#Old - Krátké a kreslené filmy
Thanks for understanding the lack of footage and some of the distortion (my fault). Because the movie isn't out on Blu-Ray yet I have to use trailers, behind the scenes, and clips to weave together this video.
What did you think of OLD?
hi
How do you have sex without knowing? It's very painful for the first time and there are a lot of things that happens... Didn't believe that part... This is actually a worst fear kind of situation. Just losing time.
Thanks for this breakdown, it was tight, concise and without judgement. The one I watched before this was kind of annoying in that it was constantly calling back to prior works of Shyamalan, comparing and slating them all. It was distracting. I enjoy your breakdowns generally but this was quite a stark and very pleasant contrast. I'm definitely going to watch the film; I'm not sure why people watch a breakdown channel and DON'T expect spoilers, but ok. Thanks for the video and putting in the work to provide us with content to watch.
Dude Hindu is a religion. Hindi is the language jeez
Can you review Doctor sleep
If trials could be tested in a day to save hundreds of thousands, you would probably find volunteers already diagnosed willing to sacrifice, why do it in secret? I like the stay in the present theme
They did the test without their knowledge and hence removing the placebo effect that most drugs fail.
Exaxtly...there is never a justification to force people like that...saying so is aproving of the clinical trials done in Africa
Yeah this company threw ethics out the window when they started "sacrificing" unwilling participants.
@@IR240474 I doubt the placebo effect would work on a magic time beach lol.
@@alexandergriffith1825 The placebo as in real life helped heal the people in the first place. This is why drugs fail, against a sugar tablet, the healing system is very powerful, medicine helps it along.
I swear M. Knight is an alien IRL trying to communicate his cultural identity.
@Jin Lee hmm. Maybe he is covering his real name, mystic night shaman.
@Jin Lee Agree! All his movies after have been terrible. He has put out good shows though. Not sure what's up with that.
I love these comments 🤣❤️
I love his movies
Uhhh you’re acting like he came up with this plot.... it was already a novel. Never seen someone give someone so much credit for so little
the calcium deficient woman looked so scary at the end…
Yeah just twisted up like a pretzel 🥴
I laughed so hard at that scene
@@noxuinddau8719 I laughed too. It was too stupid funny
@@k10cheetah I busted out laughing when she picked up that rock and her arm just snaps 😆
Yeah. Why would she end up like that, just because time sped up???
Trent really went through it, the whole film. Finding a dead body, losing his baby, girl and parents also basically losing a childhood friend.
And a childhood ig
I don't feel sad for Kara
@@ninjaxpop why not? Just curious lol
And Trent that he was soooooo smart I agree Trent now he finally admits that he knows nothing
Let's not forget he also lost Kara
Do no friends/relatives of the people from the 73 previous "trials" report that hundreds of loved-ones have disappeared and not returned from vacation? That resort should be in the headlines and swarming with police by now.
They explain that in the film as well. How they keep it all clean.
@@freshboyfab Thanks!
@@freshboyfab how they do it?
@@1996koke they had access to phones and passports of the people on the beach so they can erase or make it seem like things were okay
@@karalynspeaks4267 still, OP has a point about relatives all going to that embassy and saying their loved ones disappeared after visiting a resort. Whole families disappearing would raise flags in the real world but still a fun film
This beach was literally a SCP
Classification?
Euclid class
Wtf is an scp
Duflacko basically an anomaly that can take the form of anything even a beach
@@scottwhite4048 It should be easy enough to contain or destroy it. Send 682 in and make it his new containment area or something so they can study how time effects him.
This movie has a kid that becomes a pregnant teenager who holds her dead baby's dissolving body after its birth.
Can you take someone's paycheck away and give them a raise at the same time?
BRUH WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK
Exactly why nothing is ever given
I mean who has the guts to do that? I respec thim for doing something that people say is " taboo" in media and film.

@@JB-nj7nq edgy
this movie is honestly a rollercoaster ride
And it goes straight down
@@JukeboxWithJay in the best way possible, it didn’t have any loop de loops but it went fast and was entertaining
@@frutiitutiistudios7241 horrible writing tho

I watched the movie yesterday day and that last image of the women with the calcium deficiency before she died was very disturbing

Where can I find a Pic/vid of that

When teenage Cara and teenage Trent eat some pasta, the food is not spoiled the argument could be the pasta is not alive but the food is also organic material
I think this is because the food were cover with the aluminum bags, from my science classes I remember the aluminum helps to isolate magnetic fields so maybe if the aluminum helps to protect the food from the beach magnetism they could create some hats with the bags to scape through the canyon
So if they wrapped their heads in the bags they could've potentially just walked out.
best comment I've read all day
So you are saying, the solution is... dare I say it... Tinfoil hats?
