Heat confuses me to watch because it looks SO modern yet all the actors are (obviously) much older now. It's like a real-life time machine, and a nearly perfect movie.
Ethan Megenis-Clarke Just shows how timeless the movie is, and also film is better than digital cameras
it depends. film cameras, of course, gives you that cinematic tone, grainy look and as an audience, you can immediately feel intimacy with the film. But film cameras don't have a depth of field and in the low light digital cameras are way better. You can change film speed, of course, analog cameras can pull multiple stops but it will affect image contrast. Anyways, there is no better only what you desire, what you need and how masterful you are. At end of the day it's about the craft and your vision not the cameras.
A good comparison is another Michael Mann movie: collateral.
It was shot entirely on digital and also in LA and creates a very different look and feel via the coldness of digital vs the warmth of film as seen in Heat.
fuck yah, I am still watching: "take off your shirt!".
I agree. It has more to do with those behind the camera because some of the best cinematographers of our time have switched to digital, and while it's allowed them to be more flexible in how they light and shoot, the quality of work and image is just as fantastic as when they used film. Examples being Roger Deakins, Bruno Delbonnel and Emmanuel Lubezki.
This movie also had the most realistic sounding shoot outs I have ever heard. I have been shot at a few times while in the army. Very similar. Great video.
Graveyard Jim they recorded the shootout audio live while firing blanks. They intended to overdub afterwards, but the sound echoing off buildings was just so good.
Sweet piece of trivia. Thanks
Allen Tucker It goes even further : The studio thought the gunshots sounded to hard an loud to be considered real and wanted Michael Mann to use stock gunshots used in every movie at that time instead ... Luckily Michael Mann refused to change the sounds , he even threatened to quit if the studio went through with the bland stock sounds so they decided to give in ... and the rest is history
This movie is so fucking loud, and it's great
Yeah, if you're been in the army, you would question the action scene in this movie, that it's really good for a movie, but in real life with those guns the calliber they use would go through those cars like paper, and those cops hidding behind the ambulance would be dead if they weren't protected by the plot armor.
GOD the cinematography in this movie is amazing! Made in 1995 and it hasn't aged a day
Michael Mann's Heat (1995) Is A CLASSIC.
@solidstripe No he`s right....( 1995) was when it was released.
@Ryan 1995
perfect movie. watching this keeps mesharp,on the edge,where I gotta be...
She got a ....GREAT ASS....
And you got your head.......ALL THE WAY UP IT!!!
For his first feature film acting gig, Hank nailed it.
8-Bit Bryan he nailed ashley, a couple times anyway...while henry rollins portrayed the peripheral douche he actually is....
HAHA! I wonder if he used his Moe face to hit on her!
Rick Deckard. Do you know the song in the last minute?????
Saw this film at the movie theater EIGHT TIMES. Enough said. #HEAT
Alan Roger Currie #Heat
me too, but paid once - Boston
Alan Roger Currie you ever notice how th3y never show pacino and deniro in same scene
Alan Roger Currie ohhhhh, you said enough said, so that means you must be 100% correct.
Love your stuff this movie was a masterpiece
_Heat_ is one of those movies I knew I would like from the first minute. Still one of my favorites. Great analysis! Mann is a visionary.
Excellent comment. I felt the same way. Mann is boundlessly talented, on par with Kubrick.
@@Scottdrruryiphone finally, someone praising mann with the confidence i wish i had xD. cheers!
Agreed
Neil: A guy once told me, "Do not have any attachments, do not have anything in your life you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you spot the heat around the corner." Best line ever!!!
Neil had it all until he decided to settle a score just a little too soon.
no its quiet sad and lonely life. and he knew it. thats why he wanted to get away with her, nothing cool about this line. its just sad
@@DarkHallwayz This is why the quote has a real value, he completely abandoned her in a heartbeat!
Perfectly sums up the movie too
Great phrase, for arguably the best picture ever made 🤌🏿
I am SO happy you made a video about Heat. Love, love, love this film to death.
+Meister Film Also, I would love to hear you discuss The Sacrifice by Tarkovsky or maybe Stalker.
+Meister Film Have you seen "The Mirror" by Tarkovsky? That's one to analyze, I think. "Stalker" is really good, though, and so is "The Sacrifice." But "The Mirror" is my favorite film of all time.
