@thetake side question- What did the Take's old name used to be? Like, you know how it was Two Guys A Girl And A Pizza Place and then it became Two Guys and a Girl... What was The Take's TGAGAAPP name? It's been really bugging me that I can't conjure it.

[@elsehiszem8]

@@SurgeryIsWoke It was ScreenPrism

Jim Carrey should really star in more dramas, he's fantastic in them. I wish that they'd kept the deleted scene of Mary discovering her tape, as it adds more agency to her character, and is brilliantly acted by Kirsten Dunst.

[@trinaq]

I really love how Clementine's hair acts as a clock for her and Joel's relationship, and corresponds with a season of the year. The wigs were so convincing, that I didn't realise that they weren't Kate's actual hair until years later!

[@AlexandreSaintMartin]

They were wigs???

[@stephaniemoura3214]

Wait, what? Clem's hair was a wig!?

[@danielamorham]

Yeah she said it in an interview once

[@ambergonzales4455]

This movie has such a huge place in my heart and this analysis was fantastic. I was thinking about the end of it just the other day and I thought, "isn't that what a relationship is? Knowing your own and each other's flaws and wanting to make it work anyway? Saying, okay, we try again and we try to be better to each other."

[@theorderofthebees7308]

That’s the goal .

[@xtieburn]

The moment they are meeting as the books around them go white is burnt in to my mind. The visuals like that are often simple but almost always powerful.

[@15fvp]

This movie lives in my heart. It really is a special capsule that I think perfectly captures such a complex thing about the human condition: love.

[@dplunk13]

While watching it for the first time I was increasingly scared they would mess up the ending. I thought it could go too cliché with a neatly wrapped up love story where all is perfect in the end. But like everything else in the movie they nail the ending, making it slightly melancholy but beautiful and hopeful without going too sentimental or overly optimistic.

[@christinem894]

That's a great take of the film.

[@josefk7437]

This movie plot reminds me of a lot of karmic punishments, such as Sisyphus being forced to push a rock up a hill and it rolls back down forever. On The Twilight Zone, Captain Karl Lanzer is forced to repeat the sinking of a ship over and over again forever. On this movie, Joel and Clementine are condemned to get together, break up and forget each other, and get together again forever in a similar type of eternal hell-like punishment.

[@The-WandererOne]

As an introvert this movie means a lot to me I can put this movie in my dreamcore liminal space list and my number 1 of all this movie impacted me so much in my heart…

[@jenhasken]

I adore this movie. So glad it’s still being talked about. It’s so special.

[@angelaholmes8888]

Jim and kate did a great job in the film they have excellent chemistry together 😊

[@josefk7437]

This movie was very original in its concept and premise. Jim Carrey demonstrated how great his acting range is and got out of his usual roles. Michel Gondry was mentioned in "Stuff White People Like" by Christian Lander. The characters were punished with an endless cycle of getting together, breaking up, and getting back together for all eternity as if they were getting an ironic punishment in hell.

[@nessiemour4750]

I watched this movie for the first time about a decade ago and it's still my favorite film today. It hits different now that I'm older with more experience. Can't wait to watch it again in another few years to experience it in another way.

[@squeekytoy123]

So happy to see you ladies returning to this content! Best luck with the subscriber series.

[@batgurrl]

This is my favorite movie of all time, even though I’m not a fan of romance movies in General. Meet Me In Montaulk. Thanks for the analysis. When Clem says to baby Joel, look at this dress, I wish I could rake it with me, I agreed.

[@K1ng1995]

I honestly think the reason is because we didn't expect something like this from Jim Carrey

[@2008ana]

One of my favorite movies of all times. Thanks so much for such a bright analysis!!!!!!

[@blufaerie]

I absolutely loved this deep dive of one of my favorite films!

We still appreciate your support! Thanks for being a fan :)

[@Jumpsuperfun]

Great video, i love this movie. And Charlie Kaufman's creative work as a whole too.😊

[@carriebarber7592]

accurately, and, ESPECIALLY the circumstances LEADING to the breakups, AND, what makes us love who we do, based on who we ultimately become, due to how we understood the unconscious, and our CONSCIOUS lessons learned from the adults in our childhood , as THEY handle relationships, if you follow.

