I watched mother just because of this video, man these korean movies are awesome...Oldboy, Memories of murder, New World, I saw the devil, are just a few examples of very good korean movies that I watched recently.
I've seen I Saw The Devil too and it was amazing! More graphic, more suspense, more action in ISTD than Mother…but doesn't make Mother any less awesome.
I really noticed the use of windows for framing in this movie as well, and I think it definitely goes along with the idea of us being witness who can't do anything about it. Such a great film; so many layers of mysteries to solve, and even when the main one is resolved, the mysteries of the characters, and why they do what they do stays with you. Really enjoyed your analysis! I'd be interested in what you thought of Birdman, as I just saw it recently, and absolutely loved some of the things it did with film form.
Just watched Mother on your recommendation (I switched off your video at the spoiler warning). It's a masterpiece. Thank you. Now I watched your excellent video on it, too. Great analysis as ever!
I've gotta say Tony, your videos are some of the most impressive content I've faced within this subject. I think that just by looking at the ratio between likes and dislikes about this video shows how golden these things are
Bong Joon-ho is one of the best filmmakers alive today. Mother, The Host, Snowpiercer; all immaculately-crafted, boldly original, and wildly entertaining films. * * * Still my favorite director 6 years later. 1. Parasite 2. The Host 3. Memories of Murder 4. Mother 5. Snowpiercer 6. Okja 7. Barking Dogs Never Bite
Snowpiercer was by far his weakest though. I just can't being myself to enjoy it, even though it has some solid cinematography. The acting and plotholes just ruin it for me
jettrooper3rd Likewise. I wanted to like it, it just got more and more forced, contrived... not sure I even have the right words. Given his other stuff, almost feels like I missed something? I mean, what is it other people like about it. Anyone?
I believe i did watch the start of the video at least tthree times before watching the movie, and finally seeing the video. Man, I'm happy I waited till i saw the movie before watching the video.
I watched this video a while back. A couple of times maybe, but a year or so ago. So, when I watched it recently, I didn't remember what exactly the spoiler was but I remembered that this movie was great. Wasn't disappointed!
I just binge watched all of your uploads. I regret nothing! These are so well made and informative, it's hard to not enjoy them. I am a huge fan of the things you don't notice right in front of you while watching films. That once explained cause a facepalm and a "I can't believe I didn't notice that!" but that's the point almost. That the first viewing it is all about affect, how "x" shot teleports your point of view into the story. Then on second or later viewings we look behind the curtain to see the levers being pulled. I highly enjoy movies and understanding why certain choices were made. So, please, keep making these. They are right up my alley.
This film is one of my favourites and I couldn't exactly explain why I love this movie in particular but after watching your explanation for this film form in detail, it explains so much! Your analysis is easy with fun and very clear! I think I will be your consistent subscriber from now on. Thanks, Tony!
Such an incredible film. I was lucky enough that my first viewing of Mother was the black and white version originally intended by Bong Joon-ho, it really gives the film a whole other dynamic.
I too watched mother just because of this video. Thank you for making these videos, as a novice filmmaker, they are very informative. If you make a tribute for Miyazaki one day, I will be forever grateful.
I, too, have watched Mother because of this video. I just happened to stumble upon Who Wins The Scene in Silence Of The Lambs and have subscribed to your channel since. I'm neither a professional OR a novice filmmaker but I find these topics very interesting. You allow us to truly see a scene and understand a director's motive in movies. I look forward to seeing more of your videos.
+Every Frame a Painting I'm actually glad that you've done Satoshi Kon long before Miyazaki. Kon gets easily overshadowed by Miyazaki in the west because his film content is vastly different. Yet in my personal opinion, Kon's films are superior those of Miyazaki.
Bong Joon Ho is releasing his new korean film since 10 years called Parasite in may. Where have u gone dear channel owner?.. hope u aint dead and watch it too
Had to pause the video and go and watch the film. I've just finished it and can't believe this is my first time hearing about it??! Man I loved it!! The ending surprised me; I certainly did not see that coming. If it weren't for this video I probably wouldn't have seen it. Thank you!
"There's actually a lotta great videos on the Internet analyzing movie content or themes, but I think we're missing stuff about the actual form --- you know, the pictures and the sound." ---> That summarizes most of my qualms with 'Certified' critics on Rottentomatoes as well as amateur movie-reviewers, bloggers, and cinephilia in general. Most people only seem to articulate how they feel about filmmaking in terms of characterizations, story, and screenplay terms. Not that those elements aren't important to filmmaking, but I've always been puzzled as to why people aren't more visually literate given how overwhelmingly dependent humans are on eyesight and visuals to survive.
I think critics is there to analyse the story told. But it's cinephiles where this suffers. If you say you are a cinephile and the first thing you mention about a movie is how good the actors were you have no idea what you're talking about.
@@HermanFalckHow Acting is a visual component quite important of a movie tho... But i get what u mean, if a reviewer doesnt give adequate importance to editing, photogram composition, estructure of a scene and those kind of things they dont know what they are talking about.
He was going to leave after the rock landed near his feet. But the girl started to give a hate speech and called him retarded, so he threw the rock back in.
I'm another one of the many who began watching this, stopped at 0:37 and only came back upon finishing the film. It took me nearly a year to get around to it, but it was worth it. I'd seen a few of Bong's other films before, so this was always on my list, but now I've finally seen Mother, and your analysis was spot on.
Bong Joon Ho did this as well in Parasite, with some of the conversation scenes and especially the massacre- where the most parts of the movie was shot normally with wide to medium lenses on the Alexa 65.
I think i am in love with your voice. Well, mostly how well you explain things and how clear everything is in your head. Everything you make is filmmaking in itself because verything you say is so well thought out. :) Thank you, it really opens my eyes to the details and helps me appreciate and pick out the good directors from the not so great ones.
OH MY GOD THIS MOVIE! I watched this years ago but could never remember what it was called, only that it was amazing. Thank you so much for doing a video on this, now I can show it to my friends.
You do a really good work which permit me to put words on what i like in movies. You give me explanation and some clues for having a better readability of those movies. Thanks you I love Korean movies !
I've been a fan of EFAP for years, and I'm only now watching his very first video because it took me this long to finally see Mother. Great movie, great RUclips channel. This is the one that started one of the best movie analyses channels on here, even to this day. It's a shame Tony retired from doing these kinds of videos, but at least he ended things his way. 💙
I've gotta say it..you are probably the BEST film analyst I have ever seen next to Scorsese. Honestly you have a grasp of film I can only dream of. Cheers mate. Im off to watch Mother and Wolf children. :)
subscribed... such a great show, i love anything that can give me a better insight into art (movies, video games, etc) and i love how you seem to respect our (read my) intelligence, yet explaining so much about something we ( read I) know very little about, thanks and i cant wait to see the next show
Despite despising the rationalization seemingly inherent in film praising, I just watched all of your videos and have already begun conceptualizing shots based on some of what you've said. +1
God I love this movie. Movies of the Korean New Wave are so thought-provoking and complex that it disappoints me that so many people enjoy sub-par K-dramas instead of delving into actual Korean cinema.
K dramas are best, since for ages. K movies have been sophisticatedly made for the last 20 yrs, but 30 yrs ago, K films were pretty bad. K dramas been always great, most of them, that is, esp with the advanced sophistication in making them. I LOVEDDDD Mr. Sunshine.
As someone just said, because of your analyses I want to read more about film form and analysis as well. This was interesting and it makes me want to better understand movies now. I have to ask, what's wrong with Les Miserables?
i can't account for all the issues, but a couple particular issues are that nearly every shot for any scene about anything, is all done in close-ups. and on top of that, they use that "dutch tilt" (i think?) screwy angle for any random mood even when it makes zero sense for the intended tone, making it feel like you're just drunkenly in everyone's face for no reason.
I just watched this movie because of the video. What a strange but beautifully shot film. I'm still not quite sure how I feel about it. It's incredible how the Joon-ho was able to blend like four different genres without it seeming cobbled together.
Re-watching all of these because I miss this channel. I'm wondering if I can glean some of these film techniques and transfer similar aspects into the book I'm writing.
I haven't watched all of your videos yet, so I apologize if you've already done this, but I would love to see you analyze Park Chan-Wook's work. There are some beautiful shots in the revenge trilogy (Oldboy especially.)
i really like the fact that you tell the viewer to stop the video and go watch the movie , not just a spoiler alerte , it shows that you dont realy care about the number of views ,what you care is for them to see what you saw and feel what you felt watching what according to you is a good movie , so i will watch the movie and get back to your video also im learnig a lot watching your videos so don't stop making theme