Great solution
Good point
If I was stuck on this beach, I'd probably write a few sentences in the sand and say, "This short story took me years to write."
Turn it into a prison for the most violent prisoners. A life sentence doesn't cost taxpayers more than the cost of a plane ticket.
😂
Sigma rule #6756: jail = free housing
@@TaxFraudTutorials so true. And Americans will often chose the more expensive option out of ignorance and spite. Just like how they’re rather let homeless people die on the street than house them, even if housing them is less expensive then anti-homeless methods. A lot of American politics and resistance to progress seems wrapped around the fear that progress might, god forbid, help somebody that you hate.
I was thinking the same thing after seeing this movie
We'll there's yer sequel right there. Heck, it may be better than Kings; the Green Mile.
Your spoiler review was definitely the BEST.
Totally agree.
Definitely
Hands up !
i think that the bad guys could have just told people with terminal illnesses what was happening and they would have had hundreds of people who would have done this willingly for the chance to find cures for themselves or others
I don’t think to many people would sign up to age 50 years in a day terminal illness or not most of those people want to beat it but maybe they could use inmates serving life sentences
@@rainfalldoll9409 I mean really, if you’re going to die in a few years anyway, why not donate what time you have left to science? It’d cut down on the suffering you’d feel and on top of that, you would be contributing to the development of a treatment capable of preventing whats killing from taking anymore lives in the future. Sure you’d still die, but why not go out with a bang and leave one hell of a mark on the world? I would. Carve me own headstone and just bury myself at nightfall so crabs won’t get me.
The number of people with terminal illnesses that sign up for experimental treatments despite the possibility of the treatment significantly shortening their lives is staggeringly high. When you're desperate, you'll try anything. The US FDA has only recently, and on a case basis, allowed "accelerated human testing" programs for terminally ill patients. Remember that absolute stink that the major news outlets made when the FDA allowed doctors to prescribe Hydroxycloaquin for their covid patients even though the drugs risks had been approved for decades treating malaria and the dosage risks were well known? And THAT was only a year ago!
@@TheCorrodedMan nah I'd spend that time with my family
Besides, not everything they were trying to find cures for are lethal. You could live a long time with epilepsy, schizophrenia isn't lethal, etc. And most people want to use whatever time they have left. There is no way though that any of this would wind up with FDA approved meds. They wouldn't be able to show their work and you can't just market a medication without somebody reviewing your studies.
Crazy movie! The baby actually died from being set down for a minute. When a infant is neglected of human contact for prolonged periods it can suffer death. In this case 1 minute would have been several weeks without contact resulting in its death.
yeah for the infants death - i doubt it could have died from neglect because time itself is NOT speeding up in this movie. it's just the cells developing and their bodies aging. setting the infant down for some time isn't equal to weeks of neglect, so it cannot have died that way i think LOL
But the baby survives in the comic
@@thedude8457 really? Tell me what happened next
@@hassanalkhalaf1115 the comic ends with the now-adult baby siting on the beach making a sandcastle
@@thedude8457 that's why the name is sandcastle?
Wow,love that the kids didn't go back into being kids again is crazy.
Yea I was kinda hoping they would
I thought they would too but eh
When you hear the bones rattle against each other of the decaying newborn in towel. My entire spine felt like it was just dipped in cold water.
That broken bones scene was the most horrific thing I’ve seen in my life up til now.
I was upset by that. I lowkey didn’t even want her to die. A brutal death for sure.
So basically the beach has its random tick speed set really high
@vlad bower1 Thunderson here is referring to the random tick speed in Minecraft. It’s a setting In the game that changes how fast crops grow, the speed of tree decay, fire spread etc in the game. Even though the setting has random in the name it is set to default to three. When the setting is set to 18 for example, a day will pass 6 times as fast, and wheat will grow at the same rate. Random tick speed is not random.
@@quelidle3772 that is a remarkably accurate and concise definition, I would’ve just said, bigger Minecraft number, faster tre grow 😂
Again, it wasn’t the beach, it was the rocks.
