My interpretation of the movie is that we experience humanity through the eyes of an alien. Everything looks familiar, but also detached. Like the scenes in which she's walking through Scotland and she just observes the people and their lives. I think in the movie, the aliens ate the meat or used it as some sort of liquid. I also thought they used the skin as hides or covers. The baby scene at the beach to me is a reflection of nature and how uncaring it is. The waves didn't help the baby, nor the rocks. It made me recall how brutal and indifferent nature truly is. The cake scene was my favourite, because it looked like some sort of weird, delightful, odd element that the Alien Creature tried to enjoy, but she couldn't because she has no digestive system and I guess it's like eating couch foam to us. The alien tries to become human, but this leaves it open to be attacked by humans.

Great review, I really didn't care for for movie. Your review made me see things different, but I was disappointed that the sex scenes were not good.

I watched it yesterday and these where things that I did not like, but I really also did like the fact that it was clear that she felt really guilty abut the affair and really tried to restore the relationship with her man (to her capacity). So much more realistic and female friendly then other movies. Many critics online say that the movie justifies cheating as a woman, but to me the movie did not do this at all! As a Dutch women I am proud of 'our' Haline Reijn!

The Blu-Ray of the 1979 version (which is the first Dracula film I ever saw) has both the theatrical version (with the full colour palette) and the Director's Cut (with the muted colours). The 1977 version is actually my favourite version. It does lag in places, but that's because it's following the book quite closely.

@24:41, one positive thing about the 1992 version was that it explained Renfield's insanity and connection to Dracula, as well as giving a nod to the 1931 version. It's mentioned early on that Renfield was a partner at the law firm Harker works for. He, apparently, had gone to Transylvania to meet Dracula and (either there or after returning) cracked up and was put into Seward's asylum. Thus, Harker (the junior most solicitor at the firm) is sent in Renfield's place.

There is so much to discuss and appreciate about this movie- you're right, the marketing made it look more like a slightly-more-sophisticated '50 Shades of Grey' than the unpredictable social commentary that it was. That amazingly awkward hotel scene where they're both trying to figure out their roles was....something else. I wonder if Romy's psychological desires are in any way rooted to her having been raised in a cult (since cults are all about control- or it could be because of shame around sexuality in general). I also liked Kidman's line about resenting her husband for not knowing who she really was. Recovering from being a people-pleaser is a lifelong process- unlike in the movies, it's something that you have to keep reminding yourself to do until it becomes second nature. Speaking of which... I might be alone in this, but I found Esme's speech at the end really off-putting. It kind of sounded like straight blackmail, and that Esme was blaming Romy for the entire affair (again, coming back to that trope of the woman always being the one to get punished for having an affair). She implied that she had lost respect for Romy because of the affair, but would continue to keep up appearances as long as she got what she wanted. The part about "creating more opportunities for women" in the company didn't make much sense, since there didn't appear to be a power gap between women and men at that company at all (or if there was, maybe I was too dense to see it). I 100% agree that the score/soundtrack was absolute fire. The use of breathing that sounded kind of like throat-singing in tension building scenes was fantastic- as was the "Father Figure" scene! (I'd also be curious to get your take on the Milk Scene!)

I'm so glad I have finally seen a review of this film that addresses those very unladylike O's! It's hard to overstate how radical those moments are in a mainstream movie starring an A-list actress. I saw it on Xmas with a girlfriend and her husband, and we were both like, "Yeah, if it's real, it's usually not pretty."

I read the book many years ago, and it was the most frightening book I ever read. I saw 89 movie 🎥 right after it came out. The book was so much better.

The issue I have always had with Rice's work is that she needed an editor, but would never allow her books to be edited. I believe that every writer benefits from a good editor.

This was my favorite book and movie as a young teenager. Thank you for your channel. It’s simply the best! 🎉

Same. I'm still trying to figure out the metaphor behind the "automating" work scenes too.

