Paul Thomas Anderson | Crafting The Perfect Scene

[@SpikimaMovies]

Phantom Thread the most uniquely romantic film ever. What film do YOU find romantic? Part 1 video : kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2S8qX2lg9Zoh5I

[@TakeTwoReviews]

Might be because I'm a Joaquin Phoenix fanboy, but for me, it's gotta be "Her". Phantom Thread is definitely a top of the list contender though - loved your take on it!

[@pdzombie1906]

This is my Top ten (I would love a video on any of these): 10. Solaris (2002) 9. The Bridges of Madison County (1995) 8. The English Patient (1996) 7. Sud pralad (2004) 6. Annie Hall (1977) 5. Once (2007) 4. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) 3. Portrait de la jeune fille en feu (2019) 2. The Before Trilogy (1995-2004-2013) 1. In the Mood for love (2000)

[@SpikimaMovies]

@@TakeTwoReviews Oof that's hard to beat! A very different type of romantic too. Glad you enjoyed it my friend!

[@SpikimaMovies]

@@pdzombie1906 I see that I've done 1, 3, and 4 already ;) Great list. Will take a look at some I haven't watched!

[@TakeTwoReviews]

@@SpikimaMovies Hahah, yep, definitely different, both are special and powerful in their own way. Cheers man, keep doing your thing!

[@lichtfilme]

At first I felt I didn’t like the film because I didn’t like how it made me feel. But it was the subtle power of the film. It makes me nauseous. I love it.

[@vsauce4678]

The connection of a character I completely hate and a character I find so enjoyable. Maybe I hated the film cause I’m to fragile for this.

[@lagmion4061]

Exactly! I felt conflicted to admit that I love the film because it didn't bring any "visible" emotions out of me - laughter, crying, amazement - but the inner turmoil was ravishing. It's so unsettling yet so calm and mesmerizing at the same time. It's got a whole lot in common with Vertigo, and dare I say this is a whole sub-genre of movies in its own right

[@trblessed1020]

Same!!! I was like why who what is this type of love lol

[@crushedlittlestars7]

This film portrays the complexity of human relationships in a way I have never seen before or since

[@LivinhItUp]

At the surface level, it's a romance. But in the hands of a nuanced director, and possibly the greatest actor in history, turns what should be a bore of typical period piece between lovers, into something completely more riveting and deep.

[@gabrielsilvas692]

Both takes are different and right

[@toxbox3055]

These video essays are unrivaled, I wish the channel had more attention to it.

[@progressfactorymi6744]

Don’t fret my friend. He is well on his way.

[@jarlwhiterun7478]

Cringe at the term "video essay". It's not for a college exam, it's for entertainment.

[@ayubnor0]

Jonny Greenwood's score is magnificent.

[@GMoneyChuck89]

It's getting harder to deny that this is my favorite movie of all time.

[@Carcosahead]

**romantic blahem**

[@graysonsmith3006]

This scene hypnotized me when I first watched the movie and it's so cool to see someone talk about it. Love all of your content my man.

[@rowanc88]

'Phantom Thread' is my favourite movie of all time. I just adore everything about it.

[@originaozz]

I'm obsessed with this film ever since I first saw it in cinema; at first it angered me, baffled me, then intrigued me, and redefined how I think love should be to how it could be right in different ways. The breakdown of that pivotal scene was so beautiful, you captured the film essence and I truly think your one of the best channel out there!

[@acriticwithoutacause8983]

when I think Phantom Thread I come to that scene too & so did PTA when in the last scene in Alma's imagination they were back at this place.

[@janec2801]

This is one of my all time favorite movies and I’ve been dying for someone to make any kind of decent analysis of it!!!! Thank you so much for being the one to do it.

[@derekegenti]

I love this movie so much because not only does Alma love and understand Reynolds, probably more than any woman he'd ever had, but she understands the value she brings to his life and does not, at any point, fail to demand to be treated with the same respect and loyalty.

[@davidmeneses712]

Maybe my favorite film of PTA. You're analysis it's great. I wanna watch it again.

[@bab_ouch]

I love this film so much, i find it almost addictive. The way those characters feel about each others reflects in the relationship between the movie and the spectators.

