KINDS OF KINDNESS Explained (Ending & Full Breakdown)

[@CortexVideos]

So Kinds Of Kindness was a pretty crazy film. The three stories connect thematically and there is a hidden meaning for the character of RMF. I breakdown the whole of Yorgos Lanthimos' latest film.

[@get_me_the_bonesaw3029]

How bout that score! The single piano notes and the huge choir... I loved it!

[@CortexVideos]

It really caught me off guard and I loved it for that!

[@jonathanvais1326]

Reminded me a LOT of the music in eyes wide shut

[@heelmoxley365]

I found Jesse Plemons hilarious in a few scenes. The look he gives his wife after she plays the wrong song is gold.😂

[@jojoeljefe]

truly, i was dumbfounded the entire movie but the nerve he had as the husband was hilariously insane.

[@rustyperry9414]

I found the scene where Plemons explains to Hong Chau that her husband and his wife are not who they appear to be hilarious. Her expression during this scene said it all.

[@asdasda926]

Just saw this an hour or so ago, 70% of the nowhere near sold out theater left by mid 3 story. I loved every second of it.

[@CortexVideos]

Thats a shame. Yeah we had barely anyone in our screening.

[@bobreynolds2515]

Certainly, overlapping themes reappear in all three stories. Relationships of subservience between employee and employer, husband and wife, and cult leader and follower show how power controls individuals in numerous ways, and how we WANT/NEED that control to define us. All the characters loss their sense of self and needed "the other" to realize them. A wonderfully sad fable of human nature in an authoritarian world. Bravo!!!

[@jeff2238]

Saw it on The Fourth Of July and I thought the insane sound design had random muted thud sounds throughout the movie just like the cat walking across a piano and the ominous moans and chants...Turns out it was fireworks continously going off outside. When I went to the parking lot there were the most fireworks that I have ever seen going off at once. Every single direction I looked there were HUGE explosions. It was very surreal and hilarious! The whole experience was fantastic.

[@metaphysicalmysteryreflected]

I find the RMF character to be the connecting tissue of the entire narrative... as in, the entire film is RMF's fever dream, or a "bardo", however, the film has no physical evidence to suggest this, as there is no independent scene with RMF, RMF is always interacting with the main players of each narrative and he doesn't speak at all, if I remember correctly. It's as if your seeing all this take place inside RMF, and he does find satisfaction by the end when in the post credit scene he eats a sandwich. The film does open with RMF driving listening to Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) by Eurythmics and ends with RMF awake, eating a sandwich...

[@halahalahala2015]

He was killed in the first part and resurrected in the third🤷🏻‍♀️

[@medou2161]

R.M.F is the audience, in my opinion

[@metaphysicalmysteryreflected]

@@halahalahala2015 You can say he is awaken from eternal sleep...the film does play with visual motifs of crashed cars, hospitals, hotels, self inflicting wounds (hesitation wounds?)...I feel this film has so many connections to the literary world of JG Ballard and the last three films of Luis Bunuel ("The discreet charm of the bourgeois", "The phantom of liberty" and "that obscure object of desire") the characters are not inhibited by their desires and act upon their ID, there is a certain atavism that makes this film very humanistic ...from personal experience, there are people who behave likes these characters...so its, kinda of funny, but also tragic, as the unawareness of their actions leads to their tragic existence, but in dark absurdist manner.

[@souda2276]

Yes! I can go deeper into this and ofc there are other things going on. but generally I saw the First story as the story where we see RMF’s Death, the second is this transitory fever dream of ,what I imagine, is the passing from this life to the afterlife/whTever. The 3rd story is us seeing that process being interrupted anyway and he’s resurrected/awakened

[@medou2161]

@@halahalahala2015 then...what do you make of his appearance in the second story?

[@The12thDimension.]

This whole film was such a vibe. Much like TENET, I feel that you don't need to fully understand it to fully enjoy it.

[@TheDrakGP]

Much like TENET ? What are you on bro

[@jaytexaz]

[@d_c_C]

I loved this movie. I feel like audiences have been coddled for far too long with simple narratives, cliches, happy endings, and tropes. If people are upset by the movie, THATS A GOOD THING! It shows that the film is doing something different and doing so for the sake of art, not just entertainment.

Such a good breakdown!! Thank you

[@420teamsupreme]

Thank you very much for your very informative breakdown of KOK. I’ve just watched it in the cinema and thought it was very good. I find it difficult to concentrate on films sometimes, but this one kept me gripped until the end and really forced me to think. Although the final segment did leave me scratching my head, your video has pieced together the final pieces of the puzzle. Bravo sir! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@TarasHolloman]

Excellent analysis

[@CortexVideos]

Thank you Taras

[@ThomasKirby-ub4vy]

First film= killing sacred deer vibes Second film = lobster vibes (how far will you go to prove to someone who abuses you and beats u up that u still love them) Third film =alps 2011 vibes (cult or group going around trying to find the next messiah who will raise people from the dead). This film is cornucopia of lanthimos films same as French dispatch for Wes Anderson. If French dispatch was Wes Anderson most Wes anderson-y… this is the same for YORGOS and if ur on Vibe with it it’s amazing if ur not….. sorry.

