@@AMatterofFilm I believe !!! 😉
Yes these videos are the best!
@@AMatterofFilm WHAT
@@AMatterofFilm i have been checking your channel every month for over a year and i am so happy to see you arent dead
I love when youtubers talk about mr robot there are only few people talk about it in this platform
That's one of the main reasons why we decided to talk about Mr. Robot. It's so good and more people should be talking about it. Thanks!
@@AMatterofFilm Exactly! 🤛🏻
The reason Mr. Robot eludes most is, not the story, but the overwhelming linux and programming references, and they are not there just as easter eggs, but as narrative clues, like the episode titles. If you know basic linux and know about networks and pentesting, the characters slip in lots of references in their dialog, hinting at the deeper symbolism in the episode. This is pretty deep however as it requires nerd level, like in this episode where a deamon service is a process often auto running at a lower level, which restarts by itself if killed but keeps doing is job without user knowledge, the way Elliot kepps getting the key in his dreams. Overall through the series it creates a parallel story of how Elliot is trying to hack himself and underlines how he is using similar attack vectors as he would to gain control of a server, like he is himself an encrypted HDD. This is obviously woosh to most audiences, which are left with a bunch of "strange" dialog which just makes the series unnecessary focussed on his symptoms. But Elliot truly treats the real world as it is a computer system, which is in conflict with his feelings of loneliness and direct human interaction. Can't wait for season 4 on 10/6.
Tore Lund didnt know anything about coding before watching the show. Instantly one of my all time favourite pieces of art.
@@Tore_Lund Dude. You pretty much guessed it. He was hacking himself
“What’s your monster?” takes on a whole new meaning after that last episode...
every single line in this show changes.. what an episode!!
I like how the Window incident has constantly evolved. Turning a darker shade of black everytime it gets talked about. Superb writing.
the key to his bedroom was present even in series 1! Just amazing!
I passed through the same stuff that the protagonist has. I don't know if the series made research on this or something, but until today I have problems connecting to people. I have problems socializing. I don't know why but since the beginning of the series I thought that he may have passed through what he passed. Anyway, I didn't create a "Mr robot" to me, but when you are a child and go through something like this, something inside you just breaks it is hard to describe. I could not watch the episode 7 without crying.
Taking into consideration Carl Jung's theory of the shadow, it's very interesting.
I love Mr Robot to bits and will be sad when it ends but the most underappreciated part of Mr Robot is the cinematography. Nobody *ever* talks about it. As good as the writing and acting are, the cinematography is on another level entirely.
th-cam.com/video/ON0gdQd4avU/w-d-xo.html. Tell Karsten I sent ya.
Oh good call thanks.
A lot of people talks about cinematography in Mr. Robot though.
ralph??
All videos I've seen talk about it?
With Season 4 episode 7's context, Elliot's state of mind makes much more sense
and with the finale...
Rewatching the series will make so much sense now.
One of my favorite portions of that episode, a certain thing would be happening from the perspective of the other characters in the room that I believe very rarely has ever been the case in this series, maybe indeed never before this. I'm referring of course to what instantly became Mr Robot's Gollum/Two Towers moment lol That when we see Gollum in the middle of that movie having an argument with his other repressed identity, it would be him of course just back and forth, but Peter Jackson staged that sequence visually to be almost like 2 distinct creatures engaging one another.
Well so, back to MR, and when Elliot sitting in the chair across from Krista and Mr Robot's first just trying to get out of the room, then begging Krista eye to eye to not openly talk about what she's about to. But so that if we could see that whole scene but from Krista's and/or Vera's eyes, it would boil down to seeing Elliot very manic in that chair as he states one thought as himself but then immediately on top of it he growls back out whatever reply "by Mr Robot" there was, one, constantly back and forth, right on top of each other, often overlapping, rinse repeat. It mighta been like watching Elliot doing a ventriloquism act but without the actual dummy.
That episode i almost cried
Certainly one of the best pieces of movie picture i've ever seen. Plot, photography, acting.
About the "Hello friend" intro, it's a permutation of the well known "Hello world" test programmers usually conduct to see if things are running for the first time. He changed world to friend because he doesn't like the world / society, just his friends ... Or friend
Awesome... didn't relate it that much to it! System.out.print("Hello Friend");
@@AMatterofFilm nice code 😎
He created an imaginary friend and referred to us in his state of mind
The scene where darlene and angela find him in the graveyard during one of his psychotic episodes gets me every time :(
Nothing gets me as much as the scene with his psychiatrist and Vera when it was revealed why Mr Robot was created
Went into the show expecting badass hacker vs corporations story, came out Sigmund Freud'd.
lol!
