John Goodman is a national treasure.
Nic cage is goonna steal him
Tell It Animated it seems you and I watch the same videos I liked the evaluation of leather face.
@@ciaranhoyne6886 John Goodman should play Leatherface. You're welcome.
Haha I work from home so I always need something in the background or else I get bored and sleepy, Cinefix is one of my favorites :)
he's an earthly delight
The Room scene also shows another motif: It outlines why his grandpa is GOOD while his mom's captor wasn't. Because where the captor openly attempts to engage with Jack, the grandpa pretends not to see him. When his face is covered by the railing, it evokes the scene with the captor and the closet. But when grandpa walks into view but isn't looking at Jack, it shows that they are entirely different--almost opposite figures. Grandpa is kind and inviting specifically because he does not directly invite Jack. He just pretends he doesn't see him, talks loudly about good food, and lets Jack come instead of trying to force him out.
Which not only separates him from their captor, but is also a really smart way to engage with a child who's only had bad experiences with adult men.
Thanks for your description. I remember not ever feeling any dread at that scene. The relief kicked in after he saw him but had the emotional intelligence not to directly engage with Jack. As opposed to Old Nick who is right up in Jack's grill so to speak. I suppose there remains some uncertainty with the last relief coming when Jack joins him for breakfast, and it all pays off. But I feel the grandparents' home had already been established as a place we could feel safe, coming from the hospital.
*_The Room_*
I’m sorry for nagging but do you really need to caps the most generic adjective of all time??
I looked at this comment prior to finishing the vid and I really thought you were talking about Tommy Wiseau
The framing is also interesting between the two scenes: The captor is obscured by horizontal lines in the POV shot while the POV shot through the bannisters doesn't obscure any of Grandpa with objects in the foreground. The former is presented as more threatening because we can't completely see him while the latter is presented in a way where there's nothing to hide and therefore feels more at ease.
You know what else is brilliant? Your videos. They're always a pleasure to watch.
Yasao Kenshi Agreed
Beat me to it. I said a pattern, and they are indeed brilliant.
I couldn't say it any better. Great work.
Agreed
Indeed they are!
"You can skip ahead if you don't want spoilers"
*skips ahead to 10 Cloverfield Lane, still gets The Artist spoiled...*
Came to say this.
And they recap them twice! I was prepared the first time but not the second.
Exactly😂😂
My thoughts exactly!
I SKIPPED THE ARTIST. for nothing. But i forgive you guys.
10 Cloverfield is such an underrated movie
Mary Elizabeth Winstead is such a babe on top of that.
First time i saw it i thought it was going to be one of my favorites. but then in the end thats all you can think of, that goddamn ending..
No the ending is important to the overall story
I actually love the ending, something about it just works for me. I think with or without the ending through, I'd still think it's one of my favorites of all time
The whole movie was rewritten when Bad Robot bought the film not just the ending. The movie still has no direct connection to the original Cloverfield movie. They don't take place in the same universe and there isn't really any connection between the aliens and the cloverfield monster which comes from earth (not an alien). There are a number of reasons the ending is the way it is. It's not even really a twist because they tell you pretty early on in the movie that there are aliens, just because the guy is crazy doesn't change that it just causes doubt.
10 Cloverfield Lane deserves so much more praise like this!
Agreed.
Loved that movie.
I never saw the scene in Room that way. But then I've seen people try to draw shy people out that way all the time. Offering interaction without forcing it. Old Nick clearly didn't want to give Jack the option.
Me too. I never once thought of the scene that way. It was extremely sweet
It's because you viewed it as a parent from the parents perspective with an expectation on the outcome (action if the child) because of your past experience.
However if you view the scene from the child's perspective without your past experiences as a guide but the child's experience... Well then it is as the video explained.
"Subvert expectations, they said.
People will love it, they said." - Rian Johnson, 2017
"You were never really here"- Most underrated movie of the year.
I can never convince my friends to watch this masterpiece.
I did, he loved it. We are very into "scum being killed" stuff.
You have a good friend
@H. G. Wells *Someone who doesn't know a shit about direction*
I liked the movie... But to be honest it's a really slow burner.. I could only watch it when i was bored out of ma mind
I won't lie, when I read "look at patterns", I thought it would be a video on how designers use textures and fabrics to convey emotion/et al via film. lol
Teapot S same; i was confused 😂
so do i. I thought The Shinning was going to be here because of the square carpet on the hotel and how that represents the maze and madness on Jack.