+Christopher Spitzka I have! I love every film he's made, but I have not seen "Andrei Rublev" yet. Personal favourites are The Sacrifice and Solaris. And The Mirror... and Stalker... and Ivan's Childhood.............
He's criminally underrated. I didn't hear of him until I saw "The Sacrifice" -- which I only saw fairly recently. Considering how much I love good arthouse films, I can't believe how much we have traded in the poets like Tarkovsky for a whole bunch of illegibly choppy editing.
The reason I brought up "The Mirror" is because its lack of conventional plot demands more analysis on Tarkovsky's stylistic choices. Then again, "Stalker" could also be fantastic for an analysis.
Merry Christmas!
So criminally underrated....
It is sad that someone like that isn't the most well known director of today.
Truly a genius filmmaker.
Heat is such a great film, I'd recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it.
what if you were dying with a 6 month terminal illness ? would u still reccomend it ?

I only clicked on this because I just watch the movie Heat for the fifth time in my life and I was a bit worried I was gonna be disappointed because the thumbnail wasn’t what I expected but I’m very glad I did as it was quite an interesting upload you did, Thank you my friend and have yourself an absolutely awesome week👊🏻😁🇦🇺
What thumbnail did u expect
Para mí punto de vista los imperdonables los intocables buenos muchachos Titanic y fuego contra fuego de 1995 son las mejores de los años ,90
Man I just watched Heat last night, and it's god damn beautiful. This video is perfect
Whats amazing about Mann films, is that every frame of every shot, is a gallery worthy photograph.
THIS
Well...i kept taking screenshots as I was watching the movie lol
I think I'm obsessed with " Heat", watched it countless times & keep coming back, to the original, clips & reviews. Mann is a genius!
To me, "Heat", up to this day, is the best cop-crime-drama ever made. This movie is perfect, except for a few lines (Pacino's wife) that seem to stem from some movie straight from the 1950's
Good video, Nerdwriter. By the way: Thanks for not using Arial!
I see tons of top 100 lists without this in them. Personally, it's comfortably inside the top 10, maybe 5.
now that you mention. I don't recall Heat on any top list. Tragic loss is our gain.
Flame and Citron was great Swedish film. Heat is that good. It's the whole work, the long shots and score. You are missing the point.
I like how he took his TV! 😂 😂 😂
It's impressive how everything You said about the movie in this video is exactly what I felt when I watched it for the first time 5 years ago, and still is what I feel everytime I watch it. The Sulfur, the train platform, De Niro's house (that blue and loneliness), all the camera stuff You've said (about catching wide spaces, etc.). Finally I've found someone that felt the same about this great masterpiece. But I think most people feel the same as we do!
I watched it just now for the first time, and man, its so same feeling here! I was like, I liked this movie so much, but why!? Now I can atelast express why i loved it!
That Malibu house by the sea is possibly in flames now. Never leave a moment on the table. This is one reason why films are so magical. They capture time, erased.
Moby's cover definitely gives this scene something extra.
It almost makes you feel right there in the pursuit, all coked up (as Pacino said that the character was) and with a huge amount of caffeine in your body.
Shame Moby turned out to be such a wet fart in reality.
This movie was released in 1995. I was ten-years-old and I rented the VHS TAPES. That's right: TAPES. Heat was a double VHS movie back in the 90s. Anyway, I popped that movie into the VCR on a hot summer night and I realized then that I was watching a cinematic masterpiece. Every time I watch this movie I get an incredible rush of nostalgia. Brings me back to a much more simple time. I actually feel like a kid again when I watch Heat.
You watched and appreciated Heat aged 10❓️❓️👏😂
One of the most underrated movies ever. A near perfect film, I can watch this every day and not get tired of it.
It's not underrated at all. It's highly regarded as an excellent film.
@@christopherkotsopoulos701 oscars had 0 nominations for this. It's a shame
@@Aman-nk5uq The Academy has always been clueless, Heat was ahead of it time
So can I lol
Well said mate. Wouldn’t say HEAT is underrated however, the best Crime-Drama film nonetheless!
I don't think it's easy to appreciate how good Heat is without actually watching other movies from that era. Heat made me appreciate whatever I am reading or watching for the first time because I don't know if it would be as beautiful or impactful like Heat.
