Wow Dylan, GREAT video. As an unbiased viewer I think I speak for every single person and say you explained everything so well I'm sure everyone will be happy and nobody will have a problem anymore
See I have TOO MUCH empathy when I watch movies, which is why I love watching your commentary as someone who is disconnected from it. Your absurdist humor is so entertaining to me, and helps me remove myself from being too invested in the films.
I'm the same! Seeing him not care keeps me grounded in reality and lets me watch these movies ( that I wouldn't be able to watch otherwise bcs i get so invested into the characters i have severe anxiety attacks)
this is the literal reason i watch his videos as well!!! so i can take a step out of MY reality and watch someone elses to give me a different perspective
@@onuhrita5009 Agree, I thought the concept had merit and potential but was disappointed - like eating a meal that wasn't nearly as good as you hope and didn't hit the spot.
To be fair, he thought the plot was interesting and terrifying. Which is why the movie was so disappointing to him, because certain points could have put the whole audience in her shoes instead of just the people that are already in it from before they press play.
People kept saying “I think Dylan confused a horror movie and a thriller”, but I think the real problem is people confusing a movie critique/analysis and a movie commentary. Movie commentaries aren’t really supposed to be that serious, at least in my opinion anyways.
@@decemberose No one was eating him up fml... Like seriously the reaction was just, "Oof, those jokes were a little rough," it wasnt that harsh. And this is how a community stays learning and growing. Do you expect us to treat Dylan like he's perfect? Are we never allowed to have thoughts about the content we're watching? I too have wondered about his stance on things based on his jokes (I don't mind the jokes, just made it unclear what he actually thinks), so its nice to know where he actually stands. I don't need to politically agree with him to watch him watch movies but it's still nice to know where he stands as a viewer and supporter
I get all sides of the argument here definitely, personally for me I haven’t ever watched your video and taken anything to offence . I think we actually have similar humour , it’s rare seeing a creator who I find actually funny
I got both said as well, but the comments saying that Dylan didn't find the movie scary because he was a white man really made me roll my eyes as when other women stated that they didn't find the movie scary as well was labelled a pick me.🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️ That being said nobody should be complaining about the new Karen movie because as black woman it shows the struggle black people face daily. If you do complain you missed the point of the movie and your viewing it from a non black perspective /sarcasm
@@gentlemanghost5900 I mean you can’t just pick and chose what to complain about. This movie could’ve also been a real life situation for woman, meaning it can happen to any woman. I think the point is that fiction is fiction in the sense that the Karen movie is just full of fictional characters and it’s a movie meant to entertain for profit. People know the difference between the reality of the idea of this movie and the fiction of this movie. It’s not even just about “complaining” a lot of people are even making fun of the Karen movie because it’s a meme that they’re trying to make into a thriller, ya know? Im not trying to argue, I just think the point is that everyone’s opinion on a fictional movie shouldn’t be taken too seriously because they’re just saying their opinions on a fictional MOVIE, not the real life situations people go through.
Yer I agree. I do also think he wasn't looking at from a female perspective but I'm glad he's thinking about his bias going forward. Plus it's his channel so I dunno people need to chill 🤷🏻♀️
@@aishulko6169 He's not a critic, those are his opinions, just like you have yours. People are allowed to dislike things you like. Sounds to me you're the one who needs to mature a bit.
It is not. It's important for people to get off their rage by listening to him just explain his perspective. I didn't hate him, but was not very thrilled about his "just get naked!" joke. people (especially on the internet) tend to go apeshit over the smallest things without any discussion happening between the "sides" but only "same!" and "exactly!" in the comments. I appreciate him explaining himself so we know that he does care how he came off to a group of people. I still disagree on some points, but I can see that he cares and that's the important thing.
I mean, isn't this how we want discourse to work? People had thoughts or interpretations of things he's said in the past (not just this movie) and discussing those thoughts is allowed. I didn't really see people attacking him unfairly, just voicing their takes. Him using his platform to listen and then speak about his own thoughts and feelings in turn helps us all understand each other's perspectives better and could lead to some interesting conversations... this is how a community becomes more nuanced and tolerant, listening to each other and taking each others thoughts and feelings seriously
The writers really did miss the mark by making her cliche serial killer bait, a woman living in the middle of nowhere, leaving her doors open or unlocked, with no way to protect herself. Would've been more psychologically thrilling if she had taken precautions due to her circumstances and still found herself in that situation.
This right here! That's what I was saying to my friend cause she was livid I didn't like the movie. The movie literally made it seem like her being deaf meant she just was unaware of EVERYTHING. Like a whole murder happened right next to her in big glass doors and she saw nothing or looked up once till he sent her pictures. Like I can't put myself in her shoes because I'm not ignorant to the world around me. If she was an actual person with common sense and regard for her own disability, I think it would've worked better.
@@jessicahector6802 omg yes! i didn’t like the way they portrayed her as completely unaware of everything, i’m personally not deaf but a lot of people in my family, including my mom are and that’s definitely not how it works. they notice me when i come into a room or when something falls down, crashes or makes a really sudden loud noise (for example banging at a window). they notice stuff like that because deaf people focus more on their vision and feel the vibrations of things/sounds more easily since they can’t rely on their hearing. the movie really frustrated me in so many ways because of that
thats such a good point, and to me it shows that the writers themselves dont seem to care that much about women getting harrassed etc, they just used the main character as a plot device to make a scary (thriller) movie. im a woman and if i chose to live in the woods by myself, theres no way i'd leave my doors open (especially at night) and im sure im not the only one
My paranoid ass wouldn’t have been able to live there without having my guard up 24/7 and something to defend myself with readily available at every door. The fact that she took NO precautions is painfully unrealistic.
I‘m so glad you said that bc I was thinking that the whole time. I just couldn‘t put myself in her shoes at all. It‘s so unrealistic for a deaf single Women to live in the woods so far away from other people and like you said not even take precautions. I feel like it also kinda downplays real situations like these cause it makes it seem like this stuff only happend bc the women wasn‘t careful enough and didn‘t take precautions whereas in real life this stuff happens to people who did take precautions. It‘s really frustrating that people are bashing Dylan for something like this when he never even talked about real life stuff :(
Exactly! I'm almost convinced that most of the angry comment is new people that just want to watch hush's commentary but then again that comments dylan read is from the subreddit soooo huh I thought we already know this? ;-;
Ppl projected their ideal person onto Dylan’s personality- that’s the only way I can explain it bc like you said no one who actually pays attention to the way Dylan makes his commentary videos - it would’ve been obvious
Ok....here's the thing though. A movie can be made emphasizing the experience of a marginalized group, but that doesn't automatically excuse it from criticisms. Look at something like "Get out". It was a movie based largely around the racism exhibited by "I'm not racist I love black people" kinda people, which resonated with black audiences. but it was still a cohesive story, and scary to a broader audience as well. I'm a woman that lives alone. I'm terrified of men following me or breaking in. The concept of 'hush' is intriguing as a thriller.....but it's still a bad movie. It's just not good, and no amount of "Well you just aren't viewing it through the correct lens" is gonna save it.
@l3ulaklak l3looming I’ve had a man hide under my bed once so nah I’ll continue to be scared of men thanks. Also the only people who have followed me home and threatened me in public have been men so idk maybe there’s a pattern 🤷🏻♀️
@l3ulaklak l3looming people who are actually scared of men probably think so because theyve had bad experiences mostly or EXCLUSIVELY with them. If youve been in fearful situations with both men AND women, then you wouldnt single out just men. Also theres hardly anything sexist about that fear if it’s rooted in real experiences, and its not like the statement itself is sexist because OP didnt say men in general were scary, but that they personally are scared of men. Your comment is wack.
@l3ulaklak l3looming you can easily look up statistics and numbers of instances of violence perpetuated by men towards women. If you don’t believe the numbers then idk what else to tell you. The majority of women can probably tell you some pretty fucked up situations they’ve been in, SPECIFICALLY with men. At this point you’re just being willfully ignorant. No one is saying “all men are bad”, and I don’t fear every man on sight. However I have been assaulted in my own home by a man, and unfortunately that is now a fear I hold. There is no sexism involved.
I’m shocked that people actually took the “run naked at the killer” so seriously! I actually had to pause the video because I was laughing so hard at that joke. AND he literally addresses how ridiculous it is by flashing back to his more “credible” plans of attack. Like I really don’t know what more he could have done to emphasize it’s not about a woman being naked/sexual and just how absurd it would be for anyone to do that in the situation
As a woman who studies production design (therefore studies the overall design and psychology of a film/theater), the way Dylan watch films is important. Dylan looks at the plot and technicality of a movie NOT the story. It's different. If example Hush was indeed about domestic violence towards women (assuming that the overall design of the film supports that idea), then that's the story. Dylan didn't touched that at all. He literally looked at how some actions/decisions were dumb, how shots could've been made differently, and other technical stuffs. I'm not saying that people are too sensitive. They are all valid. It's just that they're literally watching the film on a different lense.
I just want to say that he ignored the plot a lot as well, ignoring things that literally happen in front of his face and then contracts himself a few times throughout the reaction (not saying he has to be perfect or professional, just pointing it out)
I'm proud that Dylan handle this respectfully but still didn't give up his own views and won't change himself based off what other people want and feel. I love his commentary regardless of the film itself and I wouldn't want him to change it as all! Keep up the good work
And I liked how he acknowledges the real life horror that is violence against women. He didn't pull the "whataboutism" or "actually" card, he just defended his opinions & explained why he felt that way. He handled this really well imo
@@catfluff13 Exactly! He didn't react like most commentators sometimes do, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I feel horrible, I won't ever do it again". Dylan was respectful but made it clear, he IS detached when it comes to movies, please be aware of it, he watches for entertainment and that he will continue making commentary in his own way that he enjoys. I like that he's persistent and honest in whatever he says. A genuine person.
As a female, hush was fucking trash and they made the protagonist make so many dumb decisions it literally made me mad. Disabled or not nobody would make all the mistakes she did. Why did she spend almost the entirety of the movie trying to run!? YOU LIVE IN THE WOODS WHERE ARE YOU GOING!? Yeah no i didn’t understand why everybody loved it so much
Exactly! I'm a woman too. Hush was a disaster. I watched it with my friends and the entire time I was yelling at the protagonist for taking the dumbest decisions possible. She was trapped in her house by a serial killer and she didn't even keep herself armed the whole time. It was just a terrible movie.
I honestly love that most people who had a problem with the commentary for whatever reason expressed their opinions very respectfully. Of course some people have to blow things out of proportion and insult Dylan which sucks, but Dylans community is mostly amazing! Most of the time Dylans commentary section is such a safe space for everyone where we just laugh and get along and that’s great! So the only comments I saw under the ‘Hush’ Video were so respectful and I highly appreciate that. I think what I wanna say is that I love this community and you guys are great :)
I, as a woman who is terrified of said event happening….. was extremely confused upon seeing the outrage of the hush video 🤣🤣🤣 I thought it was great commentary
Same, after watching the video and reading the comments I was so confused on why people where hating on it and bringing all these problems up. I don’t think the fear of living alone and being attacked is just a female thing. I think there are males out there that have this fear as well. And honestly as a female who watched this I completely agree with Dylan and his commentary in the hush video. People are just too sensitive about things that are said that isn’t even said to them or meant yo upset them.
Yeah, I enjoyed the video and had no idea why he was addressing something about it. Personally I felt like the video was right with the critique and humor. The whole scene with her finally using writer brain was completely out of place since it was hardly even mentioned. And the humor was great and I was even holding back some since I was in public watching it. The world sucks.
no same im paranoid all the damn time I didn't see anything wrong with it people need to know to separate reality from fiction.. like im scared of something don't need to be scared for a movie about it idk it that makes sense im dumb
I love Dylan sooo much, I'm so glad he's actually sticking to his ways and not change to please some viewers. I appreciate that he explained it for some that were affected by his comments. Personally I watched him for years now so I know his style and didn't have a single problem with it, I just figured he was kidding. I really appreciate his videos!
Same to everything you said! I feel like if you watch him regularly, you’d know he wasn’t being serious and that this is the way he usually jokes around in his movie commentaries :))
People should be allowed to take in a film however they want. The sexual assault comment was beyond strange especially since Dylan literally was pissed off in his Gossip Girl watch when Chuck, a rapist, got a redemption arc. He also hated that same trope that happened in Vampire Diaries watch with Tyler. I think we need to hold men accountable for the things they say and do, but this does not seem to be a case where something shitty happen. People don’t need to like or digest films all in the same way.
@@jagerbaby8628 the one about the jennifer’s body sacrifice thing, apparently dylan was laughing during that and people thought that dylan was making fun of sexual assault, even though in shows where sexual assault is an actual thing he expresses his disgust for it
No offense, but I was not expecting to see this video at all. Like, I was not expecting people to get offended. I’ve been watching Dylan since like 2018? idk and if I would’ve wanted a serious commentary I wouldn’t be watching him for so long lol I’m a woman too, and I get terrified of men, especially if I’m drinking, going out etc. But this was just a movie, meant to entertain in some way. I love horror movies, does that mean when I laugh at someone’s ridiculous death I’m a horrible human being who would laugh in a real life scenario? No. Is Dylan being offensive? No. Some people just watch movies differently. The “art” itself is not always what the artist might be feeling at the moment. It could be just a fictional story that they wanted to write/paint or it could be something more.
Very well said. I just made a comment similar. I’ve been watching him for years now and I also never expected that this video would cause such controversy. It seems like a perfect representation of Dylan’s content and his niche. I think it was one of his best videos. I don’t understand how masses became so offended by particular comments of his in the video.
I completely agree with you. I was completely shocked. Like I watch for Dylan’s humor. It is fictional. I loved Hush but I actually also loved a lot of points that Dylan brought up. Lol I’m a woman, I’m a feminist but I’m like Dylan, I watch the movie for the entertainment not for the “real meaning” that may or may not have even been a thought when making the film.
people suddenly forgeting that dylan said his channel is called dylan is in trouble cause the jokes he makes aren't really about reality and that would probably get him in trouble at some point
Can’t believe that people still don’t get that Dylan is literally here for shits n giggles. Don’t take his commentaries too seriously. If you’ve been watching for long enough, you’ll know his real life views are very morally sound. People just like to take an negative idea about a person and run with it. Dylan is still my comfort TH-camr and I’m happy to see he’s standing his ground and not letting the trolls get him down
he got all defensive and childish and blabbed something about how all movies are just entertainment for him and are made to get money, even though art is literally means to change views of society and talk about important issues. He can't take criticism, very disappointing even for a 'funny guy'
@@ChocolateMuffin308 it’s not that he cannot handle the criticism, but rather that those criticizing we’re taking him too seriously, getting so upset, that he felt the need to reiterate that this is a comedy channel.
@Elisa from Wii Sports Well, for him it can be separated and from what I read in the comments here a lot of people feel that way. Like he said, a really good film will actually make him feel like the line starts to blur. If I'm not mistaken the example he'd given was Paranormal Activity where he said that the storytelling and the way they filmed actually made him feel like it was reality. So, when he goes into a film it's divided but it depends on the film itself whether it can truly reel him in
@Elisa from Wii Sports Either way, it is his opinion. It's just a commentary and he is giving his personal opinion on how we views films. For me, reality and fiction are pretty close together, that's why I could sort of understand where the comments were coming from. But after he explained how he views movies, I'm actually ok with it since now I understand how's he watching the movie. But in all honesty I didn't think the movie was good either 🤷 (coming from a woman)
as a woman, yes, this would be terrifying in real life, the same as *any other movie that dylan makes jokes about* but is was subjectively a BAD movie- or at least not a good one. Dylan did absolutely nothing wrong, his entire channel is making light of FICTIONAL circumstances. i honestly feel so bad for dylan rn, i hope he hasn’t let this ridiculousness get to him :(
This needs more likes. I really agree with “same as any other movie that Dylan makes jokes about but it was subjectively a BAD movie- or at least not a good one” The video he made and the jokes and criticisms about how things were shot had nothing to do with the movie being about a real issue. It’s no different from any other scary movie he’s made a video about.
