Perspective in Whiplash

[@WhatitallMeant]

Decided to do a quick video about one really well done aspect of Whiplash. I'd love to do a full analysis, but with the A Clockwork Orange video almost getting me sued for $900,000 and trying to transition to another new job, I've been a bit busy.

[@leogothisoscar271]

Initially I wasn't happy that it wasn't even 3 minutes long because I would LOVE see your in depth analysis of Whiplash (such a fantastic movie!), but almost sued for $900,000??? Forget my selfish desires, you just do what you've got to do.

[@Nonni655321]

What?! Why? Copyright? Oh, come on... Wishing you the best.

[@WhatitallMeant]

Yeah, it's really just made me want to drop the whole thing. The way the lawyer described copyright law, as it relates to music, is that it's so stringent that he couldn't understand why all copyright holders for soundtracks don't do DMCA take downs and so on.

[@WhatitallMeant]

Yes. They aren't moving forward with it, but it was about to happen had I not taken their call.

[@sonnyevans9]

FUPA?

[@nersesarslanian3026]

La Haine, Memories of Murder, The Prestige, Chinatown, Raging Bull, The Lives of Others, Leviathan, City of God, Oldboy, In the Mood for Love. These are just recommendations to watch for fun.

[@jisoeoner7932]

+Nerses Arslanian La Haine is truly a great film, so glad to know other people appreciate it also.

[@cheothegeo2742]

This guy's channel really deserves to be bigger. He actually has substance in his videos. but then again, the mass majority of people don't want substance. they want empty eye candy and to stroke their egos. So really what I'm saying is fuck people.

[@WhatitallMeant]

It would be nice... Thanks!

[@DarraghGlynn]

Agreed. This channel would persuade more sophisticated people who enjoy such quality to join the KZbin fanbase, unfortunately most people on KZbin are only here to look at cat videos and letsplays. Still, power to this man!

[@MrBeastknows]

Y'all guys need to stop this circle jerk of "oh I'm so special because I like this stuff and everyone else is stupider than me" it's fucking embarrassing to be honest. You're not any more special than anyone else. Are we forgetting channels like Every Frame a Painting whose videos get over a million views each video? Just chill out and realize how fucking hypocritical you are when you state others want to "stroke their egos" as you stroke your own boasting about yourself in a fucking KZbin comment.

[@cheothegeo2742]

Shane Benjamson When I say "stroking egos" in my mind I was more geared towards the content creators rather than the viewers. like for instance, a guy with a sub count of 700k or whatever uploading a video of himself celebrating his birthday and it gets 100k views. the "ooh look at me having a good time 'cause I'm so fucking popular and relevant. look at how many subs I have". I should have been more specific. It was absolutely not my intention to sound arrogant and above everybody else.

[@DarraghGlynn]

i agree, i never meant to come across as elitist in any way. I merely attempted to state that i think that youtube has a younger more immature audience and the older, more interested in these heavy hitting movies, type people are not so present on this website. its more newspaper people over internet news people. i hope ive explained my view properly.

[@michaelwilliamson2255]

All these elements combined: cinematography, editing, sound, and an excellent script make the job for Miles Teller and J.K. Simmons easy and make it look appear natural. FILMMAKING AT ITS BEST!

[@FrozenShadoW918]

Aren't all car crashes impactful

[@carlangasnalgon]

Your analysis have made me realise that how deep a film can be. Thank you for your great work.

[@Maladringe666]

FULL VIDEO PLEASE THIS movIE IS AMAZinG!!!!!!

[@miked1259]

Love your stuff, man

[@lou-car-eo1146]

I think you narration has improved a lot.

[@WhatitallMeant]

Thanks. Weird to say, but I think talking in full sentences helps a lot.

[@NimlotSRV]

It does. Keep up the good work. I'd love to see more short-form videos like this one, focusing on a specific well-utilized technique that's really supports the movie's themes. Also, sorry to hear about the Clockwork Orange incident. It's a crying shame but for what it's worth, I really appreciate your videos and the work that goes into making them.

[@WhatitallMeant]

NimlotSRV I really would want them to be a regular feature, so I at least have some form of weekly output. KZbin's algorithm does me well in browser features, but kills me in sub retention and update. I'm going to re-edit it, but it still has me very nervous.

[@AlmightyDex]

This is honestly one of the best films I've ever watched.

[@drewhawkins6624]

Can't wait to see the full analysis you're really talented really wise comments

[@DarraghGlynn]

I came straight to your channel last night after watching 'sicario' the latest Denis Villenueve movie, sad to see you had not done it yet. I would love a analysis video about that film, very strange and deep. great peice of film though, such as all of Vilenueve's work! Thanks

[@laurenjohnson9627]

You have an incredible channel and I hope that you continue to grow, please keep up the good work!

[@musama11]

Love your channel, i would like to see a video about Enemy. Keep going!

[@WhatitallMeant]

I actually just watched it for the first time

[@DarraghGlynn]

Omg took the words out of my mouth. Enemy would be a great film to analyse, any of Denis Villenueve's movies would be fitting.

