Will you be watching the Brit Marling Zal Batmanglij show called Retreat?
He could have survived by not putting Cyrus in a memory loop. But decided to go on that horrible fate.
I enjoyed this movie, but that might be because Hugh Jackman does a really fucking good job
Is rebecca ferguson nude in this film?
@@thenorsepioneer7311 Lol. I done think so, but she does look really good
At the end of the day it is a sad story but sometimes those are the best
@@thenorsepioneer7311 kinda yes kinda no
@@thenorsepioneer7311 yes but it’s pg13
One of the versions of the Orpheus story is about him having to lead her out of the Underworld without looking back to see if she’s there, but he turns around towards the end because he thinks he’s being tricked and loses her again.
Towards the end of the movie when he sees she was actually at his place and left the earring behind I felt like it was meant to mirror that moment. If he hadn’t have been so busy looking back in the machine, maybe he would have answered the door and they would have been reunited.
Or maybe I’m just reading into it too much 😂
Lovely observation!
Spot on
That’s absolutely what that scene was meant to be! Fantastic observation
The movie was beautiful and impressive, and it had some really interesting ideas, however, I feel that the world building elements of this film; the rising waters and the wars everyone talks about, and the struggles people went through past tense, would have been a much better aspect to present instead of this noir/romance rehash of China Town/Inception crossover. Also I don't know how anyone else felt about the dialogue but to me it was weird...like it didn't feel like humans talking, instead it felt like people speaking tediously. Almost poetically. Perhaps because we are viewing things from his memories and therefore everything feels "artificial" but it made it all feel very clunky and it was difficult for me to become invested.
Yea, the dialogue, they sounds weird to me too, strangely no reviews talking about it.
I just dont like how she died
I’ve tried twice to watch this film and I felt it was wasting my time. I get only about 20-30 minutes in and just find something else to view or go do a chore. I rarely don’t finish a movie, yet this is one of those few - - that I’ll be fine, not bothering with.
Actually you’re spot on. I write poetry in my free time and i assure you the dialogue was meant to be poetic .
This was one of the best bad written movies like even tho you dont really know whats going on in some parts its still really engaging
I exactly feel the same I like it and I don't like it at the same time, such a weird feeling
Don’t know what’s going on?? This was one of the easiest movies to follow and understand.
This ending is what we call grey ending , it is actually tragic ending but Jackman's character got away from reality and enter the memory machine to reunite with his lover although not real. btw , for me the best happy ending movie is Robin hood prince of thieves and Indiana jones and the kingdom of crystall skull
The biggest clue we were just watching his memories all along when he keeps seeing Mae in the water cause he knows she dies in the water after overdosing. He gets to see her in the current state of what he thinks she is after death. Just floating in the water. And when he tries to grab her she just disappears 🥲
I love the movie. The acting is incredible and just hearing Hugh Jackman's voice gives me chills. I think it would have been better if Lisa Joy wouldn't have had to cut quite a bit from the film to make it fit for Warner and HBO, this is why people notice loose ends and maybe some unlogical twists. I hope there'll be a Director's Cut on a DVD so we can see it all as it was intended to be by Lisa Joy.
Exactly - a Directors Cut that will/might restore the heavy edits. The film was initially announced to end at 2hrs28 min...but was edited (presumably to fit in with the 2-hr screening rule). Will WarnerBros allow that Director's Cut? It famously denied Darren Aronoksky to make a Director's Cut for The Fountain ( now enjoying revisionist thinking).DA uploaded his own commentary instead. Hope WB be more generous when the home video is released!
"the longest story about someone forgetting their keys" lmao
@allcreatedbyonegoodgod.156 = have you stopped laughing yet, after a year, as you glue back that "appendage" you laughed off??
You videos are addictive. You break these stories down so well it's almost like watching the actual program, not watching someone describe the program. You have some amazing talent! I'm still waiting to see if they re-film the ending of GOT to match your re-write :D :D
True! I cried again replaying the ending in my mind as I listened to this.
