It took me years to stop puzzling over that one... now it's back in my head! FUCK YOU. "Steve Nugent, you have been fined one credit for a violation of the verbal morality statute" :(
c21dickcracker a bit late but that scene was just a cameo from the book. The rabbit and the guy were more impactful characters but Kubrick decided to not include them in the movie.
except his rant is mercifully short compared to my profs [MIGHT EXPLAIN WHY I DROPPED OUT !!] you should listen to my reviews i'm more entertaining!! AND i do music !!
Full the 5 gallon jug with two full loads from the 3 gallon jug. This leaves you one gallon in the 3 gallon jug. dump the five gallon jug. Than add the one gallon, in the 3 gallon jug, to the five gallon jug. Fill the 3 gallon jug and empty out into the 5 gallon jug. This gives you 4 gallons of water.
Theyneverknow You spend more time filling a 5 gallon jug twice than the 3 gallon jug twice. It's a timed puzzle. Mine leaves for a wider margin for error. And if you do mess up you just switch to the other solution. It's the better solution given the hypothetical situation.
You have to fill the 3 gallon jug 3 times and pour that one 3 times and empty the 5 gallon jug 1 time....while in the video you have to fill the 5 gallon jug 2 times, pour 6 gallons and empty 3 gallons. That's handling 3x3+3x3+5=23 gallons compared to 5x2+6+3= 19 gallons in the video. I would say emptying and filling take the same amount of time (I mean, the same amount of water goes through the same opening) and pouring takes just a little longer because of the precision needed. So I would say the video's way goes faster because of handling 4 gallons less and the longest step (pouring) has 3 gallons more if that really matters. BUT: -I would handle a 3 gallon jug way easier than a 5 gallon jug, definitely if not a single spill is allowed. -I find your way a lot simpler to come by than the one in the video (so faster to come by). Which means, that it would be the first one to come to mind and if time based, I would probably complete it first by your way than someone using the video's way because of the small difference in handling gallons. I actually thought, well this is a lot easier than in the video, but after maths, if you know both (and the BUT arguments don't count), I'd pick the video's way.
that's not even what the architect explains he explains that the 6th version of the matrix is the "perfect" version he explains that the matrix needs to have a balance of good and bad the first version was essentially heaven the machines wanted the Humans to want for nothing make them happy to be in the matrix but the human mind wouldn't accept it as reality and went mad and died machines thinking rudimentary the second version was basically hell nonstop pain and suffering but once again the Human minds could not cope and they died they began experimenting and i think by gen 4 came to the conclusion was just simulating Humanity just before their "golden age" so early 2000s humans found this to be the most easy to accept but there would always those who questioned it and the machines couldn't prevent them from escaping so the machines made a plan to let the humans escape but pretend they were trying to stop them and let them form a city and once the city became too populated they would destroy them since they were all in one place and then the cycle continued for presumably a few hundred years its not even clear if Neo broke the cycle if everything went according to the machines plan The Animatrix (which is the Matrix version of Halo Legends) goes into more detail about the uprising of the Machine nation (called 01) and the creation of the matrix the destruction of earth and Humanity is actually purely Humanities fault as the machines became more self aware they wanted to be free and form their own nation and for a while there was peace but the machine nation became too efficient their products and economy caused global crashes and risked Humans way of life so they attacked first but by the time they realized nukes and conventional weapons wouldn't work on the machines it was too late 01 (reluctantly) decided that Humanity had to be exterminated for their own self preservation 01 sees Humanity as greedy and selfish incapable of peace and coexistence so they have a deep disdain for their own creators its a real mind fuck finding out that Humanity is actually the bad guy in the Matrix
It also tries to explain the original flaw of the trilogy. Which was the machine never needed human as a power source, that was so even if one just watch the first movie. The plot still sucks but at least they tried to correct the flawed premise. But the machine isn't really interested in the extermination of humanity.
i only gave the basic gist only enough for people yo look up for info if they're interested but yes you're correct the matrix was only a morbid punishment for starting the war after the nano machines covering the earth die and the darkened skies clear the machines were going to let Humanity free any way
+BioCapsule Originally, the plot was that the machines used them for the processing power of the human brain, but studio execs thought that would go over people's heads.
I never understood what’s so confusing about the end of The Shining. Jack Torrance is now a ghost in the hotel, hence the ghosts adding him to the picture
He's literally changed his name. Him and Pacitti were discussing it because WhatCulture bosses are pissed off because it's cost them over £600 so far and counting to do it.
Aye, I've no idea why it's so expensive? I guess it must work like personalised license plates or some shit? Like there's a basic payment needed but the cost can rise depending on certain stuff.
Strangely, I'm OK with it. I'm studying courtroom stenography and writing fast speech is something we have to practice constantly. Go as fast as you like! 😆
The unicorn is a symbol of a 'one of a kind thing'. Rachel being a unique replicant that doesn't have a pre-determined life span and develops her own emotions beyond what is programmed into her. The symbolism is basically that Gaff is giving tons of little hints that encourages Deckard to run off and protect Rachel. But it has a secondary symbolism as Deckard decides to help her out of love for her (unicorns commonly being used as a symbol for purity and love). May seem kind of weak, but hey, remember that Ridley Scott used the same symbolism in Legend. The cut ending for Blade Runner also makes it a lot more obvious, possibly why the ending was cut (or because it was a really lackluster scene that looked like it was filmed on highway 101 outside LA and doesn't fit with the rest of the movie at all). The Architect is a similar case of symbolism, or more accurately foreshadowing to basically everything in the third movie. But like the third Maxtrix movie, it wasn't planned or executed well.
