The scene where he tries to get on the chopper was so tense, especially the fact that it was not CG and that's not a stunt double. Gotta give it Tom Cruise
@@lederp42 And that scene when Tom jumped from one roof to another, I think in one cut he broke his ankle/foot as his right foot hit the wall of the target building
But it was a biiiiiiiiiig spoiler. You know before the film even airs that the Moustached Superman is a bad guy. It is always the moustache that makes people evil. Seriously. SHAVE, PEOPLE!
Im a huge DC fan that felt let down by Justice League, BUT...I said to myself that if Mission Impossible Fallout was great and Henry Cavill hit it out of the park with his role I'll feel it wasn't all for nothing.
@@ItsDylanMegaw I agree with you but Justice League was very horrible. The CGI stach just added more wood to the fire. Therefore it was just irrelevant, especially since the reason for it was this masterpiece of a movie.

Kevin Spacey yeah whenever I do a Mission Impossible watch-through I always start on 3 because the first 2 are so boring to me. The second one is one of the only movies I have ever fallen asleep during, and usually that’s because I’m tired. It was 5 pm when I watched that movie. And then the 3rd movie has like the most intense opening ever😂.
@@sirjoey3137 I stopped watching Trailers all together. I watch movies when the premise seems interesting, I know some of the actors/directors/etc. Or a reliable source suggests it for me.
Did you watch the video? He mentions that the audience is anticipating that Cavill’s character is bad, so instead of making the twist the reveal that he is John Lark, he makes the twist of how IMF tricks him into revealing his identity. Watch that scene. The reveal of who he is is so casual that it is clear McQuarrie is not thinking he surprised anyone. The twist is when Lark realizes that he has been deceived into revealing his identity to the authorities. That’s a clever move by a smart writer.
You want another thing that make the mask twist even more brillant ? If you watch the last 3 Mission Impossibles... their is a secret Running Gag with Benji who REALLY want to put a mask. In Ghost Protocol, he's so exciting by the idea of using a Mask when they talk about it when they made up their plan in Dubaie... but the mask machine dosen't work, so he missed that one. And in Rogue Nation, he again planed to use a Mask to infiltrate the CIA base, but here's too, he dosen't get it. So it's make it even more satisfying to see him finally puting a mask.
I don’t really hear anyone mentioning the sky diving scene, personally that was my favourite scene in the entire movie, because of the great cinematography, tension , and apparent realism.
The cute French cop lady is a reference to the cute MI trainee in the record shop who Lane murdered in the opening of RN. Back then, Lane wanted to remind Ethan of how Lindsey died in MI3 and make it personal. Except this time Ethan can actually save the cute, innocent girl. It's like poetry, it rhymes.
Forgive me for being a possible idiot, but what does RN stand for. I haven't watched a M.I. film since the fifth one, and I usually never view franchises in order.
Interesting that you brought up the early 'hospital' scene as a great twist. That scene is probably the most traditional Mission Impossible setup since the original series (where they used to do this regularly).
Yea, and it's nice that Fallout used the classic trick. Not only presented it as a nice (mini)twist, it threw us back into the nostalgia of classic MI.
What I liked is how this twist was also used by the bad guys in London as a rhyme: First the CIA who does it in reverse: switching of the lights and catching everyone by surprise, and then Walker who echoes Ethan Hunt with: "Go!" and some of the CIA gunmen turn out to be his henchmen.
The nicer part of this is the fact that it was Tom who does most of his own stunts, which allowed for authentic facial expression capturing. Which further added great values to the experience.
Great analysis. What I found great about the movie myself is how imperfect the action scenes were. There was always something going wrong both for Ethan and for the bad guys. Motors not starting, gun empty, miscommunication between Ethan and Benji, the chaotic fight in the bathroom, missing the cargo dump on the helicopter. It upped the tension and made it all more relatable as we'd all stumble our way through such things. my favorite one is probably Ethan climbing into the helicopter and then be like "Okaaaay.... how the fuck does this thing work?"
You stumble your way through a lot of car chases, gun fights, and brawls in public restrooms, do you? XD I totally agree though. The purposeful imperfections and setbacks made it more realistic, more tense, but also more comedic to watch.
What I found great was visual Every frame was epic cool or badass and gorgeous And many stunts and camera work made go How did they do that?! Like can you really produce a scene like this!?
The scene where cruise chases cavil, jumping rooftops, out of buildings, signature running. Catches up to him, has him in his eyesight, enters the building, jumps and catches the bottom of the elevator. Looks up and cavil is looking straight into him. Loved that
I thought that was great. She was doing her very best to appeal to him in what she thought was the most effective way she could at that time. She was desperate; she was about to die. Begging with her eyes would be the "correct" move. And it paid off for her.
The cop scene literally made me say "YES!" out loud and raise my fist when Ethan decides to save her. Truly a perfect scene in a modern-day masterpiece. You'd genuinely have to be wearing blinders, IMO, if you were to think that this film wasn't something special. It's shockingly phenomenal in every way. And that damn helicopter chase at the end... just wow. I really wish I caught this movie in IMAX because that helicopter chase alone would have made it worth the price of admission. I'm kinda hoping this gets some Oscar love come awards season because, if Mad Max: Fury Road was anything to go by, this is a shoe-in for a ton of big categories.
I think it's hard to overlook the fact that it was completely expected, at least for me, that he would save the cop. To me, that scene lacked unpredictability at the end. As soon as I saw her when the doors opened, I knew she was both in trouble and that Ethan wouldn't kill her or let her die. So while the bad guys showing up and shooting her was an unexpected twist, the scene played out in a predictable way IMO.
It was amazing in Imax , only had two major scenes, first where ethan and walker jump out the jumbo plane and then the entire helicter chase and cliffside battle. Down here we have a 70mm Imax screen , it was originally for the movie Alamo and Imax documentarys but its becoming more commercial . Next up is Aquaman
@JamRock Bless Your NPC profile pic is perfect, you're too dumb to understand the contrivances throughout the movie, too deaf to know why it's called Fallout (literally explained in the movie), and your expectations of what the movie SHOULD be ruined your experience of what the movie actually was. Give yourself some credit next time, and don't let your false predictions ruin the next great movie you see.
