Daft Punk's Electroma - TheHappySpaceman Reviews

[@THSReviews]

This film hits differently now... R.I.P. Daft Punk, 1993-2021.

[@TribePunk]

the human masks in the movie are carricitures of guy and Thomas

[@THSReviews]

Huh. If that were the case, I would have figured that Guy-Man's mask would have longer hair. :P

[@yuritarded8870]

TribePunk yeah no it’s not, I’ve heard that before but it’s false

[@SnowColdGarage]

If you're watching the KZbin 1 hour and 12 minute version of electroma at 1:46 start the entire full Human After All album and it is a completely different movie and let it repeat the album when it finishes

[@jeanmichellelaurent]

Despite how long it feels for people, this is actually pretty short for a movie clocking in at only 72 minutes

[@randomaccount2463]

I want you to make a full version with your voices.

[@THSReviews]

Hmm, that might be fun actually. :3 (No idea where I'd post it, though.)

@@THSReviews can you do that

[@roulewave]

every time I see the scene with their human masks, I can't help but laugh because of the music. It's such an awkward scene to me, and what makes it funny IS THE FACT THE MASKS HAVE NO EYEBROWS. And the music makes it seem like they think they're some hot stuff.

[@WARCHIVE319]

Holy crap I was trying to find some analogy’s for the movie and did not expect to stumble across this gem, I grew up with the nostalgia critic and the Avgn and man you give me heavy vibes from both of them, it shocks me that your channel has not picked off at all, anyways you earned your self a new sub

[@THSReviews]

Thanks a ton for watching! Yeah, I was heavily inspired at the time by the Nostalgia Critic, the Cinema Snob, and JonTron. I've since tried to develop my own unique style of reviewing more. Glad you liked the review!

[@Gradedd]

You deserve way more subs

[@THSReviews]

Aww, thanks! :) I plan to review the final installment in the Daft Punk movie trilogy, _Tron: Legacy_, at some point as well.

[@Gradedd]

Nice but what about D.A.F.T.

[@THSReviews]

Interesting suggestion, though that's less of a movie and more of a collection of their music videos from the Homework era.

[@mitchellhollow8990]

I love how you added voices to them xD

[@taipeijoey101]

I don't really like how people act so surprised to see Daft Punk unmasked. They've been unmasked multiple times, and they never wore the hemets until Discovery. It's not really a surprise

[@THSReviews]

I think the worst part about the _TMZ_ video is that they went on to make fun of how the guys in Daft Punk looked without their masks.

[@confusedcossack2885]

I really want one of those helmets too but I think the reason that there is a scarcity of them is that, if everyone had a Daft punk helmet, it would be very difficult to distinguish between fans and the actually Robots. And considering that Daft Punk wants to remain unseen then finding the real them would be even more harder to find them.

[@confusedcossack2885]

Three years later and this comment makes no sense but thanks.

[@GingerFilms892]

13:42 No you don’t have to censor this. That’s actually a shrub in the desert. In a dark atmosphere ( i dont wanna get banned)

[@CinemageddonReviews]

So... is anyone else coming back here after hearing that Daft Punk are splitting up or is it just me?

[@THSReviews]

Yeahhhh... After seeing the announcement video, this film hits differently. I'm still trying to process that they're gone. :'(

[@rct3isepic]

i'll sign the petition if its real!

[@THSReviews]

I haven't created one yet, but I'll let you know if I do!

[@yuritarded8870]

TheHappySpaceman Reviews you didn’t let us know

[@DTorto]

@@THSReviews you made it yet buddy?

[@rct3isepic]

Funny, I said screw it and saved up for a really nice Guy-Man Helmet last year.

[@natathevoiceguy]

You know if you go on Amazon or Ebay you can actually get a helmet for about $120. They are made by a company made Xcoser. I have both helmets. the Thomas one is kinda hard to see out of due to it have awesome LED lights inside of it.

[@THSReviews]

Cool! Back when I made this, the only ones I could find were 1,000+ dollars, so I'm glad to hear that they've gone down in price.

[@natathevoiceguy]

TheHappySpaceman Reviews would you like me to send some links to the helmets?

