This video could stand alongside one of those multi-million subscriber channels. Incredibly well put together, perfectly mixed sound levels, engaging cadence of delivery of information, and a very thorough and in-depth look into something that might have been and (thankfully) never was. Though i donwonder how my english teacher in year 7 would have shown this version kf rhe movie to us.
I do like how this script addresses how bad the dirt is in Texas. As a kid in texas when I first read the book, I was baffled by the idea that they made them dig holes out in the middle of the desert. Texas dirt is hard as hell, it's why we don't have more basements even though we're technically in tornado alley. For a weak fat kid to suddenly have to dig like that (or even a fit kid like in this script) in the heat is just cruel and unusual punishment.
Just subbed after you came up on my feed! Liked the vid, I watch a lot of retrospectives. You have a good talent for presenting and editing. A few ideas: 1) shorter run time, I feel like the sweet spot is 20-30 mins or like 1 hr plus lol 2) slightly better mic - don’t need to go crazy, but the crackle really picked up on my headphones. Blue Snowball is a great place to start Keep up the good work! Can’t wait to see where you take the channel
I actually just bought a new mic (and it was a proper expensive one too) so I don't think that that was the problem. I tend to go REALLY loud in the beginning and then taper off after a couple seconds. More of a me issue than a mic issue. But I still appreciate the constructive criticism! I tend to not really go long with a lot of these videos so this is an outlier, but again, I will keep that in mind.
It's fascinating how similar the world is to the world of Southland tales. I'd always thought of Southland as a very post-911 story and I don't really know how to process the idea that it was at least partially conceived by or before 1999.
@@TheGeekInformant I think the author of the story should get a chance to rewrite his story make it. I don’t know. Make it a TV show on on his original rejected idea for this original screenplay

That's the idea! Sachar knew it best since he lived there!

Long run times are excellent for guys like me, who listen to video essays while we work. 45mins-1hr15mins is the sweet spot, for me.

I guess things kinda just... worked out in that way.
Hey love the vid but would hope moving forward you don’t use ai images please
AI if fine, loser
I just grabbed the best looking image for the look of the character on Google. 🤷
@ sorry dude I just don’t want to see ai rendered images in my video. It’s off putting
@@alexisogbemudia5458 Okay, I'll think about it for next time.
