Prisoners | A Cryptic Maze

[@Cdawg_6969]

My favorite part of the movie is when Keller gets done torturing the guy and he’s reciting the Lord’s Prayer and when he gets to the line “and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us” and he can’t finish the sentence because he won’t forgive

[@antithoughtpolice7497]

Then he also probably can't forgive himself, and isn't expecting the Lord to either.

[@BlindGuardian050]

Gyllenhaal is so good in these kinds of movies, love them.

[@marxchagall]

this was awesome! my uncle wrote this film add its so great to see people appreciate it! one of my favorite films ever

Sick analysis. I still don't get how films like prisoners get overlooked

This film hits me hard because i have lived in Pennsylvania all my life. The cinematography and climate is matched perfectly.

[@briankay2232]

This Analysis is pure genius! I saw this film when I was 14 and rewatching at 18 makes me appreciate it even more.

[@Largentina.]

Just wait until you watch it again as an adult. Especially one with children.

[@alexcoyg3281]

Hugh Jackman should have gotten an Oscar, this is such a performance!!!

[@LadyVader33]

Quite a departure from Jean Valjean

[@timjkoala7556]

Yep, absolutely phenomenal performance by Jackman

[@williamswilliams5617]

Saw this yesterday, catching up with this director after seeing 2049. His work is tremendous.

[@LadyVader33]

This is my favorite analysis so far of this film

[@chrsweden]

Great analysis of one of the best movies ever made.

[@mario6279]

Wolf of Wall Street and American hustlers derailed you from this masterpiece! Such a shame I haven’t watch not one of those movies only prisoners the day it came out. Already knew it would be good just from the trailer

[@TheGoodfella2012]

Seen it 3 times. A marvelous film.

[@jiggleykrowzer8768]

Graterford is a TOUGH very BAD prison, out near Philly. It's definitely the worse prison in the state of PA (and they have lots). Keller's dad likely committed suicide just out of sadness and perhaps shame of the things he seen and maybe even did while being a CO.

[@weeverob]

“Give it an A+”…me, too. Great review, especially your explanations of symbolism contained within. Tx!

[@CosmicStargoat]

Outstanding analysis, man. I just finished watching this one, and like you stated, this one completely flew under my radar. I don't know how I missed this masterpiece. Regards, Goat from Ruthless Reviews.

[@RameezKhanFilmCritic]

Awesome work dude. I rewatched this film this year, after seeing Sicario. I think the Blade Runner sequel is in good hands.

[@CineFrames123]

+Rameez Khan Thanks for the support bro. Loved your recent video on Die Hard !

[@RameezKhanFilmCritic]

+ShadowReflex Dude, I love watching your videos, and I was gonna suggest we do a collaboration on something, on my channel or yours. I just need to find the right video and subject that would incite a conversation. The shit you talked about with the tattoos on Loki was really insightful, and clearly you studied the film. I'm aware that this film had a whole symbology motif going on, but never bothered researching it or anything. So, I'm thankful for that and appreciative. Seriously, keep it up! Glad you enjoyed the Die Hard video brother! Thanks for the support mate! P.S. - The Wire Season 4, holy moly. So heartbreaking!

[@CineFrames123]

+Rameez Khan Hell yeah man we should ! Seeing this much support from a larger KZbinr is so heart warming. I'm glad we share the same love for film and television. :D

[@RameezKhanFilmCritic]

+ShadowReflex Ah come on mate, don't call me a larger KZbinr. I ain't that big. I support you because, unlike SOOOO Many channels now on YT, I actually get something. I hate how trashy KZbin has become, with reaction channels dominating subscribers and what not. Those videos offer no insight. But, dude. You put in a lot of work and research into this and it shows, and I believe a voice like yours could be helpful, from an informative standpoint and just the plain and simple fact being, that I don't dominate the whole video. I have an editorial written up, I'm about to start writing it. I will contact you when it's done, and then you can tell me whether you want to lend your voice and insights to it, if you find the source material interesting! Cheers mate!

[@CineFrames123]

Sure bro, looking forward to it :D

[@Mike-rv8tx]

Finally got around to watching this film after growing more of a fan of the director's work from blade runner to arrival. Can't believe how blown away I was by this film with so many details to digest. But this film carries so much weight into reality of our world. I knew there was so much symbolism and religious undertones so had to search for answers. Thank you for opening that door cause this film can teach more then just entertain. Thankyou!

[@skeletonshorror5184]

Great analysis, I too feel like this film was forgotten but will always be one of my favorites 💀🔥

[@chrisgee188]

Did you end up liking Blade Runner 2049? Thought he did an incredible job on that.

[@briancain9486]

Yeah it's one of the best sequels I've seen and giving it's cyberpunk theme it just makes it that much cooler. Although it's hard to fook up such a franchise as Bladerunner.

[@DiegoMartinez-yx5di]

great video man I actually just rewatched it yesterday. It's personally my second favorite movie of all time.