Actually that scene with Architect was the only redeeming value of the trilogy if you realized that the trilogy never made sense from the first, that scene was the only attempt to repair it. 1) & 2) is just the bare minimum of the information but they just got a bit too wordy with it, it is however still a dialogue suited to the nature of the Architect. I don't get why people dislike it so much.
I'm astounded some of these scenes made it to the final cut. Always nice when a movie studio has the balls to release something that may not please or demystify itself to every audience member.
dude the gallon problem is so simple, i just figured they would assume the audience figured it out, you fill the 5 gallon jug full, then use it to fill the 3 gallon bucket, then you are then left with 2 gallons in the 5 gallon, then empty the 3 gallon bucket, then take the 2 gallons from the 5 gallon bucket and pour it into the 3 gallon bucket, then you have two gallons in the 3 gallon bucket. then you fill the 5-gallon bucket full, then pour water into the 3-gallon bucket until it is full and boom 4 gallons.
Great idea for a list. But why, why (!?) talk a million miles a minute when discussing literally the most complex, nuanced brain-busters in cinema. This would have been 200% better if it had been a 10-12 minute video, changing none of the content.
oh my gods, YES! thank you! not only is he speaking WAY too fast in general, but it's especially irksome given the complex nature of the topic. i'm glad it's not just me!
Fill the 3 gallon bottle and pour it into the 5 gallon. Fill the 3 gallon bottle again and pour it into the 5 gallon, (6 gallons - 5 gallons = 1 gallon) leaving 1 gallon remaining. Empty the 5 gallon bottle. Pour the left over 1 gallon into the 5 gallon bottle. Fill the 3 gallon bottle again and pour it into the 5 gallon bottle. Measuring exactly 4 gallons.
Anyone else watch the Die Hard puzzle a few times, pause the video to try to work it out in your head, only to have to watch it 2 - 3 more times before it actually sunk in?
I watched "Matrix Reloaded" (the German dubbed version) in a Berlin cinema in 2003. After Neo had said to The Architect that he doesn´t understand, someone from the audience said out loud: "Me neither!" (He yelled in German, so it was: "Ich auch nicht!")
The unicorn scene is actually quite simple. In one of the cut scenes he made a unicorn before that scene and Deckard saw it I think it was while he was driving Deckard or they were at the precinct. So it's an allusion to Gaff and it's also Gaff letting him know that he's looking the other way in Deckard leaving with Rachael to live life elsewhere and at least attempt a life of love which we rarely get in life. That was the allusion to "then again who really does". I can't believe people don't understand that scene.
Well you didn't either then. We never see Gaff doing the unicorn, he does a chicken and stick man with an erect penis. And what confuses people is the fact that the clue that shows Gaff let him leave with Rachel (everybody got that) is a unicorn like in his dream, implying Gaff knows his dream implying he is a replicant. And I believe Ridley Scott confirmed that but seeing that they were multiple versions of the movie over the year, I'm not sure the man has is mind really set about it.
Every list ok this topic includes the architect speech. It's not that hard to understand. I think people get bored and stop paying attention because there's no crazy effects bullet time, but it's not that complicated.
I've seen that movie multiple times and couldn't even begin to tell you what it's about. It's overly verbose and pretentious to the point it simply goes in one ear and out the other. Completely disengaging.
We learned the 4 gallons of water puzzle in Year 8 maths, and the teacher showed us this scene. I think there was a Runescape quest with a similar puzzle as well.
I'll be honest...half of the movies on this list, the scenes aren't understandable because the director/movie/whatever was just garbage to begin with. The other half are films where the scene/ending requires you have to have an IMAGINATION and decide for yourself what the meaning is. It's not just laid out for you in black and white.
The Die Hard Water puzzle bothered me so much as a kid I had to figure it out! There is actually another way to do this. Fill the 3 gal jug to the top. Pour all of it in the 5 gal jug. (Leaves 2 gallons empty in the 5 gal jug.) Refill the 3 gal jug and pour 2 gallons from it into the 5 gallon jug (where there was only 2 gallons of space left.) NOW you have 1 gallon in the 3 gallon jug. Empty 5 gallon jug and pour in the last gallon from the 3 gallon jug. Refill 3 gallon jug and pour it into the 5 gal jug (which currently has 1 gallon) and boom... 4 gallons in the 5 gallon jug. I even went back to watch the scene a few times to see if they answered it... which no... of course not. I forget how old I was at the time... Want to say early teens. But MAN did that one piss me off! Cheers, folks! Sorry for my dumb post... but I HAD to get it off my chest. Harboring that for years! Hah!
Alternate Die Hard solution: Fill 3 gallon jug, pour into empty 5 gallon jug Fill 3 gallon jug again, pour into the 5 gallon jug until full. 3 gallon jug now has 1 gallon left in it. Empty out the 5 gallon jug, pour 1 gallon in the 3 gallon jug into the 5. Fill 3 gallon jug and empty it into the 5 gallon jug. I was stoked when I figured that out as a 15 year old.
