Hope this helps you out and offers some new insights! What were your thoughts and ideas around Inside? I would love to discuss! Let me know below!
Love your insights into INSIDE. Nemo-Dafoe can also be seen as "everyman" the artist, the imaginative creature/human, if not inside us all, inside many who seek... "Im going to Heaven on a hillside" --this escapes me, where is it from and ideas? The first half or so of the film he is the physical body, desperate hungry thirsty. After he breaks his body he struggles and sees to come to a balance of spirit and body a Blakean rise into a free Man and he escapes his cage. Was it liberating to see art works destroyed?
I'm so glad you did an explanation on this movie! Thank you! You answered greatly every question I had. And I agree it was definitely a good watch!
@DanielBooneSpoon1989 My pleasure! I'm so glad you enjoyed the movie because I did as well, and yes, it was most certainly a film I had to cover haha thank you so much!!
What about the blinking object when he gets knocked out by the Artist
This insight is really unique, I loved it. I just watched the movie for the survival angle, and I am left with so many things not understood and it was fun. I watched this after the experience of watching Trapped (2016/2017). You should check that movie out. I left another comment outside this thread.
A weird theory I came up with while watching was that the owner/artist had designed his home to imprison Nemo or anyone who may enter, for the purpose of making an art exhibit. I thought maybe the artist was secretly recording Nemo’s time in the house to show what happens to somebody trapped for that long. Or maybe he was trying to show the themes described in this video about the imprisonment of art. Who knows!
Dude, I thought the same exact thing.
Yes me too, it was too sketchy that there was no water at all
I thought maybe the owner was fucking with him at first because the security system locked the house but no police ever show up? I thought that was weird. He never was able to disconnect the security system, he simply disconnected the speakers producing the alarms, it would have been going off the entire time. So it was clearly an isolated security system. As for the thermostat, that could of been the guy fucking with him, but I thought it was because he fucked the security/thermostat panel. The not having any water would of simply been because the owner had it turned off when he leaves, he would of had to keep the power on keep his fish alive and the security system running. We don't really know much about the owner except that he is a pretty weird rich guy who is probably a narcissist seeing how many paintings he has of himself, and the weird dummy of himself in the hidden room. He may have left it there to scare intruders, so they wouldn't go in and find the painting. But the fact that he did hide the painting shows that he expected someone would try to steal it. Just so many things that weren't answered
That was exactly was my thoughts
Exactly with how the people kept looking into the camera and shit seemed it was gnna reveal this to be the plot in the end.
I think he is the artist, and is trapped within himself. It's a visual representation of his mind. Each painting depicts that very thing. The artist became the artwork in itself. He became his own final masterpiece.
Interesting idea. The whole movie is kind of a metaphor, maybe? The dream sequence might actually have been something in his past, when he was a part of the art scene, but people like the penthouse owner controlled what made it and what didn't. As an artist, he was trapped in somebody else's house.
I thought the same thing... that he turned the heist of the art into art.
My interpretation was that he died in the end and was finally able to "escape" which is why we dont see him actually leave. We just get the shot of the skylight
My thoughts exactly
you can see a shadow moving around in the vents so i think he actually got out
Jesus Christ, stop reading too deeply into it.
@@Cho0segoose shadows it can mean anything it can be a bird . or clouds . i think the class fell on his head or something... but theres no sound of the body falling .
@@dickriggles942 movies can have deep meanings, shutcho bitch ass up
My interpretation was that Nemo and owner somehow knew one another at the exhibit, and this was an experience Nemo needed to have (being locked away and isolated and imprisoned) to become what he always wanted. Which was to become a great artist. He was pushed beyond limits and his sacrifice was in the end - his life. Or maybe not.
Very great interpretation! Bc, I'm still trying to make out the ending. It'd been on what seemed forever( SLOW MOVIES ARE AWESOME, TOO), and it's late, late so I pour a few oz. of wine cuz ik I'm about to lay down after, and when he finally got that glass to drop, I say to myself, " If this is the end, with NO EXPLANATION, I WILL THROW THIS GLASS!" Sure enough ... but I'm grateful for you and many brilliant artists and others who just get it! And help us, who don't! #ty
Yea exactly. Except he didn’t know the owner. He aspired to be the person that he envisioned in his dream. An artist respected for his work, and a man respected as a great artist and for having a great eye for art. Instead all he ever accomplished in life was being an art thief. So that part of him needed to die in order for his true aspirations in life to be born.
