Damn. I still remember watching your Treasure Planet video and you hadn't even broken 20k yet I think. Now you're at 120+, I can't wait till you smash that 1 million mark my dude. You put out such high quality videos that it'll happen in no time.
Hey Bread, I just really want to take the time to truly thank you for making these videos. I have always been a fan of analysis and essays on just about anything, and just hearing you narrate your points so vividly and clearly really has made me just want to be able to analyze things like you do. I've seen every single one of your videos (not really hard since you only have a handful lol), and I have enjoyed them all. I really enjoy your content and I can't wait for you to upload more and more. Cheers, Ryan
I've been watching your videos for some time now! But after all this time, it's only just occurred to me that the cadences' in which you speak with are very similar to Ken Nordines' beat poetry, and that, is very cool! Love your work. x
After watching your videos I start to appreciate nuance more and more when it comes to storytelling. I hope that when I start to put work that I've made into the light that they will reflect that appreciation you are helping to cultivate.
You don't just make videos. Your love and passion for film comes from a deeply philosophical soul. You not only convey this through your understanding of the material literally, but also through your emotional intonation and spiritual expression of it. You create art, and I'm amazed every time I get to see it.
And this... Is where a Bug Life... First begins... to Mirror... Kurosawa's... Masterpiece. Those... Deliberate... Painstaking... Pauses... Really ... Make you... Sound.............. Deep.
There is a fire you put into me. A hope that I can make these characters I oh so love come true. It’ll be a perilous journey but I have a meaningless message that will be shared to the world. I can do it.
It’d be real cool if u did a video on spirited away. I dunno what per se. Like it’s literally the wizard of OZ but better? I dunno maybe i should do this and actually put my english degree to work lol
I don't know why but I just love the way the music is muted like its being played in a different room, something about it was just so soothing. I just wanna curl up and fall asleep but I'm to busy listening to you talk smart about movies.
I'd just like to let you home boys know that my boy Bread has taken your seven thousand comments into consideration and has rethought the way he verbally paces himself. So peep his new stuff and listen for improvement before addin to the hellfire that's been roastin his poor ass.
Kudos for getting the Shakespeare quote right at the beginning. People always misquote that and say "name" instead of "word." And as an aside, Toy Story's plot is very similar to that of Jim Henson's The Christmas Toy (and Secret Life of Pets, which came later.)
I thought it was more "The Three Amigos" + "The Seven Samurai," primarily because the so-called Warriors are under the impression they are there for entertainment, rather than as hired muscle. It's only after the reality sets in, and after a pep-talk that the circus bugs do what they can to fight for the ants. The samurai, though, always knew how to fight, and had every intention of doing so once they were making their way to the village. The same goes for "The Magnificent Seven."
Yes, it's a clear bit by bit evolution. The Magnificent Seven is the Seven Samurai in the old west. The Three Amigos is essentially the Magnificent Seven with the heroes not understanding what they were hired for. A Bugs Life Is the Three Amigos. With bugs
Your work is extremely addictive and is at the same time frustrating for the amount of content you have produced. I'm in love with the friendly yet official tone of the audible essays, it puts me to thought and process. You, keep this up.
Jon Favreau if you want more stuff like this, i would recommend Nerdwriter1 and Tom Scott. They both do wonderful explanatory videos, although Nerdwriter1 is much more similar to this type of content. Happy searching!
It's incredible how many things have been inspired by Akira Kurosawa and Seven Samurai, and it's a tragedy how few people know about him or have watched his movies. As a YA, I'll keep trying to spread awareness to my generation.
Kurosawa is a literal legend in film making. He's not some obscure creator that needs to be given their time in the sun. That's why he gets ripped off constantly lol. You don't rip off garbage lol
dude come on Kurosawa is one of the most famous filmmakers of all time, most people know him without even having seen any of his movies, let alone the amount of casual, to nerdy film fans that watch his stuff or cite his influences, let alone filmmakers themselves that always mention him. This isn't 1920s-1950s black-and-white movies we're talking about that next to no young people have seen. He has probably the most popular black-and-white movies by far. Please, don't sound like a pretentious film buff.