@@torielizabethcg I thought for SURE they would nuke the rocks at the end when the passed by in the helicopter
@@homelesshannah50 they might have gotten stuck if they got too close
Ok, but as a mom of a 10 months old, that scene with pregnancy was scary AF for me
I have a toddler, very scary....
@@robertsaladino, what, having a toddler or the scene?😅
I don't understand why the baby didn't live.
@@CasiodorusRex because aliens
@@CasiodorusRex because the baby wasn’t meant to live so quickly, babies grow very fast in the real world and too much would be happening for the baby to grow and naturally live, and if the baby lived even an hour it literally wouldve died from starvation as the baby would need so much food to even survive
This movie was like a modern day Tuskegee Experiment
What’s Tuskegee experiment
@@kaidenpankey7540 it’s a very unethical experiment that occurred in Tuskegee Alabama by the government and doctors. They gave syphilis to a lot of black people and or tested on those who had it. All while withholding treatment and not telling patients if they had the disease.
But unlike this movie it was very racist and racially motivated and didn’t even give conclusive results.
@@Beeontree dang what year was this
@Sparkling Cyanide wow
I have to disagree. The Tuskegee experiment ultimately ended in failure and produced no viable results.
This company managed to successfully run a trial for seizures.
I'm okay with it. The movie gave an actual explanation and brang some type of closure unlike the source it's based off of. In the orginal the characters don't figure out why the island works the way it does or why they are trapped there. No one escapes either. In the end they all just accept their fate and rapidly age till they all die.
*brought
Agree with your comment though!
But finding an explanation is not what the original story is about. The fact that Shyamalan found it necessary to add that twist/explanation shows that he didn't dive into the real questions deep enough. He essencially thinks his viewers are too stupid to appreciate philosophical/social questions
@@LadyArsenica1 I actually thought Shyamalan gave an explanation because he didn’t want to propagate a nihilistic perspective. To be fair I didn’t get a chance to read the whole comic, but what I did read and how it ended very much felt less like a philosophical argument and more like one long allegory of life on earth from a Sisyphussian point of view. Shyamalan’s Split and Signs are good examples of his dabbling in philosophy so I’d like to believe he doesn’t think his audience is stupid. 🤷♀️
Whats the name of the of the original movie?
@@jmninternational1116 not movie, a visual novel. It's Sandcastle
M.Night Shyamalan is the only director out there who shows me things I've never really seen or thought about before.
And his movies still suck
It's based on a graphic novel thr fuck do you mean
@@csyd22 i wish he'd get someone else to approve or rewrite his scripts. this was an interesting story, and could have been handled better.
the casting in this movie was incredible.
Especially the kids
IKR LIKE THESE AACTORS ARE GOOD BUT THE SCRIPT IS KINDA CRINGEY it’s like watching prequels actors they’re good actors wirh bad scripts.
So the message of this movie is basically remember that you're mortal (Like the word Memento Mori) and that you should embrace life as it's fullest despite knowing that you'll die sooner or later.
And save the corals they’re essential for life
Memento Mori. Remember, you will die.
Unus annus
The plot twist of the pharmacy exploiting the beach is amazing. Very clever. It is a shame the film wasn't well executed.
Honestly your breakdown was all I needed. Thaaaank you.
It’s funny how Death Stranding can perfectly explain time fall, but the comic and M Knight go
“YA SEE THESE KEYS?”
“WATCH ME JINGLE THEM”
BRUH ☠️☠️☠️
This movie is insane.
I was loving this as it kept going, it might be batshit but I love how committed he is too these concepts
@@Joecbg100 you said it here bro.
6/10

THIS MOVIE WAS TERRIBLE ‼️
@@TheyCallMe_TC ok thanks
Love Rufus Sewell (Charles) he’s aging like a fine wine ❤️
Well I don’t because he’s a racist character in this movie
I was once a Production Assistant on a movie he was on and walked him to his trailer, lol.
@@chasejones3101 well she is talking about the actor not the character so... and yes, Rufus is silver fox material.
@@chasejones3101 tf does that have to do with the actor?
@@ThinkStory good for you
When Trent gives the book with names to the police, the writing looks fine. How did the writing not get erased or damaged during his underwater beach escape?
It was in a plastic bag that's sealed
I thought it was the bad guy who gave the cop the book?