Wish Tony would come back and review parasyte
*Parasite. "Parasyte" is a anime.
That would be lovely
@@Faynwulf lol the movie parasite
@@JRRinon Yes. "Parasyte" is an anime though. That's why I corrected him.
You read my mind
01:53 Wow! I just realized the lady who is grabbing the mom by the collar is the maid in Parasite. Suprising!
when I saw Parasite it dawned on me too... Bong Joon Ho pretty much is like Wes Anderson he keeps on using the same actors on his movies
she had an audition for 'mother'. and after that, she's with him
@@GilieVerIsle a lot of directors do that
Gilie's Mesh Just like Christopher Nolan.
And what’s more surprise is that she acted ‘Super Pig’s voice’ on Okja :)
Finally watched Mother. Finally watched this video.
Same here! 🙌🏼
I watched mother just because of this video, man these korean movies are awesome...Oldboy, Memories of murder, New World, I saw the devil, are just a few examples of very good korean movies that I watched recently.
watch all about lily chou chou
Jang Di oops
I've seen I Saw The Devil too and it was amazing! More graphic, more suspense, more action in ISTD than Mother…but doesn't make Mother any less awesome.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll check it out.
TheSludgeMan The Chaser is amazing.
i respect you tony. this is my new favorite channel. i've watched every video twice in the last week
And this is the video that can be called the MOTHER of all video essays. Because this started it all.
This is my comfort place. For the past and coming years you had and will find me watching these videos.
Very interesting to see how your videos have evolved from semi-comedic analysis into full-blown insight. Great stuff!
And now he won an oscar for best directing.
And Tom Hooper that directed Les Miserables went to to direct Cats, lol.
I really noticed the use of windows for framing in this movie as well, and I think it definitely goes along with the idea of us being witness who can't do anything about it. Such a great film; so many layers of mysteries to solve, and even when the main one is resolved, the mysteries of the characters, and why they do what they do stays with you.
Really enjoyed your analysis! I'd be interested in what you thought of Birdman, as I just saw it recently, and absolutely loved some of the things it did with film form.
Dude you are an educator! Please do not stop doing these videos.
:´(
and he did..
Rip
😓
What happened to our boi? :(
Just watched Mother on your recommendation (I switched off your video at the spoiler warning). It's a masterpiece. Thank you. Now I watched your excellent video on it, too. Great analysis as ever!
I've gotta say Tony, your videos are some of the most impressive content I've faced within this subject. I think that just by looking at the ratio between likes and dislikes about this video shows how golden these things are
I've noticed that a lot of mainstream directors don't really take advantage of cinematography like french or south korean directors would.
Bong Joon-ho is one of the best filmmakers alive today. Mother, The Host, Snowpiercer; all immaculately-crafted, boldly original, and wildly entertaining films.
* * * Still my favorite director 6 years later.
1. Parasite
2. The Host
3. Memories of Murder
4. Mother
5. Snowpiercer
6. Okja
7. Barking Dogs Never Bite
Snowpiercer was by far his weakest though. I just can't being myself to enjoy it, even though it has some solid cinematography. The acting and plotholes just ruin it for me
Memories of Murder.
Its a masterpiece.
***** Agreed. By far the best serial killer themed movie ever made, and one of the most compelling murder mysteries.
***** agreed.
jettrooper3rd Likewise. I wanted to like it, it just got more and more forced, contrived... not sure I even have the right words. Given his other stuff, almost feels like I missed something? I mean, what is it other people like about it. Anyone?
Holy cow, you really ARE the best cinephile on youtube.
I've been watching all of your videos and they're really good, keep up the good work, now I'll watch Mother so I get to watch this one
Heard your spoiler alert a year ago. Finally watched the film. Thank you for the recommendation and thank you for the analysis.
I believe i did watch the start of the video at least tthree times before watching the movie, and finally seeing the video. Man, I'm happy I waited till i saw the movie before watching the video.
Maxime Teppe Me too! Worth the wait. Great movie with a great surprise ending.
Same here, just finished the movie and then watched all of this video. So glad I watched it. Definitely worth it.
lol same. Finally got around to watching the film, and now finally watched this vid.
I watched this video a while back. A couple of times maybe, but a year or so ago. So, when I watched it recently, I didn't remember what exactly the spoiler was but I remembered that this movie was great. Wasn't disappointed!
Basically Mother is my second favorite movie of all time. I love it so much.
what is the first?
Taiyeef Sadman Oldboy. A commercial and art balance masterpiece!