I've seen heat over a dozen times. Yet, you still managed to bring some new thoughts and perspectives on one of my all-time favorite films. Great job.
Heat is one of my favorite movies ever. What I love the most about it is that there's so many stories going on with every Character and each of them are so deeply explored, and somehow all of these stories connect to each other. It's wonderful. And you said it all about the score, cinematography and things like that.
Moby's music at the end "God Moving Over the Face of the Waters" is the ultimate conclusion to an already film masterpiece. However there are 2 versions out there, the version of the film has that "relieving moment" the album version is missing, hard to describe.
The version used in the film is found on his later album, “I Like to Score”
The greatest crime drama ever made.
Brah Sumatra 📽️
What people don't know is that Heat is a remake, It is almost a shot for shot, word for word remake of a made for TV movie called LA Takedown. Also directed by Michael Mann.
The greatest "none Mob related" crime drama ever made.
Hahahaahah.... Hilarious final scene. Over dramatic constantly, nice try though!
This one and Goodfellas, my two favorites.
The craziest thing about Heat in my opinion is that even if we have only seen one side of the story and rest of it, for example just Hanna's family life and the main storyline, or McCauley's personal life and the main storyline, it would still make perfect sense. But we see both, we see this symmetry between two main charcters and so much more. Chris's storyline and that line drawn on the balcony by his wife is perfect. And the replacement driver trying to rehab on the shitty job at the diner along with his lover's emotions.. It is just remarkable how Mann pulled it off.
I've lived in LA for 42 years and I can relate to all those scenes, LAX, the refinery in the background, the MTA train station in El Segundo, that club on Sunset, the sulfur mound in Wilmington, and the hotel by LAX; and the bank robbery gun fight LOL that's right out side my work at the bank I work for in Downtown LA at 5th st and Flower st. Amazing movie, Thanks again
Thanks for the story, now one question:
when the film come out, how was your live?
the film resonates in you?
My life feels so satisfied for having watched Heat. Its a pity these kinda movies are hard to come by nowadays.
I've watched Heat dozens of times. It's the greatest movie ever made. It's timeless. I wish De Niro and Al Pacino could team up again and do something sleek.
@@DrPhil-jp5rv Hahaha
ah well
Playing gta v and watching this film had that flavor
@@Rusty-me1mj Michael is inspired by deniro they look very similar
@@Rusty-me1mj Yeah, the “Blitz Play” mission in GTA V was inspired by the intro robbery from HEAT..
I’ve always wanted to watch this movie for a long time. Never seen it because it’s almost 3 hours long and I have to be really committed to a 3 hour movie. I saw it for the first time this past Christmas. Since then, I’ve watched it 5 times. This movie is awesome!!!
3 hours and not a second of wasted film...
"Look at me, LOOK AT ME"
Lieutenant Prick Joker?
Lol... Waynegrow
After breaking the character's nose, DeNiro commands him to look at him as the bullet exits his gun. You temporarily lose your vision when your nose is broken. He wants him to see that bullet that will kill him. Reminds one a bit of the scene in 'Scarface' when Pacino executes the drug dealer in front of the Miami hotel. Much in the same manner, the victim will see that bullet that will kill him.
Almost nobody talks about the sountrack which is also well ahead of time as the film itself. Genious combination.
Man, the way you arrange this speech of yours and the introduction and the conclusion and the way you align it with the background sound, all the more makes you sound like a film-maker commending another film-maker.
Mann is a master of making the location a main character itself. Heat is the flagship example of this talent.
Heat has one the best ending scenes of any film ever made. Period.
Great clip. BMW 850i in the movie I remembered thatsince I saw it in cinema.
I have watched this movie more than 10 times. Never gets old for me. Perfect script, performance, soundtracks and blending of the scenes. All creating a euphoric feel.
Fascinating analysis. I have always thought the similarities between Pacino and De Niro's characters serve as the basis for Heat's themes. I love how you analysed the way both these characters close their respective doors on the social images and customs that they have to uphold and break out to embrace their emotions and identities. I love the scene where the police is watching De Niro on one of their heists and Pacino is looking at the camera and then De Niro immediately stares back at the camera too almost giving the impression of a 4th wall break with both staring at each other. It reminded me of the lyrics in the Sex Pistols song 'Holidays in the Sun' which goes - 'I'm looking over the wall[Berlin] and they're looking back at me'.
