Rosemary's Baby - Beware Ridiculous Old People
Why are the villains in Rosemary's Baby so ridiculous? And why does that feel so resonant at the end of 2020? My first video essay on CZcams.

You want to make this about “old white people”? Dude you have no clue about what you’re talking about. Seriously, perhaps “grad school” didn’t help a lot in expanding your intellectual horizons.
I like your ideas on the ridiculous but their skin color is irrelevant.
I really liked Rosemary, but I sometimes wanted to bat her up side the head and knock some sense into it. Even after she read the book that Hutch gave her and became convinced that the neighbors were up to evil, she kept eating the cakes and drinking the concoctions that Minnie gave her! And she never questioned why Guy, whom she knew to be ruthlessly ambitious, was so close to them?
I hope you got a clue since you made this video of who is really gaslighting the nation. The irony is at the left, as a conscious philosophy, are haters of God. Just like the Castavets. Are you on your fifth booster yet? 🙄
The dorky sounding geek narrating has the most annoying voice. And of course the racist dragatory remark against white people was so predictable.👎🏻
this video sucks
I think the point is that they are not really 'ridiculous'; only Minnie and Roman dress so gaudily in the movie. It's about how innocuous or even friendly but ordinary people can be evil, too. And we don't suspect them because they don't fit the physical stereotype. That was very revelatory for the time. And, of course, in retrospect of a year later, it's ironic that in real life, it was a cult of evil YOUNG people who murdered director Roman Polanski's pregnant wife Sharon Tate on that fateful night in Beverly Hills. And, by the way, restrictive institutions exist in every country and society, even ones not filled with 'white people'.
Another scary fact: those old people are just you and me in a few short years.
Ironic, right?!? I was thinking the same thing. The clocks ticking.
Well, no, I would never be a Satan worshipper.
@@nassauguy48 Yeah, maybe not that.
One of my top 10 best films of all time! Top 3 of the 1960's !
You missed the whole point. These people are underground subversives. They didn't build any worthwhile institutions. They are intent on tearing down the institutions or using them to further Satanic projects. The Time Magazine is one example of how they are already doing this. People trust Time Magazine, but they shouldn't. Play the slow version of the Beatles' Revolution during the dinner with Minnie and Roman scene. Why did they take down their pictures? Because if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao, you ain't going to make it with anyone, anyhow.
Oh, boy, here we go. The " big bad old white rich people. The demons of society". Sounds like you're whining a bit about your own issues. Leave it to a woke male " Karen" . You're kind of a racist actually. This sounds like a perfect example of typical liberal gaslighting. I am getting a big kick out of your turning "Rosemary's Baby" into a subtle political leftist platform...well done😂
Says is a movie about gaslighting - gaslight its audience. No honey, responsible for building these institution might be the white people, but responsible for their incorrectly fuctioning are people like you who raise racial war, turning away the people from the real danger. Black, white, yellow, pink... to this day what it matters is ypur bank account, and trust me it dosent care about colours.
Bruh ...stfu -it was an awesome movie
Guy is the worst one and he is not a ridiculous character. He grows up to be Ziegler in Eyes Wide Shut.
He IS the worst one because he sold out his wife.
Jesus is coming soon be ready time is short ❤❤❤❤
Great commentary. Thank u for sharing.
You know, the conspiracy theories about the pandemic were shocking to me, and I don't appreciate being lectured about gaslighting during that time. It was a very real, very scary, global health emergency. What amazed me is that you believe governments would band together to enforce mask wearing and quarantining....like all the world governments and health organizations were some cohesive unit. So, I think this video was ruined by the idiotic voice over. I will make sure to block whatever stupid videos you put out in the future.
Hypernormalization, same themes..
Dr Hill was the biggest scumbag for not believing her
John Lennons house and death dakota building
Watching "Aunt Clara" raise her glass and say "Hail Satan," I fell in love with this film.
“old white”… Come to think of it a Haitian voodoo priest would’ve been awesome in this movie
I lived in a 1970s condo in arlington va the older people in my building were very nosey and bit creepy and yes they were wealthy white folks, one lady on my floor was quite snarky, she would sleep walk through the halls screaming for her dead husband, a older man above the 11th floor jumped to his death, I felt the building was cursed, it was plagued with many problems including the tenants.🤪
There's this one building about a mile away from me which is one of those-"bad karma buildings" mentioned by Hutch in Rosemary's Baby. First the building was used by this crazy woman as a front for selling drugs, then after she was arrested and sent to jail, the building was used as a normal clothing store by a woman who behaves just as weird as the other lady! Two different women totally unconnected to each other who both behave completely psycho. The only connection between the two women is the same building. I and everybody else avoids this particular building like the plague.
WHAT, ................ ? ......... "WHITE old people" ???? Listening to you ramble on, is enough to make ANYONE nuts ! You really need to get some help.
A woke progressive daffodil uses Rosemary's Baby to propagate anti-American reverse racism and classism. Must be nice to be a trust-fund prima donna.
I love that you had a problem with them being white, not them being satanic cultists.
Can someone tell Britta what an analogy is?
Shows how the USA has been turned upside down since the sixties. This movie is a reference book to what the hell happened.
The irony is that they to will become old white people. Just give it time.....tick tock..tick tock..tick tock.
@@hermanhale9258yes
Totally agree.
Muh whyts
Thank You So MUCH .......... . Producer and Narrator....
