Video

i always go back to this... the editing and the analysis is just so good <3

narrator voice too little girlish. doesnt go with subject matter; distracting

Brrrooooo hearing this is so painful she seemed so innocent and that innocence was stripped out of her

Soviet cinematography is superior ❤

These videos are a pile of shit

Will you marry me, the longer i watch this video i fall in love!

He has a tremdous intellect, kind of no wonder why he frew disillusioned with established relguon but still honoring his Christian roots. You cant just read the bible and not have it change you.i think this great as a scifi anime but it has a deeply spiritual aspects to it specially recognized as beingi g inspired by the bible and i think thats great.

As an Armenian I adooore going to the Parajanov house in Yerevan whenever I’m visiting the homeland. It’s such a cool experience and I hope one day you’re able to see it too!

Thanks

This is just so monotonous…..why are you just…..it’s like your reading from a book….it’s putting me to sleep as your voice has no cadence, no rhythm or….inflection. 😑😶 Very odd. It’s just…..boring 🤷🏼‍♀️ Your other videos from a quick listen of a few….aren’t monotonous like this. What gives? I couldn’t keep listening…..just meh. 🥱 To go on felt way too much like a chore. And I ADORE long winded high intellect film analysis. Basically this film always looked fascinating but now….it seems boring & much MUCH too xtian based and like it’ll be one monotonous monotone of boredom 🙄😂

pleas dont bring any quarentino,crap movies compared to this beautiful Japanese gems,

My boss had an 8 year old son who used to visit the office occasionally and everyone would say to his face how good looking he was. Drove me nuts. So I gave an office lecture, saying that if the kid was ugly they wouldn't be telling him how ugly he was. Appearance is biological, the luck of the draw. What I said was to compliment someone on their ACCOMPLISHMENTS, not on their appearance, which they had nothing to do with.

This is my introduction to this film. It’s 100% occult magic. No question.

yt algorithm worked this time! great analysis, great narration, ill have to watch this one!

So many white women look Latina 😂 they try so hard to look Spanish or black…thick lips , slim thick body tan and exotic striking features….

Read the books/manga along with Path of the Assasin and Lone Wolf and Cub. I rather enjoyed all of it.

Found you video on The Color of Pomegranates and thought so well of it im checking out your other vids like what i see and you earned a sub, so keep up the good work!

Id have to say the whole homosexuality/bi sexuality unless it cam from his own mouth was a smear campaign by the soviets to diminish his standing with others. Judaism and to a further extent Christianity has been problematic for the Soviets as scripture/principles is obviously anti communist. Thr Armenians actually have went thru some horrible stuff thru history even genocide/holocaust. Their accusations of homosexuality says more about the Soviets insecurity. When I see the "homoerotic" parts I just dont see it I actually see refrence to Christian iconography/art alot of it refrence to burial rites.

I find it ridiculously ironic that this sexual adult animated nightmare fuel came out the same year as the beautifully emotional and heartwarming Hanna Barbera family film Charlotte's Web.

The film is an ode to white fragility, how white females would like to see themselves..nothing more

I could only listen a few minutes. I found the narrator's upward inflection at the end of each sentence too much. Chalk. Black board. Its a shame because the content looks really interesting.

This was a wonderful video. I was looking for videos on this movie and I got so much joy and unexpected knowledge from this :) thank you!

1:58 is wear it mentioned.

Leave it to Marty to know about this.

Excellent commentary!

Why do so many people care about weather or not he was nationalistic? He has a beautiful country, of course he should be nationalistic, nationalism is always good.

The film looks so beautiful, and the extensive review ahead of me (to watch at least for awhile) may well be one of the few reviews I have ever enjoyed When I saw the video title, I did think it was going to be about extracting the different hues possible in a natural process & using them as dyes. Nonetheless, thank you algorithm for providing this intriguing film/video to wake up to

I totally hate that everybody paints Gatsby inside a good light while Daisy is painted as the villain. Everyone was bad but I'd say Gatsby was the absolute worst. He's somehow been forgiven for stalking Daisy and watching her house like a creep outside, scheming a plan to get her back, and feeling entitled to her. Gastby was the catalyst of everything that happened. If Gatsby never reunited with Daisy, Mrytle wouldn't have died, Wilson wouldn't have died, and Gatsby wouldn't have died. Gatsby chasing after that green light that was too far away caused his demise. Like TLC said," Don't go chasing waterfalls" Gatsby chased after a dream rather than reality, he didnt care to understand that Daisy was an actual human who changed over time, he wanted her to be how she was in the past. He doesn't accept her for who she is, he wanted her for who she *was*. Gatsby lit the fuse for every problem in this story only for it to blow up in his face in the end.