Omg I thought I was the only one! It's like when I watch a movie where someone is underwater and I can't catch my breath. Same listening to this guy. Keep waiting for him to inhale.
WhatCulture, what would you think about the 1990s version of Total Recall (with Arnold)? With all the crazy clues and hidden clues the movie tells, do you think Quaid is in a dream or is it reality? I'm really curious what you think about that.
The water jug puzzle from Die Hard is actually one of the oldest logic puzzles in existence. Honestly, anybody who has ever played a Professor Layton game should've had no trouble figuring out how it was done.
Along time Ago, in an internet far away, there was a cartoon on Newgrounds about that scene with the Architect. He was a little pull-string doll that looked like Colonel Sanders. Neo would pull the string and the Architect would say the only words i ever could comprehend: "Ergo!" "Visa Vi!" "Systemic anomaly!" I can't stop laughing as I'm typing this out.
I didn't really appreciate the Architect until I went back to college and studied programming. Takes on a whole new meaning you know even the basics of code and OOP. I agree it just washed over me the first time though.
The Holy Motors reference should've been in "10 movies nobody's seen." :-) Actually, I've seen it, and would recommend it to anyone who likes weird movies that make you say "what the hell did I just see". The scene isn't confusing, but I never read much into it and I like your interpretation. Time to watch it again, maybe.
My solution to Die Hard water bottle was always: Fill 3 gallon jug and then pour into empty 5 gallon jug. Refill the 3 gallon jug and pour into the 5 gallon jug holding 3 gallons with 2 gallons of space remaining. This will leave the 3 gallon jug with 1 gallon remaining. Now empty the 5 gallon jug, then pour the 1 gallon from the 3 gallon jug into the empty 5 gallon jug. Refill the 3 gallon jug and pour into the 5 gallon jug containing 1 gallon. The 5 gallon jug now contains 4 gallons. Might be a lot of work but was a fairly simple and straight forward solution.
The Lost Highway theory about the second half of the movie being a dream is definitely correct, and the "proof" of that is Mulholland Drive. That movie was Lost Highway in reverse; it was David Lynch trying to perfect the idea of showing two seemingly different movies, one of which is the fantasy of the other. It works a lot better in Mulholland Drive, where we see the fantasy first and reality last. Lost Highway showed reality first, and I think that's what confused people because strangely enough, there's actually less to hold on to as a viewer that way. Once the fantasy kicks in, it's just "what the hell's going on?" whereas in reverse, it's more "oooooh, so that's what she *really* thought about that guy", etc.
The die hard puzzle is simpler than that. You half fill both jugs then pour the 1.5 gallons into the 5 gallon jug which has 2.5 gallons, now you have 4 gallons. They had no way to measure one gallon otherwise they could just add one gallon at a time. I looked it up when I watched the movie again recently.
I am actually stunned that the ending of The Fountain wasn t in that list... I mean, ok. I perceive myself as someone that actually enjoys searching for deeper meanings in films and what the director wants you to understand or form your own opinion about. But The Fountain?... DAMN!
I guess the unicorn will forever be confusing. Because while Sir Ridley Scott has confirmed that he DEFINITELY made the movie believing that Deckard is a replicant, Deckard is also in the new upcoming sequel, and is noticeably older. Something that should be impossible for the short lifespan of a replicant.
no wonder they didn't explain the water puzzle. I had to rewind twice just to understand how to solve it. can you imagine trying to explain that in a movie theater while not confusing the audience and not slowing down the pace of the film.
I've been binge-watching this channel for a few weeks now and my one big complaint -- and it's a doozy -- is that the kids making these videos are generating an awful lot of content from repeatedly making the same few observations about the same few movies. Before two weeks ago, I'd literally never even heard of *Enemy* starting Jake Gyllenhall, and the whole wife-turns-into-a-spider thing has been referenced at *least* half a dozen times, in half a dozen of these videos. Which, if you're keeping score at home, is just about the most egregious sin that an otherwise admirable passel of lads could commit on RUclips since it implies (a) that they don't respect us enough to anticipate that we'd notice and call bullsh*t on it, and (b) it's being cynically wielded as a means of drumming-up what are actually recycled click-counts, to increase the channel's advertising revenues.
Thanks for the water puzzle answer. I might have got there but I didn’t care enough to really work it out, I just cared enough for it to bother me that I didn’t have the answer... it didn’t help that my mum & sister got it immediately. Everyone is “good at” different things, I understood the conversation between Neo & “The Architect” because I do better with language & philosophy than with math problems
David Lynch wants you to make up your own thoughts on his films they all have a general theme but everyone takes away something different. Truly a master of a cinema!
I never get people not understanding the architect scene. Yes the vocabulary and choice of structure used is somewhat obfuscating, but it is overall incredibly clear.
The Diehard water puzzle is an OLD puzzle and not complex in the least. Side note: For anyone who remembers a TV show called "The Mole" staring Anderson Cooper before he became famous...that puzzle was on that show also.
The Die Hard puzzle wasn't hard to understand. Zeus reasons it out, explaining it all the way, while McClane slowly figures it out to chime in on the final line. With the puzzle solved, there's no need to show it physically being done.
