I was 11 years old when I saw this movie in theaters with my father and pregnant sister. My dad had to take my sister home pretty early into it because she got sick from the handheld movement, so 11 year old me was left alone in this dark theater and it is one of my favorite cinema experiences and this is one of my favorite movies of all time. I still watch it pretty often, maybe once a month. No other found footage movie has done it like this since.
THIS is what I want out of movie recaps, lore and thoughts/opinions! Also, my adhd thanks you for your speed talking and staying on point! 😂 definitely subscribed! Keep em coming please!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
another BANGER of a video gracie 100/10 cloverfield (2008) was the first movie that made me fall in love with film making frfr. i loved the way it was filmed so much and its probably my favorite found footage type of film.
Thank you!!! It’s so so good. Cloverfield and movies like it were what I wanted to be able to do videos on, but even making this one, I was like I don’t feel like it’s as funny it’s just a really thorough breakdown haha so I’m so glad people liked it.
I loved 10 cloverfield Lane but I watched it without having seen any of the other movies and didn’t know it was connected to them. The suspense was much better not knowing about the connection because I’d assume it was obvious John Goodman was telling the truth if I knew it was for sure an alien movie
I literally knew about none of this. I didn't like scary or disaster movies growing up and to be honest I didn't fully consume all of the information in this video cuz holy shit that's a lot but I am so so intrigued and I'm definitely watching the first two movies ASAP
My brother invited me and my other brother to watch this movie. We went eating at Islands before but for some reason I guess I ate too much or too fast, or just food poisoning. As you might have guessed, we went to the movies to watch Cloverfield right after. I was already feeling nausea before the movie started and I don't know how I didn't go sick watching the movie. I think there were segments of the movie where I had to close my eyes, sweating profusely. Great memories though.
For me what really made the movie was my friend Tee getting out his seat while saying “Fuck these people, I don’t care about them. I’ll see ya later.”, then the head came crashing down as well as his ass into his seat. :)
We know it destroyed Clover, as well as a ton of innocent civilians...whoops....but I guess in terms of potential world ramifications, not sure if every parasite was taken out
Also sorry to use her relation to a man to identify her, I was going for the comedic timing of her being JJ’s daughter hahaha but yes love Gracie Abrams!!!
Thank you everyone for watching! If anybody has a second, can you please confirm or deny if this audio sounded okay? Clear enough? SFX too loud or too quiet? Been testing out mics. Thank you!
This is the first video of yours that's popped up in my recommendations. I really like your speaking voice and how quickly you get to the point, but the asmr clicking sound in your intro almost made me click off honestly 😅 glad I stuck around though
Your mic maybe a bit hot, but nothing super bad, let me give you a tip, there's an adobe feature that you upload the audio and it cleans it up almost studio quality, look for Adobe ai speach enhance, another thing could be Capcut, I use Premiere so don't have too much experience on it, but a friend that uses it with just a few clicks it enhaces your voice to 11, and is super cheap compared to Premiere... hope it helps 😅 awesome video btw
hahaha I'm prepping a video on it, so I'm keeping it hush hush (NOT GATEKEEPING, I WANT EVERYONT TO WATCH IT) but trying to put something together first
It was peak, tied in with one of my favorite shows at that time too The trailer hooked me, then through the show I got dragged down the rabbit hole with no resistance.
You know what, I need to rewatch it. My experience was not knowing it was part of the universe, and I was rocking with it, and then I realized it was and was, like, disappointed, so this is a take I agree with, I think on its own, it's a solid sci-fi film, but I watched it when it came out in 2018, I need to rewatch it
hahaha omg thank you! I always watch it before I upload and every time I'm like, this is too chaotic but then I post anyway because it takes about 20 hours of editing to finish.
Not finished the video, but I think the fact "survival thoughts" are given there in the autoplay thing, I would like to inform you that there are 3 different monsters (imo). The tail that destroys Golden Gate Bridge, is too long, almost fish like. Then, the full body is not adapted to move in the ocean. And finally, when one of the guys gets eaten, we see its not pale like every other time we have seen it. I.E. you dont have to survive 1 clover, you need to survive 3. I think the theory is further proved by the "its still alive" message at the end. Only 2 of the 3 clovers died, but one survived Its still alive, and I think it is the fish thing that destroys Golden Gate Bridge, since it never seems to get onto land, like, ever. Not confirmed, but I think so.
wait, I'm not being funny, I genuinely can't tell if this is serious or not, if it is, i am SO SORRY I am NOT dragging you, I thought maybe you're making fun of my rambling about the dimensions
@@goodtaste2185 OHHH yes you're so right!! That's a good point, I wonder if I can pull side by sides of frames of the monster next to different buildings hahaha
judging by the size of the statue of liberty's head, the accuracy of scale for anything in the movie was quite mutable, mostly designed to maximize the emotional impact of the visuals
Wait thank you for the info! I did research and saw JJ and others refer to the monster as a he, but I respect the designer if designer decided she was a she haha And that’s cool on the address! Although it does suck to me when it doesn’t line up, like what you’re saying, if it’s set in Louisiana then where is the exact street boooooo

