In this video essay, I discuss how Moon expresses three connected themes: Isolation, Marketing, and Futility.

Sam Rockwell is one of the most humble, talented, underrated actors who has ever worked in the industry.
Sam Rockwell is the most underrated actor of his age group
I agree so much
If he was taller and a bit better looking he'd be a huge star
@@rocketblades I don't think he's any worse looking than Edward Norton
Maybe of any age group?
@@blaisetelfer8499 well Sam has never made fight club to be fair
I remember saying that the poster for moon reminded me of David Bowie's space oddity and had absolutely no idea who the director was until today.
Moon also has a fantastic soundtrack
I remember watching this with my dad a few years ago, we were browsing Netflix and had nothing better to do. Great film
Me and my dad did the same exact thing a fee years ago.
What region?
OH MY GOD I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
THIS FILM IS SO IGNORED. FUCKING SHIT!
I'M SO HAPPY.
And such a meaningful exploration of it, too.
So many people are still sleeping on Moon. One of the greatest films I've seen!
I’m reminded of the game Soma-it’s always interesting how sci-fi plays with perceptions of the self and what it means to be alive, or even just to exist in general
I studied Moon in my A-Level film course, and I'm really surprised how many of the same ideas and themes I touched on in my essays that re-appear in your video.
The film's contrast between a man having just left his wife and coming to terms with the idea he'll be alone for 3 years with his coping mechanism being avoidance and anger - and the same man 3 years down the road, finally accepting his place just to be broken down and throw from his comfort into despair.
Rockwell does such an excellent job at portraying the same man at two very different points in his life, the emotion, the deterioration, the determination - he creates such an emotionally devastating timeline for Sam Bell. I took to the idea of colour theory, how Sam 1 fits with blue and Sam 2 fits with red - sadness and anger in contrast (something I saw in the video with you describing the differences between Sam 1 and 2 yourself) but I also love how every yellow item, though artificial and planted by Lunar ltd, is a source of happiness for Sam in the sterile and simplistic environment of the Sarang Base.
The jokes of being alone developing into being the only version of you 'wake me up when its quitting time' 'I am the one and only' - I just think it's brilliant.
Thank you for covering the film, I wish I'd found this video during my studies, but at least I can reflect back upon it now :)
I love this movie so much, for all the reasons you mention, and it made me an instant fan of Sam Rockwell. I'm so glad to see it get attention. I recommend it to everyone who will stand still long enough to listen.
"i want to go home" is one of the most heartbreaking moments in any media ever, on par with "how many fingers am i holding up, winston?" from 1984
well, paused and watched the movie, didn't regret it at all. wonderful video and holy shit what an amazing movie
I discovered your channel from you series on house. Your break downs and analysis of TV and movies is absolutely astounding but what I find is just as impressive if not more is how you manage to take these really in depth, very complicated concepts and put them into a narrative that somehow simplifies and makes it easy to understand yet doesn't compromise on anything else. you are an incredible talent with amazing skill, and I cannot thank you enough for all of these videos.
I'll
Is it possible that all the Sams on the Moon were clones -- even the first one to be activated 15 years ago? After all they all have the "memory" of coming to the Moon.
That would fix the pod number issue.
And this might make sense. The "original" Sam was trained, cloned and mind synced -- but never left Earth, especially since all that training is valuable. Another corporate asset.
Or maybe the original Sam rocketed to the moon -- inspected all his clones -- completed whatever has to be done for mind-syncing/memory storage and then went back home.
The recordings of his wife were something she was also paid to do for a 3 year period.
Damn I didn't know Bowie's son directed this.
I goddamn love this film. One of my faves.
I especially love Gerdy - the friendly AI that in most films would probably turn out to be a dark corporate evil robot, but in this one he's just consistently kind and helpful lol.
I’ll actually never forget the first time I saw him in a movie and the movie is silly but he was stull able to blow me away… Charlie’s Angels lol… the moment where he shifts personality from geek to villain is just *chef’s kiss* …. Watched him in literally everything he’s made since… so many great performances (choke, matchstick men, moon, etc)
This film is so underrated it's unholy.
I reiterate my comment from more than a year ago: This is my new favorite TH-cam channel.
I remember watching this with my wife (gf at the time) and my friend at the theater. Such a slow burn, I had a feeling there would be a twist. When the twist happened early, I had a feeling there'd be a bigger twist. Good movie.
Can't watch this right now because I have a paper to read, but GOSH I'm so excited and looking forward to watching this later!
I love this movie so much!! An underrated gem, quiet and somber but absolutely shook me to the core
This movie is so underrated, thanks for making a video of it
The fact that you don't have at least a million subscribers legitimately makes me sad.
this channel keeps on delivering banger after banger, any thoughts on sunshine?
Awesome analysis, I watched Moon a few years ago and it freaked me out. Just chilling with another version of yourself and not going insane seems like a task and a half.
So glad you're back with another video. I really enjoy them for aa long as they last.
This couldn't have been released at a better time, Keep up the good work
Jesse is back from the Moon
Great movie, great video. Didn’t know about the existence of “mute”, now i gotta see it.
honestly the best video essay about Moon.
Love this movie. Glad I found this channel. Keep up the good work
I've never seen this movie but it sounds fascinating, and I'm glad that Sam 1 and Sam 2 could be a little more kind to each other towards the end.
This was a really cool perspective, thanks for making this.I love this movie and just how thought provoking it is through and through
Absolutely enthralling video. Great job.
Such a great channel. Please keep them coming. You're doing great work here mate.
perfect timing for this excellent essay to come out.
