- The ear man from the movie Crimes of the Future, by David Cronenberg.
Saul looks for artistic inspiration from a rival performance artist. He is not impressed and desires a more unique and extreme modification for his next performance.
This dude take the phrase "I'm all ears" to a whole new level
HAHAHAHAHAHA
This scene was the exact moment when I realized Cronenberg was back ❤️
I had hoped that till I saw the film. I found his son's film Antiviral to be significantly better than this.
@@JohnFreedman0Good for you. No one was comparing dweeb.
“I don’t like the ears”
Well 90% of this scene isn’t for you 😆
I cracked up when she said that.
Tbh, the music here is really good
howard shore
If I ever go on Britain's Goy Talent, I say to Simon Whistler:
"It is time to stop seeing.
It is time to stop speaking.
It is time to listen. "
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen to
CRONENBERG'S DAMCE ACADEMY!
I'm getting cyberpunk vibes with this movie. David Cronenberg should direct a cyberpunk theme movie with horror elements in it.
He did. Videodrome and Existez
Technically it would be Biopunk.
fuck cyberpunk, right now its too oversaturated
he should make his own improved version of tarsem singh's movie the cell, no jumpscare but madness beyond empty into darkness and limitless human imagination
@@omarvidal3543 The Cell is such a great movie! I remember seeing it when I was only 7 😝
Gotta admit the dude dancing is pretty good, especially with the prosthetics etc
The prosthetics are tiny fake ears lol
this was my favorite scene of the movie
The wonderful dancer is Tassos Karahalios, from Greece.
Just wanted to ask . thanks:)
I like that there's a distinction between good and bad body performance in this movie
Even in the future, performance artists are considered lame :v
actually cronerberg hates may be
If you watched the film they clearly state “performance art is all the rage now”
Yep lol seems so :/
While weird as fuck and the plot being all over the place I’m just happy to know David Cronenberg is back and making even more weird body horror
Tough to imagine, that they made this movie 100% in Greece. After this movie, definitely David Cronenberg, is go to earn the Greek audience (even the hardest audience!). I will never imagine, the character of (Klinek - the ears guy), is actually Greek actor!!
I was thinking to myself, having all these extra ears would be impossible to work and smack bang that lady came in and confirmed it for me.
My thoughts on "Crimes" is more of a deep-dive into the metaphorical meanings within Cronenberg's on-the-nose, satirical (albeit horrific) and sometimes humorous view of modern-day technology (ex: eating chair, sleeping bed, autopsy bed), exhibitionism and voyeurism (ex: Saul, Caprice, Timlin, two women with drills), pop culture (ex: Klinik/Ear Man, others), celebrity status (Saul and Caprice), and ultimately the "plastic" society that we have become (ex: plastic eaters, non-plastic eaters, and those "evolving" into eating plastic). There are also the "policing agencies" (Cope, Wippet, Timlin) that try to regulate and/or terminate humanities permanent decline into a meaningless existence of seeking out ever-greater, "shocking" sensualities (ex: government's attempts to regulate social media and the moral decline of society).
The story clearly identifies "plastic" as the synthetic, cheap, easily consumed and digested content in social media (I think of "Barbie Girl" by Aqua, Madonna's "Material Girl"). Each of the main characters is participating in the so-called "art" in some way with a brief glimpse of a "normal person" who dies from eating "plastic".
The boy Brecken, from the outset, has already "evolved" into a full plastic eater. The mother, representing parents of young "social media artists" today, smothers him. This represents the consequences of parents allowing their children to consume and produce cheap, easy to consume exhibitionism eventually leading them to be killed by it (ex: kids being killed by their stalkers, older men being fans of young girls) as if the parent was the actual murderer.
Through the entire story, the main character Saul resists "evolving" into a plastic eater (ex: "tumor-like organs" that grow inside him = the cancers of society) using alien-looking tech just to eat and sleep (Ex: cpap, hospital surgical devices, feeding tubes, mechanised beds etc). Finally, after just giving in to "evolving" into a plastic eater does he find complete contentment and peace. However, never does he realize that his "painless" exhibitionism is the very cause of his morphing into a plastic eater; he's now desensitised to it all.