He was so focused in the past that he blind to the present
"Then tell me a story but end it in the middle."
Me: The movie Reminiscence ...
The first half of the movie was so good to watch, but when Bennister started to search for her it all fell apart ...
This movie was actually really good, enough sci fi, suspense, twists and tums, action...the feel of it kinda pulls you in to keep watching till the end, still thinking about this movie and i saw it Friday night :)
Not too much action but otherwise fine
Really liked the movie. It’s a happy story with a semi / sad yet happy ending
I really feel like a movie was not the best format for this story and aesthetic. Specially thinking of people’s tastes and expectations before seeing a movie. I think it’s very interesting, and looks great. But I’m sure plenty of people will hate it for the plot and just for the fact it’s noir and sad.
I really enjoyed the movie and it had some cool twists and quality acting. Rebecca Ferguson is incredibly hot which makes it even better.
Actually enjoyed your recap a little better then the actual film. Nice job!
How did Nick survive in the tank? What did he do for nourishment? How did he keep from floating in his own waste?
exactly
Um the lady he was with at the beginning working with her. She comes visits and probably cleans him up they might not show that part but it’s a possibility. I have a feeling that what he injected in his brain has something to do with it as well. While running around in his memories he probably took a dump lol
oh that's for the sequel.
i was thinking about the pooping part as well .... too long in that tank and in the same water....
I was put on life support in July and was asking the same questions when I woke up. 😅
This movie was actually really solid. People get mad at it for being predictable, but a lot of movies are nowadays. This movie still paid off all of its setups, and what sold me was the worldbuilding/concept over the story. Still a decent movie
I just finished this movie
I cried like a bitch
The ending had me in tears
And Your mighty hot sauce had me in tears
I just got back it was a flawed but engaging thriller
Why was it flawed
I just want to know how he was an old man in the tank without eating or going to the bathroom, etc. And his hair and beard should have been long, though I guess maybe Watts was cutting his hair and shaving.
Just saw the movie and.. I got the same question.. Like is there any system in the machine to feed him without any interuption?
@@augustdays2268 maybe some explaining were cut due to lenght of the film
@@ditron1963 I guess so..
maybe hes on salination
liquid food you know
Strange Days 1995
This is life. This is a piece of somebody’s life. Pure and uncut, straight from the cerebral cortex. I mean, you’re there, you’re doing it, you’re hearing it, you’re feeling it.
Did Watts have deeper feelings for Nick?
That’s the impression I got
I think she did too. That’s why she didn’t leave his side all those years.
He should've stayed with her and create new memories.
Rebecca fergusson can be the live version of jessica rabbit…
I loved it…very engaging. He was being setup all this time.A city in water. They sleep during daytime, and the city gets busy during nighttime..,how magical is that…,nice. Woooo!!! She been dead all this time. WATCH THE MOVIE PLEASE!!! I highly recommend it.
I saw the movie, it was beautiful, love it. I am sad Mae was dead and hurt herself to save the boy ! It was so sad
I am confused, what do u mean he was setup ?
I'm really tired of the sexy, female love interest who speaks in eloquent prose that the male interest just falls massively in love with in 3 days.
Watch the movie that’s not the case here
That’s actually how the work is supposed to be if women exuded feminine traits like Mae did men would fall in love a lot faster
Men fall aloth faster for woman in case you didnt know
This movie is about a simp in the near dystopian future
It’s a noir trope, and this is a noir-like movie.
This was a great movie even tho it had mixed reviews and wasn’t a box office hit for obvious reasons. But the thing that I don’t think that people see is it’s a story about love and how some people go to the ends of earth for the one they love..hence the Orpheus and Eurydice story. Love.
It was a very beautiful Neo noir detective love story. It's been a long time we've seen something original. It's technically reminiscence is the cousin to Christopher Nolan's inception in a way. ❤️❤️
I loved the gunfight scene. Watt is a badass acholic
Lisa Joy getting her kung foo on!
