- This is a supercut project about The Leftovers, Damon Lindelof's and Tom Perrotta's stunnig drama.
Fourth "episode" about the last scene of S3 ep 3 and S3 ep 8.
I wanted to show how these two scenes were similar in the images but also in the speeches and in the characters involved, that's why I had to cut and re-edit some part of the scenes.
Links between the three seasons of The Leftovers are sometimes obvious, sometimes much more subtle, so if you have some ideas of scenes that are linked or developped in resonance, let me know in the comments ! - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
I'm downright embarrassed that I never noticed that symmetry myself.
Just watched the show for the first time and I missed ALOT of things lol
Me too. I knew something was up but not what with the location in dining rooms.
Dude, this is amazing. I always wondered why they put so much time into grace's backstory. Makes sense now. Damn, I love this Show.
Thank you !! ❤ I love this show so much too...
The way Grace's story was delivered was perfect and unexpected. I think it was necessary, too, as it helped to show the extent to which people may pursue something, a sense of meaning, when grieving, no matter how impossible.
Mindblowing I’ve never made the connection between the two...best tv series
The stories we tell ourselves all too often, so very accurately depicted in this meticulously constructed narrative, provided by such extraordinary gifted storytellers. The Leftovers is without a doubt the most underrated TV series of the last decade.
Thank you very much for your keen eye and wonderfully edited video, Jonas Fontaine. I tip my hat to you sir!
is this implying that Nora was lying?
The acting is so brilliant.
Maybe the scene when Kevin first knocks at Nora's door to invite her a drink in season 1, and the last episode When he knocks to invite her to the "dance"
So many of us are the same in different places in time
Wow, this is so great! Thanks for putting this together.
Justin Norman thank you !! 😊
Thanks for putting this together. I just watched and rewatched The Leftovers for the first time in the past month or so. I love it.
This is amazing cinematography. Fuck Black Panther these guys need an Academy (Thanks Jonas)
Beautifully done! Great edition here, really subtle
This is amazing
Thank you !!
Thank You ! This is so Awesome !
George Clooney You're welcome, it's a pleasure :)
Thank you
You're welcome ! :)
This is awesome! I'm wondering how you got the music to cut out? Was there a version you got that didn't have the soundtrack playing behind it?
John T thank you !! yes, I found a multitrack version, so I could cut the music :)
Incredible! Fantastic!!
Adri Cap Thank you so much..!!
That’s CRAZY
My heart. It's a Mattlib.
Whoa
holy shit
Holy shit
Quick question. I can’t find the answer anywhere. So if Nora really went to the other place then how did she get back? Is it just the assumption that if they have the technology on earth that they would in the other place as well? Thanks for putting this together. It was awesome! Definitely in my top three shows ever. Maybe my very favorite.
Actually Nora explained that the creator of the device that send her in the other place lived there, and built another device to send her back to the world of the 2% (she asked him to, because she thought she didn't belong in this other place where her family was happy and together).
It's in a part of the final monologue that I cut.
Anyway, thanks for your comment !!
@@jonasfontaine648 hmmm. I don’t remember that and I’ve seen the series at least 6 times but there is a lot you can miss. The show is so amazing and dense that you really have to sink your teeth in. Been awhile since I’ve seen it though. I’m planning on starting fresh again. It’s such a beautiful piece of art. But it’s difficult to watch sometimes. Maybe a little heavy right now. My Loved ones are dropping like flies. I don’t mean to sound cruel about it. It is fucking cruel though. So that’s part of me coming back to the show. I’m looking for answers too. When the show came out I hadn’t experienced very much loss. It still affected me deeply. Now it’s different. I’m a little scared to watch it now. Scared to tap into that abyss on purpose. Maybe I’m crazy. I think I just hate that people die too soon. Dj was found in the water. David either died in hospital or took his own life. There is little information about it...it’s pretty recent and shrouded in mystery. My brother chuck, cancer took him. Scott, the love of my life since 16 (that’s 26 years)
currently terminally ill. End stage liver disease. PRAYING for transplant but I’m sure you know it’s not easy to obtain one. Watching him suffer has broken me. But I can’t show it to him. I must be strong for him. Strong enough to make him smile until...So, yeah, I relate to the show. I’m searching for something, anything to get answers. I won’t find them. You didn’t want to know all that. But now it’s here in cyberspace forever. It doesn’t matter. Maybe nothing does. Hope you are well. Stay safe ❤️
@@kassandrakid9440 Yes it is a very difficult but also very beautiful show... And it may help us to feel better about those we lost. I hope you're well too, despite everything. Stay safe too
Ok je dois vraiment voir la saison 3
Mael Mouret Sans blague

What does this all this mean? What makes sense? Why are you guys so happy that this was put together?