My interpretation was: he didn’t actually want to leave until he left behind something that would last longer than he did: which was the art he created from the destruction of everything inside the house. Ie: the destruction of himself and rebirth as a true artist.
Great point! Doesn't his enclosure/captivity capture every artist's struggle of being cornered into a niche because it pays the bills?
If you watch all the way to the end of the credits, you can hear Nemo singing "im going to heaven on a hillside", take his last breath, then dies. Im not sure how many people actually stuck around through the credits. I went to the bathroom then heard the dude's voice lol thought someone rewinded to the last portion of it.
The parts where’s he losing it a bit and talking to himself like he’s on a cooking show while he’s hungry cracked me up. … and while he’s watching surveillance videos. Defoe was great in the role.
Stellar performance by Willem
Personally i thought the whole situation was an arranged set-up. A living art project. Actually that would've made most sense considering him - an artist - being there, no one coming home, no one visiting (for several months?), no one reacting to the fire alarm, the apartment being secured from the inside like a cell, sound proof, water sealed, enough food to push someone to the limit (with the fish tank and dog food as the final tests of limits) and a water source to be found, etc.
When the end credits rolled, i just sighed. Another artsy movie where everything is a metaphor. Unless you know all these stories and spot all the metaphors, which very few do, it's just a selfish self-mastubatory pretentions project for the writer and the director ...for them to seem deep and smart. Ps. I'm an artist myself. Ds.
i thought so too
Pls tell me you are a writer
That sums up my exact thoughts on the movie too!
Maybe the owner wanted to make a movie but doesn't want to hire actual actors lol.
Agreed
The movie did a wonderful job of making me feel like I was going mad too. When he was watching Jasmine in the stairs and she looked at the camera, I thought the same thing he did - even thinking maybe she was in on it and this was some kind of weird art installation in itself where the penthouse owner planned the entire thing in order to showcase the depravity of human psyche when trapped. Then the scene where he's watching fireworks and Jasmine is standing directly behind him, I didn't realize it was a hallucination until she walked closer to him, along with when the artist bashed his head in the sink. The whole time I couldn't help but feel there was something larger at play when really it was just the world's most sadistic security/loss prevention system ever.
Same tbh
It does still kind of feel to me like it was somehow set up by the owner of the penthouse as some sort of sick art installation, while that is not at all confirmed in the movie, I feel like it is kind of hinted at in the weirs way that the robbery goes wrong in the first place, the self portrait not being there when it was supposed to be but replaced with that weird picture. The way the camera often zooms in ominously on the penthouse owners face in the pictures.
is hard to say if all was just a coincidence or if it was a stage. I guess we the audience are not meant to know that.
@@marvinromero9299 it feels staged but prolly goes bothways
I clearly missed a lot! That said, I did think the fate of the pigeon symbolizes his own fate, so that’s where I stand on the ending.
yes, the pigeon was a mirroring of his entrapment.
@@ChannelZero1031 Even out, the pigeon was trapped and broken. As he was inside. Kinda mirroring too...
I almost expected the Art / Home owner to have been watching Nemo with all the other Elites wagering if he'd escape or not, and if so how soon. Great movie and explained video.
I actually really like that idea (ofc if it were executed tastefully). It actually ties really well into the major themes of the film symbolically. Props to you, and thank you!!
I'd have hated it if that was how the movie played out...If it was made into a Hollywood blockbuster that would have been the storyline I'm sure...
@@paulfellowes4879 that would be better
I would have loved an end credit scene of the owner returning to find what Nemo has done, the art pieces he left could have become valuable
the owner is dead
@@cosmic52208how
At the beginning of the movie, art becomes chaos. At the end, chaos becomes art.
So true. Towards the end you can see shots of each room that he habited at some point (the messy bedroom, the bathroom full of shit, dirty kitchen, broken glass, etc). Then we see him dead on his own little hillside. It’s so symbolic, just like art. The messy bedroom was my favorite.