Magnolia actually gives you the answer for the frogs rain. There’s a scene where you can see someone from the quiz show audience holding a sign saying “Exodus 8:2”, which says: “If you refuse to let them go, I will send a plague of frogs on your whole country.” (Or something similar, depending on the translation). And if you watch the movie again knowing this, you’ll find that the numbers 8 and 2 are all over the place. (You can see the sign on Google Images: “Magnolia Exodus 8:2”)
The picture in the Shining confused people? The photo contained everyone who was corrupted by, and died in the Overlook. Which is why Hallorann is not in the picture, even though he died in the Overlook. He was not corrupted. That picture is of all the souls imprisoned in the Overlook.
The Architect doesn't belong on the list. The overly flowery language is part of the character. It frames the simple concepts which are then pinned in place by Neo's simplistic interjections. It's sublimely easy to grasp.
If I saw a damn spider that big in a girls room, I'd tell it "You can have that bitch", shut the door, leave, and never speak of that day ever again lol
The Architect scene isn't that complicated even if its intended to be. Lots of people understood it right in the theater: 1) After different versions of a controlling simulation had failed (entire crops were lost), one version finally works which actually gives everyone hooked into it a 'choice' to accept the fantasy or reject it...even if they aren't fully aware they are making a choice. 2) The vast majority would accept the fantasy and live out their virtual lives as batteries. 3) A small percentage would reject it and either go insane or find a way out. 4) Left unchecked, that small percentage would inevitably grow over time to become both a physical threat to the machines *and* degrade the matrix itself until it collapsed. 5) Two things are needed to regulate these problems: Physical raids in the real world to cull the humans that get out and "the one" to correct the growing anomaly in the matrix. 6) A human is always selected (randomly or specifically) as "the one" and given a code and another choice: Reject the system completely which risks the end of all humans or return the code to the mainframe which reboots the degrading matrix simulation and selects breeders to continue humanity. The whole cycle continues. Neo made pretty much the same choice by the end of Revolutions that his predecessors did and returned to the mainframe to save humanity. However, unlike the last cycles, this time there is the inclusion of the Smith virus that (for reasons I don't understand) results in more of humanity being aware of what's happening and the Architect saying people will be allowed to leave if they wish (which they were anyway). For all we know the Smith virus happens every time and the entire chain of events we saw is part of the matrix by design.
Everyone who keeps saying this guy talks to fast need to put down their phones, turn off their computers and have a conversation with a someone in person. You'll realize that this guy speaks clearly and at a pretty average speed.
lol thats so funny cause I can't even count how many comments I just scrolled through of people saying this guy talks to fast, I had no problem understanding him at all, thats the last thing I would of even thought to comment on this video. But I was wondering why I didn't notice that but almost everyone else did, thanks for clearing it up for me ;P
The only way the matrix would have made sense was if the Wachowski Sisters were allowed to script it the way they wanted to... humans as processing power. Instead the studio decided viewers were too dumb to understand it and the rest of the movie(s) dont make any frigging sense.
For the Die Hard puzzle, it can also be solved more easily as follows: fill up the 3 gallon jug and pour that into the 5 gallon jug. Now fill up the 3 gallon jug again and fill the 5 gallon jug the rest of the way. You now have 1 gallon of water in the 3 gallon jug, so empty the full 5 gallon jug, and pour the 1 gallon in the 3 gallon jug into it. Now just fill the 3 gallon jug completely and pour that into the 5 gallon jug containing your 1 gallon. Thus 4 gallons...
You're lying! I never hit you! You are tearing me apart, plumpy!

The ending of the Shining isn't what confused me, it was the dude blowing another dude in a rabbit costume.
c21dickcracker a bit late but that scene was just a cameo from the book. The rabbit and the guy were more impactful characters but Kubrick decided to not include them in the movie.
The architect is more or less like my college teachers
Well, yes... he would be either more, or less, like your college teachers. Since, those are really the only two options... y'think?
the guy who played the architect was one of my college teachers, no joke
except his rant is mercifully short compared to my profs [MIGHT EXPLAIN WHY I DROPPED OUT !!] you should listen to my reviews i'm more entertaining!! AND i do music !!
*professors
so called because they PROFESS to teach you something instead i just feel numbed off from both ends !!
that brief 10-20 seconds of waiting to hear who is narrating the video so you can decide whether to stay on the video or exit out quickly.

Yup. I hear Ben, and I'm gone.
i like Simon, Plumpy, and Jack the Jobber.

It's amazing. 100s of comments asking him to slow down on every video , and yet he speeds through run on sentences like he was on fire.
Reasonably good at 0.75 speed, though if I could get it to 0.80 to 0.85 it would be better.
Can you please speak a little faster?
leave him alone, he thinks it makes him sound smarter.

The deleted scene reads almost beat for beat like this comment thread! Good on the movie editor for realising no audience member gave one f*** 😉
I took the picture in The Shining to mean that Jack had been absorbed along with the other souls of the hotel to live in a kind of afterlife there.

