U should do a video on the beauty of Naked, a film by mike leigh. One of my favourites, the shots in it are really nice

[@issi529]

Heat was his masterpiece.

[@Mos41f]

This video was long, long, long overdue. One of the best directors of all time. Nobody captures loneliness better than Michael Mann.

[@lesner66]

❤

[@r3dsnow757]

Wong Kar Wai does, but in a way dreamier and stylistic fashion.

[@bastard9982]

Hey I do agree but what about Martin Scorsese and taxi driver ?? And maybe eyes wide shut and Stanley Kubrick ??

[@Mos41f]

@@bastard9982 You're talking about whole movies in general, not particular shots. There's only one other director that comes close to capturing loneliness like Mann, that is Winding Refn.

[@erikzimmermann1440]

Certainly Melville does

[@jp-st8vn]

Most stylish director. 'God moving over the faces water' just made it 💙💙💙💙

[@motwhom3230]

moby and hans zimmer share the crown with music production for movies. this song from heat is one reason why

[@grantnebel9974]

Saw the length of the clip and knew exactly what the music would be.

[@leobandoni]

Manhunter is one of the most underrated movies of all time

[@jjohnson5014]

Ridiculously good 80s film. Soundtracks amazing on their own

[@Largentina.]

Absolutely. Same with Thief. I feel like most people think that the only movies this man made were Heat and Last Of The Mohicans

[@slicksouthpaw1350]

Mann’s breathtakingly stylistic neon cinematography and depiction of principled and stoic consummate professionals is something that will never be forgotten in Cinematic history. It’s been years I’ve been waiting for this video to drop.

[@James-ll3jb]

No words. What principles?😅

[@slicksouthpaw1350]

@@James-ll3jb Obviously they are flawed anti-heroes many of things they do are morally reprehensible. I’m referring of adhering to codes and principles for the sake of being consummate professionals. E.G. Neil McCauley having the discipline to “not getting attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner.”

[@brookeduncan9699]

All of his characters observe their own form of what amounts to Bushido regardless of the consequences. Doing the thing most be done with total commitment or else it's not worth doing.

[@James-ll3jb]

@@brookeduncan9699 "Bushido"???

[@naveensuresh811]

Michael mann night shots are simply great ❤

[@Bluevr245]

This guy will be looked back upon as one of the Greatest Underrated Filmakers. His stuff is so deep, you only get it years later!! An absolute genius!!!

[@Nately22]

Nobody shoots LA and captures urban isolation better Mann. Those blues are amazing.

[@Brendissimo1]

Easily one of my favorite filmmakers No one depicts cities at night like Michael Mann.

[@DelightLovesMovies]

I love Michael Mann and his films. I'll never understand the hate for his Miami Vice film. I really love it a lot.

[@brazen501]

Because it's really a vibe and not Miami vice. They are working for another department in the movie and because of hurricane most of movie is shot in Caribbean. Just name it something else. And change Jaime and Colin and it's a great flick

[@dr.badass702]

@@brazen501 They should have just made them DEA agents or CIA even (like in Sicario) - the stuff they’re doing in that movie is way above the pay grade / skill level of even the most elite special units of Miami Dade cops

[@jeashillelal7805]

Miami Vice is an underrated Michael Mann movie

[@Sora6893]

The choice of scenes with the music... dude, you're just so talented. Always looking forward to see your vids. Sometimes, when I'm at my job and maybe I have some free hours, I like to go through your channel and see some vids, sometimes I even see the same vids over and over. This is how magic your videos are. Thank you so much for all your work!

[@TheBeautyOf]

Thanks a lot !!

[@Mos41f]

The blue filter in Michael Mann's scenes signifies Loneliness.

[@olliebramm4586]

“Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner."

[@connormacleod8342]

One my favourite filmmakers and my favourite film ever (heat). Thank you for this treat

[@karellen2758]

No one can capture the weakness and strength of loneliness, both at the same time, like Mann does. He tells things with images words cant formulate.

[@grantnebel9974]

"He loved the surface of the earth and the process of life"--an Orwell line that perfectly describes Mann (Kurosawa too).

[@misteranderson5991]

Magnificent choice for the final shot. Insider isn't the most obvious choice when a filmo has Heat, Mohicans and Manhunter but Insider is probably his most accomplished work.