That’s why I personally disliked it. I’m not really interested in very poor mental health compared to a fun, cool hacker story against the machine.
@@KaneK1234 To each his own my dude
@@KaneK1234 I mean the hacker shit is still very much there
Lol.Right
I hate how people got turned off by this show due to Sam Esmail wearing his influences on his sleeve yet celebrate Stranger Things due to its aesthetics. This and Ash vs Evil Dead is probably my top two most favorite shows of all time they both blend style with storytelling not quite like any other and the direction is always on point
Sam Esmail is a genius. I love the scenes where he can just tell a story without any dialogue but only through specific shots. A bit Vince Gilligan-like
Very true. The most blatant ones would be Fincher and Lynch, but who doesn't want more of that?
Yeah it's not like hes copying them, hes taking what they have and using it to make his work better
me: IT’S 27 MINUTES LONG???!!!
also me: it’s already over???!!!
Mr Robot is one of the greatest TV shows ever. I can't even pick a favourite episode. Spectacular editing on the video. I am gonna subscribe.
Yes! And I would add that it's the best show on TV right now. Thank you and welcome to the channel :)
The steel mtn episodes always stuck with me. First time seeing Elliot unload on that dude giving him the tour. Saying how when he dies everybody at his funeral are gonna leave as soon as they get the chance because they don't give a fuck and felt obligated to go. That one always stuck with me forsure
I'm not such a fan of TH-cam, I think that's why just today I found this great video. Of course I'm also subscribed!
I really loved the episode where Elliot has to take a kid, Trenton's brother, to the movies and communicate with him. After a day with that boy when Elliot started crying while the boy wasn't around, i really got that. He was the only person he could really communicate to after a long time. At the end of the episode i wanted to hug my loved ones. It is completely based on human connections and i love that. But i also feel the need to tell that, that episode was very similar to Bojack Horseman's "Fish Out Of Water" episode lol.
I love how the finale completely changes that withdrawal episode. Everything about it has changed
Holy crap. This video lacked the knowlededge of important Season 4 revelations, yet it managed to perfectly sum up the thematic goal of the show these revelations soldified. Hats off to the author!
Spot on, couldn't have said it better myself. Hence, a final analysis of the show needs to be done. I just finished season 4 last night and my God, it was the most incredible piece of television brilliance I have ever seen, second only to Breaking Bad.
@@JoeTurok I been thinking this is the next breaking bad as far as masterpieces go.
NO spoilers but... after watching season 4 so far, the words you used in this video have gained a lot more weight.
This video already a big spoiler for whole show 😂
@@chhavimanichoubey9437 Well, if you're watching a video essay on a movie its obvious you're going to get spoilers... I don't watch video essays about movies or series I haven't seen because of it.
I spent all of 2018 isolated in the weirdest turn of events after a very traumatic 2017. I am no hacker, but I feed the homeless and am able to empathize with people’s suffering. This show helped me to see some walls I had to break through.
Javier Flores I’ve been in a similar boat
We’re in this together friend
"I am no hacker, but I feed the homeless"
Great album title.
@@callmeej8399 now we all are in it.
Finally somebody who points out the brilliance of this show! Rami Malek is hands down on of the best actors of our current time and Elliot is his top performance. He basically IS Elliot
If he is Elliot, then he isn’t acting at all and therefore not a good actor.
@@tsfbaf303 i think he meant to say he plays elliot so well that he became him
Now, ironically, I absolutely adored this show from the very beginning and was just thunderstruck by what Malek was doing, and even though I make no bones about thinking all awards concepts are just kinda silly and stupid, I definitely had a nice big smile on my face when I heard Rami snagged himself a big ole' Emmy first time out.
But.
Well I feel pretty much just as strongly that Rami was significantly miscast as Freddie Mercury from the beginning, did not particularly feel a whole lot out of his performance to connect me to (especially given then we're gonna start talking about him landing mister Oscar for that?), and believe me I've never taken any pleasure in stating that Bohemian Rhapsody as the movie itself I found quite mediocre. I was sort of stunned when I first heard that got a Best Pic nod.