But that coffee shop scene is a just a master class on how to exude power and authority while just sitting and talking.
It's a good feeling of relief when you find the right words to describe something or a feeling. you taught me what noir films are, camera lens, an a lot more in less than 8 minutes. I knew those things but I didn't know the words to describe them. I'm much obliged.
keep it coming, and from the bottom of my heart i salute you.
These directors are simply brilliant! The mind set they have to detail and setting the moods/scenes are awesome. I try to blow my surround sound speakers every time the shootout scene begins, I feel like I’m actually in the movie shooting with them, lol. There’s none better than Pacino & De Niro. Only sad thing is they don’t make movies like this anymore.
never realized how much went behind this movie.......HEAT forever
My favorite part of the use of New Dawn Fades is how in essence the lyrics actually support everything you are talking about in this video with the entire first verse
A change of speed, a change of style
A change of scene with no regrets
A chance to watch, admire the distance
Still occupied though you forget
Different colors, different shades
Over each mistakes were made
I took the blame
Directionless so plain to see
A loaded gun won't set you free
So you say
Joy division were writing about some deep shit in that song!
Heat is one of my favourite movies. It’s just so amazing. I’ve always loved the way that Michael Mann portrays Neil and Vincent as true professionals. Robbing banks is what Neil is good at, and the only thing he is after when he does it is money. He isn’t like Tom sizemores character or Waingro. He doesn’t want to hurt anyone if it can be avoided. He is just a true professional. He is also good at everything, he is an excellent marksman, he is a master thief and he is also very intelligent. But what makes him a great character is the fact that he has a moral code that he cannot ignore. So despite his intelligence he can’t turn the other cheek. That’s why he abandons his dream life to kill Van Zant and Waingro. Because if he didn’t he would regret it for the rest of his life. Which is why it is the right choice for him even though he dies. Vincent is an amazing detective who is also very intelligent, and confident in his abilities. But he is consumed by his job. It’s simply all he is. That’s why he can’t have a functioning life outside of it. That’s becomes even more evident when he is at the hospital promising his wife that he will stay with her, instead working. Because when she tells him that it’s okay if he leaves, he runs down the stairs without hesitation.
Now Heat is a masterpiece classic . Thank you so much for making this comment and observations
I love that you used Michael Brook's music from "Heat" at the opening of your video. He's a fantastic composer.
brilliant explanation, Heat is a 90's masterpiece!
Oh well time to watch heat again
And again
Heat or scarface? 🤔
@@fLightTakesFlight Heat is a movie for men, Scarface is for teenagers.
@@rickyspanish8373 still great acting to be appreciated in Scarface
@@fLightTakesFlight Of course! 👌 That movie is a classic.
HEAT one of the best movie to this day, Michael Mann is da man.
I've literally been looking for this video for an hour. I forgot what RUclipsr made it. So glad to re-watch it again
I have vivid memories of seeing Heat in the cinema 20 years later. Such an amazing film.
Brother, you doing this about “Heat” just made me a fan. I could watch this movie on permanent rotation. All hail to Mann.
Damn straight. I knew I was going to like this movie from the first scene. Both atmospheric and real. That it didn't show up at the Oscars is, well, criminal.
My favorite movie from the 90s is about crime and about human life river... It is made in super realism and at the same time as a great novel.... It reflects both the current and the lifestyle, and the twofold inconsistency of human nature.... An amazing game actors, the direction, the amazing staging of the scenes and the amazing soundtrack....Michael Mann is the greatest director of that time... And I don't care about the Oscars or anything...
Great presentation. Honestly, I'm a science nerds and the arts, for the most part, is something that is far too complicated for my analytical and mathematical mind. However, this does shed light on what makes many Michael Mann movies have a particular "feel". I was expecting an elaborate explanation of the ending of Heat based on some sort of storytelling or deeper perspective. To this day, I'm still blown away on how simple but emotionally visceral the ending of Heat is... especially the way Hanna is holding Neils hand while he breathes his last breathe.
My belief is that Hanna held McCauley's hand because he knew that he was losing a spiritual brother that understood him and his life more deeply than anyone in his past, or anyone he would meet in the future.