Fantastic review! Personally I much prefer the movie version as Campion and and the cast really played their parts to absolute perfection and then some. ^^:)

This might be unrelated, but can you do a Book vs Movie review of “Are you there God? It’s me Margaret”

figura lui Nosferatul ,Nesuferitul,e figura lui Vlad Tepes adevaratul Dracula

This movie just looks like the type of movie that if it was based on a novel, it would have a been based on a solo novel written by E.L James (author of the 50 shades of grey series) from like some years ago. Something just gives the vibe.

I have never read the book. It sounds like the movie subverted some of the characters' goals, like having the main character want to return to small town New England! I didn't know that in the novel she loathed the thought of returning

Great movie and great review, you’re always engaging to listen to. The scene where Nicole Kidman gets naked and the way she covered herself reminded me of Aphrodite. I don’t know if it was deliberate, but Aphrodite is the Goddess of love and the image of her covering herself when naked is symbolic of protecting her power.

I am glad you reviewed this as I also loved it. Marketing was terrible for this but not shocking cause 2024 was the year for horrible mismarketed trailers. I was also surprised to only see men reviewing it on youtube so I will check out your recommendation. Thanks!

I just assumed she'd get punished by the end. The trailer didn't help either. And it's been a while since I last enjoyed Nicole Kidman as an actress. So, I'm glad I clicked on your review.

I feel like I view the elm tree thing being representative of generational trauma as well. Once the girls are gone, the sickness in the trees are gone too.

This movie proves incels right unfortunately.

Great review. I'm so sad that it seems like Nicole will be snubbed at the Oscars.

I read it 1985.

I loved Nosferatu (2024)!

I actually read the book very long ago back in High school and when I was obsessed with the musical. Let me tell you, the book is a lot darker and more political compared to the musical. In the same way Notre Dame Des Paris by Victor Hugo is also different from the Disney movie (prejudice and separation of church and state), this book really has a lot of differences than musical. Some have complained that it does contain R-rated sex scenes but a majority of the book talks loads of things about racism, fighting for equality, fraudulent politics and how gaslighting the public into thinking one group is an “enemy to the people” damages both the individual and everyone’s connection in the process. It really should be studied in schools in the same way all the other classic books have in English Literature class.

It is on my list of movies to watch. 😊.

Omg I wanna see this so bad, will have to return to this vid when I do

Thanks, really want to see this one.

I’m torn between watching Babygirl or Nosferatu this weekend

I looooved it too! Might be the Best Nicole has been since Big Little Lies.

Jaws is one of the only instances where I felt like the movie was better than the book. Even Spielberg said he had to re-imagine the humans when they were making the film, because all the people in the book were just awful. The one thing the book was able to give was the sharks perspective, which was an interesting point. The shark wasn't evil, it was just being a shark.

The original is the best version! The 78 film is too dark, sinister and emotionless even before the characters turned into pod people! Like another sub commented, a lot of the characters were very arrogant and condasending! Siegel also directed the 1st Dirty Harry 🍿🎥 movie which I'm sure you know! This is my 1st time watching your content! Great job! Good luck and take care! ONE LAST THING! You may not want to or be able to do the following suggestions, but I'll mention them anyway! It'd be nice if you commented on original Twilight Zone episodes, as well as reacting to the popular Hitchcock 🍿 films! There is also an original NBC series titled MANIFEST that is now on NETFLIX that I'd like to recommend! It's a paranormal series about a time traveling and parallel reality jumping ✈️ airplane! Good luck and be safe!

This was one of my favourite books as a child. I haven't seen the movie, so I have no opinion on that.

This book is in my personal Wishlist of books I want to read in my lifetime. Sadly, the past-time of reading has drifted away in my life as I grew older and I did not get to read this book but when the Netflix show was released, I immediately binged the whole 1st season in a couple of days. And I have to say probably the best TV show I have watched in a few years. Wish I had read the book beforehand so I could have made a comparison. Now I hope that I would get to watch a live adaption of another book, Paulo Coelho's "The Alchemist" , which I have read before. Honestly, The TV show makes me wanna pick up reading Novels as a past-time again

The real Joan Crawford had OCD because of the cleaning at the time in the late 1930s early 1940s there's no treatment of OCD

The smoke smell was a big characteristic of Pilar Ternera, both Jose Arcadio 2nd and Arcadio 3rd describe her smelling of smoke. Maybe Jose Arcadio 2nd’s death and his body perpetually emanating that smell is that same curse that drew both him and his son to her. 20:44

These are facts, look them up: By 1830, there were 3,775 black slaveholders in the South who owned a total of 12,760 slaves. Half of the black slaveholders lived in cities with most living in New Orleans and Charleston South Carolina. In particular, New Orleans had a large, relatively wealthy free black population. So saying that Louis couldn't be a plantation owner at this time is factually and historically incorrect, They could have very well set this show in the proper time.

