Why do so many people in the comments assume Rachel went back to Shane? wtf? They just bumped across each other at the airport and she promised him she will be happy even though they are separating.

As someone who just watched The Gentleman, this could just be a review of that.

I bet Tanya wished she'd taken Belinda's business proposal instead of marrying Greg. But wait... She did say she wished she'd taken Belinda's business proposal 😂 I remember now! That's what happens when you have a mom like hers, you become this needy, starved for affection person that's bound to be attracted to narcissists because you'd just be modeling your new relationships after that one relationship where a person should have loved you unconditionally. Belinda is altruistic, or at the very least a non spirit sucking leach, there was no way Tanya was gonna value her approval as much as she does Greg's, who we now know to have been an abusive partner and well... A wife killer.

I already commented on this, but I love this video so much that I watched this again! I saw season 2, and how Tanya refers to Belinda in conversation totally validates everything you said about their dynamic. She referred to Belinda as very witchy and semi-racially suggested that Belinda's healing was basically hoodoo. She very much treated Belinda as a blip on her radar in the grand scheme of things.

I think the thing that is resonating with people in The Zone of Interest is it’s technical achievement in combination with the performances and how it created an a compelling story that made the viewer think about the historical significance of a very evil war. But I can see how a lack of a concrete narrative can make the film seem really slow.

January is 2 months ago already

Your voice is so soothing like i could sleep to it😂😂

Keep at it, great analysis.

I agree, this movie does not swallows 🤭

I haven't seen it yet but I've heard amazing things. I think Diablo Cody just has a pretty wide base of DIE-hard haters, a continuation of the misogyny from the anger towards Valley Girls in the 90s.

I’m actually a university rower who read the book. I liked the movie, I thought it was good to see rowing on the big screen. But you are right about the Oscar bait. Personally I would have preferred to see Boys in the boat be made into an HBO miniseries or something. That would have fit the book better.

i NEED PART 3 PLEASE

I love seeing someone else give Wonka the respect it deserves period

Whiplash is mid for you? And theater Camp life-changing? Got it. This channel is Red on Tiermarker.

Beau is afraid is brazil 1985 for the mediso.... nahh it is just brazil with more perspectives on the damage not just Sam's.

Wow, expecting the staff to do their job, groundbreaking :D How dare these rich assholes :D When you seek opportunity by someone's sympathy and personal bond, it can break easily, since they are just guests. But Belinda could start to search for opportunities for her business which she prepped the pitch for already. She could find a real investor, instead of looking for some lunatic women's charity. Yes, the rich people are all assholes in this movie, but the poor's victim mentality is what's holding them back. You can only change your circumstances when you stop putting all your effort into hating them and start working your way out instead.

I waited until after seeing the movie to listen to reviews. I pretty much agree with this review. Its a good ,movie that could have been great. Clooney admitted it was not a big budget film. Nonetheless, the folks in Seattle "missed the boat" by not pulling out the stops to have it made where the story occurred, down to filming at the original 1918 shell house. The River Thames is no substitute for Lake Washington. The shoreline scenes are so not Pacific Northwest and Mt Rainier and the Cascades are missing. The acting was fine (Hadley Robinson stood out) and the oaring is real. Its worth seeing.

Paula was not a victim but the second worse villain next to Shane. She uses people and justifies it because she views herself as part of an oppressed race and class. Well, we aren’t told much about Paula’s background. Does she also come from an economically privileged background? Did her folks fully finance her likely Ivy League education or is she on scholarship? We don’t know. She uses the wealthy family to get a free 2 week vacation to paradise. She uses Kai for a bit of fun sex and when he starts taking the relationship more seriously she shuts him down. Paula gets back at Olivia (for again trying to steal men she likes) and the family (who make insensitive remarks at the table) by using Kai to steal from them. Kai is just a puppy in love so she knows he’ll do what she wants with little hesitation. She never sticks her neck out to help Kai. Sure she sheds a few tears but she goes back to her good life on the mainland.

only 53 views??? crazy.

Olivia and Paula are extremely unlikable. They are both entitled, clueless and arrogant. Olivia hates her parents and her brother while Paula exploits Kai and he goes to jail for her ideas.

Are the Mossbachers really that rich? Only the parents have a private room, Paula and Olivia sleep in the living room and Quinn sleeps… anywhere haha. Aren’t they just keeping up appearances?

Wow this is the best analysis of my favourite show by far, good work ❤

I dont think that Armand relapsed because of Shane. He probably deals with entitled rude guests like him everyday. His relapse comes after he realised that the new employee was pregnant and had a baby on his office and during her pain he was being super critical while training her and didn't realise what was happening. I think he felt guilty for treating her that way even if he didn't knew.

I don't understand how people don't look at Rachel as equally bad. She didn't work her JOB for months because she was too busy planning a wedding but now that they're on vacation, she wants to work a shit piece. And apparently she's not even a good writer after her interaction with Nicole. Shane doesn't care what she does...she can work, she can not work but Nicole is finding SOMETHING to complain about on vacation that could literally wait until theyre honeymoon is over. Then went to Belinda to vent about her not wanting to be a trophy wife. Belinda is just the working class so this is beyond privilege to her so she walked out. Then when she sees her husband at the airport, didn't even bother to make sure he was okay after PROVING the guy was fckn with them all trip and he ended up killing him. I actually felt bad for Shane because he was being himself all the time. Rachel was the one with the career and identity crisis all in one.

