This is probably the most important cultural discussion NOT being raised by anybody. Ideology and idolatry, narrow-mindedness in the name of a (false) belief in one’s own righteousness, tough-guy talk without the tough-guy morality... The West has capitulated far too much in the name of tolerance and political correctness; we must uphold basic decency, morality, and truth
Yes! A good man must treat a woman like a lady to be truly good. That's why nudity in film is so egregious, especially in rape scenes. Dont make the hero root for the woman to lose her clothes, and dont make us, the audience who shoukd not enjoy the rape scene, root for her to lose her clothes either
Klavan does not understand Don Quixote. He his description of it is the modern telling of it. Don Quixote isn’t just a madman he is also quite sane and admirable. This is made clear thought the novel.
I have to say Casablanca is my favorite movie as well. So many good quotes. And one of the most beautiful actresses on the silver screen, Ingrid Bergman.
I am Hispanic and Christian . Read Don Quijote as a child , also Raymond Chandler . Never though to put them together , but now , looking at you , I realized the points of contact between characters and cultures , transcending times to prove the commonality of human experience. Thank you Mr. Klavan
I love both films. Casablanca for its story and performances…Citizen Kane for its filmmaking and performances. I can watch either at any time…I won’t argue that Casablanca is incredible, but I WILL argue that Citizen Kane is the most complete piece of filmmaking and no film has surpassed it. And I find it very watchable because there is so much to learn each time…
Seriously, you ought to teach a writing course, Mr Klavan. BTW, has the Daily Wire branched into taking submissions for works of fiction. There's so many good stories and writers of stories whose work will never make publication because of woke ideology dominating the publishing business.
I don’t really expect you to see or read this, Andrew, but just in case you do, have you read Nelson Demille? The Hero of several of his books is John Corey. He seems to be a bit like Marlowe. If you haven’t read his books you’re missing out. Your latest book is scheduled to be shipped in a week or so.
Marlowe is my #1 favorite Noir hero as well, Drew! Gotta ask: Have you seen the recent Marlowe film with Liam Neeson? I've been frankly surprised you never seem to have reviewed it.
My understanding is that Don Quixote was the first novel where the characters changed over time. Both the Don and Sancho became different persons in effect changing places in the social order as the novel unfolds.
I agree with you. I'd like to sit down and talk with you even though you think circles around me. I am a very slow and fundamental thinker, but if we sat down and talked about some very small things that you might have overlooked on your swift journey (in your case swift is perfectly justifiale) I'd like to know if they are important to you. I live in the DC area and I pray we meet someday. My identity is not material to my hope.
A good template for young men. Our generation is now fading it's their world to walk in now and these young men will need a Stoic backbone. Good luck young men.
To be a tough guy, you have to hate leaches. I hate leaches. Tough guys don't dance. In most cases, though, guys not only don't dance, they can't dance. Shocked! Shocked! Bogart is my favorite actor and "Casablanca," my favorite movie.
This Bruckner character signed a petition in support of Roman Polanski, calling for his release after Polanski was arrested in Switzerland in relation to his 1977 charge for drugging and _graping_ a 13-year-old girl. Somehow, I can't imagine Philip Marlow supporting the likes of Roman Polanski. In fact, Polanski would have been a rather dark villian in any Raymond Chandler novel.
Ye Tate is trying and he has some good points. But he’s an actor, he’s overplaying the stereotype. When these youngsters get to 30-35 they see beyond the frivolous hyper-masculine masquerading of Tate.
I may not always agree with you Klavan but I respect you. You and I are men of different eras, and the difference is I've decided I'm willing to bend more rules to be victorious.
Since Klavan is never wrong, I’ll assume the has never seen the greatest film, Gone With the Wind. It features the greatest tough guy, Captain Rhett Butler (Clark Gable) and the most beautiful woman, Scarlett O’Hara (Vivian Leah). If I am being to generous, explain yourself Gandalf.
Rhett Butler wasn't the greatest tough guy. He shagged prostitutes and avoided signing up. The great performance from Clark Gable probably made the character more charismatic and appealing.
Eh, for my tough men I think I'll stick with the Astartes. Garviel Loken is an amazing character and I found him very noble and very much a strong manly man.
Andrew what is your opinion on Ben Shapiro saying ONE ISRAELI SOLDIER is equal worth to 100 Palestians? WOW I used to think Ben WOULD be Appointed to SUPREME COURT one day but he is definitely not suited. His goodness could not endure the evil times nor his impartialiality
*I've seen "Casablanca" numerous times, and still don't understand why it's supposed to be so great. As far as I'm concerned, it's an overblown soap opera--no better and no worse than that other overpraised piece of garbage "Gone With the Wind."*