@@hehehre7489 right it's because the horror movie leads of a girl in horrible scenario that kinda relates to real life. That makes them more critical and on the defensive
@@baebyun2914 What the person means is that while Dylan will criticize the movies he watches, the videos themselves are not critiques. He's watching these movies mostly for the first time, and it's just his first impressions. He's not diving in to them and trying to give a comprehensive critique of the movies.
@@baebyun2914 critiquing and criticising are different. A critique is like a formal review. Criticising is giving negative feedback. A commentary is a non-formal chat, so you can praise or criticise the subject in a casual way. Does it make sense now?
I feel like the people judging Dylan just don't understand him. Either they're first time viewers or they never really understood his humour to begin with. I never expect him to take anything seriously, that's WHY I watch his videos, because I know he will always come up with the most ridiculous, far fetched comments that make no sense whatsoever and that's precisely what makes me laugh. Take the "strip naked and run at the killer" comment. I, as a woman who is terrified of a home invasion, choked on my drink and laughed so hard at that. Because I'm not an idiot, I KNEW that was a joke and that he did not mean that seriously, nor did I think he was being sexist or anything. It was a joke and I found it hilarious. That's why people got so offended over it - they expected Dylan to treat this seriously. Anyone who knows him knows that isn't who he is.
I’ve been a long time subscriber as well. I enjoy his humour as well and will continue to enjoy it. But I mean yeah he makes lots of misogynistic jokes. It’s okay to call it what it is. Could he shift his commentary .5% and still be just as funny? Easily. Does he need to? No, of course not. And he’ll still be just as funny. But at least let’s call a spade a spade. Some people are rightfully criticizing his jokes. Some people are taking it too far. It comes with the territory if that’s your brand of humour. 🤷♀️
Yes I feel the same way,,, this cancel culture generation literally gets on my nerves sometimes… the world isn’t against you all the time… and it’s not possible to think about how every group of people will react to a comment.
The point of comedy is to push boundaries. I’m so happy he didn’t cave and I hope he continues to make exactly the same kind of jokes. And I’m a woman. There are way too many safe comedians.
I've been following his content for years. Since the days he would comment on video clips. The thought that just because you, as woman, felt fine with a joke think it's idiotic for a woman to feel uncomfortable lacks empathy, at best. I always feel uncomfortable with any joke that might involve the thought of using my body for anything because of my trauma. I'm quite sure that that's not exclusive to women, but we have a higher percentege. Imagining to be a blind woman in that situation is worse. Joking about doesn't seem even remotely funny to me. I'm glad your not affected by it. Truly. I sure as hell wish I wasn't. My therapist would be a little bit less richer but what the hell, y'know? He has no way of knowing who is watching his videos. Who he is reaching. I'm commenting all the way from Brazil, dude. And there are many people that watch and don't comment at all. They watch this and might even feel like shit for even feeling uncomfortable because a few hundreds of comments said "oh, your an idiot for not getting that this is a joke" because believe me, you're not the first one. So I'm super glad that it doesn't affect you. But can we all agree that entertainment is usually about colective enjoyment? I know, I know, it's not going to please everybody, but can he ATTEMPT not to tap into people's traumatizing life experiences? And, may I ad, can his audience stop shitting on others when they point out what affected them? I don't want to cancel Dylan (btw, I didn't see a single person saying in the original video saying he should be cancelled...so I don't know why some other person commented below about cancel culture wtf), I actually enjoy the vast majority of his content. I cackle at his goofiness and he does have a boish humor that is quite unique. But none of these things makes him untouchable or exempt of criticism. No content creator is. None of us are. We all fuck up. Me, you, everybody. Having trauma sucks. Hearing jokes about it sucks. Explaining this to people all the time sucks, but someone has to do it and sometimes I don't want to. For real. I'm just so fucking tired. Really really really tired of everyone making such light hearted jokes of our bodies like it's nothing. They say it like it's nothing but it doesn't feel like it's nothing when eyes are on you and you're undressed and scared. They don't know shit.
I’m a disabled woman sitting home alone, that movie didn’t scare me. I often cross the road between ‘fiction and non fiction’, even still It was stupid. You pointed out legitimate issues with the movie and those same issues are what stopped me from being sucked into it. It did not warrant 90% percent on rotten tomatoes.
I think they wanted him to react a certain way and when he didn't they got triggered people don't understand other people can have opinions too or see thing differently from them
Yeah, exactly! I kinda feel bad/sad for him that he thought he had to explain himself. I hope he doesn’t feel to “bad” about it or anything. I do thought it was interessting to hear what going inside that head of him haha. But the reason was ridiculous. Sorry i’m Dutch. Hope my english is okay haha
@@uhuhuh1966 oh agreed. I was completely serious when I said it explained everything. All this time I thought me liking horror and gory movies made me a bit of a psychopath, turns out I just see it from a different perspective. Still can't believe the biggest revelation of my life came from OOGA BOOGA lol
Your absolutely right now I completely understand his thinking now I forgot about how I was upset that he didn't appreciate the complexity of Jennifer's body but now that he explained his thinking it makes so much sense.
Yeah that was definitely a light bulb moment. I hadn't given much thought to how you watch a movie. Reminds me of when people realized we can't all visualize when we think
People calling Dylan insensitive and misogynistic like he doesn’t talk this way regarding any movie where the characters make dumb ass decisions. Making jokes about the movies he watches is literally the whole point of his channel
I’m really not going to lie… I genuinely like the jokes Dylan makes while watching the more serious movies. I have experienced some pretty traumatic stuff, and I have I wild imagination. For that exact reason, I can’t watch horror movies because I wont be able to stop thinking about it and the what- if’s for days . Hearing the jokes Dylan makes gives me a lot of comfort because it brings humor to a scary situation. Watching his horror movie commentaries are my way of watching horror movies without so much horror. Also, I understand how people way not think that these jokes are funny considering this could happen in real life, but people also have to understand that this is fiction and it is made to entertain, not to inform. If he wanted to be serious, he could just watch a documentary. All he’s doing is having fun! There is nothing wrong with that. If you don’t like his jokes, comments, or content in general, then find a different video to watch. He (hopefully) isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, so deal with it or leave.
Completely agree! I listen to a True Crime podcast hosted by two comedians exactly for the same reason, the jokes in between help me to digest the horrible crime I'm learning about. In no way do the jokes invalidate the seriousness of the crime, some people just need a little cushion to process.
I completely agree, what was the point into making her deaf if they aren’t going to include that into the film and give us her perspective? I feel the movie could’ve been so much better if they played into that more. A lot of times it feels like they only create characters with disabilities to say they have a character with a disability and get a medal for the bare minimum effort they put into it. Okay, this person can’t hear.. don’t tell me, show me. I want to experience this from their point of view, I want to know what it would really be like to be in their shoes. Hush did a really half assed attempt. “She’s deaf! Look flashing lights bc she can’t hear! See! Look!” I don’t want you to tell me!
Honestly I remember when it came out and i was like why. What tf is this scary the entire movie its basically tom and jerry and the viewer almost always knows where the killer is.
@@jiminseyesmile5055 exactly and that was one of his biggest points in his video too! Since we always knew where the invader was all the suspense was lost. I feel like if they went down the deaf/hard of hearing path with the character and saw what she saw and experienced everything from her point of view it would’ve gotten their point across a little better. Dylan had valid criticisms tbh
yea they incorporated it so well in the Quiet Place movies, and used the fact that the daughter was deaf as a way to put the audience into the situation. For example, scenes when all audio would cut out to put us in the daughter's shoes and we as the audience experience even greater thrill or horror because we see the oncoming danger while she was completely unaware. I was expecting a similar approach with this film but I don't think it was executed as well.
If you want to watch a movies that actually is really well done and has a lead character who becomes deaf and you can hear from his point of view, watch ‘Sound of Metal’. It’s really good.
I think it’s more so a character that just so happens to be deaf rather then ‘hey look! This character is deaf’. Like I just feel as though it’s not entirely important for her to be deaf, and it’s just something she is. Like when you watch a movie, a character might be gay without ever getting into any romantic situation. They just so happen to be gay. She just so happens to be deaf. I think it normalises it.
One movie that I think delves into this sort of "female perspective of horror" very well is the Invisible Man movie with Elisabeth Moss. The way it's shot, the way they use sound, everything helps you understand how terrifying the situation is for her character, and it makes you terrified in return. While I definitely think the *premise* for Hush was really fucking scary, the way they did it wasn't as much, so yk... keep up what you're doing, Dylan!
I am so proud of you for sticking up for yourself and being YOU. So many people bend when faced with criticism and I’m happy that you didn’t. Respect my dude proud of you
@@BlueberrySummertime you’re acting like the dude killed someone with a stupid crossbow while hunting them in the most unintimidating fashion… oh too soon 🤣 my bad. But in all seriousness, how do you watch TH-cam without constantly feeling butthurt if you get so easily offended by personal content.
A common sentiment that I agree with is that a serious subject matter doesn't automatically make a film good. The recent Invisible Man film does a FABULOUS job creating tension and portraying the terror women endure at the hands of abusive men in a way that a broader audience can experience. Plus with some actual shocking moments. As a woman, I didn't feel that Dylan was downplaying women's experiences or finding humor in them in and of themselves. Also as a writer, his remarks on the process were spot on. XD
Exactly! A movie can represent something important and still be poorly executed. Just cos some viewers can relate to it doesn’t stop it from being a bad movie 🤦🏽♀️. I fear home invasion as much as the next woman, but her choice to live in the middle of the woods, with minimal to no security and she even leaves her door WIDE OPEN is just dumb. I agree with his other commentary of the movie too.
I think the critiques Dylan made were all valid. He never claimed that the premise of the movie isn’t scary; he argued that the way scenes were shot and the things we were shown as a viewer reduced the impact. The argument that this is a woman’s worst nightmare are valid with the overall premise, and that’s why Dylan’s argument that the scenes when we as an audience were shown where the killer was even if the protagonist didn’t know. Those scenes would have been much more impactful if we were only shown what she saw, which he emphasized a few times in his video. Tl;dr, I didn’t get offended or think he missed the point with any of this. I think he made arguments about ways the movie could have felt more immersive and intense.
Agreed. I didn't think he was ever being dismissive about it. He was focused mainly on the technical stuff like the directing and all. I replied similarly to a comment there, and all the pissy people came for my neck lmao
I personally didn't like hush that much...I'm a big horror movie fan but it just wasn't my cup of tea...but dylan did miss some stuff in the movie that I didn't expect...like the alarm being too loud, him breathing on her neck, the wifi going out, her always seeing his location, her hallucinations(she was obviously losing blood so her becoming delirious makes sense) about the different endings... And about the jokes,I mean I get his point here saying they're only jokes but I felt the execution was way off and tbh this was definitely one of his low tier commentaries...I hate movies he liked but I still watched his videos cause they're entertaining but tbvh that video just wasn't it...and he mentioned he was a contrarion before so when he saw that 93% im sure he felt like shitting on it more which made him miss many nuances and didn't make the video very enjoyable to me But I still appreciate whatever this video had to offer if I'm being honest atleast he addressed it🤷♀️
I think the whole issue wasn’t Dylan missing the mark. It was viewers seeing a film they loved and expecting a different reaction. It happens though, people expect their beloved media to be beloved by their favourite youtubers too. It’s just sad people took it way too seriously.
Right, try criticize Lord of the Rings , Harry Potter (before joking Rowlkein fiasco), original star wars trilogy and see where that gets you. People will try to do anything to invalid ur opinion Ps love these movies
You’re allowed to have differing opinions as long as they don’t hurt anybody. Agree to disagree with that person and move on. Especially when it’s about a movie, it should not have caused this much controversy.
@@aimee-hyj 100%, though reading some the comments it did seem more like people invalidating the video and his feelings on the movie because their feelings were hurt than a genuine critique. Some people did critique it but this comment ain’t about them. Disagreeing is great, but when it turns to ‘no you’re wrong how dare you you don’t understand’ it can be a little different.
People forget that Dylan's channel is based on his risky sense of humour. Therefore the channel is called "Dylan is in Trouble" duh. If you don't get his humour, why watch.
No one was mad at his jokes. People were just pointing out the difference and his POV and how that is due to his male privilege. “Privilege” isn’t an insult.
I was worried Dylan was gonna fold and apologize for the whole video, thank god he didn’t. Everyone is just too sensitive and clearly don’t have a sense of humour lol
Me too. I don't get how these people are subscribed and don't know where Dylan stands on his morals. Dylan shouldn't have had to make this explanation video. I bet he was so stressed out when he saw all the negative reddits and comments.
@@layton6202 I get that, I do. Though again, Dylan doesn't make videos to pull out references to real life horrors and teach about the underlined meaning of plots. He's a comedy content creator. So you can't be surprised if he jokes about stuff like this. If you or anyone else is touchy about these kind of matters then just don't watch him. Dylan is a good person and he don't deserve the hate some of these people gave him.
I can’t believe that some people take Dylan seriously enough to be offended by literally anything he says... He made a literal joke about a moose invasion
The reality vs entertainment explanation is everything. I AGREE with Dylans point of view. It is the inability to make that difference that has made people do some seriously messed up things. If you’re playing COD and you shoot someone or someone kills you, you laugh about it, be it a guy or a girl, doesn’t mean that you’re going to laugh if it was happening for real. Just like we laugh when a girl destroys guys on COD we’re like yeaaaah take thaat - we wouldn’t celebrate if she was killing irl. Being able to differentiate between reality and fiction is sooo important. (No one wondered why the protagonist was so hot, or how she knew how to use a crossbow, or she was able to think about different endings in such a stressful moment… if it were me, a normal ass woman, I wouldn’t know what to do, I wouldn’t be able to use that crossbow and lord, i would be able to run for more than 20 minutes before I dropped dead from exhaustion)
I think we’re all just wired differently. I can know intellectually that’s it’s fiction - and still have an intense emotional response, as if it were real. I have to work hard to calm that response, and it’s not something I can fully control.
@@catsmom129 that is true!! And as we’re wired differently I cannot negate your experience or judge you because of it, and I’d hope the same from people! It’s a fine line I guess, but no one wants to be judged by how they’re wired regarding things like this! This being said I don’t think you’re a better or worse person because you have that reaction! Total respect 🥰
I AGREE 100% and I think this video apology is more genuine than other TH-camrs who aren't actually sorry but say sorry because they don't want to get canceled
Dylan is completely allowed to not like a movie, no matter what kind it is. It's just an opinion. There's a quote by Ricky Gervais that goes something like "How arrogant are you to think that you deserve to go through life with no one ever saying anything that you don't agree with or like." Just food for thought.
your quote is good for both sides, people are allowed to feel uncomfortable with some jokes and part of being a public figure is having to hear opinions on you. people who commented their issues with the video were mostly pretty polite.
as a woman, the movie wasnt scary. the IDEA is super scary omg, but i also did not like the movie. also if a moose and a murderer was in my house, i think id be equally afraid of them. if it was a female moose with kids.. id be more scared of the moose... have people ever seen a moose?? theyre like 10 feet tall or something and those mother meese have no mercy
My comment is random but I just saw surveillance footage about a month ago of a moose that shook off its antlers. I never knew that that could even happen. But I would definitely expect to be murdered by an animal protecting its children. At least a human I have a chance with.
So, as a female who has had legitimate reasons to be afraid of men, and freaks out when she has to stay home alone - Hush was stupid. All of Dylan's points about Maddie's poor decisions were spot on. If I go through video of myself and see a masked person in the background, IMMEDIATELY call cops AND send messages to multiple friends and family, AND grab my self-defense items AND barricade myself in a safe room. I've also seen several movies with Deaf characters that did a better job with sound. The way that Hush played it, I kept forgetting that the woman was Deaf.
I completely agree! I'm not sure about this, but it felt like the movie was made by hearing people and what they THINK it would be like being deaf in a situation like that, never actually asking someone what it's actually like. The intensity fell flat for me, even the writing fell flat for me!
