The most realistic part of this movie is that Big Pharma finds this miracle beach, and immediately uses it to conduct unethical human experiments.
Exactly,
The Umbrella Corporation!
but with a Beach!
I don't even want to know what would happen if this same company had access to Covid 😳
They'd have been fine if they had open trials asking for test subjects instead
On point
Glad to hear that m knight owns the movie 🎥👍
@@Niop_Tres it is how some pple do it tho .....
Those poor kids will need plenty of therapy afterwards. How will they adapt in the world now that they're physically adults, but still have a childlike mentality? The implications are disturbing all around.
Good to know I’m not the only person who thinks that. Like not only do they have childlike mentalities but they’re now in their 50s so they’re gonna have physical problems too pretty soon. I honestly don’t know how they could live productive lives at that point
I was Morticia in that musical this year.
Yeah that's one of the first things I thought of too, it's so dark hoe these people are basically fucked for life
Honestly the most hopeful ending in this scenario is if the helicopter pilot pulled a One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and smothered them both with a pillow immediately after the last shot ended.
No matter what they lose
I like that he has full control of his movies. It may not always be the best overall product. But it’s better than constant interference from the studios where the film ends up choppy or incoherent.
Exactly!
Yeah, because Glass was the pinnacle of filmmaking, amirite?
@@SuperFlawless2010 lol that's not what they said. They just said it's better than the alternative. That doesn't mean it's necessarily guaranteed to be the best.
Nah, it's a way for a man obsessed with his ego to make whatever the heck he wants to make, surrounded only by yes-men.
@@lasura Well, no. Freedom of expression is something all filmmakers want, regardless of gender. It's the only reason some of the most challenging female directors have gotten to portray their message the way they want on screen. Also, M. Night wasn't surrounded by yes-men, he was literally working with his daughter lmao.
I found it rather adorable and sweet that his kids were the ones who got him into the graphic novel and now they all ended up working on a movie of it together.
They got him into Avatar: TLA too & that didn’t go so well
@@alisaurus4224 I remember that M Night decided to make a live adaptation of TLA because his daughter is a fan of the show and even in the end of Lady In The Water, he made credits said: "To My Daughter, please go to sleep" or something. Does this guy hate his daughter so much?
@@margarethmichelina5146 ????? it's just a lighthearted joke, calm down. it's saying she should go to bed instead of watching a show, that way he wouldn't have to make a movie for her. which is OBVIOUSLY A JOKE. he clearly loves his children very much, because if not he wouldn't allow them to inspire and influence his projects as heavily as they seem to, and he certainly wouldn't let them direct. it's just a joke, chill out. don't escalate to such an extreme assumption over something so trivial.
and before you say i'm just defending him because i'm a butthurt fan, i have literally never watched a single one of his films.
@@aparajitakazi8950 why haven’t you seen his films? At least his should’ve seen his most famous films.
@@viciousbane569 you're right but I don't have money :( and his most famous movies (Sixth Sense, The Happening, etc.) all came out before I was born so I never heard of them until I was like 14, but my parents very rarely take me to see movies (strict with money). BUT I actually think I watched The Visit (and possibly Split??) at a friend's house and just forgot about it until now lol
This movie was a great and fun watch, the critics are way too harsh, I'd give it a low 7/10, it could have been a 9 if the dialogue was better, less blunt acting and a better ending.
Didn't expect to see you here fam
Wow didn’t expect to see u here
blunt acting is something that will forever be in shamalans movies.. he probably does it on purpose.
Lol it's really weird seeing ABD commenting on stuff cause idk whose voice I'm mentally hearing
I think this movie is a 10/10 solely because I cried laughing 3 different times at how ridiculous it was
We watched it yesterday and liked it, not his best, but not his worse too. I would rewatch it no problem.
I totally agree. It’s just sort of pretty good, it’s mixed but at least it’s interesting and weirdly emotional.
Yeah, he really fucked up The Last Air Bender
"not his WORST"
You are comparing more than 2 things/movies.