Personally I thought the climactic shot was the absolute best part of the movie, the one right after everyone cuts the wires and as Ethan pulls the defuser pin. It's a fantastic twist because the choice to cut to a white screen could mean failure or success in equal measure. They could do a cliche fade-in to a hospital ward, as they do shortly afterwards, to signify success, or it could pan out to show the nuclear explosion taking shape after the initial "flash," signifying failure. This is the first split path we come to; the white screen. The shot after this is even better, in that it doesn't resolve the mystery at all. We don't see a hospital ward or anything signifying success; in fact, it looks a hell of a lot like the flash from a nuclear explosion. The brightness dims a bit as the shot fully emerges, but we can't really be sure if the explosion has gone off as it's so brief. This is the second split path; the bright light. Finally, the shot after this is of Ethan hanging on the cliff. We're still not entirely sure whether or not he's succeeded, whether or not the bomb has gone off. His expression, as a matter of fact, is almost despondent, like he's failed, but we see it from far away so we can't be sure. We still don't know. We've come to a third split path. Then, the payoff. He spits out the firing pin (a genius detail, as he wouldn't have been able to pull it out with one hand and he couldn't use his other hand as he was hanging onto the cliff using it) and drops the defuser, and we know that he made it in time. We see Benji and Ilsa safe and not disintegrated shortly afterwards, to clear up any lingering confusion, as well as the bombs ejecting their unspent plutonium. An absolutely fantastic climax, and even more impressive is the fact that all of the above happens in the span of ten seconds.
@@alexnetro1720 yeah me too. I think we have to be thankful for modern gritty holywood movies nowadays. Cus if this was made in 2000s for example, i am not sure i will buy the idea that he have failed. Cus heroes will always win.
I agree, that scene was INCREDIBLE. I was so shocked and amazed for those few seconds that Ethan might have actually failed. To imply for those few seconds that Ethan's choice in the beginning of the film to save Luther had led to the deaths of everyone he cared about and countless others was absolutely brutal. That was one of the few movie scenes that has left me breathless.
@@shelbyh7773 yeah that was another thing. the parallel in the beginning was really important. you were right. without it, that final scene would be way worse. i am really surprised with this mission impossible. seems like another action movie before i watched it. after i watched it was something else, it was so good. it was a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one
I read somewhere that there is a metric for his movies along the lines of how far he runs determining the success of the movie. So far it has worked out. I dont think its that simple but still fun.
I loved this scene. I also like how the antagonist is named "Walker" and never runs in the entire movie. He is the opposite to Ethan who is always running.
My favorite scene was the moment when you thought the bomb went off. Hunt was hanging from the cliff, and when I watched the movie in the cinema, I saw a game of lights, fading from a very bright white to normal, as I was standing in disbelief thinking all his friends died. I was so shocked, for those few seconds that the scene went on until the sky cleared, and the mushroom cloud wasn't visible. I thought something must be wrong. Then I realized I was tricked by one of the best scene lightning tricks I have ever seen. I enjoyed the whole movie, but that scene made a huge impression on me and the movie became one of my favorite movies of all time
The French cop scene was also amazing because it subverted the expectation that Hunt would be forced to follow through with killing an officer, as he was in the mental breakdown preceding the extraction. By providing an alternative structure prior to the extraction the director was able to disrupt expectation during the ramming scene, extend tension via the motorcycle not starting scene, provide faux relief during the scene where Hunt is in the boat with team, reignite tension during the officer and gang shooting scene, provide expectation fulfilled through gangster killing officer scene which would provide a break in character regarding lived/followed through values for Hunt; however, Hunt "chose" to risk the end result to fulfill his established values and succeed in preserving the cop and his cover. I liked this scene so much it sparked my first TH-cam comment ever :)
That's the exact opposite. We know what will happened because it's an hollywood(ian) movie, and because its Tom Cruise. It make this scene very artificial and lame because it creates a fake emotionnal build up. The worst is actually the intention, because it's directed like there is really different possible endings when even a 14 years old know there is not (unlike hollywood TV drama where moral choices can really leed to different path) Choices, especially moral ones, doesn't work in hollywood cinema. On the contrary, the emotion rises when there is an absence of choices, when things seems unavoidable. The best exemple is the ending of Toy Story 3. Is works because Pixar is so talented but also because it seems that there is no escape. They're advancing in one direction in a corridor (literally). No choice possible, they have to subish fate. And that's the most emotionnal scene in hollywood action history in a very long time.
That hospital scene is the most traditional M:I scene in the movies in eons, and I say that as a good thing. It is a great callback to the series and, for as much as I love the first movie (still think it is the best one) this scene is the best representative of what the original M:I was.
What I really love about that French cop scene is that the camera and the facial expressions and body language of the cast tells you everything about what they're thinking and what is possibly about to unfold. Then unexpected shifts occur and that body language shows their surprise, then you watch them try to figure out what move to make. It tells us a lot about the characters without them saying anything. For instance, we knew that if the scene had gone on without any interruptions, Cavill's character would have tried to kill the cop. But we also know that Hunt was willing to kill to stop the cop from being murdered, so we can assume the two main characters would have found themselves at odds, thereby foreshadowing later scenes in the movie. It's a shame that MI:Fallout carries the stigma of being the 6th movie in a long series of blockbusters of varying quality. I find myself shying away from telling people that I think it's the best movie I've seen this year.
I was actually expecting you to pick "scene C" since you were so blown away by the stage reveal, but you impressed me! 100% agreed. The moment I saw "scene A" in the theater, I knew it was a perfect scene. The emotional response to it was so strong; I look forward to it every time I rewatch Fallout.
i imagine if Tom Cruise ever took the role of Spiderman, he would want all the stunts by himself, as in he would want to swing from building to building in real life while filming the action scenes. and this brings me joy
It's just... awesome. I was so nervous for Hunt for almost the whole duration of the film. Just when I thought I watched the most nerve-wrecking scene in the film, an even more heart-wrenching scene would apper. It really is one of the best films ever, if not THE best
0:25 they actually had the poster for their movie openly advertise Henry Cavill's mustache with the parachute? it's ALMOST like they're blatantly laughing and pointing at the makers of _Justice League,_ here. almost.
It's even funnier when you know that they practically forced Warner to digitally remove his mustache, while Warner themselves wanted Paramount to digitally ADD the mustache.
@@bustanut5501 lmao no. Removing a moustache as big as henries means you have to recreate his upper lip with cgi, which is one of the hardest body parts to recreate lol.
This is about as near perfect of an action movie as there is. And I agree 100% it's the best since T2. These types of movies are rare to say the least, but when they come, they should be celebrated like you have done with this movie. Well done!
Each action scene is a masterclass in suspense. When they had that line about oxygen when they jumped out the plane I was like; “huh what a random detail,” then it comes into play and I’m like damn that was perfect
This is fantastic, because the first time I watched MI Fallout, that one scene with the French cop was the only scene that really stood out to me. Hats off to you sir.