@@chrispizzo94 Me too lol but he was well paid and wouldn't turn them in
Depended on if the book was written in pen or pencil, if not Disturbed for a long period of time then nothing would happen to the book. Kind of like visiting the library in seeing a lot of books that have been there over centuries ago period if left untouched the book remains in Fairly good condition despite the smell of the old books
@@R3putaytion13 Aah that explains it.
This sounds like something straightout of the SCP universe. Coincidentally, it sounds like something a lot of the Groups of Interest would do, even the Foundation themselves.
On a separate note, the way the company does things here is just stupid. For one, they could have simply found people with the illnesses and told them "Hey, we have this new trial medicine we'd like for you to try, and you get to stay at a resort while you test it for us!". Not only would that have given them a better way to find test subjects, it also would have kept them from using children as test subjects as well. I like this movie in concept, but I feel like the execution needs work.
If they would do that then there would be no point in this movie 😂
For me the movie's twist kinda reminds me of the video game Judgement where the important plot point is a medicine (AD-9) meant for a cure to a major disease, and it took many - many lives in order to perfected it. The pharmaceutical who involved on that medicine are exposed in the end.
Edit: Sorry if my sentence are bad.
@@angelbaby8794 You could still have conflict while having the people running the show be smarter about their plan. For example, maybe the company doesn't give all the details about the treatment, and once the test subjects are there and are testing the drug, some maybe start to get second thoughts when they realize "Oh shit, I'm gonna die in a matter of hours unless I figure out some way to get out of here!"
You could argue that this beach served as a blind study. The researchers probably figure that the less they know the better so not to tamper with the results in some unforeseen way.
The pharma research is totally something I can see either the Factor or MC&D pulling off.
Towards the ending, the scientist mentions that Patricia’s epilepsy was “cured”, but she’s literally introduced to the audience when she’s having a seizure during dinner at the hotel, and that’s after having already been given her trial medication which was in the welcome drinks given to the participants as soon as they arrive to the hotel.
Maybe she got a top up after that happened since the hotel lady got her another drink after breakfast but before she and her husband got to the beach
We did not see her getting a drink upon arrival, but we did hear a woman offer her a "drink" after the seizure before the beach.
Lack of context.
I think her epilepsy just stopped for about 17 years or something
It could have nit kicked in yet?
Saw it today and wow, it’s a slow start but the pace was perfect
Can anyone explain the scene near the end where the 'kids' are escaping. The girl gets stuck and suddenly the earth, coral seabed cracks?? It was so random
Trent was using his mind powers that I had no idea he had, maybe his uncles Bruce Willis from Unbreakable, I know some can call that twist stupid, but I call it awesome, that guy was my favorite character, had a kind heart, and he gets to have superpowers.
You can tell he’s using some sort of mind power because he closes his eyes and you can see his face focusing, then the rock cracks.
Yeah it looked like it cracked for a second and started bleeding, that was never addressed or explained.
So many flaws
@@nicholaswoods4055 Wrong
The doctor was paranoid schizophrenic, they confirm this in the film.
I'm disappointed the Beach's Time Accelerating phenomenon isn't fully explored.
They could of the very least tried connecting it to the Bermuda Triangle's affects of Time Alteration.
Thats a great idea. Id love to see a version of this film explored in a manner similar to this.
This and other hacks never fully explored the movies they make, that would actualy take some kind of tallent.
In a way they did explain it, just not in depth. They mentioned magnetism. But thats it. Magnetism has to do with frequency, and frequency passes through everything biological and non-biological.
I watched the movie yesterday and I would give it a 8/10 for being able to stress me out in a fun way, if you like movies where the concept of it makes you sit and think about it then it’s a good movie for you
Anyone else get this mixed up with Heavy Spoilers due to them having the same thumbnail? Lol
nah. heavy spoilers sucks now.
@@MarsIncorporated_ How so?
I admit this did a better job of explaining out other details Heavy Spoilers failed to mention.
I would have liked to more about the island. Another 'lost' type movie
Which one?
film: they get arrested
irl: everybody gets paid to keep mouth shut
My thoughts exactly!
Chicken wings to chicken thighs… WallE is coming true.
what?
Norm!!
So is the beach just magic then? And I guess this pharm comp said "Fuck ethics"
Yeah basically, that’s what I ultimately gathered from it. The pharmaceutical company is simply using its unusual “power” so to speak, to test it on humans with medical conditions by giving them the designated treatment.
