Well now I want to know what you would have said about Chicken Run
I still read this as 'Taking pictures'
well u twiw!!
@@mickbeard3692 erm..sick burn..bro?
I don’t think that's Bertie. The way he touches his face looks like he's about to rip it off. That's clearly Sammy Paul in a mask.
Please turn this series into a podcast... ❤👍
Now I need a Chicken Run episode! I'm really curious about why does Bertie love that movie so much (other than the fact that it's just a good fun movie)
Whiplash is a great film and it's perfectly named because it is so
I N T E N S E
I really love listening to people talk about their favourite films. I love the passion in their voice and animation in their faces. I'd also love to hear people talk about their favourite songs, if you'd maybe consider doing that with some people? (Dodie, Dan, Jack etc?)
I'm proud that I can decipher that you did not do this recently, in fact, I'm even more proud that I can pinpoint that it was at the "someone in the crowd" shoot.
This is genuinely one of my favorite series on RUclips. It's so interesting hearing about why certain movies connect with particular people.
Best one of these yet, really got Bertie's passion and investment in the film, think it definitely helps to ask what someone's favourite film is beyond the film itself.
I was also thrown by the ending seeming almost triumphant despite the apparent moral warning about pursuing success at any cost (though very interesting to see comments on here that don't see that moral in there) - it adds a really nice layer of complexity to the film without feeling dense, 2001: A Space Odyssey is an apt comparison, a film I don't think I've ever enjoyed watching even though I appreciate it massively.
i loooooove whiplash! as much as it's twisted, the way Chazelle worked with the sweat and blood to represent the obsession it's so entertaining to watch, and the ending, oh man! what an incredible, open to interpretation and fucking tense scene, with some incredible acting and some mind blowing shots! this is the best thing ever! i don't get to talk about movies, and when i try my friends just tell me to shut up and say that i know nothing about it, keep it up hazel! i'm loving this so much.
I could actually listen to you talk about film for hours! I love this series it’s just so wonderful to see people who are passionate about something talk about it, it just makes me happy😊
I looove this series!!
I fricking love this series so much, oh lord
Okay couldn't help but rewatch the ending of Whiplash. I love it so much because in the end, everything falls away. It's all about the music
I need to rewatch this film
I love EVERYTHING about this series... I am biased, I love you and I am probably going to love everything you make, especially that you have really interesting "guests" aka. other youtubers whom I love....
But as I said, I love EVERYTHING, that includes the *comment section*... I's so nice reading all of these comments by people just like me; people who love films, love creating things or at least appreciate the process. It's also so informative, learning about everyone's different opinion or a new film fact. I just love it and it makes me so happy, so please keep doing what you do, because you truly inspire me
Talking Pictures is maybe one of my favorite series on RUclips. I'm an absolute sucker for people discussing films that they love.
This whole video, and the bit about the audience's perspective changing what they get out of the film, really reminds me of why La La Land got me so good. When I watched it, I was long distance with my boyfriend, I knew I didn't want to break it off but that it hurt to be apart from him, going to University, feeling like the whole school thing might just be me running on a treadmill. So it resonated with me hard. But I can see someone's specific point of view not matching up and the film not effecting them as much.
Love this series, so glad you are talking about quality films on RUclips when the internet is blowing up celebrating massive blockbusters.
As someone who has literally bled from playing piano, I related to every single thing in this film, like he can't look people in the eyes, having life threatening experiences but still playing, it's a masterpiece
Liked as soon as I knew this would involve both Bertie Gilbert and Whiplash- LOVE.
I love your comment on low budgets! I had a painting teacher once who said no money is not an excuse, low budgets inspire innovation in artists
Watching Whiplash was so the most tense I’ve ever felt watching/reading anything. I think my entire body was just clenched throughout the film
No freaking way. Whiplash has been my favorite film since the day I saw it. As a film maker myself, Whiplash had major influence on the way I view and create film. It's no coincidence that it's both of our favorite films, it's because it is truly a masterpiece. I don't know if Bertie still remembers but he was subscribed to me in 2011 and saw my videos from back then when he was on twitcam. I'm still making videos, and I actually released five new shorts last week. I'd appreciate it if everyone could check them out.
Whiplash resonates with anyone who wants to become great. I remember immediately loving it.
WillyWednesdays really really want to watch it. I’m a film maker as well and I found that La La Land influenced most of my work. I guess the reason it affected me so much is because the central “concept” of the film is dreamers. And I am an insane dreamer. Sooooieoa
as a drummer that's been playing for about 5 years i HEAVILY relate to and love whiplash, so it's amazing to hear such passionate directors discuss something i understand!!
PLS do some more of these I love this series so much and I miss it dearly
whiplash is also one of my favourite films! as a musician, and i guess hard-working student it made me think about about my dreams and aspirations.
but also hazel, talking pictures is my favrourite series from you! it's so engaging and overall lovely to see you and one of your friends speak so passionately about films
So it took about 3 minutes for me to realise Whiplash was not, in fact, Whip It.
