3 Brilliant Moments in the Visuals of Emotion

[@thecinematicmind]

The last scenes with Brooks is still one of my favourite aspects of the film to this day. He realises he prefers living in the prison and can't live in modern times. That is heartbreaking.

[@roach9397]

Brooks was here

[@ianfleischer3532]

The Real Dagoth Ur brooks was fucking here

One of the few times I teared up in any piece of film

[@sahalanimation]

the moment I saw Brooks in the thumbnail, i was like "i'm not sure if I'm ready to watch this"

[@andreidmny]

It's the feeling I have every time I watch that scene. That and the "20 years of messages" scene from Interstellar are the most emotional scenes I've seen in film.

It's a perfect representation of the willingness to use more than two brain cells in society these days.

[@sandonperkins5626]

[@swanclipper]

would you rather be noticed by 10 million people for doorknob or would you prefer to be one in 20,000 about the culture of genuine movie appreciation? i stopped watching watchmojo about 2 years ago. i check their video list but i don't watch any of them anymore.

[@Shoomydoomy]

[@Decetop]

The thing I always notice about the brooks scene is how he grabs onto the bar in the bus.

[@GenNorris]

He looks like a young boy on his first bus ride to school. Breaks my heart.

[@demacry]

@@GenNorris That's actually how prisoners are transferred on buses. They're told to grab a hold of the seat in front of them and keep their hands in view. Brooks has been in the system for so long and probably gone through enough transfers that he does it naturally; a lot like the way Morgan Freeman's character calls his manager "boss" when asking for permission to use the bathroom (prisoners usually refer to the officers on duty as boss).

[@wavyremix]

Yeah his fear is heartbreaking

[@knowwhey7559]

@@demacry Geez, do you think you missed the point? The director's intention was to visually show someone gripped with fear, and James pulled it off beautifully.

[@rvantong]

Know Whey That's your own interpretation. Demacry's interpretation also makes sense. Could be both things happening at once. Why are you being a dick about it?

[@lowserver2]

that children of men scene is just magic

[@pablocontrerassanchez8111]

They did thankfully, didn't go SUPER smoothly though.

[@melissasmith6762]

[@Davidp915]

Brooks's death was the first time during any film where I began to cry. It was a powerful moment and made me love the Shawshank Redemption that much more

[@thecarpetguy9]

David Pagan if a film can make me cry, in my books it's an excellent film

[@Gravedigga63]

For me it was the ending of Schindler's list, I'm actually surprised that didn't make the cut here, it was just this intense summation of the beauty of the film, I couldn't help but cry because of how perfectly Spielberg tied up the story.

[@rickycarrillo7821]

[@melissasmith6762]

Funny and dumb scene.

[@morningcoffee1111]

Touching and powerful. It gets me too. -every, time-

[@Ceares]

I have just the opposite reaction. All I can think about is that in 10 or 15 years, they would happily murder that child, that every single person with a gun and every single person they've murdered with that gun was once a child, a moment of hope turned into ash and that if that's what humanity becomes at it's most desperate moments, which is probably true, then it deserves to die out.

[@damarh]

@@Ceares at that point the kid would have outlived it's usefulness but that is not the subject of the movie.

[@santim270]

watching that 7 times in a row is making bawl

[@SuneTheMairn]

The whole Brooks sequence from Shawshank is by far some of the saddest most heartbreaking things I have ever seen. "They send you here for life, and that's exactly what they take" Masterpiece.

[@Faygris]

Wow, these moments are still unbelievably powerful to me, even without the context of the movie. I haven't even seen Children of Men, but I still started crying and getting goosebumps from this scene.

[@itzybitzyspyder]

The whole movie is moving. You simply must see it.

[@TheOnceAndFutureDoug]

Great movie and that scene is one of the most affecting from any movie I've ever watched. Perfect choice for their number one spot.

[@killergamesplaya]

Go see it. Awesome movie!