I think it was about him seeking salvation (knowing that he is dying being he says this aloud), through repentance, and about the judgement of whether or not, he is a good person worthy to enter heaven. He ultimately realizes that life is more important than art, or worldly things. He needed to destroy almost everything in the penthouse, and deface paintings to learn that lesson. The scene where Jasmine trys to seduce him but he doesn't touch her represent him overcoming physical temptation. When he threw down the painting of the man in duct-tape, that symbolized him denouncing his false idol - Art. He overcame the temptation of greed when left the most valuable paintings, instead of stealing them. After cleansing his sins in a water baptism, and also overcoming the temptations of lust, idoltry, and greed he finally is able to reach heaven, represented by the skylight.
Also, i think the hottub water represented a water baptism or a cleansing. Before we are baptized, we must come to believe that we are sinners in need of salvation (Romans 3:23).
I knew this movie was more than just a thief trapped “INSIDE” your breakdown was spot on!
Thank you so much! Yeah the "cat, CD, sketchbook" quote in the trailer confirmed for me that this would be something unique and deeper than simply an escape thriller. So glad you liked the video, thanks so much for watching!
I viewed the "dream" of the owner as an IRL recollection of the thief; in which the owner was aware of the thief's intentions, and welcomed him knowing an attempt on the premises would enevitably ensue. As such I thought the owner prepared his penthouse in such a way as to prevent any escape once a break in was attempted; knowing that a divinely unique macabre scene would await his return, should he ever decide to..
To me I think he did end up leaving. I’m not sure but it looked like a shadow going up higher into the light fixture. Like all art, it’s always up to the individual to interpret it how they think. Beautiful movie.
I wanted to believe that too but he was too malnourished and injured. He could barely climb up the ladder much less climb through the skylight.
A lot to contemplate on from the first watch I see why people didn’t give it the praise most likely cause they thought they were getting another movie but I really enjoyed the message and motifs shown in the film. Breathtaking performance form every little mannerism to the emotion displayed though his body language Willem Dafoe well done legend. Greta video you gave me a lot of insight.
Thank you so much! I agree, Willem Dafoe is always magnificent, and yeah this movie is one of those movies that needs to be given time to breathe before coming to a conclusion the quality. No matter what, I always admire a unique and ambitious effort.
One of the better-represented dream sequences I've seen in a movie (which is weird to say but it nailed that dream-feel so well)
Bit random but I still think the most perfectly depicted dream scenes were in the sopranos ,I dream a lot and felt like the sopranos scenes were the most accurate
@@evanmunro7026everyone dreams a lot bro lol
Great breakdown of this movie. Many artist as you say get lost in the realities we create hoping others will begin to understand it and live in it as well. I read a book called the mastery of love that spoke on we're all on worlds and we relate to others based on the similarities of out worlds. Art lives forever even when the artist dies, new dreamers are born and find old worlds for inspiration and life.
No.
People are not safe "in a society that already protects us"; the indoor Fort is the subconscious expression of this knowledge, not paranoia.
The veneer of civilization is very thin, and Dafoe depicts this very well in his base behaviour.
His destruction of the apartment, and his stripping back to his fundamental needs, is a prescient warning that the "world" we have created for ourselves is artificial, transient, and stifling.
I wholeheartedly agree.
When I saw that picture of the ppl in the stairs I thought of it as in “we’re all waiting to go somewhere yet we’re not goin anywhere…” great movie 👏🏽
Nemo was set up by Number 3 under the orders of The Artist. Number 3 stalled him in a room with no art and then gave him a malfunction code that does not make sense as leaving the area would be a more logical choice when a plan goes off script. The Artist is depicted as The Devil to show how far and horrible an artist would become for the sake of their art, in this case trapping the a man inside a cage, let them suffer and fall to madness, then use the scene as art.
It's all pretentious trash.
There's no need for symbolism. It doesn't even explain anything profound.