that's not even what the architect explains
he explains that the 6th version of the matrix is the "perfect" version he explains that the matrix needs to have a balance of good and bad
the first version was essentially heaven the machines wanted the Humans to want for nothing make them happy to be in the matrix but the human mind wouldn't accept it as reality and went mad and died
machines thinking rudimentary the second version was basically hell nonstop pain and suffering but once again the Human minds could not cope and they died
they began experimenting and i think by gen 4 came to the conclusion was just simulating Humanity just before their "golden age" so early 2000s humans found this to be the most easy to accept but there would always those who questioned it and the machines couldn't prevent them from escaping
so the machines made a plan to let the humans escape but pretend they were trying to stop them and let them form a city and once the city became too populated they would destroy them since they were all in one place and then the cycle continued for presumably a few hundred years its not even clear if Neo broke the cycle if everything went according to the machines plan
The Animatrix (which is the Matrix version of Halo Legends) goes into more detail about the uprising of the Machine nation (called 01) and the creation of the matrix
the destruction of earth and Humanity is actually purely Humanities fault as the machines became more self aware they wanted to be free and form their own nation and for a while there was peace but the machine nation became too efficient their products and economy caused global crashes and risked Humans way of life so they attacked first but by the time they realized nukes and conventional weapons wouldn't work on the machines it was too late 01 (reluctantly) decided that Humanity had to be exterminated for their own self preservation
01 sees Humanity as greedy and selfish incapable of peace and coexistence so they have a deep disdain for their own creators its a real mind fuck finding out that Humanity is actually the bad guy in the Matrix
It also tries to explain the original flaw of the trilogy. Which was the machine never needed human as a power source, that was so even if one just watch the first movie. The plot still sucks but at least they tried to correct the flawed premise. But the machine isn't really interested in the extermination of humanity.
i only gave the basic gist only enough for people yo look up for info if they're interested
but yes you're correct the matrix was only a morbid punishment for starting the war after the nano machines covering the earth die and the darkened skies clear the machines were going to let Humanity free any way
+BioCapsule Originally, the plot was that the machines used them for the processing power of the human brain, but studio execs thought that would go over people's heads.
I never understood what’s so confusing about the end of The Shining. Jack Torrance is now a ghost in the hotel, hence the ghosts adding him to the picture
The fact "The Room" only had 1 out of 10 spots in this list, itself, is amazing.
The fact that Adam has to call himself Plumpy on non wrestling related channels 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Chris Glorioso he is in the process of actually changing his name to plumpy, in accordance The wrestlemania stipulation
He's literally changed his name. Him and Pacitti were discussing it because WhatCulture bosses are pissed off because it's cost them over £600 so far and counting to do it.
Macephtopheles Wow that's expensive you can change your name in the US for like 50 bucks.
Aye, I've no idea why it's so expensive? I guess it must work like personalised license plates or some shit? Like there's a basic payment needed but the cost can rise depending on certain stuff.
Macephtopheles Imagine wanting to change your name to Tom and having to pay 550 dollars its insane.
die hard 3 is the second best die hard movie lok
Hahaha... I literally stopped the video to make sure someone said that in the comments.
I agree. I also don't think the water puzzle was that hard to understand, I got it when I first saw it and I was like 10 years old
die hard 3 was "colorful"
Azrael-XIII they do explain that in the film
Yeah die hard 3 is definitely the second best idk what they are smoking
Dude you need to breathe sometimes, you talk too freaking fast. I like the information but its so hard to understand your speedvoice.
stop smoking pot it slows your brain down he was speaking normally

Thank you!!! I feel the same way!

It's Plumpy. I blame Adam Pacitti for this.

People don't understand the unicorn in Blade Runner?
Exactly!!!
looks like mulholland drive is missing in this list
The unicorn is a symbol of a 'one of a kind thing'. Rachel being a unique replicant that doesn't have a pre-determined life span and develops her own emotions beyond what is programmed into her. The symbolism is basically that Gaff is giving tons of little hints that encourages Deckard to run off and protect Rachel. But it has a secondary symbolism as Deckard decides to help her out of love for her (unicorns commonly being used as a symbol for purity and love). May seem kind of weak, but hey, remember that Ridley Scott used the same symbolism in Legend. The cut ending for Blade Runner also makes it a lot more obvious, possibly why the ending was cut (or because it was a really lackluster scene that looked like it was filmed on highway 101 outside LA and doesn't fit with the rest of the movie at all).
The Architect is a similar case of symbolism, or more accurately foreshadowing to basically everything in the third movie. But like the third Maxtrix movie, it wasn't planned or executed well.
You sound like Matt Damond in a bad dialogue. Whats the rush??? Take it easy
Actually that scene with Architect was the only redeeming value of the trilogy if you realized that the trilogy never made sense from the first, that scene was the only attempt to repair it. 1) & 2) is just the bare minimum of the information but they just got a bit too wordy with it, it is however still a dialogue suited to the nature of the Architect. I don't get why people dislike it so much.
when jack from the shining was spotted on the photo, i was confused too when i first saw it, then my mom told me the haunted hotel took his soul.
We're getting a top 10 plagues video, aren't we?
Your picture is my answer
I'm astounded some of these scenes made it to the final cut. Always nice when a movie studio has the balls to release something that may not please or demystify itself to every audience member.
What about the 3 seashell in demolition man?
I don't think the writers of that movie understand that bit.
She doesn't know how to use the shells! 😂
I seem to remember them going through the water jug puzzle answer in Die Hard: With A Vengeance?