Anindit Karmakar omg that’s what I’m saying. Am I missing something?
The timing and the pacing pattern of each camera cut and how the scenes are constructed is methodical, it's like the signature of the editor. Nothing mysterious about this... sorry to burst your bubble there.
No, Aramaxes, if you worked in film industry, you would know that this is done on purpose. The edit is not only similirar, but the shots, the angle, lighting, close-up, ... This is not a coincidence, not a signature of the editor
Both of them needed answers. This kind of implies that Nora is telling the truth. After all the doubt from people that claimed she killed her kids and what not she searched for her kids and got answers unlike the old woman. Although I could also see the opposite, the old woman didn’t consider looking so she lost her kids, while Nora did search for her kids and found nothing (it’s just a story) but the fact that Kevin does believe her gives her humanity back and faith.
Grace made up a story to convince herself that there was a meaning behind her children disappearing, and Kevin Garvey Sr. told her he believed her story.
The exact matching of the editing and blocking implies that Nora also made up the story about going to an alternate dimension in order to make peace with the fact that she will never be with her children again, and Kevin Garvey Jr. is similarly lying to her that he believes her.
Nice. If directed by the same person makes sense. Or they style mandated by show runner
Thank you ! Yes it is the same director (Mimi Leder)
Worlds most frustrating show
watta...
Are you trying to say that Nora's story is'nt true?
ssonh3 I don't really know in fact... But I think it remains a story she tells (to herself and to Kevin) : we don't have any proofs, any images, just her speech.
Even if it's the truth it remains words. It's subjective
It obviously isn't true. If that scientist created a machine in the other world that could send people to 98% world there is ZERO chance that nobody else would want to use it.
but none of the 98% knows about it, the possibility and based on how Nora told the story the scientist doesn't have the intention to make everyone coming back (maybe because he is already with his family or departed and doesn't care about the rest)
Sorry, Nora's story makes no sense.
If the machine's inventor cared enough about Nora's predicament to make another just for her, he would have made it even earlier for others in "2% World" who left all their loved ones in "98% World" (according to the show, the vast majority of Departures). Heck, as a scientist he'd be happy to send people back just to prove the skeptics wrong and win a Nobel Prize. In fact, if they could get the transit cost down to the price of a plane ticket, for example (at $20,000 per person it's already cheaper than space travel), humanity would have a whole new planet to populate, and a whole new technology for (possibly) exploring the stars.
As the title of this video implies, the women in each scene are telling themselves comforting stories to cover their grief; one believes in the Rapture, one in a duplicate Earth. Nora's story is actually better, because it doesn't leave any inconvenient bodies to trip over.
MrBlack1968 No one wanted to go back when they arrived duh! Furthermore people in that world wouldn't trust his machine to go into it without any proof for all they knew the machine was vaporizing them into mush. Lastly producers and writers have said she did go back they thought it was awesome that some people have doubts about what happened thats cool its what ever you want it to be... look at the flat earther movement we have today not true but fun to hear em justify it believe what you want kid as long you're not going to physically hurt people.
🤭😐
Actually it's not a coincidence. It's a type of scene that is kind of overused in cinematic history the timing and the pacing pattern of each camera cut and how the scenes are constructed is methodical it's the signature of the editor.
Yex, of course, you're right, but there is also a lot of diegetic elements that are similar (the cup of tea, the set -the panoramic windows-, the story they tell, the link btw the characters -Kevin Sr = Kevin Jr......)
And these two scenes are at the very end of an episode, as a closure, so I don't think that the similarities are just due to my editing and to the directing, I think that Damon Lindelof really thought those two scenes as a diptych...
But its beyound editor. The sets and shots are framed the same. Director Mimi in on it.
When Nora was describing the part where she saw her children, she said she saw a girl "maybe eleven". Wouldn't she know exactly the age of her daughter? Why would she say "maybe". Unless... whoa, was she talking about seeing Eleven from Stranger Things??
Gom Tiles ahaha who knows ?!!
she said that "at first I didnt recognize them" and describes the boy and the girl she saw... then she understood they were her children.
and to boy would be wel