@@unrepentantoffender188 out of all of his works. You're just too stupid to figure that out.
I almost watched it a few hours ago but I chose to watch Pig instead and it was absolutely amazing
I love how they’re calling it a twist ending yet throughout the whole movie you see M watching from the top of the mountain…
Yeah I don’t consider it a “twist”. A plot like this can’t just not have an explanation to it. It’s not a twist but an explanation as to what the hell is going on
Yeah. I mean it’s still pretty unclear what exactly the purpose of his observing them is until the reveal actually happens. As far as m night movies go, it’s a very safe twist.
Ikr.
The fact that M. Night has been funding his recent work all by himself makes SO MUCH SENSE
Ive always wondered who was willing to produce his works. They are almost always a hot mess
@@KillasaurusArcade01 split was pretty good I hope he makes something like that again
@@desireandfire it was...
@@KillasaurusArcade01 Wrong
Yeah it kinda does… although he has made some movies of questionable quality before that too. I don’t know when he started funding his own stuff, but The Happening, Glass, and the Avatar movie adaption we don’t talk about were objectively … bad. On many levels.
I could care less about the critics I just want to see something that's not a prequel, sequel, remake, or war movie
Then this is your perfect movie!!! My family and I actually liked it... critics are being savages
yea i would definitely watch this just for the original premise, fuck hollywood and their cash cows
@@carolinem.6747 still making money and movies people like so...they could care less what you think lol
Yeah bro fuck those critics. if keep listening to all the useless critics my ass will never enjoy shit after all. Cuz im bored annoyed to watching or seing same basic movie or superhero movie with overused storyline lol
Nah,this movie sucks fr! Especially the dialogues!
M Night Shyamalan has always had money. And the main reason why he funded all those other movies is cuz nobody would touch him after the last airbender.
Lmao.
I don’t watch any of his movies bc of that movie
Yeah that killed his career
Ahaha i liked Airbender but I also never saw the actual show
@@sashasims5692 you'll hate it when you watch the actual show
please explain to me why mid sized sedan hasn't aged even though he has been on the island longer than others???
black don’t crack babe.
@@ohfrjackie7758 😂
Exactly, he been there for an equivalent of 100 years
He says something about being black lmao he right we age well
I honestly think Night put him in the movie for racist purposes lol. Too many plot holes altogether tho
chrystal’s fate was honestly the coolest.. the way her body started to heal in different ways was disturbing
That scene was so uncomfortable I stared laughing
@@AW-hn6ro that scene was soo weird I didn’t know what I was looking at, it was just awful😂
I totally agree. It was an awesome scene that wouldn’t work in pretty much any other movie but this was the PERFECT movie to have a death scene like that, where because their bodies are aging so fast, it means their wounds are healing fast too, so every time one of her bones broke it would instantly heal in that broken position, rinse and repeat. Awesomeness lol.
So how did she died since the bones healed?
@@ango8466 She has calcium deficiency, so over time your bones become more brittle and warp over time. And since its happening so fast and she's not taking any calcium the effects would be very rapid( but obviously the scene was dramatized for the movie)
You got Shyamalaned! Edit: wow that bit about his dad with dementia really hit me, I wasn't expecting that. Looks like I got Shyamalaned 😅😂
Damn, M.Night's daughter looks EXACTLY like him.
Who is his daughter?
As she should.Lol.
Well, genetics...
Ha haaa DNA…
Not really! I think m.night looks like his daughter not the other way around
After seeing Old, Fast 9, Black Widow, Wandavision and In the Heights. I think the theme for this years films is “Family” lol
yeees
Makes sense considering how 2020 was
Same thing goes for Space Jam 2
Even the memes this year are about family
If you’ve seen Escape Room 2, the theme checks out
I watched old when it came out a few days ago and it’s actually pretty creepy. I definitely love it more than I should
At first I thought that maybe the food they were given for the picnic was wrapped in that material (nylon?) Because it kept the food from going bad in a place where things age rapidly and that maybe they could use the material to protect themselves. But I guess the aging only applied to living things?
