Thanks for sharing your stories, as always!❤
I feel like this movie might hit me in a personal level as well, similarly to Toy Story 3 and that feeling of innocence.
I got that message from Luca. The scenes of total uncontrolled imagination really hit home with me, that was being a kid was all about. Total imagination.
Thanks for sharing, TEG. It's nice to know you're not the only one. Can't wait to read the book.
Waited to watch this video until after I saw the movie, and I loved that it. I suspected the twist because of the casting decision, but still appreciated it.
I didn’t have imaginary friends, but I was overly attached to my stuffed animals, and the old forgotten bear in the movie killed me. There were a bunch of families in the theater, and I’m sure I cried more than all the kids combined. My bear’s name was “Tacky Teddy,” which my sister gave him because he was rather homely. When I was maybe 7 or 8, my mom had the bright idea to give him to my grandmother to fix up, and I never saw him again. I think that’s why when my first blues jersey had to be sent off to be sewn up because the ironed on numbers came off in the wash, I started crying and my mom didn’t know what was going on with me. Still have the jersey, though. But Tacky Teddy is my Rosebud.
Hi, Shannon -- I can relate to a lot of your story. I also grew up with unhappily married parents and was kept up late with more than my fair share of drunken arguments. I wasn't an only child, but I might as well have been as there was a big age gap between me and my older siblings and I was often left to my own devices. I don't remember having imaginary friends, but I talked to myself a lot (still do, LOL) and got lost in tons of books. I definitely have a "life of the mind," or, as the famous literary heroine Anne Shirley put it, "scope of imagination." Thanks for sharing your story, and say "hi" to Yvonne.
I remember getting that feeling watching Louis Malle's Black Moon - you just feel like you're entering someone's dream world/inner self that it takes you over. It's done delicately enough to avoid any PTSD but if one is to criticise it - it's like watching a variation of Alice's Adventures. Still loved it, still loved how the dream logic was shown as abruptly and matter of fact and yet just equally more bizarrely surreal.
I remember I was around 6 or 7 when my sister walked in on me talking to someone in my closet. She asked who I was talking to and I remember feeling so torn like I shouldn't tell her but she pressed on so I told her, "Babych." After more grilling by her I never spoke with Babych again. I still remember that moment all these years later. I'll definitely have to check IF out.
Hi Shannon. Honestly I can relate. My parents were always fighting as well but for them it was always about money. It was so bad that when my Dad told my brother and I that they were getting a divorce we both just sort of nodded our heads and said ok because it was no surprise to us. Ever since the divorce my parents have only seen each other once which was during my son’s graduation from high school. I never actually had an imaginary friend but I do talk to myself a lot and have done so ever since I was a kid. The funny thing is at first I always try to hide it from others but if they do find out anyway something in my head clicks and says to me that’s awesome now I no longer have to hide it from them and I start doing it more often around them.
I admit I haven’t seen the movie but, from the trailers, it seems to have a similar concept to Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends.
Thank you for sharing, Shannon!
I haven't seen it, but it reminds me a lot of Inside Out from the trailer, and I loved that movie. Glad to see you're comfortable talking about this stuff. Much Love
As for the time period, I think they were intentionally vague. The girl’s hair and outfit to me were more inspired by the 70s, but the phone in the hospital room and the computer monitors looked more like they were from the last 10 years. And with the size of that camcorder, I would call that more late 90s at the earliest. Even the vehicles on the street were all over the place age wise. I probably paid too much attention to all that…
All the hugs man!
I can relate. I have had ADHD my whole life. So I have always had an overactive imagination.
I had imaginary friends growing up.
Great video!
Where did you get that Deadpool jersey?! That's AWESOME!
I hate when I'm watching a movie with someone at a theater, and I can tell that they're not into the movie as much as me lol
I never had an Imaginary Friend, But I had many times when I would make up long complex stories in my head about things such as what if I got selected to be one of the first people to go to mars, or what if I woke up tomorrow some number of years into my past but remembered everything, or what if I woke up in a room with every person I'd ever had romantic interest in or who had romantic intrest in me one morning and no one knew how we all got there but some being or person who made it happen was having us all sit down and eat a feast of our favorite foods.
I never had any skill at writing but I had skill at imagining stories in my brain like the one I wished I could make into a novel about a guy who lives in a Dystopian future he accidentally created when he created a tech that cured 99% of illness but in doing so gave a back door into everyone's body where people who went against the status quo could just be deactivated by those in power remotely.
So much of film criticism is about negativity. I’m sorry but hate is boring and easy. I’d much rather hear someone talk about something that is flawed but they love. Hearing about something that is someone’s passion is way more interesting to me.
You should go see Fall Guy next, super funny movie
I had no interest in IF untill now. Are you planning to Harold the purple crayon? Idk how old it is, so idk if you grew up with it.
Hello Shannon. As someone who has enjoyed your channel for years I will have to say I am surprised you have taken a liken to this film. From my perspective the film was long, drawn out and predictable. I seen the twist coming once I realized this film wasn't what I had expected. I thought it was about Ryan Reynolds failing to grow up and still holding on to his childhood. Once I realized that this was basically a sixth sense but for children. It got rather dull quickly. There wasn't enough laughs, the grandmother's character confused me. Plus the stranger danger and the creepy need the "friends" had with wanting kids was offsetting. Especially considering the actress who plays the main character is almost an adult and is much older than the character she plays. Overall the film flopped and missed the mark.
A child's imagination is a precious thing. They create safe spaces in their imaginary sphere, when they don't exist in their real world.
If you go into something looking for only negativity that's all you will get from it. People have lost touch with creativity.
Try using an AI to help you write, you can say out your ideas like you do your videos and it can transcribe it for you. It'll take time but not as much time.
You lost me at Doctor Who because the last few seasons have been awful.
The new season with Russell T Davies back at the helm has been very good. I didn't like the Jodie Whittaker run at all.