@@GuineaPigEveryday "Please, don't sound like a pretentious film buff." Ironically, I think you've done exactly that. So much vitriol for a 5 year old comment. I have an opinion and an experience with something and you insult me for it because it doesn't perfectly correspond with your own. I'm glad that those around you seem to know about Kurosawa, but please don't act as if your experience is that of everyone else. I've never met a single person in my home town that recognized his name when I asked them about it. That is a fact, and that is why I made my comment. I'll continue to spread awareness of his works, even if that somehow makes me pretentious, because I think film history should be revered, not forgotten, and it brings happiness and connections to those in my life.
Just because you live in the sticks where everyone is stupid, doesn't mean culture and the world at large doesn't no of Kurosawa. ask any film student and they know him. ask any Japanese or east Asian person and they will know him. ask anyone interested in Japanese culture, they will know him. you mistake experience for facts. I live in a small town where everyone is a uncultured ignorant American, for the most part. so what? I'm not an idiot like you who believes that their town represents the majority of cultural awareness, I understand where I come from and I understand culture. you are the epitome of a pretentious pompous fool. again, my intention isn't one of hate or insult. It is simply stating a fact, as I once was, ignorant like you.@@Khepriem
As a kid, I always had a bit of trouble understanding Bug's Life. I didn't think it was all that unique compared to other Pixar films. This analysis made me realize that it was indeed a masterpiece with it's imagery and it's referencing Seven Samurai. I will definitely watch Seven Samurai in order to grasp what inspired Pixar to make the film.
Arthur Kachberuni couldn't agree more. The misplaced pauses in dialog are so irritating. Also, at times I feel like there are too many redundancies. Saying the same thing three different ways, each time attempting to sound more eloquent than the time before.
I took Japanese Cinema in college 11 years ago, and when we watched Seven Samurai, our teacher made sure to point out that ending to us. Your interpretation about the samurai being the real victims really reminded me of that class from oh so long ago!
Okay so I've been on a plane for 14 hours, the last 3 have not had AC. I just landed at home and nearly cried when I got the notification for this video
I really like the content of the video, but I think you should cool it with the "video essay voice," if you know what I mean. It often sounds like you're surprised by what you're saying as you're saying it.
@@zenzin7725 I mean... it is legitimate criticism. The "pausing at every few words" thing should be well timed and not overused. I think he can tone it down without too much trouble.
Pausing for dramatic effect is neat and all, but when it happens for nearly the entire 30 minute video I couldn't help but start subconsciously rolling my eyes. Everything in moderation and all that.
I 100% agree. When you try to make everything dramatic with a pause, nothing actually ends up feeling dramatic. It should be used with care, not for every other line. EDIT: I'm an idiot and I didn't realize this comment is already a year old lol
dude, you have to, stop....with...the ellipsis on.every.... couple, .of words! I know it's supposed to be for dramatic emphasis but it's WAAAAAY too much in this video!
Ya Boi Solzhenitsyn. Yes, the entire plot is deeply rooted in early westerns. In fact, the concept of Samurai being a heroic figure for the lowest rungs of society was probably notable to the films Japanese viewers.
honestly i love his pausing, it works great with his narration of his videos and is calming as hell, its honestly what brought me to his channel, i think the best one by far was the treasure planet, and the pausing actually pulled me further in to what he was saying and caused me to listen more and more, its calming to me at least lmao.
I very much liked this video. Got my sub. But you pause at the end of every second sentence I swear. Personally it makes it very hard to listen to. Really does break up the commentary and lessens the impact from something profound or intresting that DOES deserve a pause. Writing is great but improved speaking could make it feel even better.
