You all seem to be missing the point. Dan wasn't saying that BvS was the biggest superhero movie there ever would be, or the most popular. He was talking about cultural impact. I'm not actually sure what he meant by it, but the existence of big convoluted films like Infinity War, Endgame or Justice League do not intrinsically make them more "culturally relevant" than BvS. Again, I don't really understand what Dan meant, but it definitely seems to have some level of complexity that cannot just be undermined by "here are some even bigger, more expensive films".

As a Dane, I feel the need to say something: At 8:07 you say "Men and Chicken starred Mads Mikkelsen, because without the brand power of a named actor, the film would have never been made". This statement only works on an internatonal stage, not on a Danish one. In Denmark, that was one of the great movies of the year it came out. All of the cast of the movie are extremely poplular in Denmark. It is not a niche movie in Denmark. It is a tripple-A movie in Denmark. Just food for thought.

I'd just like to take this opportunity to let you know that your work really does affect people. The video that really made an impact on me specifically was the one about fight club and toxic masculinity. Fight club perfectly symbolizes a struggle I've been having for some time now, namely the fact that, at least to my mind, I don't fit in society's, and maybe more importantly my own perception which stems from this societal definition, of a "man". This has led me to doubt my place in my personal relationships with friends, women and my self-image. I was aware of this fact for some time, but I was never able to really define the issue clearly, which is why I've been having a hard time dealing with it. The way you explained the themes of the movie really helped me to get a clear picture of the issue, and the way you explained the symbolism at the end of the movie really helped me to deal with it. Since watching the video I've been feeling a lot more comfortable with myself and with my interactions with the people around me, even though the toxic masculine image of a man is still (and perhaps always will be) the predominant one. For this I'd like to offer you my sincerest gratitude. And also to the Chuck Palahniuk and the makers of the movie, but I highly doubt they'll ever read this comment. :P I've been doing my best to share the video with as many people I can, because I think it is a large and perhaps a somewhat underestimated issue young men are facing. Keep up the great work buddy!

That was really good. Reminded me of a simple explanation for why, for example, No Man's Sky received so much negative press and consumer attention than other games which under-deliver on their promises. But at the same time, art being always stuck in its context is a pretty sad notion. Nothing is truly universal or transcendent. After some time, time leaves the work behind and its dating become inevitable. Oh well, I guess I can still hope that that forward movement is in the direction of something better, whatever that means.

I was trying to figure out where this was going, and that last line blew my mind. It's not something we think about or talk about a lot in our normal day to day. If someone asks you "Was *that* movie good?", and you say "Yes", they accept that at face value. They don't respond with, "Well is that because you were predisposed to like that movie because you follow the franchise, or out of a need to feel like you didn't just waste money on a ticket?" No one asks you about your preconceived notions going into a movie, often I'll like a movie if it can surprise me. The biggest sin a movie can commit for me, (and maybe just me) is to be predictable. This was a well phrased piece that has me examining my own preferences, bias, and as you so excellently put it: context.

Elsewhere, communication tends to be a can't-have-it-all scenario in which complexity and speed never meet. But here, as the extense of your vocabulary guarantees its understanding, you also never bother to stop to let the thoughts sink in. The lack of breaks is delightful if the viewer doesn't need them. And this is something I have found throughout your entries as I binge through them. Congrats, good sir.

8:08 - Old video at this point, but, as a Danish fella, this bit stuck out to me. The point that Men & Chickens wouldn't have been made without Mads Mikkelsen being popular isn't really true. First, pretty much every actor in that movie is a well-known actor here. Second, movies like Men and Chicken are kind of common in Denmark. And the director, Anders Thomas Jensen, has made similarly grotesque comedies since at least 2000 (Adam's Apples, the Green Butchers, Blinking Lights, all of which were pretty popular here, and they all star Mads Mikkelsen). Examples of other similar movies by other directors are Terkel in Trouble (a children's movie) and In China They Eat Dogs.