[@jameskguen]

Children of Men is in my top 5 and always will be. Even when re-watching and knowing the outcome of the scenes it has an effect on my emotions that no other film can achieve. Any of you guys notice that an orange always appears somewhere before a violent scene occurs? lol

[@Feintgames]

I agree. It's just a precisely well done movie. It doesn't have the feel of an easily made movie, so I guess the only criticism I can think of is that the camera work is so cool that it draws attention to the camera, vs the scene (specifically the very cool and well done car chase scene). I don't know if this is a problem with the movie, or a problem with all the other movies in the world not doing as good of a job of presenting information. Children of Men is how movies perhaps should be made, and aren't. So being exceptional draws attention to the movie and away from the story in some ways. But really, I just love it. And the story and visuals are strong enough to make any criticism just background analysis that doesn't impact the viewing experience unless you pay attention to these sorts of things.

[@loomynarty4099]

I watched 12 years a slave once. I never watched it again. Nor will I ever. Yet it's still one of the best movies I have ever seen.

[@LibraryCake]

same with the original Oldboy

[@Werewolf914]

The scene with Brooks in Shawshank is amazing, I love the line "I saw an automobile once as a kid and now they're all over" it just shows you how long it's been for him and how much has changed, and while taking it all in he is left alone where in Prison he was surrounded by people and he had his Bird, it's probably up there in the saddest movie moments of all time.

[@ProBrosification]

I watched Shawshank Redemption for the first time a few weeks ago. I couldn't stop myself crying through Brooks' departure. The bit when the camera pans along all the food he's struggling to bag in time and when he says his 'hands hurt'. No outpouring of emotion, no crescendo, just a man talking about his life with only the barest hint of complaint. And it hit me so hard. Damn. I cried again just watching the bit you put in here. Generally films don't affect me in such a profound way, so I have the deepest respect to the artists that remind me how human it is to cry

[@ChubbyChecker182]

Brooks in Shawshank is the most affecting scene I have ever seen in the movies. Brilliantly done, and he should have got best supporting actor.

[@laustcawz2089]

You haven't seen anywhere near enough movies, then.

That scene in 12 Years A Slave. Uncomfortable to watch, but damn, incredible cinematography, direction and Chiwetel's performance. All thanks to Steve McQueen. Like McQueen's Debut Biopic Hunger (2008), I call this confrontational cinema at its finest.

[@danyelperao]

Tommy Wiseau must be proud of his movie being in this study (even in a pejorative example!)

[@buckybarnes2026]

i was looking for this comment

[@JalepenoHunter]

This is such a brilliant series. Thank you for going so in depth on this stuff.

[@Werewolf914]

Their lists and the Frame by Frame series over on TheFilmTheorists channel are my favorite videos on KZbin, I love how they go into the film making instead of being like this is a pretty cool movie let's put it in a list.

[@Garland41]

How have you guys not done top ten movie scores/soundtracks?

[@SaraStar7373]

They tend to take it down to individual moments and go into more depth rather than name dropping. I think they've done a video on sounds actually.

[@NACHOXXX4]

copyright

[@Garland41]

Sara Dickson They spoken of sound design, but not the score. They mention how the score affects the scene in The Shawshank Redemption, which is why I brought it up. I will say that they rather tend to focus on elements of film that are more objective than subjective, this is how they treated the most beautiful animations and live action film lists; however, there is an objective aspect to music which can be touched upon. In the definition by John Cage, paraphrased because I don't have a direct quote, silence is uncontrolled sound, while music is controlled sound. If this channel is a film theory channel, then I guess they've read some of the film theory of Gilles Deleuze who was a contemporary of John Cage, they never met, if I remember correctly, however, they influenced each other. Today, most films are like the Music of Charles Ives, Debussey, and others than the traditional classic styles that appear before Beethoven. What John Cage managed to do for music was to usurp the power long held by the composer over the piece. Two great powers we see this in are Beethoven and Wagner who believed if anything musically was to be done, they had to write it down. Before them, we have the instrumentalist with more power because when cadenzas in the music came, they would improvise them. Later in the classical period and definitely in the romantic period, the composers would write out the cadenzas thus taking away the power from the instrutmentalist. All the while the listener, the one who the piece was written for, has no power in the situation as to the interpretation of the music. John Cage destroyed this for music with 4min:33sec by allowing no part in the chain to control the sound and hearing and interpreting the music that the silence produced. My point in all of this is to express that music can be judged objectively, and beyond Watch Mojo, beyond copywriter, and beyond individual subjects of reference, they could examine this part of the film making and theoretical process. Watch Mojo is terrible anyway. That is all.

