I take a drink every time she says intertextual.

Adam Sandler is one of the WORST actors ever

I wish there were more content creators like this. Well put and educational.

You know what is funny about mankind and their concept of accomplishment? The fact that no human alive has actually achieved goodness. Goodness is a standard that is only stipulated by Jehovah God almighty. So when man tries to make highfalutin words to try and overshadow the concept of goodness like: “Great” “Outstanding” “Exceptional” “Amazing” “spectacular” or whatever word is invented over the past 7000 years since Adams eating from the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Bad, man still has fallen short of ever achieving good as a title. So please, stop fooling yourselves into thinking for one moment that Great is somehow better then Good. Which no man has ever achieved. Thank you, this has been a public service announcement.

Beautiful, thank you!!

I love how armchair, terminally online movie nerds with faux knowledge have made and continue to make Michael Bay a punching bag for everything wrong with cinema yet filmmakers from Spielberg to Scott to Nolan to Trier have all publicly praised him.

Hollywood keeps ripping off itself and that’s why Hollywood sucks now

You made it brief and clear. Great work

That was a poor start using 1917 considering that wasn’t a copy or a tribute - it was a mistake as confirmed by the director. He didn’t mean to bang into someone and fall. He just got up and kept on going and the director was shouting keep going.

Incredible video. Thank you.

More than anything, i really admire the knowledge of cinema that the creator has… at times, we see a lot of movies and we get invested in it so much that we dont actually draw the parallels between scene unless its very direct… but kudos to you, for making such a highly intellectual video… 👏🏻

Very very well done video 👏👏

Fury Road and Furiosa: more badgers. You can say the same of music: *what* we say never changes, only *how* we say it.

It's not the fallacy of originality, but the ubiquity of plagarism.

1:27 He can be too much & maybe overkill to some peers but as an actor, I 100% agree with that quote. Getting cast professionally, budget & time on the table, big project with the pressures that come with that, PLUS getting PAID big money (compared to 94% of working actors) makes you work obsessively. I've been there, for way, WAY, less money.

Thank you for putting this video together, really beautiful to see all of these different and inspiring takes throughout the decades of filmmaking!

The only time I will ever hear "But what about Transformers 2?" in my life.

for example, some mad max old movie, they were feeling that emotion of hand with chain ripped off, danger, situation and new movies are SHIT 😂 it was ok at 3d but last serie but its not felt that as youre entering this world. robocop1 is a great masterpiece. odyssey2001. and what the fuck are you doing? just taking old scenes and recteate it straight to a new UNWATCHABLE SHIT you making 😂 its UNWATCHABLE, A TORTURE 🤣 find some writers, or artists etc that can feel and express the emotions. some old theatrical school for actors etc. wtf, man 😂 youre making horrible garbage

but geniouses can create something from so many thoughts, signs, seengs, abstract recreation etc that it looks new. and you in midern industry dont. 😊 you cant feel some energy, like some frank frazetta or syd mead etc, course youre incapable of that 😋 i think tou should make and sell shoes or something, that all youre ancestors were doing 😂

Porno is really bad for this....

Great video!

"Style is when you begin stealing from yourself." --Alfred Hitchcock

You’ve successfully made the argument against Welles’ statement - there is so much to be learned from the possibility of cinema by movies (or rather anything visual) made before you. I think that, usually when starting out, students of film will often seek out all these shot decks from previous movies and every piece of their film is an homage. But I also think that can be one of the best ways to learn (because you’ll eventually understand why it works).

I think a good director and writer, beyond all odds, go into projects believing they can achieve originality. I think anybody who sets out with the mindset that everything has been made screw it let’s do something, that’s just incorrect

Wait these are all recalling from a previous film but the “previous” film would be the original? So yeah there’s originality

This is such a great channel-please keep going!

Don't agree with that concept, the original must be cherished and the "homage" crowd and the "stealing" bros have to give credit to the original, otherwise it feels theft tbh.

Maybe a stretch, but I think the sound of the floor polisher could also foreshadow the sound of the tattoo machine later

Everything is a remix (redux) (2024 edition) (hd) (new, never before seen footage) great work guys

Anyone know the music at 12:30?

When Baron Harkonen came out of the goo I literally stood up for a second in the theatre before promptly planting my ass back down

Perhaps when a director steals something, it's to make themselves look good at the expense of someone else's creativity. To use inspiration from other sources to make your piece work though, is more of a collaboration and an homage

Beautiful video, makes me inspired to create!!!!!!

17:20 -- this move,ent remind me soviet film Soy Cuba, one of the greatest camera works in cinema history

I'm not forgiving y'all for ruining "The worst person in the world" for me

Great work! Great channel - subscribed :)

Movies fucking rock.

You misunderstood the point Welles was making with homage. The first generation of filmmakers drew almost all of their inspiration from outside the world of film - and created new cinematic language as a functional way to translate those inspirations to film. Welles himself famously came from theatre and radio, and directed "Citizen Kane" with what he described as complete ignorance of filmmaking. But beginning around the 1960s, a new generation of filmmakers were emerging that had been raised on film and took a lot of their inspiration from it. Some of their work celebrated cinematic language itself, rather than using it as a tool to convey something with it. Sort of like doing an impression of Einstein to evoke the emotional response to intelligence, rather than saying something intelligent. This is fine in small doses, and in the early years this fresh perspective of the film school generation gave rise to a lot of new and exciting filmmaking - but by the time Welles gave that speech, homage had become an ouroboros. Film, as a cultural institution, had started down the path self-awareness and self-referentialism - which is the deathknell of an artform. In-jokes and meta references may be fun for people who're already fully-immersed in a subculture, but to everyone else they're tedious and annoying. That's not to say filmmakers shouldn't draw inspiration from cinema - nor that people shouldn't do impressions. When done properly, both can elevate and entertain in a unique and interesting way. But it takes very little to overdo it, and when overdone it quickly becomes cringeworthy. That's why Welles made such a big point in his speech for the students to seek adventures outside of the filmmaking bubble. The idea being art comes from the struggle to translate a unique experience into the medium of film - and in order to do that, you need have those experiences first.

What an amazing video!!! Keep it up!!!

"The difference between an artist and a great artist is the great artist never reveals who he stole from". Pablo Picasso

The great Quentin Tarantino himself admitted that he steals from everyone. He even once said if you’re not stealing from the greats you’re doing it wrong.

Then there's George Lucas who just steals and says it's his

Idk if I agree with your interpretation of Welles, Homage as he defines it is much more about cueing in an audience through reference and not as taking inspiration. I think another issue he raises in that talk (it’s been years but I remember it fairly clearly) is the fact that these filmmakers only refer to film and not other art, which handicaps them

The obsession with “Don’t Look Now” is amazing. Great fucking film. Masterclass in editing

This was such a good video. Thank you so much.

With a little research one may find Orson Welles' comment about homages was itself an homage - with all the irony he often intended. Maybe.

This video was so well done and informative. Thank you for sharing it. It's the first video I have seen from your channel, and it prompted me to subscribe.