I did too
I would actually love to see a video on this!
@@chloverfield99 me too
Fantastic work, as always. I had a slightly different reading of Joe's reaction. Instead of looking forward to release (in the form of violence) I read his motivation as a desperate attempt to save the girl. But he's not trying to save her from physical abuse - he's trying to save her from becoming violent and emotionally deadened the way he is. He knows that the sort of abuse she's been enduring could lead to that outcome, and the thought of someone else living a life like his motivates him like nothing else has thus far. And thus the reveal of the dead man simultaneously means that the girl is safe from physical abuse - but that she's succumbed to the emotional fate he was dreading. Which is why he stays there and mourns, before going to find her and take her out of the house.
Simon Strange SPOT ON!
Simon Strange wow, excellent take. I never interpreted it that way but it’s an incredible realization.
I think both of you are correct. What's in Joe´s mind in that moment is way more complex than to settle in only one of those interpretations.
You Were Never Really Here is a masterpiece and Lynne Ramsay is a genius.
The sniper scene with Jake aiming down the sights...the door though out the whole scene is open lol
You had me until "Room" I don't remember thinking anything was off in the grandfather scene. What I thought you were going to go for, and what I do remember surprising me, was seeing the room when they were in it vs. when it was empty. The way they made it seem much bigger when they were in room.
Yeah, although cinematically it's tied to Jack's perspective with Old Nick by that point in the film the grandfather has been established to be the kind foil to Joy's biological father, who can't be a decent parent to save his life. I also felt no sense of threat from the grandfather because he was so clearly developed as NOT a bad person, and if he suddenly had been it would have felt cheap.
It’s a beautiful scene, but yeah - I never thought he would do any harm to Jack, he was just brilliant at getting him out of his shell without putting any pressure on him!
Visually it’s similar to the scene with Old Nick but the feeling is completely different
Same
+Johanna Sarkar Probably another way of looking at it, which probably is more brilliant!
As someone who hasn’t seen the movie I felt mild menace from the child’s point of view of the shots. I wondered a child alone with a man who had just escaped one molester please don’t let this other man be one too. So I felt relief that it was innocuous. Obvi I didn’t know step granddad was established as good in the movie but this is what the scene evoked without background for me
I skipped ‘the Artist’ segment since I hadn’t seen it and used the time stamp to skip it, then a spoiler for ‘the Artist’ was told in the ‘10 Cloverfield Lane’ segment 🙃
Lmao
Well...
Douchy move by the creator
That dog is a very good boy
Awesome
I disagree with your reading of that Room scene. I believe the step-grandfather was just super aware of how shy the kid was and giving the kid an opportunity to come out of his shell if he chose to. I didn't take away anything other than the step-grandfather being a cool guy and not being pushy. I thought it was a tender moment and would never in a million years have guessed anybody saw anything sinister there.
I don't necessarily think yours or Cinefix's perspective are really the opposite. I think we can recognize that the step-grandfather is being cool and attempting to not be pushy, but the camera work is definitely done to show how uncomfortable the kid is and that trauma still haunts him.
I didn't even think about the scene in the room, it was a tender, nice moment for me, but yes, the camera work is really similar to that scene, but I think it's more to show a contrast.
Absolutely
Buscador Final
If it helps you understand what I'm talking about, I'm referring to the part where CineFix says "we couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of dread here - a growing concern that Joy's stepfather, Leo, might not have the best intention." That's what I disagree with, since it's not at all what I took from that scene. At no point did I feel any dread for the kid's safety or concern about Leo's motives. Quite the opposite. I genuinely thought he was going about it the right way, playfully and well-intentioned. What I saw was Leo was putting the kid at ease and giving the kid an opportunity to approach him in his own time and on his own terms.
I understand that the framing of the scene, the way it was shot, was in part a call back to how earlier scenes of the kidnapper were shot. I just don't think using that method again was intended to evoke dread or concern, but rather intended to evoke a contrast. The framing of the scene and the parallels in filming approach is not the point I disagree with.
