Restore Point - New Czech Sci-Fi Thriller! | UNPACKED (SPOILERS!)
I'm not sure about the younger generations, but growing up in the 80s and 90s, The Raven, was just a part of pop/culture (as well as the basics of a few of the other stories, the Tell-Tale Heart, and, the Mask of the Red Death, for example).
Just recently watched the movie and I thought it was a sad, beautiful and thought provoking look at Japanese society with issues that can be seen all over the world. I have seen my favorite all female rock bands from Japan in concert and both times I’ve heard comments from other men in the crowd that sexualized them first instead of praising their skills as musicians and respecting them as human beings. I like how the film shows the loneliness and alienation in Japan that I’ve heard has gotten worse with a lot of young people becoming shut ins and society is catering to them now so they can minimize human contact. No wonder Japan has low birth rates and high suicide rates. The pressures to fit in are so high that people want to escape. The sex doll owner in the movie did have a girlfriend once it was mentioned. I think she broke up with him so that’s why he chose to give up on real women because they gave him heartbreak and get sex dolls instead. But he still names his dolls Nozomi after his girlfriend. I thought the ending was tragic and beautiful and fit with the rest of the story. I especially liked the birthday party dream where all the characters were there and the final scene and line of the movie- “Kirei”. 5/5
Born Yesterday is hilarious, and Holliday's performance, while benefitting from the double All About Eve nominations, is really great in a rare comedy performance winning a lead acting Oscar.
Battleground is the first great Battle of the Bulge WW2 film. Highly recommended.
Citizen Kane regained its reputation in the mid-50s as one of the films the French New Wave writers really championed, and it hasn't looked back since. Unfortunately, Welles didn't benefit with as much support from Hollywood as he should have.
I enjoyed both very different depictions of this sci-fi story. The source material is better. The audiobook for Roadside Picnic is top tier! Stalker is a movie that requires patience and a palette for “slow cinema”. I’m excited for Stalker 2 the video game! It’s almost here.
(Steve here) A video game? I had no idea
@@DeepDiveMovieReviews Yes! Like Stalker the movie, it’s based on Roadside Picnic. Though it has the same title as Stalker the movie, it is a very different adaptation of the sci-fi story. It’s a 1st person exploration game in the Zone. Much more action to be expected in the video game. But still, in the world of weird alien phenomena.
th-cam.com/video/0NJzQp7OaXw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=1CZnS_uDOBrQnBU-
@@DeepDiveMovieReviewsAlso, have you seen Annihilation? It is loosely based on Roadside Picnic. It’s a good watch.
Thank you for reacting to the career of Alain Delon, always one of my favourites. It was nice to hear someone taking his acting seriously. Loved the comments. Some of my favourites that I highly recommend (besides the one's you mentioned) are: Rocco and His Brothers (1960) The Leopard (1962) La Piscine (The Swimming Pool) 1969 Joy House (1964) (in English) The Widow Couderec (1971) Mr. Kleine (1976) plus many more..... Re: Zorro I also recommend The Mark Of Zorro (1940) starring Tyrone Power, Linda Darnell and Basil Rathbone. An excellent "classic"...great acting. stunning B&W cinematography and excellent direction by Rouben Mamoulian. Check it out.
(Steve here) Thanks for the delightful comments and for watching
Did I misunderstand when someone mentioned this was Sinatra’s first movie. I thought he played in a few musicals in the 1940s with Gene Kelly. Anchors Away comes to mind. I remember him in films before a lot skinnier.
(James here) You didn't misunderstand, I misspoke. He had done lots of movies before this, which was in fact something of a comeback for him. Thanks for watching.
great discussion as usual. lancaster a favourite of mine also but largely because of crimson pirate...haha. i'm sure that film was the seed that got me into hk movies in later life.
My favorite movie in the franchise!!
(James here) Favorite? Wow. I liked it, but, for me, Alien and Aliens are on another level.
Steve's in HD, James is in SD. TIme to upgrade your camera sir. Great talk anyway, cheers.
(James here) You're right, I know, I know. Steve uses his phone, I just rely on my crappy Macbook camera...sigh. It's on the to-do list! Thanks for watching and glad to hear you enjoyed our ramblings.