Incredible film, and excellent video. Made me feel it even more.
thanks man. i love your style. i dont always agree, but i still love it. keep it up.
This movie receive applause at the screening I went to, and it was well-earned. Wonderful analysis 💛🌙🌟✨
So consistently well made with your videos man, and one of my favorites this time. I’d love to hear your take on Black Mirror, hell honestly the more sci-fi the better! Looking forward to the next one!!
Literally just watched Moon 3 days ago. Brilliant video bro
Nice video essay. I love this movie so much. Sam Rockwell is one of my favorite actors to watch. Always so intense.
*It's really sad so few people have seen Moon*
This is great, always a pleasure watching your videos. Saludos desde Argentina.
love your esays
You make such good content that I gotta watch the movie just so I can watch this video
love this channel
love your vids dude
I watched this movie when I was 11 and it genuinely changed me
Loved this film.
I came away with the impression OG-Sam never worked a day on the Moon and that's why the numbers seemed off. Not sure if my brain made that up or not...
That's how I interpreted it as well.
I don't think so. Otherwise Tess would have had to record 3 years worth of staged video messages.
@@nikebauschaum4714 Yeah, Sam 5 watched a baby grow up over the course of 3 years. That's a lot of investment time to run a clone racket.
You're right... The original Sam Bell simply trained for his mission on Earth for 3 years in isolation as a test for whether or not his clones would be able to withstand the overwhelming isolation. He still worked, and was isolated...but I think the biggest part of it is that he didn't want to risk actual spaceflight because of the overwhelming fear of him being lost to his family. If you look at the trial scene in Mute, you can tell he is filled with shame and regret. He sold out his clones and in turn lost 3 years of life with his family. I also have the feeling Tess died not long after his "training" mission. Eve seems to only barely remember her mother at 15, which probably means she was still only 3 or 4 at the time of her death. Another thing that ties in with Mute that makes me think that is the loss of parents and the fear thereof as an overarching theme.
Thanks Jesse
He’s back
Great video, channel, movie.
Epic
Thank you
Man, that's a fascinating movie.
just watched this fi! excited to see what you have to say
This is one of my favorites. Also, Source Code is very underrated.
15:12 not sure if it was a mistake of translation or intentional, but 안녕히 계세요 is "goodbye" you say to someone who is staying and you are the one leaving. 안녕히 가세요 is "goodbye" you say to someone who is going away and you are staying. Not sure if this was intentional as a nod to the fact that Sam is never truly leaving, or just a mistake of using a foreign language. Or maybe I'm mistaken, Korean isn't my native language.
Jesse, go play SOMA now!! I can’t tell you why without spoiling but if this movie spoke to you enough to make a movie, you’ll love SOMA! It explores a lot of the same questions of identity and humanity in a similar context.
Fantastic movie
It’s been quite a while!
I rlly appreciated the sam(s) cameos in mute, moon is one of my favourite movies ever and ill take any reference to it very happily! Also i think mute was so overhated it was a pretty neat movie, paul rudd and justin theroux were exceptional 😡
This film was very good
♥
I fucking love this movie
You can find similar concepts in a game ''Soma'' , one of the best horrors of all time :)
Oh i thought this was about the Doom Mod
Will you be doing a video of the Snyder's Cut?
What's the song at the end of the video?
Hey Jesse, I don't know if this is the case for any of your other videos, but you've got a dead link to your Patreon.
What font did you use? I've been looking for that font or something similar for years now.
GreenMountain3
@@JesseTribble Thanks, man. Been looking for a font like that in years. Is it actually the font used on the set design on Moon or is it a look-alike?
@@hansenriquez1810 I'm not sure if it's one-to-one, but at least some variation was used in the film. They're very close.
@@JesseTribble Yeah, it looks close enough. Again, thank you so much for helping me find this font! BTW, great video, as usual!
2 words after watching this. Holy. Shit.
If you like this, watch Love (2011) as well
had to stop at 19:18 xD I didn't know there was a sequel haha
edit: nevermind. just saw it haha
The art of telling people what they want to hear and make them feel like their favourise entertainment product is important.
Welcome to Lunar Industries
Currently watching First Man on Apple TV so this is perfect
Jessie I have got suggestions for u. Why don’t u review Movies and dramas of other countries like Turkish , Korean Chinese , Spanish and maybe some horror and other genres ? Plzzzz💕😎😎😎😎
I greatly enjoyed this film, but I have very mixed feelings about it because of it's one BIG flaw. Namely, the final denouement, the big reveal that solves the central mystery, involves a totally unrealistic and non-sensical technology. It's the same for the film The 6th Day. I guess people who LOVE this movie are able to ignore it. All sci-fi involves some of this to some extent. All fiction involves suspending disbelief. But this one really bugged me, once I started thinking about it 10 mins after the film ended. Really good sci-fi will at least address a glaring hole like that and come up with a plot device to explain it. But it's still worth watching IMHO.
"Fuck"
You should have called the video "Moon - Spoiler Video. Go Watch It First -Then We'll Talk." ;-)
Is the channel dead?
I'm not sure it's accurate to say most people wouldn't care upon hearing about clones taking the original to court. That sounds like something a lot of people would care about.
Sam Rockwell is the best!
How have I
Sam Rockwell.
Hope your ok?
all of our lives are irrelevant.
and it's all good

I've watched a lot of videos and I think you usually are completely wrong about a character's objectives or its place in the story, I get that you just give your opinion but how can you get it wrong in most of your episodes.
