Master of None: Arthouse TV and Italian Influences

[@ScriptureSketches]

"We have replaced the purpose of life with the choice of lifestyle." Wow, that's insightful.

[@lashantacurry5978]

The choice of lifestyle? Are valuations being placed upon what defines a life? People defining their own purposes in life or being given purposes in life? Decisions of lifestyle being indicators of personal purpose or attempting to define others from placing purpose upon them or defining their lives for them. Doesn't sound like something someone else can replace. Only efforts to miscontextualize or distort both and validate neither. Purpose of life? Choice of lifestyle?

[@kiribundi]

Episode 9 was honestly the most heartfelt moment I've seen in TV. It had something so relatable yet so uniquely approached...

[@Beforethecredits]

I loved the first episode of "Master of None" and the ode to Classic Italian Films. It wasn't what I expected going in to the season but man was it enjoyable.

[@thetake]

Yeah, agreed about it being unexpected. But that made it quite refreshing. Very smart show.

[@princeshezy007]

In the age of click baity titles and thumbnails followed by pure thrash for content I'm glad this channel exists to give actual thought provoking ideas and artistic insight. Thank you Screen Prism!

[@thetake]

Hear hear! Thank you!

[@Rubberfooted]

I feel like I need to spread the gospel of this channel. One of KZbin’s finest if I do say so myself

[@lashantacurry5978]

I didn't personally like the video. Master of None is a great series the video isn't increasing my fondness of the series though. The conclusion of the second season a few years ago and efforts to continue the series amid aziz ansaris various other involvements. Send viewers to provide netflix with funding for getting another season going.

[@Doktorlady]

The meta-commentary observation about L'Aventura vs. that pup movie blew my mind, so good.

[@mint139]

dev and Francesca chemistry is amazing..s02e09 is the best one

[@camillee.5931]

Ew cringe

[@jonesmartins]

This channel is definitely the best discovery of 2017.

[@robertoduran1672]

Jones Martins 2019

[@amrithanandr]

One of the best dissections of the show. Brilliant analysis.

[@samdyer1286]

This is some of the best and most accurate analysis of a film/TV show that I've ever seen. Well done.

[@BreakCards]

I’m in love and obsessed with this Channel! You deserve patreons and sponsorship , you makes us think and see more. When I was ill for a while I couldn’t move from my bed, I miss some movies but know with this provocative channel that makes us think I WANT TO SEE GREAT CLASSICS

[@TheSuperNats]

Bicycle Thief is one of the most heartbreaking and beautiful movies I ever seen. I was so happy to see the way Aziz adapted into the show.

[@Famoomoo]

I seriously enjoyed this video. What an amazing job. I feel like season 2 was still as interesting if not more than season one. This is the only show where the latest season is comparably better than the first even though the first season was awesome. The editing and explanation of this video was wonderful.

[@NigelDPresents]

An amazing recap for an amazing season. So much better than season 1.

[@loiracitr]

Such a beautiful tribute to Italian cinema! After so many American films and shows full of offensive stereotypes and actors who play them but don't even speak Italians it's refreshing!

[@isabelaoliveira9270]

Watched Master of None early this year and simply loved it.

[@heywardthomas6099]

Brilliantly translated. Cleary you're educated on film. I could watch these videos all day.

[@gabrielmercado2942]

Honestly one of the best videos I've seen on KZbin...

[@TheKlinsman1996]

I love you I hope you win an Emmy for this.

[@abhijeetlagade4010]

During the party at 12:35 the music that plays is all House Music of Chicago, New York. one of the track is 'Your Love" by Frankie Knuckles which totally describes how Dev feels about Francesca, loved how they put it there just Excellent!!!

[@ladyb9375]

I had picked up some references like Amacord and Ladri di Biciclette, but no the Antonioni movies! Great video!

[@rahuldavidbeckham]

An analysis as brilliant as the series. @ScreenPrism Great job Guys!

[@thetake]

Thanks so much!

[@briandickson3496]

Definitely had some strong La Dolce Vita feels. Nice video.

[@devbrimmer]

I love that show so much

[@WillAdamMusic]

Thank you @ScreenPrism - this is the most beautifully human thing on TV, so well observed and executed.

[@thetake]

Thank you for the watch and support!

[@Geometrynode]

I really loved this analysis you did!

[@elvindantes1165]

What a wonderful video to watch after having just finished the second season. And that season was beautiful, some of the best "TV" I've seen. They took inspiration from the best, employed different types of storytelling, and made something special. This video essay and the movies noted in it, along with the actual show, are reminders that there are still plenty of good things in this world.