I almost forgot about watching this movie because i couldn't find the right time for it. I saw this video and thought, you know what? I'm gonna watch it, so i watched it today finally. And boy oh boy was i in for a treat. I especially loved the scene where Ethan is running after Walker, that "I'M JUMPING OUT A BUILDING" had me laughing like crazy. Just all around an amazing film to watch. This is one of the few franchises that i own the entire blu-ray collection of. Edit: Gotta give Tom for the dedication he shows in his films. No CGI, no stunt doubles, just him doing the best he can do, and boy is he good at it. Also no shaky cam, that's always appreciated.
@@goodial Of course lol. He's talking about Tom's dedication. He would have skydive in Paris or anywhere but there is a limit in all countries. The fact that he did it without CGI is amazingly enough.
Radioactive Powerhouse that’s exactly what I thought. I thought it would’ve made the film even better than it already was being left on a low note. Maybe not let him lose everyone but have half of his crew get destroyed and half be somewhere else in the world like doing some kind of tech stuff in another city. The movie was still beyond good though.
The typical problem with having so many different groups in a story is that writers typically have a hard time keeping it all cohesive or finding an organic way for them all to conflict. The great thing about MI:Fallout is the fact that the story is so convoluted with so many different players in the game yet they were able to weave a story and action around all of this that actually makes sense. Fallout was a very rare treat, one of the best action movies of all time. Terminator 2 will always be my number 1, but this movie is one of the first to come close to it.
Very late but yes. His jump between the rooftoops, the take in the movie, is the take when he broke his ankle. When Cruise gets up on the second rooftop and limps past camera, his ankle was broken.
Brilliant movie. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Loved the twist at the beginning and I think that scene hearkens back to the premise of the original series. It's all slight of hand. I also agree with you about the cop rescue scene being the best written. It reveals that Ethan is not only an active protagonist, but an emotional one. And it reiterates Ethan's moral boundaries. I think the one character that wasn't needed in the whole thing was Alec Baldwin. We didn't need him to show up and verbally extrapolate Ethan's moral boundaries. I also agree with Theman Joe below. The mustache was totally worth it.
Another good scene that follows most of these tropes is Hunts persuit of Walker. a) it has a metaphorical time bomb in that Hunt has to catch Walker in order to essentially "stop his plan" (simplified beyond belief) which already builds a good amount of tension. b) when the twist is revealed that Walker essentially controls Julias life (again stupidly oversimplifed) it shocks the viewer and then adds their own thought on to the upcoming, c) choice. Hunt now has to choose between pursuing Walker and or saving Julia, and ultimately he does further pursue him but he gets away which even further adds to stakes at hand and the metaphorical/literal time bomb (even though Julia lives regardless). This whole scene is also showing Hunt`s activeness in which (literally) he just runs and the audience soaks up very minuite of it and (probaubly) doesnt get bored.
After finishing the movie, I felt this was my second favorite entry in the series, behind MI-3. But upon further examination, I think this one has taken the lead. It was a brilliant film, period.
The scene where Ethan met Julia in the final act is also a great twist. Not to mention it was under pressure. And she actually decided to help Luther to dismantle the bomb instead of doing nothing, which is for me, the best decision by the writer.
TBH, the hospital scene wasn't a shock at all if you've ever watched a single episode of the original TV series. The TV series had this type of twist in almost every episode. This was one scene where I knew exactly what was going to happen, even to the walls dropping. I liked the scene regardless as I considered it an homage to the original source. MI: Fallout had several such nods to the original TV series, more than any other film in the franchise I think.
I could tell about half way through because it was way too similar to the scene from the first movie, still really enjoyed the scene because of how well crafted it was though
Haven't seen the original TV series, but I still expected it to happen, since usually Ethan and his team are much more on top of things than it appeared in that scene, even when they are improvising they have more control over a situation than they appeared to have during this scene, which makes it pretty clear that it was all just a ploy to make hime confess.
It seemed fishy from the start but I was 100% sure it was faked when Ethan and Luther started playing "good cop, bad cop". Ethan's not the type to get angry like that and let go of his emotions, EVEN if those bombs went off. The only thing I was wrong about is I thought they got Wolf Blitzer (as in, the real one in the film universe) to help them (they are a government agency after all), then Benji pulled off the Blitzer mask and I was like "oh yeah they have those masks.." ...but wait, that still means they had to scan Blitzer's face to be able to produce a mask.. hm.
I haven't seen the TV series, or if I had, I don't remember them at all. As viewer who's really only seen the other MI movies, it was still pretty obvious that scene was a set up. The movies haven't led me to believe that they would make one where Hunt has to face a scenario/consequences where he's failed to THAT extent. I would definitely have been more surprised if that news report turned out to be real. Same with the scene playing out the scenario where Hunt participates in ambushing and actively killing all those police officers. As soon as a few innocent police got shot, I got a feeling that this was some kind of thought playing out, and not something actually happening. The character of Hunt, as we've been specifically told, is one that wouldn't allow for trading of those lives, so it's hard for the audience to believe Hunt would not only allow something like that to happen, but also participate in it. For me, the twist I didn't see coming was the Lane -> Benji reveal. I was wondering why Hunt wasn't immediately on Walker when Hunt got accused of being Lark, but really didn't expect a turnaround to happen so quickly.
Thank you, Jeffrey, I was starting to think that I was the only one not shocked by these scenes. Great movie... but the hospital scene, and others, were kinda predictable with clues like the way windows give clues about the realism of a location (ie. like the airplane windows in Now You See Me 2).
goldfinger had a ticking time bomb in the end which first time watching it i found it amazing and the inconvenience of the clock counting down and the only thing preventing bond from getting at the bomb was a big Korean who kept overpowering the main character. no other bond film could do that but they tried.
The fight scene in the bathroom was quite intense, and different form what hollywood usually offers (super humans, super fighters, invencible women), also has some twist, great action and theme (in the form of the different plan/intentions of the "good" characters)
renner cannot catch a break...the avengers don't want him. mission impossible don't want him. Heck the closest renner has become to being a bad ass was in fucking TAG hahaah
He was introduced into mi4 by the studio to set up a possible replacement for Tom cruise. Then of course mi4 and mi5 were so good they forgot about that idea pretty fast
@@guitarman0365, it's not that they don't want him, you dope! He had schedule conflict with Avengers so he couldn't film in MI:6. He also broke both his hands during filming Tag, I think, so that's why his part in Avengers 3 was pushed for later in Avengers 4
0:42 Finally someone else says it, don't know why it isn't more popular. Its perfect for hyping myself up for an hour while working on assignments. Love this video, now I feel even more justified in saying Fallout was the best movie of 2018.
