David Matthews - Dune (1977) [Album Retrospective]
Просмотров 2314 месяца назад
David Matthews-a notable arranger, composer, and keyboardist-released his album ‘Dune’ in 1977. This eclectic and somewhat obscure album is a tribute to Frank Herbert’s famous science fiction novel, and attempts to capture the essence and mood of Herbert’s universe through a funky fusion of jazz and symphonic compositions. The album is divided across two sides-with Side 1 entitrely consisting o...
The Shortest Possible Game of Mancala

Using the version of Mancala which I am familiar with (adhering to standard capture rules), I may have found a shortest possible gameplay scenario which is even shorter than what I have been able to find elsewhere online. The best (and lowest) answer to what the shortest possible game of Mancala is (11 moves) is provided here: towardsdatascience.com/simulating-mancala-what-happens-when-i-push-t...
Sunrise (1927) Film Critique

The 1927 film ‘Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans,’ directed by F. W. Murnau, is a visually stunning and timeless masterpiece, which was simultaneously a groundbreaking high point of the silent film era as well as the harbinger of the new sound revolution which would take over the industry. Murnau’s innovative cinematography, visual symbolism, and expressionist aesthetic transcend the limitations of...

Jacques-Louis David’s 'The Coronation of Napoleon:' A New Classical Approach to Political Staging
Просмотров 1 тыс.Год назад
Jacques-Louis David was a Neoclassical painter who used the form and principles of the classical style to imbue an historical weight into his work. One of the clearest examples of this technique may be found in the series of paintings he produced as one of the main political artists under Napoleon’s Republic and eventual Empire.
The Great Escape (1963) Production Design Analysis

The Great Escape, directed by John Sturges, is a classic film that has enduring appeal, due in no small part to its naturalistic and emotive production design which was based off of historical details and personal testimonies.

