Concrete Nightmare | The City as Capitalist Critique in Film Noir
Просмотров 733 месяца назад
American Film Noir is a genre known for its explicit aesthetic, gritty atmosphere, and political contexts, but what is the relationship between the three? Today, I seek to answer that question by analyzing the cinematic representation of city spaces in film noir to perform a capitalist critique I argue is key to understanding the movement.

I Care a Lot Vs Nightcrawler: Following the Anti-Hero
Просмотров 193Год назад
Rosamund Pike stars as a greedy capitalistic guardian in the 2020 film I Care a Lot, a film that unabashedly follows an "anti-hero." However, I Care a Lot flounders in its attempt at convincing the audience to actually follow the protagonist on her journey to moral decay. On the other hand, the 2014 thriller Nightcrawler perfected the anti-hero story, somehow providing the audience with a hero ...

    Yo keep going man, I checked out some of your videos and I really like your style. You remind me a lot of myself, since I believe our views and taste line up a lot and I always thought of starting a youtube channel where I just yap about the things I like constructively to anyone who would listen. My advice is to aim so your videos are a bit shorter, personally I love long essays, but maybe new people might be drawn to 7-9 minute videos where you just tackle the point, and garnish it with personal experience. Unrelated to this video but I also adore invincible and spiderman, they are my 2 favorite characters in fiction probably :) Keep up the good work, more people are gonna notice your intelligent takes 😉

    This is honna be a bit nitpicky but in 4:45 you put The Muppets take Manhattan when mentioning that they had "starred in their own solo movie" implying that it was the first, when it was actually the third one, i think you got this confused with the original Muppet Movie. You also mentioned Christmas Carol and Tresure Island right after like they were made riding off the succes of the original movies and the show when in reality they were made after Jim Henson's passing and when they weren't nearly as famous as they once were. This is still a great video though, you really captured what makes The Muppets so special

    In october of 2010, I was able to meet Dave Goelz, the man who has been Gonzo, Zoot, Dr. Honeydew and sooooo many others since these characters appeared in The Muppet Show, and due to this I was able to see him perform Gonzo live for the audience, adlibbing and interacting in character with the general public. And I think the fact that, even then as I saw this man hold up his arm and working this puppet, it never really felt like it broke the illusion. And I really think that's the genius of these characters.

    1. The muppets primarily target is kids and maybe a few adults like myself. 2. The reasons why disney is not doing much with the muppets is because kids nowadays play fortnite and minecrafts and don't care about the muppets 3. Mickey mouse is not real you send the essay to nobody. 4. This is important, STOP HATING ON DISNEY!!!

    • @ozharms
      @ozharms 3 месяца назад

      1. Jim Henson intended the Muppets for a multi-generational audience. The Muppets are for everybody. 2. You say that as if it’s fact. Lots of kids care about the Muppets. I believe the reason Disney doesn’t do much is because they prioritize more popular assets like Marvel and Star Wars, assets that they know for SURE do well. Disney just doesn’t know what to do with them these days. 3. Of course Mickey isn’t real. It’s called “fiction” and “plot vehicle.” 4. It’s perfectly fair to criticize Disney, especially if you think about all the crap they’ve done. No one’s hating on Disney here.

    yooo this is crazy good and cozy -- i like the format a lot; kinda reminds me of Bo Burnham's "Inside" (just like, in the way the talking parts are shot). to me, most people who make "vlogs" are less meta-focused and way more content-focused, which loses a lot of room for creativity/ingenuity in edit, if they even have the capacity for it in the first place (although I used to think Casey Neistat's stuff was pretty good, and some cool travel/exploration/survival vlogs). "art" needs a process; you can make the mundane look beautiful through a process, and it's even easier to make the spectacular look lazy without one. I love Nick Drake and all the other music!

    I’ve loved the Muppets all my life - and yeah, I remember the Jimmy Dean show. I had the great pleasure of working for Children’s Television Workshop for several years as a freelance illustrator in NYC. I drew Muppets for a living. The BEST was when I could take my sketches over to the Workshop, to be blue-lined before I moved forward to completed artwork. This is where they built the puppets, and where the Henson Studio offices were. I’ve shook Kermit’s hand, patted Miss Piggy’s beautiful snout, and been introduced to Gonzo and his chicken lady friends. I loved every minute of those years, and looked forward to dropping off my drawings and picking up a new job. Jim Henson was a mighty man who possessed a great, leaping soul. He was a genius who made the whole world better, and when he left - he took the light with him.

    Beautiful video my friend, you are great at what you do and it's obvious by your dedication and willingness to learn and grow. Although I am not super artistic, I can definitely relate to the fear of something not being good enough or not worth while. I have recently started to try to switch my though process around, and instead of thinking "What if a can't do it", I try to think "What if this actually works", which has given me more reason to push forward and try new things. I really resonate with this video, and I'm excited for what life has in store for you.

    On that beginning skit, the I wouldn't really say that the MCU has had a massive drop in quality. If anything, they're about the same quality as past titles. I don't know why there's a sudden shift in the narrative, that this quality makes all Marvel projects shit now, but they're not really any worse and they're just as enjoyable. Sure, there are a few rough ones, but it depends on the project. Just look at all the well-received projects, like Loki, Spider-Man: No Way Home, Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, WandaVision, Moon Knight, Werewolf By Night, The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, and Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3. Not to mention unfairly hated ones like Thor: Love and Thunder and She-Hulk (just hear me out here, I'm not a film critic. I'm an average movie-goer. I walk in to a movie expecting to have a good time, and the MCU has mostly done a good job at being a good time). The MCU isn't the best superhero media out there, but it's not awful.