[@mickjenks88]

One of the best movies I have ever seen

[@_The_Worst_]

In my opinion Keller did nothing wrong...💯✔ Alex knew the whole time where the children were and he refused to tell, so Keller did what was necessary to try an obtain the whereabouts of the children...👌🏼 Alex was a sick individual anyways, please don't forget about how he harmed the dog...🧐

[@M3Lucky]

At the same time, Alex was a victim of kidnapping and traumatic childhood too. So his morality is also blurred; much like Keller's

[@wptny3339]

that’s so stupid. Alex was tortured and kidnapped, his mind was totally broken. he’s way too terrified to say anything that would compromise his torturer, the aunt. he didn’t kidnap the children or harm them, and for the dog, obviously that was wrong but you can’t blame him because he can’t really know better. his brain is literally dead. Keller practically tortured a scared child, and a big theme of the movie is that he was wrong and lost in his anger until he went back to his faith

[@hillaryheath220]

So you’re going to comment this on every video about prisoners? How about you actually learn about how the mind reacts to traumatic experiences, idiot.

[@GrandSlamSilver]

A very in-depth analysis. I don't know if the screenwriter intended for the eight starred tattoo to parallel Noah's family, but otherwise I agree. I give the film a slightly lower rating as too much was explained through exposition, via the antagonist. Still, it was underrated, and deserved an Oscar nod for Best Picture.

Amazing Film..

[@dandude5196]

Things missed mentioning: Paul Dano’s character said he had never seen the girls before (which is a lie) bc the aunt said when he let them ride in his RV, she is the one who decided they should stay. Paul Dano’s character is also not as stupid as he plays out... he got his license and also said to Loki’s character that he “went for a drive” which is a quick comeback in the time of pressure Loki was using on him. So he could have saved himself and those two girls, if he would have just told them he saw them. Also... When the little neighbor girl said to Hugh Jackman, you were there.. and put tape on our mouth.... what was that about? And how the hell did Loki find the neighbors daughter? that scene made no sense. Enlighten me. Bottom line, his daughter Jackman’s wouldn’t have been saved if he didn’t capture Paul Dano’s character, which would lead loki back to the aunt’s house, where he could piece together the new evidence he obtained. He wrote off paul dano’s character and the aunt quickly based on society’s tolerance to people who act crazy. So had Jackman not did what he did by capturing Paul Dano’s character and bringing Loki to go back to the Aunt’s house, the daughter would have been dead period. Paul Dano’s character was not innocent. I don’t care what they say. Crazy does not make someone innocent. He said he didn’t see them but had enough mental capacity to let them ride around in his RV and obviously pass a driving test, and seen them get in his RV. Not to mention remember where the hell his aunt lived while driving around in it? I’m not buying that bullshit. Plus, look at the way that asshole Paul Dano treats his dog.... Innocent? I think not! lol Let me know what you think about the neightbors daughter comment and how Loki could find her. And what your thoughts are. Thanks!

[@dandude5196]

Andra you don’t like what I said why?

[@wptny3339]

i lost fucking brain cells from reading this, holy shit. if this is your takeaway I would just stop watching movies forever jesus christ

[@SoffyChannel]

@Forg1ven S1nner I think Joy's words were purposely misleading. I think she said "You were there...he put tape on our mouth" You were there, Keller was on the property of the aunt. He put tape on our mouth, that was Alex. As for as long and confusing Mr Dude's point is, I agree. I think Alex was a traumatized child, however he grew out to be one of the demons as well, as the aunt put it

[@gregorykl2317]

thats when you know the narrator had A+ in AP English

[@rosiealmy5097]

well if im keller ill do the same way, ill do the cruel way to extract information from the suspect, because that is what I believe that he was the one who took my child. So is that the only sin he did besides torturing Alex? And loki is not sure if he is going to rescue keller in the pit..

I quite like Smarties. They are like M&Ms, but have a much thicker outer shell. They are also more oblate - more pancake-like. Anyway, I used to like Smarties, but I don't like chocolate anymore. Goodbye.

@@woddlyoats You have M&Ms in the United States? 'Smarties' are just like M&Ms - small chocolates with a candy coating. Sorry: unless you are saying that you have Smarties in the USA, and they consist of a chalky type of candy - I did not know that.

[@josephcooper5225]

Obviously analysis videos of the same film are bound to be similar but your points are almost exactly the same as “Must See Films” 32 minute analysis video with the wording seemingly changed to mean the same but said in a different way as to avoid suspicion of copying, if you’re gonna copy, make sure the whole video analysis doesn’t feel like you’re rewatching the video you copied from as it’s far more obvious to tell the points aren’t original when you’ve heard the exact same in the exact order already

How does Keller know where to go after he talks to the little girl in the hospital? It makes no sense... is it just a long shot? He seems so confident when he confronts the aunt tho... I see this as a major plot hole unfortunately Great movie otherwise...