0:25 "old white rich people" = LGTB Woke stupid comment. bye.
The film doesn't belong to Roman Polansky???? Ok, I admit that he might have passed trough some dark moments but as a filmaker he is a master! One of the best ever! I can´t imagine this film made by someone else! Its a masterpiece of cinema! A Roman Polansky masterpiece!
I`m a ridiculous old poor white man
You're correct when you say rich old white men lie and control the world. What's funny is that you fail to realize they are all woke and promote wokeness by perverting certain groups and using them as tools to manipulate people. You are deluded 😂😂😂😂😂 I would suggest that you wake up, but perhaps for you ignorance is bliss.
Leave it to a libtard to review and ruin one of the best films ever made and novel ever written.
Biden!
The scariest monster ever: white men 😱
Yes I agree about hiding in plain sight and doing evil . There is someone pretending to be mentally unstable in the Whitehouse now . An insidious , evil perversion running the US . A mumbling , stumbling demon named Joe Biden. Maybe he squints constantly to hide his demon eyes .
Bored me senseless.
I was interested right up until they said "ridiculous, old, rich WHITE people" 😂 i didn't realize this was critical race theory
as someone who saw this movie in a theatre when it was first released sadly I feel nothing substantive has changed in our society, in fact the wealthy are more wealthy, privileged and narcissistic than ever before. as far as the performance of Ruth Gordon I always thought her an actress portraying an actress acting. a woman who deliberately presents herself as a simple innocent all the while plotting and scheming for complete evil. Gordon must have understood this and I think she was very convincing. Perhaps the banality of her cohorts makes it all the more disturbing.
I respect your analysis, but I profoundly disagree with the anti-Whitism.
Accepting anti-whiteness allows people a free pass to be anti-refugees, anti-Jew, anti-Irish etc, it should always be called out
Rosemary is lovely. She is the kind of woman who men would slay dragons to protect. Her childhood was mid-western and God fearing. It is reflected in her innocence and femininity which is what makes the movie work so well. You want to protect her because you intuitively know that what she represents is the essence of life and a worthy civilization. The betrayal is so awful because she is a thing of beauty and grace. That being said, her own greed and pressure on Guy to take that apartment put them in the orbit of witches. Her desire of a worldly, fashionable life (and a shallow actor husband) caused her to put her own faith to the side so she could enjoy the sophisticated pleasures of NY. She is confronted with her own betrayal when Roman starts criticizing the Pope which makes her very uncomfortable but she has already chosen sides in her soul. She is ripe for the picking - as was Sharon Tate.
One of my favorite movies, it is a masterpiece. The scene here at 06:14 is chilling: it is the acceptance of Satan's bargain (ie., career success for bearing Satan's child).
Actually, I find Rosemary‘s Baby to be quite similar to Stanley Kubrick’s version of The Shining. In both films, the problems the protagonist is experiencing could be just as easily explained as paranoid delusion, short of invoking the supernatural.
Well Rosemary's Baby, the Shining and Audrey Rose all have similarities-1. A young couple moves into a building which has an eerie reputation. 2. The husband turns out to be something of a traitor. 3. The child is the centre piece of the horror. 3. The young couple is warned by a man about the horror to come. 4. The story is mainly shown through the viewpoint of the wife character. 5. Like Rosemary's Baby, in The Shining, the husband character goes behind the wife's back to join a sinister group (a witch club, a group of ghosts). 6. In Rosemary's Baby, the husband hopes to get ahead in acting, in The Shining the husband is trying to get ahead in his writing career. 7. the couples eventually come into conflict with themselves (Rosemary learns that Guy is a witch, in Audrey Rose, Bill Templeton is a total sceptic about the paranormal events leading to conflict with his wife Janice, In The Shining, Wendy flees from Jack)
Beware disarming old men in bow ties……hey, wait! I’M an old man in a bow tie!! AND I have pierced ears - from my midlife crisis. 😮

Did you really need to attach your shitlib views into the video?
These old people want to have ever lasting life by choosing the wrong side...In reality your soul is burning in hell
I'm writing a film now related to a similar idea. This acceptance of lies (trump and the new republicans…not that the old guard didn’t lie, but this new group has perfected gaslighting and just brought their racism out into the open) and this happy bliss as our rights are being taken. Still, it’s okay because it’s “someone else’s” rights and not our own. They are blissfully walking straight into fascism. Your video essay was well done, and I don't believe for an instant you misunderstood the movie. It's funny to read the comments and see many likely older folks are up in arms at a video essay they disagree with. They are quick to scold you for not being inclusive of their beliefs. It's almost as if they were never used to not being in their echo chamber. They quickly become like the villains in the movie, trying to dissuade you from ever doing anything but listening to and agreeing with them. I am subscribing, and I look forward to seeing more of your content.
I’m not sure why you emphasise their race in the introduction. Pretty racist actually. You are inferring that people of a certain race are evil and it’s actually really really gross. Don’t be racist; it’s weird
He will become an old white guy just like the old white people he is talking about. It will happen faster then he thinks. I wonder how they all feel about their old grandparents voting?
LOL, the podcast comment was cute, but the reality of establishing 180 days as a benchmark that defines the difference between a conspiracy theory and the revelation of specific truths stands true. Being "over fifty" is an asset compared to the sickness of "book smart vs. life stupid," a common early-adult disorder mainly identified by the onset of specific symptoms such as an injudicious youth that both adheres to and propagates empty and destructive political ideals.