I love this series so much
my favourite series of yours. there is nothing i love more than hearing other people talk about films, it's so oddly calming.
I really like these videos because it makes me think about my favourite films and why I love them, they're a really good prompt if you want to think more in depth about why a film is your favourite
I really love watching these videos, it's so great to listen to people talking about things that they're passionate about. I can hear just how much you guys love these films, and their process and their meaning, and I love hearing you guys open up about how they impacted and left an impression on your lives. Really fantastic series Hazel!
i miss talking pictures! it brings me such joy
Love a good cinema food analogy! Equally live these videos for late night chill time x
I am a simple human. I see Hazel Upload, I click immediately.
Upload with a capital letter actually lol.
This series needs to make a comeback!
And I really like listening to you and your friends talk about film too
Bloody brilliant Hazel. I love this film because it goes by in the blink of an eye and by the end of it I feel exhausted and out of breath as if I've just sprinted the 100m. I have introduced it to many friends who now share the same sentiment. Please keep the series going (hopefully with a female friend to gain a different perspective if there is one).
I absolutely loved this!
more. just more of this and both of you. BEAUTIFUL.
Yes! For some reason I feel so special that the great Bertie Gilbert would have the same favourite film as me. Yay.
I've never seen any of these films you talk about lol but I still really like the videos
d .c youve never watched whiplash, her or the social network ?? where u been ????
Whiplash and The Social Network are on Netflix so get on it and watch them.
Ezra Wood no they’re not and it makes me sad :(
auggiethegirl depends what country youre in
really really loving this series hazel! an idea that might be shit but also might be cool: you've been doing this videos with the very film enthusiastic-y people, maybe do one with a casual movie goer, could put a different spin on it, i know i'd be interested haha. okay, keep the good work :D
I ADORE this series! Please make more! ❤️ (Ps. Whiplash is one of my all time favourite films as well!!)
Will bertie ever age?
Jacob Bradley 😂😂😂 AHHAHAHAAAHHAHA! You almost killed me lol! I don’t know why I found that so gosh darn funny
well he's only 20
He is doing pretty well for 56
there’s a whole film about it noob
I went to see whiplash when it first came out with no idea what it was about but when I left I walked for a good ten minutes without saying a word because I was blown away by it
watching people talk about things theyre passionate about is so interesting
Was this filmed when you did 'Someone in the crowd' with Dodie?
Alex YES I NOTICED THAT! i mean u could also notice by the color of her hair...
*** hazel also made a whiplash "not my tempo" joke when filming the bloopers for Someone in the Crowd ooo
Bertie is also wearing the same shirt but with a jacket over the too
Yeah it was! In the bloopers video from Someone in the Crowd Hazel mentions that once they wrapped Someone In The Crowd she was going to film with Bertie.
I thought that, but it can’t be because Bert’s hair
whiplash blew my mind i was like this boy is literally just drumming and I am FREAKING OUT
When I watched whiplash at like two AM while I was in college and my room mates were out of town and I just remember the mind blowing existential crisis I had. It was amazing and I loved it.
Whiplash is my favorite film. It was great to hear Bertie talk about it.
I loved the video but now I want Bertie to start talking really passionately about chickens
Whiplash gave me an actual panic attack after watching it. I had just finished my freshman year of college as a Music Education major that didn’t work out. And I wanted it so badly, spent nights sleeping in practice rooms and had that same struggle in a lot of ways. And after the film, I was so sad and angry. My friend just turned to me and said “I mean, he was just crazy and that’s why he was so insane about this.” But when you love something that much, you are that crazy. And I just had a panic attack because I related so much to this film.
When they started talking about how low budget can "drive the story" I was like "Saw is a great example of this" XD
I saw whiplash with my dad and he cried at the end. It was a perfect reaction to a perfect scene.
My two queens in one video?
YES SISTER
I bloody love Whiplash, I based my whole A-Level Film coursework around it, there's so much to analyse and pick apart just in that finale.
can't focus because bertie's shirt has a little winnie the pooh on it and i love winnie the pooh
I was just scrolling through the comments to see if anyone else had noticed this! Got past most of them until I reached this one so thought I was maybe just imagining/seeing things and was going mad 😂 Wonder where he got it from?
hahaha
I can't focus because I really want to put my finger in the dimple in his chin (nothing weird, I just really want to!)
So interesting to hear his thoughts. He was my favourite character on Horrible Histories
😂 💙
Whiplash is one of my favourites too! What a moving , tense and psychologically interesting film!!
IM LIVING FOR THIS
Hazel, we still haven't seen your red hair in a video!!!
Also, request: You should have another woman on this series. It would be so cool. Im not sure who but it would be a great thing to watch and listen to. ❤
more talking pictures!!!
Bertie is so good at talking. You know what i mean. Articulate.