Great video, though it becomes very difficult to stay invested when you keep... drawing... out... your sentences. I know it may be for clear enunciation and emphasis, but it stops having a beneficial effect when... you... use... it all the time. No joke, I almost put this in 1.25x or even 1.5x speed because it felt that slow. Very interesting points nonetheless
The way you pause randomly in the middle of sentences - in an attempt to lend them a sense of significance, I suppose? - gets really distracting after a while. It sounds like you're trying to emulate Nerdwriter but going way too far, like you're doing a satirical exaggerated impression of video essay narration. Which is a shame, because everything else is pretty great.
Video after video, you really make me think and you end them on such a strong note. There isn't just a comparison, but a -lesson- and I think that's most important. II can't wait to see more! Sharing this with my friends.
Track 1: Blue Magic - Chasing Rainbows Track 2:"Intro": Kocky - Share Love Track 3: The Stylistics - Betcha By Golly Wow These were the only three I was able to find. :/ Hope this helps
Your content is incredible. Specifically, your intonation in your voiceovers is unbelievable. Having done voice recording briefly, trust me when I say I understand how much work must go into getting that perfect take. Keep doing what you do, and thank you.
Your line reading can be a bit too slow at times. I k know you're doing them on purpose, but it almost comes off as you're making sure you're going over the 10 minute mark (even though this script, unless you're reading super fast, ain't gonna be done in 10 minutes anyways, plus that'll present an opposite problem). Other than that, rather enjoyable video dude.
Actually, the use of the word literally as a way to exaggerate something is recognized by Merriam-Webster. Language evolves over time, if everybody uses a word wrong then the people who use it correctly are in the minority.
The definition didn't change, it was added to. Also, you actually COULD use "figuratively" in the place of "literally". Except, whereas using "literally" ironically has an exaggerating effect using "figuratively" ironically would have a diminishing effect. I could say (btw I'm not attempting to make this political this is just the first example that came to mind) Donald Trump is figuratively the president and that would imply that, although he is literally the president, his position might as well be figurative for one reason or another. At the end of the day if you understand what anyone means by using a particular turn of phrase then it doesn't matter if they use it incorrectly. Ironically, that's how figurative speech works.
You never disappoint my dude, appreciate the work and thought you put into your videos and also the unique topics you cover. You make thirty minutes on TH-cam actually fulfilling. So ya all that said thanks for what you do.
Nice, love both films so much. I never noticed the connection by the two until now, thanks man. Your videos are always insightful nuggets of knowledge from my favorite medium.
Honestly and undeniably really fantastic and though provoking continent, but not every line has to be delivered...with such...slow...delivery. I understand its emphatic, but only sparingly, and ive noticed its over usage has become a trope with video essayists. But believe me dude, you really are talented at what you do and your content really does speak for itself and i really dont want to see you fall into the same brand of generic delivery that so many essayists have fell into nowadays. Sorry for the negativity, and i really hope you keep up the good work!
Listen Breadsword - I think you make great content - except you try to hard to sound like Nerdwriter, slowing down your words towards the end of certain sentences. You do it too much and it starts to sound very annoying.
dude you assume that he is trying to sound that way. you seem weird to me man. you think nerdwriter was the first to do it? nah, just first for you to hear. someone can say the same thing to your "nerdwriter" god
RIP Shinobu Hasimoto interesting you released this just after he passed I can't wait to properly watch it after my exam today, always good to see a new video
I'll never forget watching Seven Samuari for the 1st time & thinking, "wait, A Bug's Life homaged this!!!". Then I began to notice that every movie ever made has homaged/ripped off Seven Samurai.
Is it weird that I don't want you to be a full time TH-camr? It might sound selfish but the amount of thought and time you put into your work would be countered by the amount of videos you have to put out just to maintain a certain income. I have seen the quality of some channels go down because they think that they love what they do so much but in the end they get tired of that love and move away to something else just to get more money. I love this channel and how the videos are deep and have much thought into them but all that would be lost if you work on it every day. As I was growing up I was told "Don't do what you love, do what you can live with" and I see what they mean. If you do what you love then it is like putting all your wood into the fire, it becomes nothing but ash and the fire is gone. The passion leaves you, and you find a different love. I do love this channel and I hope that if you do become a full time TH-camr that you make sure that you don't burn out. I respect what you do with your life but I would just want thought I should give a bit of advice.