[@RylieDodd-q1x]

What about the beginning of the film where RMF gets his picture taken as proof that his shirt is not stained but it is stained at the end of the film when he eats a sandwich. Thoughts?

[@MrUmandMrEr]

He's kind of a weird guy, Yorgos. Some influence from David Lynch in here. Great performances. I love Emily's funny little face...The Dio song, Rainbow in the Dark, was a definite highlight...Listen to the first two Dio albums. They're fantastic. 🤘

[@pabloolfe1834]

Fantastic analysis

[@CortexVideos]

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you!

[@polinamitrofanova6288]

This film is definitely not a bad film. And I don’t mind understanding it. There more things I refuse understanding like the wars in the 21st century and the developed democratic enlightened world not having balls to stop that. However I fully buy in the explanation around needing abuse and harassment to be happy, well for some people. The film is the reflection of the world which has clearly gone mad recently. Well, I need to pause watching Yorgos’ films. There is enough madness around here on planet. And certainly, thank you very much for your review. It did help me and my husband mapping up things out to what we have seen…just got back home from the movies. BTW, in our small provincial town in the middle of the Netherlands no-one has left during the screening… it’s a university town, that’s why must be

[@lolwhat6161]

I love Yorgos and his way of storytelling and characters. It just shows how you can add bizarre concepts with original storyteling , like Ari Aster for example ❤

[@ethanholgate2512]

Great breakdown I loved this movie I found it very unique and interesting Yorgos Lanthimos is a director to keep an eye on I liked poor things more though

[@CortexVideos]

Glad you enjoyed it! I agree.

[@Paseosguiados]

Thank you

[@theb.e.m.pool77show]

This is a very good film once you dive into the themes behind it

[@meetoo2330]

Loved it

[@TheDrakGP]

My take on this is that the first story was intriguing and mysterious as it is still the moment we try to figure out what is going on and what movie we are watching, when the second story begins it’s like a fresh air with a more grounded story, character look more « human » it’s more simple but as the story unfold we get to see crazy stuff and it was actually fun with the ending leaving you in a humor type a feeling like « it’s a prank! » , if I would sit up and leave the theater at that time I would tell my buds man that was a fuckep up movie pretty interesting experience, but then the third story begins and to me it has really bad rythm, the excitement you get from the second story ending, dogs world credit etc to a slow pace story where you try to figure out again what’s going on and ultimately I found it so EMPTY I started to get bored and was questioning my presence in the theater, no rythme, constent change in what the movie tell us, over all WE GOT TROLLED OVER AND OVER during the last story, and to me the real thing that made me sick was the constent sex and blood imagery pushed on us when the story is not interesting, to end on a complete empty ending. VERY DISAPOINTING. Seriously with the two first story I had expcetations considering it’s a CULT story, so bad honestly. We got trolled boys.

[@meetoo2330]

Did anyone else pick up on the eating disorder themes throughout all three stories? To me they were very obvious. Weight gain and weight loss was mentioned several times throughout

[@thedavidjscott_]

Yes, a lot of talk of being hungry and no one ever eating

[@motulifelikefigures1987]

as much as i love some of his works this was torture. if a movie is so much into symbolic language you have to uncover and analize it becomes exhausting quite fast.

[@splumpy8469]

Can u explain that thing about the messiah killing herself in the empty pool and showing up in a dream, what was that about

[@jondoe5866]

No lie This have been my life for the last 10 years. Only I have like 100 more storties to ad.

[@_meta_data_9992]

Just watched. U think the whole idea of this movie is to feel confused after with no understanding where reality is, like after gaslighting or abusive relationships...

[@dustybarron3713]

i love emma stone acting

[@destine1547]

My screening was pretty full, but a lot of "wtf"s by the end of the film. I really enjoyed it, it reminded me of Killing of a Scared Deer.

Interesting ideas about a subpar movie. Only wrong with your description is the part about cannibalism but he never ate his wife's finger, he says the cat ate it, or her liver.

[@koal4114]

The cannibalism in the story is when it's implied that the wife ate her colleagues on the island

[@clownpendotfart]

Daniel never actually consumes human flesh. He says he fed Liz' finger to the cat, adding to Liz the reasoning that her finger was "disgusting". Her liver just sits on the floor, not being eaten at all. I have heard the theory that this involves fairy lore, as you aren't supposed to eat any of their food, and the cat stops being hostile to Liz after eating the finger.

[@ed-zu7jr]

When Daniel is on patrol with his partner and shoots the drunk guy, he starts licking the wound and trying to drink the blood out, while you’re right about the finger I think this was the more revealing scene.

[@user-zj9cp2ml8w]

Yes there are few myths and folk stories in Greece you could find similar_not the same- themes

[@jasonslyric4798]

I think all the characters are the same in all three and this might be just one film but in anthology form ?

[@videooblivion]

I think this is a first draft quality discussion on the film and I would suggest anyone interested in unraveling this film to look at themes of control, the human paradoxical relationship with it (and those who exercise and seek it) and philosophy.
