I really like that we essentially got the good ending of the guy making it out alive. But the end has me thinking he's still being hunted by the rolling giant.
[SORRY IM FRENCH, AND USE GOOGLETRAD] *In english :* Or else, he still hasn't left the backroom! It would be a copy of the real world, but in a room so large that it is possible to have vegetation, weather, and a sun / moon system! The staircase he takes at the end, would just actually be an access to another backroom room... (because it is not by this staircase that he arrived at the very beginning, but despite everything he comes out from exactly the same place from where he came back! ) *In French :* _Ou alors, il n'a en réalité toujours pas quitté les backroom !_ _Ça serait une copie du monde réel, mais dans une salle tellement grande qu'il est possible d'y avoir une végétation, une météo, et un système soleil / lune !_ _L'escalier qu'il prend à la fin, serait juste en réalité un accès vers une autre salle des backroom ... (car ce n'est pas par cet escalier qu'il est arrivé tout au début, mais malgré tout il ressort exactement par le même endroit d'où il est rentré ! )_
I can't wait for "Rolling to New York: The Rolling Giant in the Big Apple", where we'll see Rolling Giant accidently find himself in wacky scenarios, such as when he mistakenly becomes a player in a NY Giants game or when he falls in love with one of the autonomous police robots rolling around a subway.
@@50Steaks68ohh interesting. Then potentially trapped inside the giant was the previous victim. Now they changed places with wyatt to escape. Could explain how it knew what a car was and how to drive
@@davidhong1934 Because the last clip isn't Wyatt running his car away, it's actually The Giant's POV as we see in Part 3 it's watching Wyatt as he lay on the ground, probably processing what just happened.
@@TheTHEPARTYROCKER101 well they somehow fit golden freddy inside the backseat in the fnaf movie so it could probably happen this is a joke dont start a debate
OH! Those distorted shots at the end were The Giant's POV! And I would probably careen into a tree, field or ditch. I don't drive, but I'd bet that that'd be the mother of all distractions.
i like to think the giant followed him out (it took him a while longer cuzz of the wheels and shitty placement of the exit door) got outside to chase the guy then realized he was free from that rundown mall, and immediately chilled out and just started exploring.
Absolutely, I see it as From: Humanity left me to rot and be forgotten, I will take out my anger on this one To: Woah, the outside, I wouldn't have gotten out if that dude didn't show up meanwhile, In the other world where Wyatt dies, the giant continues to rot, having succeed in killing him out of frustration, but at the expense of an eternity of entrapment
if this is true, I''d really love that! I've always had a 'theory' of sorts that you do actually die, but your mind and soul continue where you left off in a new timeline where you didn't die. The jolt you feel during a near-death experience is something like the whiplash of your mind being sent to a new body of yourself in the new timeline; hence why in part 3 we saw the man die at the end, but here he moves onward
There a thought experiment called Quantum Immortality that's pretty much this. Is really interesting, I'd recommend taking a look at it if you haven't already
@@joshgomez671 Heck yeah! For reference, there is a name for ideas broadly about that concept: Quantum Immortality. I'd post a link to the wikipedia article about it, but it uses a word in the title CZcams doesn't like.
I compared the two videos side be side and the exact moment he falls in one, he grabs on to the stairs in the other. also on the one where he survives, you hear a bang of metal or something at the EXACT time he dies in the other video.
I’m pretty sure “Dallas” is a nod to an ancient tv show called King of the Hill. I don’t know if they ever show the village of Dallas in the tv series which Kane made a 3D render of or if he just used the name; but he definitely didn’t invent it.
As for the ending, I don’t think the rolling giant physically leaves the mall but rather, as the protagonist drives away he carries the memory of the mall and the giant, (down the road) with him, effectively ‘dispersing’ them. I definitely feel like idea of being forgotten is a big theme in the series which is also why we see the quote about how little of human history we actually remember.
On the way out the ground was covered in what, in my experience and opinion is dirt with a little moisture in it, kind of like he said in the first video that it had been raining for 2-3 weeks prior. The stairs he took out weren't the same as going in.
This is definitely there, but it's also worth pointing out that the human history seems to be connecting to something larger with a photo of an archaeological site at the end of the fourth video and the track for that section in this video being called Jebel Irhoud which is the site of the oldest found human remains.
What I found kinda funny and wholesome was the Rolling Giant’s PoV changing from a laser-focus on chasing Wyatt to looking around the countryside as he drives by. “Hey, this is actually pretty relaxing. Oh look, some cows.”
He just posted this on his community page: "Hey guys! I want to apologize to everyone who saw the Found Footage #3 announcement stating that it would release today. That was the original plan. However, some last-minute (mundane but necessary) legal complications have come up, and unfortunately, I’ll need to postpone the upload for a few more days as things are worked out. I hope to have this resolved ASAP. I appreciate all of your patience! -Kane"
when he made it to the stairs, i couldn't believe my eyes, it felt like it was wrong, it felt wrong getting to see what i wanted to happen many months ago, something turning out right had never felt so wrong
The noise of the AMC sign falling right as he made it through made it feel like he jumped into an alternate reality or something. Sent shivers down my fucking spine
@@lonestarr86 waaaaaaaait holy shit thats a good theory!! That explains the double perspective of him dying and him surviving (i guess? This part is probably the weakest of the theory) and it ties pretty well with the pov of the car with the giant's rolling sound
He still has to somehow mocap that realistic camera movement, or? Otherwise, that would be very, very impressive keyframing, cause idk if simple camera-shake could convey this movement.
One of the things that I think most people unknowingly love about his style is the lack of words, lines, ect. He uses imagery and visuals to convey the story...which is harder and way more enjoyable and requires a lot more talent and effort.
that is how you are supposed to do it, but quality of entertainment over the years has degraded so far that talent is actually rare. very glad too that he puts this much effort into his things even though he also kinda retconned the fuck out of the "beneath the earth" ending. makes me wonder what explanation there is going to be for that.
The stairs collapsing suddenly with no dust or debris, the lack of water damage despite all of the rain, plants and trees suddenly appearing in places where they weren't before and couldn't possibly survive, the dead horse for a few frames, him falling, then not falling, the lights working even though there's no infrastructure, the exit to the street being completely embedded in the rock face, him falling in the mall but then suddenly being outside in the sunlight... It all points to one thing. Time, in this place, is not linear, and it's course is not static. Neither are spatial relationships. The reference at the end suggests that this mall was built by some ancient human civilization, long forgotten, slipping through time and space to find itself deep in the hillside, as if teleported there. Unlike the backrooms, this structure has a function and a purpose. It was designed and clearly occupied at some point. The space itself is not distorted or out of place, but everything around it is.