If you feel I have misunderstood something, then I'd appreciate some clarification.
When I saw "Room" I did think the grandfather's intentions might not be good. But I didn't quit know why I thought that. I was afraid the scene was going to end up being Jack gets abused. But it was just a normal conversation. I like the way this scene was explained.
WARNING! If you skip around the films that you haven’t seen yet, you may still receive a spoiler! The 10 Cloverfield Lane discussion references The Artist’s discussion, spoiling The Artist. Now, the only film I haven’t seen here is Jarhead, but I don’t want to be spoiled: if someone would like to just say whether or not it gets spoiled later in the video, that’d be lovely.
They talk about it in the You We're Never Really Here segment, but it's not really a spoiler.
Yes in short
too late:(
I know right i was like ok haven't seen The Artist so went to 10 Cloverfield Lane, and then they totally spoil The Artist. Nice one guys!!!
Don't watch the ending montage, it spoils all the films.
Breaking down Jarhead made me realise the door was already open and therefore unable to be slammed open. My disappointment is immense, and my day is ruined.
If you watch the cut carefully, yes the door is open, it's open during the entire scene. The "bang" isn't the door flying open, it the bang of the guy coming up the stairs.
@@adlegacy56 Yes, I think you are correct. Likely the sound of a heavy booted foot on the stairway landing. It's not the door, since you can see the door is completely still when he enters and not moving - which it would be slightly if it had just been kicked open.
Regarding the scene in Room, I was, in no way, thinking the grandfather had bad intentions. I saw him, throughout the whole last half of the movie, as a kind and caring man. I did love your analysis though. I can definitely see the connection between what Jack thought of Old Nick and the grandfather. It makes perfect sense to see Jack scared of him because of his relationship with Old Nick.
Also, You Were Never Really Here is a brilliant movie, and upon watching it a second time, I realized it's one of the best movies of 2018. Even the title of the movie is brilliant. It could represent multiple things, but in my opinion, it represents Joe's relationship with his violent past. His past is scarred with so much death and violence, that he just accepts it as apart of him. So, his violent past is "always" there with him, but at the same time is "never really there" since he's so accustomed to it and never notices it (if that makes sense).
I think what separates Cinefix from other movie essay channels is that where others tend to dissect a movie as a whole to study their brilliance, Cinefix pinpoints certain scenes from movies that may be overlooked as a whole because they’re not considered to be traditionally “good”. Cinefix finds brilliance in moments throughout all movies, and can make a viewer use their brains to find these moments themselves, by educating us on what can make what seems like a normal scene, great
These videos make me appreciate the intricacies of film making so much more. They open my eyes to the meaning of the complexities behind camera angles to prop placement. These videos are amazing, and they deserve so much more praise for their incredible deep dives into the art of film. Thank you!
Why is no one watching RUclips this season?? This kind of content should have more views at this quality.
Still don’t understand how John Goodman hasn’t got an Oscar yet!
For your next list of Brilliant Moments in Film; that moment in the bar in Bad Times at the El Royale seems like a good shout.
Hes been nominated a few times but its always in years when great films come out
I really appreciate you guys mentioning You Were Never Really Here, ESPECIALLY these scenes. It’s one of my favorite films and it deserves so much more.
Your voice is so much more pleasant than the watchmojo bell ends that i just unsubscribed from. Love it. Keep it up.
God, the Artist was so good. I watched it in a film class for my minor. And man, the future of filmmakers is going to be tragic because I was probably the only person who voiced an opinion in loving the movie for how careful and creative it was to represent the films of the 20s. Every other person watching hated that it was silent and black and white. God help us
This was one of your more poetic narrations. Really was a privilege to watch and learn. Well done. Kudos to the whole team.
That line about respect that Emmett says to Howard is also pretty brilliant in feeding his ego and making him think that Michelle is still on his side.
So glad You Were Never Really Here finally got some attention
This was by FAR the best of these 5 Brilliant Moment videos. Whew, saving this to study for my screenplays.
Personally love the OG Cloverfield more than its predecessor but I won't deny that 10 Cloverfield Lane is a far better movie.
That Cloverfield Paradox tho. Let's just forget about that.
I think what you are trying to say is Cloverfield has a better story or more entertaining but TCL has better cinematography and acting.