Part of the reason the film feels convoluted is that a great many scenes were cut to shorten Fallout (which still turned out pretty long). For example, the guys attacking Hunt and White Widow in the bar were actually hired by her brother to kill him (cause he thought the deal was fishy), and the explanation for the fakeout between Benji and Lane was also removed. Don't take this as a defense of the plot though, because you can still tell it's constructed to string along set pieces without breaking the audience's immersion.
First of all: This movie was amazing! I was blown away that the 6th movie in the franchise was so good! Thanks everyone who made it! And then secondly: this video analysing the movie was also excellent! I learned so much from it, whilst being thoroughly entertained! Thank you.
I watched this for my birthday I’ve never really been a fan of MI but wanted to go to cinema not expecting much. I was surprised I really enjoyed it and loved the action and plot
Before I even clicked the video I Was hoping the cop scene was going to be here. I remember the first time I saw it thinking "There was absolutely no need for this to be here, but I'm so glad it is"
I completely agree. This was my favorite movie of last year as well as my favorite score from Lorne Balfe. I think he's very underrated and should have gotten more recognition for this score. I can't believe the film didn't get any Oscar nominations.
Really loved the opening scene because that was the first choice he had to do save his friend or run away with the plutonium but he somehow figures away of save him his friend even if he did lose the mission.
The realism of actually making the scenes, the fear and challenges that protagonists feel and show through emotions are part of the sucess of this movie, because things are really happening. For example the bathroom scene, is harsh, cruel, brutal, explendid, without over realiance on cgi or even using it, its the argumentation, the feeling what makes this movie a jewel.
I like how the movie gave the motivation for the needlessly complex hoops it requires for the plot... by just making Lark so smart that to him it doesn't seem "complicated" & merely the way that it should be done to accomplish the goal.
Did I see "best score of the year" at one point for this film? I'll have to listen to it. I can't wait to get this movie on Blu Ray. I enjoyed it so much! A properly satisfying climax is a major point in my book, and this film gave it 100%.
Lorne Balfe's best work so far, topping even his work on MW2. Check out the track "Cutting On One" in the score and listen to the very end. One of the best tracks ever. And also check out "Stairs & Rooftops". That's my routine jogging music now -- never ran faster in my life.
@@Filmento Well, I just finished listening to all 26 main tracks (not the bonus ones). I wasn't super impressed by the score, except for "Stairs & Rooftops" and "The Syndicate". Everything else kinda sounded the same. Maybe this score is not really best listened to independent of the film. I've been listening to a lot of the scores for DC films, and they're just really up there with the best. Granted, Hans Zimmer did like 90% of them, but he's the best and his scores sound like it. The one thing I noticed from most DC films compared to the soundtrack for M:I:F is that I can recall the scenes in my mind of the DC films as the score is playing. If the title didn't give it away I couldn't recall what scene each piece of music came from with M:I. People can say what they want, but 90% of the time, DC's films have memorable scores. I can only hope Rupert Gregson Williams did a fantastic job with Aquaman. Plus, Zimmer is coming back to DC's films with Wonder Woman 1984. I think they should have swapped them. Since Williams' score for WW is so darn great, let him do 1984, and let Zimmer do Aquaman. Could you imagine a Zimmer score for Aquaman?!
Fair play. Have you listened to Giacchino's MI scores? The third one and Ghost Protocol. I always thought his work was the best in the franchise, but to me Balfe's take gets very close, if not beyond. There's just so much emotion tied to these Fallout tracks, at least to my ears. Agree on Zimmer though. Man of Steel and BvS were fantastic scores.
Filmento, you're the first person I've seen to talk about how good this movies score was. I usually dont even notice a movies OST. So me loving it really speaks volumes to how good it is. Every track was amazing. I agree with you about "Stairs and Rooftops", that song gives me so much andrenaline.
@@sheikhheisen That whole rooftop chase scene with him running full blast was pure adrenaline! Wasn't that the scene where he broke his ankle? And I think the scene as you see it in the film is the actual take where he hurt himself, but he pulled himself up like a boss and kept running, I think.
I had trouble building scenes, I looked into many and many sources looking for an answer, your video was one of the best sources by far, and I've read Eric Edson. Thanks a lot for the awesome analysis!
I feel like Mission Impossible is like the horse that just won’t die. The movies are always great (by modern standards anyways) and I always think the next installment will end up going bad, and then get pleasantly surprised when it isn’t.
that sky jumping scene is so bad ass because tom cruise just grabbed some camera guys and went behind everyones backs to film that. He wasn't allowed to do it so he just did it anyways
B and C have less choice, but id go with B because its the climax, wrapping theme and previous choice together while also being tense af and having a good 'twist' or surprise with the white screen.
Something that struck me about the new show the Madalorian is how the end of the first episode used this formula. It even had a big reveal, and had the antagonist character be someone the audience actually likes. This is where understanding the tropes can allow you to really perfect a story instead of trying to go the current Hollywood route of subverting them for cheap laughs.

Are you kidding? You couldn't figure out that Cavill's character was bad from the trailer???
Did you watch the video? He mentions that the audience is anticipating that Cavill’s character is bad, so instead of making the twist the reveal that he is John Lark, he makes the twist of how IMF tricks him into revealing his identity. Watch that scene. The reveal of who he is is so casual that it is clear McQuarrie is not thinking he surprised anyone. The twist is when Lark realizes that he has been deceived into revealing his identity to the authorities. That’s a clever move by a smart writer.
You want another thing that make the mask twist even more brillant ?
If you watch the last 3 Mission Impossibles... their is a secret Running Gag with Benji who REALLY want to put a mask. In Ghost Protocol, he's so exciting by the idea of using a Mask when they talk about it when they made up their plan in Dubaie... but the mask machine dosen't work, so he missed that one. And in Rogue Nation, he again planed to use a Mask to infiltrate the CIA base, but here's too, he dosen't get it. So it's make it even more satisfying to see him finally puting a mask.

I don’t really hear anyone mentioning the sky diving scene, personally that was my favourite scene in the entire movie, because of the great cinematography, tension , and apparent realism.
The obvious CGI lightning storm kinda ruined it for me...
I just realized there had to be a cameraman with the two and now I'm crying

The cute French cop lady is a reference to the cute MI trainee in the record shop who Lane murdered in the opening of RN. Back then, Lane wanted to remind Ethan of how Lindsey died in MI3 and make it personal. Except this time Ethan can actually save the cute, innocent girl.
It's like poetry, it rhymes.
All poetry should include cute, innocent girls.
