This 90s Film Predicted WOKE culture
Released in 1993, Demolition Man, directed by Marco Brambilla, stands out as one of the most thought-provoking and satirical sci-fi films of its time. While its primary narrative revolves around the futuristic conflict between John Spartan (Sylvester Stallone) and Simon Phoenix (Wesley Snipes), the film presents a dystopian society that has curiously become a source of reflection in contemporary culture. Many critics and fans alike argue that Demolition Man prophesized aspects of what we now describe as "woke culture"-a social movement focused on political correctness, inclusivity, and the dismantling of oppressive systems. In this visual essay, I'll examine how the film anticipated the cultural shifts that underpin this modern phenomenon, using its portrayal of censorship, social engineering, and moral absolutism.

How TARANTINO Made a Pivotal Character From Nothing
มุมมอง 9193 หลายเดือนก่อน
Jackie Brown is my favourite Tarantino film, and I can talk about its rich, layered narrative and characterisations endlessly. One of the standout roles for me in the film is that of Melanie Ralston, played by Bridget Fonda - a deceptively small role that has catastrophic effects on the plot of the film. In this visual essay, I do a deep dive into Melanie's role in the film, focussing on the di...
The Downfall of Everyone in HEAT is Because of One Man
มุมมอง 3594 หลายเดือนก่อน
Michael Mann's Heat (1995) is an absolute masterpiece of storytelling, and a crime epic that few films in the same genre can rival. In this visual essay, I do a deep dive into Heat's plot, focussing on the character of Waingro, a minor character who, I argue, is imperative to the structure of the film. Please see chapter markers below if you'd like to view specific parts of this video. If you'v...
This is TARANTINO'S Most Complex Character
มุมมอง 2444 หลายเดือนก่อน
In this visual essay I discuss the complex nature of one of Tarantino's most fascinating characters, Drexl Spivey from True Romance (1993), played by Gary Oldman. I explore the themes of race, identity, and violence inherent in the film, and focus on the multi faceted layers of Drexl as a minor character: one which would usually be somewhat one dimensional, but in the hands of Tarantino is trul...

    ' its always the same thing , its when you start to become really afraid of death that you learn to apricate life ' 'Do you like life sweet hart ? - ' yes' 'That's good ' ' Because I take no pleasure in taking life , if its from a person who doesn't care about it ' ... this line alone has to be the most chilling line in any movie made, the whole scene was chilling Oldman face expressions his tone though when he dropped that line things good even more cold and dark , seeing it for the first I whispered wo. Oldman is such a great actor he can become the person he is playing and you believe he is really like that.
