/* ---- VIDEO INFORMATION ---- */
Ok so Monkey Man is now out and Dev Patels action packed film packs a punch that that's made it one of my favourite films of the year so far.
Throughout this video we're gonna talk about it's deeper meaning and also what we thought about the movie. If this is your first time here then welcome to the Heavy Spoilers show, I'm your host Paul. This is the channel where we go bananas and breakdown all the big movie releases. Obviously it's heavy spoilers ahead and if you enjoy it please hit the thumbs up. Dont forget to subscribe if you enjoy the video and we'd of course love to hear your thoughts on it in the comments.
With that out the way, thank you for clicking this, now let's get into Monkey Man.
-
Now the film itself opens with the story of Hanuman and we get a crash course on the legend. I'm not too familiar with the Hindu deity but obviously the figures iconic and has influenced a lot of myths and stories. In the beginning we learn Hanuman was looking at the trees which is when he spotted a juicy shiny mango. Reaching for this he realised it was the Sun and the other Gods punished him.
This ties heavily into the film and it's here that we're also introduced to Kid. Now in the film he takes on several different monikers including Bobby which is the name I'm gonna use for the video. Turned out that when he was younger his home was raided by a corrupt police force in order to strip the people of their land. This was under the guidance of Baba Shakti who's a religious figure that's been attempting to gain power in the country. Using his followers and the police as a weapon he's stripped the land from people and has ruined India's infrastructure. Now he's in bed with the politicians as they head towards a landslide victory on the night of Diwali.

The symbolism where kid beats the chief to death with the shoe is like he was avenging all the women he treated poorly in the movie
I thought that too lol
Spent two years creating vfx for this, saw it on a huge cinema screen last night... loved it. So happy for Dev and everyone involved.
Thanks for your work. This film was amazing.
Watched it today. Great flick! Nice work
You did a great job! It was such an amazing viewing experience
Congrats!
respect! best movie ive seen in theaters in years
I really hope this doesn't get a sequel, I think it stands well on its own. I'd rather see Patel create and direct another different film.
Yeah, it gets it's point across very well I find making a sequel for a movie that ends like this would feel bizzare and dishonest, that being said I'd still probably watch it by how cool the action was, but story wise it ends pretty well
So you don't want him to become a super hero? 😂 I need 60 films set in this universe.
A sequel like... Nick Fury coming out of the shadows, steps over Shakti's corpse and says, "Monkey Man, you've just become a part of a bigger universe". Something like that? 😋
@@BlackLeonardoMusicOnb we need a film where he gets recruited by some special agency and fights assassins all across the world expanding from just India
I love the John Wick call out. The underground fight promoter is iconic. The music is phenomenal. As someone that lost their Mother at a young age this movie really hit me ❤. Camera work is fun and immerses you in.
Yes! A lot of people weren’t happy with the close ups and shaky cam but it was all used very well and strategic. It showed the claustrophobic, trapped nature of an animal backed into a corner and the need to become violent and brutal to fight your way out no matter what!💪🏿💪🏿
Monkey Man x John Wick x Jason Bourne crossover is the Endgame we need and deserve.
Sadly John wick is a fictional character in this film
The movie shows how religious figures and other leaders who are part of the system does not respect god(using the sandals of nonviolence as a weapon)but uses god as weapon against people(like to build factory with slave labor which he says is commune with volunteers etc)
In ramayana ram destroyed evil on Diwali with the help of hanuman, in this story dev patel is hanuman helping us(asking us) to fight against the corrupt system making us ram who fights against rhe system
@In_box_On_TheHeavyspoilers I have a fever and won't be able to talk and this is my observation and I am not part of the movie
Same thought
"Ramayan" is the story of Ram & his devotee Hanuman, not Mahabharat.
@@lanhikari1616 sorry corrected it
Ahem *pro - Palestine protest*
I saw the movie today to avoid spoilers and boy…….i have to see it again, when it comes out in digital of course
This movie was a treat. It may look brutal but it’s comedic too and it’s not forced. It’s like you’re watching a story not a movie.
I’ll recommend Monkey Man ten times out of ten
Very informative.
