this is what happens when you ask an analytical person to come to your festival and describe their experience. from anyone else, you could expect rankings out of 10 or something. but from Dan, you get an essay about art as it relates to capitalism and a critique of society. i absolutely love that you described the process you went through to create this video. if that is how your brain works, it's a miracle you manage to actually produce content. congrats to you for figuring out how to synthesize what must feel like an electrical storm in your head. i just discovered you recently and i can't get enough of your videos

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".

[@DYNB]

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!

[@PropheticShadeZ]

Thanks for your honesty, and I agree, but now for the obligatory internet joke You know fight club is about gayness, have you considered that perhaps you might not have a standard gender expression

[@TheTealHydra]

​@@PropheticShadeZ Good God, just don't let the "gender" crowd convince you that nonconformity means you're a woman.

[@RasserMeyer]

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.

[@zxul2340]

Context, yey!

[@sarahmacdonald955]

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.

You sir, deserve a clap. I saw myself saying, "Right?!" to every other sentence in this video essay. I must also comment that the speed at which you deliver your ideas is refreshing to those that have no problem understanding them. 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.

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.

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.

[@Trillykins]

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.

[@DejligeTico]

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.

[@TwelvetreeZ]

True, but it's possible the film makers saw Mikkelsen as potentially helping the film in foreign markets, since he's now crazy famous

[@saygoodnightkevin]

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.

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.