He should've stayed with Watts than living in the past.😑
The whole thing is a mash up of other movies - every plot development reminds you of a movie you've seen before.
Some things reminded me of inception, especially, that quotes he says in the movie
It's the guy rapping back in blood in Miami, for me 🤣😭
This was a great movie i don't understand the fuss. No sarcasm. Remember, recalling memories has a lot to do with details. So many scenes in the movie, randomly focus on tiny details. And then you find the character commenting on that small detail. Even though the memories are in first person, we sometimes get a glimpse of the full scene so we can perceive what was really going on.
Jackman’s character telling the story of Orpheus and Eurydice wrong bothered me
aside from an oversimplification of the plot and using the Devil instead of Hades, what exactly did they get wrong
@@godburnit1960 The ending. However, he had been asked to tell a good story without a sad ending
Yes.... this!!!!?
I was miffed.😩😩😤😤
Messed up the whole grey ending.
I was like that is not how that story ends.
Like he ended his story on a whole lie that wasn’t even needed to end his life in the middle of a memory.
There are actually few interpretations of the mythos. For instance, opera Orfeo ed Euridice by Gluck ends with a happy ending. After Orfeo failed to retrieve Euridice out of Hades and is to kill himself, Amore comes to stop him and promises him to return Euridice.
I like the story and friends says does not like it. Is low appreciated but i appreciate this beautiful hard work to make ✌🏻🙂
Rebecca Ferguson fast becoming the female Sean Bean.
Lol!
I thought the movie felt cliched and forced in the first 30 mins with lofty dialogues and expositions, and shallow, unrealistic world-building. Featured a commonplace talented, sexy but damaged damsel looking for a better life, one the protagonist falls for at first sight. It was trending to be a 4 but then it got progressively better, more layers were added to the story which took a few unexpected turns, and some of the things that felt banal in the beginning started to make sense and actually hit some emotional chords with me as it came to an end. I will give it a 6 maybe even a 7. The movie had some good ideas but the execution was largely lacking, a decent movie nonetheless.
When I misplace my keys I do the same thing. I strip naked, climb into an immersion tank, take an injection to the neck, and allow a couple of weirdos to poke around in my brain.🤣. And they never answer the question: did she recover her keys? That's all you should be caring about😜
You later find out you didn't need to figure out if she got her keys because she "Faked it" to use him as a setup...
@@Bayuuk Yes, you're right, the keys were probably "throw aways" to fit her story....I see, didn't catch onto that. Thanks for setting me straight.
@@paulsommerhalder9049 I personally really enjoyed the movie. I see a lot of people giving it a bad wrap, but think they expected other stuff
@@Bayuuk What did you think of that ending? So, he makes a deal with the DA to spend the remainder of his life in an immersion tank. An aged Thandie Newton spends decades caring for Coma Jackman🤯. He has entered The Matrix to find continuous happiness. Blah!
I liked it, I do think it subverted my expectations by having her die, but he did get to be with her still. Good movie
This movie is heartbreaking! 💔🥺
You lost your Queen? Care to find her again guy is Huey Lewis.
My heart this is a beautiful story....
Nick should've stayed with Watts and create new memories with her. That woman was good in combat and loyal to him.
I had very high expectations about this movie. Maybe that could be the reason that I am not impressed with it as much I thought I would be. I thought the story was too narrow and it could have a better ending than this. Also, there were many untold backstories about the context which made the audience wonder what they were.
I liked the plot and twist along with the way the story was presented.
Damn this man chose to live the rest of his life in a genjutsu.
Everyone would love to live in virtual reality when it is created one day.
@@kyokei5262 i disagree. I wouldn't. Also check out the movie Surrogate with Bruce willis. Let me know your thoughts
It was actually a good movie 👍🏾 IMO it wasn't predictable
An excellent film. Loved it!
The settings is bad, the story is mediocre, but the acting, it’s just amazing.