It's revolting how open the director is with his attraction to children. To say he's not as pretty now that he's a year older(16) demands this guy be investigated. Who knows what's happened to this kid?

I did see this when the restoration came out, but can't remember much about the plot. 😂

I also want to say that I think the reason that the film was suppressed is because it is not naturalistic, rational, linear, and all of the other things that were so important to Soviet era art. It was just outside of the box and was probably for that reason alone considered immoral and corrupt. I can sympathize with them because their state was relatively new and they wanted to have a coherent message which would inform citizenstowards the direction they wanted to have in their particular state which was communism. I’m not a fan of communism by any means, but I do sympathize with their intent to suppress this piece of art, especially since they were bankrolling it I think they believed in artists per se, because they were communist enough to support the making of the art but when they saw what it was, they knew that they could not promote it. It just happened at history and I’m so glad that we can enjoy it in the present form as being fully restored. I’m really excited to get to know this work.

The truth is about this film that because it is so symbolist and flowing in its imagery, almost like dream like that it lends itself, perhaps over much, to a phenomenon known as paradol. This means that people might overlay or project their longing for their nationalistic impulse, or some other thing that is important to them, over the iconography, when it is not intended to symbolize this at all. I think the best approach to this is, like most modern art, to simply relax into it, and allow your own mind to gather the impressions, and suggest to you over the course of the entire experience, what it might be about, and to allow your consciousness to address itself to anything that naturally sticks out to you and calls to you and to feel free to ignore anything that does not speak to you. I think that is one of the most legitimate uses of modern art.

A whol lot of hate from lying haters on this thread, as well as the snow flake/Nazi who put it together.

I have no idea

What always strikes me as interesting, is that there was nothing in the egg once the warrior had smashed it. No fluid, no fetal creature, its empty

I don’t see it. He simply looks like a girl.

This movie changed me

My first taste of this wonder was I gues fan made Juno Reactor Video of God is God.

Thank you for the breakdown of this film. This film is way above my head. It’s giving me a very uncanny valley vibe and as of right now, I cannot handle that. What I will say is the setting, location, textures, costumes are alive and impregnated with meaning thus serve as inspiration in art.

I am watching your videos for a year, yet I was so surprised seeing a hour and half long video about Parajanov. As an Armenian, I want to say express my gratitude, thank you very much 🧡🧡🧡

Reminds me of a music video Juno Reactor put out in the 90s. The song is call "God is God".

Lore of An Analysis of The Color of Pomegranates (1969) momentum 100

Hypothesis: They're kinda red Conclusion: yea they kinda red

I have some pomegranate Nike Jordan 1’s.

“all I know is one of us is supposed to kill the other. isn’t that what they mean when they say lovers?”

Good to see this, one of my favorite directors. I haven't seen Ashik Kerib, but Pomegranates and Suram Fortress are profoundly beautiful expressions of what the camera can show. To me, Parajanov is the same as Bresson and Powell and Pressburger, the camera being used for a new style with infinite artistic possibilities.

Omg. I can’t tell you how thankful to you I am. I have been searching for the name of this film for over 30 years. It came on late at night on PBS. It always haunted me. Thank you

Hollyweird as usual from way back

I find some similarities to a film titled "Holy Mountain"; symbolism and visual storytelling greatly overshadowing dialog. Would be interested in your perspectives on that work if you've had the chance to view it.

Ohh, this is great, thank you so much! I know that there's an in-depth analysis of the film's symbolism in Russian which unfortunately hasn't been translated into English, and I was never able to find any equivalent analysis. I'm so glad to see that that gap has now been filled!