Totally agree with you. I do think that the ending of the book regarding Will's family is sad, but also more true to life as this job would take a large toll on his relationship with his family. Completely agreed with the casting of Manhunter - except Philip Seymour Hoffman, who made you strongly dislike him and yet feel like no one deserves what Dollarhyde did to him.

I absolutely adore and am obsessed with the TV adaptation. It’s brilliant!!!!!! I don’t want the book regurgitated on screen- I want something new and incentive- and this show does that beautifully.

Interesting take on the characters but I have a different take as a Gay man who was married to a woman for 19 years before coming out. I related to Lee because there were stark similarities between our lives, except for the drug addiction. I came out in 99’ and involved myself in the sub-cultures of the gay community, or leather community, mainstream gay and the drinking culture. As a newbie, I quickly realized that some younger gay guys were looking for sugar daddies, while some bi-guys had girlfriends, had sex with men too but were in it for the financial aspect of befriending a gay man but never really into loving one. Neither type wanted a committed, younger/older relationships that actually exist for love and companionship. I pegged Allerton as bi guy with a girlfriend. While Allerton may have been physically attracted to Lee, he couldn’t love Lee and have a relationship with him. As for Lee, I related to how his addiction to alcohol distorted his reality. I went into AA at 58 and have been sober since but I’m not sure Lee ever kicked his habit. I didn’t make excuses for his behaviors or actions but saw him as a lonely and troubled man who used alcohol and drugs to escape reality. Yet, I saw both Allerton and Lee as lonely and troubled men who needed to take control-but one representing the younger version and the other the older version of the same person. Addiction = a need to control things according to AA and therapists. My takeaway is I see the snake as addiction and the scene of Lee & Allerton becoming one (after taking the root mixture) as a metaphor that they representd one person and not 2 separate characters.

I agree with everything but have to disagree with Johnson's performance was very good.

My favorite line in the book reads 'We were more at home in dreams than with wives.' This, to me, the point of the story, the eternal struggle for youth.

when (movie) elphaba walked into the Ozdust i said "oh no they're gonna 'Carrie' her at the prom"!

The nameless thing in the attic that is in the book , the people that did the film did a good job to make this nameless thing the fusion between the mother and Jack (very disturbing but it's lovecraft ) and I think they tried to translate how the two talk at each other between the walls (to if here, they talk to each other but very differently how they do not super good sounds that can be a sort of translation of the demonic language). For me , the scene the most disturbing of the film was the fusion between the mother and the son. After this fusion, all the strange other animals are still strange and gross but the most impactful of them all is the spider Mother/Jack monster

Welcome to the world of Micheal Mann. He is an amazing director. That cast was perfect. William Petersen is good in everything he does.

Paraphrase “My father wove a tapestry of obscenities and curse words that as far as we know are still hanging over Lake Michigan” 😂 I love that movie! I’m a POC and the parents in the movie reminded me of my paternal grandparents. My grandmother was a stay at home wife. She was so sweet but firm and my grandfather worked as a military contractor. He thought he was the boss but we all knew the truth. They were joined at the hip. When he died, she followed him 9 months later. The official cause of her death was cancer, but we all know it was from a broken heart.

Great breakdown! Keep at it, you'll get those names down in no time :) Also, "right" counter: 28 +/-

The painting of the "The Thing" movie poster, and all the other paintings, are by movie poster and book cover artist Drew Struzan, it was a nod to him, not The Thing. The painting David is working on in the movie is the cover for Stephen King's book Dark Tower.