[@shamblepants1450]

Thank you so much - I had not heard of this movie, but now it's on the "see it NOW" list. Your video essays are simply beautiful.

[@nolanarnaud1066]

Damn you kinda ruined the surprise yourself

[@cempakaharum9445]

Hey. I just want to say thank you for this great channel. You did an amazing work here. Most channel will just review on over-hyped not-so-good film. But you,you know your stuff. I'm glad i found this channel. 💕

[@SpikimaMovies]

Thanks for finding me ;) and for watching!

[@Gilgaemesh]

Paul Thomas Anderson has been my favorite director since I seen Hard Eight.

[@macareuxmoine]

I think there is one detail that you didn’t mention: before Reynolds finds Alma and grabs her by the wrist to leave there had also been a bit of a stir in the crowd and Alma had left it. She didn’t seem to feel completely happy in the crowd, somehow a little displaced even though she had wanted to be there. Also her dress doesn’t seem to fit the occasion. Maybe she also must realize she doesn’t belong in that world anymore either.

[@samanthanoeliaferrer]

she could also still be upset that he will never be able to be herself completely and that reynolds although she loves him will never enjoy something she enjoys with her.

[@macareuxmoine]

@@samanthanoeliaferrer hmm, maybe. Although in the end they do dance together at that venue… so they did get to enjoy these things together. But maybe at that earlier they weren’t able to see that far yet. Thank you for your thoughts though ☺️

[@jamessimon3433]

Yes! No one ever points to this scene. Its sublime.

[@everausten]

Very interesting movie. Great analysis ✨💛✨

[@vioinigracia7]

I really really really loveeee your videos 🥲 this video particularly is very well explained and has unraveled beautiful meanings hidden within the film. I knew this film has so much to explore and your insight really adds up! more like this please ☺️

[@jimmydork9206]

I’m a Red Letter Media super fan. I love what they do. Then YT recommended your content. There’s an addicting simplicity to what you do, vs channels equally valuable like RLM. Please keep being you. You’re exactly in the niche you should be in with these reviews. I can only wish you will release videos more often

[@ghost9706]

literally my favorite movie of all time. thanks for breaking down this scene, there are so many layers to every little detail in this movie so i love learning new perspectives!!

[@hebemariacarreira8344]

Superb! Thank you!

[@pdzombie1906]

Well, someone is in love with Phantom Thread... And why shouldn't you, it's perfect!!! Great video!! Thanx!!!

[@SpikimaMovies]

Haha Thank you!

[@penacholibre]

Beautiful breakdown of the scene. There is one detail that I’m not sure signifies something for the director, but Alma in Portuguese means Soul, so I’ve also seen the relationship in that perspective as if he is fighting against and towards finding is true soul. A bit like Jung’s red book were he goes into his mind’s landscapes to talk to his own soul.

[@alabastercodefy5636]

Brilliant. PTA is a master of his craft and you are a master of observation and analysis. Bravo. Wonderful film. It's not my favourite of his, simply because I have no favourite. My mood directs me to whichever film of his is most suitable at the time.

[@eun-solkim7080]

Favorite fucking movie ever

[@jimmydork9206]

This film stayed with me for years. Every week I’ll think about it. I saw it once And I didn’t like it. It’s a powerful film.

[@11apekatt]

Thanks for a really great video again on my favorite PTA movie! What do you think it means that in a later scene in the movie, we see that Reynolds and Alma has returned to the party, maybe the day after, and dance among the balloons? That is my favorite shot of the movie

[@Akemi_Homura198]

I waited for someone to mention this! When i watched the movie and this scene came up I thought that they never left the party in the first place but they stayed and danced. But after watching this video I May be wrong lol

[@user-od4eo7tq4n]

정말 최고의 채널.. 항상 감사하는 마음으로 아껴보고있습니다🥺

[@suhwanlim8807]

PTA의 로맨스 영화들은 정말 신비로운 분위기를 가지고 있는거 같습니다. 이 영화는 촬영,연기,연출 등 모두 완벽하다고 생각합니다!