[@natathevoiceguy]

CONGRATS ON GETTING 100 SUBS, (YOU REALLY SHOULD BE BIGGER THAN U ARE, SO KEEP IT UP :). PS. Whats your opinion on Green Day? I think American Idiot (The Album) is bloody brilliant and that Nirvana Nevermind has met his match

[@THSReviews]

Wow, cool! I have 100 subs! (Well, on this account at least. My main account, TheHappySpaceman, has over 300.) Still, that's pretty cool! I bet I'll get even more once I finish and upload my _Frozen_ review this month. I think _American Idiot_ is a great album, but I'm not the most keen on the group themselves. I don't know; my parents kind of raised me with a limited amount of rock music (mostly stuff from the '70s), so I have a lot to catch up on when it comes to the rock of the '80s, '90s and 2000s. Thanks for the comment!

[@rct3isepic]

I'd love to see you cover the only other film the duo soundtracked, TRON Legacy. Though I know you usually cover more music forward films and content over just regular cinema

[@THSReviews]

I actually scripted and filmed a review of _Tron: Legacy_ back in 2017 with my buddy QuilSniv, who I'd reviewed _Frozen_ with! But my computer crashed and I didn't wind up retrieving the footage. I still plan on reviewing it in the future though.

[@tizbiz3974]

That face in the thumbnail is my reaction completely

[@lucky.mp4924]

Theres also d.a.f.t which was with homework

[@AtrocityEquine01]

Uuuuuuh HSP, I don't think Daft Punk would sell helmets because of HOW EXPENSIVE THEY'D MAKE THEM. Plus ya know..the material needed to make those helmets, especially if they light up.

[@THSReviews]

+AtrocityEquine Pfft, yeah, I know. My frustration in this video was actually based on my real-life frustration in 2014 when I couldn't find any Daft Punk helmets--I wasn't even thinking anything huge, just cheap plastic ones like the Darth Vader helmets one would buy at a Toys 'R' Us--and it was right before Halloween. I wound up going as Neo from _The Matrix_, same as the year before. The year after that, I went as Edward Scissorhands. I'm not sure what I'll go as this Halloween, though. I was half considering dressing as the titular character from _Phantom of the Paradise_, my favorite musical movie, but I can't find a good helmet for that either. Anyway, did you like the review?

[@AtrocityEquine01]

+TheHappySpaceman Reviews Well give or take what you can. I did :3. I basically began to die of laughter when the face reveal occurred. your face sells it XD.

[@THSReviews]

AtrocityEquine True. I guess as much as _I_ may love _Phantom of the Paradise_, there aren't many other people who do, so there are probably fewer people who can make masks for it. Yeah, when I saw those faces when I was first watching it, I immediately thought, "_Someone_ has been watching _The Garbage Pail Kids Movie_ recently." XD And thanks! I was a little concerned I overreacted to it. ^^; My personal favorite part to make in this review was the dubbing of Daft Punk themselves. I had had so much fun with that in my _Interstella 5555_ review that I figured I'd do it again here. :D

[@AtrocityEquine01]

TheHappySpaceman Reviews And welp XD. XD Basically, All I can think was "are those caricatures of Thomas and Guy?!". And nah, It's understandable the film isn't in your type of tastes, it really does feel like an art house film. XD Those were the best, especially the one where Thomas wanted a McDonalds.

[@THSReviews]

AtrocityEquine Now that I think of it, yeah, I can see that. I haven't seen many pictures of the two guys unmasked, but what I have seen does look a little like this in the same way that Phil Collins looks like his puppet version in the "Land of Confusion" music video. I'm not a huge fan of art films, anyway, though I do like Stanley Kubrick. The difference is that in his films, we still got to know the characters better and the plots were still great. Actually, Guy-Man was the one who wanted McDonald's. XD Guy-Man is the one with the higher voice than Thomas. There were also some scenes that I was planning on animating of everyday life in the robot world, but I was too lazy and decided not to do so. I might include the WIP versions of those scenes in a deleted scene reel, though.

[@JMNTN]

If they would officially sell them it wouldn't be special anymore to own one

[@THSReviews]

Fair enough. I was just a little pissed in 2015 that I didn't have anyone to dress as for Halloween. (I wound up going as Edward Scissorhands.)

[@Chaogardenx]

This was a pretty interesting one, with amazing atmosphere and production design. And apparently you never heard of montage or intercuts? of course you can cut to whatever you want, that´s cinema, you create meaning by cutting to other things, and as you said it is overshadowing

[@CinemageddonPlays]

Electroma is a perfect example of what happens when you try to be Kubrick but end up being Gus Van Sant instead.

