Enjoying the vid, but I think you're harsh to blame Sam for missing the morse code in the fireworks. Nobody looks for morse code in fireworks. I'm also not sure if mixing reality with the film is fair. I'm not even sure What Three Words existed at the time of the film. According to Wiki it was founded in 2013

"seemingly insignificant close-ups" as we see a seemingly insignificant close up of what looks like a ballet trophy, do such things exist? Could this be to imply Sara was a talented child, and therefore more susceptible to the charms of the hollywood dream?

Great movie. I think the view that we could form a community finding meaning in shared experiences is just as depressing. It sounds as if we accept the subjective nature of meaning and purpose but choose to embrace this obvious illusion. Accepting the game is rigged and then coming to terms by purposely feeding ourselves an admitted placebo. That is just as sad.

@@sickstrings We started our great journey as communities finding meaning in shared experiences. Even if we accept the religious propaganda we've still survived over 6000 years, and still going strong enough to represent a threat to life itself.

Fantastic analysis and one I happen to agree with for the most part. Thank you!

I think in another ten years people will be shocked to hear this wasn't loved

As soon as I finished I looked for the cult on Reddit. I wasn't disappointed.

Can’t give it too much love though I am pleased with a well made cinematography!

Fantastic movie, had me enthralled the whole way through.

​@@happinesstanReddit is stupid. They are probably the same people like the protagonist Sam.

Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I love Donnie Darko, and I hope UTSL can hit that same level of cult following someday, but only time will tell.

But Sam is the dog killer..

this movie is more mature than darko.

Darko is way better. Not even close.

I like the doll match up, good call. Now I need to watch the movie again. This movie is incredibly fun, the layer upon layer of clever puzzles & how music & movies from the past have created what we are today. 🙏🏽✌️

I noticed that too! There's even that scene where a woman is doing a form of slam poetry right at the entrance of the balloon party and she literally starts reciting "3, 3, 3... 3, 3... 3" and that always immediately struck me as odd.

PS: red balloons is a belied metaphor. They represent human blood cells erythrocytes in both Stephen Kings “ It”( v@mp1r1stuc “ spider”- clown Preys on terrified children to get adrenalised bl00d; “ spider” is an Australian slang for paefophile , it’s no accident that scary clown is a spider-creature-shapeshifter in context of “ It”). Red balloons represent erythrocytes also in “ Under the Silver Lake”, given that Athena/Molech/Baal is a v@mp1r1st1c demonic entity.

PPS: at 0:01 a man on the poster with the gun to his head is throwing Baal horns hand sign, same hand which holds the gun. At 0:13 on the poster the human foot dipping into ( supppsedly) Silver Lake has 6 toes.

how does a whale at a black lagoon die? is this a common expression?

Thanks for watching! It's one of my favorite films, I discover more each time I watch it, and I hate that it's not more well known

One of the most rewatchable movies to me

​@@daniel_netzelI put it on to fall asleep to several times a week for the score alone. It's such a perfect movie. Feels like Mulholland drive to me

To me UTSL feels like a cross between Inherent Vice and Southland Tales

Add “ Chinatown” with Jack Nicholson to “ Under the Silver Lake”, another movie where protagonist ( Jack Nicholson’s character) attempts to save his love interest , the woman who is an object of desire of a corrupt & powerful man( her father who is also her grandfather who is also a father of her daughter-- mind boggling, innit?-- the el-lite interbreeding tradition which comes from ancient ore-Babylon possibly from as far as Atlantis ). Watch out for a clue to right eye dichromatic pattern as a clue to multigenerational interbreeding-- and then check out Madeline McCain and George Soros and Charles. Truth is a LOT stranger than fiction, snd these “clues” are the REVELATION OF THE METHOD in Quaballah mystic teachings ( meaning of “ they “ tell you, they told you the truth in the form of a veiled allegory, so noe you know, and if you fail to act, karma is on you. True story, BTW.

In GTA 5/Los Santos (LA) there are also 'lost dog' posters with phone numbers on it, and if you call them you here some strange things... And other symbolism all over the place

@@maurverngallard4607 The actual conspiracy theory stuff in your post doesn't interest me in the slightest, I"m afraid. I don't buy it, really don't like the Q-ish whiff about it, and I don't think it's what UTSL is about. The detail of the film's own conspiracy theory doesn't really make sense, except in the service of its real purpose, in my view, which is a swingeing indictment of Hollywood, the way it encourages us to throw our lives away on garbage and the way it grossly exploits women in particular. But really good point on the parallel with Chinatown. I hadn't thought of that.