The rocks like have a magnetic sorta thing that makes their cells age quicker
Is magnetism, magic?
@@a3toenail313 That's not how magnets work though lol
I mean is it ethical to not save millions of people if you have the power to do so? Is it ethical to not kill one person to save 10? Are you responsible for the 10 people who died? This is a question that has been asked for a long time lol.
That was such a unique and interesting plot. Very inventive.
....so.... i think the reason they didnt want kids on the beach was so the adults wouldnt notice the passing of time as quickly... like he said "childrens bodies changed rapidly when their young but adults dont"...
also... i would hope that these companies wouldnt test on children... not like they could get them out even if they did slip in there
Where did they say they didn't want kids on the beach? That was the father messing with the kids. Misdirection. If they didn't want the kids on the beach, they wouldn't have brought them too. They already test on medically ill people with the intent of them dying horribly, they've given up ethics a long time ago.
@@jase276 oh! my apologizes!! i never saw the full movie and just went with what they said in the trailers... and in one of the trailers they said "no kids on the beach" so i had gone off that czcams.com/video/A4U2pMRV9_k/video.html
i thought because the events of the movie that kids would live longer and have more of a chance to escape.
@@theimortal1974 they would have if they hadn't been stupid and tried to climb the cliff and stuff... but I agree... wish more of the kids had survived
I mean .. the director of the lab himself invited the whole family with the kids to come. He didn't say to leave the kids home. The lab wanted the kids there.
Wasn’t as into the movie as I thought I’d be, the ending was a slight twist but I kept waiting for something more, it just didn’t completely satisfy me.
Agreed. It would be great if, the customer were in a coma
My girl said the same thing , I think it could’ve been so much more added to this , like if this was made into a show like on some Westworld type shìt this would be great as a show , but it did feel a bit rushed even for 2hrs nearly I just think this would had been better as a TV show but it was still a great movie for me .
I agree. I thought there would be a more in depth storyline and action.
I'm okay with it. The movie gave an actual explanation and brang some type of closure unlike the source it's based off of. In the orginal the characters don't figure out why the island works the way it does or why they are trapped there. No one escapes either. In the end they all just accept their fate and rapidly age till they all die.
Thats what I thought. I was waiting for a double twist at the end.
Like the kid from the hotel was an old man in a coma and everything is in his head, were he is a kid forever.
And all the people on the beach were people he knew.
The last two are kinda him and his sister trying to escape and make him realise that he is an old man and can finally rest.
I hadn't figured it out completely but my brain was working hard :D
Still a good movie. It made me think about ageing and family. Very atmospheric.
And now a mathematics explanation of how the beach works.
It wasn’t the beach - the rocks developed a magnet energy from being submerged deep underwater in the past causing human cells to age faster
Science student here.
It does not work
@@TheMonsterHunterTV Film student here.
It's not a true story, just a movie.
So this is how they tested the Covid-19 vaccines so fast..
I saw the movie without knowing anything about it and I had this feeling about it once I saw M.Night Shyamalan's name in the credits it just clicked!! I LOVE his movies and that eerie feeling you get after watching certain scenes from his movies/shows. I am planning to read the graphic novel too.
Whose idea was it that a good fake rapper name was "mid sized sedan" lmao
Not lil' or big but mid sized 🤣🤣
Man, I loved this movie. It's not only my favorite M. Night movie now, but I'd say my favorite sci-fi horror movie over all
Why didn't anyone try the nurse's idea of walking slowly through the rocks allowing yourself to acclimate? Yes, the idea of using some kind of tube for protection is nice, but I don't think anyone ever dismissed that walking slowly *without* said tube wouldn't work... or am I missing something?
wouldn't an abnormal occurence would happen since you're only head is the only one covered and not your body, i'm not into medicine but what would happen if your body cells grows and your head doesn't because this is only possible when your body won't stop from aging if you put a metal plastic on your head.
Why didn't they get the blackouts when they walked onto the beach
@@_Super_Hans_ Yes, that too!
@@missusmj2678 it would have been dope to see that.
U love your videos and this one was much needed!!
Thanks for the breakdown!
Thanks for posting!
there’s one thing i still don’t understand someone please answer if you know- what set the boundaries of the beach? how did it apply to set parts for the black outs? also, how did they get in and not black out on the way in but blacked out going the same way out??
