How we compartmentalise and justify are own beliefs. We had to destroy the village to save it.

u really tried to use all your time to whitewash the whole thing.intentional or not its very much on the nose.

The Fly my beloved

Hi Guys. Only just discovered your channel, having watched Monster for the first time yesterday. This review sounds like you watched a completely different film. A different (early) edit maybe? It’s a ‘film of the year’ for me. I hope to watch Broker.

When i start watching movie , I can't continue after i saw dog died in bombing ... I feel why we human are so curel ,other suffer because of us ( selfish human)

"A Place in the Sun" was also a top contender in this Best Picture race, of course (winning six Oscars, including Best Director). I'd guess "Sun" took a lot of the dramatic votes that would've gone to "Desire" otherwise, helping the opulent "Paris" to prevail for the win.

Great overview. One note: during the awards season, Brando won the NYFC and Golden Globe awards, and Kelly won nearly every pre-Oscar award (National Board of Review, NYFC award, and the Golden Globe). Crosby (who won at the NBR) and Garland (who won the Musical/Comedy Globe) were certainly prime competition, but Brando and Kelly were indeed pre-Oscar frontrunners, and not really "shock" winners.

Interesting overview of one of my favorite movies ever. Some thoughts: I can't see Clift going Supporting, even today, as he's the soul of the film IMO, giving possible his best performance at a career peak wherein he was considered one of Hollywood's most talented leading men as well as a prime box-office draw. Top-billed Lancaster is also no supporting actor in the movie, of course. However, I could easily see Kerr legitimately going Supporting, so limited is her screentime as Karen. Both she and Reed were switching gears in "Eternity" (moving from their ladylike roles after about a decade in movies, to playing more sexually overt women), so it would've been interesting to see who might have prevailed for the Oscar, or if they would cancel each other out, allowing for a possible Thelma Ritter win. As far as Sinatra's win, "Eternity" was a blockbuster (second only to "The Robe" that year) and huge critical success, making an easy path for the Sinatra comeback story to build momentum after the film opened, leading him to the ultimate prize the following year, along with a suddenly-thriving film career. Going to watch your take on "The Greatest Show on Earth" now.

Thumbs down for the "toxic masculinity" comment

Hello chaps. Just discovered your channel and have subscribed. There's been a Powell and Pressburger season over here in Hong Kong and yesterday 'The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp' was screened at the M+ cinema. I had seen it before on DVD, but it was wonderful to watch it on a big screen and be part of the applause it received at the end - perhaps you were there, James. I look forward to watching more of your engaging discussions - all the best.

If you haven't seen it already, the 2018 documentary "Nothing Like a Dame" is a wonderful exploration of the long-standing friendship between the great actors (and Dames) Eileen Atkins, Judi Dench, Joan Plowright and Maggie Smith. Mostly in conversation with each other but also interspersed with clips of their (collectively) many filmed stage and screen roles. It's both informative and hilarious.

I'm not sure about the younger generations, but growing up in the 80s and 90s, The Raven, was just a part of pop/culture (as well as the basics of a few of the other stories, the Tell-Tale Heart, and, the Mask of the Red Death, for example).

Just recently watched the movie and I thought it was a sad, beautiful and thought provoking look at Japanese society with issues that can be seen all over the world. I have seen my favorite all female rock bands from Japan in concert and both times I’ve heard comments from other men in the crowd that sexualized them first instead of praising their skills as musicians and respecting them as human beings. I like how the film shows the loneliness and alienation in Japan that I’ve heard has gotten worse with a lot of young people becoming shut ins and society is catering to them now so they can minimize human contact. No wonder Japan has low birth rates and high suicide rates. The pressures to fit in are so high that people want to escape. The sex doll owner in the movie did have a girlfriend once it was mentioned. I think she broke up with him so that’s why he chose to give up on real women because they gave him heartbreak and get sex dolls instead. But he still names his dolls Nozomi after his girlfriend. I thought the ending was tragic and beautiful and fit with the rest of the story. I especially liked the birthday party dream where all the characters were there and the final scene and line of the movie- “Kirei”. 5/5

Born Yesterday is hilarious, and Holliday's performance, while benefitting from the double All About Eve nominations, is really great in a rare comedy performance winning a lead acting Oscar.

Battleground is the first great Battle of the Bulge WW2 film. Highly recommended.

Citizen Kane regained its reputation in the mid-50s as one of the films the French New Wave writers really championed, and it hasn't looked back since. Unfortunately, Welles didn't benefit with as much support from Hollywood as he should have.