At the end of the movie, we see Nick still connected to the memory machine twenty plus years in the future. How is he being fed? Who cleans up after him? Why are his hair and beard nearly trimmed? Is rent still being paid on the building where the machine is? Why hasn’t that neighborhood been inundated with water? Wouldn’t there be a way to keep him connected to the machine but moved to a different location? Why didn’t he just “burn” the happy memories into his mind so he didn’t have to be connected anymore?
who knows, who cares, why so many questions, do you get invited to many parties, how old are you, how old am i, why did my dog hold his shit in until after bathroom time, why did my daughter skip school yesterday, who is DB Cooper, what's going on with the federal reserve?
I really love your videos!!! Just discovered your channel!! ❤️
How does Nick eat while in the machine? I didn't see any feeding tubes
Hugh Jackson was a simp in this movie basically and got robbed
You can’t be a simp if you actually get the girl though. In the end she even loved him. So no not a simp
@@ChrisSmooth24 The girl died. He could just have to let it go and get another one. That's still simp. You only got one life, but you wasted it because you are incomplete person for some damn reason. Get a life, you don't even need someone to complete you. Have a purpose. Don't teach men to be fool for just a pvssy.
@@Red-pw1kh damn you’re sad af lol. Good luck to you kiddo
@@Red-pw1kh tell me you’re an incel without telling me you’re an incel
If we didn't see the antagonists memory, we wouldn't know her real character. She is a person who tried to get away from problem, got clean, got force back into doing dirty work, fell in love with Nick, that's why she went back for the kid then back to Nick to do the right thing.
What a great movie and an amazing storyline and an amazing ending
Thank you Lisa Joy for NOT using CGI. Love the reality of the shots, makes the whole film!
How is this tech not taken over the world,nostalgia is why disney owns all the things...
I enjoyed the movie overall but some of the dialog was a little cheesy, it was a little slow but overall it was beautiful and engaging, which is also how I'd describe Rebecca Ferguson.
Passed this on Netflix a bunch of times then finally decided to watch it. I’m big into writing poetry in my free time so this movie was so compelling to me. The way the story he told , the one he ends in the middle, ties in with his tragic ending…it made me tear up. Fantastic movie on a somewhat basic premise.
It was a GREAT Movie! I Loved it! One of my new Favorites - up there with Inception and Shawshank Redemption and Titanic.
Miami is being lost to iguanas and I couldn’t be more happy.
The movie is not as bad as critics says. Only those who lost a loved one will truly appreciate this movie.
Thanks for the detailed breakdown. I enjoyed the movie and the acting was great
This was such a bad movie that wanted to be good.
Joy is a good writer but she lost herself in this script.
This feels like a series spec that was abandoned....like an outline offered to Netflix.
She is obviously influenced by the Nolan's Big Meta Scripts......Dreams and Memory (Memento did it better).
Many aspects broke the suspension of disbelief because they were so ridiculous....somewhat post apocalyptic yet with elegant high speed rail...et al.
It feels like Joy sat down with a blank slate and wrote:
"My mystery box idea for a sci fi Chinatown that will force the audience to Google Orpheus myth."
Yes. This felt like a tv show that fell through (maybe too expensive?) and they tried to salvage it as a movie.
So much potential. Would have made a great WestWorld type series.
Thandiwe Newton is partly playing the same role she did in pursuit of happyness meaning she again struggling to pay bills with her partner boss in this case
Love the all gas no brakes cut
0:23 Andrew Callaghan | Back In Blood
I loved REMINISCENCE! 💭 Lisa Joy is brilliant.
to me this is the best film since tenent
Kinda reminded me of Love, DEath and Robots. Beyond Aquila Drift.
Ty for this, cause fuck paying to watch this movie
I liked the movie, but I thought it moved a little slow at times. Like listening to her sing was boring to me 🤣
I liked it too. Interesting to note I think one of the melodies in the movie had an XMen like sound to it sounding like the animated series from the 80s. Maybe my imagination.