It was mentioned that hair and nails weren’t growing rapidly because they were dead cells.
@@satatay23 I didn’t get that as well so food didn’t go bad because it is “not living” but somehow that didn’t apply to dead bodies and they were decomposing really fast??!!!!!!!
@@-anaamna5616 exactly what I thought, too!! Why wasn't the food decomposing as fast as the dead bodies?
This movie is like In-N-Out fries.
It's not bad, it's not good, but it lacks just a little but of *something*, enough to agitate you
THIS! This is exactly how I felt about this movie. It was fine but it didn’t fully satisfy…something, I’m not sure what!
In N Out fries taste like paper. Why are they hollow? I don't get it...
It was mostly ass but the ending was actually interesting, maybe because it meant I could finally leave the theater
The fries are Missing the animal style
you straight up stole this line from Karsten Rundquist you frckin plagarist. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, in his What I watched in July video, he said Old was like “fries without the salt.”
I laughed so hard at the “minerals” joke. That was glorious
M Night's biggest weakness is by far his writing.. but the stores themselves and the concepts he explores are usually quite fascinating.
Working with your daughter in something you love and passionate about must be super satisfying.
The best part for me is the continuity of the appearance of the children. From kids to teens to adult. It's spot on!! I applaud M Night for these intricate details and how they make you feel. To me that's his best skill as a director/film maker. The Village is my favourite movie.
I thought I really didn’t like this movie. But here I am, 4 hours after watching it, still curious about all the reviews/analysis stuff. Evidently, I liked it more than I thought if I’m still thinking about it.
Speaking of M. Night and his daughter, he directed The Last Airbender movie because his daughter is the big fan of the show and what I heard is they didn't speak for a long time because you know, the movie sucks. Also, in the end of Lady In The Water, the end credits said: "To my daughter, please go to sleep" or something. I think the plot twist is: he hates his daughter secretly.
The last airbender he regrets and lady in the water was a story he would tell his daughter so that line
Didn't like Lady in the Water don't get it 🤦🏻♀️
I’d love to see a prequel of this we could hear about the earlier experiments possibly maybe even the story of the uncles nephew maybe they weren’t really even related.
It could be kind of like The Hunger Games - each Game from the past/in this case each Experiment has an unique course of events and could work as a plot
@@elitsagospodinova7241 I agree!
Right??? Like, what's up with Madrid (who gives the drinks)? Is she actually a kid, but went to the beach to look older so she could help out? Why did they film her reactions, and the uncle trying to calm her down?
🤷🏻♀️🤔
I’d love to think that the uncle took the child into his care after sending his parents to the island for trials
I bought the Sandcastles comic just to find out what this was supposed to be and I appreciate his reimagining. But??? CAN WE IMAGINE IF ARI ASTER MADE THIS?!? 😭😭😭
I think Ari Aster would make a better job than Shyamalan especially on the dialogues because Shyamalan's dialogues are still cheesy and goofy. Also, the book is way horrifying than the movie with the image but putting the dog dying while falling from the cliff is too much to see in the movie.
So what happened to the dog?
@@queerdor The dog died. It ages older and faster in human years. As soon as I heard that, I was like "Oh no, not the dog!" ;(
of course ari aster would have been better, even robert eggers tbh. the dialogs and acting sucked ass lol
I’m late but I was thinking the exact same thing !! This would’ve been crazy (in a good way) if Ari made it
I was really high in the theater when I watched this and seeing the group of people - the older lady, the kids, the dog - walk on the beach in the beginning gave me a pretty intense feeling of dread. I wish they showed way less in the trailer though. All in all, a solid 7/10 for me.
I feel like I’d get confused/overwhelmed a bit, if I was high watching this. Probably just gonna pop some morphine & drink some vodka instead when I watch it. Man, I really need more classics to be released. I’m excited for The French Dispatch. & I Loved once upon a time in Hollywood. A quiet place 2 was ofcourse good but it felt kinda short. Hateful 8 -4 hour Netflix version was an awesome extra little gem from the past.