I noticed the AMC sign went from normal new condition to aged and falling apart within like 30 feet of him hoofing it by there. Seems we are walking through some elastic timescapes here
Nah its purgatory. The space between life and death. Kane died and is going through limbo. The giant is a manifestation of kanes fear and trouble accepting death.
I thought that too. We see Wyatt still lying where he was at the end of 'The Rolling Giant', then The Giant staring up from underground, then Wyatt experiencing escaping.
The stairs when he is running up keep repeating every like 10 steps. Might symbolise the fact he is in a timeloop or that he is literally going nowhere forever having the Giant right behind him.
There's something so dreadful seeing this play out differently, like you are seeing a different path that you know isn't real. It's so stomach wrenching knowing that something isn't right. It's the same feeling when he first made it into the mall, slowly realizing what he's gotten himself into, himself stuck into. Beautiful work, Kane. Truly breathtaking.
5:58 The immediate cutaway from all the panting and stress in Wyatt's voice to a quiet, scenic above-shot view of him in slow motion, running away from the hole in the open field really embodies that sense of uncanny relief. Is this Wyatt actually safe now? Is the Rolling Giant still following him? I've missed watching these, man. Thanks so much, Kane!
Another one of my favourite parts was at 4:04 becasue before he jumps on to the stairs he leans back like he's gonna fall like he did in the original, but just before he falls he jumps on to the staircase and I thought that was really well done
Wyatt gets in the car, exhales a deep breath and relaxes; he's safe now. He looks around at the road, turns on his signal, and adjusts his rear view mirror... ONLY TO SEE THE GIANT IN THE BACK SEAT! *Dun dun DUUUUNNNN!*
For real! It makes me wonder: is he actually alive or is he a copy? Is his soul still trapped in a room that masquerades as the above-ground world? Did the giant purposely keep him alive or brought a doppelganger into this reality because once you enter the mall you're not SUPPOSED to leave because then the giant can too?
@@maxredjasper55this may be a little theory I have in mind but I think the dead one and the alive one are 2 separate people same people but from parallel universes different outcomes I'm guessing they both connect somehow from what we are seeing here
The shot where it looks like he gets to the top but there's another stair case is the most anxiety inducing thing I've seen in a long time. Great video.
My working theory is this: The reason Wyatt returns is because of this, Julien lives off of memory, due to Wyatt dying, all that footage would’ve been lost to time, basically losing the memory of the giant. With Wyatt’s survival, the memory of the giant lives on, existing still. That’s what I think at least.
Another way i saw it was the whole scene where he fell and died was more of a vision, sort of warning from the giant, as it was capable of showing visions (such as the dead bodies and animals seen in the previous videos) so in a sense, it was showing what it could've done to him and what could befall him if he would to ever return back to the place.
@@clardif the giant couldve spoke at the end i think it wouldve went along these lines based of your theory (for laughs) *Get yo ass back here boi i may have let you live but you aint leaving that darn mall* But that could be a interesting theory
I agree with some other comments. Wyatt died. But he has possessed the Giant, or perhaps become entangled with it. His successful escape here is Wyatt unable to perceive his fall. Rather he only senses moving up the stairs and escaping. The hard cut to the statue rolling down the road at the end reveals what's really happening as Wyatt "drives home". This is a very recognizable device from stories and myths of ghosts, possession, and reanimation! A spirit will be incapable of seeing itself or the reality of the present moment. It will see what it expects to see as a living person. Wyatt just wants to escape and go home. He sees a car and himself driving. While his spirit pushes the Giant to move. A nice touch to consider after the fact is the desaturated image of Wyatt's body in the end of part 3. It could be seen as conveying Wyatt has left his body and become one with the surrounding environment or something in it - and then we see the Giant above ground a short distance away. This is similar to the series introduction when "The Botanist" (Julien Reverchon) is desaturated in a living world of color; it represented his spirit haunting the natural environment he was attached to, having become one with it.
I take into question how the giant respects the rules of the road such as driving on the right side and also is going at a decent speed. Mix that with how he's looking around too like a person would when driving esp with the shot of the cows which seems random for the giant to look at unless it was Wyatt's spirit basically, so that theory seems to only seem more true but who knows.
@@RyanBlomquist the way the camera is positioned high like the giant is and you hear his wheels on the road. that's how we know it's the giant from a pov style.
Whoa, I honestly think you're on the right track here. Everyone was pointing out the silliness of the giant respecting the rules of the road and I thought it was funny that he looked at the cows just like people do, but if he's possessed it totally makes sense. The colour makes sense now too, as well as the reason that we get two alternate endings (Wyatt dying vs escaping)
For those of you who are seeing this, a quick word of advice. Upon release, this video IMMEDIATELY garnered a lot of attention, as expected. This has also attracted lots of bots and spammers posting links in order to farm views and clicks on other videos. Ignore or report them, do not trust these random links to the "full video" (you're literally watching the Full Video), "Interviews with Kane", a "Part 2", or some "Finally completed" project. It has nothing to do with actual quality content like what Kane creates, it's just rapidly produced garbage. Just sit back, relax, enjoy the video, and appreciate the wonderful work of art that Kane's taken these past several months to create. (I hope this makes everyone's experience in the comment section a little better, and helps fend off some of these obnoxious spamming parasites). Have a good rest of your day, and I hope you all loved this addition to The Oldest View as much as I did!
@@love.theory Eh, maybe if Kane weren't providing a more important public service than I did already, ie linking the playlist for all the videos in this amazing series.
I see the ending of the Rolling Giant “chasing Wyatt” as Reverchon’s spirit finally escaping the clutches of the abandoned mall/american commercialization and finally being with nature again, being outdoors and looking at the scenery, like he loved in real life. Maybe he’s following Wyatt because Wyatt is a botany student and he trusts him, or maybe he isn’t following Wyatt at all in the end, he’s just hoping Wyatt will lead him out.
The things that blow my mind about these videos is the details that nobody thinks about. I’m in the world of construction, and if you notice that stairwell walls are stacked concrete block. Not concrete walls. The insane amount of concrete block needed for this is astronomical. Small details like this make these videos, amazing and mindbending
@@theRPGmaster I'm going through this myself right now. I've been commissioned to reconstruct an old building from the 1500's in 3D and the documentation on this is very small so the research on my part is exhaustive and every single choice from the doors, arches, materials used and logically sound construction is a sweat inducing task in itself to ensure I get this as accurate as possible.
@@MonsterJuiced That sounds interesting. I have a weird obsession with details, sometimes it hinders productivity, but quality is important. I run Europa Software LTD. When I see quality I take note.