[@SaraStar7373]

Garland41 that's really interesting. I've never formally learnt about film (my media studies teacher is almost definitely a five year old in an adult disguise) but I find it so fascinating. I think it would be really interesting for them to talk about it for sure. I also think it would be so cool for them to do videos on individual people in the film industry - like dissect a few outstanding moments of a certain director or cinematographer etc. I would really love to see their take on some of my favourite directors like Denis Villeneuve and Charlie Kaufman in more depth.

[@tommy2capa]

*because although this channel is great with movies they don't understand anything about music...

[@JalepenoHunter]

I still get goosebumps every time at the Children of Men scene... such a powerful moment.

[@TwasADream22]

It's safe to say that nothing else on KZbin brings me more joy than these videos! This channel alone has extremely broadened my knowledge for film and it's processes. Thank you!

[@Gcannoli1837]

The final duel between harmonica and frank at the end of once upon a time in the west. A mixture of score, brilliant camera work and so much tension. The end result is great

[@robertbratley66]

Without ever having seen the movie and only having the description given to me, Children of Men's scene brought tears to my eyes within a couple seconds. I'll admit I tear up like I'm chopping onions the moment any act of pure and beautiful humanity is shown on-screen but this shot is just amazing regardless. The look of disbelief on both the parents' and soldier's faces speak volumes and the hopeful worship in the eyes of the other soldiers and civilians convey the absolute miracle that has just occurred, making you feel hope alongside them to such an overwhelming degree. I am going to go search out the movie to watch once I finish this video

[@PlacingRareBlocks]

I love the cut to the rooftop scene in "the room" when you're listing brilliantly designed scenes lmao

[@richardjarden690]

I've often said that there is nothing more overpoweringly touching than an unexpected act of decency.

[@TheOnceAndFutureDoug]

These episodes are why I keep following your channel. Maybe they're not the most popular but to me they're the most worthy and this one was a perfect example of it. 17:24 on the nature of emotion in cinema and then a dissection on three extremely laudable examples in a way that's not pretentious but in of itself affecting? If only this was how everyone else did lists I'd feel very different about listicles and the like.

[@cleansocks75]

The scene of children of men absolutely wrecks me every time, it is SO well done. Probably the scene that gets me the most emotional out of any movies

[@laurarodriguez119]

I cried for Brooks - never seen the movie. I shrieked desperately for someone to help Solomon - I've already seen the movie. I cried of overwhelm with the Hope scene - I forgot how this movie ends. Even if I have or haven't seen these, your explanations of these scenes finally allow me to tap in (very viscerally) to the intention behind what's going on, in a way I didn't originally or wouldn't have otherwise. If these directors are brilliant, you @cinefix are equally so for opening up a new world of understanding and appreciating for cinema with your channel. Thank you so much!

It's even more impactful in context, as the movie consistently denies hope and makes characters' discussions of hope and the success of their quest seem ever more impossible.

So very happy that you guys rate Children Of Men so highly. I recommend it to everybody I talk films with. Most of the time they've seen it and we end up talking about everything that makes it work. Also, I very much recommend checking out an Australian film called The Proposition (starring Guy Pearce). Has a lot of visual emotion to chew on. Much of it gritty and barbaric, while also having beautiful moments of peace with the outback sunset to accommodate them.

[@kris242]

Incredible! Absolutely incredible... I want to suggest a topic. A best onscreen countdown of characters in a heated argument or debate. I'm not sure how to get across my meaning clearly enough. Any kind of heated dialogue with high stakes, like a fight scene with dialogue, wit, quips, body language, positioning, beady eyes, spit and of course forehead veins!Instead of Fist and explosions.

[@eragonsap5346]

I thought the same but now that I've finished the video I realize it is good they're left out: Halfway through the video I looked for the names of the movies in the description to see if it was worth watching till the end. If I had known 12 Years a Slave would be the next I would have probably skipped the video. But no description, meaning out of plain curiosity I just had to sit through it. That and an incredible analysis of course.

[@RTSOB1]

In "Saving Pvt Ryan", one heart-wrenching scene is etched into my mind: The scene of Ryan's mother busy in her kitchen, a steady camera shot that takes in the whole kitchen and, through the windows, the dusty road that turns toward the home. We see an Army vehicle approaching with what we know to be bad news, followed closely by a second vehicle. She steps out onto the porch and, as she realizes the significance, her knees buckle and she collapses to the floor. It's a scene that is emotionally difficult for me to describe, harder still to watch again.

