    In my anecdotal experience it was usually boomers and many members of Gen X who disliked the film. My parents are Gen X and I recently asked them how is it that back in the day they found Napoleon Dynamite to be stupid when they literally were fans of Beavis and Butthead which had pretty similar humor to Napoleon lmao

    I never thought of Napoleon Dynamite as a high school movie, as the adults and their issues get plenty of screentime as well, and a lot happens that has nothing to do with school. More of a "slice of life in a small town" movie.

    A animação help é provavelmente, pelo que os fans do jack dizem, sobre problemas mentais como depressão. O cara começa com um problema, representado como ele sendo esmagado por uma pedra, mas ele não parece perceber ou ligar, daí uma outra pessoa chega e percebe que ele tem um problema e diz pra ele que ele precisa de ajuda, mas não faz nada pra ajudar, só diz que ele precisa de ajuda e vai embora Daí uma outra pessoa chega, que parece só ter percebido por causa do cara amassado estar pedindo ajuda, e pergunta como ele pode ajudar, mas o cara amassado não sabe, então o outro cara só diz que ele não quer ajuda e vai embora.

    I tried to watch this with my family. My mom is a kindergarten teacher who works with a lot of kids at Kevin & Kaylee’s age. The second we heard Kevin’s agonized cries from stabbing himself, she broke down and left. I kinda forgot how sensitive to that she was, especially because we’ve watched The Shining and other great horror films. The fact it got her like that, while most movies put her to sleep, shows how effective the film is. Edit: She didn’t even want to finish it. She asked me (because I watched it first) if it at least had a happy ending. I said no. She said this film was truly cruel and evil.

    • @SamArChir
      @SamArChir 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It was definitely one of the cruelest horror movies I've ever seen. The scene of the blood splattering repeatedly and Kevin asking if he "Could watch something happy for once" were just so sad. The former was one of the hardest hitting scenes I've seen in horror even though so little is shown, but all it implied was so sad and cruel.

    When Batman looked at the boy, he was experiencing empathy. Empathy isn't confined to offering kindness to another as is suggested for a moment here... it's awareness of another's feelings.... in that moment, Batman struggled with his own feelings knowing what the child is going through. That is empathy. He may not have utilised that feeling to offer kindness or support, but he felt it and shared that moment of recognition. Ultimately hope and despair are on the same spectrum. We may experience both... there is no absolute and no certainty.... and both are possible. Much like happiness and sadness. Life isn't about obtaining one and avoiding the other, if we have any chance of finding a bit of peace in between. Life should be about nurturing hope and connecting to the silence and peace between as best we can.

    Hated this film when it was released as an 18 year old, but recently decided to give it another crack as a 38 year old with my daughters. Absolutely brilliant film that had us laughing so much. Simple with wholesome themes of friendship and growing up with a strangely nostalgic soundtrack.

  • @fennecfics
    @fennecfics 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I was genuinely scared of this movie. Like what you explained, I felt like I was just as helpless as the kids, I felt like a child, I didn’t know what was about to happen and I couldn’t do anything about it. When I first watched it I tried watching it with my dad but he walked out 5 minutes into the movie saying “it’s boring”. I understand, but that really frustrated me with how quickly he walked out.

    i was a huge batman fan during the release of the movie, but i didnt watch it, during the wave of The Batman, Something in the way was used a lot in the batman edit videos and i saw them a lot, and i took a liking to something in the way, and then a year later, i was immersed in nirvana, knowing their discography and so on, then i decided to watch the batman because it finally was released on netflix, it was such an expensive dinner, watching and hearing something that pleases me really well.

    Many semi-autistic characters here. The fact that they aren't really trying to be anything other than who they are is endearing. They are all innocents, even Rico. It's an implied criticism of phony coolness, and that kind of "growing up" that actually means becoming a big, convincing phony.

    Great video! This movie came out the year I got married. Twenty years later my husband and I still quote it and have seen it I don't know how many times. I can never make quesadillas without yelling "dang QuesaDILLas" . 😂My parents, on the other hand, saw it once and couldn't understand why we love it so much. Maybe it's a generation thing. My mom said "I don't understand why he always looks like he's falling asleep standing up!" 😂

    Someone wrote an incredible review on Letterboxd and all I can think about is that--personally, in my opinion-- it gives off not just the eeriness of being a child and being afraid of the dark - but also within the first five minutes, the sense of dread that gave off the feeling of childhood abuse. It was so familiar, and dragged me back to those memories, and I haven't watched the movie for longer than five minutes since I first tried...

    Wonderful, measured essay! Thank you! I’m a huge fan of Karen and have always been impressed by Todd Haynes’ work here, as eerie as it comes off. I do think he meant this as a thoughtful homage as well as a commentary on the many struggles Karen suffered.
