Man, I love your videos. I've tried so fucking hard to understand this movie and it's praise and you provided a lot of insight. Genuinely, you are a great reviewer. I am so sick of people trying to be needlessly pretentious and intellectual and less human. THANKS.

That was a wonderful analysis!

I'm so glad you made your American Psycho analasys which allowed me to discover this channel. Love your view on movies and i hope to enjoy your stuff for years to come.

Every time you put one of these out, you point out something I never realised about a film, but it's never too far-fetched or pretentious. Great fucking job as always, keep it up.

The breathing during those scenes is actually Kubrick's.

"But they turn up their noses at movies made before a certain date." - well said. Most people I know think of movies that were made before 2000 as being "old" and therefore automatically boring/outdated etc. Some even try to be friendly by saying stuff like "considering how old this movie is, it was actually pretty good", as if movies have an expiration date or something. I always tell them that the oldest movie is older than the oldest living human being, and that a 50-year-old film therefore technically is "younger" than a 50-year-old person, but no one ever sees the logic in that.

Very well said, Josh. I also saw "Interstellar" and I believe that "2001" will outlive it by far. I was dazzled by 2001 when I first saw it in a Cinerama theater in 1968 and I am still dazzled by it.

You've got to be one of my favorite critics out there. You give the perfect level of insight. Never going so far as to alienate by being to presumptuous or too simplistic. And you are one of the few critics who has reviewed In Bruges (one of my favorite films). I really love this series and look forward to hearing about more films I can love.

DUDE YOU ARE SO RIGHT ABOUT THAT CERTAIN DATE STUFF. As much as I love it, The Godfather is the film where audiences are like "Yeah, there was nothing good from before this" but they are so wrong! The Godfather just invented modern cinema, so people are scared to watch everything else because it's so...different, I guess you could say.

Thank you for your review of 2001: A Space Odyssey! I just watched it for the first time this evening and this has really helped me to further process it. :)

This was reeeaally well done. Touched on a lot of idea's I hadn't thought of before which makes me want- no need, to watch this again. Thank you

I don't know what to say other than thank you, your channel is a work art.

When you do videos like this, you need to stick to a certain volume level, like a news caster. You sometimes end your sentences too abruptly and/or the last word fades into silence. It's improving things like these that will help your videos look and become more professional. The content itself is good I liked the video.

As a Kubrick fan - you nailed it!

Well done, and thank you sir!

Your videos are extremely underrated

Love your description.

Very interesting video. Thank you!

Amazing review!

It's not intentionally boring, it's captivating.

hey man, youre good at this. i hope you get more followers. keep up the good work

Your last line moved me to tears ... sob sob

god Damn you're good at this

I watched 2010 first and liked it as a kid. So I rented 2001 and didn't understand it. As i grew up i understood it better.

Your reviews are really good and well edited. I subbed. At first it was hard to get through the whole movie. But after watching it the second time I realized how more intriguing looking and actually good it is with their ambiguous themes of the future, the unknown, robots, god, aliens. Hey Josh I also have a channel where I review movies and I recently did a comparison to Interstellar. I don't know if you would like to check it out and see what you think? See ya :)

Arthur C Clarke said that he never quite forgave the astronauts of Apollo 8 [the first manned flight around the far side of the moon] for not reporting the presence of a huge monolith as soon as they were back in radio contact with Mission Control.

Your a genius and thank you. How about analyzing Fargo, would much appreciate

Superb review of this film. I totally agree with you.

Being a symphony? Holy shit

Hey man, just discovered your videos, really enjoy them. I also do movie reviews and was wondering how you go about monetizing them when you use footage and audio from the films? Thanks.

Or talk about Synecdoche, New York

Man I love your videos, have you ever thought of Confessions of a Dangerous Mind?