You people do such good work: thank you for being so intelligent and thoughtful. Obviously you cherish the depth of communication that cinema (and all it's component parts) can impact a person above and below their consciousness; what I love is that by explaining it in visual and verbal detail you clearly implicitly believe that ALL OF US can empathically feel or intellectually understand the intent of art and craft and a creative expression of humanity's experience. You get it. You are great, whoever you are. I well up with tears most times I watch your videos because of the frisson, because of the overwhelming and sudden comprehension (or rather momentary comprehension) of beauty which your videos impart to me. It's only a moment or two, but I shiver and tear up, and I know you are communicating a truth near-beyond comprehension. Like a flicker of starlight seen from my unguarded periphery.

[@jimslav6973]

Hope in the world of Children of Men moment of my absolute favorites. The idea: "What is menacing?" in the parlor scene in Psycho. The juxtaposition of Danny's "innocent playing" in The Shining to the "bad playing" of the ball that rolls in from nowhere. David Bowman's POV shot as he investigates the alien rooms at the end of 2001 where his spacesuit breathing tells us he is there... but then his breathing stops and the POV continues!! Who is watching?! YOU ARE WATCHING! Perfect existential nightmare. Daniel Day Lewis' maniacal laugh at the human condition as he talks to his brother in There Will Be Blood could be the cruel opposite of the ending shot here of Children of Men.

[@realgamergirl4638]

Please make more of these videos. There are not enough channels that could teach the art of filmmaking as well as you guys do. Btw If there are a few more channels, could somebody point me to them, these types of channels are usually buried under a mountain of sensationalist channels that just talk about current blockbuster movies without any meaningful or deep analysis outside of easter eggs and trivias, that then are masks by clickbait titles and thumbnails that pretend that they do.

In "Crash", the scene with Michael Pena screaming out in silence when his daughter is shot (or not shot) is one of the best emotional scenes put on film. To me, it puts you in someone's shoes who is experiencing the most painful thing to happen that a parent could go through. Truly moving.

Incredible! Absolutely incredible... I want to suggest a topic. A best onscreen countdown of characters in a heated argument or debate. I'm not sure how to get across my meaning clearly enough. Any kind of heated dialogue with high stakes, like a fight scene with dialogue, wit, quips, body language, positioning, beady eyes, spit and of course forehead veins! SLC Punk, A Few Good Men, Vanilla Sky... These come to mind. Anyway, love your content. Film Archeologists because your always digging shit up.

[@thefilmandmusic]

Split screen, I love the opening of original Thomas Crown.. introduces character and plot and tension.. Good job Cinefix, love it

[@Kattytatty02]

"Top 10 best movies scores" would be interesting.

[@Gunners_Mate_Guns]

The Brooks Hatlen sequence will forever be one of the most devastating of them all. Great choice there from CineFix.

[@HautNick]

I had tears in my eyes before they even got to the countdown. What is going on with me? Was that a clip of The Room?

[@Alex00789]

HautNick Yes from 7:42 till 7:43 it was a clip from The Room.

[@HautNick]

Nice!!!

[@dozeregg]

I love these film school episodes. I'm not really art literate, and they show me the depth of the craft. Fantastic work, keep it up.

[@MrFernando182100]

[@NazarenaOlano]

Fernando Matehuala *sees it's a movie list made by CineFix *likes video

[@josemariomadrid4186]

Same.

[@FreakieFan]

The Shawshank scene you showed, made me cry. From just watching that clip. Powerful stuff

[@patrick2318]

you guys sure love hanging scenes.

[@Zagardal]

if done right, they are effective as hell

[@LiquidMythril]

oxygen, the ultimate equaliser. immediately relatable

[@seaotter617]

I cant help but feel something every time I see Tony Leung Chiu-Wai's character Broken Sword hopelessly and helplessly watch as Flying Snow sacrifices herself for him, smiling before riding off through the blue desert to face Nameless in Zhang Yimou's Hero. One of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen thanks to Clint and the guys at Cinefix. Keep it up!!

[@maryati6088]

Cinefix videos has a very high quality contents. I assume they have PhD or historian in movies?