Thanks man
It's also deep and inspiring
@@chibuikechristopher324 hope your cinema makes sure the movie work I W ent to this movie twice and the sound came off😂🤣😂🤣
The reason this film was not released by Netflix is due to the political environment in India at the moment. The film is critical of right wing government mistreating marginalized people, and the government in India is taking aggressive measures against government criticism, including threatening to raid and jail the executives of companies that release any media that is critical of the government. Netflix was afraid the film would compromise their relationship with the Indian government and put them at risk, so they were willing to let it go. Additionally, one of the producers on the film filed bankruptcy, which left it with no financial support for release. Jordan Peele saw the movie and thought it deserved a full release and wanted to support, which is why Monkeypaw stepped and has so heavily promoted the film with Peele's name as executive producer.
So basically peele saved this movie
completely incorrect
Modi the leader of the "right wing" Indian govt has the highest support among all the leaders of the world by their own people. This means upto 80% of Indians support Modi and the "right wing' govt. This is available as a survey report at the Morning Consult website a western polling firm. The farmer protests were driven by Money derived from a terror group the Khalistanis who are based in canada and want to break India and create their own separate state. Whatever the agenda these guys want peddled, Indian govt and people are having none of it. Indians run India they see fit. Also the amount of political polarization is one the least in India where modi, and his "right wing" govt is expected to win a third term at the greatest landslide election victory possible. Compare this to your own countries, the near civil war USA and the completely broken UK. Dont take my word for it, see " 2023 Edelman Trust Barometer ". So before you peddle your half informed knowledge about the rest of the world .. first understand that you now absolutely nothing while there are people living happy in places you want to judge as backward, happier than you
@@saibabanewage2034 majority of Indians will only support party which pays them the highest to vote. Let’s not forget the scandal about swapping votes either. May BJP and all the hindutva fall in their mission to destroy India. All you guys do is copy British way of reigning with divide and rule - persecuting all minorities will lead to your own downfall.
I love seeing Paul in the videos 😄
@@saibabanewage2034Nice job editing...
Love the symbolism when he bleaches the monkey mask white. It was foreshadowing of that the darkness all around (corruption and violence) was about to be extinguished by the light.
loved every second of the movie. it was perfectly paced with such a beautiful plot. can't wait to rewatch
Dev has come a long way from Slumdog Millionaire.
skins*
@@Elodie12313stupid bjp simp.
@@kealanclarke8088 he was in both of those to be fair though
I got a sneak peek two days ago and the action is tight. Dev did good fights, and the emotional scenes with his pain came across well. Hope he gets to continue growing as a director.
The fictional city shown in the movie seems like the birth of an Indian version of Gotham city
It's just mumbai, the rich living on top the slumps
Not related to the video but just want to show appreciate to the channel. I appreciate that instead of milking other trending topics, you guys do other shows instead. Keep up the great work, Paul and Team.
The tabla (hand drums) player is musician Zakir Hussain.
He has played as part of many bands, notably Shakti, and performances and when he does he's playing very fast for a LONG time.
It was pretty funny to see him get tired out during the call and response training he did with the MC.
I was delighted to see him get a few scenes to just show off!
I watched it this evening. I love all genres, but action/thrillers are my favorite. I gave this movie a 10 - its stunning and it's the first movie ever (to include The Raid: Redemption - which is a favorite) - that I wanted to immediately rewatch. I'm excited for others to see it. Beautifully shot, the action is just like - whoa - and there is a really cool element that I won't give away in terms of how characters are used as he moves beyond his original core motivations to keep them a priority while also expanding. SO GOOD.
Saw this movie last night and cant stop watching every YT video about it, about Dev, about the utterly stunning Sobitha and everyone related to this movie. Loved your review as it expresses all i want to say about the film. Its aa good as thr John Wicks. Its crisp and so well made. Kudos to Dev and his team. We're going to hear and see a lot more of this remarkable man.
Thank you for covering this! Great film, I hope it makes a ton of money, Dev is really that guy man. Shout out to Peele for pushing it too.
Love that this video opened w/an ad for Monkey Man. Ha.
Seeing it Tuesday.
It definitely takes inspiration from John Wick, but I also feel like some Slumdog Millionaire made its way into the film.
Seeing the real corruption going on in India making a spot in the film just made it feel so real and applicable, and that religion is used to further corruption. Ive seen people trash this movie, but I'm so glad it's getting love. Definitely getting it when it comes out in physical
i love people when they are talking about my country. even they talk about movies. love u paul, i have been watching ur channel and movie breakdowns since almost 2 years. i love the theorytime u do❤. Keep doing, there is much more with india in more than one way if u really look into it.