Bro. You’re on another level. I know it’s weird to hear people say that, but like… what you’re doing is so beyond the scope of *normal* it’s insane. Your skills with CGI and storytelling are INCREDIBLE. It’s no wonder you got a contract with A24. Seriously, respect. You’re one of my favorite filmmakers out there. Your skill is unreal. PLEASE keep doing you. This shit ROCKS.
Dispersal is one way seeds travel. I’ve never interpreted The Rolling Giant as malevolent. So when Wyatt falls in the previous video I got the impression the Giant was trying to warn him but because it encompasses something so unknowable to the human mind Wyatt reacted in fear. When we see Wyatt on the ground here as if he’s going to rot and become one with the earth then see The Giant’s face lit by the sun through a small crack in the ceiling it reminded me of how plants always grow from cracks in pavement. “Let my story disperse. Let the sun once more give this man one more chance to go into the world and grow.”
In the last few minutes of Part 3 we see a brief flash where the Rolling Giant is surrounded by dead horses and people, and it attempts to smash into Wyatt so hard that it causes the structure of the mall to fail. I don't know how the Giant's disposition started out, but by end it certainly didn't mean well.
@@swedishhousemfia So the boy accidentally slipped and died the first time, the giant felt bad, reversed time and let him escape again, and then escaped with the boy? Why would the giant cause the whole building to nearly collapse near the end if he wanted the boy to escape and was "never malevolent"? Was it just an accident? That sounds hard to believe. Who else would cause the building to nearly crack when he's just about to escape? If it wasn't an accident, then why would he suddenly shift from being malevolent to good? Not only that, what is the meaning of the group that is coming together to discuss the creation of yet another mall? That isn't explained at all here. There's too much that doesn't make sense or remains unclear with this explanation.
I think it's far from over... Kane has opened Pandora's box, the rolling giant has stepped out of the past... bigger things are to come! Thank you kane pixels for your story!
The fact that the backrooms is starting to be "old" is just insane to me. I'm about to be 33 and I guess it's just part of getting older. The time just flies.
i think it's implied that's the rolling giant in that scene moving, think about it, it's not a dash cam that's taking that footage and we never see the car, not to mention it looks around but you never see any windows or the inside of the car, it's from the perspective of something moving and the wheel sounds make me think the giant is out in the real world now
Took me a second watch to realize that right at the beginning at around 0:13 you can hear him screaming from the scene where he originally falls to his death! So much fun looking for all the little details. Great job as always!
You can hear that cursed muzak playing too, before everything goes silent the *precise* moment he falls. And then the door creaks open, as if it were a grumbling response to the metaphorical shutting of another.
He's mentioned paying for a rendering farm to render part 3 in Wendigoon's reaction of the series. I'd imagine he did the same for this vid and I don't blame him either at all esp when iirc he talked about his computer was struggling when even working on it.
@@Yourlocalwordrobe Seems to have posted something similar under almost every comment, even Kane's own. It's seems to either be botted or just insane levels of manual spam, ignore it.
@@Davavo I KNOW!! I was somewhat relieved at the end of the last video after the mall collapsed because at least then I knew that the giant was gone and we wouldn't see him again, but then Kane has to go and completely screw with us again and let the giant free. What the hell man?!?!
When the other car passes Kain I think it’s just so good to see him relieved and that he knows he’s back in human contact. Hey y’all I’m sorry that I called the guy Kain I keep thinking it’s the same guy from the backroom found footage.
Exactly. If an entire mall could be made a prison, why not the outdoors as well? Kane plays with the idea when he shows the GPS map failing to load, but resolves it when the car passes by. If there's anything wrong with this scenario, it goes much further than we ever imagined.
But what about that thing about anatomically modern humans? And the fact that Wyatt is supposed to be dead? What if he somehow jumped timelines and is now in a weird backrooms universe where humans are almost human but aren't?
@@greylight5Nah, the human thing is just noting how little of human history we actually know because recorded history began so recently in the context of our species' existence. It's implying the mystery is something ancient and unknowable. It is called "The Oldest View", after all
There's also a bit about some sort of old temple or structure. Wendigoon was shown explicitly during stream yesterday. Also just throwing it out there, that Kane's friendship with Wendi is amazing
No way is my dude running that smoothly up those shitty stairs without slipping or varying the cadence of his footfalls, but props for the incredible stamina and lung capacity.
Yep, I thought the same thing, very Kubrick-like. Specifically his movie Barry Lyndon, which used an unusual camera setup to get beautiful, colorful outdoor scenery shots under only natural lighting. The results were like digital color grading... but in 1975.
In both, the audience sees a corpse apparently dead from the elements, uncommon but not rare in the real world. The apparently "natural" death, conceals the supernatural elements involved in the final hours of his life. Only the audience knows the truth; the people in-universe will never know.
In the "Life of a Giant" video, the song "Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want" by Dream Academy plays throughout the video. The song is from the perspective of someone who lived a life of misfortune, lamenting and praying for something better in their life. This is fitting, especially for the Giant's circumstances and the fact that somehow despite their destruction, both the Giant and the Mall continues to persist in the underground. At the end of THIS video, the song "Every Time Around" by Vansire plays. This song has a similar tone to the previous, although it's more uplifting. In the short time the song plays, we hear the lyrics: "The night gets cold but there's smoke in the clouds. I'm having trouble sleeping and it's stressing me out. The words may fall short of something profound. But every time I'm with you I'm just glad you're around...How's it sound?" When you hear the song in full, it ends with these lyrics: "The night got cold there was smoke in the clouds. Then you came and found me when the world had me down. The words may fall short of something profound. But every time I'm with you I'm just glad you're around... How's it sound?" So from these songs, I believe that the Giant did not want to be forgotten, so it had a copy of the mall preserved underground. Naturally though, having a mall deep underground means that hardly anyone would visit it. Being alone for a long while "can make a good man bad" (Dream Academy), as the Giant seems to lash out against anyone who managed to find the mall, keeping it forgotten once more. But there's something about Wyatt that seems to have left a "Profound" effect on the Giant. While it did kill Wyatt initially, we see in this video that somehow Wyatt successfully escaped the mall. Has the giant finally realized the error of its ways, and changed Wyatt's fate to correct that mistake? I'm not really certain, but either way, seems like the giant is now out in the world as a result of this change, according to the end of the video at least... (The more than clear sound of a passing car, the subtle sound of the trees, the distinct "rolling" sounds, and that odd rattling at the end... No doubt this is the giant we're seeing through)
so, you're saying that with whatever powers the Giant has, it decided to reverse Wyatt's fate and "save" him, allowing itself to be set free ? (i'm trying to understand the timeline as best as i can)