This was such a great video! I find myself wishing you did more countdown videos like you used to, but after this video I realized how much I love these Brilliant Moments videos. Every time I watch them I re-fall in love with film.
This video is a perfect example of why I'm subscribed to you guys. You guys are brilliant yourselves!
That Jack Russell deserved a best supporting nomination.
Such a good boi!
OOooo that was 25 minutes of goodness passed way too quickly. Possibly the best of these Brilliant Moments yet.
Next: Have you guys done Brilliant Moments in subtle foreshadowing? (this is a subtle foreshadow!)
haha not very subtle I would say
Thank you so much for bringing back this format. Every video opens my eyes to something I wouldnt have noticed and i love ya for it
*Skips The Artist scene to not get it spoiled*
**Still gets it spoiled in the Cloverfield part**
This channel has to be one of the most agreeable and appreciated realms on the interweb today. Everyone is just a movie fan thanking you for putting out a great series of videos, and it's such a breath of fresh air among the usual cesspit that comes with anonymous comments. Lovely, lovely, lovely.
That 10 cloverfield moment shocked me so much :O This movie is so underrated
There was a very similar scene in Breaking Bad. You know if you've watched it. If they considered scenes from TV that would probably take the subversion cake.
Describing a moment and the way we perceive is surely hard. They made a whole essay out of it. Bravo.
Love your analysis of You Were Never Really Here, one of my favorite films of the year
Thank you for your accurate and compassionate understanding of Jack's trauma. The line about the lasting effects of trauma, even when removed from the traumatic situation, is so true, and this film portrays it brilliantly. Thank you for your poignant analysis!
This is my favorite RUclips channel about Motion Pictures. Thank you guys! LIKE IT/LOVE IT has lead me to awesome films I wouldnt have otherwise seen, including Attack the Block!
All of your videos are brilliant and I truely love your gentle voice. Thank you so much!
I LOVE your list videos!! So well thought out and put together. Makes me love film even more
Your videos are so good, you love cinema and know how to transpose it and dissect a scene to the viewer without being self-indulgent or convoluted. Thank you for real quality content
Brilliant moments in staging and mise-en-scene? Please?
Finding a new Cinefix video up for me to watch while having breakfast can really make my entire day. thank you guys
I love you CineFix for videos exactly like this. I've seen all of these, and guessed at some of the things you've covered but you put it to text/speech.
I think this is my favorite video of yours so far. Great selections and great analysis as always.
You guys are the amazing!!!!!!!!!! Keep the amazing work up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please some do some top ten videos for:
1) Cameos
2) Comic Relief Characters
3) Fourth Wall Breaks
4) Franchises
5) Musicals
This channel is pure gold! PUREEE!
Welcome back cinefix - feels like you haven't really been around for a bit (I appreciate you've had stuff going on). And now you are back in style! This is what I subbed for, and you properly delivered. :)
Oh my lord. I can listen now. I can actually listen.
Wtf
Try to tell this to a Helen Keller, you'll feel it
I just want to know what the fuck it means. 97 people upvoted this comment, and it has no context. Unless its an obscure reference.... or... idk.
I can see now damn. Lol jk
I seriously love your videos so much, please keep making more.
I love almost all of what Cinefix does, but there's nothing on the internet quite like these brilliant moments videos. Keep up the great work!
It's truly a pleasure watching these videos, informative and enjoyable at the same time and perfectly executed. The analysis and the narration is spot on as always. Congratulations and keep it up, I know I'll be waiting for the next installment.
Best video you've done in months! Good to see you guys have still got it. And now I have some movies to watch. :)
You Were Never Really Here is a masterpiece that will be under looked for years, but deserves so much more.
I am always amazed at the perspicacity of your analyses! Thank you, thank you thank you!
Beautiful! I loved these takes on the movies reviewed. It will keep me watching for patterns in more films. I'll also watch for another video expanding further patters in movies.
I totally didn't understand/agree with your reading of #5 but then I remembered I read the book first so I knew there was nothing to be concerned about. Masterful video!
Seeing clips of Room and especially after you said the word ordinary. Makes me wanna watch it again. I saw the scene the same way, the story is portrayed through Jack's point of view after all. I can't imagine how scared he is when all he had was two polar opposite people in his life. And I like that the film doesn't spend all its time in captivity but shows the blessings of an every day life afterwards. It hopefully makes you appreciate the world through Jack's 5-year-old eyes for a while after watching it. Anyway I could ramble on about that one but great selection!