Those cute extras must have felt blessed that they got to film a scene with freaking Tom Cruise.
Nice quote
"It's like poetry, it rhymes."
Obviously I heard that line in George Lucas voice...
Forgive me for being a possible idiot, but what does RN stand for. I haven't watched a M.I. film since the fifth one, and I usually never view franchises in order.
Interesting that you brought up the early 'hospital' scene as a great twist. That scene is probably the most traditional Mission Impossible setup since the original series (where they used to do this regularly).
Yea, and it's nice that Fallout used the classic trick. Not only presented it as a nice (mini)twist, it threw us back into the nostalgia of classic MI.
What I liked is how this twist was also used by the bad guys in London as a rhyme:
First the CIA who does it in reverse: switching of the lights and catching everyone by surprise, and then Walker who echoes Ethan Hunt with: "Go!" and some of the CIA gunmen turn out to be his henchmen.
The nicer part of this is the fact that it was Tom who does most of his own stunts, which allowed for authentic facial expression capturing. Which further added great values to the experience.
How to make the perfect scene: add cute French girl. Got it.
And Tom Cruise
add a shawty who is a baddie
The bathroom fight was the best.
Acting on point, plot simple and good, cinematography amazing.
This film was entertaining
I loved how the bad guy was basically moping the floor with Hunt and Walker combined.

Walker locking and loading his fists was worth the bad CGI face in justice league
Great analysis. What I found great about the movie myself is how imperfect the action scenes were. There was always something going wrong both for Ethan and for the bad guys. Motors not starting, gun empty, miscommunication between Ethan and Benji, the chaotic fight in the bathroom, missing the cargo dump on the helicopter. It upped the tension and made it all more relatable as we'd all stumble our way through such things. my favorite one is probably Ethan climbing into the helicopter and then be like "Okaaaay.... how the fuck does this thing work?"
You stumble your way through a lot of car chases, gun fights, and brawls in public restrooms, do you? XD
I totally agree though. The purposeful imperfections and setbacks made it more realistic, more tense, but also more comedic to watch.
What I found great was visual
Every frame was epic cool or badass and gorgeous
And many stunts and camera work made go
How did they do that?!
Like can you really produce a scene like this!?

The cop scene literally made me say "YES!" out loud and raise my fist when Ethan decides to save her. Truly a perfect scene in a modern-day masterpiece. You'd genuinely have to be wearing blinders, IMO, if you were to think that this film wasn't something special. It's shockingly phenomenal in every way. And that damn helicopter chase at the end... just wow. I really wish I caught this movie in IMAX because that helicopter chase alone would have made it worth the price of admission. I'm kinda hoping this gets some Oscar love come awards season because, if Mad Max: Fury Road was anything to go by, this is a shoe-in for a ton of big categories.
Likewise 💖🙏
I think it's hard to overlook the fact that it was completely expected, at least for me, that he would save the cop. To me, that scene lacked unpredictability at the end. As soon as I saw her when the doors opened, I knew she was both in trouble and that Ethan wouldn't kill her or let her die. So while the bad guys showing up and shooting her was an unexpected twist, the scene played out in a predictable way IMO.
@JamRock Bless nitpicking an action movie for little details in the storytelling
That's the way to discredit the master piece of an action Movie
It was amazing in Imax , only had two major scenes, first where ethan and walker jump out the jumbo plane and then the entire helicter chase and cliffside battle. Down here we have a 70mm Imax screen , it was originally for the movie Alamo and Imax documentarys but its becoming more commercial . Next up is Aquaman
@JamRock Bless Your NPC profile pic is perfect, you're too dumb to understand the contrivances throughout the movie, too deaf to know why it's called Fallout (literally explained in the movie), and your expectations of what the movie SHOULD be ruined your experience of what the movie actually was. Give yourself some credit next time, and don't let your false predictions ruin the next great movie you see.
“And also one of the best climaxes in my history” ohohoho I feel you on that one big guy, women are hard
this movie made me go like "YOOOOO" so many times, to this day, still one of the best thriller and action movies I have ever seen
Personally I thought the climactic shot was the absolute best part of the movie, the one right after everyone cuts the wires and as Ethan pulls the defuser pin. It's a fantastic twist because the choice to cut to a white screen could mean failure or success in equal measure. They could do a cliche fade-in to a hospital ward, as they do shortly afterwards, to signify success, or it could pan out to show the nuclear explosion taking shape after the initial "flash," signifying failure. This is the first split path we come to; the white screen.
The shot after this is even better, in that it doesn't resolve the mystery at all. We don't see a hospital ward or anything signifying success; in fact, it looks a hell of a lot like the flash from a nuclear explosion. The brightness dims a bit as the shot fully emerges, but we can't really be sure if the explosion has gone off as it's so brief. This is the second split path; the bright light.
Finally, the shot after this is of Ethan hanging on the cliff. We're still not entirely sure whether or not he's succeeded, whether or not the bomb has gone off. His expression, as a matter of fact, is almost despondent, like he's failed, but we see it from far away so we can't be sure. We still don't know. We've come to a third split path.
Then, the payoff. He spits out the firing pin (a genius detail, as he wouldn't have been able to pull it out with one hand and he couldn't use his other hand as he was hanging onto the cliff using it) and drops the defuser, and we know that he made it in time. We see Benji and Ilsa safe and not disintegrated shortly afterwards, to clear up any lingering confusion, as well as the bombs ejecting their unspent plutonium. An absolutely fantastic climax, and even more impressive is the fact that all of the above happens in the span of ten seconds.
When I saw this scene, I really did thought he had failed
@@alexnetro1720 yeah me too. I think we have to be thankful for modern gritty holywood movies nowadays. Cus if this was made in 2000s for example, i am not sure i will buy the idea that he have failed. Cus heroes will always win.
I agree, that scene was INCREDIBLE. I was so shocked and amazed for those few seconds that Ethan might have actually failed. To imply for those few seconds that Ethan's choice in the beginning of the film to save Luther had led to the deaths of everyone he cared about and countless others was absolutely brutal. That was one of the few movie scenes that has left me breathless.
@@shelbyh7773 yeah that was another thing. the parallel in the beginning was really important. you were right. without it, that final scene would be way worse. i am really surprised with this mission impossible. seems like another action movie before i watched it. after i watched it was something else, it was so good. it was a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one

I read somewhere that there is a metric for his movies along the lines of how far he runs determining the success of the movie. So far it has worked out. I dont think its that simple but still fun.
I loved this scene. I also like how the antagonist is named "Walker" and never runs in the entire movie. He is the opposite to Ethan who is always running.