That's a good point. If there is power enough to transport the mall (or a copy of it) and the giant underground, why not change the outcome of the past. The giant has some kind of power and the not wanting to be forgotten is a damn good reason why it would want him to live. Damn good theory. Much better than a recon or an alternative ending. Edit/PS: I hate recons so damn much
I'm thinking it's less that the giant changed fate and more that there are two wyatts. If the giant could make a copy of the mall it could make a copy of wyatt, so maybe there's one that died (the body in the woods) and the one we see here that escaped.
The bit with him actually managing to escape The Gallery is strangely optimistic after his literal death in the original episode, but stranger still is the ending scene. While it seems to take place on a road to somewhere, the distorted vision and wheel noises imply it to somehow be from the perspective of The Giant or something similar? Whatever the case, I am sure The Gallery is far from done with our protagonist.
@@Gecko1115 Definitely. But the question is what the fuck its doing out The Gallery. Is it some sort of surreal case of possession where our protagonist only thinks he got out alive but really got turnt into one of those things? Is it actually still pursuing him somehow (which sounds like the most plausible one of these crackpot theories)? Maybe he exited to a world that isn’t his own? All sorts of confusion there.
I screamed YO WHAT! When he made it to the stairs! Man you could post a 1 minute long video and I’d watch it 500 times just to analyze every frame, you have such an incredible talent for storytelling through your films, never lose that passion! You’re one of the greats of our generation for sure!
Theory: Wyatt is dead, as evidenced by the previous instalment. His spirit was dispersed back out into the world, and perhaps, in reality, he and the rolling giant became one. Wyatt, from his perspective, thinks he is alive when driving the car while, in actuality, nobody sees a certain Wyatt driving any car; they see a rolling giant, finally unbound, roaming the streets. Wyatt isn't being followed in the end; he is the rolling giant speeding down the roads -- he just isn't aware that he's dead.
I reckon, this is kinda like a time loop scenario. It doesn't have to be time loop in the literal sense, but like after the 'real' Wyatt enters and dies in the mall, and because the mall likes to preserve memories (As many theories propose). The mall is preserving Wyatt's memory, replaying his events in the mall over and over again. Until one version of Wyatt manages to escape, but because he isn't the 'real' Wyatt, the rolling giant must bring him back in order to restore order.
Oof, no this makes very little sense in what we've seen so far, and even less when you consider that the Wyatt we see exit in this video has escaped into an alternate timeline. There is always a Wyatt, and there's always a mall. Watch the bit where he's crawling toward the exit again; every time we see a pan down, we see numerous bodies on the floor below. Lots of Wyatts.
The outdoor locations in this series are just incredible, I'm awestruck every time by how beautiful the nature is. So many gorgeous land features just begging to be used in a film project.
I'm not 100% sure where the outdoors location is but believe it is or is near San Francisco Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve. Near the end of the video when he's driving we can see a sign that says Point Gallinas Rd which is in San Rafael, CA.
Someone pointed it out in comments but i adore the feelings that the alternative ending made me feel. Everything went right, and it felt so, unreasonably wrong. I fucking love it. This very simple change made me so unreasonably uncomfortable. I LOVE IT
This is what i always wanted to see in a horror. How main character escapes the danger and gets to complete safety. I feel so happy for that dude, he survived. UPD: No, he is not safe at all. We can see from rolling giant's perspective how he follows main character's car. To be honest it is way more uncomfortable for me to imagine that he will need to hide from this thing instead of simple death. Great job, Kane, you made it even scarier
We literally watched him die , idk how u can just assume that this is reality. Also even if he did really survive it seemed to me like he's being chased by the rolling giant there at the end. He is absolutely not completely safe.
Seeing what is assumedly the pov of the rolling giant at the end makes it so much more unsettling because now i realize how fast the rolling giant can go
THE LEGEND HAS RETURNED Also at 0:11 you can hear Kane yell when he fell so the MC didn’t die? I’m guessing it’s a alternate reality since the door was warping away Also at the end you can hear the rolling giant when he’s driving away Also someone did add that his body is still in the woods but that theres “two kanes”
I have never yelled RUN at a youtube video before but that streak was broken today. I could feel the exaustion on those stairs with him! great work once again
When he stopped to look back once he reached the top of the stairs, I literally just thought “WHAT ARE YOU DOING BRO THIS IS WHAT GOT YOU KILLED LAST TIME, GO GO GO”
My man Kane is a director, an actor, an editor, a 3d artists, music composer, writer. Damn fuck what he can do I want to know what he can't do. Great content 🔥
Theory: Wyatt has been dead since the previous instalment, but it's just that his spirit was dispersed back out into the world, and perhaps, in reality, he and the rolling giant became one. This implies that -- although yet to be answered objectively -- the rolling giant must've gained something from Wyatt that finally liberated it. Wyatt, from his perspective, thinks he is alive when driving the car while, in actuality, nobody sees a certain Wyatt driving any car; they see a rolling giant, finally unbound, roaming the streets. Wyatt isn't being followed in the end; he is the rolling giant speeding down the roads -- he just isn't aware that he's dead.
I felt so much relief watching Wyatt finally make it after every time I’ve watched him fall. Then you needed to give me a trip with the rolling giants creaking sounds at the end
@@ImJamieXThat is _not_ fucking Wyatt. The implication is that the Giant reached the surface and is either wandering around or actively following Wyatt aboveground now.
@@sboy2044 what we are both saying is we both got scared at the end by the realization that the rolling giant was on the road. That is the reason why Kane structured it this way, focusing on Wyatt escaping so we think he is safe. Only to cut to the giant's perspective directly, without showing us the Giant, leaving us to figure out that it was the Giant not Wyatt which was actually above ground and possibly following Wyatt, creating dread.
I love how every single time I understand absolutely nothing at first. Every clip needs to be watched several times and I still need some smart ass to help me dig further and connect at least a few dots. I love this series so much for that.
Congrats Kane on getting A24 interested in your work. I hope they're a good fit for you and that your film is a great success. I know I'll be watching it.
The best thing about this is how physically immersive it is, maybe I just have anxiety but I realized halfway through how fast my heart was beating. Kane is so good at bringing you into it so you feel as vulnerable as possible. I absolutely love and hate what this series does to me lol.
When I watched “the oldest view part 3” I really wanted him to make it out! But apart of me said the saying “curiosity killed the cat”. I just always had a feeling his destiny was to die down there. He got way too curious. Personally I would never go into an underground facility! It could be a lab/goverment. You just would never know. When I saw this video I felt sick watching him on that ledge. I wanted him to make it out but I knew he wouldn’t! But then when I saw him actually make it I thought I was hallucinating. It didn’t feel real. I wanted him to always make it out but I knew he wouldn’t! But in this alternate timeline he did. Fair play Kane pixels!