It's exausting cause he lets all of his points sink into your head by giving all of his sentences room to breathe in the essay. This is the kind of person who is easy to learn from because he isnt putting too much in a sentence before letting you hear it.
With his choice of words (like 'Talking cool") and the way he speaks, it's pretty clear he's trying to sound intellectual, grandiose, and is probably emulating someone who's much more entertaining to listen to.
I actually asked someone who worked on A Bug’s Life about the film’s inspiration and he said that the movie was originally more of a remake of Seven Samurai and the original title of the film was “Seven Bugs”. The original version stayed more close to the original movie in terms of its story, but when they decided that the film would be about circus bugs that were mistaken for warriors instead, that lead to them changing the title. He pretty much said that Pixar in no way were hiding that they were making an animated remake of or loosely based on Seven Samurai.
My niggy, I really like your content, but can you please.... not.... draw out...... *your* *sentences* .... Still a great video though, I really enjoyed it. Keep it up.
It's often said that there is no such thing as originality. And that saying is right. Nothing is original, because someone has done/said/achieved that thing many times before. But it isn't the goal that is supposed to be original, it's really how you achieve that goal and/or how you represent it that can be original. Take Game of Thrones for example (the tv show), it's a series of stories that connect through being a political epic, but yet is actually a story about a great kingdom in peril, being torn apart by false kings and corrupt soldiers, while waiting for the return of the rightful ruler who will bring peace. We saw how that comes to be in season 1, with the deaths of Robert and Ned sparking the war, as they were the two people holding it all together. In seasons 2 & 3, we see the war and how it's affecting everybody. Seasons 4 & 5 deal in the aftermath of that war. But seasons 6 & 7 are about recovering and rebuilding. And while we know nothing about season 8, I highly expect that someone will take the throne and usher in a new era of peace, restarting the cycle once more. We've seen this story retold many times over, but what makes it feel like something we haven't seen before on a first viewing is actually how it's represented and told to us. Everything is fine and well, until things go bad. We see the hurt and turmoil from a perspective that sinks in, allowing for us to feel what the characters feel. And every time it gets worse, we long for that peace and happiness that we felt at the beginning. Even the person who will usher in a new area of peace is kept hidden, until the very end. That's what separates it from all the others.
I love your videos you portray your thoughts so passionately throughout the whole video. I get so exited every time I get a notification that you made a new video. These videos make my day I hope you keep up the good work!
I love your content! But if I had one complaint it is that you take lots of mini pauses that seems to be creating tension for what you're about to say next however it happens so often that a lot of the times it would be effective it doesn't hit as hard because its been overused. Other than that I really love your video essays, keep up the good work.

Didn't Kurosawa explicitly say Seven Samurai was at least partially inspired by American westerns?
Ya Boi Solzhenitsyn. Yes, the entire plot is deeply rooted in early westerns. In fact, the concept of Samurai being a heroic figure for the lowest rungs of society was probably notable to the films Japanese viewers.
STOP PAUSING IN THE MIDDLE OF EVERY SINGLE SENTENCE. You're lingering on words that are not significant enough to justify lingering on them.
Watch movies with Mikey if you want to see this type of channel done right
Hate to agree but oh god yes
the nerdwriter poorly imitated
Don't hate to agree. We should celebrate finding common ground. It's so fucking rare nowadays. ;)
honestly i love his pausing, it works great with his narration of his videos and is calming as hell, its honestly what brought me to his channel, i think the best one by far was the treasure planet, and the pausing actually pulled me further in to what he was saying and caused me to listen more and more, its calming to me at least lmao.
I very much liked this video. Got my sub.