That scene where he throws the rock at the girl...Argh...it gives me such goosebumps.
I think he just threw the rock inside the house because someone threw it out near his foot..
you did watch the movie ?
He was going to leave after the rock landed near his feet. But the girl started to give a hate speech and called him retarded, so he threw the rock back in.
The first time I saw it, I gasped for believing he was innocent all this time.
That guy played the son is won bin. He is a great actor, I recommend the man from nowhere and taegukgi. You won't even believe that's the same guy
I CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF THIS CHANNEL TONY YOU ARE THE BEST!
One of my favourite films, as well as directors. Thank you for all of your videos, keep them coming!

Saw Parasite cuz of Tony's love of Bong.
Finally Mother cuz I wanted to come back to this video.
So happy I did! 👏
great movie and great director
and the lead actress gives one of the best performance i ever seen for actress

Your channel is a gem
You are simply amazing... Thanks a bunch from another Bong Joon Ho fan.
Keep up the incredible work. Awesome Content.
When I watched Mother in the theater, It blew my mind. I thought and still think that Bong is a genius
Thanks. I just got to watch the movie. A real masterpiece.
Just finished the film so I FINALLY can watch this video!! It must have been years!

I was scared of using a telephoto for a film. Good movie shots. That director is good. Great video. Thumbs up. Thanks!
I wish you would make a comeback :'( Bong Joon-ho needs you for Okja
Thank you for doing this! Please don't stop)
Tony, you mentioned there are other channels which analyze other aspects of film making. Could you link to those or reply to this comment with names?

Love this movie.
I have never give this much thought about Mother until I saw this video. And I've seen Mother 4 times. This is one of my favorite movies.
i really like the fact that you tell the viewer to stop the video and go watch the movie , not just a spoiler alerte , it shows that you dont realy care about the number of views ,what you care is for them to see what you saw and feel what you felt watching what according to you is a good movie , so i will watch the movie and get back to your video