Oh my Lord...I never fist pumped and cheered for joy so hard in my life. lol. The music and cinematography in that whole sequence was amazing!
My favorite scene was the moment when you thought the bomb went off. Hunt was hanging from the cliff, and when I watched the movie in the cinema, I saw a game of lights, fading from a very bright white to normal, as I was standing in disbelief thinking all his friends died. I was so shocked, for those few seconds that the scene went on until the sky cleared, and the mushroom cloud wasn't visible. I thought something must be wrong. Then I realized I was tricked by one of the best scene lightning tricks I have ever seen. I enjoyed the whole movie, but that scene made a huge impression on me and the movie became one of my favorite movies of all time
MI: Fallout is a great movie. Loved every minute of it.
Like the fuse on the bomb under the table, this film is lit :D
th-cam.com/video/ghGBuROVSKo/w-d-xo.html
The French cop scene was also amazing because it subverted the expectation that Hunt would be forced to follow through with killing an officer, as he was in the mental breakdown preceding the extraction. By providing an alternative structure prior to the extraction the director was able to disrupt expectation during the ramming scene, extend tension via the motorcycle not starting scene, provide faux relief during the scene where Hunt is in the boat with team, reignite tension during the officer and gang shooting scene, provide expectation fulfilled through gangster killing officer scene which would provide a break in character regarding lived/followed through values for Hunt; however, Hunt "chose" to risk the end result to fulfill his established values and succeed in preserving the cop and his cover. I liked this scene so much it sparked my first TH-cam comment ever :)
That's the exact opposite. We know what will happened because it's an hollywood(ian) movie, and because its Tom Cruise. It make this scene very artificial and lame because it creates a fake emotionnal build up. The worst is actually the intention, because it's directed like there is really different possible endings when even a 14 years old know there is not (unlike hollywood TV drama where moral choices can really leed to different path)
Choices, especially moral ones, doesn't work in hollywood cinema. On the contrary, the emotion rises when there is an absence of choices, when things seems unavoidable. The best exemple is the ending of Toy Story 3. Is works because Pixar is so talented but also because it seems that there is no escape. They're advancing in one direction in a corridor (literally). No choice possible, they have to subish fate. And that's the most emotionnal scene in hollywood action history in a very long time.
What?
The Hospital Scene was like watching the old Tv Mission Impossible. Like they did in the begining of the first movie.
That's the exact thing I thought too when I watched it.
That hospital scene is the most traditional M:I scene in the movies in eons, and I say that as a good thing. It is a great callback to the series and, for as much as I love the first movie (still think it is the best one) this scene is the best representative of what the original M:I was.
Aw man, true. How did I not notice that!
What I really love about that French cop scene is that the camera and the facial expressions and body language of the cast tells you everything about what they're thinking and what is possibly about to unfold. Then unexpected shifts occur and that body language shows their surprise, then you watch them try to figure out what move to make. It tells us a lot about the characters without them saying anything. For instance, we knew that if the scene had gone on without any interruptions, Cavill's character would have tried to kill the cop. But we also know that Hunt was willing to kill to stop the cop from being murdered, so we can assume the two main characters would have found themselves at odds, thereby foreshadowing later scenes in the movie.
It's a shame that MI:Fallout carries the stigma of being the 6th movie in a long series of blockbusters of varying quality. I find myself shying away from telling people that I think it's the best movie I've seen this year.
I was actually expecting you to pick "scene C" since you were so blown away by the stage reveal, but you impressed me!
100% agreed. The moment I saw "scene A" in the theater, I knew it was a perfect scene. The emotional response to it was so strong; I look forward to it every time I rewatch Fallout.
i imagine if Tom Cruise ever took the role of Spiderman, he would want all the stunts by himself, as in he would want to swing from building to building in real life while filming the action scenes. and this brings me joy
Elements of a perfect scene : You forgot massive transforming robots with their huge robot balls hanging in frame.
@Ethan Hegel agreed
It's just... awesome. I was so nervous for Hunt for almost the whole duration of the film. Just when I thought I watched the most nerve-wrecking scene in the film, an even more heart-wrenching scene would apper. It really is one of the best films ever, if not THE best
This movie was insane. I think I've seen it 7 times now and I'm still impressed.
I've seen it 6 times, and I absolutely agree. So psyched for the 7th movie!

This is about as near perfect of an action movie as there is. And I agree 100% it's the best since T2. These types of movies are rare to say the least, but when they come, they should be celebrated like you have done with this movie. Well done!
Each action scene is a masterclass in suspense. When they had that line about oxygen when they jumped out the plane I was like; “huh what a random detail,” then it comes into play and I’m like damn that was perfect
This is fantastic, because the first time I watched MI Fallout, that one scene with the French cop was the only scene that really stood out to me. Hats off to you sir.
I almost forgot about watching this movie because i couldn't find the right time for it. I saw this video and thought, you know what? I'm gonna watch it, so i watched it today finally. And boy oh boy was i in for a treat. I especially loved the scene where Ethan is running after Walker, that "I'M JUMPING OUT A BUILDING" had me laughing like crazy. Just all around an amazing film to watch.
This is one of the few franchises that i own the entire blu-ray collection of.
Edit: Gotta give Tom for the dedication he shows in his films. No CGI, no stunt doubles, just him doing the best he can do, and boy is he good at it. Also no shaky cam, that's always appreciated.
I agree.
Still CGI though, just less (just like e.g. they didn't do the Halo Jump over Paris, they did it somewhere else, means all the background is cgi ... )

The bathroom fight scene in this movie was probably one of the most exciting and just awesome fight scene I’ve ever seen. It was just perfect.
honestly my favorite thing was the fact this movie rarely never says anymore than is needed. It shows more than it says.
5:39 "The hardest choices require the strongest wills."
Well, to be fair, the big twist in the hospital scene is basically an episode of the series, and that's why I loved it.
Honestly, I actually hoped that those bombs would have detonated. It'd be interesting to see how Hunt would deal with that
this movie could had easily be a 2 part story, where the bombs went off in this one and the second part should had been called fallout
Radioactive Powerhouse that’s exactly what I thought. I thought it would’ve made the film even better than it already was being left on a low note. Maybe not let him lose everyone but have half of his crew get destroyed and half be somewhere else in the world like doing some kind of tech stuff in another city. The movie was still beyond good though.
i thought they did blow up at 7:50
Yeah but the cliché ending wants him to stop it just before it detonates.