“It look like a tinfoil brick?”
“Nah.”
“Then it ain’t a Tesla.”

Or else, he still hasn't left the backroom!
It would be a copy of the real world, but in a room so large that it is possible to have vegetation, weather, and a sun / moon system!
The staircase he takes at the end, would just actually be an access to another backroom room... (because it is not by this staircase that he arrived at the very beginning, but despite everything he comes out from exactly the same place from where he came back! )

From: Humanity left me to rot and be forgotten, I will take out my anger on this one
To: Woah, the outside, I wouldn't have gotten out if that dude didn't show up
meanwhile, In the other world where Wyatt dies, the giant continues to rot, having succeed in killing him out of frustration, but at the expense of an eternity of entrapment
Nah hes hunting him now forever
I like the subtle clue that his GPS was upside down and he had to flip it around. He entered an alternate timeline.
if this is true, I''d really love that! I've always had a 'theory' of sorts that you do actually die, but your mind and soul continue where you left off in a new timeline where you didn't die. The jolt you feel during a near-death experience is something like the whiplash of your mind being sent to a new body of yourself in the new timeline; hence why in part 3 we saw the man die at the end, but here he moves onward

@@supertoasting1011old ytp joke
As for the ending, I don’t think the rolling giant physically leaves the mall but rather, as the protagonist drives away he carries the memory of the mall and the giant, (down the road) with him, effectively ‘dispersing’ them.
I definitely feel like idea of being forgotten is a big theme in the series which is also why we see the quote about how little of human history we actually remember.
It’s possible that there were major civilizations before but no trace is left of them.
It fits in with the idea of why the mall was underground to begin with - because you bury what is dead.
The Giant is basically Rob from Void (The Amazing World of Gumball)
On the way out the ground was covered in what, in my experience and opinion is dirt with a little moisture in it, kind of like he said in the first video that it had been raining for 2-3 weeks prior. The stairs he took out weren't the same as going in.
This is definitely there, but it's also worth pointing out that the human history seems to be connecting to something larger with a photo of an archaeological site at the end of the fourth video and the track for that section in this video being called Jebel Irhoud which is the site of the oldest found human remains.

Imagine Denis Villeneuve x Kane Pixels
that is how you are supposed to do it, but quality of entertainment over the years has degraded so far that talent is actually rare. very glad too that he puts this much effort into his things even though he also kinda retconned the fuck out of the "beneath the earth" ending. makes me wonder what explanation there is going to be for that.
The stairs collapsing suddenly with no dust or debris, the lack of water damage despite all of the rain, plants and trees suddenly appearing in places where they weren't before and couldn't possibly survive, the dead horse for a few frames, him falling, then not falling, the lights working even though there's no infrastructure, the exit to the street being completely embedded in the rock face, him falling in the mall but then suddenly being outside in the sunlight...
It all points to one thing.
Time, in this place, is not linear, and it's course is not static. Neither are spatial relationships.
The reference at the end suggests that this mall was built by some ancient human civilization, long forgotten, slipping through time and space to find itself deep in the hillside, as if teleported there.
Unlike the backrooms, this structure has a function and a purpose. It was designed and clearly occupied at some point.
The space itself is not distorted or out of place, but everything around it is.
I noticed the AMC sign went from normal new condition to aged and falling apart within like 30 feet of him hoofing it by there.
Seems we are walking through some elastic timescapes here
Nah its purgatory. The space between life and death. Kane died and is going through limbo. The giant is a manifestation of kanes fear and trouble accepting death.
You're all wrong, this is just one of those prank videos where you go:"Really? Why would you fake that?" upon learning it's fake.

@@Guy96477 same thing I thought, but that scene at the end implies hes probably not safe yet
The stairs when he is running up keep repeating every like 10 steps. Might symbolise the fact he is in a timeloop or that he is literally going nowhere forever having the Giant right behind him.
I thought it was some texture bug, because it was made in Blender.
More probably it's just easier to reuse the 3d model for ~15 steps than to model hundreds of individual steps
Or its just Kane being smart and reusing the same few 3D modeled steps
or kane got bored remodeling the same concrete step for the 50th time so he just copied it
There's something so dreadful seeing this play out differently, like you are seeing a different path that you know isn't real. It's so stomach wrenching knowing that something isn't right. It's the same feeling when he first made it into the mall, slowly realizing what he's gotten himself into, himself stuck into. Beautiful work, Kane. Truly breathtaking.
Yeah, I'm curious. Is this an alternate ending? Or something else?
Well said!
It’s so weird how even though this is the “good ending” (where wyatt makes it out alive), it still feels very wrong
The way he looked around when he got into the car gave off "where the hell am I?" Vibes, like he didn't remember anything about how he got there.
glaze
5:58 The immediate cutaway from all the panting and stress in Wyatt's voice to a quiet, scenic above-shot view of him in slow motion, running away from the hole in the open field really embodies that sense of uncanny relief. Is this Wyatt actually safe now? Is the Rolling Giant still following him?
I've missed watching these, man. Thanks so much, Kane!
Another one of my favourite parts was at 4:04 becasue before he jumps on to the stairs he leans back like he's gonna fall like he did in the original, but just before he falls he jumps on to the staircase and I thought that was really well done