I have been Following this video and and trying to really get the deep meanings of this movie to no avail. I imagine if I was alive and old enough in 1968 my mind would've been blown away but I recently saw this movie and fell asleep. It has its moments and the effects are really really good for that era and even better than in some more recent films. My dad had a Memento of this movie on the wall and I get it, it's a classic. I've spent many a sleepless nights thinking about how to give Kubrick his due for he was a great film director but at the same time recognizing directors today who are making movie masterpieces. My Insomnia paid off when I discovered a few films by a genius director. My dad naturally thinks its blasphemous to consider any modern day filmakers as equal or even greater than Kubrick but I consider myself a Dark Knight in this endeavor. The Prestige of fighting for what one thinks is true is very rewarding . The idea was "Implanted" into my head by chance when I happened upon a movie that changed my life. It was a moment of "Intergalactic" proportions. A mainly silent war movie with no back story for the characters but instead just their experiences about a battle and rescue operation of WWII off the coast of Dunkirk. After witnessing the majesty and sublime craftsmanship on the screen I'm glad I held on to the initial Tenet of my conviction.

And yes i have seen a lot of classics, Im a huge movie buff myself, Stanley Kubrick's 2001 was amazing but Interstellar was also amazing.

2001 can and has bored me to literal sleep. It remains the only movie to have done this. I find parts of it interesting, attractive, and once or twice entertaining, but those paltries can't save a movie that isn't enjoyable to sit through. There are things that could -- there are movies I love more for historical, ideological, even technical reasons -- but even those don't become my all-time favorites, and DO end up being enjoyable to reflect on if not to experience. I respect that you DO seem to get a lot of enjoyment out of the movie, but you seem convinced that everyone likes this movie. There are serious arguments against it.

Have you seen Contact(1997)? That movie has similar themes and is hugely underrated too. Though I wouldn't dare put it up against a Space Odyssey.

Are you gonna do one for The Social Network?

it doesn't take skill, talent or genius to bore someone.

I want to log a request for A Long Goodbye. I look forward to your next video, whatever the subject.

It’s not the discovery of a tool it’s the discovery of a weapon

Wow so true The Godfather is the arbitrary film date people watch movies

I don't know if you have seen Synecdoche,New York by Charlie Kaufman, but I think you should analyze it. Its an extremely deep and intriguing film.

You should talk about The Tree of Life.

Tops!

'But they turn up their noses at movies made before a certain date.' So true. I know a guy turned off by movies made before 1990 simply because of how the audio sounds. Sad but true.

What other movies are you going do for the movies I love segment in the future

I love the sequel more. " _What's going to happen? Something wonderful. I'm afraid. Don't be._ " I just wanna add about " _He fell asleep going to the moon, that's how boring it is!_ " I too would fall asleep, but not because it's boring, but because it's a long trip and I'd have front-row seat to one of the best views ever which is comfortable. I mean, who wouldn't want to be wrapped up in say a bed with the Earth or Moon in our? Just my five cents! 8:14 - NO! WRROOOOOOOOOOOOONG!!!! Hence why I love the second movie more as it expands on HAL-9000.

It pisses me off to an irrational extent that so many people don't watch movies older than themselves, with maybe two exceptions. These people have never seen anything from John Ford or David Lean or Billy Wilder or even Alfred fucking Hitchcock. What kind of life is that?

I'm sure this was a great commentary, but you need to slow down and enunciate more. I often had no idea what you were saying, as you slurred your words together.

This movie is torture for gen z because our attention spans have been fucked by modern tech.

Interstellar was ok?............. really.

'the purposely trying to bore us' part i cant appraise any film maker for purposely boring people. its just reaching. its like those people who look at mundane boring pieces of art and then try to find some deep meaning that doesnt actually exist. I liked 2001 but not the boring parts.

Tapirs are American. Prehistoric Africa could not have had tapirs.

I really loved skipping through the pointless dragged out scenes of this troll film. And I didn't fall in the trap of praising it.

it's a good looking movie, but I really don't like it, because of a lack of cohesive story.

This was a good analysis but it does make me appreciate the movie less. Seems self centered to have humans as the "chosen species" out of all the rest.

I find this movie really boring 😂 I really enjoyed HAL tho

I hate this movie

Women do not like this movie.

"it bored the characters to sleep and it bores the audience"......im sorry but,,, it doesn't take a genius to bore people to death.....this movie is complete utter pretentious garbage

my thoughts:..worst movie iver ever seen

The fool who makes these videos needs to go to college.