Yeah after watching hush myself and then Dylan’s video I pretty much completely agreed with everything he said, it was kinda boring, they didn’t play on her deafness that well, and the movie is too predictable but tries to make it seem groundbreaking. I did however see the problems people had with Dylan’s commentary on his Jennifer’s body video because that movie is actually pretty good and has a deeper message but Dylan kinda disregarded it bc he didn’t understand the female perspective.
Yeah I think that the scariest part of the movie is not that she is a woman, but that she is a deaf person in a life or death situation where hearing would be important. I'm not deaf, so I want to experience the movie more from her point of view. Think of the deaf girl in A Quiet Place, totally different (and better) execution. I'm a woman and never thought, this is a movie for all the women out there. I'm the type that can easily mix reality and fiction, but since Dylan isn't, I completely see where his critique makes sense for him.
You're so right, people get caught up in the whole "men are scary", like yea they are, but that doesn't make the movie good! Also, I'm sorry, but the fact that she didn't notice her friend being stabbed? Ridiculous! If it happened behind her, sure, but the way it was filmed, it was at her side! So she has zero peripheral vision?
people have to understand that dylan doesn’t do profound analyses of movies, he’s there to have fun watching them, to be entertained. another reason is that he knows they’re MOVIES, they’re fictional so he won’t take them as seriously as a real life situation (unless they’re made to feel real like the blair witch project or paranormal activities in this case)
That’s fine, but it’s a movie commentary. Which means other people have interpretations. Just bc a creator has one view/ takes a movie one way doesn’t mean others can’t have their own discussions about the movie and their views!
@@amber5802 you r totally right! But some of the comments were twisting his words and calling him tone deaf. So I really appreciate him taking the time to really explain his POV to other ppl
amber no ur not right. He gets to view things in his own bc it’s his channel. Who tf r u to say his opinion is wrong just bc it’s different than his in his own platform
Dylan is very smart and self aware, that’s why his humour is on point. People need to stop taking everything so seriously and just enjoy being entertained. You don’t need to be offended by Every. Little. Thing!!!
As a woman who has been a victim of a home invasion myself I honestly found Dylan's video extremely entertaining and his critiques interesting and informative from a film making POV. The movie itself was pretty boring to me and not really that scary so Dylan's humour was entertaining and just fun to watch. Honestly his humor dulled down anything scary and made the movie feel more comfortable for me to watch. Thank you Dylan for your awesome videos, keep doing what your doing!
I agree, i'm a woman (technically a girl i'm 14) and i went through a home invasion about 4 years back and i still have ptsd from it and i liked his commentary because it sort of made light of it which was nice because i wouldn't have been able to watch the movie other wise, even with it not being that scary it still would have freaked me out. I personally thought his video was funny!
I like how Dylan put this. People perceive horror in different ways, while this is horrifying to you because you have this perspective on the situation, someone with the opposite would either be fine or just not care at all.
I personally was confused with Dylan’s reaction to Jennifer’s Body and a little bit in Hush as well. But I never took it as him being misogynistic or anything. I just always thought that he never liked to look too deep into anything and was just here to make jokes. People reading too much into this are people who can never imagine someone else’s perspective and that’s when bad things happen.
Yeah exactly, his commentary didn't feel misogynistic at all to me, it was him not really paying attention or understanding that annoyed me. Like the breath on the neck scene, he rewound yet still complained how she knew he was there. Some of his criticisms fell flat but others were great. The comments took it too far
This man got a plaque from TH-cam and had the name be ooga booga of all things and then made a channel for it Are y’all really out here thinking that the content he puts out is going to be serious? And Dylan’s views on violence against women have always been very clear (his dislike for chuck and Tyler being redeemed) Also, Dylan is criticising the direction cinematography and writing always rarely anything else
I’m actually relieved Dylan isn’t gonna stop making this dank jokes. That’s my kind of humor and I love how he pushes so much worst than I could ever thought 😂😂😂 I’m mean, in Hush, I could easily punch him for the “kill the cat” jokes, but I never doubt, even for a second, that that was just part of the entertainment on his movie commentary. Pls, don’t ever change, Dylan! 💙
Yes!!! Thank you!!! What woman living alone or not leaves doors open and literally takes absolutely no precautions for her own safety. Jesus I mean how many women hold their keys in their hands life claws just to walk to their cars. I'm not understanding how it's supposed to represent any type of realistic fear. The scary part would've been her doing everything possible to protect and defend and it still wasn't enough. That's a story
@@imperviousdonut Yess. Right off the bat I was like, mmm as a single female I can't relate cuz I sure wouldn't be living alone in the middle of the woods, doesn't sounds safe.
I’m a girl and I didn’t like the movie and found it boring. I also found Dylan’s commentary really funny. It’s not always about gender it’s just perspective. The movie didn’t scare or thrill me in any way and I get happy when people are murdered in movies too. People just view movies differently. Good job explaining Dylan!
Agh sameeee! Like just because I’m a girl doesn’t mean that I’m always afraid. And who would make a movie that would target women so they would be afraid?
Honestly, the whole "every woman can relate/feels afraid all the time" argument really pissed me off because of how they were all generalising. I mean, lots of comments were about how they lived alone and were scared every day so therefore every single woman in the world feels afraid.
@@nix_ exactly, it's a fictional story, honestly I didn't even think about her gender's role in the horror factor until the comment section. I believe any gender in that position would be scared-
I think part of the reason people were offended by Dylan's reaction to Jennifer's Body is because it's actually based on an actual criminal case where she was assaulted and left for dead for the band to "sacrifice." But Dylan was talking about the film and might be unaware of this.
I’m a women and I live alone. I wasn’t offended or frustrated with his commentary it’s just a video. I also agreed with some of his criticism. I don’t think Dylan would ever think it was funny in the real world
YES! Dylan and his humour is always like this and I found it strange that there was so much drama in the comments when there usually isn't because people usually get his jokes!
Exactly. I didn’t ever expect people to get offended at Dylan’s commentary. The situations itself in real life is terrifying, but as Dylan said, this is fiction. I see movies the same way he does (fiction is completely separate from reality for me the majority of the time) so his commentary was hilarious to me and his writing, production, direction, etc critiques were completely valid and accurate. It’s unfortunate that he got so much hate for this. Though a few comments had very profound and valid points that allowed for elaborate conversion, many of them just missed the point of Dylan’s content or intentions. Anyway, I completely agree and I hope people realize that his commentary is not to be taken so seriously.
@@redpanda6134 Exactly lol, living the situation would be scary as hell, but the movie didn't give me that feeling as I couldn't actually imagine myself in her situation, because I don't often try to do that with films because I wouldn't enjoy them as much
People forget Dylan's whole TH-cam account is based on his humour and jokes. I personally didn't like this movie and I agree with Dylan on this one. As a woman it is scary but this is a piece of fiction meant to entertain people. If you come to Dylan is in trouble or Ooga Booga for something serious you are on the wrong side of TH-cam. I am a reader and I personally love to read about stuff like fighting and violence. Just because I do enjoy to read about those topics doesn't mean I love violence or murder in real life.
Totally agree, I am a big reader too and most of what I enjoy reading, I would never condomne in real life. Fiction is fiction. Very important to have the capability to separate the fictional world from reality
The thing about Dylan’s commentary is that never once did I hear him say the SITUATION the girl was in wasn’t scary. He specifically targeted the way the film was directed and filmed, and stated that the way they showed the killer’s whereabouts all the time took the “ scary thriller” concept out. He was criticizing the film, not women’s fear. You can make a trash movie about racism, sexism or homophobia, but just because it touches on very real and important topics doesn’t make the movie any less trash. It doesn’t make it immune to criticism and one shouldn’t be called misogynistic, racist or homophobic for pointing out its flaws.
Why is no one discussing that moose are actually terrifying? They're massive! If you've never seen one, they're probably double the size you are imagining them to be. And they are pretty much invisible at night
After I watched Dylan’s commentary and looked at the comments I was so surprised. Not that any of the points brought up about it being our reality and horrifying weren’t valid but I thought - these are Dylan’s viewers , how can they not know that Dylan’s commentary is satire and know that he would never joke about serious topics like these , it’s literally fiction and it never should have got blown out of proportion
Same here. I didn't expect to see comments about his review because that's what he does, and I think that's what brings us here and what we enjoy about Dylan's commentaries. I definitely see and understand the way he separates fiction from reality, and I respect it. He completely indulges that it's fiction and he see it as such.
I think what happened was that he hit a very „sensitive“ nerve regarding a basic fear. You can know that he’s joking but still be annoyed or feel betrayed because of that. I had to remind myself that he’s only joking a few times (not as much in this commentary but it definitely happened before with similar topics).
I felt super alone in my defence of him lmao. I hate that he’s apologizing for anything, Cus I also really liked the movie and thought it was well done and it did scare the shit out of me but also, watching it a second time was a bit different Cus the shock value wore off and I was questioning things in reality. Someone actually said “well it wasn’t funny so now what” like idk go away? Go watch something you do find funny? I just stopped replying after that, Cus it’s like, I wasn’t trying to be rude but I was uncomfortable with the level of repetitive comments and the hostility and bigotry within them. I am a girl, I am disabled, and I found his commentary funny. I just find this guy funny, sometimes his humour rubs me the wrong way but I don’t let it put me in a wrong position haha. Not to mention, the second watch through was a complete different experience. It was almost annoying how it was paced and how I would handle that situation in a much different way, deaf or not. You know what movie is the same amount of scary to me no matter how many times I watch it tho? The grudge. I f***in hate that movie so much lmao but I think Dylan covering it would help me get over irrational fears by laughing at it🤷🏻♀️ I think about an undestoryable force attaching itself to me is more scary than a man walking around my house toying with me because I have actual ways of dealing with the later, I’ve even had to deal with it as a 12 year old kid when some old guy was walking around my moms old house with me my young brother (10) my young sister (6 at the time) and my older sister (14) were home alone while my mom was over an hour away at court. And that was scary as a kid, with no cell phone, only a home phone, in an unfamiliar territory Cus I wasn’t from that area I just moved there. I just can’t with some of these people, if you don’t like how he covers it just leave. Go for a walk. Get over it and stop making it a personal slight against yourself yknow (sorry for all the grammatical errors and repetitive points I have a migraine going on day 4 of existence and my eyes hurt so im kinda unfocused) In short.. what ever happened to agreeing to disagree?
From what I've seen, Dylan has no less empathy for female characters as male characters, or any characters. If he's showing the same levels of empathy no matter of the gender, I don't see the issue, and yeah, if you think everything he says in his commentaries are to be taken literally then........idk
@@mariama1735 he laughed because the movie was a wack job movie? Watching ridiculous things happen in movies is funny, even when it’s a horror movie. That doesn’t mean he’s unempathetic to women. It just means he doesn’t take FICTIONAL situations as seriously as you do
@@mariama1735 but he just explained he separates movies from reality (6:15) Ppl consume content in diferent ways. He has always been like this, since video #1. If the viewers consume movies in another way and can't relate to the way Dylan watches them, they can just go lol it's not hard to ignore videos you dont like
I never go into one of your movie commentaries expecting serious critical analysis. Your sense of humor cracks me up and your coverage of ‘Hush’ didn’t strike me (no pun intended, comment section) any differently than your other videos. It’s not you, Dylan; it’s everyone else who blew this out of proportion.
I just saw a tweet recently stating something like “the internet is the one place where well-articulated sentences still get misinterpreted. You can say ‘i like pancakes’ and someone will say ‘so you hate waffles’ ” and it’s honestly so true lol
As a female, who lives alone and has a disability, I too get scared of this scenario happening. But with that being said, I understand that Dylan was making jokes, not at the expense of someone's life, but at a movie that he didn't enjoy. It can get really frustrating when people don't know how to discern a joke about a fictional scenario and jokes at someone else expense.
Fr I think problem are reaching and trying to find something to be mad about and are probably first time watchers and don’t get his commentary or don’t get jokes in general
same I watched his commentary and the fact that he was "sexist" or crtiquing the scariness of being a deaf woman in a house with a killer didn't even cross my mind. Like he was clearly discussing camera angles and strategies.
i liked his commentary too I’m a woman and what dylan said i related to. I understand what he said and i agreed on most of it. As a woman Hush was a great film, but like what someone else wrote he did this for giggles and i’m not mad at all.
Dylan is like that one friend that you can watch movies with to make jokes and laugh at everything, even during the most serious of films. And sometimes that's awesome. I don't think there's only ONE way to enjoy a movie. Dylan, we appreciate you.
As a woman, I found this movie to be boring and lackluster. I didn’t feel any form of fear while watching this movie because it wasn’t presented well. Like Dylan said, they could have leaned more into her disability to create tension. They could have also made a villain/bad guy that had a deeper back story. It gave no indication as to why he was doing what he was doing. I’m not saying I wanted his whole life story, but a bit of reasoning would have been decent. This brings to mind the movie “Don’t Breathe”. I feel like with that movie, you could feel the tension and fear. I get a little annoyed when other people try and speak for ALL women. The “every woman fears men/ scared all the time” argument. Yes, it’s true, I’m not saying it’s not, that woman have a real fear of men. I know that I do sometimes. But the movie itself did not generate that fear or make it come across clearly. It’s not our job as viewers to put ourselves in her position, it’s the director’s, writers’, etc. job. I think Dylan made a good commentary on what was a really bland movie.
I had no idea that was meant to be a fear in the movie. I just thought it was the fear of losing a sense in a dangerous situation or a fear of home invasion. Didn’t seem to be anything specific about women and men.
@@terra_the_nightingale135 that’s true too. Movies and any type of media is open to interpretation. People in general just place their own perspective onto it and that effects how they view it. Maybe the director didn’t mean for it to be a “woman’s fear of men” type of thing, but that’s how a lot of people in the comments perceived it.
Agreed! They really needed to play with the tension more. They revealed the masked killer too quickly and then lost my attention not even halfway through. I also didn't care about any of the characters because I didn't get to know any of them for more than two seconds.
yeaa also the movie sightless shows everything from the perspective of a blind woman and after watching that i was so scared of losing any of my senses, but hush didn't do enough to make me feel scared of not being able to hear at all, and trust me i have a very strong fear of losing any of my senses, hearing, seeing, talking, etc. So if this movie wasn't able to scare ME then its really saying something. i couldn't sleep properly for two nights after watching sightless. i wasn't even scared during hush
@@lavanyailankovan Sightless is a great example of this concept done right! The way the viewer usually only saw what the main character “saw” in her mind and felt really added to the tension, especially whenever you realized something was off.
People are saying Dylan is a guy so he didn't get the movie? O.o He was actually robbed. One of his real fears is home invasion. I think no one wants to admit that the movie just wasn't great.
Subjective. If you actually watched the movie without his commentary over it and forming your opinion that way then you don’t really have a say in this 🤷♀️
@@aishulko6169 you need to gtfoh with that gatekeeping ish. 🙃 And as others have pointed out.......a lot of people who saw it when it came out, hated it. It just wasn't good. Dylan's review was the only way I could sit through it.
I did watch it when it was new and it was actually one of my favourite feel-good intros in a movie. But the rest of the story is way too predictable. The whole point of a thriller is to be thrilling in some dark way and this movie fell so short in that regard. Dylan at least made it entertaining to sit through a second time.
Tbh, as a woman who also has the bridge between fiction and real life, i didnt even think for a minute about the harassing perspective, and i personally found it funny the "run naked towards the murderer" idea. Anyway, i understand that giving it a thought, or picturing myself in that situation would be horrifying and very scary, but i feel strange to find a video where Dylan has to explain himself because people accuses him for being one way or another.
Everyone critical that he "missed the point" when they ALL missed the fucking point of his ENTIRE internet persona... Bro he's been gaslighting us that he uploads every Monday and thinks a paper clip in his nose is a thirst trap. Y'all need to learn how to deep breath and walk away if ur not into the vibe 😂
I was personally scared by the movie, but also was entertained by the commentary. I didn’t view it as a problematic video but I can see how people took it.
I’m a feminist and I didn’t find Dylan’s commentary on Hush offensive in anyway. How was this movie some brilliant message about misogyny and violence against women?! It was literally just a horror/thriller movie.