I love your analyses and comparisons. Makes me look at movies with a more critical, searching eye. Thanks.
the way you talk about film is amazing... I have and can listen to the scripts being read for hours!
Probably one of the best videos yet. Fantastic video essay.
thank you guys, it was incredible! Everyday i´m learning something different with you!
Absolutely superb as usual. Thanks for making these.
10 Cloverfield Lane is one of the best thrillers to come out in the last 10 years for sure. Room is maybe one of my personal favorites of all time. I ADORED this video!
You guys are SOO GOOD at what you do, CineFix! 😊
I have enjoyed all of your these videos. They have made me look at cinema in a new light! It’s made me appreciate it as an art form and not just just a form of entertainment. I was to thank everyone at Cinefix for creating these amazing thought provoking videos!! Please never stop doing these.
I'm impressed every time that I see one of your videos. The deconstruction on every scene is genius and I always wonder how you did that. Continue to educate and to entertain me at the same time.
Thanks to your videos i expand my movie knowledge... And pulls me back to watch movies again..
This is the best kind of videos on this channel which i subscribed it for. Thank you for great video.
I absolutely LOVE your film analyses.
When I saw the video in my subscriptions, I literally muttered myself “Aw hell yeah...” Great to see you guys back again!
This is the best video I've seen this month at least, so insightful. Thanks for sharing
Oh man I hope we're back on the two week schedule, these videos are to die for.
God I love this channel so so much!! And oh god, the movie 'room' had emotionally broken me down that year and watching that again brings tears to my eyes in an overwhelming way
What an amazing video. Brilliant. "We learn how we're more like these characters than we would have guessed." Wow.
God, I love You Were Never Really Here so much. It is just so perfect and this video encapsulates that. Thanks!
great selection and explanation, as always. Thx 4 Ur work guys!
Beautiful video essay. Lots to ponder and explore. Thanks.
Jeez, I was on the verge of tears from relief at No. 5. My heart stopped when the grandpa was talking under his breath, but when the truth came out I was so happy. To avoid ranting about child molesters, I'll end the comment here.
Brilliant analysis, very interesting! Thank's for the video!
well thanks to this video i got to see "you were never really here" and have also added "room" to my queue :) thank you for the depth, really brought my attention to movies I wasn't even curious about before
Please keep them coming! Love your work😊
That breakdown of You were never Really Here was phenomenal.
Joaquin wasn’t bad either
just wanted to say i love your videos, and i'm still trying to unravel the effects of trauma in my life, and when you said "this moment is such a phenomenal investigation of how anger, rage, and violence are actually just protective mechanisms against otherwise inescapable pain," it hit me like a freight train. because for one it translated an explanation for why the trauma happened in the first place, and two it clarified my more embarrassing responses to that trauma. still trying to carve this gordian knot with a sword and you definitely gave me a softer edge. thank you.
Wow. Thank you so much for sharing. Of all the kind words our viewers have written (and our viewers have been wonderfully supportive), these have touched me perhaps the most. I wish you the best of luck, the relief of your pain, and the softest of edges :)
Bravo! Excellent break down of these moments of film!
I feel like this is one of the best videos on this topic I've ever seen I was entranced entire time just wow great job!
You guys never cease to amaze me. Well done.
What a great video. I could watch these all day
This is one of your deepest videos. A brilliant explanation of the usage of drama, as Aristotle understood the cathartic experience of watching or reading a powerful story. It's a window into our own psyche. Wow!
I almost missed out on this brilliant video ... it literaly got taken down in the middle of me watching because i had to stop for a few hours after the first movie moment
I am so glad i found it again a week later! Great job!!
Obsession has always been an interesting question for me. Movies that show that all-encompassing obsession to beautiful effect are just lovely. Jarhead, The Piano and even Source Code are just wonderful.
You guys are absolute f'ing geniuses. Nobody, and I mean nobody (professors, content producers, theorists), does analysis like you guys.
Oh how I've missed your list videos. Keep 'em coming!
This was extremely well written. Please keep up the great work!
