Yeah I recall it, but it’s not like a typical Ozu eating scene (around the table talking etc.)

@@thedudewhomadethisvideo Good movie!

And you’re a brain dead idiot who lacks critical thinking skills, so you resort to childish insults. I know not everyone will agree with this video but say something constructive like the people in the comments. Also really shows your lack of maturity that you just can’t accept people can like things you don’t, can’t see a different point of view have to live in your echo chamber, grow up dude.

Haha welcome back, it was fate you would find me again.

@@thedudewhomadethisvideo why don’t make video why certain movies got NC-17 rating?

Good idea, I’ll consider it. I’ll first need to watch every NC-17 rated film and examine why

@@thedudewhomadethisvideo you could do selective few maybe 10 or so and go from there

Thank you for watching dude, I appreciate it. I haven’t seen many channels calling them out, but I thought I would in this video since The Last Jedi very much birthed them I believe. But yeah I don’t get it either, it’s really not an issue focus on the film as a whole instead of what race and gender the characters are, it doesn’t affect anything.

Just to ask but why do you think The Last Jedi relies on past films too much when it actively pushes against them with its themes and story. As you said it’s canon breaking so sounds to me like it ignores them.

@@thedudewhomadethisvideo, the hyperspace ram. Why build a Death Star or steal said plans if the hyperspace ram exists? Just ram a Star Destroyer through Alderaan or ram an X-wing through the Death Star’s reactor. Planet destroyed and Death Star destroyed. The hyperspace ram should not exist. Then, there’s Mark Hamill’s comments about Luke during the promotion of the film. Luke is not Luke, but rather Jake Skywalker.

@@brandonbaggaley2317 no no not the question I asked. You didn’t answer it. How does it relay on the other films too much as you claimed, when the film actively pushes against the past films? Breaking lore means it ignores them.

@@thedudewhomadethisvideo, but it is the eighth entry in the saga and tenth on screen entry in the franchise after The Clone Wars, Rebels, and Rogue One. After nine previous entries, the rules of the universe are solidly established. Breaking lore and going against the past entries to such an extent breaks the suspension of disbelief that is essential in enjoying a movie. Yet, setting the movie in continuity with those previous films establishes a reliance on what came before. Luke's whole tirade about hubris is something that relies on the past. That whole tirade puts the Jedi as a whole down while ignoring how manipulative and cunning Palpatine was.

@@brandonbaggaley2317 yes it’s the 8th entry and breaks the established rules of the lore, so then it doesn’t really rely on the other films right, it may be a follow up and trying to establish itself in that continuity, but it actively pushes against them. Rian did his own thing.

Rian did have full creative control of this film, weird when other directors didn’t get that luxury. But he probably had to revert back to how things were due to Disney is a guess

Yeah wished Rey joined the dark side and Snoke didn't get killed of The training was mostly mininal and just her running obstacle courses.

@@kafukwamekemeh Sure, which calls back to Luke’s swamp run under Yoda but it was a year of training with Leia as her Master. I didn’t care much for Snoke though; was audibly happy when he got cut in half by Kylo.

@@Iwillone I mean the waste of Snoke as a good villain

Yeah, his appearance in The Force Awakens is completely different to how he is in The Last Jedi. At the end of the film he seems to give Rey a sort of knowing look like he was expecting her, but then in The Last Jedi he is completely dismissive of her. Why would there be a map to his location if he intended to die on the island alone? That doesn’t make sense. So it is jarring. It’s why I said it didn’t seem to fit in the trilogy. Watching it as a standalone film it does work I’d say with Luke’s character, but not following The Force Awakens. I’ll make a video on that film at some point. Thank you for watching dude, I appreciate it

Thank you for watching and your very detailed comment, glad you enjoyed my video. I hope as well his trilogy comes out, don’t know if it’s cancelled or anything since we have had no update. He has the Knives Out films he is working on. I do agree though The Last Jedi may not be good as a whole, the risks he took make the film memorable compared to how safe the other films are. Those channels are not good for film criticism or the fandom. They just cause more division and in fighting. I wish they would come to their senses and go away but when you get millions of views for spreading negativity like that you’ll keep doing it to satisfy your audience.

