Hot Fuzz and Scott Pilgrim are two of my favourite examples of top notch filmmaking. Not just the writing and directing, but all the cuts, interstitials, jokes, pacing, everything. They're perfection.
@davideberhardt61503 ай бұрын
YES! The rate in which Scott Pilgrim fires its jokes, puns and just clever gags from every angle and in every direction is mind-melting. It's everywhere, from the images, cuts, editing as such, music, sound FX and of course dialogue & acting. It's incredibly rewatchable, much like Hot Fuzz (Pegg & Frost even have a cameo in the Scott Pilgrim series)
@Pheenixz2 ай бұрын
My favourite example of this from Scott Pilgrim is the sequence where Knives goes to his apartment to find him and the door is answered by his roommate. That whole exchange where Scott is kinda visible, then hidden, then jumps out of the window and leaves behind Knives is so well choreographed that you almost forget about the dialogue, which just reinforces the humour of the situation.

I remember having chats with friends when I was a kid inspired by all the action movies we watched and how we would make action flick. To me Edgar Wright is what you get when you follow through and keep going. Anyone out there feels that spark should follow it.

This is one of the most re-watchable films of all time. There's SO much detail in what's happening, what's said and what the actors are doing that you won't get it all on the first, second or even third viewing. I've seen this movie at least 20 times and I still laugh at something I missed the first 19 times I saw it. Edgar Wright was the original director hired to do the first "Antman" and I do wonder how that would have turned out. My understanding is that the studio and he couldn't see eye to eye on how to shoot it. I imagine Edgar wanted to do more of a comedy spin and the studio didn't quite want to go that far, though the version they got does have quite a bit of comedy in it.

just yesterday I was rewatching your video on Shaun of the Dead - and now this. What is this? Christmas?

Wright Pegg and Frost and all those who sailed with them. From Spaced to Baby Driver to Mission Impossible and beyond. I have really enjoyed the ride these guys have taken us on.

It was filmed in Wells in rural Somerset. We got married in the town hall depicted in the shootout (left 1st floor window) My wife says it’s not entirely inaccurate portrait of British rural policing, esp. cake for misdemeanours. The ww2 ammo dump is surprisingly close to reality. Everyone grows apples, Everyone and their mums has guns, but you never ever see them.

Its honestly one of the greatest films of all time. When i first watched it i loved it, then i watched it again and loved it more, then again and even more and now i must've seen it a few dozen times and its arguably my favourite film ever.

Its crazy how films i grew up with and adored as a kid have already become the types of films people make video essays about on end

Can you keep record on the description of the video of the titles given to video and how many views it was when you changed, I'm curious to find out what triggers people 😅

Edgar Wright and Wes Anderson are so unique and distinct you can tell within seconds of the film hands down my two favorites.

The training montage early in the film is very reminiscent of Internal Affairs. Couldn’t unsee it after I realized!

Until he stops making them :) Which will also hopefully be never. I feel we’re due for another banger from him soon.

when I was a teenager the first movies I ever recorded off tv on vhs were Highlander and Bloodsport. I must have seen both movies hundreds of times each. Hot Fuzz is the only other movie I watched nearly as often.

My wife and I saw Shaun of the Dead on a whim, knowing nothing about it, about Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, nothing. Walked out massive, instant fans. But going into it, Hot Fuzz seemed like a very different thing for him to take on. And yet... it is such an incredibly crafted film that it seems completely effortless. It walks all these genre boundaries and crossovers perfectly and entertains with every frame. It just doesn't get much better, you know?

I don't think I go a week without a hot fuzz reference. It's definitely a top 5 for me.

Hot Fuzz is a masterpiece. And I do not throw that word around lightly. The script is amazing and it's perfectly cast and directed.

Hot Fuzz is my favorite movie to watch and reference when I just want to relax and laugh. So quotable.

It's absolutely awesome how Hot Fuzz is basically just a higher budget version of a previous film. Inspirational even.

3:49 I believe the switch happened just a tad earlier with the red taillights of the car lighting them up red just like the scene reminiscent in Goodfellas with the red taillights where there was no going back to the way things were.

The strange thing about Hot Fuzz is that I didn’t really think much of it when I first watched it. It was only after repeat viewings that I grew to really like it, then really really appreciate it.

I love the breakdowns you do, breaking down scenes and explaining the techniques. Hot Fuzz is actually my favourite movie of all time. On a slight tangent. Just a couple of nights ago I watched Godzilla Minus One. So impressed with the movie. It's very efficient with its filmmaking, jumping into the next timeframe can be very sudden, but there is some genuinely beautiful cinematography, great score and emotive acting performances.

great video as always and absolutely legendary screenplay, but man that sounded like some sheer exhaustion in the outro, hope you're doing okay with all the strikes and any other stuff going on