Sucks running out of classics to watch :( I’ve seen like all Tarantino. Scorcesse, Spielberg, Lucas, Nolan, shamalayan, Edgar Wright, coen bros, Francis Ford copola.
I did the same thinking it would be fun, I was wrong. I was so dreadful and sad the whole time.
@@Puppy_Puppington Danny Boyle has done some really good work. So has Alex Garland. And of course David Fincher.
@@claudiao7743 for me the ending was happier than I thought it could be. Maybe happy isn’t the exact word, but at least there was a resolution. I’m not a fan of a lot of ambiguous endings out there, and I thought this would have one.
Mr. Case I also have watched all their stuff. I should’ve mentioned them too. Lol there’s so many I forget sometimes. Like when someone asks you about your favorite bands. Unless you’re looking at a list you wrote beforehand, it’s hard to recall all of them for some reason. Oh don’t forget Sam raimi for evil dead & spiderman trilogy. That was my childhood. Peter Jackson also was my childhood. Lotr in the bigscreen was amazing. With my legolas action figure by my side 😎.
“Overtly sexual moments but like… it’s French” HAHAHAHA
I had such a good time seeing this with my mom who had no idea what it was about. It was definitely nice to be back at the movies watching a new M. Night movie. Definitely a director that keeps it fun.
"Because M Night doesn't stick to the formula, they have none for the baby, so it goes from womb to tomb." Man, that is some awesome, slick writing. Bravo, sir, Bravo
A woman's body is designed to give a baby everything it needs as soon as it's born, though rarely there are medical reasons why a woman can't produce. If they had let the baby follow its natural instinct to crawl up her body and latch to her breast, it wouldn't have died. But then you'd have a new character which would complicate an already complicated storyline.
Another movie that should have been a Twilight Zone/Black Mirror episode
Actually a Twilight Zone-like show headed by MNS sounds amazing
or imagine a show like the Twilight Zone where each episode is written and/or directed by different famous creators, like MNS, Christopher Nolan, etc.
The bit that got me was when Kara and Trent hold their dead baby in the blanket and you can hear the bones rattling... I almost screamed.
Jesus Christ, they're minerals Marie!
No, they're rocks Hank!
I need my calcium!!!
That part was crazy.
Lol I looked away towards the end it looked horrific
@@leahgu612 I love how that chick does a lot of this crazy body horror. I always expect something weird with her. She always picks cool scripts to act in.
😆
@RainbowDreams30 I wish the whole movie had a little more of that body horror.
I enjoyed the movie. The disorienting camera panning and angles pulled you into the slow boiling chaos, creating sense of dread. You know what's coming, you can't stop it, and you don't always see everything as it happens. That's life. Perfectly curated films can get boring or feel forced, like you can see a script in the actor's minds. The horror aspect is as much family oriented as it is body horror. Deterioration is often scarier than a simple fast death.
"He died from lack of attention" made me chuckle so hard
At the end of this movie I was like “ok.. ya that was a movie” like I got it, my attention was held throughout, I thought about it, but it just wasn’t amazing and had too many questions at the end. How did the dead girl not seem to experience any decomposition until the main characters get there if they don’t get there until at least 10+ years (by magic beach time) after mid size sedan and the woman do? If their hair and nails don’t grow fast because they are dead cells then why does the beach affect dead bodies and cause them to completely decompose within hours? I need more answers lol
Decomposition is a complex process involving several stages and elements including living organisms such as bacteria and insects. There might be a reasonable scientific explanation for the apparent inconsistencies, or not, but I’d personally just hand-wave it there and keep my suspension of disbelief. I don’t think there’s much merit in trying to create a detailed scientific analysis of an imaginary process made for entertainment, especially if you didn’t particularly enjoy the movie.