Heeheehee thank you!!!
man cloverfield is such a good movie, it's just so fun to explore how different people react in those situations
IT’S SO GOOD
fhshidbejcjdjc you replied omg your channel is amazing only just found it but a new favourite for sure 🧎♀️
Oh my god thanks so much!! That’s so nice! Welcome!!
I would LOVE to see you cover 10 Cloverfield Lane in a similar way. That movie is absolutely underrated to me, it’s honestly a near masterpiece.
It is SO GOOD. I had no idea what the general consensus was on that one but I so agree
@@GracieTalksAboutThingsit’s such a fantastic movie! I would love if you covered it next!
I’m thinking of possibly throwing a poll up somewhere for the next ones I’m considering but I would LOVE to do this one
Your editing is so good it keeps the whole video so so so entertaining
Thank you; this is so nice! I constantly battle with myself over the edit and what I want it to be haha so I appreciate this so much
I love videos exploring movies like this, I’ve watched a bunch on Cloverfield, it’s fun to see and hear all the different theories
The theories are so fun eeeeee love to discuss
@ Absolutely! Also, really enjoying your channel, just binge watched most of your videos lol, can’t wait for the next one!
Thanks so much!! Should be coming out Sunday if everything cooperates
I have never in my life heard a person speak English as fast as you do! It’s a talent for sure - sounds like the way French people seem to speak 😂
Even for me, the rewatch was jarring on this one, gonna try to slow down a liiiiiiittle bit going forward just to be understandable hahaha
@ it’s all good haha, it’s a workout for my brain! 😂 loved the vid btw!!
…and Im over here watching in 1.25x speed… 👀😳🫠🤷🏻♀️😂
I feel like so much happened in less than 30 minutes. The way you were able to pack all that information is impressive
Oh thank you! I always feel frantic trying to get everything across hahaha
Your presentation was thoughtful, engaging, and interesting. The sound is fine. Subscribed.
Thanks so much!!
21:43 "Hud is eaten by Clover... Clover did nothing wrong" lol
clover should have been protected!!!
This was a great and fun video! Loved the humor and your talking pace was great. I also think Clovie and I would be besties.
THANK YOU yes, clovie would be a blast (pun not intended), I know it
You talk at the perfect pace this video is so nice to listen to 💕
Heeheehee thank you!!

I like all 3 movies, honestly Paradox I enjoyed the most. But it’s also hard to compare them to each other as they’re all filmed in different genres.
So true, honestly, I like Paradox as a standalone, but then was hard to put into the Cloverfield universe in my head, so I was probably too harsh haha
I loved 10 cloverfield Lane but I watched it without having seen any of the other movies and didn’t know it was connected to them. The suspense was much better not knowing about the connection because I’d assume it was obvious John Goodman was telling the truth if I knew it was for sure an alien movie
Ooooh good point. Yeah 10 Cloverfield Lane was EXCELLENT I want a sequel to that so badly
Ugh I loved that all the characters had Myspace accounts at the time of the movie’s release but they all got taken down 💔
I know I wished these sites were still up !!
I'm glad the recommendations made me find your channel, time to binge watch everything lol
heeheehee welcome!!
Love your explanation and your energy 👌👌
Thanks so much!! Love doing these

