The Beauty Of Project X

This video is somewhat of a passion project regarding one of my favorite movies, Project X and later on becomes a bit of a commentary about the current state of Hollywood and also is a commentary about the beauty of the lost art that is simple and experimental unique movies. This is a new type of video for me so let me know if you guys like it and enjoy!

I watched this movie for the first time during my early teenage stoner years and it actually had me sat there contemplating if I would ever experience a party this incredible….. it’s 6 years later and no one’s having party’s anymore

[@SaucyTUX]

I remember thinking the same thing when I saw this film

[@cwcpants140]

Same lol 30 now and havent been to any parties that were like that. Closest i got was when we wrecked the basement of an ex homies parents house 💀

[@lofer9138]

honestly i don’t even think it’s possible, understandably no one’s willing to risk it😭

[@blackogjesus8350]

Damn that's disappointing I really wanna party somewhat like this. The only one I went to a female friend found on Facebook at some dudes Apt. We was there for like 20 minutes, a fight broke out and cops came then me and her walked 7 miles till we bumped into a McDonald's with Internet so she could call someone to pick us up. I was so mad cause I got no action and spent hours walking on a humid night with her. I never saw her again nor been to a party after that. I would've smashed her if I was the fuhk boy I am now. I liked her when I was in the 10th and she was 11th grade but rumors were she was blowing 2-4 guys in construction class so those feelings faded fast. ( I was a naive simp back then, the first day I met her she was in a tiny red dress with her booty popping out plus intentionally bending over in a class full of guys and she was like 1 outta 6 girls in the class lol) Then she suddenly liked me when I was in 11th grade and she was in 12th grade and was chasing after me pretty hard. I feel bad for the idiot who married her and put kids in her Btw sry the story is all over the place I just realized but pretty much the order is bottom to top.

[@chrislail3824]

Total guilty pleasure movie for me. There used to be a guy that lived in my city that threw an annual Halloween party that grew to be this big and wild. You have no clue how insane it is being at a party this big, like 2000 people all wearing costumes jammed into a house and backyard going completely insane. Way Too Much Fun. I’m lucky to have been to parties this damn big and crazy.

[@marycafe7233]

I wanted but in my city theres nothing

[@Liam-ig6hf]

My favorite moment is a deleted scene in the unrated version where Dax is under a table and talking to the camera and he says he’s never been to a party ever and thanks Thomas and Costa for letting him be a part of the whole thing. It’s unironically poignant as fuck

[@meekyfreaky1786]

The interview at the end with costa is a reenactment of a real interview of a guy that threw a crazy banger

[@chrislail3824]

This is basically based off of a true story about that guy

@@chrislail3824 really?? I wonder how close it was to the actual event. Obviously there wouldn't have been a madman with a flamethrower... But you get the idea.

[@mariomontero7721]

It was probably inspired from him however project x crew didn’t admit to this as it would’ve meant they basically encourage people to do the same in real life

[@vivalasammm]

i went to a project x party that someone from my high school threw at an abandoned house, they even spray painted "X" on the walls 😂it ended up in all of us running from the cops lol. it was honestly crazy the impact this movie had, it's like a perfect time capsule of how the youth felt and was in the 2010s.

Was a great time to be in high school when this movie came out. Like a year later before my senior year, a buddy of mine got talked into throwing our version of "Project X" a couple weeks before the school year. His step dad had this gigantic, really nice house up a private road. Multiple levels, huge patio, it had everything. Man I'll never forget that night.

[@gorshhorsh]

At this time if an address got leaked that might’ve been having a party it didn’t matter who or where, there’s going to be a clusterfuck of people from all walks pulling up. The more alcohol and resources the bigger the party always. This was attempted many times and never truly met ProjectX expectations but it inspired and I’m sure a couple people got pretty close. Being 16 and a degenerate to the max when this came out is peak nostalgia.

[@bboybryce27]

The 2012 end of the world thing started because that was as far as the Mayan calendar went. Everyone was sort of like "they predicted thousands of years into the future, why did they stop in 2012." Most of us thought it to be a joke, some took it seriously

[@badillofernandezjuliana1261]

Project X is a great film, I say this because of the great work behind the production , the scenes, all the scenes in which they use fire in a controlled manner, pretending the "light grenades", that was also a detail that impressed me a lot in the professionalism/creativity of the scenes, the helicopters that began to drop water on of the house since it had started to catch fire, but the influence that the film had on people made me consider it very absurd, It really surprises me how people think they could live a party like that/live to tell the tale after living it, the format they used for the scenes was everything, and I wonder, ¿a party like that could be done in real life in a way responsible/clearly intelligent?, the people who tried to organize their own project... ,they are not very smart people, they put people's lives at risk according to the news and I don't even want to imagine the financial debt that this also caused them, no matter who it was. Yes, a project X can be carried out, but many things would have to be taken into account to avoid ending up looking like a person without two fingers in front It could be an event, but not in a neighborhood house 💀

Part of me is glad i didnt find project x until i was out of high school, because it would have made me feel the same way, that i had/was pissing away my high school years, but i feel like the fact that ive found it now and in a much different place that i can look fondly onto what COULDVE been instead of what SHOULDVE been. Do i still loathe the fact that i was pretty much dax without the invite to the party, yes but i also get the comfort in the idea that i can be JP, just get to experience the fun without having to take much of the flak at the end of the day if i play my cards right. Project x is an experience alone and im glad its around to show others what can happen in all the idiocracy drugs and booze but leave them up to when they feel its too much for them, they could be a straggler at the party stepping out when it starts getting larger than their HS population, or when it hits their town over craigslist, maybe you never left the party til the drugaddict with the flamethrower popped up. Project x is beautiful because its what could have been, what should have been and what should never be.

Search for the 'Adidas House Party' video. The director is the same guy who directed Project X (this was his first feature film), and I'm pretty sure that the shots inside the party were filmed taking that specific video as reference, considering that was his most famous work by that time. That's why the producer hired him for this movie.

It sounnds crazy but for those years we had full blown riots. Talking flipping cars , burning shit, knocking down light poles, i literally saw 200 feet of space between my dorm go from empty to fillled side to side wrecking anything they could, it was wild.