true I mean I feel that way with movies like “Us” like sure it doesn’t make a ton of sense logically but i still love the movie and can suspend my disbelief enough to enjoy it for what it is but idk, with “Old” the things that didn’t make sense to me or felt inconsistent felt like they stood out. Like they couldn’t walk through the canyon they entered from to get out, they can’t climb the rocks to get out, they cant swim around to another beach to get out, all of these cause them to black out and then leave them unconscious, yet for some reason swimming through the coral tunnel just.. works, and they could both swim like adults and hold their breath for a REALLY long time despite being literal children the day before (also the guy was in like pretty good shape despite not having worked out really in like almost 50 magic beach years). Like I felt like in the 6-8 hours the two kids slept over night, their bodies would look and feel as if they slept for 12-16 years, which is a long time not to use your body. Like to me that whole ending felt phoned in, like they couldn’t come up with a good way for them to be able to leave the beach with all the rules they created for the beach, so they had them swim through a magic coral tunnel and I was just kind of like.. ok. Idk I just felt like the writing wasn’t great
for me one of the worst laziest explanations was why they cannot leave the beach. This the-bends-like-headache. It was basically... because yes. I am surprised at the low quality of the movie and the appraisal still recieved. No wonder why cinema keeps getting worse. No reason to spend money in doing smth decent.
It's a Shyamalan movie. Not a Nolan movie. Suck it up.
@@bryh555 but it does make sense because the set up was to experiment on humans and see what the island would do to them.The coral was there just to see if anyone would think of going in it and it basically brought them back into their regular time warp and there was a reason why that kid gave them the note that said “My uncle doesn’t like the coral”or sum like that
If he would’ve ended it more like the graphic novel it’s based on I think it would’ve been better. The twist wasn’t quite twisty enough as you could see they were being watched the whole time. I also think it would’ve been cool if once you swam through the coral or left the parameters of the beach that time reverted and they ended up being children again.
YES. That's exactly what I've been saying! Like all of his films, simple little changes would've elevated this movie to rave reviews from everyone.
I agree the ending was twisty enough, but the thing with the children reverting probably wouldn’t work. I know there is a such thing called movie magic but if you think about adults in movies never believe children. The hotel employees could have just blamed their imagination and then it would have been that.
@@elsamiller6223 true, I agree 👍
M's films doesn't focus on the endings, but rather how the characters trying to interpret the situation. From "Sixth Sense" to "Unbreakable" to "Old" were all about characters trying to figure out what's happening to them and how to cope the situations.
@@tomarnold7284 and signs….
The only reason M Night Shamalan pays for his own movies is because no major studios want to be involved with him after major bombs like The Happening and After Earth.
But when he pulls it off it's AMAZING.
Because he can and learned to not overspend like majority of studios do.
you forget the worst one... The Last Air Bender movie adaptation.
That movie doesn't exist idk what you're talking about
There is no Avatar Movie in Ba Sing Se
just wanted to say thank you for this video. REALLYYYY wanted to watch this movie on my bday but due to circumstances, i couldn’t. just to realize you posted this on my birthday. 🥲🥰 best birthday present ever! keep up all the hard work, it’s very appreciated!!!
This night guy just always comes up with the craziest concepts for real 👀👀 I love it !
i was literally just looking for this review
I'd like to hear your thoughts on Blood Red Sky. A vampire on a plane thriller that came out on Netflix this past friday. I think it would be right up your alley.
I personally liked the movie Blood red sky. Cool to see the more feral part of vampires again. I liked the bond between Mother and child aswell.
I really like the movie I saw the other day and I thought it was nice to bring back that more feral animalistic type vampires and also it showed the love of a mother what she would go through to protect her child even at the cost of her humanity and I thought that was really neat and I also like the fact that it's kind of took stereotypes and use those in different ways in the plot so that was really cool to me it is a slow starter but once it starts going it goes and some of it is predictable but not a lot like there were things I was like oh I didn't see that coming and then there were parts where I was like oh yeah I saw that coming but overall I really didn't enjoy it I love vampire movies especially when they're more in line with Mets typical myths about them for instance I don't like the glittering vampires I think that's enough said
Good movie, but god that kid kept messing everything up. I loved the way the vampires look with the mother going full vampire at the end. Would like to see some thing else with vampires designed like that in another film.