[@SpikimaMovies]

PTA만의 독특한 세계관이 너무 좋아요... 항상 서서히 스며들어 사랑에 빠지게 만드는거 같습니다

[@fatha2092]

You made me watch this film cuz of the last video

[@ericjourdain892]

This is delicate and exquisite movie analysis, couture to the mainly high street KZbin channels. Instant subscription 🤗

[@SpikimaMovies]

Thank you very much ! Highly appreciated :)

[@RoshDroz]

Got damn, what a breakdown. You put into words what I felt watching this movie, even though I didn't fully understand them until now. Bravo

[@spencergower7]

One of my Favorite movies of all time

[@amanjaiswal9389]

Great video. This is not only my favourite PTA film but also one of my favourite films of all time. Would love to watch more videos on PTA's other films like The Master or even his latest film Licoroce Pizza. Great work BTW.

[@yodude8686]

I am obsessed with this scene and this movie

[@movedmindpoRUSZonyUMYS]

Yet another masterpiece by PTA (my fav director ever). Beautiful video.

[@GrizzlyAAC]

항상 보면서 어떤 분이 이렇게 꼬박꼬박 자막을 달아주시는 건지 고마운 마음에 봤는데 사실 직접 하신다는 걸 이제야 알았습니다 XD

[@SpikimaMovies]

이젠 통역/자막 도와주시는 분과 함께 작업하긴 합니다만, 넵! 결국 직접 하는건 맞답니다 ㅎㅎ

[@isaacyzaglr7139]

Thank you so much, I had no idea how much I needed this channel and link.

[@SpikimaMovies]

Thanks for watching!

[@aleksandra_______]

phenomenal video, makes me appreciate the new years scene much more

[@cheesecake3026]

Magical

[@477_sy.it.babhishektiwari4]

Brilliant brother

[@teapangilinan9570]

Its so funny when you say “our scene” and proceed to discuss the beauty of the anti-climactic event but the only scene i could think of was the “-FUCKING CHIC?”

[@Piccolino_]

This film, I love it so much

[@siddharthabhattarai7191]

This is quite a phenomenol analysis

[@theconsciousobserver6829]

This is one of the greatest films ever made. I put it with The Godfather Pt 2, The Verdict, Eyes Wide Shut, My Fair Lady, Apocalypto, A Clockwork Orange, Drive, The Master, Dr Zhiavgo. I would say this is a new Dr Zhiavgo.

[@pippy6677]

Thank you for your work.

[@joshnite9265]

Such a masterpiece.

[@cambruh5992]

I heard a similar quote about Del Toro, that he writes and films love stories and I can't stop thinking of that for all of his works now, even Mimic??

[@illchili]

Another amazing analysis.

[@joannaalston469]

this is my favourite movie of all time. rewatching the new years scene, im drawn to the background partygoers-the couple on the balcony especially. their costumes are sexually ambiguous and point towards the complex power dynamic between reynolds and alma. also, by wearing the purple dress (the first one he made for her) to the party, she treats it like a costume, which it kind of is-it represents alma as she is with reynolds/as she is becoming. but of course that treatment of the dress is awful for reynolds to see. interesting that two of his dresses are costume-like (the velvet queen ones).

[@수야-s6n]

매번 감사히 아껴 보고 있습니다..후후..

[@SpikimaMovies]

매번 감사합니다 !

[@thciswack99]

Being a homeboy & having a on and off outgoing girlfriend for the past 3 years, this movie and video hit close to home for some weird reason.

[@onelox]

Nice video thanks! But they don't leave the party: They are the last couple dancing - She connects him to the World in a way he can be comfortable with.

[@donniedarko1234]

pta is THE best director of all time, i stand by that

[@gideon11]

Thanks

[@erikzherrllo6960]

At first when watching it I was like "why is Alma with this guy? He is rude and mean and doesn't love her." but as I kept on watching, as I rewatched and obsessed, I got it. They are both twisted, they are both hard and unmoving characters. Alma will not yield to his tantrums, and in exchange Reynolds gives her something better than love, he lets her know he needs her, he is helpless without her. And as a woman, it is so attractive when a man just needs you, I think because of notions that men are hard and self sufficient and need no one or nothing, but I got it then, he was vulnerable with her and only her. That's love in a way.

[@RandomDudeOne]

I hope PTA and DDL have one more collaboration in them.