Yes, I completely agree. Basically, Hanna & McCauley where two people who took their professions incredibly serious (at a level that few ever achieve). Two sides of the same coin. In this case, one chose to become a detective and the other a professional thief.

The more I look into and around this film, the more I feel like I'm in love with it. Like literally, the feeling is so similar with being in love it's almost worrying.
I wonder what Nerdwriter thinks of "Chinatown"
+Arian beic same, great movie
+Arian beic forget it, Arian, it's Chinatown
good idea
Arian beic only built 4 Cuban lynx
I'd rather see him cover Big Trouble, Little Chinatown
This is my favorite movie...ever since I saw it in the theater in 1995. Thank you for this excellent explanation of why it hits a nerve with so many people. I also would like to add that....having Al Pacino and Robert Deniro on screen together is a historic mark in modern cinema, "Righteous Kill" being the only other time they were in the same movie together. Micheal Mann is a true visionary and this movie has an addictive quality to it that is truly missing in alot of modern films.
"How men construct their identities from what they do." This is very interesting.
Good grief sir. I expected yet another amateur, surface level overview of the film.... yet was delighted to find an indepth, thoroughly well crafted and expertly communicated analysis of a truly great movie from one of my favourite directors. Thank you so much for taking time to create and post this valuable video.
Interesting case study. The sound design in Heat is just immaculate. Happy holidays man!
what you said at the end about a new model with no corporate middle men couldn't be more relevant nowadays. you are a true artistic inspiration and i love watching your videos. cheers man, keep it up!
There is absolutely nothing to unlike in ‘Heat’ at all. It’s absolutely fantastic. Why it doesn’t get mentioned more is beyond me.
I just watched it for the first time & I wondered to myself how the hell have I never watched this? I only knew about through random comments. I’m about to be 30. I feel like watching this back in the day would of blew my mind. I still loved it though. I appreciate certain elements more than I would of back then since I’m older now though.
@ Nerdwitter - You are a true fan of cinema, one can tell by how you explain all those technicalities from the movie and what details you're able to catch from the film. You really know what you are talking about. Great video, kudos!
Have always been a heavy fan of this movie. Since I saw it when it came out. By far the best crime drama ever made. The best shootout ever filmed. Kilmer’s gun handling. Two of the best actors America has ever produced in their prime. I can keep going! Mann’s masterpiece...
Man, I was just about to correct you on New Dawn Fades…
Fantastic essay so far!
This movie was the first DVD I have bought since possessed the DVD player. Love this film unconditionally. Absolutely superb.
Thank you for making this video about one of the best crime dramas ever in film. Nice to see someone else appreciate just how good that movie is.
HEAT is right up there with "The Godfather", "Goodfellas", and "Scarface"
Imo Scarface isn't in their league. Great film but Godfather Goodfellas and Heat are masterpieces
nah bro. fuck those meatball ass films. heat. pure style. deniro owns a sushi restaurant
Francis ford Coppola didn't like heat though ☹️
Both Heat & Scarface aren’t on Godfather or Goodfellas level
Heat has cool style and scenes, but at the end of the day the plot wasn't very realistic and the characters were mostly assholes that I couldn't care much for
This is the first video I have watched on your channel. I feel like you gave a pretty interesting perspective on one of my favorite crime movies. I hope you can continue to make a living doing this.
Watching Heat at the theater was the most satisfying movie theater experience I ever had. #2 was Batman (1989) and then Casino.
Jeez.. what a time to watch these movies in theatres
This is one of my favorite channels on RUclips thank you so much for this video it's my favorite film of all time
This movie is the best cops & robbers movie ever made. I remember taking my dad to go see this great movie in 1995 at the Lowe`s movie theater in Huber Heights, Ohio. The best movie in 1995, this & Casino. I bought HEAT on VHS,DVD & Blu-Ray. Damn it was that dope.
You watched this movie in theatre?? Amazing
@@Aman-nk5uq Yes and with my dad great times I tell you. Nothing like spending time with your dad.

2015 was everybody's best year in their life
Man, when I lived in LA I would play the HEAT soundtrack driving late at night on the freeways thinking of the scene where Pacino chased De Niro down.
Came here from 2.020 and man!, that's a long time following you! Always a pleasure revisiting this videos
This one is one of my favorites!
