2001: A Space Odyssey - Style over Substance?
Просмотров 1914 месяца назад
WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD Did Stanley Kubrick sacrifice the story of 2001: A Space Odyssey to create one of the most visually stunning films ever made? Watch to find out. This is the first video on my channel so I hope you enjoy it, and leave your thoughts in the comments!
Emerald Fennell, seems to me as a very insecure filmmaker. In her first film Promising Young Women, it started great, until the ending absolutely ruined it for me. The ending seemed as if she realised that the film she was making was heading towards a bleak ending, so she hamfisted in an ending that I felt went completely against what was the essence of the story. Instead of facing the ending the story was meant to have, she wanted to make one she was more comfortable doing, but in the end crippled the film overall. Saltburn was Fennell trying to write a provoking societal commentary, but instead, probably becoming insecure about portraying the experience of class and sexuality, she writes a predictable mystery where she confuses controversy and provocation with complexity. Your story isn't complex because you have gay characters or a bunch of weird transgressive sexual acts. The prior is so-what, the latter is just forced.
Interesting point on Promising Young Women, I’ve heard it’s overall a more complete feature than Saltburn but still need to watch.
absolutely phenominal video! the points were well-explained, thoughtful and accurate. i look forward to seeing more like this in the future if that's your plan :)
Thanks so much! And yes plenty more to come
Oh wow 17 subscribers. I watched this whole video just assuming you were already big because the video was of such high quality. Definitely subscribing. Hope the algorithm does you justice.
Mate thank you, really appreciate it!
Enjoyed this a lot, great editing!
Great video- the editing is genuinely top tier! I similarly think Saltburn was just a strange attempt at cultivating a profound, thought-provoking societal commentary. But- in line with modernity- the director felt the need to throw in a load of absurd 'gotcha' moments to grab the viewers attention. This just made it a confusing mess really. Great analysis anyway!
Excellent analysis, even better than the first. I think another key difference regards the characters' desired end game. Ripley seeks total transformation by permanently escaping into a completely false identity - Becoming. Whereas in Saltburn the end game is left (likely purposefully) more vague, closer to observation into another world by immersion - Exploring.
Thanks my man! And I like your point a lot of their differing endgames, very true.
Excellent analysis. Respect.
Those early photographs by Kubrick are awesome. Looking forward to more videos!
Masterful combination of deep insights and light humour, looking forward to what you accesibly dissect next. Subscribed!
Really opened my eyes to new aspects of this amazing film, helped me see things that I'd never seen before. Terrific vid. Deserves to be the first of many.
Great vid! Editing on point + had me creasing at points 🤣 looking forward to the next one