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.
I liked how you mentioned all of M. Night's other movies 😛😄
0:27
"Whether it's a hit of you 're SPLIT on it"
I see what you did there.
Haha, hilarious pun, cue rim shot! 🥁
He used "unbreakable" and "signs" as well when talking about the plot. What I heard from only one viewing. I bet he put more titles in there.
Ehh I don’t get it…..
Just saw the movie and thought it was interesting. I was really hoping the two kids would age back
I think it made sense that they remained adults. It would have been even more traumatizing for them to grow up with memories of being adults and seeing their parents die, etc. Probably better that they remained adults in that sense.
There's another beach where time is reversed so they'd have to go there
THREE LMES IN 2 DAYS?? mans working overtime gotta appreciate that
I really enjoyed this movie. It was different and kept you watching unlike so many movies these days.
I'm soooo happy you posted this!! The trailer intrigued me but the rotten tomato score... anyway I love your videos.
I saw it and it was pretty solid suprised the reviews were so bad
I actually really enjoyed it. I think a lot of critics went in thinking it was a horror movie (which it isn't). For some reason M Night get's classed as horror when the vast majority of his movies have not been horror. That's going to cause a lot of mismatched expectations.
I agree but I also think that the trailer gave the idea that this was going to be a horror movie
And they insist there is a twist. They ignore story telling, the dialogue reflects the graphic novel way of exposition.
The moment they said "OMG it's mid-sized sadan" everything went downhill for me lol
See, I kept my interest until the baby thing.
I think this is his third worst movie after lady int he water and last airbender
It was so overtly racist, just like in the comic, except at least in the comic all the white people were extremely judgmental about it. In the movie everyone just accepts it and let him die to a "schizophrenic" patient. Bruh
the moment the kids started speaking he lost me. the script and acting were terrible, at this point i wonder maybe a little studio interference may not be all that bad 🤣
@@takutolovex Wrong
@@unknow11321 Wrong
I think it was an interesting movie which gives a few Perspective about a human life and how it suffers through Time itself. Like how when suddenly your brain gets Developed, Then how it will effects your mental thinking ( which is Not Matured) , and Also , with the course of time people thinking gets changed around Others. M.Night Shamalayan movies are one of its Kind .
No one is talking about how hilarious and ridiculous the cave scene was?! 😂 homegirl broke her arm and then decided to thrash around and break the rest of her bones
At that point she wanted to die. She may have just been trying to turn around but the rapid decaying of her body became he own worst enemy.
you sound like a 12 yo
Hilarious and ridiculous? The scene was a nightmare! She was living a lavish life where her only concern was her beauty. Now her look and body wore off to a point she became self-destructive, like a drug addict overdosing himself to end his life rather than suffering. You should just stay with your Avengers and Fast & Furious.
@@tomarnold7284 alright bro i think you're reading a little too far into this lol. its m night, he wouldn't have thought it through
@@unknow11321 lmfao for real
Great video explaining straight and to the point
Damn working overtime I see. 2 vids one day. Loving it. Keep it up man.
the funniest two parts of that movie are idlibs face when the resort/pharmaceutical director tells him his uncle said he cant talk to guests AND when the surgeon was focused on the jack nicholson/marlon brando movie as he was trying to remove the moms tumor.
I am going to nerd out on this because why not. It is my thing. So time is accelerated on the beach, something like 30 min of beach time = 1 year of real time. That is actually possible but not in the way the movie portrayed. Time is a property of space. You have three dimensions of space and one dimension of time. Einstein showed that the flow of time actually depends on your local frame of reference and that two people observing each other's frame of reference from a distance could see time flowing differently based on the different velocities of the two frames. If one person is stationary and the other is traveling at half the speed of light, the stationary observer would see the clock slowing down on the speeding friend. The fast friend on the other hand would see the stationary clock as speeding up. But here is the kicker. To each observer, their clock is ticking normally.
