Life Advice in a Horrific Episode of ‘Malcolm in the Middle’ │ A Video Essay on Burying the Past
If you wanted an episode of the Fox sitcom ‘Malcolm in the Middle’ with an A Story by David Cronenberg (Body Horror), a B Story by David Fincher (Psychological Horror), and a C Story by David Lynch (Suburban Gothic), you might get the fourteenth episode of season six: Ida Loses a Leg.
To clarify, this episode isn’t ‘horrific’ in the sense that it’s ‘scary’ - it’s comedy which borrows themes from horror - with the ‘body horror’ theme of Ida (Cloris Leachman) losing her leg saving Dewey (Erik Per Sullivan) from a truck, the ‘psychological horror’ theme of Hal (Bryan Cranston) planting the idea of Malcolm (Frankie Muniz) and Reese (Justin Berfield) gluing each other’s faces to the floor, and the ‘suburban gothic horror’ theme of the past having a hold on Ida, Lois (Jane Kaczmarek), and Francis (Christopher Masterson).
Props to the audiovisual artist Samuel Francis Johnson for the incredible tracks used as this video's ambient soundtrack: Cosmic Intro Idle long (ID: 118332) and Deep Drone Atmosphere (ID: 11759).

EVERYBODY missed the point of Gattaca (1997) │ A Video Essay on Doing Wrong for the Right Reasons
มุมมอง 26K5 หลายเดือนก่อน
At the end of Andrew Niccol’s 1997 science fiction film ‘Gattaca’ a mission to Titan is doomed to fail because the lead astronaut has a heart condition and is already beyond his life expectancy. It’s reasonable to think that this is still a triumphant conclusion, however, the surface level of this film already shows Vincent’s (Ethan Hawke) questionable behaviour, such as assuming Jerome’s (Jude...

i sad now and obviously very thick
Being born in 1995, it took me 30 years to watch this. And man, I'm disappointed in Kelly's character. She has a beautiful face, but still i fkin hate her for what she was doing with Lovvet even before chuck got lost in the sea
Castaway=noun. Cast away=verb
Well done, incisive, truthful - subscribed. Keep it up!
Sorry, the whole premise that the reward for surviving 4years on an unoccupied island and a plane crash! is ( wait for it) Helen Hunt??? No,no,no,no, just NO.
You are comedic genius.
You are great with editing and sound. So funny!
🤯😳!!!! It's as if I had seen the movie in black and white first time around and now its in technicolor!
It's funny you say that because my friend sent me a video which (badly) colorized Casablanca the other day 😅 Full disclosure, there's also a follow-up video (link in the pinned comment) because I missed so much the first time around 😬
"Spalding!!!"
I think the use of "FEDeX" has a potential subtle innuendo.
Yes! In the follow-up video (link in the pinned comment) I included a joke from the comments: "Lovett was sorry that he fed Chuck's ex." 😅
So he was trying to warn him about her cheating by...telling them to get married?
He wasn't even 'Chuck's Friend' he was 'Kelly's Uncle' so that line of reasoning was wrong for multiple reasons 😬 However, in the follow-up video (link in the pinned comment) I did expand on this to illustrate that he had a contentious attitude toward Kelly and probably knew her better than Chuck did. I mean, who's to say that Kelly and her _lawyer_ ex-husband's divorce wasn't caused by cheating?
I didn't thnk they were married. Pretty sure they were not.
The definition of _affair_ encompasses 'long-term relationships' as well.
Until I saw your video, I never noticed these points. But now, I see something further right from the movie title. "Castaway" is a noun describing someone who is shipwrecked in some capacity. "Cast away" describes an object that is essentially thrown away. Chuck was both.
Well said! 👏 I often joke that the film was probably a few _marketing meetings_ from being called 'Chucked Away' 😅
Everything about the movie made sense to me except her. But i never viewed it through the lens of a possible affair. Now, the entire movie makes sense, not just the island.
This feedback is great to hear, thank you! 😃
You make an assumption that to predict a heart failure is to have a heart failure witch is a big difference. The same goes with the director's probability of violence is not just a matter of genetics, the human will is the part missing there. Mankind can still achieve horrible/incredible thing no matter genetics and upbringing because we are a complex species. You can have everything going your way and still fail and the flipside is that an underdog can achieve above expectations. The human will is the key with a portion of luck and right/wrong conditions at the moment that shapes your path.