But you pause at the end of every second sentence I swear. Personally it makes it very hard to listen to. Really does break up the commentary and lessens the impact from something profound or intresting that DOES deserve a pause.
Writing is great but improved speaking could make it feel even better.
Watch Filmjoy and Movies with Mikey if you want to see the person who invented this style and does it right
haha without dramatic pauses this video would be like 4 minutes
but it's still good stuff
Great video, though it becomes very difficult to stay invested when you keep... drawing... out... your sentences. I know it may be for clear enunciation and emphasis, but it stops having a beneficial effect when... you... use... it all the time. No joke, I almost put this in 1.25x or even 1.5x speed because it felt that slow.
Very interesting points nonetheless

"Honestly, it is of little consequence what answer you choose."
*Mass Effect 3 Ending playing*
This is amazing, you are amazing, bless your heart.
I got ptsd
The way you pause randomly in the middle of sentences - in an attempt to lend them a sense of significance, I suppose? - gets really distracting after a while. It sounds like you're trying to emulate Nerdwriter but going way too far, like you're doing a satirical exaggerated impression of video essay narration.
Which is a shame, because everything else is pretty great.
Video after video, you really make me think and you end them on such a strong note. There isn't just a comparison, but a -lesson- and I think that's most important. II can't wait to see more! Sharing this with my friends.
I'm endlessly appreciative for the kind words! Thank you a million times over
Track 1: Blue Magic - Chasing Rainbows
Track 2:"Intro": Kocky - Share Love
Track 3: The Stylistics - Betcha By Golly Wow
These were the only three I was able to find. :/ Hope this helps
Oh wow thanks!!
Sam Cooke - Wonderful World at 10:31
Your content is incredible. Specifically, your intonation in your voiceovers is unbelievable. Having done voice recording briefly, trust me when I say I understand how much work must go into getting that perfect take.
Keep doing what you do, and thank you.
THANK YOU SO MUCH LOVE YOU SO MUCH
Sporkyz it's mostly fine, but i really find it annoying how he so often has a long pause between words or the last word in a sentence.
This video would have been 15 minutes if it wasnt read by William Shatner.
Oh my God....I totally hear Shatner too 😂
Lolllll :cough: loll dude that's great
I thought I was the only one! What's with the pauses?
I nearly broke my finger clicking on this notification
I completely broke my finger heart reacting this comment
Watching on 1.25 is key
Your line reading can be a bit too slow at times. I k know you're doing them on purpose, but it almost comes off as you're making sure you're going over the 10 minute mark (even though this script, unless you're reading super fast, ain't gonna be done in 10 minutes anyways, plus that'll present an opposite problem).
Other than that, rather enjoyable video dude.
I appreciate the feedback dude! Thank you for giving the video a watch!!!
The word 'literally' is literally misused in the title.
>That's the joke.
Actually, the use of the word literally as a way to exaggerate something is recognized by Merriam-Webster. Language evolves over time, if everybody uses a word wrong then the people who use it correctly are in the minority.
The definition didn't change, it was added to. Also, you actually COULD use "figuratively" in the place of "literally". Except, whereas using "literally" ironically has an exaggerating effect using "figuratively" ironically would have a diminishing effect. I could say (btw I'm not attempting to make this political this is just the first example that came to mind) Donald Trump is figuratively the president and that would imply that, although he is literally the president, his position might as well be figurative for one reason or another. At the end of the day if you understand what anyone means by using a particular turn of phrase then it doesn't matter if they use it incorrectly. Ironically, that's how figurative speech works.
Vicious Clam linguistics!
NEEEERDS
I need the playlist of the videos in the background.
Y D it sounds like a bunch of golden oldies with low pass filters on them. I recognized some of the songs
It’s beautiful to listen to
Sam Cooke is the only one I noticed
Anyone recognize the song at 3:18?
yeah ive been trying to shazam it for the past half an hour
Set speed to x1.25
I get that he's talking cool and all, but it gets frustrating after a while.