So Sneaky Pharma has this place of accelerated time, and from a distance, that beach clock is moving fast so they can observe the human guinea pigs. If the folks on the beach could see the Pharma clock it would tick slower than their clock. BUT the same rule applies to the local clocks as in the above example. The beach clock would be ticking normally for the beach people. Time is a property of space, not people, so the whole beach would be accelerated from an outside observer, but for the people on the beach, the whole space would appear to be normal. They wouldn't age any faster than normal from their perspective, the diseases wouldn't grow exponentially from their perspective, in fact, everything would be very normal. What would be strange to them is to see the sun hardly move in the sky, the waves far out on the ocean moving very slowly compared to the waves within their bubble of accelerated time, and the birds frozen in the sky.
The Pharma spies would also not see the diseases take over the bodies and so their whole drug testing scheme would fall apart. The people on the beach would probably die of starvation if they didn't find a food source, or die of dehydration if they couldn't find or make a water source. From an outside observer, years are passing within the bubble, but the people on the beach are experiencing those years in real-time from their perspective. Imagine being trapped on that small beach for months and years in a normal situation. For the beach folks, it is a normal situation from their perspective, it is the rest of the world that is moving so slowly. Their deaths probably wouldn't be from the accelerated diseases and aging but from lack of resources. The movie idea is interesting and the social point is more than valid, but it just wouldn't happen the way it does in the movie.
I think the thing was that their cells were decomposing faster instead of "time" as a whole accelerating, but your concept sounds interesting for another movie, too!
Man haven't watch your videos in a long time but you are a wordsmith. Great video 😂 really hilarious
I actually loved this movie and the background you gave on it made me love it even more
The Visit, Split, Glass, and Old are all amazing films hands down, whether you like M Night or hate him
The sixth sense, Signs, Unbreakable and Special mentions Lady in the water ( one of my favs) and The Devil ( I think he produced) too.
He’s going to tell us a story we’ve never heard. And I love him for it.
@@each6002 Yes! You never know what you are going to get with him and it’s amazing.
@@each6002 Update, just saw Old (2021). I honestly very much enjoyed it. It of course has its negatives such as the deterioration of the story around halfway through the 3rd act, questionable dialogue, and weird camera shots. As for the positives I loved the visuals and the overall beach setting, they were some truly suspenseful moments and a decent kill count with some very quality kills even for its PG-13 rating, all in all I would give the film a 3/5 ⭐️. Definitely not his best but oh so far from his worst. Definitely worth a watch for me!
kind of dissenting here. I really think Old was quite bad. Dialogues, general plot, execution, climax moments with barely no payoff, lazy explanations. I think I went with too high expectations. The core idea was great, the rest very bad, but well in synthony with hollywood cinema nowadays
@@esthermas4703 Barely any pay off? Did you not appreciate the visuals and decently disturbing death scenes? And as for the plot and all else, I would say the film was lacking in some of those departments but I wouldn’t exactly say the ending is bad per say, If anything it just sets itself up for potential sequels. (Not that Shyamalan was ever a person to make sequels anyway)
Filming with his daughter is really sweet
Yo this video is really good and made my night thank you for making this
I like it. A few questions left unanswered, but overall it was good.
I’m curious to see if there would be a follow up, but it’s better for it to be unknown.
M. Night usually says that he doesn't do sequels, so I wouldn't expect more films linked with Old, but maybe that's for the better since the film has a fairly closed ending.
Old: 30 minutes ~ 1 year
Interstellar: 1 hour ~ 7 years
Conclusion: Water makes you age fast
I was waiting for ur LME, I can’t watch anyone else’s explains 😭
thank you for that forensic analysis. i couldnt understand the movie at all. now i do...
I saw this yesterday and I was devastated when they killed the baby and the dog back to back
AAAAAAHHHH!!!
