Exemplary stuff dude. Other KZfaqrs should take note

Best movie shootout ever... I really wish De Niro got away at the end though...

For me the second most touching moment in the movie is when Chris sees his wife on the balcony and she gives him the "pass" sign. I felt what he felt. You could see she was also devastated. The comic relief was needed with the "rat" played by Hank Azaria. Kevin Gage's "Waingro" was scary.

Totally blown away. Expectations far exceeded. A truly inspired and well-researched analysis. This is one hell of an essay. Beautifully written. Your assertion that family is the most important aspect of life, and a key theme of the film, is probably lost on most of its viewers. But that's what a great analysis does - it illuminates, it allows us to see the thing we've already seen before but in a new and different way, with new meanings uncovered and new understandings gained.

"U can get killed walkin ya douggy" I love this video

They don't make them like this anymore. One of the last GREAT films of an era... Excellent video👍 Cheers Edit: Amazing ending. Incredible closing

When a movie which is notoriously acknowledged to have THE best shoot-out scene also has a character depth this much, you know that you are talking about the masterpiece. I would say that Heat would make 2 good movies in it, if only Neil's or Vincent's personal life was displayed, it would still have been good. And on top of this, it also has Chris's story and the driver's story. Just a top quality storytelling overall.

just watched Heat for the first time... holy f*ck.

You ascribe the trait of sexual promiscuity to Neal (Deniro) but he only has one sexual partner in the movie and wants to have long term relationship with her.

I’m a simple guy, I see a good video essay about heat, I hit like.

that end credit by Moby always gives me chills thru my spine.

One of my all time fav movies “i told you im never going back”, love how the movie focuses on their personal lives. Edit: tell chris stuckmann to review this movie

My NUMBER 1 film of all time. Has been since I first saw it in 1995 when my dad bought it on VHS!

Ricky Harris as Albert Torena (the chop shop) was as brilliant as any of the other roles. He just captured such an honest take of a low level criminal dealing with a hot-headed cop. I've said it before: Heat is about people with something to lose. Everybody-every last character in the film-loses something.

I don't think I ever would've given Exorcist III a shot if it hadn't been for your analysis of the film. It's now one of my favorite movies and I'm very much looking forward to reading the book! From one Ohioan and content creator to another, best of luck!

One of my favorite films ever made!

Very insightful. Never thought of the film like this. And tons of "bonus" information about other movies which I didn't expect but really enjoyed.

“What does it matter if I’m the west men are men” You couldn’t have choosen a better line to end the video

Omg! I clicked so fast! In my top 5 of all time, what a great film. Keep it up Matt, you're great.

One of the best 22mins I've spent in this godforsaken year.

I love this series and appreciate the effort and passion that goes into every video. Thank you Matt so much ❤

I saw this the year it came out, I've watched it on VHS, DVD, Blu-Ray, Streaming....I've written papers and debated this film! And not until your video did I ever realize how Vincent accepts defeat which ultimately saves Lauren...I (of course) realize that Neil's inability to let Waingro go is what brings him down...but only now do I see what Vincent does that Neil can't. Brilliant observations, brilliant work! Thank you.

You have my benediction simply for the fact you decided to tackle something like _Heat (1995) a Michael Mann film._ *[Salutations from space]*

This was beautiful bro! You made me cry! Seriously thank you!

There is a scene in the film which I find quite defining, It`s when he`s in a car under the elevated road with the informer telling him " My Sargent says Vincent likes you, You do this sharp, Look how they did this sharp " He admires his professionalism, Neil gives smile and a laugh, Neil is obviously not signing on the dole, So his persisting in pursuing crimes is not driven by sheer necessity, I think as Michael implied, It`s the jazz of it, We don`t know how Neil got caught and sent to prison before, But Neil I think is is somewhat attracted to professional theft, So the previous crimes have been a learning curve to him, When the guy shot the guard it was the lack of professionalism which ends up causing most of the trouble, Your theory about shadow work is not there for me, Neil clearly states in the famous diner scene, " Regular type life, What`s that ? BBQ`S and ball games ! ? " Neil is not concerned too much as to working on his shadow, He did seem to imply something when he states " After this, I will be going away for a while " But that`s not much, As with the ending , Although it`s somewhat subjective, For me, Back in the diner scene Neil said firmly " If you do have me boxed in, I will not hesitate, Not for a second " Neil was caught between not going back to prison, And killing Vincent, He at the end chose suicide by Police Officer, The shadow doesn`t really help Vincent as the previous scene shows Neil has the drop of Vincent, You also have to keep in mind the unwritten rules of the Hollywood establishment, They cannot let the gangsters win, " Get Carter, " Scarface, " " Carlito's Way " Even comedy crime capers like " The Italian Job " It`s the same thing in the end

One of the best video essays and analysis I've ever seen, brought tears to my eyes at the end with how deep you went and beautifully done it along the way.I hope that you reap the rewards (in such forms that you wish) for creating such videos.I don't comment alot so this action reaffirms how moved I was.