It's not an assumption: the film showed that Vincent had a heart condition with his cardiac event on the treadmill. (I agree with the rest of your analysis though.)
wth she always had known he was alive but decided to be with another man anyways 😂 what is Hollywood trying to condition us flr now lol
It's an interesting question, I mean, my grandfather said that _"If Chuck had been a soldier and not a postman everyone would have assumed that Kelly was cheating"_ because - probably because it reflects real life so well - this is what Hollywood has conditioned viewers to expect, such as with The Thin Red Line (1998), Jarhead (2005), and even Swing Shift (1984) which borders on glorifying it 😬
Masterful editing! Really enjoy these videos, thanks for making them 😊
Thank you so much, you made my day! 😃
Holy crap! I wholeheartedly appreciate your contrarian/opposing viewpoints. At a minimum it always makes me rewatch the art that’s been given to us. Cheers!!
Thank you so much for the encouraging feedback! 😃
Oh I didn't miss it. It's all I remember. Lol
Well, some people are _exceptional_ 😅🏐☕
This is an obvious case of working bawkwards looki g for evidence because your evidence are just delusions.
Not the case, but even if it was, there's nothing wrong with working backward from a conclusion: for example, Kelly's map worked backward from the rescue site to locate Chuck's island and - theoretically - if they'd concluded that Chuck could only be alive on _some island somewhere_ then maybe during the search they would have checked some islands and found him 🤷 It's similar to the fallacy I mentioned in this video - that there's nothing wrong with _circumstantial evidence_ and in many cases it's more reliable than so-called _direct evidence_ (such as eye-witness testimony) - in that 'backward reasoning/chaining/induction' is a powerful tool for problem solving so long as it's approached with intellectual honesty. You seem to have some misconceptions about evidence/logic/deduction/induction/reasoning/etc. and this stuff is worth reassessing in any case regardless of the betrayal theme discussed here.
The movie is very heartbreaking , and that’s why it’s so good. I always thought tom hanks character would end up with the artist. one thing you did not touch on was the huge settlement that Tom’s character probably received from the plan crash and now that created interest back for his character from Kelly. Back to the pay check theory, while Kelly was doing her dissertation.
You're right! Chuck showing up literally _out of the blue_ as Mr. Moneybags to save Kelly from mountains of debt and despair 😅 A few people had mentioned Chuck's settlement/compensation and to be honest I just don't know enough about this stuff, but it would be a great video for somebody with the relevant expertise to make, maybe Legal Eagle 😃
Woman are opportunistic. They are never yours, it's just your turn. They are like cars. If you don't think it's true, why does the government issue a title on them in the man's name? They sell the only thing a man is interested in to the highest bidder, until the next one comes along!
Men are also opportunistic, and you can never own an individual.
Just gotta find the right woman, they ain't all like that
@@user-do1fq8oy9c men are opportunistic.
Next you'll start saying "femaaaaales".
I don't remember watching this movie but know I did. Thanks for this
Finally a cast away video that doesn’t mention the box!
Full disclosure, I did mention the box in the follow-up video (link in the pinned comment) 😬
Here is a twist you did not think of. Lovett says "I'm Kelly's husband." Go back to the dinner when it was stated that her first marraige wasn't worth remembering. What if Kelly was still seeing her husband because Lovett is who she was married too the first time? She was considering going forward with Chuck or going back to Lovett by the new year. Her previous husband wore a pager and was on call like Chuck. Surgeons wear pagers.
I like that! Unfortunately, at the Christmas Dinner they do say that her ex was a lawyer, which explains how she didn't have any cash from her divorce (don't mess with lawyers) 😬
A little perspective- perhaps Kelly is 'complaining' about her life a little to let him know nothing is perfect, so he doesn't feel so bad. It may somehow seem more kind than saying, yes, I am blissfully happy with my new life w/out you.
That's a good thought! It feels right, but Kelly did also want to become a Professor and does seem unhappy with her life, i.e. _"I think about taking (my PhD) up again."_ so it's not so clear 🤔
Nice work. Most of us kept waiting for the movie to begin. We thought it finally got going on the island. How easily we forget that the movie began at the beginning!