This girl just called worrying about having cancer a first world problem. Like seriously?

The whole thing is such extremely exaggerated satire that ultimately none of it should be taken seriously. Almost no one gets into a management position who is even 1% as unworldly/naive as the people shown. That doesn't mean that the person is paid fairly compared to others, that's another issue. A recommendation from me, who likes the series: Barry also from HBO

Paula is as a performer as Olivia.She literally was the one putting Kai in that situation, not because she wanted to help him but because she wanted vengeance.Yet she didn't lift a finger to help him after the whole thing went down the hill. The way i hated her after this.

It’s ironic to me Paula a clearly mixed raced woman is the most hated character… against a legit murderer.. a white man, a subject that was brought up in the show as well, the irony It’s like did you people even watch the show.

99percent of humans are demons in disguise

Lmao I despise Shane but to be fair he will probably be coming back to the memory of the stabbing for many years, I would doubt he will ever forget it. You were a tad hyperbolic saying he will never think of it again

I wouldn't say that Rachel is a victim of shame. She is in this circumstance due to her choices and is free to go and decides not to. Rachel is a beautiful white woman with a college education, she is not wealthy, but she isn't like she's poor and can't survive without his support. Armand, I certainly wouldn't perceive as a victim, as his downfall was preceded by a series of increasingly terrible choices, including quid pro quo sexual harrassment of a much younger employee. He was just as bad as his guests in many ways even though he happens to have less money.

And I almost died when the mom said feel bad for the straight white man gtfoh 😂😂😂

"Politically correct"? This is far from the film's message. They're all fucked up in their own ways. Paula is just as bad as Olivia

😊😊

Great analysis! Thanks. You expressed in words what I was thinking. Spot-on!

Great video essay

I can’t even lie I was really hoping for a positive interaction between Belinda and Rachel. Both of them could relate as working women, so it was assumed to work out. But Rachel got lucky by marrying rich. Belinda was routinely robbed of that luck as Tonya emotionally manipulated her. So I totally get why Belinda walked out on the spot after talking with Rachel. She already had enough of trying to be a fake therapist with Tonya. Why would she trust Rachel to be any different? And even if Rachel mentioned her working class background to Belinda, it wouldn’t diminish the fact that she was still rich by association (as you described Rachel to be)

Belinda, ultimately took back her power but had to proceed forward work wise because “it is what it is” and she has no other option like before. Paula, called out her friend about their hypocrisy which hurt her but she was real enough to actually check herself. Which made her appreciate her family more to a point she started approaching their ignorance with love and patience. Then forgive Paula. Paula never heard back from Kai. Although they identified with each other, he ghosted Paula and didn’t extend the same grace and forgiveness the friend did. Rachel, loved her profession and hustled her whole life to get to where she was but was already struggling to be good/successful at it. So even tho she comes from a different world than her husband and is more humble. She struggled with accepting the privilege because doing so meant giving up on herself. In the end, she gave up.

I think the bigger message the show seems to push is that everyone would take advantage of others if they had the opportunity.

Everyone is this show is obnoxious.

Maybe it's leftover love for Murray Bartlett in The Last of Us, but I loved Armond and was so sad about his end. To me, he was a sort of tragic hero trampled by the rich for refusing to bend to their will. Also, Shane is a monumental cock waffle, God I despised him!

Had the show been about guests staying in Holiday Inn instead of Four Seasons Resort, it'd be totally boring.

Thomas didnt kill himself

You forgot to mention the present white man’s sort-of paradox that Mark mentioned in his tangent. That white people commited all those heinous crimes in the age of imperialism in which a lot have admitted of being wrong, but at the end of the day will not give up their priviledge or only do the bare minimum because they don’t want to be uncomfortable or inconvinienced.

This is the analysis that I'd expect Olivia to make.

Paula was definitely projecting her feelings and problems onto Kai. The stealing was not for Kai. It was for her. Also Tanya sucks low-key. She fucked over Belinda. And in S2 she treats Portia like shit.

In my opinion Paula was the biggest villain. She was invited on holiday by her friend's family and instead of being grateful, what did she do? Orchestrated heist which in the end, resulted in Kai's downfall. The boy she claimed "she really liked". I think we can all agree she was projecting her insecurities and just wanted to hurt Quentin and Nicole. Her jealousy of their wealth was pretty obvious. One thing that bothers me. Why didn't she warn him and just send a text to call off the heist when she knew they will be back? She had her phone on the boat and could easily save Kai from the trouble.

no matter what's your political or sociological take (i'm american conservative). this show actually shows the most realistic and diverse dynamics among wealthy people with different world views. we are just outsiders, like an invisible fly on the wall of White Lotus. we see the guests at their best and worst. the obvious gets explained. the unexplained remains so. what's interesting is, if we replace any part of the story, characters or settings, it won't be interesting at all - we wouldn't have seen the cracks in the perfect facade of luxury at all. rich are unhappy or superficial. their relationships are fake or broken. their flaws are so visceral that no person outside of this wealth could really thrive in it. but these folks do and even adapt with their flaws (for better or for worse). fucking loved it. surreal, yet realistic.

40min of woke new speak about privilege and white tears and intersectionality with barely concealed racism and sexism.

Belinda said it, I am all out. Rachel should have left her new husband but she didn’t. The problem will keep coming back to Rachel.