[@HapeeMoonlight]

Woah, I kiss your feet CineFix. This video was incredibly powerful, and although you had already gotten my subscription with previous videos, this one just won me over forever.

[@TheyCallMeConor]

if you haven't seen shawshank redemption by now, shame on you, it deserves to be spoiled

[@bipolarprobe]

God no it doesn't. It deserves to be watched in its entirety.

[@sutech]

What an arrogant thing to say. Not everyone has a head start or time to catch up all the "must see" films in the catalog, nor might have an access to such films. Lets say a teenager just discovered this channel, discovered that there are films with greater depth and emotion than Transformers or Jackass. And you want to rob him of the wonder, discovery, excitement and shock by spoiling this before he even has a chance to watch all the wonderful movies there are? Shame on you. No one deserves a spoiler on any story. be it a movie, game, book or a simple joke. Nowadays it's really hard for kids to be genuinely surprised by a plot twist like Darth Vader in Star Wars, because of how fast the word gets around thanks to internet. The person that did not yet experience has limited options. Either avoid internet (and miss out on entirely different things, like this channel), or come to terms that someone will spoil his experience. The least we can do for them, or each other is the courtesy to warn them beforehand that we are going to discuss a material that can spoil the experience. Then it is their choice to either ignore the discussion for the time being (and get back to it after he/she experience the story), or participate anyway, fully informed that he/she will be robbed of potential surprise.

[@mr.stoneface7699]

bipolarprobe But let's be honest, there are so, soooo many moments that spoiling a couple won't mean much overall.

[@bipolarprobe]

Ian Hughes just. just don't be a dick about spoilers man. Spoiling things sucks for the person being spoiled and gives nothing to the person spoiling it. Especially in the case of powerful and timeless stories like Shawshank redemption

[@MH-jc3uj]

sutech Very nicely and eloquently put; you described exactly how I feel about this. Thank you.

[@rannoushmissfrance]

The narration for this video is simply just satisfying! Bravo!

[@mydogsnameislucy768]

Holy shit Children of Men looks amazing. Have to see it.

[@YuniorGamboa]

Wow, I didn't know this channel even existed until now. You guys totally deserve more views and praise

[@DodderingOldMan]

Ha, when that 12 Years a Slave scene was playing I thought, 'Wow, that pigeon cooing softly is incredibly effective.' Then I realised the pigeon was outside my window. Amusing. Well, no. But interesting? Okay, not that either. Whatever. Anyway, this channel is frinking awesome. I say that on most of your videos, but dammit you're just so good at what you do.

[@eachday9538]

Buffoon1980 I can imagine how that would have added to it. Relaxed lazy bird song juxtaposed with the desperate strangling, slipping sounds.

[@daneoman1000]

CineFix is the BEST film channel on youtube! Keep up the great work!!

[@galaga2x808]

Everytime i watch shawshank redemption i cry at brooks Its such a well acted and well written scenes that it just overflows me with emotion Sometimes i have trouble deciding my favorite movie but then i remember how intense this movie makes me feel at various point and how amazing it is

[@FrancescoTakesItEasy]

Just like two weeks ago, the ceasefire from Children of Men had me in tears and sobbing all over again. I definitely need to rewatch that movie. Thank you, Cinefix! I started watching movie lists on watchmojo but you guys do it so much better. Btw, please make more "XX Reasons You Need to Watch Movie Title (or else)" videos!

[@funckyjunky]

Best cinefix episode ever ! How ever I wander, why didnt you give some attention about the ending of the children of man clip.

[@derrickwatson4597]

funckyjunky yep, the 2 seconds later was when it got real, no happy endings

[@DonaldSimsProduction]

It is so nice to hear an intelligent thesis. Your points are well thought out and presented.

[@nicocandela1370]

What's wrong with your voice? Seems a bit off

[@nicocandela1370]

Also, LOVE these vids, each time I watch a new one I learn so much about film and how to tell a story. Keep up the amazing work!

[@darkalter2000]

Agreed. Some kind of recording problem.

[@AiggEbe]

Nico Candela He's sick I think

[@frylxvii5674]

Nico Candela I think he changed it for the more emotional video.

[@Jillbles]

Either different recording equipment, or he's ill. I'm leaning towards ill, though. Great video - get well soon!