Bruce explains the Die Hard puzzle right before they solve it, albeit slightly half assed since they had already been trying different methods.
dude the gallon problem is so simple, i just figured they would assume the audience figured it out, you fill the 5 gallon jug full, then use it to fill the 3 gallon bucket, then you are then left with 2 gallons in the 5 gallon, then empty the 3 gallon bucket, then take the 2 gallons from the 5 gallon bucket and pour it into the 3 gallon bucket, then you have two gallons in the 3 gallon bucket. then you fill the 5-gallon bucket full, then pour water into the 3-gallon bucket until it is full and boom 4 gallons.
Great idea for a list. But why, why (!?) talk a million miles a minute when discussing literally the most complex, nuanced brain-busters in cinema. This would have been 200% better if it had been a 10-12 minute video, changing none of the content.

THANK YOU! LET'S HOPE HE TAKES THIS ADVICE!
oh my gods, YES! thank you! not only is he speaking WAY too fast in general, but it's especially irksome given the complex nature of the topic. i'm glad it's not just me!
Not to mention wasting way too many seconds focusing on the narrator's own skill at humor (smirk) that the topic.
Fill the 3 gallon bottle and pour it into the 5 gallon. Fill the 3 gallon bottle again and pour it into the 5 gallon, (6 gallons - 5 gallons = 1 gallon) leaving 1 gallon remaining. Empty the 5 gallon bottle. Pour the left over 1 gallon into the 5 gallon bottle. Fill the 3 gallon bottle again and pour it into the 5 gallon bottle. Measuring exactly 4 gallons.
Anyone else watch the Die Hard puzzle a few times, pause the video to try to work it out in your head, only to have to watch it 2 - 3 more times before it actually sunk in?
That moment of sweet relief when you start a video and hear -sigh- Plumpy's voice
I watched "Matrix Reloaded" (the German dubbed version) in a Berlin cinema in 2003. After Neo had said to The Architect that he doesn´t understand, someone from the audience said out loud: "Me neither!" (He yelled in German, so it was: "Ich auch nicht!")
Donnie Darko, Mulholland drive ... so many moments to confuse anyone
Some of the confusing moments left me thinking: Are people actually watching the movies?
Mumble Mumble, excited Mumble shout, Mumble, really fast mumbling, shout mumble
I could listen to Plumpy talk about "The Room" all day 😂
Die hard 3is the second best die hard film
Can you slow down when you narrate?
"You're tearing me apart, Lisa." Sorry, I'll show myself out.
The unicorn scene is actually quite simple. In one of the cut scenes he made a unicorn before that scene and Deckard saw it I think it was while he was driving Deckard or they were at the precinct. So it's an allusion to Gaff and it's also Gaff letting him know that he's looking the other way in Deckard leaving with Rachael to live life elsewhere and at least attempt a life of love which we rarely get in life. That was the allusion to "then again who really does". I can't believe people don't understand that scene.
Well you didn't either then. We never see Gaff doing the unicorn, he does a chicken and stick man with an erect penis.
And what confuses people is the fact that the clue that shows Gaff let him leave with Rachel (everybody got that) is a unicorn like in his dream, implying Gaff knows his dream implying he is a replicant.
And I believe Ridley Scott confirmed that but seeing that they were multiple versions of the movie over the year, I'm not sure the man has is mind really set about it.
Every list ok this topic includes the architect speech. It's not that hard to understand. I think people get bored and stop paying attention because there's no crazy effects bullet time, but it's not that complicated.
I've seen that movie multiple times and couldn't even begin to tell you what it's about. It's overly verbose and pretentious to the point it simply goes in one ear and out the other. Completely disengaging.
"One of his top 10 plagues" I LOVE IT XD
We learned the 4 gallons of water puzzle in Year 8 maths, and the teacher showed us this scene. I think there was a Runescape quest with a similar puzzle as well.
I'll be honest...half of the movies on this list, the scenes aren't understandable because the director/movie/whatever was just garbage to begin with. The other half are films where the scene/ending requires you have to have an IMAGINATION and decide for yourself what the meaning is. It's not just laid out for you in black and white.
The Die Hard Water puzzle bothered me so much as a kid I had to figure it out! There is actually another way to do this. Fill the 3 gal jug to the top. Pour all of it in the 5 gal jug. (Leaves 2 gallons empty in the 5 gal jug.) Refill the 3 gal jug and pour 2 gallons from it into the 5 gallon jug (where there was only 2 gallons of space left.) NOW you have 1 gallon in the 3 gallon jug. Empty 5 gallon jug and pour in the last gallon from the 3 gallon jug. Refill 3 gallon jug and pour it into the 5 gal jug (which currently has 1 gallon) and boom... 4 gallons in the 5 gallon jug.
I even went back to watch the scene a few times to see if they answered it... which no... of course not. I forget how old I was at the time... Want to say early teens. But MAN did that one piss me off!
Cheers, folks! Sorry for my dumb post... but I HAD to get it off my chest. Harboring that for years! Hah!
Thank you explaining Die Hard riddle!
Enemy IS all about a fear of commitment, but that doesn't make the ending any less confusing the first time you see it.
Alternate Die Hard solution:
Fill 3 gallon jug, pour into empty 5 gallon jug
Fill 3 gallon jug again, pour into the 5 gallon jug until full. 3 gallon jug now has 1 gallon left in it.
Empty out the 5 gallon jug, pour 1 gallon in the 3 gallon jug into the 5.