Oh my god not the giant using his own ancient form of offline google maps. The sound of his lil fabric cloak flapping in the wind is killing me
thats his musty wheel grinding against the asphalt
My working theory is this:
The reason Wyatt returns is because of this, Julien lives off of memory, due to Wyatt dying, all that footage would’ve been lost to time, basically losing the memory of the giant. With Wyatt’s survival, the memory of the giant lives on, existing still. That’s what I think at least.
I love this theory!
this is a rlly good theory frfr
Where did the name Wyatt come from?
Another way i saw it was the whole scene where he fell and died was more of a vision, sort of warning from the giant, as it was capable of showing visions (such as the dead bodies and animals seen in the previous videos) so in a sense, it was showing what it could've done to him and what could befall him if he would to ever return back to the place.
@@clardif the giant couldve spoke at the end i think it wouldve went along these lines based of your theory (for laughs)
*Get yo ass back here boi i may have let you live but you aint leaving that darn mall*
But that could be a interesting theory
I agree with some other comments. Wyatt died. But he has possessed the Giant, or perhaps become entangled with it. His successful escape here is Wyatt unable to perceive his fall. Rather he only senses moving up the stairs and escaping. The hard cut to the statue rolling down the road at the end reveals what's really happening as Wyatt "drives home".
This is a very recognizable device from stories and myths of ghosts, possession, and reanimation! A spirit will be incapable of seeing itself or the reality of the present moment. It will see what it expects to see as a living person. Wyatt just wants to escape and go home. He sees a car and himself driving. While his spirit pushes the Giant to move.
A nice touch to consider after the fact is the desaturated image of Wyatt's body in the end of part 3. It could be seen as conveying Wyatt has left his body and become one with the surrounding environment or something in it - and then we see the Giant above ground a short distance away. This is similar to the series introduction when "The Botanist" (Julien Reverchon) is desaturated in a living world of color; it represented his spirit haunting the natural environment he was attached to, having become one with it.
I take into question how the giant respects the rules of the road such as driving on the right side and also is going at a decent speed. Mix that with how he's looking around too like a person would when driving esp with the shot of the cows which seems random for the giant to look at unless it was Wyatt's spirit basically, so that theory seems to only seem more true but who knows.
Am I missing something I do not see the giant anywhere in the final shots
@@RyanBlomquist the way the camera is positioned high like the giant is and you hear his wheels on the road. that's how we know it's the giant from a pov style.
Honestly a underrated comment I love this theory
Whoa, I honestly think you're on the right track here. Everyone was pointing out the silliness of the giant respecting the rules of the road and I thought it was funny that he looked at the cows just like people do, but if he's possessed it totally makes sense. The colour makes sense now too, as well as the reason that we get two alternate endings (Wyatt dying vs escaping)
For those of you who are seeing this, a quick word of advice. Upon release, this video IMMEDIATELY garnered a lot of attention, as expected. This has also attracted lots of bots and spammers posting links in order to farm views and clicks on other videos. Ignore or report them, do not trust these random links to the "full video" (you're literally watching the Full Video), "Interviews with Kane", a "Part 2", or some "Finally completed" project.

@@HullsColbyYeah you right bro.
Dispersal is one way seeds travel. I’ve never interpreted The Rolling Giant as malevolent. So when Wyatt falls in the previous video I got the impression the Giant was trying to warn him but because it encompasses something so unknowable to the human mind Wyatt reacted in fear. When we see Wyatt on the ground here as if he’s going to rot and become one with the earth then see The Giant’s face lit by the sun through a small crack in the ceiling it reminded me of how plants always grow from cracks in pavement. “Let my story disperse. Let the sun once more give this man one more chance to go into the world and grow.”
you got it.
I felt like the giant was just lonely and happy to have someone back. And was angered when he said he was leaving.
In the last few minutes of Part 3 we see a brief flash where the Rolling Giant is surrounded by dead horses and people, and it attempts to smash into Wyatt so hard that it causes the structure of the mall to fail. I don't know how the Giant's disposition started out, but by end it certainly didn't mean well.
I kinda see this name s meaning that's not really Wyatt and he's some kind of a "seed" that only thinks it's Wyatt that the giant let loose.
@@swedishhousemfia So the boy accidentally slipped and died the first time, the giant felt bad, reversed time and let him escape again, and then escaped with the boy? Why would the giant cause the whole building to nearly collapse near the end if he wanted the boy to escape and was "never malevolent"? Was it just an accident? That sounds hard to believe. Who else would cause the building to nearly crack when he's just about to escape? If it wasn't an accident, then why would he suddenly shift from being malevolent to good? Not only that, what is the meaning of the group that is coming together to discuss the creation of yet another mall? That isn't explained at all here. There's too much that doesn't make sense or remains unclear with this explanation.

He's mentioned paying for a rendering farm to render part 3 in Wendigoon's reaction of the series. I'd imagine he did the same for this vid and I don't blame him either at all esp when iirc he talked about his computer was struggling when even working on it.

@@ParadoxPerson02IT WHAT?!!
@@Davavo I KNOW!! I was somewhat relieved at the end of the last video after the mall collapsed because at least then I knew that the giant was gone and we wouldn't see him again, but then Kane has to go and completely screw with us again and let the giant free. What the hell man?!?!
Me too. I was like wow his car sounds awful...wait a sec...
When the other car passes Kain I think it’s just so good to see him relieved and that he knows he’s back in human contact.
Hey y’all I’m sorry that I called the guy Kain I keep thinking it’s the same guy from the backroom found footage.
Exactly. If an entire mall could be made a prison, why not the outdoors as well? Kane plays with the idea when he shows the GPS map failing to load, but resolves it when the car passes by. If there's anything wrong with this scenario, it goes much further than we ever imagined.
But what about that thing about anatomically modern humans? And the fact that Wyatt is supposed to be dead? What if he somehow jumped timelines and is now in a weird backrooms universe where humans are almost human but aren't?
@@greylight5Nah, the human thing is just noting how little of human history we actually know because recorded history began so recently in the context of our species' existence. It's implying the mystery is something ancient and unknowable. It is called "The Oldest View", after all
There's also a bit about some sort of old temple or structure. Wendigoon was shown explicitly during stream yesterday.

