If you're reading this for class in high school, actually read the book! When my class was reading the book, I didn't. I just watched the movie and got by. Now that I'm 25 and an avid reader, I'm reading the book that I should've read at 16 years old. I regret not reading shit that I was supposed to read in high school and college.

This analysis is so good. I show it to my students all the time. I love this version, and I adore your analysis.

i dont think Jim developed as a character. especially when we think of the ending…

What about damage to the eyes or the delicate connections in the brain...I remember as a child mom said don't sit to close to the t.v. because it's bad for your eyes..now the t.v. is being strapped to the head...

What are you talking about? The whole premisses of the book is that Nick tries to analyze why he has mote sympathy for a criminal trying to chase a pure dream than for so called 'decent citizens'

You know what? You're right. You know what else? I still like him. 😂

funnily enough, when we were analyzing this book just a few months ago in english class, the teacher COMPLETELY glossed over nick's character to focus more on gatsby, daisy, myrtle, and george i was completely unaware that nick and jordan were even in a relationship by the time i got to chapter 4 hell, when we first started, the teacher completely skipped an entire chunk of chapter 1 because it focused too much on nick, and i'm under the belief she referenced the 2013 film several times because it focuses more on gatsby's character i'm glad this video gave me more insight on nick and why i personally felt he was a really secluded and silent but bitter person throughout the book despite all that was glossed over, he ended up being one of my favorite characters and i appreciate the added context

Its written with a word today we don't say - but if you really watch movies and understand them - they are telling the same story but it's on film and they don't have to say the words - look at cold mountain for example - this has nothing to do with race - it's the idea of words are translated in films by just playing out what happens - the same people who want to ban this book (go back as far as field of dream in terms of cinema- and look at the author that plays a big role in it) these people today want this to be banned because its reinventing history to meet corporate commercial culture - a culture of fake squeaky clean stuff I despise - I'm so sick of censorship - both sides of the isle do it - but .. I understand the differences and - i feel almost like I have to say that - my channel revolves around a game where they inaccurately portray history - and in efforts to not come off as racially motivated I have to spend 80% of my time making sure I don't blast someone who isn't the right appearance - in the game its worse - you get penalized based on things like what people look like - which is .. racist .. we live in a dumbed down world where we surrender intellectual interpretation of past events and discussions to corporations made up of people who probably offend worse than any other - but make sure they proclaim they are virtuous so they can squeeze the little companies and suck the money out of our pockets using moral virtue. It's refreshing to hear some substantive discussion on such a unnecessarily sensitive and censored or fictionally re-created subject. Look what google tried to do with the launch of their AI tool .. This video is probably more relevant than ever - and it makes me so angry to be someone totally void of prejudice and so focused on substance to HAVE to support and work for companies that want it the dumb way- so they can make more $$ - and many distorting the focus of what we should be collectively discussing for the political (no sides here) utility of stoking and fueling the idea and existence of racism - It's so sad we can't tell a story from the time it happened in - nobody had a problem with HBO/CBC's early 2000s ROME, but we demand that more recent history conform to today's standards - I leave you with this one last though --- why is HBO's Deadwood regarded as one of the greatest series ever released - and how much different (if it all) is it from Twain's writings?

I’m writing this while watching the video, but I have to say: brilliant analysis here. Refreshing. For one, I think it’s fair to say there’s an integral dimension to Shakespeare that happens between the text, not within it. So any adaptation should consider not merely how to interpret and frame the text, but how to portray what happens outside and between it. Macbeth 2015 is my favorite adaptation, by FAR, for how it frames and contextualizes the text, and what it does to interpret what’s not in the text. You speak to this so well in your analysis of the film’s portrayal of violence, its emphasis on grief and trauma, and the importance of children. My favorite thing about this adaptation is its interpretation of the character of Macbeth. How he’s so haunted, regretful, grief-ridden, and, ultimately, how he embraces his fate rather than fighting against it. Many lines throughout the play imply his desire for death, yet I rarely see this embraced in adaptations or performances.

Well, now I want to play through Omori...

Theres something about the long time actor Denzel giving Macbeth an experience feeling to Macbeth youd almost think his ambition isnt outstripping his ability to do so. But that in a way makes the veteran officer part of his character hammer home the drastic means he falls into to keep the crown more assured as Macbeth would have been knee deep in blood from many battles that he could be desensitized to such violence.

But they’re often not ‘The Bard’s stories’. It is his adaptations of very old lore that make Shakespeare The Bard.

Idk about yall but I loved the cinematography and effects of TGG

I wish I could go back in time just to see the night sky, can you even imagine?

It’s sad how so many people will never see the stars how our ancestors saw them there’s something so godly about them

Great soundtrack🙏🙏Love from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦❤️❤️

I always wonder if Bluey is a kids show parents like, or a parenting show kids like.

