! Truly enlightening and enjoyable! Bravo Mr. Film Thought Project !

THIS MAKES SENSE!!! I never liked the first one I always liked the 2nd ( watched it yesterday, gonna watch it again today) I didnt like kate she got on my nerves and although the movie was decent I dont really remember it and didnt know why they kept focusing on kate. Guess I wasnt fooled

The first movide studio system was NOT started in Hollywood, it was jersey, the thomas edison , nexy it was ENGLAND who beat hollywood by a decade with Ealing..why.did you not mention this ???

Am I the only one that finds Kate annoying? She complains too much and tries to be the hero by not following orders and objectives

Great movie.

Why aren’t CIA agents afraid of the dark?

4 years later, what do we call the post covid woke hollywood moment