Right? Like I watched it and what it was about was a serial killer intruder and a deaf person defending themselves. I’m someone already scared of the premise of home invasions and I like the actress of the MC, but didn’t find Hush to be any sort of commentary movie at all 😂 dude just wanted to kill people.
I think people give the movie too much credit, if it wanted to be about violence against women it didn't need the mc to be deaf too. As you said, just a horror/thriller for me.
The moral of the story is, everyone sees things differently and we can’t tell people how to feel. I didn’t think the video was offensive, but I respect those that do because that was their experience of the video just as Dylan’s experience of this “horrible” movie was….his. Sending an abundance of love & positivity to you all.
Ya I agree like I’m bi but the joke seemed more like punching up at the people who are actually like that instead of being actually predatory. But it could be triggering for some people so it makes sense why he stopped it
"Dylan got to stuck on this being a horror film..." Well mate seems like someone got way to stuck on this being a serious commentary and critique of the media.
I've been saying it ever since I found the channel- watching Dylans movie commentaries is like watching a movie with a friend. Sometimes annoying and too loud friend who makes terrible jokes I still laugh at bc I, too, have a terrible sense of humour, and well, those are just jokes. and it never feels like he's serious and like. That is the point. Is it not. I don't believe anyone who says they have never made a prObLeMaTic joke while watching a serious movie 🙄 (Except the moose comment.that did seem real serious and I think Dylan here is right. Don't understate a moose)
@@hotaru7483 what about it isn't a horror film? There's blood and death and a murder trying to kill someone. They add jump scare noises and add the very little silent parts. All the thriller movies I've seen always have sound and noise and have more entertaining drama. It's a shitty horror movie
one of the main issues with this "controversy" is that Dylan has the type of sense of humour not a lot of people understand or can relate to, so they hear a joke, think its offensive then run to social media blowing it way out of proportion, when in reality it was a harmless joke. people on the internet need a damn chill pill and maybe touch some grass idk
I think it's also a case of people liking this movie too much and then hearing dylan being shocked that it got a 93% on rotten tomatoes made the people too over critical of his opinions. Many people were already angry by the time dylan made his jokes and therefore they couldn't see that what he said were jokes and not actual criticisms if that makes sense
well, he is still an entertainer online who makes a living off having an audience, so just saying "I don't care, go touch some grass" might be a good life lesson, but turning off most of the people because "not many understand my humour" is gonna hurt his channel. Plus he wouldn't have such a big audience if not a lot of people would understand or relate to his humour.
As a woman I honestly think that The female prospective of her being this scared of a normal guy who isn't a trained assassin is bullshit like if you wanted you could have easily killed him but instead the movie is literally showing women as this fragile and scaried creature AND THAT'S MISOGYNISTIC.
Yeah honestly I agreed with a lot of Dylan’s points about how the movie could’ve been shot differently to have more suspense or be scarier. Like not showing where the killer is constantly, and putting us more in her POV where the audience wouldn’t be able to hear anything. I think his critics were ok and his “sexual” jokes were just dumb regular jokes that he always makes and I think if you’re a regular part of his audience then you know that he’s just saying that light heartedly and that it’s almost an inside joke at this point that his commentary videos always have him making stupid sexual jokes because the joke is that he’s immature. Like, none of what he said was harmful or tone-deaf in my opinion
Yeah the Hush video was the first video of his where I disagreed with his overall sentiments about the film. But like you said, as a regular viewer his jokes weren't really anything new and didn't really bother me. I agreed with all of his directing notes, I just couldn't understand why they were such a deal breaker for him liking the movie or not. This video helped me understand though, so I'm glad he made it.
@@jasmine.c.g yeah same here! I actually liked Hush and i still do but if I comprare it to other Mike Flanagan works it’s definitely not my top pick. I don’t think I liked it as much to agree with 90% on rotten tomatoes. For me, it was like 7.5/10. But yeah I feel like it’s because he did mention that he would rip into the movie more at the beginning of the video and also he’s just in a room talking to himself as he reacts so the only person he’s bouncing off of is himself? Idk I find myself really hating on some things in shows or movies much more when I’m watching alone because i just stay in that negative headspace by myself lol I’m also he glad he made this video though. I think it’s helpful to understand and I’m also glad he didn’t apologize and openly said that he didn’t think he did anything wrong. I think it’s much more respectable than him giving us an disingenuous apologize to try and placate the people who were upset
Why are some of you guys immediately saying that people were trying to cancel him when even Dylan himself said that people were just trying to have a conversation? Criticism does not equate to hate. And dismissing someone’s opinion who is clearly just tryna say what they think is what your currently participating in, not fighting against. People online just having banter about how they see things exist- I believe we should let it happen from time to time
theres a difference in banter and straight up accusation though. That is what is happening in "cancel culture". Instead of people having a rational discusstion, they start assuming things with no rational or logic in sight. That is dangerous for a youtuber who does this for a living. Being percieved as mysoginistic asshole is also just a wild thing to say about someone you do not know based on SATIRE.
@@kikic.6950 but no one was tryna cancel him though lol i looked through the comments, made one myself. seems like it was all from subscribers who were trying to discuss their pov because they disagreed with a creator they like. one video that people don't like on a movie that is largely loved isn't going to ruin his career or cancel him. but the point of film commentaries is for them to give their perspective, and the point of leaving comments on is for their subscribers to discuss. there were no accusations, just theories. women who feel differently about his commentary pointing out that maybe has a different perspective because he's male isn't an accusation. nobody in the comments were starting a manhunt and wanting him to lose subs.
@@xitsCASS this is the same thing that happened with jenna marbles… no one wanted to cancel her, but ppl were screaming about cancel culture when she decided to take a break. sometimes creators have their own feelings about situations and react how they want…
I think what people are missing is the fact that yes, for a woman, it may be more terrifying to watch. HOWEVER, it is the movie's job to make the audience, no matter what gender you are, to feel scared, whether its a thriller of a horror. It is not the audience's job to find it in themselves to empathise with a character. I think a good example of this done right is Get Out- obviously the black community experienced the film differently to others, however the majority of viewers agree it was a good horror/thriller because of the quality of the film and the way the movie presents the character. In my opinion, as a young woman, this movie was not scary, simply because the quality of the dialogue, the way it was shot, the predictability of the plot did not make me scared. It honestly felt like a student project. Art is subjective. If you have a different opinion, you can have it, but don't tell people to change theirs just to match your own.
Yes! I am a woman too and this movie was not scary at all. The situation is. For sure, it's terrifying. But the film relies on just that; the situation alone being scary. The directing and editing choices didn't really add to the tension at all. Which makes this whole situation a big joke because Dylan was literally critiquing the film for failing to communicate this fear to its audience. It's like he was saying "please film, do a better job explaining this perspective to me" and now everyone is bitching that he "didn't understand her perspective." The way the film is made, the fear relies on people imagining themselves in a similar situation. It does not, however, do a good job of placing the audience in this girl's shoes for the reasons you (and Dylan) listed.
I feel like if the movie was silent the whole time with one or two moments of sound would have made a huge difference in the quality of the movie to be better
I personally didn't find it terrifying, and at no point did it make me empathize with the fears presented, because I have many fears I can relate to as a woman. If someone else had a different experience, well, we are all different, and we all have different triggers and worries. The one that I did find terrifying and thought many men wouldn't be able to see, was Roman Sionis in Birds of Prey. For one part, is not how a villain is usually portrayed in super hero movies, so it's hard to take people away from that expectation. But the whole psychotic entitled way he behaves, while at the time having mainly his money and status as his "super power" it's easier for me to relate to. When he starts to force that girl to strip, while playing it off as a joke, and everyone really going along with it at first, and then when they realize it's actually f-cked up, they do nothing about it due to self-preservation. That I found both relatable and terrifying.
The movie was bad though so it didn't feel real or scaring. THE IDEA of someone watching you and being able to get in your home is scary. But the movie didn't excute that fear well. I always know the main character will survive so if the actings not good it's boring I'm just watching it for entertainment not to get scared.
@@meganmcintosh6964Omg jinx you said what I was thinking...those people are just overreacting. Dylan is reacting to the movie...not the scenario. Home invasion by a killer is scary to anyone but the movie was lame. And that's what he was commenting on...the MOVIE.
I totally respect that whenever Dylan gets attacked or criticized he still just explain his perspective while trying to understand the criticism yet he's not just apologizing or changing his way to please people or to not lose fans i absolutely love the genuineness i see a lot of times people losing who they are to please people specially when it's their source of in come
I love how people try to unnecesarily turn movies into think pieces that are supposed to represent the experience of an underpriviledged group of people and blah blah blah. This movie was not that at all. It was the same cliche home invasion story with a defenseless women and she's alone in the woods. Its been done to death cause its an easy thriller plot, not cause its trying to point out womens fears and experiences. They made her deaf as a plot device to add some extra spice and that is it. Its just like when they made The Rock have prosthetic legs in that other movie. Because it makes it more exciting. People are ridiculous.
What people don't realise is, Dylan makes commentary on technical elements. Thinking of Hush, Dylan made comments about using different camera angles, and her deafness. Dylan however doesn't make commentary based on themes or broader social context, that's because that's not what interests Dylan. Dylan doesn't need to analyse his male perspective because, first, the film doesn't really make a commentary on gender issues, but mainly because Dylan isn't interested in making commentary based on Social issues, so there is no need for an analysis of his social position. :)
Wow Dylan, GREAT video. As an unbiased viewer I think I speak for every single person and say you explained everything so well I'm sure everyone will be happy and nobody will have a problem anymore
…..okay dylan 😭😭😭😭
idk this is kind of sus, the video was only posted a minute ago and you’ve already watched it all?
dhdbdbdjdj dylan
thanks unbiased viewer!
STOP😭😭
You know Dylan is serious when he takes of his nose ring.
omg your so right
and close his third shirt buttom...
😭
@les fede oh my gosh ikr!!!
Off* but you’re right
See I have TOO MUCH empathy when I watch movies, which is why I love watching your commentary as someone who is disconnected from it. Your absurdist humor is so entertaining to me, and helps me remove myself from being too invested in the films.
I'm the same! Seeing him not care keeps me grounded in reality and lets me watch these movies ( that I wouldn't be able to watch otherwise bcs i get so invested into the characters i have severe anxiety attacks)
Actually same
Same here!!!!
absurdist humour is my shit it’s just the funniest thing ever
this is the literal reason i watch his videos as well!!! so i can take a step out of MY reality and watch someone elses to give me a different perspective
"I'm sorry... That you're all a bunch of babies."
How hilarious would it have been if he had ended the video there lmao
I mean he’s not wrong tho, I would have loved it if he did stop it there, these people are a bunch of babies tho
I want him to upload that and cut the video right there
Thank you.... The plot was good but they didn't executed it well.... I was bored watching it.... I don't remember it as a good horror movie
@@onuhrita5009 Agree, I thought the concept had merit and potential but was disappointed - like eating a meal that wasn't nearly as good as you hope and didn't hit the spot.
I mean it’s funny cause it’s true
When Dylan is actually in trouble:
BAHAHA I CAN'T
HAHA
😂😂😂😂😂
LMAO😭😭
PLEASEEE
everyone is defending the plot of the movie without realizing Dylan was criticizing the execution of said plot in his video - not the premise itself
I think they did that on purpose because they knew they didn't really have a valid argument.
Yeah, it’s usually about the movie itself for him, not the idea/premise of it and people seem to be forgetting that
Exactlyyyy
Yes exactly! Like literally just pointing out weird camera shots that made the movie less exciting for him nothing about the premise at all
To be fair, he thought the plot was interesting and terrifying. Which is why the movie was so disappointing to him, because certain points could have put the whole audience in her shoes instead of just the people that are already in it from before they press play.
People kept saying “I think Dylan confused a horror movie and a thriller”, but I think the real problem is people confusing a movie critique/analysis and a movie commentary. Movie commentaries aren’t really supposed to be that serious, at least in my opinion anyways.
@Marti T Exactly. He's not trying to analyze movies and review it, he's just making jokes.
Exactly. Idk why people expecting anything different
yeah i agree
YES! That's what I was thinking the whole time. Humor is subjective, if you don't like someone else's humor... stop watching them. Simple as that.
exactly. take cinema sins for example
No but Dylan has a point, people will twist your word to make it fit their narrative and he handled all this really good

@@sportsnerd100 no but this is literally so funny to me bc they're eating him up over a movie, like it's a literal fiction no on gaf
@@decemberose No one was eating him up fml... Like seriously the reaction was just, "Oof, those jokes were a little rough," it wasnt that harsh. And this is how a community stays learning and growing. Do you expect us to treat Dylan like he's perfect? Are we never allowed to have thoughts about the content we're watching? I too have wondered about his stance on things based on his jokes (I don't mind the jokes, just made it unclear what he actually thinks), so its nice to know where he actually stands. I don't need to politically agree with him to watch him watch movies but it's still nice to know where he stands as a viewer and supporter
the average time before one comment begins fighting with another comment
I get all sides of the argument here definitely, personally for me I haven’t ever watched your video and taken anything to offence . I think we actually have similar humour , it’s rare seeing a creator who I find actually funny
I got both said as well, but the comments saying that Dylan didn't find the movie scary because he was a white man really made me roll my eyes as when other women stated that they didn't find the movie scary as well was labelled a pick me.🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️
That being said nobody should be complaining about the new Karen movie because as black woman it shows the struggle black people face daily. If you do complain you missed the point of the movie and your viewing it from a non black perspective /sarcasm

@@gentlemanghost5900 ٦
@@gentlemanghost5900 I mean you can’t just pick and chose what to complain about. This movie could’ve also been a real life situation for woman, meaning it can happen to any woman. I think the point is that fiction is fiction in the sense that the Karen movie is just full of fictional characters and it’s a movie meant to entertain for profit. People know the difference between the reality of the idea of this movie and the fiction of this movie. It’s not even just about “complaining” a lot of people are even making fun of the Karen movie because it’s a meme that they’re trying to make into a thriller, ya know? Im not trying to argue, I just think the point is that everyone’s opinion on a fictional movie shouldn’t be taken too seriously because they’re just saying their opinions on a fictional MOVIE, not the real life situations people go through.
I liked the Hush movie, and I also liked his commentary bc his critiques were valid and he's just so funny. So I enjoyed it still.
Right?! It was a good video
Yer I agree. I do also think he wasn't looking at from a female perspective but I'm glad he's thinking about his bias going forward. Plus it's his channel so I dunno people need to chill 🤷🏻♀️
same! it isnt about gender, its about whether ppl take fictional movies seriously or not. i don't and I enjoyed the commentary too! :D
His critiques weren’t valid, just very immature and clearly biased 🤷♀️ so

It’s kinda bullshit that he had to sit here and explain himself for just disliking a movie that other people liked
Exactly
It is not. It's important for people to get off their rage by listening to him just explain his perspective. I didn't hate him, but was not very thrilled about his "just get naked!" joke. people (especially on the internet) tend to go apeshit over the smallest things without any discussion happening between the "sides" but only "same!" and "exactly!" in the comments. I appreciate him explaining himself so we know that he does care how he came off to a group of people. I still disagree on some points, but I can see that he cares and that's the important thing.
@@marygershwin7977 I love your mature take on this. Agreeing to disagree in such a calm way.
I mean, isn't this how we want discourse to work? People had thoughts or interpretations of things he's said in the past (not just this movie) and discussing those thoughts is allowed. I didn't really see people attacking him unfairly, just voicing their takes. Him using his platform to listen and then speak about his own thoughts and feelings in turn helps us all understand each other's perspectives better and could lead to some interesting conversations... this is how a community becomes more nuanced and tolerant, listening to each other and taking each others thoughts and feelings seriously
@@TheVivaciousNerd This. Absolutely this. Thank you so much for that.
The writers really did miss the mark by making her cliche serial killer bait, a woman living in the middle of nowhere, leaving her doors open or unlocked, with no way to protect herself. Would've been more psychologically thrilling if she had taken precautions due to her circumstances and still found herself in that situation.
