The Secret Life of Walter Mitty | Ten Years Later
While Ben Stiller's 2013 adaptation of 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty' garnered mixed critical reception upon release, its optimistic ideology, gorgeous visuals, and creative scenarios made sure that it found a dedicated group of fans. Ten years later, 'Mitty' doesn't only stand as one of my personal favourite films, but as one that's continuously inspired and engaged those that have come to watch it.

Porco Rosso | Normalising the Absurd
มุมมอง 1.7Kปีที่แล้ว
With its humanoid yet piggish protagonist, Porco Rosso probably should stand as one of Studio Ghibli's most absurd works. However, the film employs multiple techniques to make sure that the normality of its protagonist is never questioned, and that as an audience, our suspension of disbelief is never broken.

Hollow Knight and Musical Characterisation
มุมมอง 3032 ปีที่แล้ว
The world of Hollow Knight is without a doubt humungous and diverse, and one of the best ways this is expressed is through its incredible soundtrack. In today's video essay, we'll be looking at Christopher Larkin's amazing boss themes, and how they characterise the inhabitants of Hallownest.

    I think the biggest change with walter is his attitude. Attitude can seriously change a mans life. Here he became more assertive, bold, and confident. Life is all about experiences and sharing with people close to you, and he got it at the end. I think thats real quintessence of life. This movie also reminds of the other movie called “yes man” by jim carrey

    Great video essay. I'm happy to see how much this movie changed people's lives and influenced them to become better versions of themselves, myself included. This is hands down the best movie to ever come out, to me at least. When I started my channel last year this movie was the first one I covered. Taking this as a reminder to do it again because, looking back now, that video is terrible lol

    "Tell me all about it over Cinnabon. CINNABONNNN" Love that line (and Patton Oswalt). Never had a Cinnabon though, maybe I should... Can we also take a moment to applaud the excellent soundtrack as well, I started really getting into the works of José Gonzalez because of this film.

    I am severely introverted and expected this movie to be right up my alley but I found it painful to watch. I found myself being embarrassed for him in both his “real life” and imagination through the whole movie. I was even embarrassed for the bad guy character. It’s a problem I have with many movies but this one was particularly painful to watch.

    3:50 I was the same. I didn’t see the movie when it came out but definitely remember it being advertised and just wasn’t interested at the time. Although im almost glad I saw it more recently as I felt a much deeper connection to it being a bit older and has definitely been an inspiration to “live”

    I admire most of Ben Stiller's work both as an actor and director so my comment is from a deeper than critical place. Walter, as loveable as he is/was is actually kind of a d!ck as a "person". He's so proccupied with his self imposed isolation that when he gets a very personal gift from an artist that he professes to admire, he throws it in the trash. Think about that for a sec. Then, on his birthday, his sister, who clearly has very little money, gives him another very sentimental gift and he trades it for a skateboard. Obviously, a used Stretch Armstrong with no box isnt exactly a valuable collectable and the long board he basically cons a kid into trading for is worth much more. He does gift the kid of the woman he is, lets face it, stalking more to get her to see what a " generous thoughtful guy he is". He ends up on a fishingboat after dropping very important radio parts in the sea after jumping into the wrong boat. When he reaches land again, he takes the only transportation these fishermen have, the shore bike, and crashes it. Just leaves it on the side of the road. After having abandoned the rental car he got in Nuuk. Somebody, probably that nice rental guy has to now retrieve it to make money. He constantly needs others to take up the slack for him while he just gets to end up being the "great guy" and ending up with the girl. He tells Hendricks he doesnt have to be "such a d!ck about it." At the finale, but its hard to see him as this hero when you really look at the way he operates. 2 cents.

    I liked the movie too. Although it does bring up painful memories. I was too a day dreamer because I wanted to escape the reality. But I was fixed in a position I didn't want to be in. So I feel that part is very realistic indeed. Especially when a girl/woman is part of it. I like the part when the wheels start to turn and Walter finds the courage in himself to explore the world. Like some other movies or tv-series I liked Walter Mitty but it has too painful sections that prevents me from watching it very often.

    the rotten tomato score is a badge of honor, a film is good if it has a low critic score and a high audience score. if both are high, it's a bad film (oppenheimer), if both are low, it's probably bad. the higher the delta towards audience score, the better the film is.

    The movie had multiple topics that it looked at and multiple stories from Mitty as he built his only reality taking him from real life. But his life turned out much better than his dreams where. But these dreams where a sign of his creativity. Those that didn‘t understand that or were not couragous enough to let the selves into Walter‘s reality, missed the movies most important lessons.

    The Secret Lift of Walter Mitty is Art. And not everyone gets great art during the lifetime of the artist that created it, unfortunately. But this movie is truly splendid and I love it and Ben Stiller for doing it.