[@blasemusha4001]

Spikima nuts

[@SpikimaMovies]

What about my...wat?

[@gregorylagrange]

Acting was great. And I was really impressed with her acting. But this was a great looking movie, which complimented the sub topic of fashion. And I think that's what everyone was swept away by. As a movie, made to be a bigger deal than it was.

[@mikeloloful]

The only romantic film that resonated with me.

[@doritoman4027]

Watch Punch-Drunk Love!!!

[@nocarsgo]

감사합니다..ㅠㅠㅠ 가장 좋아하는 영화중 하나에요. 언제나 그런 영화들에는 작고 소중한 저만의 의미가 있기 마련인데 spikima의 설명을 듣고 나면 그 시선의 깊이에 압도되어서 조금 슬퍼진다고 할까요. 그런 나의 의미들보다 훨씬 많은게 있다는 거, 어쩌면 나 자신의 무지를 깨닫게 되는 걸지도 모르구요. 질투는 아니고 너무 좋아서! 일부러 3주 기다리다가 틀게 된 이유에 대한 변명을 적어 보네요. 언제나 내용들은 기대 이상이구요. 좋았어요 이번에도!

[@SpikimaMovies]

아름다운(?) 감상평 감사합니다! 하지만 작고 소중한 의미들보다 중요한건 없으니...슬퍼하실 필욘 없을거 같네요 :) 사실 이 영화는 그런 작은 것들을 기념하는 작품이니까요! 재밌게 봐주셔서 너무 감사합니다!

Someday I'm going to write a screen play and while I am his vids will be in the background

[@joelatkin1214]

I’d love to see a punch drunk love video

[@kindafunnyiguess1193]

I’m much more curious to know how “There will be Blood” is romantic at heart.

[@theconsciousobserver6829]

The marriage of a man to his work.

[@esyphillis101]

It has a romantic worldview. The main character is so committed to his work that at the end he is “finished”. While his son despite being deaf, marries and lives a simpler but happier life.

[@ATRIPWITHME]

When your in love,you can sometimes become the enemy in order to show them just how much your actually love them.

[@parhammohammadi9733]

Do you think this is the reuling idea(main idea) of the movie or the ghost of the mother scene ?

[@사랑-o3s]

👍♥️

[@ssslothrop379]

The romance of mutual assured destruction

[@0cer0]

I would love to watch this movie again. But I am so afraid of it. It gets so emotionally close to me (and I probably identify too much with Woodcock) that I can hardly bear to watch it. It's an interesting problem that no other film has ever given me (although, on another level, Punch Drunk Love comes close).

[@kjj7989]

[@senoreunicornio3227]

Hi spikima

[@SpikimaMovies]

Hi there.

[@Tejasisphoenix]

I think he played a person like his father... He had many unresolved issues withh him... His relationship with dad was distant... His father passed away when he was in his teens.... Maybe that's why he could have explored such angles which severly depressed that he decided to retire... Finally the toll of method acting became too much

[@carringtonjudd9618]

What's the film at 00:53?

[@GreenLevi-ec6pz]

Boogie Nights (1997)

[@KidFresh71]

I want to watch this movie, being a big PTA fan & DDL fan. But it looks... boring?

[@macareuxmoine]

The more often you watch it the less boring it gets 😜

[@AMore429]

Good performance. PTA is overrated.

[@RebeccaEvans]

It was gross and tragic until she destroys him and until he begs for exactly that

[@donnasherwood283]

Well this psycho may have imagined Reynolds 4:42 that way but it was not how day Lewis played it. He came across as an immensely gifted and confident man capable of immense live and devotion creating an idyl supporting a great many people not indulging in lack of control of temperament. Anderson is insane ruined the film with the over the top metaphors with the toilet and analyzing his devotion to a loving mother who mentored him as some form of neurosis. Film died at the box office audience I was in was massively turned off and it was made known.

[@rmamn2458]

Where’s the best shot in the movie?

[@macareuxmoine]

For me at around two hours when he passionately kisses her after realizing she poisoned him not to kill but to love him. Such a forceful resolution moment 🥰

[@lvndrr_dashboard]

This movie is just Artsy boring Freudian nonsense.