This right here! That's what I was saying to my friend cause she was livid I didn't like the movie. The movie literally made it seem like her being deaf meant she just was unaware of EVERYTHING. Like a whole murder happened right next to her in big glass doors and she saw nothing or looked up once till he sent her pictures. Like I can't put myself in her shoes because I'm not ignorant to the world around me. If she was an actual person with common sense and regard for her own disability, I think it would've worked better.
@@jessicahector6802 omg yes! i didn’t like the way they portrayed her as completely unaware of everything, i’m personally not deaf but a lot of people in my family, including my mom are and that’s definitely not how it works. they notice me when i come into a room or when something falls down, crashes or makes a really sudden loud noise (for example banging at a window). they notice stuff like that because deaf people focus more on their vision and feel the vibrations of things/sounds more easily since they can’t rely on their hearing. the movie really frustrated me in so many ways because of that
thats such a good point, and to me it shows that the writers themselves dont seem to care that much about women getting harrassed etc, they just used the main character as a plot device to make a scary (thriller) movie. im a woman and if i chose to live in the woods by myself, theres no way i'd leave my doors open (especially at night) and im sure im not the only one
My paranoid ass wouldn’t have been able to live there without having my guard up 24/7 and something to defend myself with readily available at every door. The fact that she took NO precautions is painfully unrealistic.
I‘m so glad you said that bc I was thinking that the whole time. I just couldn‘t put myself in her shoes at all. It‘s so unrealistic for a deaf single Women to live in the woods so far away from other people and like you said not even take precautions. I feel like it also kinda downplays real situations like these cause it makes it seem like this stuff only happend bc the women wasn‘t careful enough and didn‘t take precautions whereas in real life this stuff happens to people who did take precautions. It‘s really frustrating that people are bashing Dylan for something like this when he never even talked about real life stuff :(
“ I don’t care about the lives of fictional people”.. literally. If you’ve watched ANY of his videos, how could you not know this?
Exactly! I'm almost convinced that most of the angry comment is new people that just want to watch hush's commentary but then again that comments dylan read is from the subreddit soooo huh I thought we already know this? ;-;
For real!! Only fictional person i feel like he’s ever cared about is Chloe from Detroit Become Human 😂 and that was an Android
OMG EXACTLY. Who are these people who watch Dylan's videos but don't understand his humour? Meh.
Ppl projected their ideal person onto Dylan’s personality- that’s the only way I can explain it bc like you said no one who actually pays attention to the way Dylan makes his commentary videos - it would’ve been obvious
I was soooo stunned at the comments lmao 😂💀
Imagine watching his movie commentaries and expecting an in-depth deconstruction of movies like Hush. What do you think this is? Late Night Dylan?
Dying 😂
yeah, we definetley dont have the budget for that
late night Dylan would be the best thing that ever happend
@@geethakarthikeyan1601 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Ok....here's the thing though. A movie can be made emphasizing the experience of a marginalized group, but that doesn't automatically excuse it from criticisms. Look at something like "Get out". It was a movie based largely around the racism exhibited by "I'm not racist I love black people" kinda people, which resonated with black audiences. but it was still a cohesive story, and scary to a broader audience as well.
I'm a woman that lives alone. I'm terrified of men following me or breaking in. The concept of 'hush' is intriguing as a thriller.....but it's still a bad movie. It's just not good, and no amount of "Well you just aren't viewing it through the correct lens" is gonna save it.
@l3ulaklak l3looming I’ve had a man hide under my bed once so nah I’ll continue to be scared of men thanks. Also the only people who have followed me home and threatened me in public have been men so idk maybe there’s a pattern 🤷🏻♀️
@l3ulaklak l3looming people who are actually scared of men probably think so because theyve had bad experiences mostly or EXCLUSIVELY with them. If youve been in fearful situations with both men AND women, then you wouldnt single out just men. Also theres hardly anything sexist about that fear if it’s rooted in real experiences, and its not like the statement itself is sexist because OP didnt say men in general were scary, but that they personally are scared of men. Your comment is wack.
@l3ulaklak l3looming you can easily look up statistics and numbers of instances of violence perpetuated by men towards women. If you don’t believe the numbers then idk what else to tell you. The majority of women can probably tell you some pretty fucked up situations they’ve been in, SPECIFICALLY with men. At this point you’re just being willfully ignorant. No one is saying “all men are bad”, and I don’t fear every man on sight. However I have been assaulted in my own home by a man, and unfortunately that is now a fear I hold. There is no sexism involved.
As a black person may I ask what do you love about black people since that "I'm not racist I love black people" comment made me curious
@l3ulaklak l3looming lol sorta seems like it does matter to you 👀 Just move on.
I’m shocked that people actually took the “run naked at the killer” so seriously! I actually had to pause the video because I was laughing so hard at that joke. AND he literally addresses how ridiculous it is by flashing back to his more “credible” plans of attack. Like I really don’t know what more he could have done to emphasize it’s not about a woman being naked/sexual and just how absurd it would be for anyone to do that in the situation
Literally
Exactly
For real, same, I had milk up my nose
He did what she did in the movie, imagining possible scenarios, even the most ridiculous ones.
And to be fair to him it would totally confuse a killer cos who expects that to happen lol, some people just want to be offended
As a woman who studies production design (therefore studies the overall design and psychology of a film/theater), the way Dylan watch films is important. Dylan looks at the plot and technicality of a movie NOT the story. It's different. If example Hush was indeed about domestic violence towards women (assuming that the overall design of the film supports that idea), then that's the story. Dylan didn't touched that at all. He literally looked at how some actions/decisions were dumb, how shots could've been made differently, and other technical stuffs. I'm not saying that people are too sensitive. They are all valid. It's just that they're literally watching the film on a different lense.
@Elisa from Wii Sports if you don’t like his lense then just leave. Find another TH-camr plain and simple
I just want to say that he ignored the plot a lot as well, ignoring things that literally happen in front of his face and then contracts himself a few times throughout the reaction (not saying he has to be perfect or professional, just pointing it out)
if example
@@ghostlyexe that's basically how he reviews all of the movies
Nah, they’re being too sensitive.
I'm proud that Dylan handle this respectfully but still didn't give up his own views and won't change himself based off what other people want and feel. I love his commentary regardless of the film itself and I wouldn't want him to change it as all! Keep up the good work
Exactly!
100% agree! He’s honest and real. He won’t hide how he feels but he’s not a raging asshole when giving his opinions also. Major respect to him
And I liked how he acknowledges the real life horror that is violence against women. He didn't pull the "whataboutism" or "actually" card, he just defended his opinions & explained why he felt that way. He handled this really well imo
@@catfluff13 Exactly! He didn't react like most commentators sometimes do, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I feel horrible, I won't ever do it again". Dylan was respectful but made it clear, he IS detached when it comes to movies, please be aware of it, he watches for entertainment and that he will continue making commentary in his own way that he enjoys. I like that he's persistent and honest in whatever he says. A genuine person.
Seems to me he changed his approach after this on the videos i watched
As a female, hush was fucking trash and they made the protagonist make so many dumb decisions it literally made me mad. Disabled or not nobody would make all the mistakes she did. Why did she spend almost the entirety of the movie trying to run!? YOU LIVE IN THE WOODS WHERE ARE YOU GOING!? Yeah no i didn’t understand why everybody loved it so much
Saammmmmmmmmmeee!!!! I wish Dylan can see your comment.
Facts
As a woman I agree completely!
Also, girl just left her door open.
Anything could've walked in--not even a murderer
Exactly! I'm a woman too. Hush was a disaster. I watched it with my friends and the entire time I was yelling at the protagonist for taking the dumbest decisions possible. She was trapped in her house by a serial killer and she didn't even keep herself armed the whole time. It was just a terrible movie.
I honestly love that most people who had a problem with the commentary for whatever reason expressed their opinions very respectfully. Of course some people have to blow things out of proportion and insult Dylan which sucks, but Dylans community is mostly amazing! Most of the time Dylans commentary section is such a safe space for everyone where we just laugh and get along and that’s great! So the only comments I saw under the ‘Hush’ Video were so respectful and I highly appreciate that. I think what I wanna say is that I love this community and you guys are great :)
We are the best community!!
@@claudiaprats1999 periodt
I agree! It's quite refreshing to see people respectfully conversing, even when they disagree.

You’re great!
I, as a woman who is terrified of said event happening….. was extremely confused upon seeing the outrage of the hush video 🤣🤣🤣 I thought it was great commentary
Likewise. I live alone in a rural area. And I was like "wait what is there to address" about the commentary
Same, after watching the video and reading the comments I was so confused on why people where hating on it and bringing all these problems up. I don’t think the fear of living alone and being attacked is just a female thing. I think there are males out there that have this fear as well. And honestly as a female who watched this I completely agree with Dylan and his commentary in the hush video. People are just too sensitive about things that are said that isn’t even said to them or meant yo upset them.
Yeah, I enjoyed the video and had no idea why he was addressing something about it. Personally I felt like the video was right with the critique and humor. The whole scene with her finally using writer brain was completely out of place since it was hardly even mentioned. And the humor was great and I was even holding back some since I was in public watching it. The world sucks.
no same im paranoid all the damn time I didn't see anything wrong with it people need to know to separate reality from fiction.. like im scared of something don't need to be scared for a movie about it idk it that makes sense im dumb
SAME
I love Dylan sooo much, I'm so glad he's actually sticking to his ways and not change to please some viewers. I appreciate that he explained it for some that were affected by his comments. Personally I watched him for years now so I know his style and didn't have a single problem with it, I just figured he was kidding. I really appreciate his videos!
Well said! That’s exactly what I think as well!
Same to everything you said! I feel like if you watch him regularly, you’d know he wasn’t being serious and that this is the way he usually jokes around in his movie commentaries :))
Yes! I love that he’s not going to change because people demand it.
I’ve watch his content for a few years now too and I get his sense of humor…but I don’t agree with how hard that movie was shit on lol.
People should be allowed to take in a film however they want. The sexual assault comment was beyond strange especially since Dylan literally was pissed off in his Gossip Girl watch when Chuck, a rapist, got a redemption arc. He also hated that same trope that happened in Vampire Diaries watch with Tyler. I think we need to hold men accountable for the things they say and do, but this does not seem to be a case where something shitty happen. People don’t need to like or digest films all in the same way.
Sexual assault comment?
@@jagerbaby8628 the one about the jennifer’s body sacrifice thing, apparently dylan was laughing during that and people thought that dylan was making fun of sexual assault, even though in shows where sexual assault is an actual thing he expresses his disgust for it
@@jagerbaby8628 yeah idk either
@So and so statistically it's almost always men so
@So and so when a man gets raped it's statistically more likely to be by another male than a female
No offense, but I was not expecting to see this video at all. Like, I was not expecting people to get offended. I’ve been watching Dylan since like 2018? idk and if I would’ve wanted a serious commentary I wouldn’t be watching him for so long lol
I’m a woman too, and I get terrified of men, especially if I’m drinking, going out etc. But this was just a movie, meant to entertain in some way. I love horror movies, does that mean when I laugh at someone’s ridiculous death I’m a horrible human being who would laugh in a real life scenario? No.
Is Dylan being offensive? No.
Some people just watch movies differently.
The “art” itself is not always what the artist might be feeling at the moment. It could be just a fictional story that they wanted to write/paint or it could be something more.
Very well said. I just made a comment similar. I’ve been watching him for years now and I also never expected that this video would cause such controversy. It seems like a perfect representation of Dylan’s content and his niche. I think it was one of his best videos. I don’t understand how masses became so offended by particular comments of his in the video.
exactly
I feel the same way!
I completely agree with you. I was completely shocked. Like I watch for Dylan’s humor. It is fictional. I loved Hush but I actually also loved a lot of points that Dylan brought up. Lol I’m a woman, I’m a feminist but I’m like Dylan, I watch the movie for the entertainment not for the “real meaning” that may or may not have even been a thought when making the film.
Yeah I’m on the same page as you here
people suddenly forgeting that dylan said his channel is called dylan is in trouble cause the jokes he makes aren't really about reality and that would probably get him in trouble at some point
lmfao right
Never knew that's why he named it that. Thanks for the background.
I think he finally did it
Can’t believe that people still don’t get that Dylan is literally here for shits n giggles. Don’t take his commentaries too seriously. If you’ve been watching for long enough, you’ll know his real life views are very morally sound. People just like to take an negative idea about a person and run with it. Dylan is still my comfort TH-camr and I’m happy to see he’s standing his ground and not letting the trolls get him down
he got all defensive and childish and blabbed something about how all movies are just entertainment for him and are made to get money, even though art is literally means to change views of society and talk about important issues. He can't take criticism, very disappointing even for a 'funny guy'
Thank you
@@ChocolateMuffin308 it’s not that he cannot handle the criticism, but rather that those criticizing we’re taking him too seriously, getting so upset, that he felt the need to reiterate that this is a comedy channel.
@Elisa from Wii Sports Well, for him it can be separated and from what I read in the comments here a lot of people feel that way. Like he said, a really good film will actually make him feel like the line starts to blur. If I'm not mistaken the example he'd given was Paranormal Activity where he said that the storytelling and the way they filmed actually made him feel like it was reality. So, when he goes into a film it's divided but it depends on the film itself whether it can truly reel him in
@Elisa from Wii Sports Either way, it is his opinion. It's just a commentary and he is giving his personal opinion on how we views films. For me, reality and fiction are pretty close together, that's why I could sort of understand where the comments were coming from. But after he explained how he views movies, I'm actually ok with it since now I understand how's he watching the movie. But in all honesty I didn't think the movie was good either 🤷 (coming from a woman)
This is like getting mad at someone for not being afraid of a spider movie because you’re extremely afraid of spiders.
Perrrrfectly said
as a woman, yes, this would be terrifying in real life, the same as *any other movie that dylan makes jokes about* but is was subjectively a BAD movie- or at least not a good one. Dylan did absolutely nothing wrong, his entire channel is making light of FICTIONAL circumstances.
i honestly feel so bad for dylan rn, i hope he hasn’t let this ridiculousness get to him :(
This needs more likes.
I really agree with “same as any other movie that Dylan makes jokes about but it was subjectively a BAD movie- or at least not a good one”
The video he made and the jokes and criticisms about how things were shot had nothing to do with the movie being about a real issue. It’s no different from any other scary movie he’s made a video about.
yeah exactly people got so harsh over nothing!
He was being defensive here but he’s soaking it up well I suppose.
I doubt he will but it's kinda goes over ppl heads. Idk of these new ppl or older audience of the channel
@@hehehre7489 right it's because the horror movie leads of a girl in horrible scenario that kinda relates to real life. That makes them more critical and on the defensive
movie commentaries and movie critiques are two separate things and THATS the distinction people need to realize
Preach!!👏🏾👏🏾 I completely agree with you!
True
but Dylan does commentaries tho and he was criticising the movie
@@baebyun2914 What the person means is that while Dylan will criticize the movies he watches, the videos themselves are not critiques. He's watching these movies mostly for the first time, and it's just his first impressions. He's not diving in to them and trying to give a comprehensive critique of the movies.
@@baebyun2914 critiquing and criticising are different. A critique is like a formal review. Criticising is giving negative feedback. A commentary is a non-formal chat, so you can praise or criticise the subject in a casual way. Does it make sense now?
I feel like the people judging Dylan just don't understand him. Either they're first time viewers or they never really understood his humour to begin with. I never expect him to take anything seriously, that's WHY I watch his videos, because I know he will always come up with the most ridiculous, far fetched comments that make no sense whatsoever and that's precisely what makes me laugh. Take the "strip naked and run at the killer" comment. I, as a woman who is terrified of a home invasion, choked on my drink and laughed so hard at that. Because I'm not an idiot, I KNEW that was a joke and that he did not mean that seriously, nor did I think he was being sexist or anything. It was a joke and I found it hilarious. That's why people got so offended over it - they expected Dylan to treat this seriously. Anyone who knows him knows that isn't who he is.
totally agree! I feel like they haven't watched dylans content enough to know he isnt being serious and this is his type of humour
I’ve been a long time subscriber as well. I enjoy his humour as well and will continue to enjoy it. But I mean yeah he makes lots of misogynistic jokes. It’s okay to call it what it is. Could he shift his commentary .5% and still be just as funny? Easily. Does he need to? No, of course not. And he’ll still be just as funny. But at least let’s call a spade a spade. Some people are rightfully criticizing his jokes. Some people are taking it too far. It comes with the territory if that’s your brand of humour. 🤷♀️
Yes I feel the same way,,, this cancel culture generation literally gets on my nerves sometimes… the world isn’t against you all the time… and it’s not possible to think about how every group of people will react to a comment.