I think it's because they were already inside so they couldn't get out, like they reacted when they were already in
I'd suppose it'll be like a 1 way portal
Maybe they were in there too long, if the water pressure analogy is to be believed. They got too acclimated to the accelerated time and can't go back the way they came, due to the sudden change in the rate of time, without blacking out.
@@XxXShadowchanXxX So how did M. Night's character get out then? He doesn't stay for more than 5 minutes at a time or he'd get stuck in as well?
@@lanoche He never walked in. They asked for him to carry the bags but he said he didn't have the time to talk them to the beach
This seems really crazy. Definitely want to give it a watch.
I think this Director is doing a phenomenal job by bringing us new story’s i love his work.
thank you for the complete explanation!! youre the only video iv found so far that explains what happened to kara
The rapper n girls character was completely pointless. They both are literally just used as body bags because both die before anything significant happens
Mid sized sudan helped progress the story, he helped viewers see the first glimpse of Charle's downfall. He was also cut by Charles helping them realize that they can heal instantly.
@@chaddompierre5779 exactly my point. He was only in the story to show the craziness of the doctor. His entire purpose was to be killed by another character, making his character pretty much pointless cause that could had been anyone. Plus they set him up like he knew some secret but really knew nothing
@@Crest28 im so glad you said this i totally agree. plus the way they filmed him made him seem suspicious and like he knew more than he let on, especially because he was there before them. and boom he just gets killed with hardly any character development
@@yanna.on_p1ut0 Yes, they built his character up like he knew something about the beach then, dies just to say " hey this doctors going crazy. Literally named him sedan, the most generic car just like his characters death
Old was weird and awkward but I kinda liked it, so a typical M Night S movie experience for me.
At the end when m night shamalons character talked about the 'one who got through the coral but drowned' I thought they were going to reveal that he was the one who got through and is now a double agent. Seems like a loose thread or sequel plot 🤷
@@alainchristian Except... they didn't die. Watch the damn video.
@@alainchristian Maybe in the sequel, if it ever gets made.
@@alainchristian just like the comic.
Bruh tell me how they swam for like 10 min in coral without dying. That annoyed the shit out of me 😆
That's actually not a bad plot idea
Excellent break down! The story line is so messed up and full of twist, I can't wait to see it!!
Lmfaooo I'm so happy to see Shyamalan making his comedic messterpieces once again
Messterpiece. Love that.
I don’t tend to see these kinds of movies so I would not have gone to see it or looked at it. Thank you for letting me get the points. This was a great breakdown of the movie 🎥
Glad I just watched the breakdown
Great video!
“I have a letter for... Amanika Prisca?”
I am her grandmother... do I have to sign?
“Thanks, ma’am. Have a good day!”
A good millennium, so far...
“?”
How’s it a twist…? We literally see M. Night watching them the whole time…. Making it not a twist because it’s clear they’re being observed…
The twist is why they are being observed. If you watched this movie, and knew from the first time they showed the reflection on the hill that they were a pharmaceutical company testing treatments to certain illnesses within a day, rather than years, you’re just a genius. But I highly doubt that.
@Kyuku that could be true. But you could even argue that split wasn’t a “twist” either.
I think the main issue is we knew there was a question and we're waiting on the answer. The best twist come about because you don't even know there's a question. You get the answer and it just re contextualizes everything before
They missed the opportunity to create a re occuring loop with Trent and Maddox re playing the role as Midsize Sundan and the blonde woman he was with at the start when she jumped into the ocean. Then the last scene would be a close up shot of Maddox or Trent with a nosebleed because of the other new group that has just arrived. Creating an endless loop of families.
I like the ending. We find out that this group was #73. Meaning 72 other *groups* not *people* already died. So stopping the cycle was the happiest ending you can have when you remember that Trent and Maddox are now children who are now orphans and most of their lives gone.
Thanks for the precise sumup
Was genuinely really impressed by this movie, it had a great premise and an execution that lived up to it. Loved the blended tone that M. Night went for with horror, comedy and sadness.
Recycling centers: I'd like to know that beach's location
I swear, that magnetic beach technology might solve a lot of slow decomposing garbage problems.
love that idea😄
The theatrical poster design is a direct reference to the graphic novel, Sandcastle, which inspired this film. It's from a moment in which a character tells a tale about "a strange old man who had half of everything: half a head, half a body, and half of his arms and legs."