I think the best thing about Old was hearing M. night working with his daughter. I found that touching.
I love that M. Night Shyamalan got his kids involved in the film project OLD.
Yooooo back to back uploads??? Lissssten
This movie was like one of my most chaotic and stressful fever dreams.
Honestly it was very a good movie, some moments were cringe but still i enjoyed it, and it was so emotional almost at the end, where the parents were too old and looking at their kids taking care of them.
2 videos in one day am I in heaven
I saw this with my divorced parents and sibling and oddly got so emotional during it. It hits at a lot of family issues i and my family related to. But other than that it was a fun lil watch. I like how his movies have a really emotional score especially towards the ending.
This felt like the closest we will get to a lost movie lol.
Honestly I thought this movie was pretty decent. My bigget problem was the pacing, sometimes things were happening so fricking quick I couldn't grasp what was happening. I know in the movie time moves fricking fast, but holy crap
I was getting ready while watching this so I wasn't looking at my screen but at the end when you said "Tilda Swinton cousin" is in this movie I literally thought you meant the mom character cause they seem so alike 😳 even while watching in the theatre I thought that
Double upload, baby!!!! We eatin good tonight!!!!!!
oh cool two vids in a day
Yep, it's always sweet when LME uploads! 😍
youre two in a day
you're

I laughed at the "black don't crack" joke in the movie looool
Same!
Loved this so much
I appreciate your reviews.
After his success with the visit and split I’m sure any studio would take a gamble
So glass and this one could’ve definitely gotten paid for
So that’s not an excuse anymore
That studios don’t wanna pay
He bombed the big budget films Bc that hasn’t and will never be his thing
He has his own unique style of story telling that always comes through if he sticks to his own ideas
My thought is it sounds like a bad episode of Fantasy Island, or should we call it Pharmaceutical Island lol 😆
Fantasy island was pretty dope. I really like the twist at the end.
I was waiting for this 🙂
Just watch this 2 days ago. I thought we were going to see the baby grow up really fast.
Moral of the story: Stay away from Tenet beach.
As with many of MNS's movies you have to be in the right mood to enjoy it. I was and I thought it was pretty good. Yes it had quite a few plot holes and the directing/script had the cast underacting when they would normally be overacting and vice versa like, none of them seemed overly shocked when they removed the tumor, like wtf?! Those things aside I thought it was an interesting premise that was quite well done.
The funniest line delivery was "Wow, I just got chills..."
I highly recommend South Korean Netflix originals "Sweet Home" - 10 episodes and "Kingdom" -2 seasons 6 episodes each :)
pretty fast to watch but there's so much to unfold its actually crazy
I really loved this movie since the trailer.
When the woman’s calcium deficiency makes her go all zombie our theater started cracking up
Bruh I was in stitches when that scene was happening 😂 like mns didn’t want to show the bodies but he showed that
@@livm9306 hahaha it was just like so goofy
I can't wait for you to do "cruel summer" ending explained!
Oh shit, this is a family produced movie?? I might actually spend money on it, hell yeah I'll support M. Night and his kids.
I would have liked the story better if the lab at the end was a through line like you have the family on the beach trying to figure out what's going on and the lab discussing diseases and treatments kinda like cabin in the woods
Old is another edition of what I've been calling the Lost Cinematic Universe.
What are the other lost movies ?
@@Anthonycheesman33 Fast & Furious franchise, Ant Man films and...better yet I need go put my list together on Letterboxd so I can share it
@@rahbeeuh Has the Fast & Furious Franchise being part of the Lost Cinematic Universe got something to do with Hans coming back? Because other than that I don’t really see the correlation.
@@ExtremeTalker-xw6cd no Michelle Rodriguez was in that franchise and she was on Lost. Also, at one point she was thought to be dead.
@@rahbeeuh Ohhhh yeah haven't watched the show in a while so forgot she was in it.
There’s so much that can be explored in this universe. And i want more
Are you sure czcams.com/video/YLrgjm53umc/video.html
Excellent!