2 daughters 6 5 and 7 Bluey and bingo, 2 daughters As of season 3, ages 5 and 7

The implied(?) unintended (?) message of the book and the film is a falsification of Christ teaching .Our Saviour never praised apostasy -under any circumstances. The apostasy veiled in compassion serves to create a caricature of Christianity - as mistaken stubborn, irrational ideology, caricature eagerly welcomed nowadays by left oriented audience. It is no surprise therefore that while Christian culture is now conveniently ignored - this particular movie is ...somehow not:) It serves well to dilute and perfidiously distort what the core of Christianity is - fidelity to Christ. By apostatising the priest simply sinned -and turned his life into vegetative state. Those who were responsible for tortures were those who inflicted them -not the missionaries .

Cookouts?

I was not 100% convinced on every point, but it was an astute reading with a great conclusion. Good job.

It's the domesticity of the setting that makes this so chilling. What Hannah Arendt coined the "the banality of evil".

Whenever I hear Bandit mentioned, all I think is; "Dad enters the room"😅

Glad I wasnt the only one to make this connection. Grwat video.

I’m still going through them with my daughter but ‘Cricket’ is my favourite episode. Most young children would struggle with the concept of what a flashback is but the creators of Bluey aren’t afraid of teaching the viewer something new.

One of the best looking and most atmospheric movies of all time.

Im 63, my parent, Mum 83 and Dad 85, watch this show every day. We love it. You laugh out loud, you cry and you rejoice in the wonder of it all. Long may it run.

Bluey is phenomenal, a rare piece of media that is for 'the whole family' in the truest sense. This is in stark contrast to almost every other supposed family-friendly content produced in the past decade. More than that though its a rare project where every single person working on it, from the writers, artists, VAs, director - literally everyone, seemingly got together and went, "Shall we all just turn in career best performances on this?" and they did. The writing is outstanding, every script is so tight - there are consistently more laugh out loud jokes, more character development, and more moving emotional moments in any given 7-minute episode than there are in most feature length films. The art direction and music composition are so beautiful and seamlessly integrated with the script to deliver poignant and joyful 'feels' almost every episode. And the VA work is exceptional - genuinely top draw comic timing with tonnes of nuance and emotion in the delivery of lines. It consistently reminds me of the film Paddington 2 with which it shares all of the above qualities - I think its easily one of the greatest films of all time, just as Bluey is one of the greatest TV series of all time.

If ever I were to buy one, I would just put a time limit on the device. And I would do that for my family, my friends, or friends of my family members.

I do believe this to be one of the best shows of all time

on the note of Nick approaching Tom in a “chummy” manner at the beginning of the movie, opposed to how he spoke of him initially in the book, I assume his vision of Tom was skewed over time hence why he wrote about him in that way. Meanwhile in the first meeting of Tom in the movie he is still unaware of all the things to unfold. By the time he writes everything down in the psychiatric institution he’s made up his mind about how Tom presents himself.

Great video, I love it when fiction tells us about who we are as people. Would you like to go over any books with us?

The biggest problem with the movie is Gatsby's background with Daisy. Daisy believed Gatsby was rich in 1917 and her learning the truth in was the reason she goes back to Tom. We know Tom is violent, so what's the odds he was violent with Daisy? She didn't leave him because she was afraid of the violence. She didn't want to marry a poor boy with money. The other interesting thing about Nick and women is his "affair" with a woman from the office. He had no qualms about it, but was worried about Jordan. The movie makes Daisy too sympathetic, as well. She is obviously a villain by the end, yet having her thinking about calling undercuts that. She let Gatsby die. She could have warned him of George or called the police. Would have been interesting to explore that idea in the movie. All that said, this is the best adaptation of the novel.

Lost me at vehicle.

Just watched today. Had to check how manny ppl were tripping out how similar it is post 2020 lol

Cilencione Cienpium! Fatutrium!

How did Will get the Oscar over Denzel? The award is hypocrisy made metal.

❤

I also hate how stereotypical Jordan and Nick's relationship was in the movie. The entire point of their relationship was that Nick didn't know whether it was romantic or platonic but its barely mentioned in the movie and Nick's ambiguous sexuality (the elevator scene) is entirely cut out of most adaptations. Instead they make Nick overly heterosexual by making him check girls out at every opportunity and it feels weird when you compare it to the novel or even the rest of the movie where he's very reserved and considerate about his fiancee's feelings.

I really like your essay dude.

I respect Gatsby because he actually worked for his own money. Not many people can do that today in spite of alcohol being freely available over the counter

Appreciate your insight. I really enjoyed the performances of both Denzel as Macbeth and Frances McDormand as Lady Macbeth, and I think you nailed the reason the characters were so relatable in this adaptation. Would also recommend your full analysis of this and the 2015 Michael Fassbender adaptation. Excellent literary analysis!

It would have been nice if they could have put an example of Denzel delivering his lines from Macbeth.

Today, Gen Alpha is being attacked, but unlike all the “”woke”” pronouns and climate change matters that boomers despise, its because of these adolescents’ humor and “memes”. I mean seriously, no matter how racist and conservative our parents and grandparents are, while calling us morally bankrupt and disgraceful, us 18-30s have still dropped all of these complaints to the side, and redirected our anger at… teenagers that laugh at a toilet with a head in it.

That's because he is a genius. He has a character of those of the past, the best of them and the best of us. It makes him able to span millennia.