This was excellent. Top Reviewing.
The movie does an incredible job using Hindu myths to critique Hindu fundamentalism while staying within the action genre. “You can only deconstruct what you love.”
Hindu fundamentalism ?? A community which was enslaved for 800 years when stepped and said NO we wont tolerate this , criticised for being fundamentalists ?! Ok
brother can you not see what's happening America and Britain with the calls for destruction of Israel by some minority communities?
Yooooo I was thinking his martial arts prowess and the way the myths described hanuman really makes me happy that this is my modern day live action monkey king
Movie was great asf! I really enjoyed the entire film. Glad I went to an early showing
This is the movie we actually we all needed this year I wonder if they will do a second movie
I know people will say it would feel a bit ironic but I actually hope they do a sequel because after all that I really hope that he could still be alive even though the ending was left ambiguous but anything could happen in the future
Honestly, I really liked the first half. The world of the underclass in India and Dev playing the opportunistic jobber who pushes forward with his plan no matter how underprepared he really is. But then they include magic to explain the massive 180 in ability and it kinda falls flat for me.
I do like the implication that he's always been a great fighter, but he's more focussed on penance through self-mutilation than actually embracing his full strength. I feel like they could have hinted at that more and left the magic stuff out.
i dont think that was any kind of magical,just herbel psycedellic drug that made him halluicante face his past truama,and gaining the confident he was needed to unleash his full streangth and not pull his punches...he found rythm that he needed...
I just watched this movie last night. I thought he would fight harder earlier in the movie but he didn't really go for it until what I call the 2nd half. You can really tell the separate acts in the film as you go so don't expect it all to unfold in the 1st act like me lol
I going bananas 🍌 not being able to watch your vid cuz I haven’t seen the movie yet. Damnit Paul. 😅Glad to hear your voice excited for something. ✌🏽
@In_box_On_TheHeavyspoilers "Go, I say go away boy, you bother me." - Foghorn Leghorn.🐓 who in the Paul impasta are you son? Paul is a madly devoted husband to his wife & kiddos. I ain’t even with you.
But have a nice day. Thanks for the ego boost.
God bless you brother. This is high quality sharing. ❤
I loved this film just seen it today I loved the themes the story telling the character development over the course of the film and when the action happens it’s so intense and the theme of emotional pain and childhood which I felt every emotion this character went through the film is relentless so people say it’s slow beginning but I loved the the backstory slowly revealing the high elites and the mythology I loved this film for me is a 10/10 it’s a masterpiece deeply emotional revenge story and I loved the INDAN CULTURE ❤a MASTERPIECE
Do you think Baba was Bobby’s father? Was his mother one of the women that works in the club at one point? When he called
Bobby his son and Bobby said don’t call me this. Baba smirked…..maybe in a way he’s his actual son
Perhaps an interesting plot for the sequel. I'm joking 😂
No, he just said that to try and manipulate him through religion. Like how you call a priest father
I think the police officer was his father. I believe that he had raped his mother, then later wanted to get custody of the kid / "Bobby", but his mother would never give him up and wanted to protect her son from him.
@@MegInWhispers This theory is such a stretch because it's nowhere implied that officer Singh knew any of the people in the main character's village before he was sent to get them out forcefully. He's just a goon of the Baba Shakti, and only went to the village in the first place because of him. First he visited along with the other officers to ask the people to get off the land, showing the papers, and then when the people refused they returned with weapons and burned the village down, and that's when he assaulted her because he's just a despicable human being. There really is nothing more to it than that and it's never implied otherwise so I don't know why you created this theory lol especially when the main character says Singh didn't even know his mother's name. I don't think he targeted her specifically when he first attempted to a$$ault her and then killed her, he just is a power-hungry horrible human who likes seeing defenseless women in pain.
Excellent review.
Just watched it today in the UK. Loved it. Quality!
casting is great, music is not ignored. symbolism in color tones, architecture and camera angles. If you live/lived in India you will relate and understand the protagonist 'e emotions clearly.
So this guy has now played a (slum)dog, lion, and now a monkey man. I think he's training for a one man stage show of Wizard of Oz.
ha..
Nice one
I can't wait to watch this over the weekend.
well done!
this film touched on a lot of things going on in India: political struggles, using religion as a tool of manipulation, gender inequality and the mistreatment, police corruption etc. Such a heavy movie. The way the movie was shot, camera work really brings out the chaos and unpredictability of the situation there :") Kudos to Jordan for being daring enough to produce this masterpiece (on a topic which he probably knew little to nothing about but able to see the importance and symbolism), for allowing its theatrical release to share this with the world.
