jp3813 In a lot of Jackie Chan's older films, you'll notice that he never really kills anyone, and the instances where he's fighting are usually forced upon him

While making The Raid director Gareth Evans asked Yayan Ruhian and Iko Uwais (the movie's stunt coordinators and stars) how THEY would defend themselves in a real life fight. He chuckled and said their answer was always 'land two good hits, then run away'. "They don't want to hurt people!"

Translation: "I, ThrottleVinnieModo, don't know who Jackie Chan is, or any quotes by him. Also, there's definitely no distinction between action and violence ever."

Matt definitely takes a beating for sure. I also appreciate the fact he's usually exhausted to the point of collapse, particularly with that now-legendary hallway fight from episode 2.

Yes!! I was just about to comment the same thing when I saw this haha

NeoSquirrel Yeah. They certainly don't glorify violence. They make it appear as something one wouldn't want to do unless one really had to. It is so difficult and messy that it wouldn't even be worth the effort or energy expended unless your life depended on it. Other films always depict strangling deaths as just a couple of seconds of choking. In reality, it takes several minutes of macabre struggle.

Exactly. That's why Daredevil is the Marvel comic adaption that I like the most.

watch old boy, the original not the Hollywood shit one.

Exactly. I disagree with the video on some elements to it and it misses out the important impact of the use of violence on films in general. Quentin Tarantino, Coens Brothers, Martin Scorsese and other brilliant filmmakers made an interesting interpretations of their view in violence as they used the term story wisely. This video felt a bit more like a wanna be a straight forward action pack with an explosion film making like Michael Bay, Shane Black and mostly Dwayne Johnson's films so to speak. Nevertheless, it's a pretty fun video, not my kind of jam though.

Elemental_Phoenix that’s why I hate The Raid - it’s just violent for the sake of being violent, but for some reason a lot of people like it

Different meals ... Depends what you want/need atm

@@jakemetzgar because that too fills a purpose. It's violence as a dance and something to endure and survive. I come at this from a different angle than most I guess, on account of my cPTSD, but it's kind of validating/comforting somehow and refuge in audacity? I know plenty of people live lives are that violent and horrible (gangs, war zones, etc) but mine was more psychological violence reinforced with sporadic and less predictable physical violence. A that over the top violence-fest is cathartic and comforting (because hell at least I have never had anything that bad happen to me). Then again I am the kind of person who would rather endure physical violence than mental. It's kind of like listening to really sad music or watching a sad movie when you need to cry but you're too emotionally constipated and just trapped in this fog of awful and self loathing. I kind of wonder if that is why Americans are so fond of violence in their movies: they endure a lot of violence growing up, both from their parents (it is illegal to hit/spank your children where I grew up, and has been since 1966. [Not that it helped me but shutting me up was what the psychological abuse was for, to make me feel I deserved it, had forced their hand, and wouldn't snitch]) and from their environment growing up, like the bullies in schools and being treated terribly at school with no dignity on account of the lack of sufficient school resources. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporal_punishment_in_the_home#Effects_on_behavior_and_development Violence for the sake of violence in movies like The Raid still has far more consequences than in Hollywood action movies. People actually suffer and die in that movie, and that resonates with my experiences. It's like a cathartic lucid nightmare that brings you some sense of closure. Similarly, I really enjoyed the Judge Dredd version of The Raid. I also have always had a love for noir stories, which I had personally just chalked up to that the main character in those are usually semi-functional losers who despite that still get to get shit done even if at a terrible cost, but this video essay gives me a deeper appreciation for it.

Absolutely

He might've pass recent John Goodman

It's so true.

there has to be one John Goodman on the planet at all times.

If there is ever a Rosanne prequel or reboot ya know who to call.

RIP John Goodman

Me too, I don't know how to feel about it either.

Ivo Sotirov that's a massive oversight on your part.

Until you realize predator 2018

@@guillermo7298 Its one of the best bad film in the recent history. Aliens(predators) coming to Earth to get autism, the over the top action(with not the best CGI) and the banter. Also a few good deaths, like the Coyle and Keyes scene. So bad, but at the same time so good.

But on the other note, it obviously works better as a comedy and not a predator movie, which is sad, because at least for now the franchise is dead.

I think he meant "binging"

no, he meant bidging, goddamdit.

Then you should try watching "Every frame a painting".

Then bidge "Darren Must See Films", bidge him good.

Channels to binge: Art Regard, Casey Neistat, Channel Criswell, Darren-MUST SEE FILMS, Every Frame a Painting, Nerdwriter1, Ralphthemoviemaker, RedLetterMedia, Wisecrack, YourMovieSucksDOTorg.

Then you should've went at stupid o'clock! This is not an excuse. The movie is a masterpiece and it bombed. You helped that to happen!

Some of us have to wake up early in the morning

it bombed because of shitty marketing.

Hamsaphina Every day of the week? Keep telling yourself that!

+rapata31 hey maybe consider learning manners

Nikita Kon The Nerdwriter is seriously one of the channels I wish I was good enough to be even a little bit like. :)

Nikita Kon That's very nice of you to say! But I feel a bit odd chatting about it on someone else's channel. I try never to be "that" KZfaq person who self-promotes everywhere.

so is the last boy scout

agreed

+ CINEMA LOVER Not to mention... The Last Prostitute. (Featuring Wil Wheaton before he hit the big time on Star Trek TNG as the legendary Wesley Crusher)

Noah exactly the movie i was thinking about while watching the video

Drive made the violence feel more shocking and dangerous than most movies. It has such a slow pace so when violence erupts unexpectedly the viewer feels the same shock and fear as the characters.

