Been wanting to talk about this movie forever so I'm glad I finally get too with the last video of 2023! Hope you all had a great christmas and a happy new year!!!
What song plays at 1:20
YOU'RE TELLING ME MY SCHOOL TOOK ME TO SEE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL WHEN SPEED RACER WAS JUST RIGHT THERE?? AAAAAHHHH
crystal skull was also good tho
Susan Sarandon's Mom Racer is peak motherly character
Ah yes the greatest live action anime adaptation ever made.
I'm glad someone else recognises this to be the case. In my opinion the greatest movie ever made
The opening 12 minutes or so of this movie always makes me cry. It does an incredible job of providing all the backstory and exposition to get us to the “present time,” and the start of the movie, all while making us emotionally invested in the family and the individual characters. My eyes tear up when the Racer family is watching on TV as Rex is, apparently, killed and I cry when Speed is about to break the all time record currently held by Rex as the family watches conflicted over whether they should be happy or sad if Speed breaks Rex’s record, but then Speed himself, racing against Rex’s “ghost,” eases his foot off the accelerator so that he just barely misses breaking the record.
Then we get the great transition to the opening title including those great few notes of music.
And the movie has just begun.
It’s very odd that you say that. I had to stop watching the movie at about the same time. I’m hoping to try watching it again at some point.
@@andrewhigdon8346I will admit that this movie is an unabashed assault on the senses and some people straight up can't handle that. This really isn't a movie for everyone. But for me, what makes this movie so great is that it absolutely nails everything that it sets out to do. It's also incredibly sincere about what it wants to be. For me, that is the mark of a masterpiece. No matter what you're trying to do, whether it be peak introspective, subtle writing that appeals to Scorsese's definition of cinema, or a bombastic comic book spectacle with cheesy dialogue and one-dimensional characters. Sincerity with skill and talent will always create a masterpiece. This is the movie they wanted to make, and they nailed it, even if it isn't for everyone. Nothing about it feels corporate. It feels incredibly genuine, like this is exactly the film that they wanted to make.
The villains are the opposite of subtle, but MAN is that performance spectacular. Keeping everything in focus, like a drawing, is conventionally poor filmmaking, but they were intentionally trying to make it look and feel like an anime. The action is insanely bombastic and over the top, but the characters behind it have a skill and sincerity to their performance that wouldn't be out of place in peak cinema. Every choice this movie makes that turns people off was done incredibly well to the best of everyone's collective ability. Regardless of subjective taste, in my opinion, that makes it a objective masterpiece.
It's kind of like how the Mario movie was a pretty poor movie, but a fantastic Mario movie. The only difference is that while you can clearly tell that speed racer was completely authentic, the Mario movie feels very much like an illumination film with its celebrity voice casting and song choices. So although it had many Mario fans grinning ear to ear the whole film, it still feels like a corporate movie. It doesn't feel like the director's unfiltered vision for what they wanted to do.
Ultimately, it's okay if the movie isn't for you. It's okay if what we love about it doesn't appeal to you.
i had tears of joy for half the damn movie........It was like nothing i had ever seen.....or felt.....it was so awesome
to see speed come to life..............no other movie got me
the way this one did......Make sure you watch out for the car acrobatic team! Those guys are mean
I'd sometimes watch this movie twice in one day when i was a kid...i was obsessed
Here he comes
Here comes Speed Racer
He’s a demon on wheels
He’s a demon, and he’s gonna be chasin’ after someone.
That's one of the best theme songs ever.
@@bowserbreaker2515
Indeed it is.
Apart from the theme for Albert The 5th Musketeer and many others too.
For the love of everything that is good i need this movie in 4k uhd disc format please, its a crime it doesn't already exist.
Yes. This movie goes all in on color and an HDR treatment would bring it to a whole new level. The same goes for Tron Legacy with its incredibly dark backgrounds against bright lines.
i have not stopped endorsing this movie and its FINALLY gaining traction after YEARS OF ME DEFENDING THIS MOVIE IM SO UNBELIEVABLY HAPPY
"You're goddamn right."
I love how many people have come around to this movie over the years. This movie played a big part in getting me into Speed Racer and I'll forever love it for that.
John Goodman is a national treasure.
I always tell my friends “what’s your favorite movie”. I then go on to tell you have to movie this film and only this movie anytime you want to watch anything. A Movie that never gets old. My answer is always speed racer, it’s dynamic and engaging but not tiring. It’s a movie i could watch over and over forever.