Thank you Paul.
I gave this a 10 Monkeys/ Man
But in all seriousness I LOVED this. And I usually really hate action movies. It was the perfect combination of action with appropriate humour and story. I’d definitely see it again with my friends. The experience was great too
Thanks as always for breaking this action movie down
Sounds great, can't wait to go see it.
I think I saw an Easter egg for Slumdog Millionaire with the kids asleep on the street
Best movie I’ve ever seen! I’ve never experienced that many emotional swings, in a 2 hour span. So much symbolism. Rings heavy with today’s landscape. IMO, better than John Wick. Which one? All of them!
Reminded me of Oldboy
Will see movie this weekend, so I will watch then
Love Dev and this movie looks insane. Especially once you learn about how damned hard it was to get made.
Just saw it 😮 Amazing
Watched it today
Very good
However that damn shaky cam makes the action scenes hard to follow
Sometimes we also follow the main characters POV… which is really blurry
Just watched it. Fun stuff. Great first film.
Pacing is a lil off. It’s not perfect but a solid watch imo.
Saw the movie last night hats off to dev patel 🔥🔥❤❤
It was a great action/revenge movie. Kudos to Dev on his directorial debut.
This movie was soooooo good on so many levels 👌
This wasn't action pack it drags
LOVED IT!!! ❤
@In_box_On_TheHeavyspoilers I thoroughly enjoyed this film! I did walk out thinking others may not appreciate this movie the way it was put together...sadly. I loved the emotionally driven fighter. The scene when he was triggered and had a panic attack and had to leave for the alley where he met the dog, and the dog made him feel better? I LOVED THAT!! This movie was so well done, ESPECIALLY for a directorial debut AND he starred in it?! With EVERYTHING they were up against outside the movie as well??!! C'mon!! I hope he gets More Work!!!
Does anyone know the end credits song?. I loved the soundtrack but can't find that last song anywhere
The wallet song I believe
@@sirdrudles7318 na its not that. The song was slow
Yeah that song was wicked
@@barryallen6262 I found it someone on IG told Me!
@@barryallen6262 thankfully someone told me what it was
Ending is like Silent Night released last year
What was the quote written on Baba Shakti’s shoes?
Didn’t even know about the movie but I might give it a gander
Just watched it and originally I thought it was just a Indian John wick now I see it differently
Didn’t even know this was out… gahh I’m disconnected 😂
My second favorite monkey man first is monkey man from hey Arnold
When it is finally released on Netflix I think this movie could end up being bigger than it is now.
I think it will be released only on Disney + since Universal bought all the rights from Netflix
@@vecust Oh Ok, I thought it would release on Netflix because of John Campeas comment on it being originally a straight to Netflix movie but then someone said that it should be seen in theatres.
Recently watched 👀 it.
Freaking awesome and intense. I 😍 😮😊 it.
The story is simple (which I like), and the acting and presentation are well-done (which I also like). This movie as a whole is a vibe, man. Glad it's out there.
But there are, in my opinion, a couple of tiny loose ends to the story.First, in act 1 Bobby peeked at Queenie opening her safe; I honestly thought he was going to do something about that later.
Also, I'm a bit confused about Alphonso. Bobby did him dirty, three times. (first Bobby manipulated Alphonso to get close to Rana. Then Bobby stole and wrecked Alphonso's bajaj, and third he accidentally made Alphonso his accomplice and then abandons him for the rest of the film, causing Alphonso to live like a rat). Relatively-speaking, Alphonso is innocent and Bobby ruined his life. He should be furious.
Finally got to see this flick and WOW! I really really liked this movie!
I'm so glad this movie was saved
Hanuman was never punsihed by gods. When hanuman was little he wanted to reach sun but was interupted by Lord Indra who hit him with his hammer. Hanuman fell down on earth where Lord Pawan(Wind god and lord hanuman was born because of his blessing) was angry with indra. so Lord Brahma revived Hanuman and gave him Powers.