@@DeepDiveMovieReviews no sweat. But for a split second I thought I had a problem with my right eye haha
I love Greta Garbo, but i hate her movies
i dont feel unconfortable with sexism and racism in things that are 100 years old
i will try to watch it, but i am not feeling motivated
I think the biggest problem for a modern audience is that it appears to only exist in really poor quality. I mentioned in a later video that I'd be willing to give it another go if a new restoration surfaced. Good luck!
@@DeepDiveMovieReviews i am someone of your age, most silent films always bore me even if i feel interested in the era, they were filmed and the Hollywood beggining, i did liked wings, and also the big parade, and also some silly melodramas that i found interesting, but the broadway melody seems like homework to me
This Best Picture win makes sense in the context of the time of its release: TV was becoming a real threat to cinema and audiences felt more attracted to stay at home (sounds familiar?), as consequence studios started to produce big, bombastic spectacles in order to bring people to the theaters, which explains the rise of subgenres such as the sword and sandals movies, or the grandiloquent epics that would come out in later years. And this worked in a way, because as you mention this movie was a massive box office success and it won the Golden Globe, and also benefited from the competition: High noon was successful but also very controversial due to being perceived as a critique of McCarthyism and the blacklists in Hollywood and Quiet man had John Ford already having a BP winner. So in hindsight it's a win that doesn't look surprising even it has aged horribly.
i believe Wings deserve being remembered because it was groundbreaking, it also keep the interest despite being sometimes very slow paced but comparing from material of the same era it is really interesting
It doesn't register like click? Please fix it so we can appreciate you generosity.
This lady is a phillistine,doesn't like musicals.l have seen several thousands musicals made in three continents. Musicals are perfect entertainment like a opera, best music,best romantic stories,best set desigs,best costumes,what not to like,sorry lady,open up. ....Prof.Dr.Nasir Fazal gold medalist Cambridge USA Lyrics out of this word just like an opera.
The fight scenes mirrored the novel and manga per director Chieng, and there will be prequel and finale along with a tv series of Shin which the production team already submitted for some type of govt media financial aid.
The Nazis did not divert resources significantly, in fact mass murder was directly related to their economic goals (The Hunger Plan - Living Space). With murder came plunder of land, property and food. The SS held up death trains for hours or days to allow military and other traffic to pass. Passengers were charged train fares, either individually or via the Jewish Councils. The death camps, especially the Reinhardt camps were built by scrounging from local areas. I read the effort for the Nazis to carry out the final solution was as much as lifting a little finger. Having said that, the destruction of Jewish people was a core Nazi aim central to their military goals. Mass murder was both cheap and profitable.
I'd give it a b+. It was a fun ride, but to be an A it would need a little more story. I think Deadpool 2 remains the stronger offering because of that. However, it was hilarious and that's what I needed Deadpool movie to be.
Is this a review or a critique?
Don’t those two words mean the same thing?
A critique focuses on the writer's opinion and taste, while a review aims to share objective information
@@DeepDiveMovieReviews whining old fools just seems cant enjoy shit it is a damn comic movie no reason bitchin man too n deadpool is as comics 4th wall break....ya no ebert. for sure all try n be him on youtube!
@@jasonwilliams5046well that’s just incorrect. A review gives the personal opinion and interpretation of the critic. If it was purely objective it would be completely pointless and of use to nobody.
@@john79taxidriver20don’t get butthurt little dude coz we didn’t love the movie. This IP has been around way longer than any of us.
For me, it was really interesting to see a lot of short scenes for the first part, and then see the same scenes, but longer and with more detail... You get everything until the very end. The use of mirrors as a reflection of the characters and their struggles is awesome. It isn't a usual movie, but it was thrilling and the acting was very good and there were so many details to see. It's a movie to watch more than once.
After Sunset Boulevard première, Barbara Stanwyck knelt & kissed Gloria's dress hem. L.B. Mayer yelled that Billy Wilder should be run out of town! "F*ck off, Louie!" Billy replied.
Early word: Bette would march in, redo the script, and then direct the film. It didn't happen. Bette saw a perfect script that would resurrect her career, then "behaved herself" splendidly.
Ann Baxter did not play Moses's adoptive mother in "The Ten Commandments". That was Nina Foch. Baxter played the princess who eventually married the Pharo. PS: My favorite George Sanders line, which I use regularly: "I'm nobody's fool. Least of all, yours".