[@dinospumoni5611]

Really excellent analysis. I didn't know KZbin was capable of this level of nuance.

[@Modguw]

I really loved this analysis! Watching the show I had the feeling there was something more to it. You guys put into words what i could not. Thank you

[@highwind1991]

Not sure why I haven't watched this show yet since a lot of these influences are some of my favorite films

[@ghosthour21]

This is the show I have ever watched cant wait for the 3rd season

[@MessiForever-q9l]

I think it is admirable that Ansari and Yang didn't just go the usual way of churning out one season every year to make maximum money. There was a 2 year gap between the season, and Aziz said 3rd season won't be made till he has experienced something in his life worth telling. "I don't have anything else to say about being a young guy being single in New York eating food around town all the time" looks like after 4 years he has found a story to tell

[@MSordernature]

This is a great channel.

[@rayyanalikhan007]

I was getting all the reference while watching this show and thought to make a video on the same subject. But, You guys did it first and analyzed it better than I could have done.

[@archimago112]

Every time francesca appears my heart melts a little

[@duilovo]

damn your work on this channel is really good. I loved master of none season two for its italian charme.

[@pdzombie1906]

It's a crime that: 1. There still is no third season... 2. The video doesn't have more views... Thanx, girls, just revisiting one of your many great videos. LuvU, bye, bye!!!

[@enjoisk8a911]

Ive seen a few of these like "film theory" videos on Master of None, and this one was reallly good

[@SungurEge]

Holy fuck, I’m so glad I have found this channel. Best channel discovery of this year. Videos I’ve watched so far have been beautifully put together and the subject matters are deeply analyzed without sounding forced at all. I love it. Keep up the great work! :)

[@thetake]

Thank you so much for the kind words Ege!! Thanks for watching and spread the word :)

[@SungurEge]

ScreenPrism Oh I will, no worries! I already told a good friend of mine to check your channel out and she even subscribed to you I think :)

[@aguasclarasdoc]

Amazing video! Tks!

[@giuliotrejo4256]

I love this show. And this was an absolutely wonderful video on it

[@kaiman6539]

i just watched two of your videos and each time you tell me exactly what i love about a serie (the wire and master of none), i m big fan of cinema and i wish i had the same knowledge you guys have!!!!

[@thetake]

Thanks for watching! Glad you liked it

[@Arthur-nr5ci]

This was incredibly insightful. Would you ever consider releasing the transcript of this analysis?

[@MrGetownedLP]

what a fantastic video, great job screenprism!

[@aishwaryagaidhane]

God damnfyou guys naiked it. The comment section here and tge reddit threads are the only places I realized that I am not the only one to feel what this show made me feel. Such an underrated show and such a underrated channel. I subscribed after the apes analysis (on point) but this was just too good.

[@lancelovecraft5913]

Great analysis. Thanks for the film reccomends

[@wasy35]

Wow you've done your homework. Fantastic and the show also.

[@gagamonster1049]

Amazing show

[@aquaticlibrary]

Excellent breakdown

[@nori9686]

Great video! Great series...

[@nomoreusernamesleft1]

you guys seriously make everything so much better to watch like you add so many layers to the source material that some times wasn't interesting to watch in the first place I really found master of none to have some serious problems the god awful acting for starters but your videos are so much more compelling.

[@palindrome2599]

Not that it's underrated, per-say, but it definitely deserves more viewers

[@jgrd]

This video has convinced me to watch this show :)

[@rezoannur2333]

In the ending scene, Francesca is not wearing an engagement ring so I think she broke it off with Pino and took a leap of faith with Dev.

[@NEMIHEMERA]

Brilliant!

[@stanleycoleman]

Good analysis.

[@rogerstille6483]

Yo awesome video but could you put the list of movies mentioned in the description I would really appreciate it. Edit: I forgot you guys reference all material used. I feel a bit dumb now. Great work keep it up 10/10

[@alexandrehamilton7169]

Does anyone know the name of the song that plays at 12:46?

[@xPoetree]

Ur brilliant how do figure this out. Truly mind boggling

[@fadhilramadhani1847]

I LOVE the second season of Master of None, but I would say YEAH Aziz created Francesca out of his imaginary perfect Italian girlfriend inspired by those movies, which makes her totally void of any characterization. Just like what she said in the dinner party, she is JUST Italian, without any other discernible traits. This is purely my opinion though.