The point of comedy is to push boundaries. I’m so happy he didn’t cave and I hope he continues to make exactly the same kind of jokes. And I’m a woman. There are way too many safe comedians.
I've been following his content for years. Since the days he would comment on video clips. The thought that just because you, as woman, felt fine with a joke think it's idiotic for a woman to feel uncomfortable lacks empathy, at best. I always feel uncomfortable with any joke that might involve the thought of using my body for anything because of my trauma. I'm quite sure that that's not exclusive to women, but we have a higher percentege. Imagining to be a blind woman in that situation is worse. Joking about doesn't seem even remotely funny to me. I'm glad your not affected by it. Truly. I sure as hell wish I wasn't. My therapist would be a little bit less richer but what the hell, y'know?
He has no way of knowing who is watching his videos. Who he is reaching. I'm commenting all the way from Brazil, dude. And there are many people that watch and don't comment at all. They watch this and might even feel like shit for even feeling uncomfortable because a few hundreds of comments said "oh, your an idiot for not getting that this is a joke" because believe me, you're not the first one.
So I'm super glad that it doesn't affect you.
But can we all agree that entertainment is usually about colective enjoyment? I know, I know, it's not going to please everybody, but can he ATTEMPT not to tap into people's traumatizing life experiences? And, may I ad, can his audience stop shitting on others when they point out what affected them?
I don't want to cancel Dylan (btw, I didn't see a single person saying in the original video saying he should be cancelled...so I don't know why some other person commented below about cancel culture wtf), I actually enjoy the vast majority of his content.
I cackle at his goofiness and he does have a boish humor that is quite unique. But none of these things makes him untouchable or exempt of criticism. No content creator is. None of us are. We all fuck up. Me, you, everybody.
Having trauma sucks. Hearing jokes about it sucks. Explaining this to people all the time sucks, but someone has to do it and sometimes I don't want to. For real. I'm just so fucking tired. Really really really tired of everyone making such light hearted jokes of our bodies like it's nothing.
They say it like it's nothing but it doesn't feel like it's nothing when eyes are on you and you're undressed and scared. They don't know shit.
I’m a disabled woman sitting home alone, that movie didn’t scare me. I often cross the road between ‘fiction and non fiction’, even still It was stupid. You pointed out legitimate issues with the movie and those same issues are what stopped me from being sucked into it. It did not warrant 90% percent on rotten tomatoes.
I can't believe Dylan had to justify himself for making jokes about a movie. It's literally the point of his videos. It's what we are here for.
Exactly!
I think they wanted him to react a certain way and when he didn't they got triggered people don't understand other people can have opinions too or see thing differently from them
Exactly
Yeah, exactly! I kinda feel bad/sad for him that he thought he had to explain himself. I hope he doesn’t feel to “bad” about it or anything. I do thought it was interessting to hear what going inside that head of him haha. But the reason was ridiculous.
Sorry i’m Dutch. Hope my english is okay haha
I can believe it. (Watch "Can You Believe" by Cy Amundson lol)
His fiction and reality mindset explains EVERYTHING. Everything.
It really do though, he might’ve felt silly saying it but it was some hard facts
@@uhuhuh1966 oh agreed. I was completely serious when I said it explained everything. All this time I thought me liking horror and gory movies made me a bit of a psychopath, turns out I just see it from a different perspective. Still can't believe the biggest revelation of my life came from OOGA BOOGA lol
Your absolutely right now I completely understand his thinking now I forgot about how I was upset that he didn't appreciate the complexity of Jennifer's body but now that he explained his thinking it makes so much sense.
Yeah that was definitely a light bulb moment. I hadn't given much thought to how you watch a movie. Reminds me of when people realized we can't all visualize when we think
So true.. him explaining it makes so much sense and I will keep it in mind while watching his next react videos! /pos
People calling Dylan insensitive and misogynistic like he doesn’t talk this way regarding any movie where the characters make dumb ass decisions.
Making jokes about the movies he watches is literally the whole point of his channel
I’m really not going to lie… I genuinely like the jokes Dylan makes while watching the more serious movies. I have experienced some pretty traumatic stuff, and I have I wild imagination. For that exact reason, I can’t watch horror movies because I wont be able to stop thinking about it and the what- if’s for days . Hearing the jokes Dylan makes gives me a lot of comfort because it brings humor to a scary situation. Watching his horror movie commentaries are my way of watching horror movies without so much horror. Also, I understand how people way not think that these jokes are funny considering this could happen in real life, but people also have to understand that this is fiction and it is made to entertain, not to inform. If he wanted to be serious, he could just watch a documentary. All he’s doing is having fun! There is nothing wrong with that. If you don’t like his jokes, comments, or content in general, then find a different video to watch. He (hopefully) isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, so deal with it or leave.
I agree completely, with what you said. It helps it be funny and fun to watch, and not scared me sh*tless.
What trauma may I ask since the word gets thrown around lately
This comment deserve more likes
Completely agree! I listen to a True Crime podcast hosted by two comedians exactly for the same reason, the jokes in between help me to digest the horrible crime I'm learning about. In no way do the jokes invalidate the seriousness of the crime, some people just need a little cushion to process.
same. I can only watch scary stuff through dylan lol
I completely agree, what was the point into making her deaf if they aren’t going to include that into the film and give us her perspective? I feel the movie could’ve been so much better if they played into that more. A lot of times it feels like they only create characters with disabilities to say they have a character with a disability and get a medal for the bare minimum effort they put into it. Okay, this person can’t hear.. don’t tell me, show me. I want to experience this from their point of view, I want to know what it would really be like to be in their shoes. Hush did a really half assed attempt. “She’s deaf! Look flashing lights bc she can’t hear! See! Look!” I don’t want you to tell me!
Honestly I remember when it came out and i was like why. What tf is this scary the entire movie its basically tom and jerry and the viewer almost always knows where the killer is.
@@jiminseyesmile5055 exactly and that was one of his biggest points in his video too! Since we always knew where the invader was all the suspense was lost. I feel like if they went down the deaf/hard of hearing path with the character and saw what she saw and experienced everything from her point of view it would’ve gotten their point across a little better. Dylan had valid criticisms tbh
yea they incorporated it so well in the Quiet Place movies, and used the fact that the daughter was deaf as a way to put the audience into the situation. For example, scenes when all audio would cut out to put us in the daughter's shoes and we as the audience experience even greater thrill or horror because we see the oncoming danger while she was completely unaware. I was expecting a similar approach with this film but I don't think it was executed as well.
If you want to watch a movies that actually is really well done and has a lead character who becomes deaf and you can hear from his point of view, watch ‘Sound of Metal’. It’s really good.
I think it’s more so a character that just so happens to be deaf rather then ‘hey look! This character is deaf’. Like I just feel as though it’s not entirely important for her to be deaf, and it’s just something she is. Like when you watch a movie, a character might be gay without ever getting into any romantic situation. They just so happen to be gay. She just so happens to be deaf. I think it normalises it.
One movie that I think delves into this sort of "female perspective of horror" very well is the Invisible Man movie with Elisabeth Moss. The way it's shot, the way they use sound, everything helps you understand how terrifying the situation is for her character, and it makes you terrified in return. While I definitely think the *premise* for Hush was really fucking scary, the way they did it wasn't as much, so yk... keep up what you're doing, Dylan!
that movie is very tense, very good
That’s a great one!
LOVED that movie. Soooooo good
oohh that movie was great...much better than hush imo...
She absolutely deserves the award 💃
I am so proud of you for sticking up for yourself and being YOU. So many people bend when faced with criticism and I’m happy that you didn’t. Respect my dude proud of you
It’s only good because you agree. If he didn’t bend and his opinion was actual steaming rubbish then you would be annoyed…
@@BlueberrySummertime Yeah of course if his opinion was steaming rubbish it would be annoying, but it wasn’t.
he always does stick up for himself anyway, nothing new about that
@@BlueberrySummertime you’re acting like the dude killed someone with a stupid crossbow while hunting them in the most unintimidating fashion… oh too soon 🤣 my bad. But in all seriousness, how do you watch TH-cam without constantly feeling butthurt if you get so easily offended by personal content.
@@jamaiannesharyn no one said there was anything new about it. They said they respect it. Very different
A common sentiment that I agree with is that a serious subject matter doesn't automatically make a film good. The recent Invisible Man film does a FABULOUS job creating tension and portraying the terror women endure at the hands of abusive men in a way that a broader audience can experience. Plus with some actual shocking moments. As a woman, I didn't feel that Dylan was downplaying women's experiences or finding humor in them in and of themselves.
Also as a writer, his remarks on the process were spot on. XD
I completely agree and i can honestly say i love the new invisible man it did do this a lot better than hush
Exactly! A movie can represent something important and still be poorly executed. Just cos some viewers can relate to it doesn’t stop it from being a bad movie 🤦🏽♀️.
I fear home invasion as much as the next woman, but her choice to live in the middle of the woods, with minimal to no security and she even leaves her door WIDE OPEN is just dumb. I agree with his other commentary of the movie too.
I think the critiques Dylan made were all valid. He never claimed that the premise of the movie isn’t scary; he argued that the way scenes were shot and the things we were shown as a viewer reduced the impact. The argument that this is a woman’s worst nightmare are valid with the overall premise, and that’s why Dylan’s argument that the scenes when we as an audience were shown where the killer was even if the protagonist didn’t know. Those scenes would have been much more impactful if we were only shown what she saw, which he emphasized a few times in his video.
Tl;dr, I didn’t get offended or think he missed the point with any of this. I think he made arguments about ways the movie could have felt more immersive and intense.
couldnt have said it any better
Agreed. I didn't think he was ever being dismissive about it. He was focused mainly on the technical stuff like the directing and all. I replied similarly to a comment there, and all the pissy people came for my neck lmao
Exactly!
you took the words right out of my mouth lol
I personally didn't like hush that much...I'm a big horror movie fan but it just wasn't my cup of tea...but dylan did miss some stuff in the movie that I didn't expect...like the alarm being too loud, him breathing on her neck, the wifi going out, her always seeing his location, her hallucinations(she was obviously losing blood so her becoming delirious makes sense) about the different endings...
And about the jokes,I mean I get his point here saying they're only jokes but I felt the execution was way off and tbh this was definitely one of his low tier commentaries...I hate movies he liked but I still watched his videos cause they're entertaining but tbvh that video just wasn't it...and he mentioned he was a contrarion before so when he saw that 93% im sure he felt like shitting on it more which made him miss many nuances and didn't make the video very enjoyable to me
But I still appreciate whatever this video had to offer if I'm being honest atleast he addressed it🤷♀️
I think the whole issue wasn’t Dylan missing the mark. It was viewers seeing a film they loved and expecting a different reaction. It happens though, people expect their beloved media to be beloved by their favourite youtubers too. It’s just sad people took it way too seriously.
Right, try criticize Lord of the Rings , Harry Potter (before joking Rowlkein fiasco), original star wars trilogy and see where that gets you. People will try to do anything to invalid ur opinion
Ps love these movies
You’re allowed to have differing opinions as long as they don’t hurt anybody. Agree to disagree with that person and move on. Especially when it’s about a movie, it should not have caused this much controversy.
Exactly! I actually like Dylan’s commentary it’s genuine and he doesn’t comment what everyone thinks or repeats what everyone already posted
oh maybe people had legit comments about the video? lots of the comments criticising werent hating or mean, just disagreeing which is allowed
@@aimee-hyj 100%, though reading some the comments it did seem more like people invalidating the video and his feelings on the movie because their feelings were hurt than a genuine critique. Some people did critique it but this comment ain’t about them. Disagreeing is great, but when it turns to ‘no you’re wrong how dare you you don’t understand’ it can be a little different.
People forget that Dylan's channel is based on his risky sense of humour. Therefore the channel is called "Dylan is in Trouble" duh. If you don't get his humour, why watch.
Exactly
He doesn’t have to like something tif everyone likes it
No one was mad at his jokes. People were just pointing out the difference and his POV and how that is due to his male privilege. “Privilege” isn’t an insult.
@@mirabelarmstrong433 yes they were first bullet point right here 0:50
Exactly!
I was worried Dylan was gonna fold and apologize for the whole video, thank god he didn’t. Everyone is just too sensitive and clearly don’t have a sense of humour lol
Everyone has a sense of humour until it comes to making fun of something they like or think is wrong to joke about
Me too. I don't get how these people are subscribed and don't know where Dylan stands on his morals. Dylan shouldn't have had to make this explanation video. I bet he was so stressed out when he saw all the negative reddits and comments.
@@layton6202 I get that, I do. Though again, Dylan doesn't make videos to pull out references to real life horrors and teach about the underlined meaning of plots. He's a comedy content creator. So you can't be surprised if he jokes about stuff like this. If you or anyone else is touchy about these kind of matters then just don't watch him. Dylan is a good person and he don't deserve the hate some of these people gave him.
@@kels8872 I know I'm not saying he's wrong I agree with you he's a funny guy, my comment is targeted at the people who were complaining
yes exactly people need to chill
I can’t believe that some people take Dylan seriously enough to be offended by literally anything he says...
He made a literal joke about a moose invasion
THATS A REAL THREAT I AM AFFRONTED
Hey, moose are scary creatures!
The reality vs entertainment explanation is everything. I AGREE with Dylans point of view. It is the inability to make that difference that has made people do some seriously messed up things. If you’re playing COD and you shoot someone or someone kills you, you laugh about it, be it a guy or a girl, doesn’t mean that you’re going to laugh if it was happening for real. Just like we laugh when a girl destroys guys on COD we’re like yeaaaah take thaat - we wouldn’t celebrate if she was killing irl. Being able to differentiate between reality and fiction is sooo important. (No one wondered why the protagonist was so hot, or how she knew how to use a crossbow, or she was able to think about different endings in such a stressful moment… if it were me, a normal ass woman, I wouldn’t know what to do, I wouldn’t be able to use that crossbow and lord, i would be able to run for more than 20 minutes before I dropped dead from exhaustion)
I think we’re all just wired differently. I can know intellectually that’s it’s fiction - and still have an intense emotional response, as if it were real. I have to work hard to calm that response, and it’s not something I can fully control.
@@catsmom129 that is true!! And as we’re wired differently I cannot negate your experience or judge you because of it, and I’d hope the same from people! It’s a fine line I guess, but no one wants to be judged by how they’re wired regarding things like this! This being said I don’t think you’re a better or worse person because you have that reaction! Total respect 🥰
o.o
I AGREE 100% and I think this video apology is more genuine than other TH-camrs who aren't actually sorry but say sorry because they don't want to get canceled
@@miqueiasmota4767 totally!
Dylan is completely allowed to not like a movie, no matter what kind it is. It's just an opinion. There's a quote by Ricky Gervais that goes something like "How arrogant are you to think that you deserve to go through life with no one ever saying anything that you don't agree with or like." Just food for thought.
Damn Ricky, truer words have never been spoken. Love it
Ricky Gervais is a pretty smart dude
your quote is good for both sides, people are allowed to feel uncomfortable with some jokes and part of being a public figure is having to hear opinions on you. people who commented their issues with the video were mostly pretty polite.
@@jujuba1450 Exactly! I agree.
Agreed!
as a woman, the movie wasnt scary. the IDEA is super scary omg, but i also did not like the movie.
also if a moose and a murderer was in my house, i think id be equally afraid of them. if it was a female moose with kids.. id be more scared of the moose... have people ever seen a moose?? theyre like 10 feet tall or something and those mother meese have no mercy
My comment is random but I just saw surveillance footage about a month ago of a moose that shook off its antlers. I never knew that that could even happen. But I would definitely expect to be murdered by an animal protecting its children. At least a human I have a chance with.