I mean, yeah I get it, the ship of Sasha Baron Cohen had sailed, that idea was so long gone it's like it'd never popped up to begin with. Chasing that was a fools errand. But Rami Malek has a VERY distinct look, and which no is not a sly way to try and say he's not good looking, no, he can still turn plenty heads easily enough. And it was just too far away from Freddie, for the overall package. Who would've been the perfect choice? I'm not at all sure. Yes I'm sorry I do not bring along with my constructive criticism here the "clear answer", as it were. I don't know, I've since in the time the movie came out heard someone reference Patrick Wilson? That could be worth a try.
“Hello Friend ...”
Thank you for posting this! Mr Robot is one of the greatest TV shows ever!
Thanks for watching, man! It was great fun making this :)
Having DID myself, this show is the best representation of it I have ever seen in media.
Not stigmatizing, and accurately showing some of the fears and troubles we go through with this disorder. It even made me have breakthroughs mentally speaking.
Sure it was hard as hell to watch, as it made me relive some deep traumas, but it made me think about mysel-ves in a totally other light and that helped us a lot.
Of course it's romanticized and Eliot has a lot more trouble than just DID, but it's also the case for the most part of us having it.
That's my favorite show ever. ❤
What I find incredible about the show and all art for that matter, is that the reflection it causes within one is truly inspiring in the sense that having DID as you point out, existencial issues or interest in improvement will definitely get you through whatever you need to go beyond.
I feel you, it's great to see that you found a way to process this trauma. Remember that everything is for the betterment.
The camera angles used to showcase Elliot's anxiety & alienation when talking to people is fucking brilliant.
9:38 When he said "repressed memories" and there's a shot of him with his father... damn, that has a completely new meaning after 407...
This show is so rewatchable. Sam Esmail thought everything from the beginning. What a masterpiece. So underrated that it hurts
I was obsessed since day one. What people don’t want to admit is that everyone is Elliot, to some degree. It’s the human condition. It’s the product of our society today. I’ve suffered with mental illness all my life. Elliot became my friend because he understood me. When he says “All I wanted to do is save the world”, it scared the shit out of me. Was he reading my mind? I don’t believe in happily ever after, but I sure hope that in this final season...Elliot gets his.
I know life happens but hopefully one day you can come back. Would love to hear your take and final thoughts on how Mr Robot wrapped up with all its revelations and turns. This was put together beautifully and I truly believe you could do it justice.
He is probably the most relatable character to me...sad right
Kinda. Just dont be a simp.
yeah.. this hit closer to home than i was expecting. that last bit of narration about having to know what you want out of your future in order to have a true desire to even keep going day after day.. damn. it at least gave me a desire to start Mr Robot and make that my short term future.
Same, sad but true
Same
same
I can rewatch this show over and over because it's so densely layered, I love watching on Bluray especially because I don't have to look at that USA logo which basically is against everything the show stands for.
Those logos are so annoying
This guy literally dropped one of the best video essays of all time based upon my favourite show then dipped for two years
Sam Esmail is a pure genius!
I literally cried at the end of this video because it's the first time I saw someone talking about mr.robot on youtube. I can't tell how much I love this TV show. Mr robot is so great in all its multiple layers that concern all of us in a certain way. On the one hand the need to fit into something, to be connected to other people and on the other hand rejecting all of this and feeling isolated and lonely and fighting our own minds. We all have our demons right? And there are soooo much more topics and layers that makes Mr. Robot one or even the best TV show of all time. Therefore, thank you for this video❤❤ You did really great work to give us a better view on the many deep topics dealed with in mr.robot. I hope more people are going to watsch this video and start watching mr.robot, so mr. robot finally receives the attention it deserves.
I feel like I'm gonna cry again and then I'm gonna subscribe just for the hard work you put in this video. Thank you❤
Ralphthemoviemaker made an excellent vid on Mr robot, I highly suggest viewing it
TH-cam needs alot more Mr. Robot videos. Thanks for making this! Can't wait for season 4!
I need a new video talking about the conclusion of the show. This was amazing.
You made many overnights at work for me not only bearable, but actually somewhat ethereal in those frozen silent nights. Do come back if you are able, I delight in your analysis
"Letting people in doesn’t have to hurt..." - quote from S04.
I would argue that Sheila is important. Her death is never mentioned afterwards, she is never reminded.