Along the way, we also meet two woman voyeurists who drill holes into people's heads representing the mindless, intellegence draining people of CZcams Channels and pornography; they create content that displays to everyone their so-called "inner beauty" but is secretely "horrific" for us to watch, and we can't turn our eyes away (ex: Adrienne, Ear Man, zipper device, etc.). In addition, Ear Man (Klinik) demonstrates how even the hippocritical Producer of his "Art" (ex: the music and entertainment industry) can be the very one who exploits the financial successes but joins the "popular" view of hating it (ex: via anonymous likes, dislikes, etc.).
There are many more metaphorical references throughout the story and Cronenberg uses the genre as a warning of the future "horrors" of becoming "Plastic Eaters". Cronenberg asks us If we are disgusted by what we are watching and thus why are we not disgusted by what we "consume" in today's media? He suggests that if we are not disgusted by what we're watching, we're already a plastic eater. Indeed, ultimately society will become senseless, meaningless, painless, completely devoid of the characteristics that make us human if we don't stop eating plastic both metaphorically (ex: social media, empty entertainment, exhibitionism, voyeurism, pop culture, celebrity status, etc.) and physically (ex: oceans being full of plastic: fish eat it, we eat the fish). Neither has any nutritional value and will evenually destroy us and society metaphorically, physically, and socially.
Excellent analysis and interpretation of the film. Maybe I'll see it differently next time I watch it.
I loved your interpretation. It's something I've been thinking a lot lately, it's depressing what we are evolving into and I can't seem to phantom a solution to it (well, I'm no one so there's that too lol).
Can't wait to see the movie now.
out of the thousands of readings you picked the only wrong one, good job
I think it's actually the other way around, plastic is what we materially consume as a society, and at the moment we prefer to live with it and consume, the works of art of caprice are the symbol of this, of us not wanting to change and just wanting always something new. Starting to eat plastic, being the progress unstoppable, is actually the only (although disgusting) way to change the things, to avoid to sink in plastic, to be stuck with producing waste and consuming the tumors that would actually help us to evolve and survive (in a horrific way, surely)
Man if this is true then this movie isn't as deep as i thought.
I am Ear-man. It is time to listen!
we need the video of the ear man --- only
A normal day in berghain
This gives me a Madonna's "Bed Time Stories" and Jennifer Lopez "The Cell" blended together
It makes me imagine what the world of the future will really be like. What kind of existence will the descendants of humanity create for themselves?
Yet he still, like people today, hears only what he wants to hear...😆
The Ear Man remember Jeremy irons😉
Why tf is he in a random corner in a ninja suit?
Imagine if he suddenly walked away on all fours
That's just Saul being Saul. He's a strange fella
Where in the movie? Have seen the movie but not this scene.
Dieter from SNL: Now is the time when we dance on Schprockets.
Essa é a mais verdadeira ressignificação de "sou todo ouvidos"
This man can hear even the most silent of farts
she literally says in this scene that the extra ears are not functional

The funniest sequence of the last 20 years.
I like his movies, but it felt like he was trying way too hard with this one.
Are those all working ears?

"Ask me what it means! ASK ME WHAT IT MEANS!!!"
Who cares what it means, take this being of existence not as a question, but as a feeling/experience.
The audience remind me of the followers of the avant-garde in society. Those who are obsessed with following the next artist trend like some kind of surreal groupie
Aqui el mundo perdio sensibilidad 😢 no interesante
ρяσмσѕм ✌️
Not scary, not entertaining, I don't get it
David Cronenberg is great at creating horror themes and body horror stories, but this movie was so stupid. Seriously I just burst out laughing while watching this scene.
Oh I was definitely cracking up too! I'm still not sure how I feel about the movie either. You definitely, at the very least, have to be a fan of the director.
Tbf they do literally say this guy is just a stupid performance artist. I laughed too, but that was the point.
@@raisinbrand5000 I'm rather ambivalent about this movie, myself. I wanted to like it, but I couldn't, and I also couldn't bring myself to dislike it, either. It has interesting ideas, concepts, and lore at the end of the day, but never really does a whole lot with them, and never really challenges the audience in any meaningful way, either.
I was all in until the dinky music and dancing started. 😕
Don't watch it.. the storyline is sooo damn boring
art films are not for everyone
@@Dan-gi6tf cronenberg films*
@Dreamy go watch Marvel or something.
@@Dan-gi6tf love art films love weird shit this movie was boring
I literally burst out laughing when he started dancing. What a boring, terrible movie. Only made it half through.
This movie was so pointless, aimless and boring that I shut it off after 30 minutes
Wtf