So, as a female who has had legitimate reasons to be afraid of men, and freaks out when she has to stay home alone - Hush was stupid. All of Dylan's points about Maddie's poor decisions were spot on. If I go through video of myself and see a masked person in the background, IMMEDIATELY call cops AND send messages to multiple friends and family, AND grab my self-defense items AND barricade myself in a safe room.
I've also seen several movies with Deaf characters that did a better job with sound. The way that Hush played it, I kept forgetting that the woman was Deaf.
I completely agree! I'm not sure about this, but it felt like the movie was made by hearing people and what they THINK it would be like being deaf in a situation like that, never actually asking someone what it's actually like. The intensity fell flat for me, even the writing fell flat for me!
Yeah after watching hush myself and then Dylan’s video I pretty much completely agreed with everything he said, it was kinda boring, they didn’t play on her deafness that well, and the movie is too predictable but tries to make it seem groundbreaking. I did however see the problems people had with Dylan’s commentary on his Jennifer’s body video because that movie is actually pretty good and has a deeper message but Dylan kinda disregarded it bc he didn’t understand the female perspective.
I 100% agree, also, I would NEVER just leave my door open like she did
Yeah I think that the scariest part of the movie is not that she is a woman, but that she is a deaf person in a life or death situation where hearing would be important. I'm not deaf, so I want to experience the movie more from her point of view. Think of the deaf girl in A Quiet Place, totally different (and better) execution. I'm a woman and never thought, this is a movie for all the women out there. I'm the type that can easily mix reality and fiction, but since Dylan isn't, I completely see where his critique makes sense for him.
You're so right, people get caught up in the whole "men are scary", like yea they are, but that doesn't make the movie good! Also, I'm sorry, but the fact that she didn't notice her friend being stabbed? Ridiculous! If it happened behind her, sure, but the way it was filmed, it was at her side! So she has zero peripheral vision?
people have to understand that dylan doesn’t do profound analyses of movies, he’s there to have fun watching them, to be entertained. another reason is that he knows they’re MOVIES, they’re fictional so he won’t take them as seriously as a real life situation (unless they’re made to feel real like the blair witch project or paranormal activities in this case)
Thank you!
I agree! I watched the hush video and knew immediately that his jokes were not based on the real world.
That’s fine, but it’s a movie commentary. Which means other people have interpretations. Just bc a creator has one view/ takes a movie one way doesn’t mean others can’t have their own discussions about the movie and their views!
@@amber5802 you r totally right! But some of the comments were twisting his words and calling him tone deaf. So I really appreciate him taking the time to really explain his POV to other ppl
amber no ur not right. He gets to view things in his own bc it’s his channel. Who tf r u to say his opinion is wrong just bc it’s different than his in his own platform
He does have a really good point tho.. Ppl are so different and so taking movies in different ways. Shouldn't take REACTING videos too serious!
or make their own...
Dylan is very smart and self aware, that’s why his humour is on point. People need to stop taking everything so seriously and just enjoy being entertained. You don’t need to be offended by Every. Little. Thing!!!
"Is Dylan being offensive?"
~no
PERIOD.
Ahh, very proud of you Dylan for opening up this discussion! I think other TH-camrs would brush it away
As a woman who has been a victim of a home invasion myself I honestly found Dylan's video extremely entertaining and his critiques interesting and informative from a film making POV. The movie itself was pretty boring to me and not really that scary so Dylan's humour was entertaining and just fun to watch. Honestly his humor dulled down anything scary and made the movie feel more comfortable for me to watch. Thank you Dylan for your awesome videos, keep doing what your doing!
Same here! I just made a very similar comment myself.
@@NaysWays I'm sorry you had to go through it aswell. I hope you have someone you can talk to about it at home. Sending well wishes
I’m just commenting to boost this
Thankyou
I agree, i'm a woman (technically a girl i'm 14) and i went through a home invasion about 4 years back and i still have ptsd from it and i liked his commentary because it sort of made light of it which was nice because i wouldn't have been able to watch the movie other wise, even with it not being that scary it still would have freaked me out. I personally thought his video was funny!
This is actually a great distinction to draw attention to. Sometimes entertainment is just for that. It's not always metaphors and life lessons.
I like how Dylan put this. People perceive horror in different ways, while this is horrifying to you because you have this perspective on the situation, someone with the opposite would either be fine or just not care at all.
I personally was confused with Dylan’s reaction to Jennifer’s Body and a little bit in Hush as well. But I never took it as him being misogynistic or anything. I just always thought that he never liked to look too deep into anything and was just here to make jokes. People reading too much into this are people who can never imagine someone else’s perspective and that’s when bad things happen.
I think people forget his movie commentary videos were literally created for him to hate watch…
it is just fiction not a big deal
i love his videos but his commentary for hush and jennifers body annoyed me so much lol
@@libramoons I just don't understand the hate on hush. The movie was stupid as hell and I never once got a sexist vibe at all
Yeah exactly, his commentary didn't feel misogynistic at all to me, it was him not really paying attention or understanding that annoyed me. Like the breath on the neck scene, he rewound yet still complained how she knew he was there. Some of his criticisms fell flat but others were great. The comments took it too far
really impressed with the way he handled all that. Stood his ground, didn't pander, but was fairly respectful to the points people made.
I 100% agree
And was still entertaining in the response lol
This man got a plaque from TH-cam and had the name be ooga booga of all things and then made a channel for it
Are y’all really out here thinking that the content he puts out is going to be serious?
And Dylan’s views on violence against women have always been very clear (his dislike for chuck and Tyler being redeemed)
Also, Dylan is criticising the direction cinematography and writing always rarely anything else
The sexual assault thing was him not getting an allegory in a comedy movie.
I’m actually relieved Dylan isn’t gonna stop making this dank jokes. That’s my kind of humor and I love how he pushes so much worst than I could ever thought 😂😂😂
I’m mean, in Hush, I could easily punch him for the “kill the cat” jokes, but I never doubt, even for a second, that that was just part of the entertainment on his movie commentary.
Pls, don’t ever change, Dylan! 💙
my thoughts exactly! right down to the cat jokes haha
Honestly the cat jokes were the only thing I was a bit mad about because I only care about in movies are animals 😅
yeah, the cat jokes are the only thing that made me mad throughout his entire commentary lmao
77
Greystorm1619 omg me too 😂😂😂😂😂 kill a bunch of people, I don’t care! I might even enjoy it 😂😂😂 But please, don’t touch the animals! 😂😂😂
"this movie represents every woman's fear" okay, that's cool... but do it better???
Exactly lol
Yes!!! Thank you!!! What woman living alone or not leaves doors open and literally takes absolutely no precautions for her own safety. Jesus I mean how many women hold their keys in their hands life claws just to walk to their cars. I'm not understanding how it's supposed to represent any type of realistic fear. The scary part would've been her doing everything possible to protect and defend and it still wasn't enough. That's a story
@@imperviousdonut Yess. Right off the bat I was like, mmm as a single female I can't relate cuz I sure wouldn't be living alone in the middle of the woods, doesn't sounds safe.
Exactly and that’s part of the point Dylan was making as well, but SOME people have to get offended because they can’t understand
It doesn't represents EVERY WOMEN'S fear. People love to project.
I’m a girl and I didn’t like the movie and found it boring. I also found Dylan’s commentary really funny. It’s not always about gender it’s just perspective. The movie didn’t scare or thrill me in any way and I get happy when people are murdered in movies too. People just view movies differently. Good job explaining Dylan!
Completely agree
Agh sameeee! Like just because I’m a girl doesn’t mean that I’m always afraid. And who would make a movie that would target women so they would be afraid?
Honestly, the whole "every woman can relate/feels afraid all the time" argument really pissed me off because of how they were all generalising. I mean, lots of comments were about how they lived alone and were scared every day so therefore every single woman in the world feels afraid.
@@nix_ literally wanted to jump through my phone. You may be afraid but don’t say that every single woman is afraid everyday
@@nix_ exactly, it's a fictional story, honestly I didn't even think about her gender's role in the horror factor until the comment section. I believe any gender in that position would be scared-
I think part of the reason people were offended by Dylan's reaction to Jennifer's Body is because it's actually based on an actual criminal case where she was assaulted and left for dead for the band to "sacrifice." But Dylan was talking about the film and might be unaware of this.
I’m a women and I live alone. I wasn’t offended or frustrated with his commentary it’s just a video. I also agreed with some of his criticism. I don’t think Dylan would ever think it was funny in the real world
Same. People are too easily offended these days.
THANK YOU...And this is VERY CLEAR. I think these people are reaching
YES! Dylan and his humour is always like this and I found it strange that there was so much drama in the comments when there usually isn't because people usually get his jokes!
I KNOW RIGHT why was everyone so offended by this video like omg
100%
Same here with this!!
As a woman, this movie wasn't scary. The situation is.
@@kpopsquad332 you don’t care but you took the time to comment ? mhm
Exactly. I didn’t ever expect people to get offended at Dylan’s commentary. The situations itself in real life is terrifying, but as Dylan said, this is fiction. I see movies the same way he does (fiction is completely separate from reality for me the majority of the time) so his commentary was hilarious to me and his writing, production, direction, etc critiques were completely valid and accurate. It’s unfortunate that he got so much hate for this. Though a few comments had very profound and valid points that allowed for elaborate conversion, many of them just missed the point of Dylan’s content or intentions. Anyway, I completely agree and I hope people realize that his commentary is not to be taken so seriously.
Exactly! A cat making a noise outside while I'm trying to sleep got me more scared of this situation happening than this movie ever could
@@majoo9507 You say that now. If you were a deaf woman alone in the woods like the lady in the movie you'd be shitting yourself.
@@redpanda6134 Exactly lol, living the situation would be scary as hell, but the movie didn't give me that feeling as I couldn't actually imagine myself in her situation, because I don't often try to do that with films because I wouldn't enjoy them as much
People forget Dylan's whole TH-cam account is based on his humour and jokes. I personally didn't like this movie and I agree with Dylan on this one. As a woman it is scary but this is a piece of fiction meant to entertain people. If you come to Dylan is in trouble or Ooga Booga for something serious you are on the wrong side of TH-cam. I am a reader and I personally love to read about stuff like fighting and violence. Just because I do enjoy to read about those topics doesn't mean I love violence or murder in real life.
Totally agree, I am a big reader too and most of what I enjoy reading, I would never condomne in real life.
Fiction is fiction.
Very important to have the capability to separate the fictional world from reality
As a grown ass woman I need these girls to stop speaking for me.
Or men as well.
The thing about Dylan’s commentary is that never once did I hear him say the SITUATION the girl was in wasn’t scary. He specifically targeted the way the film was directed and filmed, and stated that the way they showed the killer’s whereabouts all the time took the “ scary thriller” concept out. He was criticizing the film, not women’s fear. You can make a trash movie about racism, sexism or homophobia, but just because it touches on very real and important topics doesn’t make the movie any less trash. It doesn’t make it immune to criticism and one shouldn’t be called misogynistic, racist or homophobic for pointing out its flaws.

This!!!
Sounds to me like people just wanna create issues where there are none lol
Louder!
PREACH
Why is no one discussing that moose are actually terrifying? They're massive! If you've never seen one, they're probably double the size you are imagining them to be. And they are pretty much invisible at night
Fr. Bears and Moose the Same level of scary for me…
The only valid comment.
@@helenelangaa6856 for me, it depends on the type of bear. Moose are scarier than black bears, and about the same as grizzlies for me.
arguably the scariest animal ever
Fr tho. I've only ever seen moose online so I thought they was the size of horses or smth but hell nah. Those animals are gigantic jesus christ 😂
After I watched Dylan’s commentary and looked at the comments I was so surprised. Not that any of the points brought up about it being our reality and horrifying weren’t valid but I thought - these are Dylan’s viewers , how can they not know that Dylan’s commentary is satire and know that he would never joke about serious topics like these , it’s literally fiction and it never should have got blown out of proportion
Truss I watch Dylan's video because I understand his comedy and how he veiws movies. If you don't enjoy his style of jokes don't watch his videos
you said it perfectly and that's what i was most confused about when people were getting mad in the comment section
Same here. I didn't expect to see comments about his review because that's what he does, and I think that's what brings us here and what we enjoy about Dylan's commentaries. I definitely see and understand the way he separates fiction from reality, and I respect it. He completely indulges that it's fiction and he see it as such.
I think what happened was that he hit a very „sensitive“ nerve regarding a basic fear. You can know that he’s joking but still be annoyed or feel betrayed because of that. I had to remind myself that he’s only joking a few times (not as much in this commentary but it definitely happened before with similar topics).
I felt super alone in my defence of him lmao. I hate that he’s apologizing for anything, Cus I also really liked the movie and thought it was well done and it did scare the shit out of me but also, watching it a second time was a bit different Cus the shock value wore off and I was questioning things in reality. Someone actually said “well it wasn’t funny so now what” like idk go away? Go watch something you do find funny? I just stopped replying after that, Cus it’s like, I wasn’t trying to be rude but I was uncomfortable with the level of repetitive comments and the hostility and bigotry within them. I am a girl, I am disabled, and I found his commentary funny. I just find this guy funny, sometimes his humour rubs me the wrong way but I don’t let it put me in a wrong position haha. Not to mention, the second watch through was a complete different experience. It was almost annoying how it was paced and how I would handle that situation in a much different way, deaf or not. You know what movie is the same amount of scary to me no matter how many times I watch it tho? The grudge. I f***in hate that movie so much lmao but I think Dylan covering it would help me get over irrational fears by laughing at it🤷🏻♀️ I think about an undestoryable force attaching itself to me is more scary than a man walking around my house toying with me because I have actual ways of dealing with the later, I’ve even had to deal with it as a 12 year old kid when some old guy was walking around my moms old house with me my young brother (10) my young sister (6 at the time) and my older sister (14) were home alone while my mom was over an hour away at court. And that was scary as a kid, with no cell phone, only a home phone, in an unfamiliar territory Cus I wasn’t from that area I just moved there. I just can’t with some of these people, if you don’t like how he covers it just leave. Go for a walk. Get over it and stop making it a personal slight against yourself yknow (sorry for all the grammatical errors and repetitive points I have a migraine going on day 4 of existence and my eyes hurt so im kinda unfocused)
In short.. what ever happened to agreeing to disagree?
From what I've seen, Dylan has no less empathy for female characters as male characters, or any characters. If he's showing the same levels of empathy no matter of the gender, I don't see the issue, and yeah, if you think everything he says in his commentaries are to be taken literally then........idk
@@mariama1735 dont watch it if u dont like it

@@mariama1735 he laughed because the movie was a wack job movie? Watching ridiculous things happen in movies is funny, even when it’s a horror movie. That doesn’t mean he’s unempathetic to women. It just means he doesn’t take FICTIONAL situations as seriously as you do

@@mariama1735 but he just explained he separates movies from reality (6:15) Ppl consume content in diferent ways. He has always been like this, since video #1.

I never go into one of your movie commentaries expecting serious critical analysis. Your sense of humor cracks me up and your coverage of ‘Hush’ didn’t strike me (no pun intended, comment section) any differently than your other videos. It’s not you, Dylan; it’s everyone else who blew this out of proportion.
Yessss they just didn’t understand and got offended for no reason
YEEEEES
I just saw a tweet recently stating something like “the internet is the one place where well-articulated sentences still get misinterpreted. You can say ‘i like pancakes’ and someone will say ‘so you hate waffles’ ” and it’s honestly so true lol
That's a good explanation.
@@Air00 Ain't that the truth.
I didn't think I would be replying to the single most important thing for living creatures today....
I was thinking of that too
Omg perfect example, yes!!
I really appreciate how Dylan explains his side of things and doesn't just apologize needlessly, I have a lot of respect for him
As a female, who lives alone and has a disability, I too get scared of this scenario happening. But with that being said, I understand that Dylan was making jokes, not at the expense of someone's life, but at a movie that he didn't enjoy.