[@omadlom]

This is one of the best videos I’ve ever seen on KZbin and the choice of music is just right. I’m not afraid to admit that I had tears in my eyes such is the beauty of the shots and the music.

[@TheBeautyOf]

Thanks a lot mate 🙏🏻

[@bibekbasa]

The most beautiful soundtracks n films!

[@lesner66]

🎉

[@deborjajazzershiem5306]

no one can capture the ocean as beautiful as Michael Mann. I mean, no one.

[@bkwchiu]

My appreciation for Michael Mann started with Thief. He has influenced my sense of aesthetic all my life for which I am grateful.

[@jakoblikes5021]

This is making my das so much better you can’t even imagine

[@alexanderford3831]

Favorite Director. Incredible Storyteller. Fantastic Video.

[@harryom3497]

Mann does know how to take an iconic shot. If you see his staging and shot selection.

[@ldigah]

This brought a tear to my eye. Music is perfectly matched.

[@ink-_-]

The greatest director of all time, and it's not close.

[@vodkamilk6703]

5:54 I know it's a pretty known fact, but this shot is an hommage to the painting Pacific by Alex Colville

[@Mos41f]

The shots at 4:35, 5:50 & 5:56 are incredible!

[@mikezappa]

I love how Mann (and his DOP) can make the most mundane situation both familiar and visually interesting. I have been a big fan since Heat. The slightly over exposed shot driving through the tunnel always gives me goosebumps.

[@nero19880]

I was needing this to be reminded of such greatness and depth

[@blackbolt1013]

He's an exceptionally storyteller. His films are just beautiful to watch an audio-visual feast . He knows his craft iconic director.

[@NagoD_Ra]

You gotta do one for just the Miami vice tv show alone. There’s so many great shots and imagery in it

[@v-trigger6137]

My fav director off all time.. Collateral was so influential on me growing up, not only it opened my eyes to what movies can be as in both visually and storytelling, but also it was the first time when i started to notice on filmmaking techniques more seriously.

[@ROC14088]

Mann is obviously a genius, but much respect has to go to the guy who made this. Beautiful, well done, sir 👏 ❤

[@chrisgonzalez91]

This video reminded me that I need to watch all of this directors filmography! My goodness! Such a great edit

[@Largentina.]

He's amazing and has maybe one or two movies that aren't great, everything else is fantastic.

[@LochTaupo]

This video just made my Sunday evening. Many thanks from Australia.

[@crazygamertr2726]

Perfect music choice btw.

[@fernandobarrera6440]

I dont know why, but the shot of the lens moving across Depp’s shoulders as hes “looking over his shoulders” is something that’s always stuck with me.

[@leehaza]

i call these moments... michael mann moments... my favourite director... of all time. thank you sir

[@denisefreitas6727]

Mann is a unique director. Loved the video, very imersive. ❤

[@SamM_Scot]

One of the all-time great filmmakers. Classics 'Manhunter' and 'The Last of the Mohicans' are must-watch movies :-)

[@tommyharmon214]

Michael Mann mastered cinematography. His films are precise, beautiful and visually masterful. The actors and the settings are one and not separate. Ergo, poetry in motion. The most underrated director of our time.

[@JohnSmith-ki2mr]

Such beautiful imagery. Mann just great director with style.

[@Jackdm2049]

Oh man, the ultimate.

[@mikebelcher7244]

Moby, the OG icon for all us old school ravers, went above and beyond when he created this musical masterpiece, the perfect accompaniment for this fantastic montage of some of the most memorable and visually stunning cinematography committed to film. There is something truly unique in the way Mann sees the world and then shows us what he sees. This was a great video, really ❤

[@narurumon1897]

These scenes all gave me a feeling of loneliness and beeing lost in the world. But it's not a cold or clinical feeling like i get from the work of Nicolas Winding Refn. These scenes from Michael Mann feel very human, very warm and loving. Like a person with a lot of pain is watching those people in the movie from a far or an angel who is watching the life of the humans and who feels sad for them because he cannot do anything for them. He can just watch their struggle of being a human being. That is what i felt watching this video.

[@cinemagoose]

I literally finished watching Heat not two minutes ago, after watching Thief for a class. What are the odds?!