Thank you for reacting to the career of Alain Delon, always one of my favourites. It was nice to hear someone taking his acting seriously. Loved the comments. Some of my favourites that I highly recommend (besides the one's you mentioned) are: Rocco and His Brothers (1960) The Leopard (1962) La Piscine (The Swimming Pool) 1969 Joy House (1964) (in English) The Widow Couderec (1971) Mr. Kleine (1976) plus many more..... Re: Zorro I also recommend The Mark Of Zorro (1940) starring Tyrone Power, Linda Darnell and Basil Rathbone. An excellent "classic"...great acting. stunning B&W cinematography and excellent direction by Rouben Mamoulian. Check it out.

Did I misunderstand when someone mentioned this was Sinatra’s first movie. I thought he played in a few musicals in the 1940s with Gene Kelly. Anchors Away comes to mind. I remember him in films before a lot skinnier.

great discussion as usual. lancaster a favourite of mine also but largely because of crimson pirate...haha. i'm sure that film was the seed that got me into hk movies in later life.

My favorite movie in the franchise!!

Steve's in HD, James is in SD. TIme to upgrade your camera sir. Great talk anyway, cheers.

I love Greta Garbo, but i hate her movies

i dont feel unconfortable with sexism and racism in things that are 100 years old

i will try to watch it, but i am not feeling motivated

This Best Picture win makes sense in the context of the time of its release: TV was becoming a real threat to cinema and audiences felt more attracted to stay at home (sounds familiar?), as consequence studios started to produce big, bombastic spectacles in order to bring people to the theaters, which explains the rise of subgenres such as the sword and sandals movies, or the grandiloquent epics that would come out in later years. And this worked in a way, because as you mention this movie was a massive box office success and it won the Golden Globe, and also benefited from the competition: High noon was successful but also very controversial due to being perceived as a critique of McCarthyism and the blacklists in Hollywood and Quiet man had John Ford already having a BP winner. So in hindsight it's a win that doesn't look surprising even it has aged horribly.

i believe Wings deserve being remembered because it was groundbreaking, it also keep the interest despite being sometimes very slow paced but comparing from material of the same era it is really interesting

It doesn't register like click? Please fix it so we can appreciate you generosity.

This lady is a phillistine,doesn't like musicals.l have seen several thousands musicals made in three continents. Musicals are perfect entertainment like a opera, best music,best romantic stories,best set desigs,best costumes,what not to like,sorry lady,open up. ....Prof.Dr.Nasir Fazal gold medalist Cambridge USA Lyrics out of this word just like an opera.

The fight scenes mirrored the novel and manga per director Chieng, and there will be prequel and finale along with a tv series of Shin which the production team already submitted for some type of govt media financial aid.

The Nazis did not divert resources significantly, in fact mass murder was directly related to their economic goals (The Hunger Plan - Living Space). With murder came plunder of land, property and food. The SS held up death trains for hours or days to allow military and other traffic to pass. Passengers were charged train fares, either individually or via the Jewish Councils. The death camps, especially the Reinhardt camps were built by scrounging from local areas. I read the effort for the Nazis to carry out the final solution was as much as lifting a little finger. Having said that, the destruction of Jewish people was a core Nazi aim central to their military goals. Mass murder was both cheap and profitable.

I'd give it a b+. It was a fun ride, but to be an A it would need a little more story. I think Deadpool 2 remains the stronger offering because of that. However, it was hilarious and that's what I needed Deadpool movie to be.

Is this a review or a critique?

For me, it was really interesting to see a lot of short scenes for the first part, and then see the same scenes, but longer and with more detail... You get everything until the very end. The use of mirrors as a reflection of the characters and their struggles is awesome. It isn't a usual movie, but it was thrilling and the acting was very good and there were so many details to see. It's a movie to watch more than once.

After Sunset Boulevard première, Barbara Stanwyck knelt & kissed Gloria's dress hem. L.B. Mayer yelled that Billy Wilder should be run out of town! "F*ck off, Louie!" Billy replied.

Early word: Bette would march in, redo the script, and then direct the film. It didn't happen. Bette saw a perfect script that would resurrect her career, then "behaved herself" splendidly.

Ann Baxter did not play Moses's adoptive mother in "The Ten Commandments". That was Nina Foch. Baxter played the princess who eventually married the Pharo. PS: My favorite George Sanders line, which I use regularly: "I'm nobody's fool. Least of all, yours".

Grave of the fireflies, made from Isao Takahata which is the second head of Studio Ghibli could be a nice recommandation for an other Ghibli films. It doesn't get as much fantastic set points as the other Miyazaki directed movies. I've always tought that this movie was intended to a more mature audience than the regular Miyazaki films. Hard to not be moved by the end of this picture.