[@TheInvisibleShadow95]

I love this kind of content from this channel! Makes me wish it wouldnt be behind a paywall, but I understand you all have bills to pay. Great work!

[@thetake]

Thank you for your awesome words about our content! We totally understand about the paywall. It’s a total conundrum for us too. We will also be posting videos free here too. Please keep watching and sharing! The more we spread the word, the more videos we can make!

[@clarinaketia8948]

OMG! I've waited for this for years! Great analysis

[@ArmandUnique]

This is my favorite love movie of all time the whole cast did a great job 💕💕💕💕

[@Thegangsta00711]

I’m shocked that this video was uploaded today cause I love this movie and the theme song started playing while my music was on shuffle, ironically this is the time of the year that reminds me of this movie. So I always wanna know if anyone feels the same way about this movie so I decided to search it up on KZbin, then I saw this video. I can’t wait to watch this I haven’t even started watching it I just thought it was a beautiful coincidence. Thanks!

[@pedrosalzedo8519]

Great movie and grest analysis! Keep doing more like these. Next requiem for a dream

[@arisolisB]

Best movie EVER 🎥💖✨

[@raphaelzakhm7310]

Love this movie! Thanks for the video!

[@khody.pyty.cha1]

😮 I’ve just had a thought that it’s time to rewatch the movie and came across this fresh video))) what a coincidence) love it

[@naveenmichaels]

Please release this series in youtube too.

[@Endeavour30]

I can't believe it's almost 20 years...

[@thisiskitta]

My favourite movie of all time 🥰 absolute masterpiece. I saw it when I was only a preteen and it resonated so deeply within me and stayed with me as I grew. I am so happy to see how this cult classic gets recognition today!

[@jkagkajsdftubes]

Yes please do more content like this!! I love the great analysis of our favorite movies. This videos mic aounds really muddled and has a weird sound. Still enjoyed it though ☺️

[@DanaJaneWriter]

A Masterpiece

[@craigdellapenna7103]

You should try "Last Year at Marienbad" for a really difficult analysis...Looking forward...

[@JonathanLit]

This is the best movie ever made.

[@moonshine3543]

This is my fave movie

[@jermainerucker2027]

I hope u do 500 days of summer next

[@veronicapalmadiaz7183]

Please do Anomalisa 🙏🙏

[@AutumnFS]

The audio on this video seems oddly muffled, like the low tones are turned up and the high tones turned down.

[@hollygeorge4688]

You should do Good Will Hunting next!!

[@tabathastaples7884]

Shepherd's Chapel Network !!!!!!! Stay Humble / It's Never Luck !!!!!!! Amen

[@mayln163]

I hope you upload more Total Take videos on KZbin. I don’t have the funds for patreon :(

[@MaricaAmbrosius]

Joel would have had his childhood trauma about the bird erased, so is he still as self-loathingly insecure?

[@StrifeSoul990]

The way I look at it is that memories make us who we are and our identity. By erasing their relationship, Joel and Clem destroyed their relationship and how it co8ld have turned out. The thing is, the bird was probably not rhe only thing that made Joel who he is.

[@cuteanimalseverywhere7620]

This movie is a great depiction of borderline personality disorder. Mental health trainees should watch!

[@chelseabray7565]

Just been diagnosed bpd makes so much sense why this moʻvie sticks with me

[@carriebarber7592]

Goos analysis, but, unless I missed something MYSELF, You missed a key element of what the movie was ABOUT, which is, do we REALLY remember our key relationships

[@seebothways9630]

By the year 2018 Manhattan will be under water according to official scientific consensus

[@greyLeicester]

The only movie I walked out of 🤯🥱

[@LeahIsHereNow]

How sad. I walked out of Air Force One… That movie definitely sucked, but it was all explosions and stunts and nothing cerebral.

[@greyLeicester]

​@@LeahIsHereNowI know!!! I really wanted to like it. Although in its defense, I was really young and immature back then and I watched it dubbed in a foreign language (my mother tongue). This analysis has made me want to watch it again in its original version. PS. I have never seen Air Force One

[@Thegangsta00711]

That’s crazy. I watched it for the first time in 2015 when I was 17 and I was so mind blown by the cinematography.

[@reecord2]

give it another shot, you might like it, the movie has aged very well