that's such a visceral memory
Watched the video and was expecting u to have like 500k subscribers minimum based on the content, loved the video! Keep it up 🫡
oh my god THANK YOU so nice. I started from nothing 6 months ago, so just trying to grow!!
@@GracieTalksAboutThings you're killing it! Keep up the good work
@@Futher_Mucker just gotta say, as a newbie, this really does mean so much to get such sincere positive feedback hahaha thank you.
For me what really made the movie was my friend Tee getting out his seat while saying “Fuck these people, I don’t care about them. I’ll see ya later.”, then the head came crashing down as well as his ass into his seat. :)
HAHAHA Apparently JJ had that shot idea in his head before they even started working on the movie
@@GracieTalksAboutThings I can see that.
10 Cloverfield Lane is also my favorite tbh
So good !!
What I want to know is if the Hammer down protocol worked!
We know it destroyed Clover, as well as a ton of innocent civilians...whoops....but I guess in terms of potential world ramifications, not sure if every parasite was taken out

you should break down the other movies too 🙂
I’m going to do 10 Cloverfield Lane in December I think!!
Also, congratulations on almost 1,000 subscribers.

hey Gracie, I'm new here, love the review! keep going ,girl 💅
Thank you so much!!!! Eeeee welcome!!
is the tv show westworld?
It’s not but I love the guess!!
I’m already guessing you were a Felicity fan, we’ll see if it was that or Alias
FIRST OFFICIAL GUESS. Thank you for your guesses.
@ heh, cool
I was just happy to flex that weird trivia that’s stuck with me all these years
Flexing weird trivia is 99% of what we do here; thank you for understanding the assignment
I would simply save the entire island of manhattan by becoming Clover’s surrogate mommy
see you get it. befriending clover is a HUGE part of my survival plan
Every time you say the drilling station woke it up I think about that Underwater movie with Kristen Stewart
OH MY GOD THAT JUST UNLOCKED SOMETHING IN MY BRAIN I FORGOT ABOUT THAT MOVIE I liked that one too
Didn't JJ do CSI?
I think you’re thinking of Alias!! I didn’t know anything about CSI but maybe I missed something
@GracieTalksAboutThings Oh you are right! I am thinking of Jerry Bruckheimer! *palm to face*
I dont get the hate for paradox. it doesn't do much for cloverfield but on it's own as a sci-fi movie I'd always be up for stories like that.
You know what, I need to rewatch it. My experience was not knowing it was part of the universe, and I was rocking with it, and then I realized it was and was, like, disappointed, so this is a take I agree with, I think on its own, it's a solid sci-fi film, but I watched it when it came out in 2018, I need to rewatch it
I've never heard of this movie before but I'm 100% sure id survive this
i mean it's cuz i live on the other side of the country but shh
yessss, go with your gut. I like the confidence. You're talking to someone who says they'd survive literally all of these.
2:35 I actually genuinely don't agree, I think ppl made that movie out be worse than it actually was, but that's just me I guess.
this is why we discuss!! totally valid opinion!
I worked at Blockbuster when this movie came out and we all had to wear these ugly, grey Slusho! tshirts for promotion lol 10/10 video loved this
Wait this is amazing!! I LOVE a slusho! Tie in that’s fantastic. The marketing for this film is one of my favorite things.
were y'all allowed to keep the slusho merch once the campaign was over?
@@arbyswitch5580 yes! I don't know if I still have it but I will look around lol
Wait u know Superman?

The monster from cloverfield is actually a girl named Clover , the designer who made her named her that
Oh also 10 cloverfield lane exists as a real address in Delaware which is semi close to New York , it looks like the farm, but , it’s set in Louisiana
Wait thank you for the info! I did research and saw JJ and others refer to the monster as a he, but I respect the designer if designer decided she was a she haha