Been waiting on you to cover this one
Did anyone else get some serious Max Payne vibes? I kept thinking this felt like a video game… and 3/4 into the movie it finally clicked.
Upto the mark as expected from the nolan’s family😉 thoroughly enjoyed it…
Brilliant screenwriting and directing!
It was fine, I enjoyed it. It gave me 'Strange Days' and 'The Thirteenth Floor' vibes.
I actually loved this movie
I didn’t like the ending because it’s a copout he was weak he would rather live in the past....I really think he never really loved her but an illusion of an illusion. Who wants to relive them same memories I mean how boring would that be day after day ...no the ending for me sucked
How do people see themselves in their memories? Lisa Joy should have put way more time into her story than into silly effects that added absolutely nothing to a boring and silly story.
Where is the clip of the guy wrapping right at the start from? He is free styling back in blood
Great summary!
It felt like the movie took place within a one block radius and none of the characters were likeable or memorable.
I liked the movie and like your reviews. Would like to see/hear more form Lisa Joy and from you as well. Bravo!
I noticed when Watts visited Bannister, at the end of the movie, she, and he, seem strikingly unwrinkled for being as old as these characters were being portrayed. Was the movie implying they both had been genetically 'enhanced'; maybe, as a need, during their military service?
4:36 maemories....subscribe!!!!!!
Was a good watch imo!
You didn't mention how he found out she got into the safe, which was the first break in the case and was absolute utter nonsense. They spent 40 minutes telling us how the memory machine work and how you have to be aware to some extent of an event or at least be in your periphery, only to have him play the moment Mae stole the keys, from the mind of his partner while said partner WASNT EVEN IN THE ROOM when Mae stole them, she was in the bathroom drunk crying and staring at her daughter's photo. Its like he played CCTV on that machine instead of a memory but they forgot to tell us. So stupid.
It’s not nonsense, or stupid, you just missed it. When he’s talking to saint Joe, joe says she took my drugs/money, what did she take from you? Nick has no response, and Joe realizes Nick got played, and fell for her emotionally. That’s when later he’s talking to his partner, and he’s replaying memories to see what Mae “took” from him. That’s why he asks “we’re you with her the whole time?” That’s when he realizes the only thing she could’ve taken from him that was of any value, were the memory cards, which are in his safe. Of all his possessions, he only has one thing locked in a safe, and it’s those reminiscences.
Thank you for this video. And I clicked like because of "Maemories" 😅
This movie is amazing
The ending of the movie elaborates on the holes in the movie. Idk why some of you expect to understand everything at every step of the movie. What would be the point of making it if you knew everything the whole way. You aren't supposed to understand until the end and you're supposed to use your brain, not to be spoonfed an explanation. Go watch a Disney animated film if that's what you're upset about. Again, great movie.
Did Nick accidentally burn the pregnancy memory into Tamara when he helped her early in his career?
Where's the clip at 0:23 of the white guy rapping in the suit from?
All gas, No brakes
Clip at 0:50
ruclips.net/video/cNohbgowbd0/видео.html
Can anyone clarify for me who that girl is in the scene where Nick meets Cyrus for the first time in person??…………I swear that was May..??
good movie, but i m hoping a plot twist since boothe ask a girl to repeat some word from May's before Nick caught him.
Lmao that Miami now clip
I get the Matrix meets inception, blade runner vibe.
Smart movie. Really liked it.
i wonder how many of these actors and actresses will end up in westworld season 4 joy and jonathan like to use their actors over and over again.
What about the ear ring he sees I’n the water at the end out the front of his shop?
JEEEEZ HUGH JACKMAN CARRIED SO HARD!
movie seemed ok for me. all those years logan had to fight off other mutants has taken a toll on him it seems. his limp in this movie was quite noticeable, those mutants must of did a number on his leg. anyway maybe the movie will appeal more to the women due to the romance part of it. glad to see jackman back on the big screen again at least.