[@MrBeastknows]

Chris Stuckmann did a pretty excellent analysis back a couple years ago that was honestly the truest and best analysis on KZbin (somewhat ironically).

[@musama11]

Chris is awesome! but is was just an explanation, i'd like to see more about the photography or filmmaking, and i think that this guy will do a fine job.

[@DarraghGlynn]

Yes! i looked up an analysis right after watching the movie for the first time and came across his video. it was fantastic and so deeply detailed i loved it, never though to look up his other videos but i will now. thanks

[@monkeyhappyface]

whiplash is AMAZING! just thinking about the "finding who's flat" part and the "not quite my tempo" part, and the slapping his face part...it gives me chills just thinking about. I could feel the sadness & anxiety & frustration. I felt so bad because I know if it was me....I'd totally break down, and I don't like for people to see me vulnerable. but that ending...that ending is one best I've ever seen. I can't think of one that compares even though I know there's one out there.

[@Nkanyiso_K]

I loved this film, I can't wait to see your full analysis

[@uhkingdom]

whiplash what it all meant, please. Pls pls pls, pls do it. Will you do it? You should do it. Pls pls

[@WilldaBeast220]

Loved this movie, would definitely be interested in a full analysis at some point

[@waterman2779]

Great video man. Keep it up! My favorite scene was probably the dinner scene

[@MrHansu23]

Your narration keeps getting better from video to video

[@Kakemonster1898]

Wow, you sound really excited when you talk. No, but for real, I appreciate your videos.

[@sebastianb.2921]

Defiantly one of my favorite films in the past decade.

[@wasteyelo1]

Enjoyed this. Alot of what you say is really relevant to the comics I (try to) draw.

[@JohnMorrison1022]

Raging bull, The Master, Drive, The Wrestler (to accompany your Black Swan video). Some of my suggestions for films that are a bit tough to understand.

[@holographicdreaming]

Great video, and highly informative.

[@Meme033094]

Could you do Garden State it's one of my favorites love everything your doing with the channel keep it up

[@jillianross48]

Could you please do an analysis of the movie Trance? I love your videos, and would enjoy hearing what you have to say.

[@KnightZephyr]

Please, make this 'another day' happen... full analyze this movie, this incredible, awesome movie... please! (you too are awesome, btw... great work!)

[@simonlaursen4293]

Analysis of The Room next plz?

[@Missing_Balloon]

where is the full whiplash?

[@youngkeenbean7821]

Could you do Children Of Men next? one of my favorite movies!

[@WhatitallMeant]

I might try to do these little videos more often, so I could at least do a short video until I get around to a longer form version.

[@youngkeenbean7821]

sounds like a good idea!

[@MaximumJonathan]

If you get a chance please do raging bull or the shining

[@kyleeaton2717]

I dare you to try and figure out Brazil (1985). I walked out not knowing a single thing.

[@ziz3527]

do one for Inception pleasee, thank you :)

[@miacueto4113]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO THE MACHINIST

[@koentje555]

I really like your videos but your voice and intonation could be a bit more interesting, like you are enjoying the foottage that you are making, because I know you do!

[@JohnMorrison1022]

I actually like the monotone. Makes things a bit mysterious and kind of cool

[@bobpolo2964]

the monotone is great actually, clears out the pretentiousness

[@asiadorsey3214]

+Jonathon Morrison yeah the monotone is sounds great, especially for all the films he explains to us

[@JonasSampaios]

wish that someone puts portuguese subtitles :(

[@Jereeeeeeee]

Magnolia has got to happen

[@FruitSn4x]

Drive

[@bobpolo2964]

So they sue for $900, 000 as if that's the amount being made off these videos lol. Don't they realize these essays bring attention to their films? Basically, they're saying, "please don't promote our movies on this wide based platform."

[@TheSparrow002]

:D

[@schpeela8810]

stop telling people you would have gotten sued. just talk to other youtubers. its very common for laywers to try and scare you. ignore them and the worst youll get is a letter to take the video down. no one is gona waste the courts time like that. contact FUPA. its free legal advice for small youtubers like yourself.

[@WhatitallMeant]

+THE SCHPEELA I received a summons and was contacted by the same group that was taking Channel Chriswell to court. His case got thrown out, but he still has to pay court cost and the FUPA lawyers. So no, I might not have ended up actually sued for the full amount, but that's what I was told directly in addition to jail time by Serindip LLC's lawyers.

[@schpeela8810]

What it all Meant i have dealt with this stuff running a business. lawyers will use scare tactics before anything else.

[@schpeela8810]

they dont have to tell you the truth

[@schpeela8810]

did you contact fupa? because i am sure they would want to know about this. they want these scare tactics to stop scaring little channels. it looks like you were under fair use? what were you infringing on>?

[@WhatitallMeant]

Maybe I should, if for no other reason than to let them know. It was the music by Wendy Carlos specifically. I've had no trouble since the re-edit though.

[@210nitrous]

why not talk normally like persons do ???????????

[@kyloren1726]

First

[@WhatitallMeant]

Damn, you even beat me
