Excellent. Some of those Leigh characters are cringeworthy though. Life is Sweet is pretty much unwatchable for me because of this. Mike could have underplayed those characters and had a more effective film.

@@ThomasPollock95 *A Clockwork Orange* was shown to us at school in 1972. I went to a boarding school in Dorset back then and I was just 14.5 years old. It was shocking and exhilarating knowing it’s a future society’s attempts at corrections. Beethoven’s music was glorious. Kubrick’s attention to detail phenomenal as usual. The movie was quite polarizing and Kubrick withdrew it from the UK theaters. - The 1970s gave us great new directors: Coppola, Spielberg, Scorsese, Friedkin.

@@ThomasPollock95 - Milton Abbey School in Dorset was a great boarding school when I was there in the early 1970s. The original Milton Abbey was commissioned by King Athelstan who is well known as the first King of England (his grandfather was Alfred the Great). - On another note, I’d second Sorcerer (1977) as an overlooked masterpiece of the 1970s. I think it’s Friedkin’s best film, that is, even better than the stellar The French Connection (1971) and The Exorcist (1973). Sorcerer was kind of a remake of the French movie The Wages of Fear (1953) but the thrills are off the charts with the accompanying Tangerine Dream score. Friedkin spends the first half hour delving into the criminal background of each of the four main characters. Just a fantastic film. It didn’t do well at the box office because it came out a month after Star Wars.

as a person from the closed 1960s adoption era,who searched and found my birth family Mike Leighs Secrets and Lies is so close to the reality that it jumps from the screen..the emotions of everyone..the meeting with the social worker, the first meeting with the mother the denial,the silences, the other secrets that rise to the surface, the stupid things people say, the emotions that have no words truely well researched and acted,but saying that the one that makes me most uncomfortable is Abigail's party

Great video! I love Mike's films. I first saw "naked"... i think it's still my favorite. David thewlis gives such a great performance..such a despicable and nihilistic character..but still with so much charisma that you can't help but be transfixed "Life is sweet" is another favorite..and I love that it seems like the polar opposite of naked..the main character is very troubled..but I love the optimistic way that the other characters trudge on in life and find humor at the fundamental absurdity of their situations. Mike has such great range in his work. Humor, tragedy and heart and soul .. he seems to work on another level when compared with most other film makers.
@ThomasPollock953 ай бұрын
Indeed Thewlis does an excellent job of playing a detestable nihilist! But you can't help but be fixated on his wanderings and take elements of truth from what he says.

Thanks for this 70s Movie Marathon, very engaging and thoughtful comments on all of these 50 films, and in an order I personally related to. It was a great surprise to discover your #1 70s film to also be mine, and for similar reasons. I would add, that for me, the selection and use of the audio was truly genius, and the "ballet" of the scenes was so compelling and mesmerizing that I did not even focus on the plot until 3 or four viewings later, and this was back in the 1970's when you had to go to theaters to see movies. There were a few films I still have not seen on your list, so thanks again for this 70s Movie Marathon

I have seeing Another Year several times. I don't know why, but every time, it gets under my skin. I feel that the couple at the center of this story is not just contempt but arrogant in their happiness. I also felt a deep sorrow for the character of Mary and how her desperation is palpable. Or maybe it's their treatment of Mary that I despise. Now I feel like an angry character of his movie Happy Go Lucky! Not that I'm unhappy for their happiness, but it never really feel genuine in my opinion. I guess, what's frustrating to me is how the group of friends surrounding this couple are all in a state of despair. And their happiness is sort of link with this group. I feel they are saying "Look how unhappy they are in comparison to us".

This was actually a popular TV show of FUJITV, and the studio proposed Gosha to make the adaptation to the big screen, something that never happened before in the japanese cinema. The poor Gosha lived a hell on the set, because in japanese traditional studio system you begin from the bottom to little by little become a filmmaker, but he came from the television and nobody understood why he had to become a director so easily, so his team was so jealous and bullied him a lot...💧 Finally the movie was a hit and everybody had to shut up🎉👏🏻

Thanx so much for sharing! I had been looking for a version of The Navigator, with appropriate music, that wasn't colorized, and here it is! Thank you so very much! Buster Keaton. What a man. He could do it all. And did! No CGI. What you saw was all Buster. Wrote. Directed. Produced. Acted. Comedy. Drama. Composed, played, and sang. Danced. Conceived and executed stunts. Designed and built machines and props for gags. The famous watertower torrent broke his neck! (Sherlock Jr. --- Buster didn't account for such water pressure And he didn't know he'd broken his neck 'til years later at a routine exam when his doctor told him so.) And, oh, that well-known falling housefront bit! (Steamboat Bill Jr. --- He only had about a 2" clearance in that window.) Quite impressive! The Great Stone Face. (Buster found out during his time in vaudeville with his parents, that if he laughed during a bit, the audience didn't, so he trained himself to keep a straight face all the time.) The Greatest of All Time! A really Great guy. The true Iron Man: broke most every bone in his body, and kept going. And . . . He had pinpoint accuracy with a custard pie at 27 feet, even in his later years! RIP, darling Buster, and thanx so very much for the magic, music, and memories. (Yes. I absolutely adore Buster Keaton. For 70+ years now.)

Love this movie got it on blue ray and 4K for my recent 30th birthday. Plato was misunderstood all he wanted was love and a family. Jim Judy and Plato are flawed characters but yet you still sympathize with them. I can watch this movie any day. The mansion scene when Jim Judy and Plato act like a family is one of my favorite film moments in film history.

I've noticed something curious in this review of the film. The first scene where Lester is talking with his boss in the middle of the room arguing about the hooker, has the framing extended showing his feet and the boss's desk in the shot in this version unlike the other version I'm used to that's been analysed in other videos it shows his feet disappearing into the floor as it's more close-up which represents the puny state he's in before his boss. I actually thought this was all clever and deliberate framing from Mendes' part, but now I realise that in the real extended shot he is meant to be sitting down that far from his boss so it's not all clever framing from close-up haha
