Brilliant

I set my DVD player to repeat and fell asleep to this movie for months. Great thought experiment in flim format.

Humans are selfish. That's why the comments would rather show how smart they are (to strangers) by showing that they enjoy an intellectual film but won't share a single idea. 😢 You'll never learn if you don't share

So how are you using it guys? Which idea/s awakened you? For me it was life is a test

This is one of my favourite essays I’ve seen. What a great job

This video was fantastic!

An Perfect Review ❤

I used to live around the corner from an independent film house that showed 1 movie for one week, Thursday through Wednesday. Me and and 2 of my friends would go every Thursday night to dinner at Sinclair’s next door and then to whatever was playing at The Capri. The night we saw Waking Life was truly exceptional.

Destiny is dream

I'm so disappointed this channel did not turn out as popular as it should, you have really explained all your movies well, I'm hoping things change for the better for you

really great video essay! thank you :)

This is great, and I'm intrigued to focus on this more. I appreciate the book sources.

I love you

Great analysis, i love this movie and you gave a solid summarizarion. Just subbed

well done!

My favorite, the best movie I've ever watched

I'm pretty sure he was dying. Because he got hit by a car. He even said he feels like he is being prepared for something and he is starting to think he is dead. All the conversations were a way of preparing his soul to let go of attachment to the idea of individual self existing in time and say yes to merging with God. Move on in a way. I don't think it was a dream. I think it was an experience his consciousness was having when he was teetering between life and death. He chose to accept death in the end.

People out here unironically taking the Sigma Male meme seriously?

Tbh huge bias but atleast the video is not braindead like others.

🥲👏👏👏👏👏 well said sir, well said

The problem is Pride and Prejudice is a "period piece" because it is a fictional story set in its present day, and only feels like a time capsule due to the setting (note how you could have used Forrest Gump instead for a similar reason). This is then compounded by comparing it to Oppenheimer, a biopic that tries to tell a life story as accurately as possible, and the historically inaccurate Braveheart and Birth of a Nation. These last 2 should be seen as commentaries on their present day using historical figures and events. Why else would the authors reach back in time one or more centuries only to invent characters like Austin Stoneman or set the Battle of Stirling Bridge in the middle of a field?

The movie is mostly exhilirated confusion. Oozing is a good word to describe this movie. Nice one.

#310🎉🎉🎉

I don’t get how 13,000 people can watch a video and then not subscribe to the channel leaving only 310 subs.

I’m ready to say yes.

Great video on a beautiful movie

You see in this world 🌎 there’s two kinds of directors camera 🎥. SERGIO LEONE. And then everyone else. YOU DIG ⛏?

I have never heard about this film before today. It sounds awesome. Thanks for sharing!

sigma male is a meme

Nice to see TH-cam recommended me a video from a small, independent content creator for a change. Great video, hope it goes viral.

I really like most of your analysis and agree/admire your approach and opinion on many points, but I very much dislike the implied politicization and generalization about those who voted trump into office and the discussion of how dangerous trump is. I am a young conservative guy and I very much dislike this “sigma” idea that is present on some social media outlets. I think the idea of having a “sigma” to look up to is stupid, but choosing people like Patrick Bateman, Dexter, Walter White, Andrew Tate etc. are very poor choices and reflect a primal and immoral attitude towards masculinity. These people believe that masculinity is congruent with wealth, violence/murder, extravagant spending, narcissism, dressing/acting and looking “cool”, and lots of sex. It’s not, it’s mental illness and it’s made quite clear in the film, so it’s puzzling and disturbing to me that people idealize someone who is supposed to be a monster. That being said, I am quite disappointed that you associate these people with trump voters, as while it is possible that many of these “sigma guys” may be conservative (but there is no concrete way to prove this), I highly doubt many conservatives would subscribe to this way of thinking, at least I don’t. So I feel like that comparison and then the following claim that trump is a monster, as well as implying that the “rise” of right wing politicians is a problem or somehow due to or related to people idealizing Bateman or Bateman like people. I find that quite disingenuous and politically charged, it essentially is demonizing people you don’t agree with and labeling them dangerous. Another thing, there really is no “rise” of right wing politicians either, they’ve always been here and I don’t think one election is indicative of a rise. I mean our current president is liberal, so is that a “rise” of left wing ideals? No. I’d argue that if anything, in the last 23 years, left wing ideas, or rather “woke” ideals have become exceedingly popular. This reveals a layer of bias, in my opinion, because it seems like you are only focusing on those who you seem to disagree with, hence why you would call the election of a conservative president indicative of a rise of an ideology. All of this makes me trust your other commentary less. Another commenter here pointed out something that I find very interesting and correct. Bateman, while at work, displays toxic feminine traits, while off of work he displays toxic masculine traits. It’s an interesting dichotomy that I think warrants discussion. Anyway, like I said I enjoyed the other parts of the video and the critique of this “sigma culture” but I really did not like the end, make of that what you will

Really liked this great job.

So if I construct my person because I want to be better then I am even constructing my gender ? What a lot of bs

I can tell by just the title that Man Carrying Thing is going to love this video.

Precise analysis, valid argumentation

TH-cam just recommended me your video and I love it! I'm so happy to see that more content creators are analysis Sigma media through a gender lens ❤

Gender matters when you're a delusional pronoun lunatic, yes

Patrick Bateman is not an example of a Sigma male. The act of manufacturing and performing a personality is the most unsigma like thing a person would do. When one hears the definition of a sigma male, even by the group that coined the phrase aspiring for it doesn't seem a bad thing as there is one non-fictional public figure that most people agree is the living embodiment of it and that is actor Keanu Reeves. The thing is most people trying to be a sigma could never be one, because it's not something you can really strive for unless you forget about hierachies, power and control and simply live a good, happy life without the distractions of the world throwing you into coniptions which means that by default you could care less about being a sigma male. If you define yourself as a sigma male then to put it simply; you are not.

I was following your arguments most of the video, but you lost me when Trump gets introduced.

i agree 100%. Same with Andrew Tate. Weak men need their Trump/Bateman/Tate to feel empowered because they are too afraid to act out their thoughts in real life.

Only the mere concept of feminity and masculinity as innate characteristics of the s exes are inherently toxic.

Well Done ! Very Gret Message and Editing . You earned a sub

Jokin' phoenix 💀😂

Didnt Kubrick also wanted Full Metal Jacket to be anti-war movie and now wannabe marines watch it religiously?

Great video! Thank you for this analysis! Yes, I think you're on point with these ideas

The director and writer of the film unintentionally, and by extension your video, are correct in that there are gender roles at play but have fundamentally put the cart before the horse. Patrick Bateman does not represent toxic masculinity. Patrick Bateman unwittingly represents toxic femininity. He is a man who is being forced unnaturally by his Corporate social environment to behave and compete in ways that are traditionally feminine. Batemans vanity and Obsession about his looks, his only way to climb the social ladder through absurd displays of social connection such as what restaurants he frequents, or by competing about something as inane as who has the better calling card, and his pathetic frustration for being physically mistaken for another co-worker that he is secretly jealous of. These are all forms of toxically feminine 10 packing and would not be seen as manly by anyone in their right mind. It is precisely to that end that Patrick Bateman takes up fantasies of becoming a serial killer, because in a warped mind his domination through violence of women is the only way he can regain some semblance of masculinity

oh wow, i genuinely thought this video was a really popular one due to it's real well done quality. keep it up dude, awesome work!! hope the algorithm pushes this out more 💞

Amazing job love! You definitely deserve way more views then you’ve currently got, and I hope to see you grow quickly 💜