@@mathiasvoorhees6232 It would have been another great twist to the story haha
The typical problem with having so many different groups in a story is that writers typically have a hard time keeping it all cohesive or finding an organic way for them all to conflict. The great thing about MI:Fallout is the fact that the story is so convoluted with so many different players in the game yet they were able to weave a story and action around all of this that actually makes sense. Fallout was a very rare treat, one of the best action movies of all time. Terminator 2 will always be my number 1, but this movie is one of the first to come close to it.

My favourite scene was the one where Ethan Hunt chases that dude from the rooftops. I heard that he actually broke his foot in one part of the scene.
Very late but yes. His jump between the rooftoops, the take in the movie, is the take when he broke his ankle. When Cruise gets up on the second rooftop and limps past camera, his ankle was broken.
Brilliant movie. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Loved the twist at the beginning and I think that scene hearkens back to the premise of the original series. It's all slight of hand. I also agree with you about the cop rescue scene being the best written. It reveals that Ethan is not only an active protagonist, but an emotional one. And it reiterates Ethan's moral boundaries. I think the one character that wasn't needed in the whole thing was Alec Baldwin. We didn't need him to show up and verbally extrapolate Ethan's moral boundaries. I also agree with Theman Joe below. The mustache was totally worth it.
Another good scene that follows most of these tropes is Hunts persuit of Walker. a) it has a metaphorical time bomb in that Hunt has to catch Walker in order to essentially "stop his plan" (simplified beyond belief) which already builds a good amount of tension. b) when the twist is revealed that Walker essentially controls Julias life (again stupidly oversimplifed) it shocks the viewer and then adds their own thought on to the upcoming, c) choice. Hunt now has to choose between pursuing Walker and or saving Julia, and ultimately he does further pursue him but he gets away which even further adds to stakes at hand and the metaphorical/literal time bomb (even though Julia lives regardless). This whole scene is also showing Hunt`s activeness in which (literally) he just runs and the audience soaks up very minuite of it and (probaubly) doesnt get bored.
After finishing the movie, I felt this was my second favorite entry in the series, behind MI-3. But upon further examination, I think this one has taken the lead. It was a brilliant film, period.
I loved MI3 especially the cold opening scene
I was honestly feeling fatigue from this series after the last one but I'm glad I finally gave it a watch. One of the best movies out there 👍
Rogue nation was good but I thought it was a tiny bit of a step down from Ghost Protocol. This film blew both of them out of the water
The scene where Ethan met Julia in the final act is also a great twist. Not to mention it was under pressure. And she actually decided to help Luther to dismantle the bomb instead of doing nothing, which is for me, the best decision by the writer.
TBH, the hospital scene wasn't a shock at all if you've ever watched a single episode of the original TV series. The TV series had this type of twist in almost every episode. This was one scene where I knew exactly what was going to happen, even to the walls dropping. I liked the scene regardless as I considered it an homage to the original source. MI: Fallout had several such nods to the original TV series, more than any other film in the franchise I think.
I could tell about half way through because it was way too similar to the scene from the first movie, still really enjoyed the scene because of how well crafted it was though
Haven't seen the original TV series, but I still expected it to happen, since usually Ethan and his team are much more on top of things than it appeared in that scene, even when they are improvising they have more control over a situation than they appeared to have during this scene, which makes it pretty clear that it was all just a ploy to make hime confess.
It seemed fishy from the start but I was 100% sure it was faked when Ethan and Luther started playing "good cop, bad cop". Ethan's not the type to get angry like that and let go of his emotions, EVEN if those bombs went off. The only thing I was wrong about is I thought they got Wolf Blitzer (as in, the real one in the film universe) to help them (they are a government agency after all), then Benji pulled off the Blitzer mask and I was like "oh yeah they have those masks.." ...but wait, that still means they had to scan Blitzer's face to be able to produce a mask.. hm.
I haven't seen the TV series, or if I had, I don't remember them at all. As viewer who's really only seen the other MI movies, it was still pretty obvious that scene was a set up. The movies haven't led me to believe that they would make one where Hunt has to face a scenario/consequences where he's failed to THAT extent. I would definitely have been more surprised if that news report turned out to be real. Same with the scene playing out the scenario where Hunt participates in ambushing and actively killing all those police officers. As soon as a few innocent police got shot, I got a feeling that this was some kind of thought playing out, and not something actually happening. The character of Hunt, as we've been specifically told, is one that wouldn't allow for trading of those lives, so it's hard for the audience to believe Hunt would not only allow something like that to happen, but also participate in it.
For me, the twist I didn't see coming was the Lane -> Benji reveal. I was wondering why Hunt wasn't immediately on Walker when Hunt got accused of being Lark, but really didn't expect a turnaround to happen so quickly.
Thank you, Jeffrey, I was starting to think that I was the only one not shocked by these scenes. Great movie... but the hospital scene, and others, were kinda predictable with clues like the way windows give clues about the realism of a location (ie. like the airplane windows in Now You See Me 2).
I think the bathroom fight was one of the best fight scenes from modern cinema tbh
This is one of the best action thrillers ever made. In fact, the Mission Impossible series as a whole is amazing, and way better than Bond or Bourne.
Furkan Turfanda finally someone else realised how much better MI is than Bond (Skyfall was THE SHIT tho).
goldfinger had a ticking time bomb in the end which first time watching it i found it amazing and the inconvenience of the clock counting down and the only thing preventing bond from getting at the bomb was a big Korean who kept overpowering the main character.
no other bond film could do that but they tried.
The fight scene in the bathroom was quite intense, and different form what hollywood usually offers (super humans, super fighters, invencible women), also has some twist, great action and theme (in the form of the different plan/intentions of the "good" characters)
0:09 thought that explosion was real for a second XD
Come on M.I.7! The hospital scene. And bring back Jeremy's character, please!!
BOY i was so sad that he wasn't in this movie
renner cannot catch a break...the avengers don't want him. mission impossible don't want him. Heck the closest renner has become to being a bad ass was in fucking TAG hahaah
If he was in the movie, he would get killed off.
He was introduced into mi4 by the studio to set up a possible replacement for Tom cruise. Then of course mi4 and mi5 were so good they forgot about that idea pretty fast
@@guitarman0365, it's not that they don't want him, you dope! He had schedule conflict with Avengers so he couldn't film in MI:6. He also broke both his hands during filming Tag, I think, so that's why his part in Avengers 3 was pushed for later in Avengers 4
0:42 Finally someone else says it, don't know why it isn't more popular. Its perfect for hyping myself up for an hour while working on assignments. Love this video, now I feel even more justified in saying Fallout was the best movie of 2018.
That hook at the end, though. That was the one flaw, it kept catching, again, and again. If it weren't for that, it would have been perfect.