It's like writing a complex and intricate poem about the fact that killing is bad.
are you sure that the interaction with the owner was a dream? I thought it was a flashback of Nemo casing the place before breaking in. The fact that he knew where the self portrait should be, knew that her name was Jasmine, and knew that the owner was in Kazakhstan made me think that he'd been in the penthouse before
This is also a totally fair interpretation, it’s great! I wouldn’t say my answers are entirely the correct ones (it’s all subjective), my answers were just how I saw the film symbolically based on my research on the filmmakers and the art pieces that were in the movie. But I really like how you see it as well, it’s a great angle!
I don’t think jasmine would have been there though
Good catch.
@@ms.l3392 She doesn't speak because we don't know her voice. Same as Dafoe. I also thinks that was a memory in the gallery.
Then how do you explain the sudden role change of Jasmine from a maid to a upper-class lady if it wasn't just a dream? Also, he didn't know where's the self portrait at first, he just found it accidentally when looking up in the closet.
Just watched inside w my grandma and now watching this and it’s made us enjoy the movie even more then we did ! Good job sir
My pleasure, this is so nice to hear! I'm jealous that you get to watch psychological thrillers with your grandma haha (I'm sure she loves that) and I'm thrilled you both enjoyed the movie and the video, it means a lot! Thank you!!
I think worth mentioning are all the little cool parts they tied in with his paranoia. The owner saying “I’ll catch you later”. Also. the part of Macarena saying “he was out of town and his two friends were fine”. The owner was out of town and Nemo’s friends were safe from the house and police. The temperature part probably ties into the art interpretation and the climate of art. Never being quite right for Nemo. I just watched it, but may watch it again to catch more.
Great analysis. I thought as his madness went crazier and crazier, and his collection of drawings would be the next showcase for the owners exhibit. The whole time, I thought he was being watched and experimented with. Very artistic movie. I am very happy with reading other viewers' perspectives on it.
Thank you. Very meaningful explanations.
Thank you!! So happy to hear they’re insightful!
Lucas, thanks for sharing you're discerning habilities!! Keep going!!
This movie shook me, most of the part went above my head and I loved the survival angle of the story and storytelling, the symbolism. Thanks to @Lucas Blue, i learned about the escaping the constant need of validation, acceptance and I am beginning to reflect that symbolism and fact. I am suffering with this similar thing for a long time and recently I have acknowledged it. I need to work on myself now, I want to escape the prison created by my mind.
I was so happy when he knocked down the tape man because I also felt bad for the tape man lol. Also in my opinion he totally died at the end and that final scene was symbolizing him going to the light
The film lost me at the fact that if an alarm is going off for the initial break in or the fire sprinklers.. NO ONE would be notified to check it out
!?!?
The words above the picture of people piling up he wrote The World. At that same time, he's not on the tower of art he made because he did make it out. Or above but out as the glass was the only thing to fall. Very artistic film with him turning all his suffering into living art.
Yes I have same interpretation
What a great movie, just saw it yesterday and I knew there was so much to take in from the structure he made and all the references towards art in the movie. You definitely broke it down and made it more clear!
Where did you see it? I couldn't find it anywhere
@@Scorpion-di8sj it wasn’t a big draw so it had a limited release in theatres, here in Toronto it was only in the major cinemas for a couple weeks and is only being shown in independent cinemas.
brilliant , brilliant synopsis. this movie and its themes resonated with me and i found compelling to say the very least
I loved this movie. One of the strangest feelings I’ve ever had walking out of the theater. This video is amazing, thank you for articulating its subliminal themes.
So glad the video was fulfilling, and yes I was also a little puzzled too leaving the theatre but also really enjoyed it just like you. I hope to see it again soon now that it's on vod. And thank you so much for your kind words, it means a lot!!
Another excellent video!
Thank you so much again! It means so much!!
Thank you for this !
At the beginning I was hoping he would get out with the artwork, but when he was leaving his DNA all over the place I figured he was done for. I thought the movie would conclude to something sinister such as he was the artist creating the art by destroying another's art and creating his own through survival. When he found the fake dead body in that hidden room from the closet, it seemed like a creepy place for a home. That's when it seemed staged. At some point I thought the entire building and staff may have been in on it.
Thank you for explaining this movie!
Totally my pleasure! Thank you for watching!!
