I really appreciate you letting me know, and I’ll be more careful about double-checking footage in the future. Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment!
You should get your facts straight on Cimino. He directed 4 films after Heaven’s Gate: The Year of the Dragon 1985, The Sicilian 1987, Desperate Hours 1990 and The Sunchaser 1996.
Thank you for pointing that out! You’re absolutely correct that Michael Cimino directed several films after Heaven’s Gate. My intention was to highlight how the fallout from Heaven’s Gate severely damaged his reputation and limited his opportunities in Hollywood, but I should have clarified that it didn’t completely end his directing career. I really appreciate you taking the time to share this, and I’ll be more precise in the future. Thanks for watching and engaging with the video!
For "Batman & Robin", Joel Schumacher (whose directorial career continued after the film and included the 2004 film adaptation of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical "The Phantom of the Opera") was instructed by Warner Bros. to make the film more toyetic, especially after parents complained about the dark, violent, and sexual content in Tim Burton's "Batman Returns" in 1992.
Absolutely! Joel Schumacher was definitely working under a lot of pressure from Warner Bros. to make Batman & Robin more "toyetic," and it’s fascinating how that shift in tone contrasted so sharply with Tim Burton’s darker vision. Despite the backlash, Schumacher’s career did continue, and his work on The Phantom of the Opera showed his range as a director. Thanks for sharing this-it’s always interesting to explore the behind-the-scenes dynamics that shape a film! Appreciate you watching the video!
Schumacher made a comeback with 8MM. Dune in 1984 nearly killed David Lynch’s career after it bombed at the box office and rejected by critics and audiences. He did made a comeback with Blue Velvet which taught him it’s better to do independent films than try big budget Hollywood blockbusters.
That’s a great point! Dune (1984) was definitely a tough chapter for David Lynch, and it’s fascinating how it pushed him to focus on the kinds of personal, independent projects that defined his career later on. Blue Velvet was such an incredible comeback and really solidified his unique voice in cinema. Thanks for sharing this insight-it’s always interesting to see how setbacks can shape a director’s path. Appreciate you watching the video!
The fleeting, inexplicable commercial success of Benigni's "Life Is Beautiful" (about a father who tries to protect his son from the deadly dangers of being incarcerated in a Nazi concentration camp by lying to the kid about what's really happening) did more to destroy Benigni's career than the failure of his "Pinocchio." (Remember when he strutted over the seats at the Academy Awards, thinking he was being cute?) The undeserving "Life Is Beautiful" (Oscar winner for Best Actor and nominee for Best Picture and Director) is now regarded as the puzzling "Crash" or "Green Book" of its day -- one of the worst Oscar nominees ever. What were people thinking?
This video is an example of how AI can do just about everything but provide accurate stock photos or videos. It's crazy to think that AI has made creators so lazy that they can't even bother to put in 5% of the work themselves.
I can assure you that no AI was used in the making of this video. If anything the mistakes which have kindly been pointed out are an example of how us humans are not perfect and there's always room for improvement which we endeavour to take, one video at a time. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Thank you for catching that! You’re absolutely right-the footage shown is from the remake with Sir Michael Caine, not the original Martin Brest film with George Burns. I appreciate you pointing that out, and I’ll make sure to double-check these details in the future. Thanks for watching and for your sharp eye!

I disagree on The Great Dictator as a career killing movie for Chaplin. It's just...he was getting old, his comic style was VERY physical and it was hard for him to conceive less physical comedy premises to pull off, which is the real reason he slowed down. Jim Carrey has at least been gesturing toward either retirement or semi-retirement for the same reason.
That’s a great point! Chaplin’s physical comedy was such a huge part of his genius, and it makes sense that aging could have played a role in his career slowing down. I brought up The Great Dictator because it marked a turning point in his career, but you’re right-there were likely many factors at play. The comparison to Jim Carrey is really interesting, too-thanks for sharing your perspective, and I appreciate you watching the video!

That’s a great observation! While the negative reception to The Thing didn’t completely end John Carpenter’s career, it definitely seems to have narrowed his options and made Hollywood less willing to trust him with bigger projects. It’s ironic, considering how The Thing is now seen as a masterpiece. He kept making films, of course, but it’s fascinating to think about how different his trajectory might have been if The Thing had been embraced back then. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, and I appreciate you watching the video!

Yeah but Cloud Atlas is brilliant imo. I have a hard time understanding the hate for the film. I hope it will be rediscovered in future generations and reappreciated, like what happened to Hitchcock's Vertigo. In the meantime I'll keep rewatching my copy whenever I feel down, it's a great antidote.
I’m so glad to hear you love Cloud Atlas! It’s definitely a bold and unique film that resonates deeply with some audiences. I agree-it has the potential to be rediscovered and reappreciated by future generations, much like Vertigo. I love how you’ve made it a personal go-to for when you’re feeling down-that’s the magic of cinema! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and for watching the video!
Your mispronouncing Cimino and Chaplin ticked off Hoover at some other point apparently,. Also, Chaplin did not know about the Holocaust and said he would not have made the film at all or maybe very differently.. Still, it is a classic and HEAVEN'S GATE has its moments.
Heavens Gate is a horrible pointless movie that never should have been greenlit. I still maintain that the Deer Hunter was a boring, predictable, awful movie with few redeeming qualities that needed to be heavily heavily edited down to about half its running time for it to be even remotely watchable. It only won Oscars because of the subject matter and good timing. MC was nothing but a vain, self-serving, egotistical hack. He deserved what he got.
Thanks for sharing your perspective! Heaven’s Gate and The Deer Hunter definitely spark strong opinions, and it’s interesting how divisive Michael Cimino’s work continues to be. While some see him as a visionary, others, like yourself, view his films differently. Either way, his career trajectory after Heaven’s Gate is a fascinating cautionary tale in Hollywood history. I appreciate you taking the time to comment and share your thoughts-thanks for watching!
Tigerland definitely has its fans, and I can see why-it’s a unique and gritty take on the genre. That said, I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but it’s always great to hear different perspectives. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, and I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
My favorite part was when he used the wrong footage for "going in style" and the wrong poster for "Pinocchio"
Also the wrong Beverly Hills Cop poster. He used the one from the recent four-quel.
I really appreciate you letting me know, and I’ll be more careful about double-checking footage in the future. Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment!

The old farts dominated voting back then. It was a feel-good movie.
Chaplin already was quitting, knowing he was a silent-film maker, and his character(s) simply can not function in the "talkies".
You pronounce “Cimino” as Chim-ee-noh.
Beat me to it
Noted! Thanks for the feedback and for taking the time to comment.
You ask too much from an ai bot channel 🤣
Excuse me, but Wachowski brothers' earliest "Speedracer" was even shitier than "Jupiter' s ascending".

I think the negative reception to The Thing pretty much ended Carpenter's career, but that's not saying that he didn't keep making films

Don't forget that 4th Matrix movie that also flopped
Good point, such a shame!
I had high hopes for Matrix : Resurrection. The bright color scheme throughout the film seemed off. The trilogy mostly had dark gray and green colors.
Today I learned there is a 4th Matrix movie!
Only movie I took seriously and then laughed when it was over
That fourth Matrix movie was so bad it felt like it was done on purpose.
0:15 this would have made more impact if you chose people who we had heard of.

Not to pile on, but you included clips from the wrong version of “Going in Style.” The clips you used are from the Zach Braff version.