(Steve here) Indeed, I stand corrected. Anne Baxter was Moses love interest before she marries Pharoh (Yul Brynner)
Grave of the fireflies, made from Isao Takahata which is the second head of Studio Ghibli could be a nice recommandation for an other Ghibli films. It doesn't get as much fantastic set points as the other Miyazaki directed movies. I've always tought that this movie was intended to a more mature audience than the regular Miyazaki films. Hard to not be moved by the end of this picture.
10:46 -- Yes, the triangle is developed more fully in the book. It's also given more attention in the 1975 BBC miniseries, which is here on TH-cam; we do actually get to see what a lousy husband Iestyn is. In the 1941 film, we're left to assume the marriage was motivated by, first, Gruffydd's rejection of Angharad, and second, her decision to marry the rich young man in the hope of giving her family a leg up in the world. If I can't have the man I love, she figures, I may as well do this for my family. I do agree, however, that even this could have been a bit more explicit. I love this film, but I acknowledge it has flaws. Even if we leave William Randolph Hearst's determination to sabotage Orson Welles out of the picture, the triumph of HGWMV over Citizen Kane was a triumph of sentiment over cynicism. Modern audiences tend to favor cynicism; audiences in 1941 favored sentiment. (That might account for The Maltese Falcon's poor showing at the Oscars as well.) It wasn't until after World War II, and the full-on advent of film noir, that cynicism took firm hold of the cultural zeitgeist, although well-done sentimental films could still win Best Picture (e.g. The Best Years of Our Lives). I think we've come around to understanding that both sentiment and cynicism have value in storytelling, so perhaps it is time for a re-evaluation of HGWMV.
Thanks for recognizing that "Don't Look Up" is truly in the realm of great satire, worthy of comparison with such greats as Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn and Jonathan Swift's Tale of a Tub, A Modest Proposal, and Gulliver's Travels. I just watched this movie yesterday, more than two years after it was released. I find it even more telling now than had it been if I'd watched it earlier. What amazes me is that so few other critics seem to understood the power and depth of this movie.
Nothing on our news here in Ireland.... Brilliant Beautiful Actor . Loved Donald in Kelly's Heroes.... Body Snatchers...MASH.. . Guys You cant say Movies today are better than Years Ago....... Film Critics nowadays always apologising for WHO?...Not real Movie lovers .
What a great conversation and tribute! It reminded me of just how many Donald Sutherland films I've actually seen. Throughout the 1970s, my sister and I would spend every Sunday with our dad (after our parents split up) and part of that day would often include going to a movie. We would take turns picking a movie and among those I remember were Kelly's Heroes, MASH, Klute, Don't Look Now and Casanova. From the 80s and 90s, I also remember Ordinary People, A Dry White Season, Bethune, JFK and Six Degrees of Separation. As a Canadian, he is often recognized as having once been married to the actor Shirley Douglas (Kiefer's mum) who was the daughter of Tommy Douglas. Tommy Douglas was one of the founders of the CCF (Cooperative Commonwealth Federation) which later became the New Democratic Party. He sat as a member of parliament from 1935 and in the 60s became the Premier of Saskatchewan. His efforts led to Canada's universal health care system.
(Steve here) Thanks so much for your response. I think I can speak for James as well when I say it's comments like yours that fuels our commitment to the show here
Great movie from Hong Kong 🇭🇰
You're applying to logic to irrational people. To anyone else, it makes zero sense to divert so many resources into an extermination program while you're fighting a global war. To a Nazi, it makes perfect sense because to a Nazi, the Jew is the only enemy to fight in the first place. Remember, they were totally captured by absurd conspiracy theories of Jewish financiers and Communist rabble rousers. To a Nazi, the war itself is an extension of the Jew's existence- just another weapon he has in his arsenal to suppress Germany. What good does it do you to defeat enemies on the battlefield when the real enemy is still the Jewish puppet master pulling the strings remaining untouched? To a Nazi, you win the war by vanquishing the Jews, not the enemy combatants. Because the enemy is only there to defend the Jews, right? If you destroy the Jews, the enemies will evaporate. That's the Nazi reasoning.