Nice analysis. This channel would grow.
Such a Needed breakdown 🤝
Kudos to You
Thank you so much my friend, so glad you like it!
This movie is about you being trapped inside the matrix
- The household item (that rise him towards the Top for a possible escape & freedom)
- The airplane escalator (he wrote : “The world “ on top of it) shows the echelon (level/ranking) of people walking also towards the Top
Nice perspective! I would venture to mention that the Apartment is a larger metaphor for being trapped in a failing body, as they progressively show his body fading, bruised, and broken. In trying to "escape" his suffering he produces works of art. As soon as I saw the fish in that tank I thought "someone would have to come take care of those fish", no? Which leads me to believe it was all a larger experiment by the owner. I know he was up high enough to turn the screws, but the final structure didn't seem close enough for him to crawl out? (could be wrong about that). And even though they portray a shadowy movement in the escape hatch, I suppose my interpretation is that he did not make it out. Love when a movie can cause this kind of discussion! Thought the same about Under the Silver Lake with Andrew Garfield 💜
Respect.What a great actor!!!!!❤
Great video. I loved the movie. My take on the ending was that just like art, the ending is to be interpreted by the audience. I actually believe the movie ends with him jumping off the stack of furniture, as you he is never seen climbing up out of the celing opening. Also, he is humming a tune over and over as if preparing to die.
Thank you!! And yeah it's totally subjective, I think everyone's gonna leave the theatre with something slightly different in mind. I like your interpretation though, he may have realized he doesn't want to escape at the moment that he finally could. Thanks so much for watching!
I thought the same thing at first, but then the glass to the skylight dropped to the floor. Also, I wouldn't want to fall from that again as he likely would've just broken more bones dying an agonizing long death. I assumed he would've gathered items to make a rope and hang himself, and I didn't see any evidence of that.
In the last scene you can see a shadow moving
Great insight!
Thank you!!
i thought this would also be a summary of the movie but it's an analysis. Cool. Guess you want us to watch the movie
Yeah usually a general summary naturally occurs within my videos but their mainly meant for people who would like a more in-depth look into the film. Thank you for watching!!
Great video, it helped a lot :) way better than most superficial "xyz Explained" videos from others
Thank you haha I feel you, I'm not big on the summary explained videos either, you'll always get a deep-dive here. Thank you for watching!!
@@lucasblue20 I just found your channel through "Inside", now I have watched at least 10 videos back to back and am subscribed :) Great quality, keep it up
@@dr_buschy wow thank you, this is so fulfilling to hear! I’ll keep the uploads coming, and feel free to request whatever. Thank you again, my friend!
Maybe you want to have a look at Infinity Pool. It's not as abstract as other movies you covered but still speaks to some interesting topics and is very well crafted.
Absolutely remarkable godlike concept ❤️🔥
amazing analysis
Thank you, Lucas! Waiting for your essay on Infinity pool (2023)
Yeah I was so eager to cover Infinity Pool but I was devastated when I found out it wasn't available theatrically in my city. I see now that it's on VOD so I'll check it out and try to find some space to upload a breakdown. Thank you for letting me know!
I see it as interpretation, either he did escape and the heaven like light symbolizes him escaping, or it can be he falls to his death and is now ascending to heaven, the song he sings while unscrewing the last screw can be foreshadowing that he did in fact die, love films with ambiguous endings in my opinion, so really its up to the viewer to assume what happens
This was a really insightful video 👍
Great explanation! I really liked this movie but I felt like I was missing a lot. Your video makes me like the movie even more.
Thank you so much my friend! So glad you could find more appreciation for it though the video, it’s really fulfilling to hear!
I was missing a lot myself. The whole film felt easy to understand, which made me feel there was something missing. A lot of metaphors I got distracted from. The premise was too simple, it was a little hard for me to pick out the symbols. The pigeon is definitely one of them. That one was easy.
It needed a chase scene and more characters.
After watching this interpretation, I think I need to see the film one more time. ❤
i was lost but now that you explained it it makes sense now
Uhhh… brilliant! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Omg, thank you so much!
Très belle analyse. Bravo. Very complete. All this knowledge missing was a gap for me. I fell this movie is great but, how? Very, very helpfull .Thanks you.