(Additional Info: Indra and Pawan are not gods as in what the term applies , they are devtas the one who gives without asking for anything in return . The True God is Formless Brahman and his 3 forms Brahma(Creator) , Vishnu (Protector) and Shiva(Destroyer) )
Not to sound rude or anything but WTH do you mean by hammer??? Lord Indra's Weapon is called Vajra and resembles nowhere close to a hammer!
indra has both vajra and hammer - he had hammer before vajra@@hrithikg3012
Sharlto was amazing in this, so good. I enjoyed it but the shakey cam made me feel a little queasy. Not as slick as John Wick in my opinion though. I do feel its been a little overhyped.
It’s good but hard to follow sometimes with all the super close shaky cam!
I'm going tomorrow 🏵
Can you check out Brahmayugam? It's from the same film Industry that released Minnal Murali which you Did a video on ( Bear in mind Brahmayugam is slow burn and Folk Horror)
It was bloody 😊and Gooseberry movie 😊😊😊😊
I enjoyed the movie. Good story, acting and great fight scenes. I'm hoping Bobby made it though.
Amazing movie! I just saw it!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
baba yaga vs baba shakti 😁
Just watched it this is the Indian John Wick😂
It's a huge reference to Ramayana.
Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Dev Patel is BRILLIANT…the movie is Beautifully directed, the scenes of all the fighting are EXHILARATING and wanting more to achieve Bobby’s revenge! I was wanting more of an overkill on Queenie because she DESERVED it, she was WAY out of pocket! GO SEE THIS MOVIE PEOPLE ITS BRILLIANTLY AWESOME! 🤩
i love this movie man
What’s crazy is I made that comment that this looks like an Indian John Wick on Facebook today. It blows my mind to hear you say that.
real India is not what it's show in this movie 😅
You mean movies exaggerate things? NEVER!
It is real if you step out of your priviliged life
@@user-jz8ow3xv8t oh really 😂mf
@@user-jz8ow3xv8tI think he means the on set location, it was filmed in Indonesia.
Movie is 5/5. I'm thinking they should do a african american version of it someday.
Here's my cross over wish list- If you know the Mahabharat:
Monkey Man: Hanuman
John Wick: Ram
FYI: The tabla maestro: Ustad Zakir Hussain;
This is feeling like a paid promotion to me for some reason… Paul seems a little by the book on this review
in my opinion this account is basically a watchmojo style analysis
Is every comment you leave on this channel negative in some way?
@leeswift7883 you've been stalking their account?
@@snakethegemini yep, so what?
@@leeswift7883 you have some bigger issues going on 😭😭🤣
John wick india continental
Shoulda got with that girl that was looking at him would’ve been good ending
The only reason i took interest in the movie is cus i saw a meme saying that transgenders give you super powers
I was dissapointed by the movie. Yes the action is well done but the story is incoherent and feels too random in some places. The revenge plot is OK but when it gets to the fight with Rana he hesitates and loses the fight while he is a free fighter.. after that he just shoots 3 polices officers. After that he magically survives being shot and falling in an Indian urban river aka sewer. And in the end its al connected to this guy we only knew from TV.
I missed build up of the characters and the characters that were well developt just dissapeared, like Alphonso and Sita.
Zaddy
Monke
The main villain Baba Shakti this is saying in India we call it to the terrorists that maksad Nahin bhulne ka the Muslims good knowledge
Patel is the bomba
Trailers made it seem like it was gonna be a action packed movie. Idk i was expecting hohn wick style fights and by that i mean a lot. They could've easily done him failing the kill the general at the beginning then having the city try to kill him having those fights and then him going to the end and fighting. Idk it was way more "filler" then i expected
So your advice is basically to copy JW 4? Really? No wonder we end up with so many generic, terrible films. Monkey Man is great just as it is.
That does happen tho, he's running from the cops and gets in a bunch of fights as he does
So that's why it was not released in india, the villian is just BJP
I don’t even watch the movies, just watch this guy and a few others lol.
Algorithm 👍🏾
Imagine doing a review or ending explain on a great movie like this, and being so scared to say the words, transgender or give any light to the transgender Warriors that were represented in the movie. It’s so pathetic that heavy spoilers has gotten so big that your isolating specific group of your audience to not piss off your other transphobic audience😂😂 I mean it’s really interesting how creators like this will go into deep detail on every comic book and white hero that they can find but when it comes to stories like this featuring people of color, we get a nine minute review and no touching on any of the social commentary like you didn’t even go and look up any of the commentary you just said I don’t know anything about that so.. and yet we can get every broke down meaning of any White Boy comic book show