It can get really frustrating when people don't know how to discern a joke about a fictional scenario and jokes at someone else expense.
Am I the only one who was confused about this whole situation and actually liked his commentary?
Fr I think problem are reaching and trying to find something to be mad about and are probably first time watchers and don’t get his commentary or don’t get jokes in general
@@Jadababyxx Yeah well, everyone has opinions.
same I watched his commentary and the fact that he was "sexist" or crtiquing the scariness of being a deaf woman in a house with a killer didn't even cross my mind. Like he was clearly discussing camera angles and strategies.
i liked his commentary too I’m a woman and what dylan said i related to. I understand what he said and i agreed on most of it. As a woman Hush was a great film, but like what someone else wrote he did this for giggles and i’m not mad at all.
Fr bruh
Dylan is like that one friend that you can watch movies with to make jokes and laugh at everything, even during the most serious of films. And sometimes that's awesome. I don't think there's only ONE way to enjoy a movie. Dylan, we appreciate you.
let me get this right- people are mad bc he didnt like a movie???
As a woman, I found this movie to be boring and lackluster. I didn’t feel any form of fear while watching this movie because it wasn’t presented well. Like Dylan said, they could have leaned more into her disability to create tension. They could have also made a villain/bad guy that had a deeper back story. It gave no indication as to why he was doing what he was doing. I’m not saying I wanted his whole life story, but a bit of reasoning would have been decent. This brings to mind the movie “Don’t Breathe”. I feel like with that movie, you could feel the tension and fear. I get a little annoyed when other people try and speak for ALL women. The “every woman fears men/ scared all the time” argument. Yes, it’s true, I’m not saying it’s not, that woman have a real fear of men. I know that I do sometimes. But the movie itself did not generate that fear or make it come across clearly. It’s not our job as viewers to put ourselves in her position, it’s the director’s, writers’, etc. job. I think Dylan made a good commentary on what was a really bland movie.
I had no idea that was meant to be a fear in the movie. I just thought it was the fear of losing a sense in a dangerous situation or a fear of home invasion. Didn’t seem to be anything specific about women and men.
@@terra_the_nightingale135 that’s true too. Movies and any type of media is open to interpretation. People in general just place their own perspective onto it and that effects how they view it. Maybe the director didn’t mean for it to be a “woman’s fear of men” type of thing, but that’s how a lot of people in the comments perceived it.
Agreed! They really needed to play with the tension more. They revealed the masked killer too quickly and then lost my attention not even halfway through. I also didn't care about any of the characters because I didn't get to know any of them for more than two seconds.
yeaa also the movie sightless shows everything from the perspective of a blind woman and after watching that i was so scared of losing any of my senses, but hush didn't do enough to make me feel scared of not being able to hear at all, and trust me i have a very strong fear of losing any of my senses, hearing, seeing, talking, etc. So if this movie wasn't able to scare ME then its really saying something. i couldn't sleep properly for two nights after watching sightless. i wasn't even scared during hush
@@lavanyailankovan Sightless is a great example of this concept done right! The way the viewer usually only saw what the main character “saw” in her mind and felt really added to the tension, especially whenever you realized something was off.
People are saying Dylan is a guy so he didn't get the movie? O.o He was actually robbed. One of his real fears is home invasion. I think no one wants to admit that the movie just wasn't great.
Subjective. If you actually watched the movie without his commentary over it and forming your opinion that way then you don’t really have a say in this 🤷♀️
@@aishulko6169 It's funny how a lot of people have watched the movie without Dylan's commentary and still hated the movie...
@@aishulko6169 I watched the movie when it came out and i gotta say that it was probably a 4/10 if not less.
@@aishulko6169 you need to gtfoh with that gatekeeping ish. 🙃
And as others have pointed out.......a lot of people who saw it when it came out, hated it. It just wasn't good. Dylan's review was the only way I could sit through it.
I did watch it when it was new and it was actually one of my favourite feel-good intros in a movie. But the rest of the story is way too predictable. The whole point of a thriller is to be thrilling in some dark way and this movie fell so short in that regard. Dylan at least made it entertaining to sit through a second time.
Tbh, as a woman who also has the bridge between fiction and real life, i didnt even think for a minute about the harassing perspective, and i personally found it funny the "run naked towards the murderer" idea. Anyway, i understand that giving it a thought, or picturing myself in that situation would be horrifying and very scary, but i feel strange to find a video where Dylan has to explain himself because people accuses him for being one way or another.
The “run naked towards the murderer” had me dying when he said that. The element of surprise 😂
I didn't think it was bad because I already had this same idea about a way to escape a murderer way before his video 🤣
Everyone critical that he "missed the point" when they ALL missed the fucking point of his ENTIRE internet persona... Bro he's been gaslighting us that he uploads every Monday and thinks a paper clip in his nose is a thirst trap. Y'all need to learn how to deep breath and walk away if ur not into the vibe 😂
I was personally scared by the movie, but also was entertained by the commentary. I didn’t view it as a problematic video but I can see how people took it.
thank you for being respectful of other people's perspectives on it rather than calling them uptight.
This!!!
I’m a feminist and I didn’t find Dylan’s commentary on Hush offensive in anyway. How was this movie some brilliant message about misogyny and violence against women?! It was literally just a horror/thriller movie.
exactlyyy
Right? Like I watched it and what it was about was a serial killer intruder and a deaf person defending themselves. I’m someone already scared of the premise of home invasions and I like the actress of the MC, but didn’t find Hush to be any sort of commentary movie at all 😂 dude just wanted to kill people.
People swear for real, Hush is just a thriller movie not a documentary lol
Exactly! And it failed to give us any idea that it was about the fear women go through irl or whatever. It was just a bad horror movie.
I think people give the movie too much credit, if it wanted to be about violence against women it didn't need the mc to be deaf too. As you said, just a horror/thriller for me.
The moral of the story is, everyone sees things differently and we can’t tell people how to feel. I didn’t think the video was offensive, but I respect those that do because that was their experience of the video just as Dylan’s experience of this “horrible” movie was….his.
Sending an abundance of love & positivity to you all.
also i understand people being uncomfortable with the lesbian kissing jokes but personally as a lesbian I could tell it was to be ridiculous.
Ya I agree like I’m bi but the joke seemed more like punching up at the people who are actually like that instead of being actually predatory. But it could be triggering for some people so it makes sense why he stopped it
"Dylan got to stuck on this being a horror film..."
Well mate seems like someone got way to stuck on this being a serious commentary and critique of the media.
I've been saying it ever since I found the channel- watching Dylans movie commentaries is like watching a movie with a friend. Sometimes annoying and too loud friend who makes terrible jokes I still laugh at bc I, too, have a terrible sense of humour, and well, those are just jokes. and it never feels like he's serious and like. That is the point. Is it not. I don't believe anyone who says they have never made a prObLeMaTic joke while watching a serious movie 🙄
(Except the moose comment.that did seem real serious and I think Dylan here is right. Don't understate a moose)
Maybe cos it’s not a horror film, uh?
@@hotaru7483 maybe cos it's not serious critique nor review, huh
@@hotaru7483 what about it isn't a horror film? There's blood and death and a murder trying to kill someone. They add jump scare noises and add the very little silent parts. All the thriller movies I've seen always have sound and noise and have more entertaining drama. It's a shitty horror movie
@@hotaru7483 then what is it?
one of the main issues with this "controversy" is that Dylan has the type of sense of humour not a lot of people understand or can relate to, so they hear a joke, think its offensive then run to social media blowing it way out of proportion, when in reality it was a harmless joke. people on the internet need a damn chill pill and maybe touch some grass idk
I think it's also a case of people liking this movie too much and then hearing dylan being shocked that it got a 93% on rotten tomatoes made the people too over critical of his opinions. Many people were already angry by the time dylan made his jokes and therefore they couldn't see that what he said were jokes and not actual criticisms if that makes sense
100 %
well, he is still an entertainer online who makes a living off having an audience, so just saying "I don't care, go touch some grass" might be a good life lesson, but turning off most of the people because "not many understand my humour" is gonna hurt his channel. Plus he wouldn't have such a big audience if not a lot of people would understand or relate to his humour.
@@marygershwin7977 i dont think he asked for career advice. If he values making the jokes he wants to make over keeping a certain audience thats fine.
@@anaespinosa5084 that was not my point though
"Films aren't real stakes for me. They're vegan."
I had to pause to literally laugh out loud 💀💀💀💀💀💀
no literally same omg
@@booblift i also really love how he doesn't give people time to process these jokes barely a second and he moves on with the conversation💀
Saman right? I love him 😂
@@samaerys LMFOAOAOA RIGHT
As a woman I honestly think that The female prospective of her being this scared of a normal guy who isn't a trained assassin is bullshit like if you wanted you could have easily killed him but instead the movie is literally showing women as this fragile and scaried creature AND THAT'S MISOGYNISTIC.
dylan w hush and marvel not naming the vid “dylan is in trouble” is the worst controversy he’ll ever get into
😭😭🤣
Yeah honestly I agreed with a lot of Dylan’s points about how the movie could’ve been shot differently to have more suspense or be scarier. Like not showing where the killer is constantly, and putting us more in her POV where the audience wouldn’t be able to hear anything. I think his critics were ok and his “sexual” jokes were just dumb regular jokes that he always makes and I think if you’re a regular part of his audience then you know that he’s just saying that light heartedly and that it’s almost an inside joke at this point that his commentary videos always have him making stupid sexual jokes because the joke is that he’s immature. Like, none of what he said was harmful or tone-deaf in my opinion
Yeah the Hush video was the first video of his where I disagreed with his overall sentiments about the film. But like you said, as a regular viewer his jokes weren't really anything new and didn't really bother me. I agreed with all of his directing notes, I just couldn't understand why they were such a deal breaker for him liking the movie or not. This video helped me understand though, so I'm glad he made it.
Agreed!!
@@jasmine.c.g yeah same here! I actually liked Hush and i still do but if I comprare it to other Mike Flanagan works it’s definitely not my top pick. I don’t think I liked it as much to agree with 90% on rotten tomatoes. For me, it was like 7.5/10. But yeah I feel like it’s because he did mention that he would rip into the movie more at the beginning of the video and also he’s just in a room talking to himself as he reacts so the only person he’s bouncing off of is himself? Idk I find myself really hating on some things in shows or movies much more when I’m watching alone because i just stay in that negative headspace by myself lol I’m also he glad he made this video though. I think it’s helpful to understand and I’m also glad he didn’t apologize and openly said that he didn’t think he did anything wrong. I think it’s much more respectable than him giving us an disingenuous apologize to try and placate the people who were upset
"films aren't real stakes fo me, they're vegan"
it took me a second to realize what he said, but when I did, oh boy the wheeze I let out-
We live a society where people gets attacked for not having the same opinion (about a fucking movie I might add) as the majority ☠️
Why are some of you guys immediately saying that people were trying to cancel him when even Dylan himself said that people were just trying to have a conversation? Criticism does not equate to hate. And dismissing someone’s opinion who is clearly just tryna say what they think is what your currently participating in, not fighting against. People online just having banter about how they see things exist- I believe we should let it happen from time to time
some people was not just making an opinion, they were twisting his comments and punishing him for that one person perspective.
theres a difference in banter and straight up accusation though. That is what is happening in "cancel culture". Instead of people having a rational discusstion, they start assuming things with no rational or logic in sight. That is dangerous for a youtuber who does this for a living. Being percieved as mysoginistic asshole is also just a wild thing to say about someone you do not know based on SATIRE.
@@kikic.6950 but no one was tryna cancel him though lol i looked through the comments, made one myself. seems like it was all from subscribers who were trying to discuss their pov because they disagreed with a creator they like. one video that people don't like on a movie that is largely loved isn't going to ruin his career or cancel him. but the point of film commentaries is for them to give their perspective, and the point of leaving comments on is for their subscribers to discuss. there were no accusations, just theories. women who feel differently about his commentary pointing out that maybe has a different perspective because he's male isn't an accusation. nobody in the comments were starting a manhunt and wanting him to lose subs.
people wiere literally calling tone deaf and twisting his words making it seem like he said something offensive
@@xitsCASS this is the same thing that happened with jenna marbles… no one wanted to cancel her, but ppl were screaming about cancel culture when she decided to take a break. sometimes creators have their own feelings about situations and react how they want…
I think what people are missing is the fact that yes, for a woman, it may be more terrifying to watch. HOWEVER, it is the movie's job to make the audience, no matter what gender you are, to feel scared, whether its a thriller of a horror. It is not the audience's job to find it in themselves to empathise with a character. I think a good example of this done right is Get Out- obviously the black community experienced the film differently to others, however the majority of viewers agree it was a good horror/thriller because of the quality of the film and the way the movie presents the character.
In my opinion, as a young woman, this movie was not scary, simply because the quality of the dialogue, the way it was shot, the predictability of the plot did not make me scared. It honestly felt like a student project. Art is subjective. If you have a different opinion, you can have it, but don't tell people to change theirs just to match your own.
Yes! I am a woman too and this movie was not scary at all. The situation is. For sure, it's terrifying. But the film relies on just that; the situation alone being scary. The directing and editing choices didn't really add to the tension at all. Which makes this whole situation a big joke because Dylan was literally critiquing the film for failing to communicate this fear to its audience. It's like he was saying "please film, do a better job explaining this perspective to me" and now everyone is bitching that he "didn't understand her perspective." The way the film is made, the fear relies on people imagining themselves in a similar situation. It does not, however, do a good job of placing the audience in this girl's shoes for the reasons you (and Dylan) listed.
I feel like if the movie was silent the whole time with one or two moments of sound would have made a huge difference in the quality of the movie to be better
I personally didn't find it terrifying, and at no point did it make me empathize with the fears presented, because I have many fears I can relate to as a woman. If someone else had a different experience, well, we are all different, and we all have different triggers and worries. The one that I did find terrifying and thought many men wouldn't be able to see, was Roman Sionis in Birds of Prey. For one part, is not how a villain is usually portrayed in super hero movies, so it's hard to take people away from that expectation. But the whole psychotic entitled way he behaves, while at the time having mainly his money and status as his "super power" it's easier for me to relate to. When he starts to force that girl to strip, while playing it off as a joke, and everyone really going along with it at first, and then when they realize it's actually f-cked up, they do nothing about it due to self-preservation. That I found both relatable and terrifying.
The movie was bad though so it didn't feel real or scaring. THE IDEA of someone watching you and being able to get in your home is scary. But the movie didn't excute that fear well. I always know the main character will survive so if the actings not good it's boring I'm just watching it for entertainment not to get scared.
@@meganmcintosh6964Omg jinx you said what I was thinking...those people are just overreacting. Dylan is reacting to the movie...not the scenario. Home invasion by a killer is scary to anyone but the movie was lame. And that's what he was commenting on...the MOVIE.
I totally respect that whenever Dylan gets attacked or criticized he still just explain his perspective while trying to understand the criticism yet he's not just apologizing or changing his way to please people or to not lose fans
i absolutely love the genuineness
i see a lot of times people losing who they are to please people specially when it's their source of in come
A wise man once said "never apologize to the mob" because sooner or later we'll have to apologize everyday
@@pelesync4851 💯💯💯
I love how people try to unnecesarily turn movies into think pieces that are supposed to represent the experience of an underpriviledged group of people and blah blah blah. This movie was not that at all. It was the same cliche home invasion story with a defenseless women and she's alone in the woods. Its been done to death cause its an easy thriller plot, not cause its trying to point out womens fears and experiences. They made her deaf as a plot device to add some extra spice and that is it. Its just like when they made The Rock have prosthetic legs in that other movie. Because it makes it more exciting. People are ridiculous.
What people don't realise is, Dylan makes commentary on technical elements. Thinking of Hush, Dylan made comments about using different camera angles, and her deafness. Dylan however doesn't make commentary based on themes or broader social context, that's because that's not what interests Dylan. Dylan doesn't need to analyse his male perspective because, first, the film doesn't really make a commentary on gender issues, but mainly because Dylan isn't interested in making commentary based on Social issues, so there is no need for an analysis of his social position. :)