No way is my dude running that smoothly up those shitty stairs without slipping or varying the cadence of his footfalls, but props for the incredible stamina and lung capacity.
Dudes a business major but has the sprinting capacity of every #1 hitter in the MLB bruh
That music beginning with the long shot of him outside is incredible. That scene gave off strong The Shining vibes for some reason
Yep, I thought the same thing, very Kubrick-like. Specifically his movie Barry Lyndon, which used an unusual camera setup to get beautiful, colorful outdoor scenery shots under only natural lighting. The results were like digital color grading... but in 1975.
Yes, totally agree.
In both, the audience sees a corpse apparently dead from the elements, uncommon but not rare in the real world. The apparently "natural" death, conceals the supernatural elements involved in the final hours of his life.
Only the audience knows the truth; the people in-universe will never know.
just as offputting as the opening from the shinning
@@PhantomCat-wm8dt yeah, with you there
In the "Life of a Giant" video, the song "Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want" by Dream Academy plays throughout the video.
The song is from the perspective of someone who lived a life of misfortune, lamenting and praying for something better in their life. This is fitting, especially for the Giant's circumstances and the fact that somehow despite their destruction, both the Giant and the Mall continues to persist in the underground.
At the end of THIS video, the song "Every Time Around" by Vansire plays. This song has a similar tone to the previous, although it's more uplifting. In the short time the song plays, we hear the lyrics:
"The night gets cold but there's smoke in the clouds. I'm having trouble sleeping and it's stressing me out. The words may fall short of something profound. But every time I'm with you I'm just glad you're around...How's it sound?"
When you hear the song in full, it ends with these lyrics:
"The night got cold there was smoke in the clouds. Then you came and found me when the world had me down. The words may fall short of something profound. But every time I'm with you I'm just glad you're around... How's it sound?"
So from these songs, I believe that the Giant did not want to be forgotten, so it had a copy of the mall preserved underground. Naturally though, having a mall deep underground means that hardly anyone would visit it. Being alone for a long while "can make a good man bad" (Dream Academy), as the Giant seems to lash out against anyone who managed to find the mall, keeping it forgotten once more. But there's something about Wyatt that seems to have left a "Profound" effect on the Giant. While it did kill Wyatt initially, we see in this video that somehow Wyatt successfully escaped the mall.
Has the giant finally realized the error of its ways, and changed Wyatt's fate to correct that mistake?
I'm not really certain, but either way, seems like the giant is now out in the world as a result of this change, according to the end of the video at least... (The more than clear sound of a passing car, the subtle sound of the trees, the distinct "rolling" sounds, and that odd rattling at the end... No doubt this is the giant we're seeing through)
so, you're saying that with whatever powers the Giant has, it decided to reverse Wyatt's fate and "save" him, allowing itself to be set free ? (i'm trying to understand the timeline as best as i can)
That's a good point. If there is power enough to transport the mall (or a copy of it) and the giant underground, why not change the outcome of the past. The giant has some kind of power and the not wanting to be forgotten is a damn good reason why it would want him to live. Damn good theory. Much better than a recon or an alternative ending.
Edit/PS: I hate recons so damn much
I actually like that Kane uses music to help hint at the lore, since I'm an all things art lover, I like these theories the most.
I'm thinking it's less that the giant changed fate and more that there are two wyatts. If the giant could make a copy of the mall it could make a copy of wyatt, so maybe there's one that died (the body in the woods) and the one we see here that escaped.
@@orbrat212 love how much is left up to interpretation so we can theories like this and yours
The bit with him actually managing to escape The Gallery is strangely optimistic after his literal death in the original episode, but stranger still is the ending scene. While it seems to take place on a road to somewhere, the distorted vision and wheel noises imply it to somehow be from the perspective of The Giant or something similar?
Whatever the case, I am sure The Gallery is far from done with our protagonist.
yeah it's definitely The Giant. car tires don't make those sounds lol
@@Gecko1115 Definitely. But the question is what the fuck its doing out The Gallery. Is it some sort of surreal case of possession where our protagonist only thinks he got out alive but really got turnt into one of those things? Is it actually still pursuing him somehow (which sounds like the most plausible one of these crackpot theories)? Maybe he exited to a world that isn’t his own? All sorts of confusion there.
@@Gecko1115 But why did the car passing by not jolt or anything at the sight of it? I know I would...
@@T-74 Well our human has no service on his phone. So... maybe parallel universe?
The wheelie bin is coming for blood and he’s not following road laws
maybe he found something off and went fixing it, I hope he upload found footage 3 soon
If he has to edit, render, export and upload a new file, it may be a few days, maybe even close to a week until we get it :/
I screamed YO WHAT! When he made it to the stairs! Man you could post a 1 minute long video and I’d watch it 500 times just to analyze every frame, you have such an incredible talent for storytelling through your films, never lose that passion! You’re one of the greats of our generation for sure!
Theory: Wyatt is dead, as evidenced by the previous instalment. His spirit was dispersed back out into the world, and perhaps, in reality, he and the rolling giant became one. Wyatt, from his perspective, thinks he is alive when driving the car while, in actuality, nobody sees a certain Wyatt driving any car; they see a rolling giant, finally unbound, roaming the streets.
Wyatt isn't being followed in the end; he is the rolling giant speeding down the roads -- he just isn't aware that he's dead.
@@Aukrania good theory 🤔
a24 really funded this guy's project so well that he's able to hire so many actors
Umm okay
Seems to make sense
I believe Kane plays the mc
but no actors were hired for the video? what
It's an old video from real life, he didn't hire anyone
Love this series because I grew up with valley view and still live close by
Wow, incredible 😮😀
valley view was demo'd unfortunately
why take down found footage 3
Everytime I rewatch the rolling giant, I think "he might make it this time" so this was a trip
Yup
Sensible
First thing I said watching it. "I hope you make it this time."
The scariest thing about the Rolling Giant is that we really don’t know what he would do to us if he caught up.
Exactly he might not even be trying kill us
It's even worse thinking about how something like that even kills you
@@idontknowidk6077 preeeeety sure its no good intent as its willing to break walls with that amount force
Didn't you see in his past video, he just comes up to you and smashes in
big leafy hug
I reckon, this is kinda like a time loop scenario. It doesn't have to be time loop in the literal sense, but like after the 'real' Wyatt enters and dies in the mall, and because the mall likes to preserve memories (As many theories propose). The mall is preserving Wyatt's memory, replaying his events in the mall over and over again. Until one version of Wyatt manages to escape, but because he isn't the 'real' Wyatt, the rolling giant must bring him back in order to restore order.
Ooooh I like that theory my favorite so far
Kinda reminds me of the lore of No through road imo.
@@DaCryingChild NO THROUGH ROAD MENTIONED????
@@daveyvvv ANOTHER NO THROUGH ROAD FAN SPOTTED????
Oof, no this makes very little sense in what we've seen so far, and even less when you consider that the Wyatt we see exit in this video has escaped into an alternate timeline. There is always a Wyatt, and there's always a mall.
Watch the bit where he's crawling toward the exit again; every time we see a pan down, we see numerous bodies on the floor below. Lots of Wyatts.