The way you described your self-analysis and how your own context affects your way of thinking when you're on an assignment really got to me; I suddenly felt as if I understood exactly how you were feeling even though I have no frame of reference except my own experiences as a writer. There were a few points in the video where the script felt a little dry, but on further thought I started to think that it was possibly intentional. Not to be dry, but to present your thoughts in a more formal manner. It brings across your ideas about context even better. Thanks so much for sharing this, I was deciding whether to subscribe and this is the video that cinched it! I'm really looking forward to perusing your work. Cheers!

Now, I know it's only a detail, but you use this detail to prove your point. Mads Mikkelsen has been an A-list actor in Denmark decades before he broke through in Hollywood. Danish produced films are weird regardless of the lead actor - so I'm fairly sure "Men and Chicken"/"Mænd og høns" would've been made even without him or his (now) international fame. (Plus the film is starring a lot of well-known Danish actors, without international fame). A little fyi :) I really liked this video though. However, it was hard to hear you sometimes due to the music being too loud and frankly a bit obnoxious, when you were talking about quite philosophical things.

I think you're making a lot of great points, through your personal discoveries (my favorite form of story telling). I think, if you come at it from the assumption that making money or a successful film makes that film no longer art, then this conflict will always arise. Money is a physical expression of what each individual values. While it isn't the only expression, it is the most universally transferable one. Every artist hopes their work will be appreciated and valued, so why would you feel guilty about hoping for a large audience to express that value. The frustration comes in, when you realize a large majority of the population doesn't appreciate or value highly artistic pieces. Part of this is because they are intended for a niche, smaller groups of people value content that is focusing specifically toward them. It can create a more dedicated audience (one that is willing to spend money to see your film at a convention) but maybe a smaller one. I think you're asking, in part, if one should compromise their artistic choices for the sake of hitting a larger audience, along with wishing that a larger audience valued your particular niche. Cons allow the opportunity to get your content to a larger audience, with you being confident that, once the larger audience has seen your work, they will then value it. This confidence or even hope is not the same. Selling and promoting a piece you really believe in is not the same thing as compromising something you really believe in, in order to sell. BUT, there is never a guarantee that your niche content will EVER be appealing or valued beyond that audience, even with a large marketing campaign.

Interesting reminder of how much the audience brings with them to the film. I'm not always as interested in the subjects you discuss, but i like to hear you unfold your ideas.

If I can say nothing else about this guy- he speaks rather professionally, officially, as if he's only trying to state objective facts with either his personal bias as far removed as is humanly possible or at the very least acknowledged that it is/ may be present. I respect that, while others may be turned off to his monotone speaking. The things he says, his mannerisms and the way I think he intends them to be received, don't need if not would actually be made worse by multi-tonal speaking. He even speaks of some script ideas he scrapped because they didn't meet up to his own standards and the perceived standards of his audience- as if he's actively trying to avoid being unprofessional. I like that. Other Cinema KZbinrs tend to be reviewers, expressing vitriol at bad movies. This guy may express disdain in passing, but otherwise doesn't really express hatred for bad movies the way someone like the Nostalgia Critic and his copycats would. This is only the 2nd video I've seen of his, so I don't want to speak prematurely, but I think I may have a new subsciption on my hands.

Epistemology 101: your experience of a thing is fundamentally subjective and can wildly alter its impact upon you. But it does NOT alter the thing.

Man, this is such a uniquely intelligent video. Context doesn’t really get a ton of good expression on the internet, it’s usually felt more than heard. This script was great, but dense:)

I had to double take when you started talking about Men and Chicken because I remember watching it a few years back. Need me a blu ray.

I'm pretty new to your channel but I would just like to say that your work is deeply appreciated. I know that channels like this are bound to be attacked by GAMERGATERZ or whatever they call themselves, but this content is so important and necessary in a culture like this. Don't stop until you're satisfied.

Mads has been in all of that directors films though, I think he may be something closer to a muse.

I disagree with other comments complaining about the variation in volume of the music. I thought it was a good choice, and drew attention to what may be considered the climactic points of the video.