@@mymicks21 Exactly. In Drive the violence has a purpose as each violent act that occurs affects a character or the storyline. There is a never a moment where someone is just killed or hurt because of pointless action.

Something Wes craven said does relate to this when he submitted the first scream movie to the MPAA they told him to cut a few frames out of the cameraman kenny’s death because it was too “real” and disturbing and Wes’s reply was: “it’s murder it’s supposed to be disturbing.”

Ikr!? hhahaha

DarkCyberElf (Mylon Requiem) You're right!!! I didn't even notice that at first and I usually do notice things like that!

DarkCyberElf (Mylon Requiem) I think he means consequential

Yes, that is demotivatating :'( from a Nerd Writer XD just a lapsus.

What is the issue here? Is it an improper use of that word for the context?

Dude, you're frigging everywhere! Great content though, you'll grow fast!

Hey, man, I like your stuff! Subscribed!

subscrubed

You have good content, Keep it up!

Subbed bro you do great stuff

Damn straight

hell fucking yes

Seriously, if you're gonna talk about movie violence do it with a director who Literally makes blood shower out from people's necks.

TARANTULINO!

Quarantine Tarantula

Reluctant Couch is it that good? I hear about it a lot- but, I can't pull through to watch it.

Above Beyond It's mostly my favorite because of how different it is from most other movies in writing, style, and blocking

Thanks, I'm going to give it a go.

Reluctant Couch the movie was horribly fantastic! Lol! Man! I didn't want it to end! My mind is blown on why I didn't watch it sooner! If it wasn't for your comment & reply, I wouldn't have watched it- for that, sir, I thank you! Man, what a treat that movie was/is. Loved every minute of that movie, I love the style it was directed, all the hijinx(if that's correct) were so awesome.. the realistic ways moments happened, along with the comedic tone but with a noir dark tone.. once again, thank you for your input! Wonderful movie! I can't complain about a thing from this movie unless I nit pick.. even then it's not worthwhile since it was such a great movie.. that movie went into my top 10 movies. Maybe top 5.. I thoroughly enjoyed it, I'll put this movie in my ranks next to Reservoir Dogs, and (please don't fault me) Get Shorty, I love that movie too, has that same tone too.. thank you, once again.

The witch is my fav one, second by The nice guys

totally different, gratuitous and beautiful while shockingly consequential.

obscure reference That's a fair way to put it.

Consequential is such a great way to put it, too. Every death is connected directly to another event... Hell, even some character traits directly lead to character's deaths--- like Vincent Vega's heroin addiction>>>toilet all the time>>>>Pop Tarts and Travolta goes flying. Bridget Fonda getting blown away by DeNiro>>>Deniro getting blown away by Sam Jackson. People typically are not just frivolously killed like we see in some films.

***** The one that immediately came to mind was the scene in Inglourious Basterds in the underground German bar where like half the cast dies and the other scene at the end where all but two characters die.

"BECAUSE IT'S SO MUCH FUN JAAAN!"

There's like, only 15 more days left. I doubt Rogue One or something else will be the one to satisfy you more.

I really really like this image

My favorite of the trilogy

Mine too.

another approach worth checking out (only few scenes with violence) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dark_Valley

absolutely love this film! i was thinking about it through the whole video... the violence in that movie is truly devastating

I totally agree with you!!

OH MAN! I'm super excited for that then!

DKlarations Please check him in RT, to make sure I was not dreaming xD

Benjamin gutierrez oriol YUP! presently in pre-production

DKlarations SWEEEEET! :D

So you are excited for yet another sequel in this age of franchises and reboots? You are really beyond help...

Missnewbienoob ahah I think that’s my favorite of the series

Please don't.

Yes this needs to happen

Giorgi Tsurtsumia I'm legit not being snarky, what am I missing about this whole Kendrick Lamar thing? I find all his music uninspired.

Not to your taste perhaps, but uninspired seems an odd word? There's certainly something vital and, I would say, inevitable about his music. He has become the poet laureate of a generation of young people for a reason. He has brought together some of the most exciting musicians currently working in jazz, neo-soul, hip hop and electronic and, not only that, has somehow produced powerful conceptual works out of all these disparate parts. I think "inspiration" may in some small part be the root of this. Even if he is standing on the shoulders of the Soulquarians, I genuinely believe he has added meaningfully to their blueprint. He's not an MC to be scoffed at either.

If you believe you are missing it, why be afraid of a video that could potentially enlighten you

He pays royalties

Zen Dragon 9

his videos are not monetized

@@kamals.4638 yes they are

ok but what's the song nameeeee i neeeeed itttt

SmithersBly what about the ending song?

if you like his stuff, you should check out Channel Criswell and Every Frame a Painting - both are amazing channels with similar themes and different content :)

Thanks for the recs!

Why can't I quit you Nerdwriter?

Nice profile pic.

I'm not a fan of graphic violence funily enough but I love the Lord of the Rings for how graphic it is despite its age rating. But then again if you watch Peter Jacksons earlier films liek Braindead you understand why so many head and limbs are getting hacked off, why orcs are getting impaled by shields and why the battles just hit so hard.

bullshit

Art isn't dead. The classical art system is dead, yes. The System is dead, long live atemporality.

agreed

fuck yeah

Bullshit

Such a terrible, disappointing, poorly written, unfunny movie.

It is now fucking Thursday. I'm experiencing withdrawal