My pleasure, it was fun to create so it means a lot that you enjoyed it! Thank you so much!!
As usual, your brilliance turns a film that I initially felt lukewarm (pun not intended) about into a more elevated experience. Thank you
My pleasure! So glad I could offer a new angle, there’s so much to take in and so much to uncover, I’m learning new things about it still. Thanks so much for watching!!
Beautifully made film, if a little too heavy on the symbolism. I was kind of confused why this film went down this psychological process for Dafoe's character, but then thought the meaning behind everything was a little overplayed. The film was a little long in some scenes. It felt like it could have been a lot more light hearted and inquisitive. I guess I should have watched the trailer.
Great analysis.
Thank you!!
Ok just finished watching the movie 5 min ago. My questions are did he really escape and if so where did he escape to? Because it didn’t show him physical going up the shaft and even if he made it to the rooftop or outside then what? He can’t fly and he has no way to get down to ground level. Unless I’m missing something. Oh yeah and if he ever survives and finds #3 he needs to kick his ass(or kill) for leaving him and not having the correct access codes to the security system.
I actually enjoyed the movie alot. Very well done explanation!
great explainer
So glad you liked it, thank you!!
Best part was the Pyramid track by radiohead during end credits
You are reading my mind! This is the next film on my list to see. So good you’re back! We missed you!
Yeah as soon as I saw the trailer, I knew I was watching it and making a video. I’m glad to be back too! Thank you so much for always keeping up, it means a lot!!
I can’t believe you watched this video before watching the movie, Gina. I know you will still enjoy it, but it would’ve been better for you going into the movie without knowing anything about it, as I had.
This video was a really great analysis of the film.
I don’t think we can draw any conclusion other than that he escaped. There were no clues of his death.
But, throughout, I assumed the ending would reveal this entire experience was an elaborate ruse, a construction of ‘art’ in and of itself. That the process was recorded, and the ‘exhibits’ Nemo created were ‘art,’ as well. Because: it seems unimaginable that the alarms did not alert police, building security, or the owner. The flooded home did not leak to units below, or notify the fire department. Both are ridiculous. One does not construct a fortress-a safe repository for valuable art like that without provision for alerting responders.
I think he died at the end. The fish in the fish tank is the same type that Dafoe voiced in Finding Nemo. I think the scene where he takes it out of the tank, and you see it taking its last breaths is foreshadowing his death. Also, there is some more dialogue near the end of the credits that may be worth listening to.
*Thanks for this analysis, it makes everything more "clear".* 👍
*The real prison isn't really the apartment in itself, or in other situations, a lifestyle, but rather a state of mind, a philosophy which slowly destroy everything from the inside, hence the necessity to free yourself from this abyss and rise above.*
*I really loved the movie, it's slow, it takes it's time to show each moments of weakness and delusions, but also survival and hope, it's a very clever modern "castaway" movie with a very good acting from Willem Dafoe at his best.*
I love the comparison to Cast Away, and I agree with every single word you said about the movie symbolically and technically. I'm super glad you enjoyed the video and could add some great points in your comment. Thank you!!
@@lucasblue20 👍🙂
Dude, this is insufferable and the symbolism is not really a ground-breaking revelation.
I'd be interested to hear your views on the movie Mr. Nobody. It's a really surreal movie, and based on the videos you have been making thus far, it seems right up your alley!
It really does seem up my alley, I just looked it up haha I'm adding it to my Classic Explained poll list. Thank you!!
Ty I had to come here for the ending plz
Nice analysis :) I agree with you on the weird religion wall & his furniture structure - but have you considered the possibility of some of his other "exhibitions' he made during the film? ie: His big pile of fesces. To me that in itself is an artwork he created, symbolizing the disgusting and scummy side of his character (him being a thief an all). Or you could even dissect the structure of household items as a representation of his craftiness and organizational skills. Would be interested in your thoughts :)
I expected this film would have a deeper meaning so i watched this before hand now ill check out the film 🔥
Hope you enjoy!!