Old (2021) marks the first time M. Night Shyamalan has filmed entirely outside Greater Philadelphia since his first film Praying with Anger (1992). However, Guy and Prisca mention that Philadelphia is where they live.
The film is an adaptation of a 2010 graphic novel by writer Pierre Oscar Lévy and artist Frederik Peeters called Sandcastle. When asked what inspired him to adapt the book to film, director M. Night Shyamalan explained: "The book gave me the opportunity to work through a lot of anxieties I had around death and aging, and things like my parents getting older."
Near the end, the notebook they find that contains a written possible theory and other victims' names is said to have belonged to a science fiction writer. This is a direct reference to the graphic novel wherein the main character that comes up with theories for their unusual situation is a science fiction writer.
It was less good than The Visit, but it was true to Shyamalan form, & a good cast.
My theory: the movie “Old” exists in the same universe as the events of the movie, and it was written by Maddox and Trent. It explains the stupid dialogue, the rudimentary understanding of science, the paper-thin understanding of adult emotional dynamics, etc.
Maaan oooooooh maaan this one was a rollercoaster. The concept of time ⏲️was perfect
Thank you, loved it.
The film is an adaptation of a 2010 graphic novel by writer Pierre Oscar Lévy and artist Frederik Peeters called Sandcastle. When asked what inspired him to adapt the book to film, director M. Night Shyamalan explained: "The book gave me the opportunity to work through a lot of anxieties I had around death and aging, and things like my parents getting older."
I just saw it and I was impressed because the ending was classic Shyamalan because I thought it was gone end with the Trent and Maddox dying and the company getting away with it so to see Trent knock the cup out of the ladies hand really sealed it for me great film I recommend this to anybody who is M Night Shyamalan fan
AMAZING movie !!! Just watched it today
Horror and mystery about the beach where several years passes by every hour and you cant leave when you have found it. Liked it and also the surprise revenge ending.
This was good review, it makes me put this movie on good list of M. Night Shyamalan's films like Unbreakable.
The cocktail wasn't really for a evil purpose.....the way they studied diseases with no morals was evil.
Interesting montage, I kept thinking notebook was lagging.
Solid flick. Had a few issues but on the whole was really 👍 good
So this one time, I ate way too many shrooms for the first time, and I thought that I was getting younger as time went on, and that I would eventually cease to exist. Shit was wild and terrifying. Now I don't eat so many at once . 🤷♀️😆 this movie really reminded me of that experience.
Thank you
Definitely going to watch the movie now
The chick next to me laughed out loud at the cave scene, yet I found it to be one of the most horrific things I've ever witnessed. I can't get it out of my head 😩
I found that scene really silly. As well as many other scenes in the movie. Meh.
I'm wondering how they clean the beach before the next guests arrives. It is either the cleaners wear a magnetic foil outfit to ward off the effects of the rocks, etc or theyre just willing to give 30min (1yr) of their life to prep the beach and are really good at diving they way out the corals.
I was just thinking about this lol.
Maybe they wearing metal suit
So the Beach’s affect was an anomaly that the drug company used? They didn’t create it or explain in the movie how it did it?
They explained it, quickly. The rock being submerged in an extremely specific biodiverse environment for millions of years created it.
Makes sense seeing as how the best facial creams in the world have the best organic materials from the ocean that rejuvenate and slightly reverse the effects of aging on your skin. The beach in the movie is the antithesis of that.
@Sparkling Cyanide *You’re
@Sparkling Cyanide just get educated. Then you'll know words. Simple.
Yeah the phenomenon was natural, the company just discovered it. In the lab scene there's a memorial plaque for the original expedition who died while first discovering the beach.
@@plbenton ironic
I’m really looking forward to watch this movie
Really puts into perspective the whole dilemma where if you kill one person, more don't need to die, is prematurely ending a life worth it to save others who are already doomed?
Thanks for the summary. I don’t want to spend my money or time on that directors trash. I am curious about his dumb plot twists and this saves me time and money
Pretty darn good analysis.
Movie was good and freaked the heck out of me!
Thank you so much! I’m still gonna watch the movie when it comes out, I wanna see the scenes that were described, but now I know what I’m in for! Love spoilers
Im trying to wrap my head around this one!!!!
I would love to watch this movie thank you so much for this review. I searched a few different sites looking to watch Old I could not find anything. I think the movie is brilliantly written from your review. It scary to think that these types of experiments could possible take place. I suppose this is how we discover what works and what does not medical-wise..