Yeah that's the only thing that made it bearable
If your annoyed by the slow pace then you shouldnt watch this video.
@@kevinmorrice And if I don't like the front cover of a book I shouldn't read it right?
Longest prefacing statement ever, at 3:16 minutes total 😂 #stillloveyouthough
Come on man find your own voice that cadence is exhausting to listen too
secibd secobdn second tbh
he had a stroke uploading this
lol
Up until now I always thought of A Bug's Life as being a retelling of The Three Amigos
You never disappoint my dude, appreciate the work and thought you put into your videos and also the unique topics you cover. You make thirty minutes on TH-cam actually fulfilling. So ya all that said thanks for what you do.
I love your videos but holy shit the first 3 minutes felt like 15 minutes
Nice, love both films so much. I never noticed the connection by the two until now, thanks man. Your videos are always insightful nuggets of knowledge from my favorite medium.
Thank you so much! Super happy you enjoyed it
I like your videos but the constant......... dramatic.............. pauses.............. made this REALLY hard to get through
BREADSWORD. PUT OUT MORE STUFF.
I'M TRYIN SIR I'M TRYIN
Honestly and undeniably really fantastic and though provoking continent, but not every line has to be delivered...with such...slow...delivery. I understand its emphatic, but only sparingly, and ive noticed its over usage has become a trope with video essayists. But believe me dude, you really are talented at what you do and your content really does speak for itself and i really dont want to see you fall into the same brand of generic delivery that so many essayists have fell into nowadays. Sorry for the negativity, and i really hope you keep up the good work!
Wish your voiceovers were more casual and natural-sounding but you do you the vids are sick
Listen Breadsword - I think you make great content - except you try to hard to sound like Nerdwriter,
slowing down your words towards the end of certain sentences. You do it too much and it starts to sound very annoying.
dude you assume that he is trying to sound that way. you seem weird to me man. you think nerdwriter was the first to do it? nah, just first for you to hear. someone can say the same thing to your "nerdwriter" god
Right when i was like hmm i wonder what else did the indepth treasure planet vid guy upload
I feel like you pause way too much. It really messes with the flow of the video...
RIP Shinobu Hasimoto interesting you released this just after he passed I can't wait to properly watch it after my exam today, always good to see a new video
cut down on the dramatic pauses bud
I'll never forget watching Seven Samuari for the 1st time & thinking, "wait, A Bug's Life homaged this!!!". Then I began to notice that every movie ever made has homaged/ripped off Seven Samurai.
Is it weird that I don't want you to be a full time TH-camr? It might sound selfish but the amount of thought and time you put into your work would be countered by the amount of videos you have to put out just to maintain a certain income. I have seen the quality of some channels go down because they think that they love what they do so much but in the end they get tired of that love and move away to something else just to get more money. I love this channel and how the videos are deep and have much thought into them but all that would be lost if you work on it every day. As I was growing up I was told "Don't do what you love, do what you can live with" and I see what they mean. If you do what you love then it is like putting all your wood into the fire, it becomes nothing but ash and the fire is gone. The passion leaves you, and you find a different love. I do love this channel and I hope that if you do become a full time TH-camr that you make sure that you don't burn out. I respect what you do with your life but I would just want thought I should give a bit of advice.
I hope you realize this is just a paragraph long criticism of capitalism as the all encompassing system crushing our souls that it is.
Why do you
Talk
Like this
Roy Keane’s Beard So true, I love his content, but his delivery sometimes comes off as a bit portentous...
Idk why I got a notification for this but I’m definitely glad I did! Haven’t watched a video essay in a while
You need to go easy on the pregnant pauses. A lot of video essay creators abuse them, and it gets particularly bad at 6:46
Now that's a really insightful video. I'm actually surprised that a Bug's Life draws inspiration from Kurosawa's 7th Samurai. :D
I swear this is how you end......every paragraph. I never know if you finished
your sentence.