Two of my favorite movies are at total opposite ends of that realism scale. Speed Racer is entirely CGI around the actors, whereas I'm not sure if Ford v. Ferrari has a single piece of CGI in the entire film. Both tell brilliant stories about passion and love for cars and racing, and both manage to speak intimately to every gearhead in the world. Speed Racer is what racing looks like in the imagination of every kid who just got his first Hot Wheels track. Ford v. Ferrari is practically a love letter showing us that someone out there cares about cars just as much as we do.
Two of my favourite movies of all time are,
The Incredibles and
The Shawshank Redemption.
Ford VS Ferrari & Speed Racer are two great movies too.
Well put.
Ford V Ferrari has 1048 VFX shots 😅
It's funny you say that actually, because you'll never guess which car the Mach 5 was based on 😂 This is a full circle moment
This and the Spider verse Movies are like comfort movies for me. They are just so great.
Your favorite movie doesn't have John Goodman beating up a ninja, so it's inferior.
Yes it does, because this is my favorite movie 😌
More like a nonja, terrible what passes for a ninja these days - John Goodman
The special effects on the movie actually gave it a fresh look. Wait till we get a reboot cartoon of the speed racer, i can bet you the makers of that reboot will take inspiration from this movies effects.
I regret ignoring this movie for as long as I did. It was a person on an Internet forum that got me to take a look at it, and I was so glad that I had! It was absolutely beautiful and that final race was incredible!
What I like about this movie is that it tried to feel somewhat accurate to the original 1967 cartoon which is unironically great. This movie didn't need to be super realistic, and it wasn't.
I always loved this movie ever since I was a kid. I was never put off by the techniques this film used because it felt like the world this movie is in really deserved it. I’m super upset that we never got a sequel because man, we really do need one right now
I watched the cartoon as a kid in the 70’s, and loved every minute of it. The design of this movie is a dead ringer mirror of a PlayStation Snowboarding game from the late 90’s. The tracks, the swirling “cinematography”, the whole feel of it. Stylized would be an understatement. It’s kind of intoxicating.
I was four when this movie first came out, and I was nothing short of obsessed with this movie. The DS game I unlocked every character, I got almost all the Hot Wheels I could find. I owned the movie on DVD, it was my life. It was kind of a surprise as a kid to learn the movie wasn't very popular. Back then I was mostly interested in the cars and the action, but now as I'm older I feel validated in watching my favorite movie of all time be re-evaluated as a forgotten classic.
"The Wachowskis pointed the bat at Saturn, and the ball landed in the parking lot at Denny's" Mikey Newman, Movies With Mikey about this film
This movie is a great example of “who cares what the critics think.” If the fans liked it, then it was a good movie. I genuinely enjoyed this movie, and I watch it every now and then. We the fans should tell the critics that they can say what they want, but the more important group thought it was good.
Man when his mom talks to speed that shit gets me everytime dawg I miss my mama bro damm
And his Dad too.
I've seen it in the cinema and loved every bit of it.
In addition to the anime connection, the movie looks like an arcade racing game. Especially one from around 2000, or earlier: oversaturated colors, flat lighting, flat trees, textures along the tracks stretched "track-wise" to look better at speed, not-matching skyboxes. They even have a frickin' ghost car! The tracks were made by video game track designers.
However, not one video about Speed Racer mentions video game connection - so, maybe it's just me.
If they ever rerelease this in theaters I will be first in line. I managed to see it in IMAX when it came out and it is still one of the best cinema experiences of my life. The fact that there hasn't been a 4k release is downright criminal.
I can't imagine how good this was on an IMAX screen....I probably would've hurled several times throughout the movie, just from the camera angles. ;)
You deserve so much more recognition man. Even if I don’t agree with this take your quality in your vids and the way you talk about your thoughts are enough for anybody to sub. It sucks your videos aren’t doing as well as they used to.☹️
again, you deserve so much more recognition.
Like any great movie, it makes you care about its characters, and then the action is completely bananas yet strangely easy to follow.
I think it would do well in a limited re-release in theatres through word of mouth. Modern audiences are bound to enjoy it they just dont know it yet.