HEAT is legendary😍. ... Such a shame a movie as good as this is really rare nowadays 😕
@Alexander Supertramp well where else u gonna find movies. I disagree in saying that there aren't as many good movies today but dont know where your coming from
Movies suck today. Period.
It was rare then, too.
I was an undergraduate at the University of London back in 2000 and our lecturer was already making us analyse it as example of post modernism in Film Studies class.
One of my ten favorite pictures,it has solid direction, epic script and talented cast. But it certainly doesn't end there, if you ever want to get into film making WATCH HEAT.

@@sebastianfitzptraick7395 Great taste my friend, wondering where you'd rank Pulp Fiction?
In Heat, I loved and understood both the criminal and the cop. All I wanted was for the two of them to meet and talk, which normally doesn't happen on any kind of realistic level in movies. You get the "good guy" and "bad guy", but they never get to have a real, honest conversation. But Heat delivered! I was so happy.
Every time I think of this movie, I remember that famous 90's quote: "“Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner.”"
I like this comment because it creates a never ending cycle
Just discovered your channel and thought everything was well done, then discovered THIS video, and now know you're the real deal.
You can't talk movies until you've seen Heat
You should do a video on Drive.

I LOVE the way the camera catches the car at 3:20.
Mind-blowing it was
Man (or should I say Mann), I love this film so much.
Heat impressed me with its great complexity, which is delivered in a clear and effective way. You got to appreciate a film that isn't afraid to be densely layered with characters and subplots.
Hey love your videos, if possible could you tell us what your next video will be a week before so that I could catch up and be ready. In this case I've seen Heat anyway, but sometimes I haven't seen/read the thing you're going to talk about. If you already do this elsewhere apologies, keep up the good work
yeah that would be Nice
+Jlm Butler That is a great idea!
Maybe something for the patreon guys? That'd be awesome.
I came across the dvd at the store and got a copy and practically wore it out. DeNiro was good. Michael Mann was a great 90's director
Probably the best film ever made in my opinion.
+SEEKER The Hitch approves
Your opinion is actually a FACT. Heat is thee best movie ever made!!!
lol keep seeking... but f you like this movie, you will have a huge amount of titles to also like
The Irish Scenery Channel like what?!
The Godfather
on the score side, it is the hauntingly beautiful guitar work of Terje Rypdal that is most memorable to me. It took a couple viewings until it dawned on me, that this wasn't just a heist movie, but five love relationship portrayals in the frame of a thriller, director Michael Mann said it is a drama, right. Must have seen "Heat" 50+ times, never get tired of it, of course i bought the dvd back then asap. That Movie is a timeless Masterpiece of Art.
HEAT is Still my favorite Movie... and it ever will be
The title perfectly summarizes my thoughts on the film's style and visuals. The perfect in-between of gritty realism and cinematic flair
I saw this movie yeaaaars after its 1995 release. Somehow, against all probability, I'd simply never heard of it. Until one day. And I must say -- this movie is a legitimate masterpiece.
Michael Mann is one of the most underrated director in Cinema. Even if you don’t like the movie, his style is unique
If anyone knows of the infamous, real-life North Hollywood Shootout bank robbery you'd probably not guess that they two assailants based their whole strategic attacks based on the bank robbery scene from Heat.
What year did the real life shoot-out happen?
I think the shootout was about 2-3 years after the movie came out
In the real one the 2 robbers were armured from head to toe with bullit broof stuff.
Thank you for teaching us watchers step by step the art of film 🎥 I learn more through watching your channel than I did in college. The dissection is in well balance with similarities of all different art forms which inspires me to have more concentration to the environment around us when narrating stories that need to be told! With appreciation! Thanks
I love the movie Heat ! Many thanks to Michael Mann for making this movie ! This is a perfect movie like how you have described here. I especially love the character of Robert de Niro ! Robert himself is an awesome person in life. I am a big fan of him.
Thankyou Michael Mann your a genius on how so many angles and profiles could be seen while watching this movie
The reason a film like this will NEVER be imitated or made again is that this was a film that took Michael Mann 20 years to make, after he’d researched and known the real characters who inspired parts of this story. Mann has lived it.
I might be late to comment here, but thank you for educating us!
I watched this film in 2017, and Last Nite by Terje Rypdal still plays faintly in my mind..
It's 6th January, 2021, I will be rewatching the movie!
Thank you again!