John, you are hilarious. To paraphrase your reply : The topic of Rocket physics DOESN’T interest me at slightest-- and I believe for the same reason that you don’t want to know about “ conspiracies” in movies-- because we both have zero clue about these topics of choice . That said, why don’t you try to see if my Chinatown clue pans out via delving deeper into and utilising knowledge of genetics ( you’ll see that I am dead bang-on on the money , but what do I know , I am just a conspiracrazy looneywhacko 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️😂😂😂😂). I’ve only been deciphering movies for VISIBLE and OBVIOUS signs of subliminal programming for some 15 years now, that’s nothing, like fart in a wind, right? LOL! Ah, and I dread to inform you that “ Q” is a CIA- sub ranch of military PSY-OPPS “ intelligence” unit who’s JOB is to spread misinformation, disinformation & an outlandish shit such as “ saving children from catacombs “ by “ Trump soldiers”, LOL. If you think that Chinatown theory is o retesting, I’d pay a top dollar to see your jaw drop when you discover LUCIENT TECHNOLOGIES, Comnect it to ID2020 and connect ALL to Jarred Kushner( orange Cheeto’s sun in law, Ivan has husband ). But what do I know, LOL. I’ve traced some very questionable footage posted by supposed Q operatives & geostamps connect some of the gruesome images of abused children to paefophile videos originating in Thailand, but than again, what would a conspiracrazy looneywhacko like me know, LOL. ANYONE and ANY organisation which is posting literal torture p0rn involving children is malignant, do I really need to explain this to a grown man? So, btch, please-- do NOT associate me with paefophile military ops which is so called “ Q”, Allright? Please and thank you. Thanks for the random put down disguised as a compliment from a random man though, I live and breathe for cookie crumbs like these 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️😂😂😂😂😂😂

Thanks for your comment! I love this movie so much, and I'm always hoping it finds more of an audience someday, super underrated movie.

@@daniel_netzel 100%

Half of this video's script was discovered just by working on this video and rewatching the movie, it's like a never-ending Russian nesting doll

Disasterpeace is one of my all time favorite musicians, his scores in Mitchell's films in particular are incredible

i reference this movie in a lot of my work as it is one of my favorites too

It's possible, but honestly the movie just performed really poorly at the box office, and that's poison for a director's career

It’s a little hard to promote this kind of movie

For sure. 👍🏼

Definitely

Wow, thank you! It took a long LONG time so I'm glad it's appreciated 🙏

Thank you kindly!

Thank you!

And then the pandemic made everything horrifyingly clear xD

He stinks for society and women, like a homeless. But at the end, he smells nice for the neighbor. He literally becomes homeless. He doesn’t have anything valuable anymore. His journey to self happiness, life as simple things.

I appreciate it!

@@daniel_netzel Keep up the good work. Just because you don't post frequently does not mean that its content is of less value. May your channel grow.

Thank you for the kind words!

I certainly hope so, its quickly becoming an all time favorite for me

Thanks for watching! :D

Glad I could help uncover some new things!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Dio said , like a rainbow in the dark . Js

@@nikwickliffe1816 Pretty sure that in the outro says "You're a rainbow in the dark" . Have a nice day ;)

Thats a bit sad. Maybe you need to get a life...

Thanks dude, longest I've ever worked on a video lol

Dae you see that Kermode, “ deeply intellectual “ 👮🏻‍♂️

Heard Veles mention the movie today on Rogue News. Came looking for a good analysis. If it's Veles approved it must be worthy.👍

My pleasure, thank you for watching!

Oh man, this took watching the movie like 10 times to get everything figured out, and I had some help from reddit lol

@@daniel_netzel ah, reddit. Can't hope to count the number of times it has been a boon for my own work. Sometimes the best stuff comes from the weirdest places. I've been watching through some more of your videos since yesterday and this is my favourite kind of channel to stumble into. Excuse me while I ring that bell under the video title real quick.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you so much for saying so! It was a labor of love

So there wouldn't be continuity errors and stuff like that

Thank you! I highly recommend giving it a rewatch! I think it's just referring to the idea of all the bones that Hollywood is built upon, what lies under the silver lake are all the lost souls devoured by the city. That's my thought anyways

Movies were originally (silent era mostly) made with film containing silver nitrate which produced a very high quality image (better than what superseded) but made the films themselves highly flammable and so were outlawed.

@@daniel_netzelor under the silver screen…

I noticed that too with many other references to certain bands, actors, movies etc. I think that deserves a super deep dive…

and Hollywood allowed him to...