10:46 -- Yes, the triangle is developed more fully in the book. It's also given more attention in the 1975 BBC miniseries, which is here on RUclips; we do actually get to see what a lousy husband Iestyn is. In the 1941 film, we're left to assume the marriage was motivated by, first, Gruffydd's rejection of Angharad, and second, her decision to marry the rich young man in the hope of giving her family a leg up in the world. If I can't have the man I love, she figures, I may as well do this for my family. I do agree, however, that even this could have been a bit more explicit. I love this film, but I acknowledge it has flaws. Even if we leave William Randolph Hearst's determination to sabotage Orson Welles out of the picture, the triumph of HGWMV over Citizen Kane was a triumph of sentiment over cynicism. Modern audiences tend to favor cynicism; audiences in 1941 favored sentiment. (That might account for The Maltese Falcon's poor showing at the Oscars as well.) It wasn't until after World War II, and the full-on advent of film noir, that cynicism took firm hold of the cultural zeitgeist, although well-done sentimental films could still win Best Picture (e.g. The Best Years of Our Lives). I think we've come around to understanding that both sentiment and cynicism have value in storytelling, so perhaps it is time for a re-evaluation of HGWMV.

Thanks for recognizing that "Don't Look Up" is truly in the realm of great satire, worthy of comparison with such greats as Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn and Jonathan Swift's Tale of a Tub, A Modest Proposal, and Gulliver's Travels. I just watched this movie yesterday, more than two years after it was released. I find it even more telling now than had it been if I'd watched it earlier. What amazes me is that so few other critics seem to understood the power and depth of this movie.

Nothing on our news here in Ireland.... Brilliant Beautiful Actor . Loved Donald in Kelly's Heroes.... Body Snatchers...MASH.. . Guys You cant say Movies today are better than Years Ago....... Film Critics nowadays always apologising for WHO?...Not real Movie lovers .

What a great conversation and tribute! It reminded me of just how many Donald Sutherland films I've actually seen. Throughout the 1970s, my sister and I would spend every Sunday with our dad (after our parents split up) and part of that day would often include going to a movie. We would take turns picking a movie and among those I remember were Kelly's Heroes, MASH, Klute, Don't Look Now and Casanova. From the 80s and 90s, I also remember Ordinary People, A Dry White Season, Bethune, JFK and Six Degrees of Separation. As a Canadian, he is often recognized as having once been married to the actor Shirley Douglas (Kiefer's mum) who was the daughter of Tommy Douglas. Tommy Douglas was one of the founders of the CCF (Cooperative Commonwealth Federation) which later became the New Democratic Party. He sat as a member of parliament from 1935 and in the 60s became the Premier of Saskatchewan. His efforts led to Canada's universal health care system.

Great movie from Hong Kong 🇭🇰

You're applying to logic to irrational people. To anyone else, it makes zero sense to divert so many resources into an extermination program while you're fighting a global war. To a Nazi, it makes perfect sense because to a Nazi, the Jew is the only enemy to fight in the first place. Remember, they were totally captured by absurd conspiracy theories of Jewish financiers and Communist rabble rousers. To a Nazi, the war itself is an extension of the Jew's existence- just another weapon he has in his arsenal to suppress Germany. What good does it do you to defeat enemies on the battlefield when the real enemy is still the Jewish puppet master pulling the strings remaining untouched? To a Nazi, you win the war by vanquishing the Jews, not the enemy combatants. Because the enemy is only there to defend the Jews, right? If you destroy the Jews, the enemies will evaporate. That's the Nazi reasoning.

No, the house staff Hedwig abused were Polish, and the woman Hoss had sex with in his office was a Polish prostitute. Remember how right before this scene Hoss was getting out and counting different types of currency? He was doing this to pay her. We know all of these women were Polish for three reasons: *•* They didn't have the mandatory stars of David sewn on their clothes *•* Sex with a Jewish person would result in his immediate firing and arrest. Any sort of inappropriate contact between SS officers and Jews violated the 1941 Race & Resettlement Act *•* It was even against the law for an SS man to permit a Jew inside his home altogether Remember, the grandmother even asked Hedwig as they were walking out to the garden together, "Jews in the house?" And Hedwig swiftly replied, "No, these are local girls. All the Jews stay on that side of the wall." The filmmakers included this for a reason. They had to illustrate the severity of consequences resettled German officers could face by mingling with Jews in the Eastern provinces.

A weak year for Best Picture nominees, but it's a strong enough film to have won Best Picture. However, the correct choice for Best Picture for this year would be 'The Third Man' which was not nominated.

The Lost Weekend isn't an Oscar worthy film, IMO. Of the nominated films, Mildred Pierce was significantly better. And 'Brief Encounter' not nominated, is significantly better than Mildred Pierce.

This film has a very strong vegan message. The hallmarks of the atrocities we commit against our fellow animals are everywhere. Our society is steeped in violence. We eat it. We wear it. We use it for "entertainment." It is our "solution" to problems that are, more often than not, of our own making. So why are we surprised when that violence bubbles up and boils over? Choose non-violence. Live vegan.

Vanilla sky is my favorite movie of all time. I tear up every time I watch it.

Best review of this brilliant film. Thanks.