[@THSReviews]

This is a perfect description, thank you. (And this is coming from someone who _likes_ a few of Van Sant's movies.)

[@CaptainNnif]

Yo, did you hear ZippCast is shutting down?!

[@THSReviews]

I did, yeah. And that's really going to suck. :( I mean, I haven't been using it much to upload my backlog ever since I upgraded my Vimeo account, but still.

[@CaptainNnif]

+TheHappySpaceman Reviews oddly enough, ZippCast is still up but the forum was removed. (This was another great video by the way)

[@THSReviews]

CaptainNnif Hmm, that's strange. Well, maybe they're planning on taking down the site itself in a few days. And thanks! I'm planning on reviewing _Frozen_ next, followed by _Labyrinth_. Any movies you'd like to see me review?

[@CaptainNnif]

+TheHappySpaceman Reviews I'm still waiting for a review of Xanadu (The rock musical with ELO as half the soundtrack) ;p

[@THSReviews]

CaptainNnif Hah, well, I might just get to that. I don't know if I have anything to say that the Cinema Snob and Musical Hell didn't already cover in their respective reviews, though. XD

[@daft_punker]

The actual movie does NOT have a soundtrack.

[@THSReviews]

Doesn't it, though? Not exactly a soundtrack, but it has songs playing throughout.

[@jakobkolczak2551]

I actually get really upset about the way he speaks of this movie. The movie represents two robots, in a robot world who are trying to be diffrent and have their own personality, but they are not allowed by the other robots. It is a movie about them selfs, its just a reversed world, because Daft Punk as a duo (outside the movie) just want to be the two robots, but they cant because the whole world / the media / the fans wants to see who is behind the masks. Sorry to run this down, but you cant call yourself a Daft Punk fan if you dont agree with the plot of the movie. We do know who they are now in 2021, but back then we did not.

[@THSReviews]

"you cant call yourself a Daft Punk fan if you dont agree with the plot of the movie" Uhm... yes. Yes I can. You aren't obligated to love everything an artist puts out to call yourself a fan of them. Some of my favorite artists have put out stinkers. That doesn't mean that I love them any less, or that I cannot call myself a fan of them because I didn't like those songs. And also, it's not that I mind the plot of the movie, but the execution makes watching the entire film far too slowly paced for me to want to sit through. I understand that all of us are upset that Daft Punk has called it quits, but that's no reason to gatekeep who can or can't call themselves fans.

[@jakobkolczak2551]

@@THSReviews But dont you see my point? the fact that your just throwing the movie under a bus (As a review) which many people are gonna watch, is just stupid. The movie has a deeper meaning and i m just saying that, if you want to promote this movie as bad and pointless as you do, you could at least, just for the new people who came to watch your "review" and wanted to learn something about a duo they love, just quickly point out the plot of the film in the end. It s a very narrow perspective to distribute, and when i m saying you cant call yourself a fan, i m meaning it by, as a fan of something or someone, and in your case as a critic, just be careful, because someone who has never seen the movie and might find the story interesting, are never going to give it a chance after watching your video. When you are a fan you are part of a community in which people like you are responsible for posting both sides of the movie, because the movie is long and not the best. but it has a deeper meaning!

[@jakobkolczak2551]

Sorry this was intended to be me headbutting you, but i just could not hold myself back.

[@THSReviews]

"your just throwing the movie under a bus (As a review) which many people are gonna watch" Isn't that ultimately the point of a review, though? For the reviewer to give their opinion on whether or not they thought the film was good and would recommend it to others? No, I did not give the film a positive review because I thought it was way too poorly paced to sit through. And as for "posting both sides of the movie," I commented repeatedly in my review about some of the good parts of the film, like the cinematography, use of light and shadow and mise-en-scene, and acting, and I said that the fan edits with alternate music and truncated to fit the original song worked a lot better. But ultimately, I did not give the film a positive review and I _cannot_ in good faith give it a positive review because in my mind, the film's flaws outweigh the good parts. Would it not, therefore, be disingenuous of me to recommend this movie to others if I did not like it myself?

[@jakobkolczak2551]

@@THSReviews you can do and say what ever you want about the movie but you can’t call it a review vid you don’t tell the plot of the movie! You can’t call it a review or rate it to an audience without mentioning the story and the plot.
