The Biblical Narratives of Darren Aronofsky

What is Darren Aronofsky up to?
This analysis looks at the Biblical symbolism and archetypal narratives found in his work to answer that question.
** Minor Spoiler Warning**
This video touches on some of the basic plot points in "Pi", "The Fountain", "Noah", and "Mother!". I don't believe it contains anything that would spoil those films if you haven't seen them yet. And you should really see them.

Terrific! Thanks.

[@PaulVanderKlay]

I commented too soon, really really terrific!

[@KirbyYardley]

Haha. Thanks, Paul. Coming from you that means a whole heck of a lot! I love your videos.

[@eydok5114]

Thank you, amazing video, can't wait for more!

[@amdanthony5255]

The videos you make are just beautiful, why haven't you made more?

[@papajohnthegreat6272]

He doesn’t have to this is truly what makes the platform unique this one individual can just create words of deep art based of there interests without the need for success but to better understand the works the selfs and as a secondary outcome to help share their views, beliefs and experiences with others so they can themselves look inwards this type of video is a high level of creation from the common videos you see from those they do so on a regular bases it is a channel that truly has substance and is more than a distraction from life but adds and amplifies one’s understanding, comprehension and knowledge one more than the topic but to better allow others to analyse other pieces of Meade on a more abstract and fundamental fashion to better grasp deeper meanings and to understand oneself from an external perspective thoughts then idea we consume as all maids affects us subconsciously and understanding how it does so allows us to better understand why and what it is we are and need as individuals to progress in our understanding of self

You're great, I cant believe you dont have more subscribers. Your videos are fantastic

[@Caz5166]

also I dont want to tell you what direction to go next, but I'd personally love an analysis of The Young Pope. I'm not sure if you've watched it, but I personally loved it like The Leftovers

[@KirbyYardley]

Thank you! I'm thrilled that so many people have enjoyed the videos so far. And I'm just getting started :) I haven't delved past the first episode of The Young Pope yet. I really enjoyed it, but the timing has to be right for me to really sink my teeth into something. (I actually didn't end up watching The Leftovers until after season three had aired.)

[@islam3allam]

amazing content , hope you creating one like this for Alejandro Jodorowsky,stanley kubrick,paolo pasolini... and many of other directors with real artistic projects

[@DeoCreative]

Fantastic video. Love the music used throughout.

[@KirbyYardley]

Thank you! I used the original music from the films, so credit goes to Clint Mansell, who was the composer on all of them. The song toward the end is "Angel" by Massive Attack.

[@Joaquinho]

Love the art, love the music, everything! Amazing video

[@Coronos999]

Amazing video, you're interpretation of the film mother is spot on, and more real than most would think.

[@izraiEL235]

Noah legitimately scares me. Especially that shot of the pile of pole trying to survive... 😫😥

[@MySleepyHobo]

Great work as always! Looking forward to more videos

[@KirbyYardley]

Thank you so much!

[@RomanHoltwick1]

You said more about these movies in one video than others do not manage in an analysis about one of those alone. My respect, keep up the good work! :) Found you because of the analysis of The Leftovers.

[@basharyousef4993]

You're great, I wish you have more videos

[@aleksandrgrishin2750]

It was amazing.Thanks for your assay

[@KirbyYardley]

Thank you!

[@austinveatch6993]

I certainly hope you are intending on creating more of this content, and I certainly hope you are intending to post it on Thinkspot. Content like this will find a friendly home there.

[@mercurymachines4311]

This is fantastic. Thank you for sharing.

[@lhermus]

Thank you! Very well done and educational.

[@ruairihair]

Really appreciate this analysis, great work :)

[@maxhalle-podell6635]

This video is everythingggg

[@natasnatin2790]

Great job

[@n0rton]

Good content

[@alih5254]

i am begging for more videos

[@TomRyckeboer]

Thank you once again for your great content. Please do keep them coming, and take your time - it appears to pay off.

[@KirbyYardley]

Thanks! I will for sure! Every time I make a video and post it I get so pumped to make the next one. I don't think I could ever stop at this point.

[@TomRyckeboer]

That's great to hear! I personally would love to see something on the Coen brothers' "Inside Llewyn Davis", PTA's "The Master" or any season of the Fargo series, for example. Do as you please, of course, but those are just suggestions!

[@babybecz]

his work is amazing!!!

[@izraiEL235]

That massive attack edit tho

[@stereooasis]

Your videos are fucking fantastic, man

[@husseinmousawi3458]

we need moooore 😭

[@SpaceOdyssey-eu5si]

You have to come back and make videos man. I'm so late

[@user-fo7pf3vm9t]

I hope you'll comeback

[@Simple-M___zzz]

why did you stop making videoes?

[@KirbyYardley]

I made all of these videos during a year when I was taking a short break from my career and had tons of time and mental energy to pour into them. It was so fun and challenging and I'm still really proud of this work. However, shortly after making this video about Daren Aronofsky I landed a dream job and have been heavily focused on the career aspect of my life. I do hope to get back to producing more content, though I can't promise when that will be.

[@karenkory2452]

@@KirbyYardley Kirby! Congratulations on snagging that dream job! That being said, selfishly speaking... I'm crushed, as I have just discovered your brilliance (I don't throw that around lightly) via your Leftovers vids as we are reviewing the series over the holidays --- didn't think I could embrace that show any more deeply that I already have. What can I say? Thank you, thank you... best xmas present ever! :) We shall savor your vids and hope that, over time, you'll be able to continue to share your amazing gifts. We'd pay to be students of yours, i.e. Master Class, etc. For the future -- just think about it. In any event, best of luck.

Pi effed me up

[@Peregrino-AmancioAmaoC]

Subtitulos en español por favor. Subtitles spanish please.

[@DanielHarvey1980]

i wish i could find an actual attempt at comparing Noah to the apocryphal texts which it's said to be based on instead of a bunch of videos bitching that it's wrong because it "aint the bible".

[@emmanuelsanchez2580]

Make more videos Brotha

[@roboboro]

“The side effect of this hyper awareness itself is the knowledge that the men suffers, feels pain and eventually die”. Not correct. The side effect of the disobedience is that men gets exiled by himself AND as a consecuence will suffer, feel pain and eventually die. Something that wouldn’t have happened if he wouldn’t reject the communion with God. Reject divinity and embrace mortality (instead of being like gods”