Light years ahead of its time this movie is absolutely brilliant I am blown away by the fact that they managed to make this movie and bring speed racer to life.....I lived and died with speed in the cartoon every day when i was young.......my god you guys made a movie
that touched my heart in a way I can't even explain......you brought out something that is linked to my childhood....
something that makes me so happy. watching this movie was just pure and total joy.....you guys brought speed racer to life
and dear god I love you for it .......the attention to detail....all kinds of easter eggs.....absolute masterpiece go speed racer
GO
OKAY BUT THAT INTRO THO
I think one of the greatest things a piece of art can do is be sincere. That is art in it's purest form.
I was never able to pick a favorite movie, it's between Spirited Away, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, and the Iron Giant. Having been to film school, I was enamored by the pretentious, cinematic masterpieces like 2001 Space Odyssey or Yojimbo. But after watching a shit ton of those movies, I realised that I always went back to those 4 movies. I really like these movies, these fantastical movies about the realest emotions. Another one of my favorite movies is the 1995 Jumanji. It's a movie with monkeys driving motorbikes, but also about a story of a boy dealing with his fears, and loss of time. That sheer contrast is almost beautiful.
I remember watching this movie with some friends and for some reason it made me physically sick. I was dry heaving and clenching my gut. Watching this video made my stomach church a little as a result. Good job.
I like that FINALLY, after 16 years, people are starting to see the work of art that this film is. Unfortunatly, it was overshadowed by Iron Man's launch, if it came around by today's standarts of moviemaking, it would probably render AT LEAST 1 oscar. (sorry for any tippo, english is not my first language.)
They should make another movie or series but animated in the Spiderverse style. Make it a sequel or just tell a different story.
Personally I'd prefer a sequel series continuing the story of the movie, explore new race circuits etc and the Spiderverse animation would enhance the movie's visual style.
Always appreciate it when this film gets love👏
Great video essay for what I would agree is a very fun movie. Thanks for that!
This film was great. Fun fact: Emile Hirsh says that the studio is considering making a sequel.
I think it’s the best anime adaptation before One Piece
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO! 😭 GOOD STUFF GOOD STUFF !!!
A really cool movie, it was so much better than I expected and still holds up quite well.
thank you for doing this movie it doesn't get enough love. I am now Subscribed.
While I don’t see what the brief mention of super hero movie fits in This was a great essay as always Mitch, to go along with the brief mention of Snyder here I think the reason Rebel moon is doing better than Batman V Superman is that he’s now making a new story that’s made perfectly with his style instead of forcing other characters into it.
Happy New Year, Super Frame!!!
If beyblade and hot wheels had a baby HELL YEA!!!
God speed racer is also my Roman Empire! I legit talk about this movie so much my friends get annoyed now… but it’s just like so good I can’t stop talking about it. I truly believe this was the greatest movie ever made and I will fully die on that hill. This movie is a love letter to film, it is beautiful, inspiring, and everything art should be!
Thank you so much for the video! Yesterday I watched it with my nephew. It was hard to tear myself away. It reminded me of my childhood.)
When people says name a anime movie adaptation that was good... SPEED RACER!
I was just thinking about this movie the other day and wanted to see more about it.
I rememeber seeing this in theaters and not remembering it being so...colorful.
...I love it
This is my favorite movie of all time, thanks for this video!
This is my favorite movie. I am usually crying at multiple parts throughout because of how emotionally sincere and impactful it is, it's like my go to emotional support movie for when things are going wrong.
Happy New Year, Bub!
I LOVE THIS MOVIE SO MUCH AND I'M SO GLAD SOMEONE IS FINALLY TALKING ABOUT IT!!! THE OPENING TITLE CARD OF THE VIDEO WHERE YOU PLAYED THE SPEED TRAVER THEME LITERALLY GAVE ME CHILLS!!! ❤❤❤
By far the most underappreciated movie ever
Speed Racer is my Roman Empire as well
I love this movie so much man, I made a video about it too and I’m so happy that there’s still people who care about it
YESSSSSSSSSSS I LOVE WHEN THEY MAKE STUFF LIEK THIS, SPEED RACER IS MY FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME AND CHANGED MY LIFEEEEEEEEEEEE YEESSSSSSS, intro very very very good
I missed this originally, thought it was a cash grab. Then i saw it on RUclips for free recently and holy shit this is one of the best adaptations of an anime ive ever seen.
seen it when i was 6 been my favorite movie eversince. wish i wasnt only 1yrsold when it was in theaters lol
i need this movie in 4k
OMG, can you IMAGINE the beauty/clarity of THAT print?? Wowzers!
