freddie is a fucking pedophile bro my ass does not give a shit about freddie lmao my god PTA's movies are such dogshit

Just stooping by, and search new Antonioni essays here on yt. I know yours' not new, but it's my first time seeing it. Besides all you said, I enjoyed the choice you made about the music. That guitar song, I know it's part of the movie (in the hotel with the swimming pool, to name it), do you know that song? I'm from Portugal, but I love popular songs from Spain. This is a traditional tune from Catalonia (having been interpreted by the great Joan Manuel Serrat, too. That's how I got to know it), and it's called "La mort del lladre". Well, now that I have the opportunity, and I haven't read any critic talking about it (at the moment, I own and read twelve books about MA: he's my favorite visual artist), let me say, as you already know, that nothing that appears, visually or audibly, in Ma's films are meaningless. Translated and briefly, "La mort dell lladre", means "the death of the robber" and, the lyrics end with him paying for his crime: to steal. (in the song the penalty is apparently lighter: he ends up in prision. Unless if we want to see those bars as his kind of prision... It would match perfectly) So, here's my humble contribution. 😊 Thanks for your video. Do you want to make one for L'eclisse? Or (my MA favorite, though far from his best) Zabriskie Point?

one of my favorite books. You can feel the presence of rebecca in the other book by dumarier titled "my cousin rachel"

Joaquin's best performance in my opinion. And one of PS Hoffman's best. This movie is so much more than the Joker. And yet the Joker has really high ratings, while the Master is underrated. Everything from sub-text to film-making wise is far superior to the Joker. I really believe that the Joker will not date well. But The Master will be more appreciated as the years pass.

I just watched this last night and was completely drawn in by it.

Very helpful, the movie is so vague and enigmatic, good perspective here

David (Hume) / (John) Locke: British empiricists, for whom only observable experience matters in constructing meaning, embodied in a British man raised in America, a nation in which self-reinvention amd escaping one's past is an obsession.

Jane Fontaine??? Maxim's impotence? Lesbian relationship?? Rebecca's death was NOT a murder in the movie, only in the book! What movie were you watching? You didn't mention the most glaring absence from the film... HER name!!

This is basically an existential film if you touch on existentialism it runs parallel with the basics of the philosophy. How to remain authentic in an absurd world.

It's not Mandaly: it's Manderly...Man-DER-ly.

This film is way betyter than the Marlowe film Marlowe, with James Gardner, whjich is flimed very similarly, that film I think is the worst Marlowe film ever made.

At the time very inltersting casting. Nina Van Palandt I think her name was, was involved in teh phony Howard Hughes novel, and got this role. Jim Boton, a former baseball player had a few years before written BALL FOUR, which made a lot of baseball players angry because he exposed many to how they were. Finally even Arnold Scwarzenneger, who had really no acting up to that time, maybe this one HERCULES IN NEW YORK I Think. What was also interesting to note, and not mentioned any where of the analysis that I have seen yet, in Chandlers book SPOLER ALERT, Marlone does not kill Bouton character. First time I saw the film, was on networki TV. Yes cut of course, but what I actually found more effective, was when Marlowe kills the guy at the end, we only see him pulling out the gun and firing. I saw it in the theater later, and sure enough felt the seeing Bouton's characer falling into the water not as effective. Finally while the iflm first time really bombed, I think it was rereleased the same year, and did much better.

There are two othr films. One with Jeremy Brett, the second with Charles Dance.

Poetic. Simple plot , yet poignant insights brought out by enigmatic usage of motion picture and acoustic guitar.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE 🍿. But, I cannot tell you why. I own several different posters for the movie.🎥

I liked your video. One of my favorite films. It is like being in a dream that turns into a nightmare.

He was riding through the Irish countryside

A lot of people seem to miss that Dodd is portrayed purposefully as a fool most of the time, to the audience. In fact, he is so self-deluded that he comes off as the 'animal' moreso than Freddy, who just is. Freddy fulfills a need in Dodd's life that is otherwise absent. The scene with Freddy and Winn in bed is important. It shows how Freddy has taken something from Dodd's teachings, but left behind all the bullshit. He appropriates Dodd's mindgame and uses (subconsciously) it as a way to find a deeper connection to Winn. Freddy doesn't need to "return his mind to perfection", he just needs love and connection, and he takes what he learned from Dodd (NOT what Dodd was teaching him) and applies it in order to get what he needs. I hate to say this but it's almost as if Freddy has become his own Master. ugh. sorry.

I was confused at how he died at the end.

Please continue making videos, I love your takes. Thanks!

That's a great undersranding of what "The Master" is about. Of course, like you said, "The Master" has many themes in it, but by the end of the film it is about Freddy Kuell. That was definitely missed on me the first, and only time I saw the film. I had a cynical look on the film. I thought it was trying to say how all people are messed up and can't change for the better. That take on it was probably more a reflection of my own perspective on my own life at the time than an accurate understanding of "The Master." Glad to get another perspective on the film. Thanks.

It’s maxim not Maxine And it’s Joan not Jane This is my favourite movie I love it and to hear the actors names mispronounced just gets on my wick ! As for mrs Danvers I’m not convinced she was a lesbian but she might have been intoxicated by Rebecca’s beauty as it seems most people were ! Rebecca was I feel the ultimate malignant narcissist with her charm and beauty covering a can of ugly worms and of course all her flying monkeys like mrs Danvers and her creepy cousin Favell Who is so smarmy and in his own way very handsome , giving us a clue to the breathtaking beauty his cousin Rebecca must have had and his vile personality which must be similar to Rebecca’s/ not forgetting their incestuous affair which might have produced an imposter heir ! God certainly struck down those two creeps . I read the sequel I don’t recommend it It spoilt my imagined future of the new Mrs and Mr De Winter , but to give you a clue my imagination was a lot kinder to them than the author of the sequel was ….