Part of the reason the film feels convoluted is that a great many scenes were cut to shorten Fallout (which still turned out pretty long). For example, the guys attacking Hunt and White Widow in the bar were actually hired by her brother to kill him (cause he thought the deal was fishy), and the explanation for the fakeout between Benji and Lane was also removed.
Don't take this as a defense of the plot though, because you can still tell it's constructed to string along set pieces without breaking the audience's immersion.
First of all: This movie was amazing! I was blown away that the 6th movie in the franchise was so good! Thanks everyone who made it! And then secondly: this video analysing the movie was also excellent! I learned so much from it, whilst being thoroughly entertained! Thank you.
I watched this for my birthday I’ve never really been a fan of MI but wanted to go to cinema not expecting much. I was surprised I really enjoyed it and loved the action and plot
Before I even clicked the video I Was hoping the cop scene was going to be here.
I remember the first time I saw it thinking "There was absolutely no need for this to be here, but I'm so glad it is"
My absolute favorite is Hunt's first wife helping to defuse a bomb.
I completely agree. This was my favorite movie of last year as well as my favorite score from Lorne Balfe. I think he's very underrated and should have gotten more recognition for this score. I can't believe the film didn't get any Oscar nominations.
Lorne Balfe's score is definitely my favorite of the year. James Newton Howard's for Crimes of Grindelwald comes close though.
If only Grindelwald was a better film
The female cop scene was one of the best in any movie. I had no idea how it was going to play out and rewatched it several times.
Really loved the opening scene because that was the first choice he had to do save his friend or run away with the plutonium but he somehow figures away of save him his friend even if he did lose the mission.
Just came to watch this 10 minutes after finishing the movie, love all you do and you're a great teacher in cinema and writing matters. ♥
Second best Mission: Impossible ever. Only just behind Ghost Protocol.
agreed
the first is still the best. but I guess it depends it you prefer action or espionage
True
IMO Ghost Protocol is the most fun only but Fallout is much better and more structurally consistent
just saw this film the other day, this is one of the best action movie since mad max :FR
my thoughts exactly!
I missed that one so to me it's like this is the greatest action movie ever I was so immersed into it
My favorite by far of 2018
@@tpsam its been a great year, Avengers IW was really good too, but yeah but ACTION movie of the year by far
@@DareToEntertain It's a shame Fallout wasn't nominated like Fury Road.
The role that cost 300 million to Justice League
The realism of actually making the scenes, the fear and challenges that protagonists feel and show through emotions are part of the sucess of this movie, because things are really happening. For example the bathroom scene, is harsh, cruel, brutal, explendid, without over realiance on cgi or even using it, its the argumentation, the feeling what makes this movie a jewel.
I like how the movie gave the motivation for the needlessly complex hoops it requires for the plot... by just making Lark so smart that to him it doesn't seem "complicated" & merely the way that it should be done to accomplish the goal.
Did I see "best score of the year" at one point for this film? I'll have to listen to it. I can't wait to get this movie on Blu Ray. I enjoyed it so much! A properly satisfying climax is a major point in my book, and this film gave it 100%.
Lorne Balfe's best work so far, topping even his work on MW2. Check out the track "Cutting On One" in the score and listen to the very end. One of the best tracks ever. And also check out "Stairs & Rooftops". That's my routine jogging music now -- never ran faster in my life.
@@Filmento Well, I just finished listening to all 26 main tracks (not the bonus ones). I wasn't super impressed by the score, except for "Stairs & Rooftops" and "The Syndicate". Everything else kinda sounded the same. Maybe this score is not really best listened to independent of the film. I've been listening to a lot of the scores for DC films, and they're just really up there with the best. Granted, Hans Zimmer did like 90% of them, but he's the best and his scores sound like it. The one thing I noticed from most DC films compared to the soundtrack for M:I:F is that I can recall the scenes in my mind of the DC films as the score is playing. If the title didn't give it away I couldn't recall what scene each piece of music came from with M:I. People can say what they want, but 90% of the time, DC's films have memorable scores. I can only hope Rupert Gregson Williams did a fantastic job with Aquaman. Plus, Zimmer is coming back to DC's films with Wonder Woman 1984. I think they should have swapped them. Since Williams' score for WW is so darn great, let him do 1984, and let Zimmer do Aquaman. Could you imagine a Zimmer score for Aquaman?!
Fair play. Have you listened to Giacchino's MI scores? The third one and Ghost Protocol. I always thought his work was the best in the franchise, but to me Balfe's take gets very close, if not beyond. There's just so much emotion tied to these Fallout tracks, at least to my ears.
Agree on Zimmer though. Man of Steel and BvS were fantastic scores.
Filmento, you're the first person I've seen to talk about how good this movies score was.
I usually dont even notice a movies OST. So me loving it really speaks volumes to how good it is. Every track was amazing. I agree with you about "Stairs and Rooftops", that song gives me so much andrenaline.
@@sheikhheisen That whole rooftop chase scene with him running full blast was pure adrenaline! Wasn't that the scene where he broke his ankle? And I think the scene as you see it in the film is the actual take where he hurt himself, but he pulled himself up like a boss and kept running, I think.
The thumbnail gets funnier the longer you look at it
Before even watching this, that scene in particular was my most memorable in Fallout .. wasn't sure why until now hahah
I had trouble building scenes, I looked into many and many sources looking for an answer, your video was one of the best sources by far, and I've read Eric Edson.
Thanks a lot for the awesome analysis!
I feel like Mission Impossible is like the horse that just won’t die. The movies are always great (by modern standards anyways) and I always think the next installment will end up going bad, and then get pleasantly surprised when it isn’t.
2:59 the legendary tom cruise meme laugh :D
10:55 I giggle hysterically every time
5:42 "You never know when some lunatic will come along witha sadistic choice"
Loved the final part of the video, had me smiling AND I guessed right!
that sky jumping scene is so bad ass because tom cruise just grabbed some camera guys and went behind everyones backs to film that. He wasn't allowed to do it so he just did it anyways
14:18 YAYYYYY! I picked the correct choice!
This made me really hungry for some fallout 76 lol! Love Tom & Henry so much!
B and C have less choice, but id go with B because its the climax, wrapping theme and previous choice together while also being tense af and having a good 'twist' or surprise with the white screen.
Something that struck me about the new show the Madalorian is how the end of the first episode used this formula. It even had a big reveal, and had the antagonist character be someone the audience actually likes. This is where understanding the tropes can allow you to really perfect a story instead of trying to go the current Hollywood route of subverting them for cheap laughs.
Thanks for dissecting the script and movie so well.