This film is a legit masterpiece.
i seriously need a speed racer 2. idc what it will take. there is no other sci fi racing like movies that hit like speed racer or redline.
Havent seen the video yet but that title is real asf
One of my top 3 hands down
THE goat is back with a banger video about a goated movie.
watched this last month, still a really fun movie
If I had to choose between watching The Matrix or Speed Racer on a lazy Sunday, I'd go with Speed Racer. nuff said
Between iron man and Indiana jones.... brooooooo... no wonder. I friggin loved this movie as a kid and had no idea it bombed
We’re winning the race with this one 🗣️ 🔥
How can anyone’s shave be THAT clean?
ITS SO GOOD OMG I DONT CARE IF NOBODY LIKES IT ITS THE GOAT
Honestly i just loved the fact that they managed to pull off the look and the design of the mach 5 similar to the way 8t was in the anime.
The way you feel about this movie is exactly how I feel about Ang Lee's Hulk and the 2012 movie John Carter both movies are sincere that's what I love about them
I think this was the first movie I saw in theaters
It is a really good adaption of a cartoon into "live action." I think people just wanted another Fast and Furious or something, completely missing the point. I love it and my kids love it. It IS Speed Racer.
Wow timing. I gotta see it now, hadn't heard of this movie before todays news.
Speed Racer is a crazy movie indeed.
Apart from The Shawshank Redemption & The Incredibles and of course many others.
Agreed the visuals are unparalleled til this day I had 3 movies on my iPod touch growing up Napoleon dynamite step brothers and this all classics all from limewire in HD but this movie needs no lore or sequel this movie is perfect on its own
I need something new from Speed Racer, like a game or something.
I agree
I love this film so much and it makes me so sad that most people refuse to even give it a shot.
This was definitely a misunderstood masterpiece. I loved this cartoon as a child and loved this movie as an adult.
I LOVE this movie!!!!
You have concisely put into words, in this very cogent discussion everything that I could NOT put into words since this movie was released. Sure, this was my favorite cartoon when I was 5-6 years old...hell, I ruined a couple Big Wheels when I was around that age because I was TRYING to make it perform like the Mach 5, while punching various imaginary buttons on my handlebars. :) I readily admit I'm biased on the subject of Speed Racer, in any of its forms.
BUT the crux of what you expertly discussed here IS based on verisimilitude -- the world-building that the Wachowskis commenced here IS faithful AND honest from start to finish. Everything that I loved about the mid-60s anime-based version of Speed, I loved x500 in the mid-2000s movie. And I wonder if you're right...IF this movie would be re-released, WOULD it do much better today? At any rate...I think this movie should be studied alongside the so-called classics in ANY film class going forward.
Thank you for a well reasoned, balanced and spot-on discussion here!!!
One of my all time favorite movies!! Curious….. watch your Cyclops video all the time about why he’s the best X-Men and how dirty they did him. You’re correct, but what’s your opinion on the Henry Cavill rumors of him playing the man himself?
yup, my favorite movie of all time and it will never change. also damn, imagine if you loved racing as much as i do XD it makes this movie infinitely better
Watching your video is like a dream come true.
I never thought there would be anyone else that was in awe of "Speed Racer" (2008) like me. For 16 long years all I read or heard is what a terrible movie it is.
The amazing thing is that I had the same excitement in the theater as when I watched the cartoon in the late 1960's.
The Wachowski's accomplished that same astonishment as when I first watched "Superman: The Movie" (1978) in the theater.
But somehow "Speed Racer" did not receive the same critical acclaim.
I recommend looking at the Movies With Mikey video about this film as well
Should’ve won best editing and cinematography
The Wachowski Brothers adaptations of anime are peak anime adaptations, alongside Imagi Studios.

Fast cars and family... Sounds familiar...
Bro……brave position and I agree with you about speed racer. It never got its due.
Same.
HUZZAAHH
Great movie…agreed.
One of my absolute favorite shots, in all of cinema, is Matthew Fox physically hurling a man through the air, in the midst of a gang rumble.😂
100%
Another one who is added to saying this is the greatest film of all time.
Dude, Giacchino is pronounced Juh-key-no (says on spotify bio)
Vin diesel watched this an said this it what fast an furious it going to turn in to
One of the best films of 2008.
Kind of reminds me how far cry 3 would form it’s world and gameplay around the story
