You Were Never Really Here: Joe and The Strive for Meaning (Film Essay)
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 07. 2020
- A video/film essay analysing Joe's psyche (from a Jungian perspective) as well as his quest for meaning in 'you were never really here'.
Intro:
Joe is broken, he barely exists, he wanders through the cesspits of a civilisation in denial with itself, one propped up by corrupt rulers and police officers, and one that turns its back on the very people who need its help the most, the war vet, the victim of parental abuse, the beaten wife. Central to ‘you were never really here’ is the strive for meaning despite such a hostile landscape in order to justify one's existence in the face of inevitable suffering.
Track list:
Piano Sketch - Thom Yorke
By the time that I awoke - Mark Kozelek and Jimmy LaValle
Silia - Apparat
Won't be a thing to become - Colin Stetson and Sarah Neufeld
We suck young blood - Radiohead (Zapp4 cover)
Nanou 2 - Aphex Twin
13 Angels Standing Guard 'Round the Side of Your Bed - Silver Mt.Zion - Krátké a kreslené filmy
Wonderful video essay - such detail and articulacy is a breath of fresh air on this platform. Can't wait to see more of your work :)
Oh man this was actually a really great analysis. Well done. As a PTSD sufferer, I thought this film did an spectacular job at using memory flashes to show his trauma, rather than a scene of exposition. That’s kinda how it goes for me, in terms of seeing something that triggers you back to a traumatic emotional event/place, the constant and almost emotionless suicidal ideation. Imo this is one of the most unappreciated films of the last decade.
(Great sound track too - I hadn’t heard the string arrangement of “we suck young blood.”)
Criminally underrated channel