No, the house staff Hedwig abused were Polish, and the woman Hoss had sex with in his office was a Polish prostitute. Remember how right before this scene Hoss was getting out and counting different types of currency? He was doing this to pay her. We know all of these women were Polish for three reasons: *•* They didn't have the mandatory stars of David sewn on their clothes *•* Sex with a Jewish person would result in his immediate firing and arrest. Any sort of inappropriate contact between SS officers and Jews violated the 1941 Race & Resettlement Act *•* It was even against the law for an SS man to permit a Jew inside his home altogether Remember, the grandmother even asked Hedwig as they were walking out to the garden together, "Jews in the house?" And Hedwig swiftly replied, "No, these are local girls. All the Jews stay on that side of the wall." The filmmakers included this for a reason. They had to illustrate the severity of consequences resettled German officers could face by mingling with Jews in the Eastern provinces.
A weak year for Best Picture nominees, but it's a strong enough film to have won Best Picture. However, the correct choice for Best Picture for this year would be 'The Third Man' which was not nominated.
The Lost Weekend isn't an Oscar worthy film, IMO. Of the nominated films, Mildred Pierce was significantly better. And 'Brief Encounter' not nominated, is significantly better than Mildred Pierce.
This film has a very strong vegan message. The hallmarks of the atrocities we commit against our fellow animals are everywhere. Our society is steeped in violence. We eat it. We wear it. We use it for "entertainment." It is our "solution" to problems that are, more often than not, of our own making. So why are we surprised when that violence bubbles up and boils over? Choose non-violence. Live vegan.
Let's not forget that Hitler was a vegetarian
@@DeepDiveMovieReviews Not sure how this is relevant. Do not conflate vegetarianism with being vegan. While Hitler apparently adopted a vegetarian diet towards the end of his life, it is unclear why. Could very well have been for health reasons since he had multiple medical conditions. To be clear, the definition of veganism, according to the Vegan Society, is it is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude - as far as is possible and practicable - all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose. Those who live according to these values often feel they're living in al universe parallel to that where most people turn a blind eye to the animal atrocity which is ubiquitous in society.
lol forgive my attempt at humour, but I was somewhat amused by your efforts to co-opt a film about the atrocities of the Holocaust to support a dietary lifestyle choice. It seemed, if you'll pardon the pun, in poor taste.
Vanilla sky is my favorite movie of all time. I tear up every time I watch it.
Best review of this brilliant film. Thanks.
Absolutely loved this review and loved this movie! I agree that Furiosa's story is done, but I think a cameo from her in the future would be cool as all get-out.
Great reference to In the Realm of the Senses. BTW the film came out in 1976.
Regarding the opening montage. Fury Road aleo has the same opening montage. As far as I remember its exactly the same. It certainly has the black and white trees getting exploded and news anchors voices, though I can't be sure they are identical. I would need to see them back to back.
Thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. All performances were solid. Action great. Just pure cinema bliss.
(Steve here) Agreed 👍
You accuse the movie of dragging while you drag on and on about how the movie was too long. Out at 7:27.
(Steve here). 7:27 is actually pretty good. Thanks for watching what you did 😏
This is by far the best discussion of the movie I have seen. You really felt about the movie the way I do and explained your thoughts very eloquently.
(Steve here) Thanks for those kind words and thanks for taking the time to watch. Much appreciated! 🙏
Mad Max without Max. Miss me with the woke Hollywood garbage
There always has to be one of you doesn't there? Someone who contributes nothing of value to conversation besides empty buzzwords because "ahh a women's the lead role"
Best HK Movie for last ten years!! Don't miss!!!!
This was the best Mad Max since Road Warrior. I say that because it had a plot and some story. More depth and character development. Last comment. Sorry for spamming the comments. 😅
(James here) Spam away - love the interaction! I definitely appreciated the abundance of story and character development this time out. Fury Road was an epic spectacle, but Miller couldn't have got away with that approach every time.
Anya crushed it. She made it her own and there was far far more to her character than Charlize's Furiosa. George wrote it differently, of course, but i think Anya's performance was amazing. Hemsy barely pulled it off, and it will stand the test of time. Great film.
Watched furiosa on IMAX and then shot home and watched Fury Road. It works as well as any other pair of films. Sensationally well done.
(Steve here) Agreed the natural flow between the two. Another reviewer said, "Furiosa is the inhale, Fury Road is the exhale". Perfect illustration