That's not art's fault. It's like when people say "life is art" in their stoner logic moments. Obviously Andrew's description here that art is a mere reflection of life is much closer to true than that, but that doesn't stop people from latching onto the half-baked version.

Don't be like Klavan's gay son, and also being a pimp like Andrew Tate doesn't make you a tough guy, but then again he could probably beat up the likes of Klavan's gay son, so there is that 🤷.
In literature, the man I found a tough fellow in an evil world was Job. Though I also admire Moses, Abraham, Noah and Hezekiah.
All it takes for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing
There is no A in Kleven.

That would be.... there are no A's in Kleven. Coo-coo!
There are no “e’s” in Klavan.

Your dedication to Casablanca makes this the best video you've ever made.
Thank you for an important message. You are a great role model for young men, and especially young artists.
I really enjoyed your juxtaposition of Don Quixote and Philip Marlowe. Thank you, Andrew. 🎯 💯
Klavan does not understand Don Quixote. He his description of it is the modern telling of it. Don Quixote isn’t just a madman he is also quite sane and admirable. This is made clear thought the novel.
I feel cultured just listening to Klavan. We need some classes from Klavan. Professor Klavan has a nice ring!
I have to say Casablanca is my favorite movie as well. So many good quotes. And one of the most beautiful actresses on the silver screen, Ingrid Bergman.
Why did I hear Donkey Hodie when he said Don Quixote😂
For me growing up, I admired characters from anime.
Trust me, when you try to act like anime characters ... you become the opposite of cool 😭😭
The Philosophy in Storytelling videos are my abosolute favorite. I can listen to them all day!
Great piece Andrew.
Thanks for being one of the only people online that makes sense.

Have to say, Casablanca shares the title of my favorite move with The Maltese Falcon.
Thanks Mr. Klavan! Any chance we could get another Halloween themed video- movies & the like?
Don't try to be a great man, or even a good man. Just be a man, and let history draw its own conclusions.
Zefram Cochrane!