Oh gosh, thank you for this video! I loved the film, but I'm a layman when it comes to art and I know that the film was full of symbolism.🙌
Thank you so much for this. I just came back from watching this film and had so many questions. Thank you for breaking it down. A very unique film. I have much more appreciation and understanding of this film after watching your video. Thank you.
This is so great to hear! I’m super glad you could find new light in the film after the video, it’s a fascinating movie. Thank you so much for watching!!
Nemo went thru summer, winter, rainy and new year àll by himself.
Great interpretation!
Thank you!!
i had the feeling they set him up to be in there... i also had the feelipng they always watched him... all the explanations just theories.. i wonder what the producer +creator would say...
Excellent movie! Beautiful analysis. The men going up the stairs to nothing......was that the picture taken during the fall of Afghanistan?
What's up with the "Eye of Horus" that he draws on the wall?
You provide the best cinematic insights on TH-cam! Can’t wait for more
Wow haha thank you! There are a lot of creators, so to hear that i can be considered among the best means so much to me, thank you so much!
Man you are the only one talking about this movie like this
He did climb into the light fixture at the end. You see light move within the light fixture as the camera zoomed in. Nothing else would’ve caused that.
Some other symbolism in relation with ''the marriage of heaven and hell'' could be the temperature situation going through high heat (hell) and reaching peace and heaven progressively. Another thing that crossed my mind: Was the AC/Dc cd ''higway to hell''?
good one! polar opposites.. the whole movie is so darn weird. If I didn't love Da Foe I wouldn't have bothered watching it past the first 20 minutes max. Curiosity drives me to watch things even if they annoy me but Da Foe kept me watching even if it made no sense. I wouldn't watch it again as it is a one time watch kind of movie but it kept me on the edge of my seat either from suspense or from pure rage from the things that just could NOT be realistic.
Great explanation. I regret giving this a 2½.
The whole thing was basically art itself just a sick more twisted version of itself this movie weirded the hell out of me good though
I'm glad I've seen it, but I would not watch it a second time lol
In the dream sequence, the house owner talks about "The puppet". I frankly love your interpretation, but I think that he's the puppet. He's the living embodiment of a freaky piece of art.
His last act was to climb to hang himself, ending up like a puppet on a string, setting himself free.
Personally, i had a feeling Nemo was the artist and owner of the house, either had dementia or went full crazy, and just turned himself into his own prisoner. I mean he mentions so many things about art (yeah he was an art thief theoretically) but he had a different thing for art as we see him create so many things while being trapped.
I like this theory 👌
Damn dude, this theory has me thinking
*That wouldn’t make sense tho, because why would he be stealing from his own house? And why would maintenance not hear the fire alarm??? It would make more sense if Nemo was a test subject and his insanity was an experiment planned by the original owner. I think the owner may have been Agent #3 in disguise since they kept telling Nemo they needed that painting then disappeared when Nemo needed help!*
nah
I thought this as well. Otherwise, why would a art thief randomly go crazy? I too think he was the owner/artist that had some sort of mental breakdown. There is even one point in the movie in a moment of clarity he recognizes himself in the bottom left corner of one of the paintings on the wall and is taken aback.
So you're sure he escapes to the roof at the end? I thought he died.
I mean when people are dying there’s the “ don’t go into the light” saying. And at the end he literally went into the light while on the brink of death. So who knows if he died or made it out
How long was he in there
great analysis. i didn’t like the movie but this video makes me want to
Thank you so much!!
Well the way I saw it was don't break in and steal and Maybe you won't die cause at anytime you do wrong it comes back twice
Lmfaoooooo.
no this film was a "be better art thieves" message :P
If you haven’t already done so, please cover Alex Garland’s MEN
Yeah, this year I'm gonna try to make room for some of the conceptual films I missed last year. I'll surely have Men on the list. Thank you!
So did he die and what we saw of him escaping was is spirit?
Stunning insights
I knew this movie would have a lot of symbolism but I couldn't even decipher 1 the whole film lol
My interpretation was: he didn’t actually want to leave until he left behind something that would last longer than he did: which was the art he created from the destruction of everything inside the house.
i thought that the furniture tower was akin to the tower of babel. i usually don't get these things.
Thank you
My pleasure, thank you!!