Whiplash was a fantastic movie but I recently watched the movie Brokeback Mountain and holy shit I don't think I will ever get over the pain i felt from that movie. It left me sore for days. So yeah that movie is my favourite now and may be for ever. It. Was. Incredible.
Yes I love whiplash! It's one of my favorite movies
Great video! Love that people like you bring positivity to the "talking about movies"-genre on RUclips, especially on the day Every Frame A Painting ended. :(
Loved everything about the movie except for its central thesis...
(I disagree with it not making a point / picking a side in the way the ending frames the movie's argument)
Damien Chazell is really fascinating to me. I get why people love his movies (and by god does he know how to make a heart-racing finale), but I disagree fundamentally with his point of view. This just happens so rarely with movies, that I feel like good filmmaking often prohibits people from voicing this way of criticism.
Whilst walking out of both of his big movies I said: "Wow, I get the hype! That was really well made and fun, but man is this worldview opposed to mine. I like the movie, disagree with its point."
Ps. Chazell's "thing", might not just be *the story*, it might be *white jazz*. :P
Mario Sill Out of curiosity, what's the viewpoint you saw in Whiplash/Chazell and why do you disagree with it?
It's a whole thing..., but to put it in the simplest terms:
It perpetuates an old and wrong myth of talent and creativity, in which abuse by a mentor and the obsessed "tortured artist" succeed. It's taken as a given that this works, and then asks the seemingly open question: "Was it worth it?", but everything in the text points to the question being answered with "Yes!".
I disagree.
Some would argue the question stays unanswered (Bertie in the video).
My even bigger problem is that I disagree with the premise of the question. In my opinion, the shown way of achieving "genius" isn't true and doesn't work. (The historic examples given in the movie are untrue).
That's why I disagree with it morally.
I liked whiplash but don’t think I could call it a FAVOURITE but it’s nice to hear what it means to you!
WHIPLASH IS MY FAVOURITE AS WELL
Hearing y'all talk about movies maoes me think I'm my favorites and my main two are The Secret Life of Walter Mittt and Sing Street
Bloody gosh that intro was loud Hazel!
Whiplash is terrific. I loved the way it was edited, it's so frenetic.
Yessss that's my favourite film!!!
I LOVE UR VIDEOS HAZEL HEYES
this was the first one where I was just like YES throughout the whole vid top knotch 10/10
i think Whiplash might be my favourite film either that or Hunt For The Wilderpeople. i'm still not really too sure yet i'm still trying to watch as many films as i can to expand my knowledge of film and to find out what genre and styles of film i like. i'm currently doing my second year of film studies at sixth form and i'm thinking of maybe doing film production at uni to help with expanding my knowledge and enjoyment of films and the film industry, so it was really interesting to see why other people like a film that i really like to see what makes it other peoples favourite film.
I'd love to do talking pictures with Hazel.
I'd love to talk Star Wars, Ed Wood and Mary Poppins
(a few of my favourite films)
Loved Whiplash, loved this!!
I paused the video, rented Whiplash on amazon, and now back on video but wow just wow
I tried watching Whiplash and had to turn it off after 10 minutes because it gave me anxiety and it made me feel stupid for not "getting" a "smart film"
you can tell this is old because of berties glasses
Whiplash is one of my favourite films too.
I LOVE FILM WOW ITS SO GREAT !
Whiplash is also my favorite film! I absolutely loved this video XD
BERTIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE
Whiplash is the only film I've ever had to stop watching because it was so intense. I literally couldn't take it anymore. Hoping to go back to it this Christmas though. My dad's a drummer and when the guy's hands start to bleed he said that used to happen to him when he was younger.
Have you aeen 13 tzameti by Gela Babluani (To this day is one of the most tense films I've ever watched)
Bertie needs to do movie review or analysis!!
Please do a talking pictures episode with Daniel
And liked within 30 sec. Your intro is top!
I FUCKING LOVE WHIPLASH I LITERALLY SCREAMED WHEN I READ THE DESCRIPTION
I LOVE WHIPLASH
These are my thoughts about the film put in video form so i don't have to watch it again for a while because dont get me wrong i loved it but it was just so intense for my brain.
Whiplash is my favourite film too! I’m looking forward to seeing someone with a smart film brain breaking it down
Whiplash is my favorite film because it’s the one that made me interested in film again. I think mainly because how plain it seems but really isn’t? Secondly I think because J.K Simmons character was very similar to my theatre teacher and it destroyed me.
My favourite film is not even considered to be a good one
Is that weird?
It's not "The Room" or "Sharknado" but it's not 2001 either
Oh yessss WHIPLASH yesss BERTIE AHH
i didn't even know that you could have chin dimples until i saw one of berties shorts and i was like WOAH
This really makes me want to watch Whiplash!
You should do a Talking Pictures with dodie. TBH I just wanna hear dodie talk about la la land, bc I just can't get enough xp