💯 spot on Drew. Plus, more Karate in Winter’s story.
Glad to hear you say such nice things about the movie ‘Casablanca.’ It has to be the best movie ever made. Finally found someone that agrees with me!
When I think of tough guys, I think if Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas, Robert Mitchum, Robert Ryan.
I love both films. Casablanca for its story and performances…Citizen Kane for its filmmaking and performances.
I can watch either at any time…I won’t argue that Casablanca is incredible, but I WILL argue that Citizen Kane is the most complete piece of filmmaking and no film has surpassed it. And I find it very watchable because there is so much to learn each time…
Excellent! One of your great performances, again! Your analysis about how a real hero can be an inspiration for life is very instructive.
Seriously, you ought to teach a writing course, Mr Klavan. BTW, has the Daily Wire branched into taking submissions for works of fiction. There's so many good stories and writers of stories whose work will never make publication because of woke ideology dominating the publishing business.
THIS! If DW+ had a writing course from Drew, that would be MONUMENTAL.
I'd pay to have Klavan simply do a quick edit on a few of my works and tear them apart so I know what a good writer expects.
@@leviwarren6222 His daughter Faith Moore is a professional editor!
I would love a mini series where klavan breaks down famous novels and works
The best movie ever. I love it from frame to frame
This made me a new fan .. I'm definitely going to give some of your novels a shot .. carry on brother
I had a similar sense with the main character in 1984. The whole affair stuff made him very unadmirable to me.
That conclusion is a class act.
Klavan wouldve hungout with Plato and Socrates if he was around back then. I love his thoughts
This is possibly the most revelatory chapter you have ever filmed
I don’t really expect you to see or read this, Andrew, but just in case you do, have you read Nelson Demille? The Hero of several of his books is John Corey. He seems to be a bit like Marlowe. If you haven’t read his books you’re missing out. Your latest book is scheduled to be shipped in a week or so.
I read some of your novels, way before Daily Wire posts. Thank you, Mr. Klavan! And yes, Ingrid Bergman was the eternal epitome of Womanhood...😎
this may be the best podcast of yours that i have heard.
As a young person who has watched both Citizen Kane and Casablanca, Drew is definitely correct here.
Tell a woke person what a woman is
That takes real courage.
Great video!
Idk I watched Citizen Kane last year and it was actually quite entertaining! Need to watch Casablanca though, I suspect you're right
Marlowe is my #1 favorite Noir hero as well, Drew! Gotta ask: Have you seen the recent Marlowe film with Liam Neeson? I've been frankly surprised you never seem to have reviewed it.
wow. so glad I heard this...thanks
Well said mate
Casablanca is my favourite film of all time. Bogart is the man!
Elvis is cooler then Humphrey Bogart
My understanding is that Don Quixote was the first novel where the characters changed over time. Both the Don and Sancho became different persons in effect changing places in the social order as the novel unfolds.
Which novel is the first in the series? Can they be read out if order?
We’ll always have Paris.
Mickey Spillane looks like a tough guy.
I agree with you. I'd like to sit down and talk with you even though you think circles around me.

Good job.
Finally, you talked about Don Quixote, tremendous!
Rosebud !!
No, no. Top 3 definitely. In no particular order The Man Who Would Be King, The Searchers, Casablanca.

Followed by African Queen or the Maltese Falcon.
Phillip Marlowe is an all time great literary hero! I wish we had better films featuring him.
God Bless you. Modernism is the synthesis of all heresies - Pope St Pius X
Casablanca needs to come with a brief history of World War II.
Too many young people have no idea to the references it makes.
The best film ever made is Ben Hur (1959). Any character played by Charlton Heston is the ultimate tough guy.
There is no one greatest movie but there are a collection of movies that are the greatest.
This Bruckner character signed a petition in support of Roman Polanski, calling for his release after Polanski was arrested in Switzerland in relation to his 1977 charge for drugging and _graping_ a 13-year-old girl.

Casablanca is a great film but clearly if that's klavens favourite film he hasn't seen lotr
Amen
One side observation, if you have to watch a vid on how to be a tough guy, chances are you will never be a tough guy.
Casablanca is overrated! 😂
Bravissimo! 👏👏👏👏👏
Ye Tate is trying and he has some good points. But he’s an actor, he’s overplaying the stereotype. When these youngsters get to 30-35 they see beyond the frivolous hyper-masculine masquerading of Tate.
Obviously the best movie is Goodfellas. It's like I don't even know who you are.
Sounds like a good way to be used.

The point was that the character was not easily swayed. The easy thing fir him to do would have been join up in the initial hysteria.

The reason you do not understand either movie is due to you not grasping the cultural history of the movies.
Casablanca is the most perfect film ever made. If you debate this fact, you are not a tough guy.
I m just like Mike Hammer I m tough Guy
I’m going to say Casablanca is a great movie but it’s a bit too dated for me.I would obviously say Good The Bad and the Ugly is better for me.

Casablanca is hot garbage pile of hypocrisy. The Marseilles scene alone where _Sam is conspicuously absent_ is enough to give this phony film two 👎👎.

Whence does Klavan’s authority on this topic come? Good men don’t let their sons going around sodomizing.