‘Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood,’ directed by Quentin Tarantino, takes place in Los Angeles in 1969. To create the authentic and detailed sets used in the film, production designer Barbara Ling used her own personal experiences from growing up in the town, reference images, and the collaboration of historical experts and skilled craftsmen who provided the sets with a technical and artistic flare.
Psycho (1998) Scene Analysis
Просмотров 2,7 тыс.Год назад
The 1998 color remake of Psycho, directed by Gus Van Sant, is one of the clearest examples of why Alfred Hitchcock is the Master of Suspense and Van Sant is not. In this analysis of the recreation of the parlor scene, changes made from the original version in choices of shot size, lighting, editing, sound, and more limit the creation and maintenance of suspense.
Psycho (1960) Scene Analysis
Просмотров 12 тыс.Год назад
The classic horror film Psycho (1960), directed by Alfred Hitchcock, is one of the clearest examples of the Master of Suspense’s mastery of suspense. In this analysis of the parlor scene, Hitchcock’s ability to subtly introduce tension into a scene is displayed through his choices made in shot size, lighting, editing, sound, and more.
Once Upon a Time in the West (1968) Film Critique
Просмотров 91 тыс.Год назад
Following the success of his ambitious Dollars Trilogy, Sergio Leone attempted a film in scope larger than any of his previous movies. Like many other fourth films in a director’s canonical filmography, ‘Once Upon a Time in the West’ is the culmination and summation of the earlier three films, as well as a self-referential work which is aware of the expectations of their established directorial...
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1975) Film Critique
Просмотров 6882 года назад
The film One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest, like the majority of the work of acclaimed director Milos Forman, is concerned mainly with the issues of freedom and censorship. By analyzing the first act of the film, one can better understand Forman’s attitudes towards unchecked power in the name of communal prosperity, the reasons behind these beliefs, and the manners in which he relays these opinio...
Nope, they loved each other but it's over.
He was in love with his heart but his brain says she “dangerous” for him. How she set up Odel to be killed was too much for him and gave him pause. He’s older and stuck in his working man ways. I often fantasize that after he tells the potential client to hold on after Jackie leaves he just walks out and heads to the airport because he knows this is the winter of his life and not not now then when? I wish they had a love scene between them at least.
Why didn’t Frank shoot harmonica as a youngster?
Your point was the least unresolved issue for me. It is obvious they had enough life experience to realize they couldn't trust each other and emotions are fleeting. Why was Ordel;s money elsewhere? Why so much trouble getting it into the country when he was freely moving highly sophisticated weapons everywhere without impunity? And how was Jackie going to get the half mil out of the country and into Spain?
Brilliant film, brilliant analysis!
Say what you want about her kyping that 450SL but that’s a shtit hot car in any decade and she’d be a fool not to, especially if the registration was in the glove box.
My favorite Tarantino movie and the ending is one of the reasons. I think that every one of the theories given here is valid. Max doesn't want to make his fantasy a reality, he doesn't trust Jackie nor does he believe that the invitation is a sincere one, and he knows he's safer and more secure staying where he is. I also believe there's another element though. Look at the amounts of money that Max deals with through his job as a bail bondsman: tens of thousands of dollars at a time. Although half a million dollars sounds like a lot of money to a lot of people, it's not that much in the big scheme of things. Because Max is used to dealing with large amounts of cash, he realizes that, with Jackie only in her mid-40's, and he in his mid-50's, that half million is not enough to last them the rest of their lives. At some point, the money will run out, the fantasy life will come to an end, and then what? Return to L.A. together and live on social security? Get "square" jobs? Go back into the bail bond business? And will Jackie be happy with him under those circumstances? You can see all of this going across his face. The money might sustain one of them, but not both. His move to the back of his shop to cry is because of his sadness over all of these things along with having to face down his mortality. At his age, although he's not "old" by any means, this may be his last chance to chase the fantasy. Unfortunately, the move, the woman, and the money aren't enough to make him split. My humble opinion, of course, but as I say this is my favorite Tarantino movie and one of my top movie endings of any film, so I've given it a lot of thought. Really appreciate the analysis in this video!
Thank you for your interpretation, love this film so much
I would rather build this out of wood.
I’m glad you said that because I plan on addressing the relative problems with making the model out of wood in part 2 of this video-which should be finished before the end of this year. But, in short: the weight accumulation with wooden blocks makes it harder to scale up, and the slightest irregularities in the rightness of angles in the blocks create amplified misalignment over greater lengths. The paper method is hollow but sturdy, and just flexible enough to make all the faces and edges flush, level, and even.
@@georgelegobrick You can also make a Level 4 menger cube using legos.
Film complet merci
Pam Grier looked about as good as ever in this film.
guys i think max follows him with his blue car
I’m of the opinion that there should have been an implication they spent the night together. It would have made his motivation stronger, but at the same time some people come into your life and you just kind of go along with their plans.
Jackie wasn't saying what she dis was alright but trying to break out of her ghetto was a day to day fight
Wow, that was nice!! Jackie Brown has always been one of my favorites!!! Well done sir!!!
I always read it like right at the end he realised that she lowkey used him. She has this slightly guilty look on her as she leaves and he looks a bit silly with his lipstick smeared mouth.
I like to think he met her later at least. Prolly not tho. Either way great film. He is the best character to me of all his films and most other films.
Not the last one. That's too Hollywood
Studying this in A level Film studies UK , masterpiece
Absolutely she was way too much trouble 😊
When I first saw the movie, I imagined that Max starts settling his affairs and prepares Winston to take over the bail bond business. Then when he gets the postcard from Jackie, he purchases a ticket to Madrid and joins her. They end up retired together on Majorca.
Minger sponge a.k.a tampon
Romance with dangerous beast. Max is too smart to ruin his live over her.
She said are you sure you won't change your mind ? Meaning she had already asked him ..
great video
Tarantino can't get out of his own fanboy way when making films. It was an extremely unsatisfying ending. We didn't need an extremely long close up of Jackie at the end as she drove away. For a film with so much violence, extreme overuse of the N-word, and stellar cast, a fantastic film ended with a whimper.
I simply admire the way Antony Perkins played Norman Bates.
The ending was a homage to Pam’s film “Sheba Baby”. Watch that movie along with “Coffy” and “Foxy Brown” and you’ll get “Jackie Brown” 🎥 🎞️! And interesting enough I’d say read Elmore Leonard’s “Rum Punch” after watching the movie. You’ll see Quentin’s genius in how he adapted the novel his film! 📕
Yes ❤️