Anyway I love the videos been here since 20k.
I love this channel.
A lot.
I love you
a lot
I only come here for the sweet background music
come thru to the Patreon, I'm about to start posting track lists for all my videos and put together unlisted playlists for each!
New video! YESSSS!
Nice comment! YESSS!
I swear to god bro your vids are too good!!!!! 👌👌👌👌👌👌 also PLEASE make a playlist of the music you use in the background of your Vids!!!!!!!!
plz
This guy... doesn’t know... how to narrate... without.... so many pauses... and... it kind of... is exhausting to listen to.....
FontuneTheTeller I was wondering when someone would say it.
It's exausting cause he lets all of his points sink into your head by giving all of his sentences room to breathe in the essay. This is the kind of person who is easy to learn from because he isnt putting too much in a sentence before letting you hear it.
With his choice of words (like 'Talking cool") and the way he speaks, it's pretty clear he's trying to sound intellectual, grandiose, and is probably emulating someone who's much more entertaining to listen to.
I find the background music more distracting. Might be my headset.
It's like he's trying to sound dramatic but he does it the entire time so it just drags on and becomes annoying.
You have mastered the ability of pausing your speech.
And this....
Is where A Bugs life....
begins to look like..........
Kuwasaras.............................
Masterpiece...
This is the Secibd Secobdn I've seen all day.
I actually asked someone who worked on A Bug’s Life about the film’s inspiration and he said that the movie was originally more of a remake of Seven Samurai and the original title of the film was “Seven Bugs”. The original version stayed more close to the original movie in terms of its story, but when they decided that the film would be about circus bugs that were mistaken for warriors instead, that lead to them changing the title. He pretty much said that Pixar in no way were hiding that they were making an animated remake of or loosely based on Seven Samurai.
My niggy, I really like your content, but can you please.... not.... draw out......
*your* *sentences* ....
Still a great video though, I really enjoyed it. Keep it up.
Could you please speak more slowly and pause more frequently?
i live for these vids
yooooo thank you so much for the kind words!
It's often said that there is no such thing as originality. And that saying is right. Nothing is original, because someone has done/said/achieved that thing many times before. But it isn't the goal that is supposed to be original, it's really how you achieve that goal and/or how you represent it that can be original.
Take Game of Thrones for example (the tv show), it's a series of stories that connect through being a political epic, but yet is actually a story about a great kingdom in peril, being torn apart by false kings and corrupt soldiers, while waiting for the return of the rightful ruler who will bring peace. We saw how that comes to be in season 1, with the deaths of Robert and Ned sparking the war, as they were the two people holding it all together. In seasons 2 & 3, we see the war and how it's affecting everybody. Seasons 4 & 5 deal in the aftermath of that war. But seasons 6 & 7 are about recovering and rebuilding. And while we know nothing about season 8, I highly expect that someone will take the throne and usher in a new era of peace, restarting the cycle once more.
We've seen this story retold many times over, but what makes it feel like something we haven't seen before on a first viewing is actually how it's represented and told to us. Everything is fine and well, until things go bad. We see the hurt and turmoil from a perspective that sinks in, allowing for us to feel what the characters feel. And every time it gets worse, we long for that peace and happiness that we felt at the beginning. Even the person who will usher in a new area of peace is kept hidden, until the very end. That's what separates it from all the others.
I love your videos you portray your thoughts so passionately throughout the whole video. I get so exited every time I get a notification that you made a new video. These videos make my day I hope you keep up the good work!
I love your content! But if I had one complaint it is that you take lots of mini pauses that seems to be creating tension for what you're about to say next however it happens so often that a lot of the times it would be effective it doesn't hit as hard because its been overused. Other than that I really love your video essays, keep up the good work.
The textures of all the stuff in bugs life make them look mad tasty!!!
I'm at work and can't watch this yet. I can't wait.
These videos sound more and more pretentious. But the way you edit in the music is great.