[@Sachin6197]

Why does the perfect italian buy buttloads of travel size pharmacy

[@soulwarsnerd]

I would say that's the point, because he's created the perfect Italian women. I disagree that she's completely void of characterization. But if that's how you feel, then I feel that enhances the show. He is in search of love, and since Dev has been watching these Italian films, Dev influences created the perfect Italian women, he's desperate for love you can see that with the British girl and Francesca end up filling that mold. She's engadeged yet Dev's wanting for a women "the perfect Italian women" from his influences we see on the desk. Francesa may not be fully happy with her marriage so she also uses Dev as a conduit. It reminds me of relationships now, we tend to think the perfect relationships are forever in the honey moon state which is not true. We only see Dev and Francesca's honey moon stage. Just like the video says is Dev really in love or is he just filling the void. Because we don't fully know Francesca it also shows Dev may not fully know her either. I think it works great. And it all makes sense with that the video says . It's all complicated and I don't if I was super clear. But I can sort of see lack of characterization which I disagree, but I don't see it as a bad thing that you do , cause to me it sort of elevates the show in another perspective. I mean this show is art and we can all see different perspective on it that's what makes art like this great.

[@gamster96]

2 questions I had while watching this video: 1) What is the line between homage and ripping off (The Thief)? 2) What is the line for being subtle about what you are homaging and not being subtle about it (The blurays in The Thief, watching the movie, and naming the actresses)?

[@somebody2619]

Are y'all gonna do more of those Game of Thornes breakdown vids?

[@thetake]

Coming soon!

[@somebody2619]

ScreenPrism Thanks!

[@Strollingbloke]

"We got kissies!"

[@sachinshetty7397]

So Aziz Ansari is modern day Woody Allen

[@hombrejose8164]

Are there plans to do more Star Wars vids? Love your channel btw!

[@lolaarcana]

Not enough about the gorgeous Riccardo Scamarcio! (also in 'To Rome with Love')

[@GantzGeo]

👌👌👌👌

[@catchmeadow1467]

Breakdown Doctor Who

[@thetake]

Good suggestion.

[@DeadpoolAli]

ScreenPrism a good one would be comparing Davis' run vs Moffat. feels like two different shows.

[@jaredjenkins99]

ScreenPrism Yes please do. Love that show

[@sinnsage]

James Dovey I’d adore them to do some xfiles, and the reason why the show persists in popularity almost 30 years after its beginning

[@soulwarsnerd]

SUBBEd

[@Entedeficción]

A lot of work here.

[@thetake]

Was a lot of work, but a lot of fun too. Thanks for the watch and note :)

[@louiso.4325]

DO A WES ANDERSON MOVIE

[@user-mb9nm7bq5e]

I LOVE AND AHTE THIS SHOW. its unrealistic as fuck that francesca would end up with dev. not becuase of looks, but the fact that she left ehr fiance of years to a guy she met 2 months before. also wtf how does he keep getting so lucky job wise?

[@BrandonWalowitz]

Cute comic button?

[@ethelesparza2127]

:-) 💐🌟💕

[@travismcgrath7375]

man I didn't like season one. maybe I should soldier on and check out season 2.

[@tombaringer633]

ha ha the irony Middle class well to do American ethnic kid goes on a elite consumer binge in Italy inspired by neo relistic depictions of working class life how elitist have screen plays become like where is the drama ?

[@NewCanadianTurtle]

When Italians make westerns, they're called "spaghetti westerns." If an indian makes a western, would it be called a "curry western?"

[@amsheel9921]

NewCanadianTurtle Curry western is an actual thing. Sholay is an example.

[@oof-rr5nf]

Watch Sholay, dude. This Indian assures you, you shall not regret it.

[@adebrysi]

these characters have tons of money and loving family members which makes it unrelatable

[@beckyginger3432]

I found the show so unbearable "boy" as to be unwatchable.

[@lashantacurry5978]

Any more content on people of color for a while the video pertaining to model minorities held domanice on the channels recomendations. And I'll direct my complaints about the continued creation of videos for F.R.E.I.N.D.S. content persists while repeating how white the series was. Biased against minorites. Lack of diversity sounds like excuses.

[@snomad2248]

Master of none... Means? It's an all right show. But when dev & arnold start singing & dancing about something being their favourite thing, I begin to feel sick.

[@Jesse-fk3xc]

I loved season 1 but season 2 sucked. super pretentious and boring. Who else stopped watching on the deaf girl episode?

[@sinnsage]

This video really helped me to understand and therefore enjoy the season my ch better than previously. I LOVED season 1, and though i felt the acting was worse in season 2, now that i know more about it i like it as well, just for different reasons. Super brilliant show.