Mr Robot has been an eye opening series for me, and I really, really love it. It has so much deeper meaning than it is on the surface, meaning even after the 100th time you watch the seasons through, you'll uncover something each time. Thanks for this video! The editing, production and the voice over is fantastic, and I'm 100% subscribing. Thank you for this
Yeah! There's a lot to find rewatching it :) thanks a lot, welcome to the Channel!
Definitely the most underrated show out there right along with Into the Badlands. These two shows should be talked about way more
The best show of all time for me
For me, Mr Robot is, let's say, at the top of the Everest mountain. A thousand meters below is Breaking Bad, and 100 meters below are Twin Peaks, Black Mirror and The End of the fucking World.
Dude just dropped one of the best analysis on youtube and vanishes. You ok my guy?
hope you're doing good, but please come back we need more!
You had me at " Hello friend"
This was the best Mr.Robot video on youtube i've seen yet! Congrats!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
This and Ralph the movie Maker 😁
Wow, a video about my favorite show by my favorite TH-cam channel. Great mix
Thank you so much!
Thanos, you sentimental bastard... no finger snappin' around MR. ROBOT, please ;)
That's some top-notch editing. Well done!
Thank you!
You know, maybe I should never lie to myself. Maybe that's a good path towards madness and self-destruction.
Truly fantastic analysis of the show, the layers, and its characters. Glad that Rami Malek’s recent superstardom brought me to discover this TV series (not shown in my local TV channels). Rami & Sam Esmail are genius in their fields. Thank you for this!
Great analysis! I hope season 4 lives up to the first 3. Also I need the music you used for this, it was the perfect selection.
Hero323 its a mix of fight club, requiem for a dream and mr robot.
Here while there is no dislikes which there shouldn't be. Very good analysis
Thank you very much!
I really think the few comments that are negative are from ppl who quit sometime in the middle of s2 or just see the 99% of ppl liking it and have to be different. And the usual percentage of trolls
Yet to watch the video, but I just wanted to join the other comments in saying that Mr. Robot is a true contender for best TV show of all time (if Esmail manages to let it end in a compelling way). I hope Rami Malek's Academy Award draws some more attention to the series. I'm glad there's not a huge following yet that could've motivated the inclusion of any fan service (I also think the few jabs at Trump were bad choices, not because Trump isn't bad, but because they made the scenes less timeless), but I really want to see all the people involved with this show get the credit they deserve.
And he sure did. Greatest TV show of all time.
I'm forgetting anything about trump, could you remind me?
@@ertpecsertpecs trump was one of the people at the Deus party. It was a funny jab I thought
@@ertpecsertpecs The one that jumps to mind is there's a scene where white rose is telling that frank cody guy some stuff he should say and trump comes on TV and cody's like "really? that guy's an idiot" and i forget what the line is exactly but white rose basically says that the deus group got him the presidency
13:33, oof after finishing the show, that part with the key really hits hard
Nice touch adding a version of "Green Day - Basket Case" at 22:35. Great Video analysis all around.
They do it on the show.
And where is my mind by the pixies
God, this was an amazing video!
Mr. Robot, Breaking Bad and The Sopranos are by far my favorite shows and now I can't wait for The Sopranos video.
I hope you blow up on youtube, this content deserves infinitely more views.
This is probably the best analysis on mr robot i have ever seen, Loved the video, Keep it up man.
Great work here, well done! I just shared this to our geeky lil Mr. Robot fan page so you should be getting even more views soon! Subbed.
Appreciate it, man! Glad you liked the video.
i think this video essay is due for a remake after the Amazing final season.
Hey why did you stop uploading! Miss these essays!
It's cool to come back and watch videos like this that were made before the ending knowing that in that he was in fact the mastermind but him being the "key" still made sense.
I'm going to share this everywhere. Loved it, great insight into my favourite show ever.
Thank you!
I just watched Mr. Robot for a couple episodes of the first season, and my brain is burnt. Programming terms, hacking, drugs, and crimes alone are difficult to process; Yet the director won’t stop and almost broke my mind only to think is Mr. Robot is his real dad, his DID & anxiety made it even worse. I’m afraid that everyone on this movie are fake and only happen in Elliot’s mind and he’s the only one who did everything.
This was really awesome man I really enjoyed this video. A spot on in depth analysis of the series.
