How Steven Spielberg Reimagined Ready Player One

[@alejoqc9540]

Came here from your "One Marvellous Scene" video and, after methodically confirming that you're not a one-hit wonder, you gained a new sub.

Thank you so much! This is actually one of my favorite vids I've ever done, too, aside from my War of the Worlds one. Nice to see this getting some love!

[@brendan9833]

Oh my... I'll never be able to watch this film the same way again. This literally made me cry. Well done.

[@JuanPaulFilms1138]

Loved it! Due another book to screen video essay. Very Creative to show pages of the book!

[@lordinquisitordunn336]

This is some good in depth analysis in an otherwise surface level movie! Well done!

[@francoferrin8162]

I come here for your comment in 372 pages, but I wasn't expecting to end crying a bit, good work man

This video is amazing! Much like your video "One Marvelous Scene:..." You have a wonderful way of looking at things. Love your work! Please, keep them coming!

As someone who is a fan of RPO, and of the pop culture I grew up with, this is certainly a well-done analysis of the RPO film adaptation and its significance. I would like to say you are certainly a Gunter on a high level of understanding the changes made to the story. And you are certainly worthy of that title. Thank you very much for this video. :)

Daniel, this is probably one of the best comments I've ever gotten! I actually teared up a little. Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart, for the kind words! It really made my day.

@@joshboy64 You're very much welcome, sir. :D

2:27 awesome! : this should be your ‘thing’ it’s the first one of thousands of video essays that I’ve watched where the wall was broken and we’re sucked into the video and feel part of it, rather than like I’m at a lecture.

Excellent work, Josh!

[@tuchi2001]

Great video guys was worth the watch

[@felixzalty]

such a good analysis, such a good video! I'm super impressed. A shout out to your work from Germany

[@joshboy64]

Thank you so much! Here's some love to you in Germany from me in El Paso! Take care, and stay safe!

@@joshboy64 I love the concept of taking the structure of the book and that of the film to compare them, while trying to formulate hypotheses about why it is so. Doing so you are paying a dutiful tribute to both the format of book storytelling and that of movie storytelling. Also your work on retracing Steven Spielberg's previous works and give your audience an idea about how iconic he is and how he adapted books before is very neat.

Great video, nice content, editing and a great voice for the voice over. 👍

[@justinkunkel9014]

Another great video. Thank you for your insights.

[@galliettreviews2154]

Fantastic video!!

[@cvoghel]

Great content man! Subbed. Very thoughtful analysis.

@19:40 The iron giant goes on a rampage near the climax of the movie where he changes into his "fighting form" with laser cannons and stuff. The real tragedy is that in ready player one they didn't use the transformed iron giant for the fight which amounts to the severe crime of not sufficiently appreciating the source material.

[@joshboy64]

That's actually a real interesting critique. Honestly, that would've been perfect attention to detail.

[@alejoqc9540]

In Ready Player One, the Giant is just a replica, so for me it could have a jacuzzi mode if they like.