Fill 3 gallon jug and empty it into the 5 gallon jug.
I was stoked when I figured that out as a 15 year old.
For fuck's sake, slow down!!!
right??? when did it become not okay to breath between sentences?
git gud
Omg I thought I was the only one! It's like when I watch a movie where someone is underwater and I can't catch my breath. Same listening to this guy. Keep waiting for him to inhale.
WhatCulture, what would you think about the 1990s version of Total Recall (with Arnold)? With all the crazy clues and hidden clues the movie tells, do you think Quaid is in a dream or is it reality? I'm really curious what you think about that.
The water jug puzzle from Die Hard is actually one of the oldest logic puzzles in existence. Honestly, anybody who has ever played a Professor Layton game should've had no trouble figuring out how it was done.
Along time Ago, in an internet far away, there was a cartoon on Newgrounds about that scene with the Architect. He was a little pull-string doll that looked like Colonel Sanders. Neo would pull the string and the Architect would say the only words i ever could comprehend: "Ergo!" "Visa Vi!" "Systemic anomaly!" I can't stop laughing as I'm typing this out.
I didn't really appreciate the Architect until I went back to college and studied programming. Takes on a whole new meaning you know even the basics of code and OOP. I agree it just washed over me the first time though.
"I'm plumpy from WhatCulture.com" YASSSS 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The Holy Motors reference should've been in "10 movies nobody's seen." :-) Actually, I've seen it, and would recommend it to anyone who likes weird movies that make you say "what the hell did I just see". The scene isn't confusing, but I never read much into it and I like your interpretation. Time to watch it again, maybe.
My solution to Die Hard water bottle was always: Fill 3 gallon jug and then pour into empty 5 gallon jug. Refill the 3 gallon jug and pour into the 5 gallon jug holding 3 gallons with 2 gallons of space remaining. This will leave the 3 gallon jug with 1 gallon remaining. Now empty the 5 gallon jug, then pour the 1 gallon from the 3 gallon jug into the empty 5 gallon jug. Refill the 3 gallon jug and pour into the 5 gallon jug containing 1 gallon. The 5 gallon jug now contains 4 gallons. Might be a lot of work but was a fairly simple and straight forward solution.
The Lost Highway theory about the second half of the movie being a dream is definitely correct, and the "proof" of that is Mulholland Drive. That movie was Lost Highway in reverse; it was David Lynch trying to perfect the idea of showing two seemingly different movies, one of which is the fantasy of the other. It works a lot better in Mulholland Drive, where we see the fantasy first and reality last. Lost Highway showed reality first, and I think that's what confused people because strangely enough, there's actually less to hold on to as a viewer that way. Once the fantasy kicks in, it's just "what the hell's going on?" whereas in reverse, it's more "oooooh, so that's what she *really* thought about that guy", etc.
I've always been confused by Superman throwing his crest as plastic wrap in Superman...2?
The die hard puzzle is simpler than that. You half fill both jugs then pour the 1.5 gallons into the 5 gallon jug which has 2.5 gallons, now you have 4 gallons. They had no way to measure one gallon otherwise they could just add one gallon at a time. I looked it up when I watched the movie again recently.
I am actually stunned that the ending of The Fountain wasn t in that list... I mean, ok. I perceive myself as someone that actually enjoys searching for deeper meanings in films and what the director wants you to understand or form your own opinion about. But The Fountain?... DAMN!
I guess the unicorn will forever be confusing.
Because while Sir Ridley Scott has confirmed that he DEFINITELY made the movie believing that Deckard is a replicant, Deckard is also in the new upcoming sequel, and is noticeably older. Something that should be impossible for the short lifespan of a replicant.
no wonder they didn't explain the water puzzle. I had to rewind twice just to understand how to solve it. can you imagine trying to explain that in a movie theater while not confusing the audience and not slowing down the pace of the film.
I've been binge-watching this channel for a few weeks now and my one big complaint -- and it's a doozy -- is that the kids making these videos are generating an awful lot of content from repeatedly making the same few observations about the same few movies. Before two weeks ago, I'd literally never even heard of *Enemy* starting Jake Gyllenhall, and the whole wife-turns-into-a-spider thing has been referenced at *least* half a dozen times, in half a dozen of these videos. Which, if you're keeping score at home, is just about the most egregious sin that an otherwise admirable passel of lads could commit on RUclips since it implies (a) that they don't respect us enough to anticipate that we'd notice and call bullsh*t on it, and (b) it's being cynically wielded as a means of drumming-up what are actually recycled click-counts, to increase the channel's advertising revenues.
Thanks for the water puzzle answer. I might have got there but I didn’t care enough to really work it out, I just cared enough for it to bother me that I didn’t have the answer... it didn’t help that my mum & sister got it immediately.
Everyone is “good at” different things, I understood the conversation between Neo & “The Architect” because I do better with language & philosophy than with math problems
I'm glad I'm not the only one who's always been bugged by that damn water puzzle in DIE HARD 3.
David Lynch wants you to make up your own thoughts on his films they all have a general theme but everyone takes away something different. Truly a master of a cinema!
Love "Lost Highway" man. Patricia Arquette, Rammstein, Manson, and Bill Bax, err Pullman. Great film.
You're explanation of the water jug scene from Die Hard with a Vengeance is the same exact way they describe it in the movie.