The outdoor locations in this series are just incredible, I'm awestruck every time by how beautiful the nature is. So many gorgeous land features just begging to be used in a film project.
I think it’s somewhere in the Central Valley of California if I’m not mistaken
@@quenchthirster1417 The mall this series is directly based on is in Texas. If what you're saying is true, I wonder if that's purposeful.
I'm not 100% sure where the outdoors location is but believe it is or is near San Francisco Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve. Near the end of the video when he's driving we can see a sign that says Point Gallinas Rd which is in San Rafael, CA.
Actually looking around on discord it looks like this is where he is potentially parked
Turtle Back Hill Nature Trail, San Rafael, CA
Very fitting for a story that involves Julien Reverchon.

This is what i always wanted to see in a horror. How main character escapes the danger and gets to complete safety. I feel so happy for that dude, he survived.
UPD: No, he is not safe at all. We can see from rolling giant's perspective how he follows main character's car. To be honest it is way more uncomfortable for me to imagine that he will need to hide from this thing instead of simple death. Great job, Kane, you made it even scarier
Same
Genuinely
The rolling sound at the end made me think that the giant was still following him
We literally watched him die , idk how u can just assume that this is reality. Also even if he did really survive it seemed to me like he's being chased by the rolling giant there at the end. He is absolutely not completely safe.
@@maxwellbooth5946 interesting theory, but i think we won't see this man in the future
If your here to find out what happened to back rooms 3, he removed it shortly after the premiere.
Seeing what is assumedly the pov of the rolling giant at the end makes it so much more unsettling because now i realize how fast the rolling giant can go
THE LEGEND HAS RETURNED
Also at 0:11 you can hear Kane yell when he fell
so the MC didn’t die? I’m guessing it’s a alternate reality since the door was warping away
Also at the end you can hear the rolling giant when he’s driving away
Also someone did add that his body is still in the woods but that theres “two kanes”
GOAT
YOOOO
HES BACK
Alternate reality??
I bet there’s some time manipulation happening.
I have never yelled RUN at a youtube video before but that streak was broken today. I could feel the exaustion on those stairs with him! great work once again
When he stopped to look back once he reached the top of the stairs, I literally just thought “WHAT ARE YOU DOING BRO THIS IS WHAT GOT YOU KILLED LAST TIME, GO GO GO”
Watching him run up the stairs made my hands turn into a waterfall
The giant jumping up the stairs is probably the most hilarious thing ever, so sad we never see that
My man Kane is a director, an actor, an editor, a 3d artists, music composer, writer. Damn fuck what he can do I want to know what he can't do. Great content 🔥
he can make the entire film, filling every role lol.
he's like the Avatar. he has mastered every form of media
He can't poop. It's very tragic
We hear his scream when he fell in the beginning 0:13, then the door opens. So the way out didn't open until he died.
Theory: Wyatt has been dead since the previous instalment, but it's just that his spirit was dispersed back out into the world, and perhaps, in reality, he and the rolling giant became one. This implies that -- although yet to be answered objectively -- the rolling giant must've gained something from Wyatt that finally liberated it. Wyatt, from his perspective, thinks he is alive when driving the car while, in actuality, nobody sees a certain Wyatt driving any car; they see a rolling giant, finally unbound, roaming the streets.
Wyatt isn't being followed in the end; he is the rolling giant speeding down the roads -- he just isn't aware that he's dead.

@@ImJamieXWhat do you mean?
@@sboy2044 possessed, he really did die in the mall, the giant is now inhabiting Wyatt's body.
@@ImJamieXThat is _not_ fucking Wyatt. The implication is that the Giant reached the surface and is either wandering around or actively following Wyatt aboveground now.
@@sboy2044 what we are both saying is we both got scared at the end by the realization that the rolling giant was on the road. That is the reason why Kane structured it this way, focusing on Wyatt escaping so we think he is safe. Only to cut to the giant's perspective directly, without showing us the Giant, leaving us to figure out that it was the Giant not Wyatt which was actually above ground and possibly following Wyatt, creating dread.

The best thing about this is how physically immersive it is, maybe I just have anxiety but I realized halfway through how fast my heart was beating. Kane is so good at bringing you into it so you feel as vulnerable as possible. I absolutely love and hate what this series does to me lol.
When I watched “the oldest view part 3” I really wanted him to make it out! But apart of me said the saying “curiosity killed the cat”. I just always had a feeling his destiny was to die down there. He got way too curious. Personally I would never go into an underground facility! It could be a lab/goverment. You just would never know.
When I saw this video I felt sick watching him on that ledge. I wanted him to make it out but I knew he wouldn’t! But then when I saw him actually make it I thought I was hallucinating. It didn’t feel real. I wanted him to always make it out but I knew he wouldn’t! But in this alternate timeline he did.
Fair play Kane pixels!
Just for the record, Dallas Midtown is the name of the development being built where Valley View Mall was located.
True, and the Giant may not be happy about the world moving on without him. The Giant is restless and rolling around.
I am curious, one interpretation could be that the giant escaped with Wyatt and is planning to release the other giants trapped? Probably wrong though
