I totally agree with you about Challengers! You’re right that Tashi’s character was so underdeveloped- had no idea she was meant to be from a working class background (!) - and it felt like a really empty film. It’s more of a “style over substance” film for people who want to thirst for the main cast, and I’m not sure how everyone else is getting so much emotion and thematic weight from it 🤔

Thank you so much for watching Emily! Beyond touched by your enthusiasm for the film! X

The underwater scenes were actually filmed in sea world

Very interesting video. I only really disagree with the very end of your essay, on the obsolescence of glory. It may be absurd in the modern world for men to pursue honor and glory, but it remains necessary not only for their mental health, but also for the preservation of society as a whole.

thank you so much for this video, it made me appreciate him even more

You speak out the sentence I feel but don’t know how to put it together ❤

So happy I found your channel today! 🙌🏻 Thank you for your videos I love them 💕

great video, did you think about doing this for season 3 and/or Mako Mermaids ?

PERFECT DAYS IS SUCH A GOOD MOVIE, Bad it didn't won Oscar award

Wonderful video!

9:38 - 11:15 Imagining I'm a male filmmaker: Tbh I don't fully understand this argument. I agree with the notion that empowerment should not mean women filling stereotypical male societal roles. But what do you mean "acting like a man?" Realistically, how are we supposed to portray women in film? It doesn't matter what actions we depict, they're always going to be interpreted as "stereotypically masculine" or "stereotypically feminine." We can't win. Should we just abstain from depicting women at all to avoid being criticized by feminists? No, I don't think that's the right answer. So realistically, what can we do? No matter how we portray women, feminists will find a reason to be upset about it. We can't win. So why should we even try?

19:46 maybe sweat from people touching it a lot and it was hot outside as it’s Australia

1:02 glad your video wasn’t taken down for the knife -

The colour orange was banned from my brother's wedding. I don't think you would have survived it

this is so dumb

Just leaving a comment to say I really enjoy your "What I Watched" videos. Have you seen "The Royal Hotel", the latest movie by Kitty Green? I would be very curious to know your thoughts about it.

Not exactly a "bad dream" feeling but a movie that left me feeling gross after was Nocturnal Animals

Impressed by L'amour L'apres Midi, I'm going through Rohmer's other 5 "Moral Tales". Your thoughts really helped me understand my appreciation for this genre.

Sub earned

4:26 dont mind it writers did too 😅

How i love this show that was my first show ever watched and it was my childhood

Well done!

Air has water particles so Emma can freeze practically anything she wants so yes she can freeze the door they powers could be limitless if they put there minds to it facts

I really enjoyed this video essay. It was well-structured and incredibly thought-provoking. Thank you for sharing - Subscribed!

I love listening to your film diaries. You have the most soothing voice! Please keep making more of this content

also watched la chimera today, I think you'll like it

so here for the eric rohmer video

Poor women. Let's omit any and all men in Tarantino's work.

I wonder if the point being missed is that rather than nothing really happening, quite a lot is actually happening but not in the ways we are perhaps programmed to expect, we expect to be spoon fed a story but these 'slow films' demand that we pay attention and perhaps watch it a few time as the film is communicating on a different sensory level.

Unironically the best video I've ever seen - you literally said all of my internal thoughts out loud, and related them back to one of my favourite films. I first saw Frances Ha when I was 17 and I'm sure it means a completely different thing to me now than it did then. Even when the feeling of general doom and suffocation about being where I am in life gets to be a lot, this video helped make it feel just a little less lonely. Thank you, this was genuinely great

Very interesting insight.

This is really interesting very good points made. I do disagree with the last couple of things you said though. I promise you that kind of love does exist and everyday romance is BETTER than in the movies. You just have to find the right person ❤

"Ignoring the reality of love a little longer; at the movies!!" Brilliant!! This made me tear up a little! Thank you!!

Pausing the video to say this; I noticed how you said "fantasies" and inserted Mr Darcy's hand scene! Brilliant haha!

Great video!

Literally what I’ve been trying to tell people. Couldn’t have said it better!!

as always, you have worded it so well. Amazing!

this video needs to be seen by more people. it is criminally underrated!

🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲 So so so beautifully written!

🥺🥺🥺 this video got me speechless. Thank you it was really good

loved this!!!

hugh dancy aging out of twinkdom killed the romcom

is it far too late to convince you to do season three? i’m literally on the edge of my seat waiting

Back with a bang 🎉🍾

The Evil Within Natural Born Killers(crazy underrated) Climax Vivarium Alice in Wonderland 1999 Mulholland Drive Cabin in the woods These are my favourite fever-dream-like movies yet. I hope to find more that give me the same feeling.

I love how the most pg 13 thing in this show is Rikki’s “where naked” and the kissing, but this explanation is just swearing every second sentence😅

I need to update my watchlist

you should watch perfect blue if you havent already. but like consider looking up the triggers first. theres a number of disturbing things in the movie but specifically id like to warn about the SA scene