I've thought about that 4 gallon puzzle for way too long when I was a kid
Die Hard With a Vengeance is my favorite movie! It took me weeks to figure out the water puzzle.
I never get people not understanding the architect scene. Yes the vocabulary and choice of structure used is somewhat obfuscating, but it is overall incredibly clear.
Thanks for explaining the water puzzle
The Diehard water puzzle is an OLD puzzle and not complex in the least.
Side note: For anyone who remembers a TV show called "The Mole" staring Anderson Cooper before he became famous...that puzzle was on that show also.
The Die Hard puzzle wasn't hard to understand. Zeus reasons it out, explaining it all the way, while McClane slowly figures it out to chime in on the final line. With the puzzle solved, there's no need to show it physically being done.
Slow down!
Magnolia actually gives you the answer for the frogs rain. There’s a scene where you can see someone from the quiz show audience holding a sign saying “Exodus 8:2”, which says: “If you refuse to let them go, I will send a plague of frogs on your whole country.” (Or something similar, depending on the translation). And if you watch the movie again knowing this, you’ll find that the numbers 8 and 2 are all over the place. (You can see the sign on Google Images: “Magnolia Exodus 8:2”)
How about the ending of the story Louis CK was telling in American Hustle? They never finished it
The unicorn in Blade Runner represents how the film isn't actually science fiction, it's fantasy in a dystopic futuristic spacey setting.
The picture in the Shining confused people?
The photo contained everyone who was corrupted by, and died in the Overlook.
Which is why Hallorann is not in the picture, even though he died in the Overlook. He was not corrupted.
That picture is of all the souls imprisoned in the Overlook.
Hey there good video. But would you please speak slower, it's difficult to understand what you're saying exactly.
Would you please smile less flamboyantly?
The Architect doesn't belong on the list. The overly flowery language is part of the character. It frames the simple concepts which are then pinned in place by Neo's simplistic interjections. It's sublimely easy to grasp.
Benedict is that you...? Lol!
Australia represent
I've got one word for yous guys: "PANCAKES!"
Dude, are you trying to win the world's fastest speaker award? I'm from the South, things are slower here.
If I saw a damn spider that big in a girls room, I'd tell it "You can have that bitch", shut the door, leave, and never speak of that day ever again lol
Anything for my princess!
The Architect scene isn't that complicated even if its intended to be. Lots of people understood it right in the theater:
1) After different versions of a controlling simulation had failed (entire crops were lost), one version finally works which actually gives everyone hooked into it a 'choice' to accept the fantasy or reject it...even if they aren't fully aware they are making a choice.
2) The vast majority would accept the fantasy and live out their virtual lives as batteries.
3) A small percentage would reject it and either go insane or find a way out.
4) Left unchecked, that small percentage would inevitably grow over time to become both a physical threat to the machines *and* degrade the matrix itself until it collapsed.
5) Two things are needed to regulate these problems: Physical raids in the real world to cull the humans that get out and "the one" to correct the growing anomaly in the matrix.
6) A human is always selected (randomly or specifically) as "the one" and given a code and another choice: Reject the system completely which risks the end of all humans or return the code to the mainframe which reboots the degrading matrix simulation and selects breeders to continue humanity. The whole cycle continues.
Neo made pretty much the same choice by the end of Revolutions that his predecessors did and returned to the mainframe to save humanity. However, unlike the last cycles, this time there is the inclusion of the Smith virus that (for reasons I don't understand) results in more of humanity being aware of what's happening and the Architect saying people will be allowed to leave if they wish (which they were anyway).
For all we know the Smith virus happens every time and the entire chain of events we saw is part of the matrix by design.
Everyone who keeps saying this guy talks to fast need to put down their phones, turn off their computers and have a conversation with a someone in person. You'll realize that this guy speaks clearly and at a pretty average speed.
lol thats so funny cause I can't even count how many comments I just scrolled through of people saying this guy talks to fast, I had no problem understanding him at all, thats the last thing I would of even thought to comment on this video. But I was wondering why I didn't notice that but almost everyone else did, thanks for clearing it up for me ;P
All of Inland Empire. It's like a real dream where nothing makes any sense. Took me days to finish all of it.
Yeah I remember watching Die Hard with a Vengeance for the first time as a kid and not having a clue how they did the water puzzle.
The only way the matrix would have made sense was if the Wachowski Sisters were allowed to script it the way they wanted to... humans as processing power. Instead the studio decided viewers were too dumb to understand it and the rest of the movie(s) dont make any frigging sense.
I'm surprised that Donnie Darko didn't get a mention.
Architect scene is a lot of things, including being a good example of a movie character babbling, but it's not "complicated."
The Room is one entire confusing masterpiece
Holy shit that giant tarantula is the stuff of nightmares
For the Die Hard puzzle, it can also be solved more easily as follows: fill up the 3 gallon jug and pour that into the 5 gallon jug. Now fill up the 3 gallon jug again and fill the 5 gallon jug the rest of the way. You now have 1 gallon of water in the 3 gallon jug, so empty the full 5 gallon jug, and pour the 1 gallon in the 3 gallon jug into it. Now just fill the 3 gallon jug completely and pour that into the 5 gallon jug containing your 1 gallon. Thus 4 gallons...
LMAO at the die hard with a vengeance 4 gallon mystery! No spills!