Well said! 👏
Some of us watch, while others understand.
What a disappointment about John Wayne. Sadly, the typical Hollywood commie isn’t a recent phenomenon.
"Never meet your heroes" 😔
Forrest Gump 2...
😂
In 'Forrest Gump 2' he and his son find the Zoltar Machine so that Forrest can be small again 😬
I hate Helen Hunt.
Any actors that went to a Diddy party are dead to me.
Except Ricci. I love her.
That's weird. You're assuming everyone knew and took part in what was going on as if it occurred from the start of said party to the end of it.
I knew Helen hunt was a freak
@@RealBradMillerdon't be daft. They ALL knew
I always found the timeline odd of this movie. He was on the island 4 years. In that time his wife got remarried to their dentist and already had a kid who appeared to be young but not a newborn. She didn’t spend much time grieving that’s for sure!
Well said! Not to mention leaving a _practically finished_ PhD on the shelf, I mean, she made a complete 180 😬
4 years is a long time.
@@insomthegreat Agreed, 4 years is a _very_ long time to not re-schedule a dissertation defense 😬
Good Sir, might I interject my opinion? The only “condition” Vincent had was his sight. While it is a plus to be able to run for 2 hours without an elevated heart rate, that is not needed for space missions. I didn't see the plans for them to run Marathons on Titan! That said, I don't think he would cause the mission to fail.
Low gravity has a catastrophic effect on heart defects and the scene on the treadmill is the film _illustrating_ that he didn't beat the 99% odds, so Vincent would have passed away before reaching orbit, which is thematic of his swimming race with Anton i.e. _"not saving anything for the trip back."_
Never noticed the place at the beginning is where he goes at the end to deliver the package. To be honest I probably only watched it all the way through one time when I first saw it. Other times was catching it at some point later in the movie.
I'm like that with Die Hard (1988) and Jurassic Park (1993) they're on the TV so often I usually pick them up halfway through 😅
Subscribed... you wow'd me! This totally rewrites the movie. We were blind. I always thought "Cast away" was a movie about a mute named Wilson, who goes down in a plane crash and gets stranded on an island with some nut. Once they escape, Wilson abandons him and later becomes a world Soccer star
Thank you so much! 😃 There's also a follow-up video (link in the pinned comment) if you're interested 😄 I like the idea of someone finding Wilson washed up on a beach somewhere and fixing him. It's kinda like the sequel they planned where Chuck and Bettina find the Zoltare machine so that he can be big again 😅
This was really good... but doesn't answer my questions: 1 - Mr FedEx never delivered the package. He returned it to sender? 2 - Why didn't he delivered it? 3 - (As Brad Pitt would say) WHAT'S IN THE BOX?!?!
😃 1- is an interesting question: I suppose that the packages would have been noted _not delivered_ 4 years ago and Chuck saw it as his duty to return them, maybe to make amends for opening them on the island (i.e. breaking the postman's code moral code?), but it begs the question whether he returned a version of the divorce decree re-written from his memory 😅 2- Those packages were all probably sent to multiple destinations throughout East Asia and were only on their _first transit_ with Chuck, so delivering them personally would have meant multiple flights to multiple countries and he probably didn't even have a new passport yet 😬 Also, many of them were time sensitive - birthday cards/presents, divorce decrees, and Bettina's letter - which is cool for the time theme in this film. 3- In the follow-up video (link in the pinned comment) I outline how the original script includes Bettina's letter in full and some green salsa for her estranged husband, so she was still hoping to reconnect with him, but by the end she's taken his name from the fence and (hopefully) moved on from being cast away. Thank you for the feedback! 😄
@ExtraCheeseProject finally... CLOSURE! 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for the good reply 😉
“4oil yearas on an oil in thee filem”
To me, this movie is just about a man and his soccer ball, Wilson. A true love story😂😂
Volleyball
I made a tennis ball & named Wilson. When I realized my children didn't understand the concept, I made them watch the movie. 😂 (They loved it also)

I watched the whole movie 6 times again and I still don't see where he was a ghost.
