    Really wonderful essay, my only note is too much bus

    Dude, this is probably oversaid already, but your videos are PHENOMENAL. I don't even know or care about Speed, but I trust your abilities as a content creator enough that I'm watching this. I'd like you to know that says A LOT as I have the attention span worse than a goldfish. Thank you for your hard work!

    I'm baffled that the youtube algorithm hasn't made more of your videos blow up. They're always so consistently entertaining and thought provoking.

    I watched "Speed" just once in cinema, when it came out. And now, thanks to you, I have to rewatch. I have to. Now!

    I guess it went from one bus and multiple villains to one villain and multiple vehicles!

    I have never seen speed or had any interest in seeing speed, but you've taken this topic I've never once cared about and turned it into one of the most interesting film analysis I've ever seen. this video deserves a million views

    Speed is one of my favorite movies. It is literally the only one that kept me glued to the screen and on the edge of my seat. As far as I’m concerned it is a consummately written story, with excellent actors and perfect action. It’s pace was flawless. And, my introduction to Keanu Reeves!

    Your videos are EXCELLENT!!! I regularly rewatch your Devil Wears Prada video, so seeing this video pop up in my sub box was such a delight! I gained so much appreciation of this movie from your video, it was illuminating to see how the creators had to grapple and struggle with the studios’ demands but still manage to come out with an even better movie than what they started with! I now embrace Speed more than as just a fun action flick, but also as a great inspiration for creators to embrace and adept to challenges. Great video, I’m definitely looking forward to more!

    I haven't seen Speed since I was a kid and almost skipped this video but I'm so glad I didn't! What a great breakdown of a scene. I'm going to have to give the movie another go.

    I absolutely loved watching this movie. I was in my Keanu Reeves phase, and love Sandra Bullock.

    • @beatm6948
      @beatm6948 Год назад

      It was quite entertaining and I'd probably watch it again.

    • @beatm6948

      I forgot about the elevator bit, but after you mention it, it was in fact weird. It was weird watching it. Wait, why are we in an elevator? Are we going to chase the guy while in a bus? It's very strange to watch, but it creates fascinating pacing, and I quite appreciate it's existence. And here's the thing, like you said, it's entertaining, so you don't care that we're not on the bus.

    “Too much bus” is on the same vein as IGN going “Too much water.”

    edit1: your bus related puns do not go unnoticed, haha
    edit2: almost done with the video! this was a pretty interesting topic, actually, especially on the many revisions this sequence has undergone and how they actually ditched the more complex "bait and switch" villain for a more straightforward, but also more effective villain. goes to show that maybe the simplest solution IS the best way to go...then again, with how intricate the parallels were between the elevator and the bus, it's anything but simple

    Great discussion
    I don't think it would have worked as well being all on the bus --- definitely 'too much bus' in the first draft lol
    But what do I know, look at that train movie that just came out, all train (bullet train)