You made my year. Thank you!!

I'm glad I found this channel, so far the content has been excellent. It's articulate and profound, without being pretentious.

I've seen Heat at least 10 times and never thought of 1/2 the things in this video. Great job!

Stellar video essay. Great breakdown of one of my favorite movies.

such a fantastic video essay with so much depth of insight of one of my favorite films. thank you for doing what you do!

Well what masterpiece review. I saw heat hundreds of times and i thought i know everything about but you managed to pull out so many things i never spotted. Hats down to you my friend

I remember being a bit surprised by the relationships getting so much attention in a movie where the only thing people seem to talk about is the "coffee conversation" and the subsequent bank robbery. I appreciated the small glimpse into Michael's life because it made you feel for the guy dying before doing much driving at all. There was also the contrast of the cop having a marriage going down the drain and a few of the criminals having very loving relationships with their's. It's a movie that's definitely more than a brief dialogue scene and a bank robbery.

Micheal, I am a man , and I think I love you. Well done.

nice video very well told. thanks for this this is one of my fav movies, especially the story.

Now this is the ‘Heat’ video I’ve been looking for. I adore this analysis.

Just found this channel. man this Channel is effinnGreat!!!!

Very well done, enjoyed this very much. Thank You

This was awesome, I hung to every word. Well done and thank you!

"You've done a man's job sir" "I guess ..." i will subscribe.

Fastest I have clicked on one of your vids

Been watching/rewatching your cinema series for a couple of years. I truly enjoy your view and perspectives. Great work!

Rewatched this yesterday. Great video

Fantastic video!!! Also sick flow!

Deep and Insightful Analysis! Great Stuff! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

1995 was a rough time in my life this movie has spoken so much to me the duelality of man

Great job. Heat is a masterpiece. Your breakdown made it even better.

phenomenal! love the video

Really enjoyed this man, you certainly brought some things to light I hadn't considered but are now very evident in retrospect. That's usually how it goes with a lot of great films. I always thought Heat was a great film, but to say what elements make it a great film is a whole other thing.

Your movie analysis is really amazing and worth watching as much as watching the heat movie itself. Thanks for awesome video.

Thank you! My favorite crime film of all time.

Great video. Thank you.

Top video mate, appreciate the content

5:44 There was no sign of this highway in the background on the [VHS] tape ... love Michael Mann

This analysis is perfection.

absolutely fantastic analysis, you really did your homework!

Heat is one of My All Time favorite movies 🎥 !!! Great insight !!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Such great information. Very well articulated👍you got a Niche buddy!

Nice vid man, do more film analysis!

Great analysis of my favorite movie of all time

Thank you for this analysis. I love this movie, one of my favourites. Every time I hear that moby song at the end if the movie, I cry.

Wow! Great analysis!

Heat is based on a true story - Neil McCauley vs Detective Chuch Adamson in 1964. Two actually had encounter and conversation in coffee shop. McCauley was killed during the shootout. Interesting...

Excellent. The utmost of excellence. 👍👍👍

Amazing breakdown, thank you.

You’ve got a gift my man.. Subbed

Brilliant upload bro.

Stunning video man

Really well done, Matthew!

Great take on this multilayered, complex, amazing film.

Amazing video!

Hey Matthew, great video! Could you link the paper you talk about at 10:25? The Indiana University about Male Traits, I wasn't able to find it via google and would love to read it. Thank you!

Awesome analysis

This video was fantastic!!! ❤️❤️❤️

watching so many Heat interpretations, this still added to the experience.

Kudos my friend 🙌✨ TERRIFIC essay!

Clever film. Even more clever analysis. Also, whilst watching this, I suddenly realised the references made to this film in Grand Theft Auto V.

Good Analysis. Choice makes or breaks a man an family.

Absolute love that you produced something about Mann! Haven't even had a go of it yet but wanted to jazz it up before I forget. Cheers 😎🍻🦘🦥🧑🏻‍🎤 [edit: just thought maybe you might wanna do the whole spoiler alert thing? But then again who hasn't seen these total gems from the Mann/Scorcese/Etc. catalogues?? Very clever nonetheless. Bravissimo!]

Awesome video man.

Matt your a epic man. well done my man.

Great analysis

Very nice narrative sir

Gr8 job again bro

I love Only Angels Have Wings... very good comparison between Hawks and Mann.

😳 Damn! That was surprisingly concise! Didn't see that concept in there,...ever. Compliment!

Man, I like the analyst on this movie. Deep.

I’ll just say a. thank you b. Brilliant break down

Great analysis.

Excellent essay