*He is not MaxIME!* SURELY you watched the film. *MAXim.* And ManderLEY does not have LAY at the end! Basic respect to author and actors: *pronounce words correctly.* 😡😡😡😡

I was keen to watch this review, but find it seriously wanting in proper adult insight. Time to stop ( 3:45 )

NO WORD OR THOUGHT of Maxim as impotent! This is a trash point from 70+ years on, unworthy of mature analysis. Also NO MENTION of a 2-way lesbian relationship. Mind out of gutters please.

There is NO MURDER in the film! Watch it again. Censors would not allow a murderer to go unpunished - so it was changed to Rebecca's fall and hitting her head on hard metal.

Not you too! 😵‍💫😡 LISTEN to both Joan (even in her very first line) and Laurence. ManderLEE! MandaLAY is a city in Burma. It's *basic respect* to pronounce correctly.

A most important element that you forgot: The name of Rebecca is the most important element in the movie. That the name of the 2nd Mrs DeWinter is NEVER mentioned is a brilliant way to further highlight this element.

Well, let me weigh in here. I was actually AT that Tarrytown screening in January 1973 (thanks for mentioning it). I was applying to NYU filmschool and my parents gave me the Judith Crist Weekend as a Christmas present. Unlike the previous time Altman was there, playing nothing but his films, this time they chose to play all the previous Marlowe films, after which we piled onto buses and drove to a "sneak preview" of TLG the weekend before it was to open. Altman, his editor Louis Lombardo, and the United Artists suits were all in the back of the mall theatre. And the audience - many of whom had just watched six or seven vintage Philip Marlowe films - HATED it. And (I'm not kidding) directly attacked Altman to his face at a Q&A back at Tarrytown ("you're just a 45-year-old man trying to be 'with-it.'") UA pulled the next weekend's release and didn't bring it out for eight or nine months (with the MAD Magazine artwork). (You can track down a "Saturday Review" article about this, written by Playboy's film critic Bruce Williamson - I'm the film student mentioned in the article.). Fortunately the film survived all this crap, and now it's considered as one of Altman's finest - but this weekend's screening definitely slowed down his momentum. And I was there.

アントニオーニの映画はほぼ観たけど、これが一番印象深い。

Excellent analysis.

good stuff

People don't now that in the 1930's and 40's when the seal of approval by the censors flashed on the screen n the theater, the audience booed!

I was listening to an interview with a cult expert & she said this was the best movie she’d ever watched about cults. That’s how I found you & this video. Well done. Thank you.

Lesbian relationship between Danvers & Rebecca? Doubt it! Impotence? They didn't talk about sex. How did you come to that conclusion? Cause you didn't see them riding each other?

Thanks, Max. Great job.

This was so so beautiful man. At the end of the video, I literally said ‘wow’. Its such a great feeling when you find someone who felt the same way as I felt about, understood the same way as I understood and loved the same way as I loved this often misunderstood, polarising, underrated masterpiece. I think thats what a sense of community and belonging is.

U sound like Andrew Tate

I watched this all the way through hoping to maybe get some insight into this very interesting and very frustrating movie--when you said "I don't know what I'm talking about," I know that's being honest and I really appreciate that but I felt sucker punched all the same--The caliber of film comment or analysis is pretty awful these days and I feel like that has something to do why movies have gotten so awful--have people just given up thinking ?

This made my day. Thank you.

So glad you were able to make this video. This is one of my favorite films, and your observations bring out things I didn't notice and many things I didn't know with regards to the director. Love the content!

JOAN, JOAN, JOAN, Let's end this!

This movie falls into the untamable man genre, like Cool Hand Luke, Bronson, or Raging Bull.

Love this amazing movie... the later duel scene is my fave, but there is so much subtext throughout... you captured some of it here. Ty

Really appreciate your thoughts on this watched through to the end & will be watching more

I love The Long Goodbye so much, and your analysis of it only deepened my appreciation for the film. Thank you for that.

My (born in the 40s) dad's initial thoughts on this movie were as you described for the audience familiar with previous incarnations of the characters. On introducing me to the movie, he told me it took him a second viewing to appreciate what Altman was doing. Loved your analysis of a movie; it was the first time I had seen characters in a movie talking over each other. Made me think that stories can be successfully told in an unfamiliar way. subscribed for more of your thoughts : )

In the movie, it's definitely implied they have sex on their honeymoon. Maxim drops a giant bouquet of flowers into her lap in the car and she orgasmically coos, "How perfectly lovely, how perfectly lovely." The second time she says this is ADR'd so Hitchcock is deliberately emphasizing it. Later, when they watch the home movies of this honeymoon at the mansion (which undercuts this essay's point that the honeymoon is "never shown" -- it is, in this scene), we see them goofing around together and eating delicious meals. All that indulgence and sensuality disappears only in the mansion, under the all-seeing eye of his dead first wife. I think this video essayist could stand to give the film a few more rewatches.

Lovely! Just lovely! So the British Army are in lavish colors for a VERY specific reason- you can't see blood on their uniforms. They choose that color because of the blood camouflage. Pretty cool, no?