For me Vera Miles' Lila is the pivot character of the film. It could be interpreted that in a metaphysical way she is the resurrected Marion solving her own murder. In any case it is Lila's persistence that solves a lot of what happened. Her scenes in Norman's mother's bedroom and the cellar are terrific - and her scream - well, what a Scream Queen Vera Miles can be. For me that scene is far superior to the shower scene which IMO is a pretty horrible scene to put on film.
I think he went into the bathroom and jacked off
He just didn't QUITE trust her. But! He broke my heart, back to the camera, hugging himself.
Excellent description on the use of light and shadows. I always laugh and snicker when Tarantino tries to include himself on a level with Hitchcock or Kubrick . Nowhere near those guys
💔 so many feeeeelings. that kiss was real tho. I do hope he visits her in Spain.
Nope he won't go to Spain. He doesn't QUITE trust her. I dumped my soul mate for exactly that same reason. (but you don't forget)
Max, the character, was a true stand up guy to the end.
SO good, man, gonna put it on loop while I study
You have to admit Hitchcock did play fair. They DID lay hints that Norman could be the killer early on...
Max Cherry cannot go with Jackie for the same reason Rick cannot leave with Ilsa at the end of Casablanca: HIs moral certitude outweighs his desires.
Brilliant parallel! I can’t believe I hadn’t thought of that, it seems so obvious!
Pam Grier is a stunning woman.
First of all, fantastic editing, pat yourself on the back for that. Second, is this video monetized or did you get a copyright strike? (just curious) Third, I believe he didn't go because it would have been too obvious that they stole the money. It was to protect Jackie, he loved her and didn't want anything bad to ever happen to her. Great video, man!
1. Thank you! 2. I can’t monetize because I haven’t yet passed 1,000 subscribers, but I have no intention to monetize ever really. I make these videos primarily just for fun and my own self-satisfaction, and I’m happy to share them with whoever is interested. This was actually my first video essay and it started off as a written assignment for a college class that I just edited together into a video to better illustrate some of the points. I’ve gotten a few auto-detected copyright issues but I’ve successfully disputed them all as fair use. 3. And that is a good point I hadn’t considered. Max may have said that Jackie only scared him a little, but in his profession (and especially after what he saw happen to Ordell) he knows he should be scared of the ATF most of all…
Very well done, I gotta say, except for "Maybe Max is in the passenger seat". It's just so clear that she's alone. 🎶
I know, that one mistake haunts me! You might be the first to have called it out, though. This video began as an essay assigned for a class and I wrote it based off of just my memory of the movie. The point I had meant to make was that the framing is too tight to tell if it is Max’s car following behind Jackie’s. Somehow I got that mixed up in my head and a few weeks later when I decided to try to turn the essay into a video to better illustrate some of the points, the mistake was translated. I should have noticed the incongruity when combining the footage with the audio of that comment, but I failed to notice there too. (I hear the voiceover lines repeated so much in the course of editing that they become virtually meaningless for a while). It wasn’t until I had posted the video and rewatched it several times with other people, that I finally caught the error. I never expected more than a dozen people to see this video, but by the time the mistake had been caught, the video had already been getting way more views than I had ever thought possible. I see no easy way to trim out the mistake and so have made myself content with keeping it in, with the mentality that I don’t want to be a George Lucas and I should own up to the error (easier when nobody had yet caught it). It also provides the opportunity and room to improve in future video essays, (which, in contrast, have all been conceived as video essays from the start) and avoid a similar mistake in the future. Thank you for your comment and engagement though, and if you should watch some of my later videos, please try to find errors in those too and let me know!
@@georgelegobrick Sure thing. You do good work and your openness to criticism suggests you will only improve. 💫
Max knew if he got into a relationship with Jackie, he would lose himself and be destroyed. Too much sugar! ❤
Max had a crush on Jackie (who wouldn’t😅?) plus he saw a lonely beautiful woman, so he helped which is quite typical for us, the men. But she stayed the way she was, didn’t change and didn’t fully appreciate what he did for her. She wanted him to take more money to kind of pay him what she thought he deserved. Max helped her out of affection, not money, but Jacky is not a type of woman who wants to have a family, kids and settle down. Max understood it and made a decision not with his heart, but with his brains, which was right.