[@idoperetz746]

Absolutely beautiful

[@Jimmy1982Playlists]

Sublimely transcendent! 😍

Thank you for making this. You truly are a Fan of Mann.

[@floydianpink2524]

Wow, what a video, what a director!! Fantastic content.

[@SnookerFan-kl1jj]

One of the all time great directors. Criminally overlooked by the academy, Mann directed not one but three movies in the 90s that could all be considered a masterpiece.

[@kuusakat1308]

yup and he's also direted multiple masterpiece worthy films both before and after that.

[@padraigdon1657]

I wish you use Reprise version of this music since it's my favorite than original but other than that glad you made Michael Mann tribute video! ;)

[@josephbarnhurst3181]

One of my favorites of all time. Thank you

[@xXBoommeXx]

Wow man, what a nice tribute this is. Captivating! Michael Mann's night scenes are always a piece of art.

[@Andre-hz6rs]

Espetacular, ótima trilha e uma bela fotografia do diretor michael mann 😯

[@balthazar3526]

I've been subconsciously looking/waiting for this. Excellent job. I'll loop this to the Manhunter and Insider themes. Many thanks

[@salvatoremazzella206]

It would be nice to do The Beauty Of with a cinematographer, like Greig Fraser, or even a production studio, such as Pixar or Cartoon Saloon

[@Sanzharinho]

What a beautiful video, man. Thank you so much. I don't know why but everytime i hear this Moby tune i immediately remember 'Heat' final scene and goosebumps start running all over my body

[@NoHomage]

I love Micheal Manns use of digital. using the form to create cinematic language. magic.

[@aapox]

My all time favourite director. Stunning edit, great job💯 would love to see edit of Mann’s Public Enemies, it has some beautiful shots as well.

[@douglasburgdorff9649]

Stunning edit

[@Kotv6Vfg1]

Nice choice of scenes...Love it!

[@letoddfrank]

The fact that there's no cinematography reel of Lucasz Zal's work on KZbin is astonishing.

[@NeonPalm90210]

Goosebumps!

[@mouradmhm3244]

Michael Mann's films are crafted for the rebellious, unconventional man who possesses a keen sense of style and aesthetics.

[@dannywaters7827]

manhunter 1 of my favorite films,the lighting is amazing, as are all of his films,

[@alexcamacho4880]

Love all of my Michael Mann's movies, but my favorite is still Thief. James Cann should have at least been nominated for the Academy Award.

[@veselinvasilev9362]

Thank you!

[@parthkhare9960]

Exceptional edit

[@Bobywan75]

I'm not necessarily a big fan of this director but I can't help to watch the ending chase scene of the Last of the Mohicans when I stumble upon it, it's one of my favorite cinema moment ever, truly haunting.

[@ayushmaanshrotriya3677]

The choice of music is apt

[@jeashillelal7805]

Really love this Would appreciate if you could list down movie titles that was used for the video Michael Mann is a terrific director and again thank you for compiling this

[@micheleazzu]

You should have included the first episode of Tokyo Vice season 1, Mann's directing was incredible there!

[@jordanwaga3858]

Have you done don’t worry darling? It’s a incredible and beautiful movie

[@djelilvideos1429]

YES! YES! AWESOME!

[@Vakushka]

Perfect

[@marshayame]

what a filmmaker!

[@IamZardoz]

To me Micheal Mann and Ridley Scott are the two greatest visualist directors alive today.

[@juanfra3544]

Magnificent video with the film director, Rhapsody in blue: Very few directors have portrayed the nocturnal atmosphere of modern cities like Mann, which means that many of his most iconic images tend to have bluish tones and a certain metallic texture that, of course, rhymes with the psychological processes of his characters. Moby's music, thanks to the movie Heat I started following him.

[@lucaconforti9394]

amazing work as always! could you do a video on pierpaolo pasolini?

[@peterfrank3365]

Michael Mann, a master of atmosphere.

[@ivodassen87]

Love the inclusion of the Keep, great cinematography in that movie

[@gustavocarvalho6986]

One of the greatest directors/auteurs of modern cinema

[@MyOaAesis]

Best video to date

[@shawnb3245]

The Insider is criminally underrated