Thanks a lot Micah! We enjoyed making it for you :)
Amazing show. Glad u talked about it
It’s important to revisit this morphine dream before we go into the finale
The editing skills are strong on this one
Love this show. Never missed 1 episode they aired. 1st time i ever did that.
Loved the use of "Love on a Real Train", perfect explaining music..
The script and the delivery was absolutely stunning!
Not to mention the great editing that punctuated every point either you or the show wanted to make!
“A future that’s not so lonely. A world I’ve always wanted... I would like very much to fight for it” Damn that got me tearing up a little
chills, man. thank you so much for making this
Love the use of Basket Case at the end. First time hearing it in Mr. Robot while see Elliot's dream was beautiful.
Hope you are okay and doing well. Please come back and create more great videos like the George Melies one. All the best to you!
Who's watching this after the series finale?
Love this channel! Every vid is interesting. That can't be said about most other channels like this.
this video; the editing is amazing. you didn't need to try so hard but you did and it works well with this look into Elliot's mind.
Thank you!
@@AMatterofFilm I subscribed because it was so amazing; keep it up :)
It’s been 2 years I hope all is well with you and u r in good health:)
By the way this is your best video so far. I love Mr Robot, but your work on this video really elevates such a brilliant and unique show.
Amazing video man. Great stuff. Glad that it was in my recommended!
Glad to see it popped up in your recommended! Thank you for commenting :)
Been looking for a good talk about this show ever since I fell in love with it earlier this year and crushed it in 2 weeks. Great work! I look forward to more content.
For me, Mr. Robot is the very best series and your video has just become my very favorite video on TH-cam because you really understand the series very well and the quality of your videos is also very good.
Thank you very much! Glad you enyoyed it.
Good video, superb editing style in regards to the subject
Thanks man, we really enjoyed making it.
Great work! Your editing is quite remarkable and your analysis became increasingly profound as it went on.
Hey thanks :)
i was studying psychology and absolutly loved this tv show, yet i didn't see or connect a lot of the dots presented in this video
Bravo sam esmail, bravo you wonderful bastard
Mr Robot is exactly a portrayal of my own life.
Yes, Im on Kali with a live USB with persistence.
Fantastic analysis (and editing)! Favourite show on TV, probably ever. Have never seen anxiety and introversion portrayed so well anywhere else. All I hope is for season 4 to bring it home and not pull a Lost.
Post more videos!
15:38 to 15:53 is actually a great point considering this video was made before the release of Season 4
Thank you for this. I just saw Mr. Robot from start to finish and have been blown away by, everything.
I’m really going to miss this show when it ends, but I’m so thankful for the journey it’s given us.
I would be remiss without saying that this is probably the best Mr. Robot explanation/breakdown videos I have ever seen! 🙌🏼
This video makes me love Mr.Robot even more ! I cannot even imagine how long does it take you to do this Editing.
Omg, the video and editing are amazing. Good job, man
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it
Please man come back, we all miss you!!!!
I just found your channel and I love it. Your examinations and interpretations of movies are very enjoying to watch. It feels like you wrote an essay and made it interesting somehow. I wish I could just do movie review essays for my English class. Hope you post more videos in the near future✌.
great in depth analysis and amazing editing. looking forward to the next upload!
Thank you very much, really appreciated!
The Cinematography is on another level!! I haven’t seen cinematography this amazing since David Finchers: Seven.
hope you guys come back soon. Your videos are inspiring, I've been a fan of your channel since the drive and blade runner analyst you guys did.
Thank you for making the best video about my favourite show.
"Has our connected world disconnected us from reality?" damn that hiTs hard
yess!! i love mr robot and this channel so much thank you for this video i throughly enjoyed it 💗
Much love! Glad you enjoyed the video :) we loved making it.

Thank you! Hopefully, it reaches more people this week :)
Hey, are guys going to make anymore videos? You guys are probable one if my favorite creators and just hoping all is well.

Amazing video and great production, perfect audio/speech too. You just got a subscriber for life :)
Video deserves more views. I'v seen only a handful of videos talk about this side of Mr.Robot.
Thank very much, really appreciated! Btw, great name, I love Tomatos. ❤️
Have a great day!
I love this, it need to talked about and explained more frequently like you are doing, thanks for sharing this, this is the world we live in.
Absolutely cracking video, really well put together, thanks for posting.