Nothing against the actor, they’re fine; the problem is really the way the trilogy undermines the original story of the original six films and they’re main players I won’t go on for too long but by having the empire and the emperor rising to power again(if they were ever defeated) Luke’s story and that of his friends and comrades is pointless especially when they all meet their in the form of a humiliating defeat. They’re not even effective as mentors: Rey single-handedly triumphs with no help whatsoever from them(I’m not counting the training session Leia gave her as she doesn’t teach her any new or specific skills relevant to the plot)

@KRobinson-ko1ne I agree with you totally. My point still stands, though, that sequel fans don't really have anything to say. I haven't learnt anything new here, I'm not rushing to watch the sequels, and I have Disney +. In contrast, earlier, I watched a video about Anakin. The youtuber told the story beautifully, and at the end, he recommended a book, and I have now ordered that book. He made you feel that there was more to learn.

That is a good point, but I’d say give it a decade or 2. The generation that grew up with the sequels will have more of a nostalgic connection with the characters than those who didn’t. It happened with the prequels, so give it time.

@thedudewhomadethisvideo you're talking like the sequels are new films. It's been a decade since TFA. Both the OT and PT had been hugely expanded on by this stage. In terms of story, characters, and actors.

@@thedudewhomadethisvideo Hasn't it been like 7 years since Tlj came out it feels like there are less and less people who like it now.

In your headcanon sure

And in George Lucas’s

@@thedudewhomadethisvideo You must divorce yourself from fantasy as if it means something important in your life. Secondly, this trilogy is not worth anyone's time. Life is far too precious for dysfunctional fiction to use up your time.

Sure loves and serves Jesus Christ I will take your very unsolicited advice about divorcing one’s self from fantasy, because you clearly don’t devote your life to it. You should give that advice to those reactionary channels, they really need it. This is just a hobby it’s not my life

To me, the full Star Wars canon is Episodes 4-8 and the first 2 seasons of The Mandalorian. That's it.

Thank you for watching. I do recall that yeah he was only going back to care for Rey, even though he helped them I guess he wasn’t won over by staying. I still wish he had a better character arc in The Last Jedi because it does seem to be a sort of repeat of The Force Awakens. Shame as well he never met Kylo again after their fight.

@@thedudewhomadethisvideo I agree with you, I don't mind the whole Canto Bight thing, but it's just vastly less interesting compared to the actual main plot. Well at least this movie gave Finn his own arc and story, unlike the next one...

@@chefkochkawasaki4127 Funny enough, both you and @thedudwhomadethisvideo probably didn't know, but John Boyega HATED his story in TLJ, as he came out with everything that happened behind the scenes and how he, and other POC actors got shafted. He had to fight just to keep his character in the movie and they barely did anything with him. With all of the faults RoS did with him, he still prefers that over Finn's story in TLJ.

Yeah I saw he said that, he tends to do that in his films. His response to the criticism didn’t help things either. I like certain choices he made, but not others. So much potential. Thank you for watching dude

I don’t think he did I do believe he wanted to do something ambitious but had to work within JJs mystery box approach and he didn’t quit know what. It’s obvious that he tried a lot of different ideas on set but ran out of time and money and had to piece together what he had This meant that he couldn’t reveal the truth of any encompassing plot points and had to wait for the third movie This is why Snoke dies without a name. This is why we learn nothing about the first order itself and get these self contained subplots with holdo and Cantobite. This is also why Rey is a nobody: they needed an “I am your father moment” but the only retractable answer(necessary depending on what the following filmmaker wanted to do) was she’s “nothing”. I know it seems ridiculous watching the whole trilogy through and I’m not disagreeing but the truth is JJ didn’t want to reveal the truth of Rey’s lineage till the end of the trilogy, assuming people would still be curious or at least the sunk cost fallacy would kick in The plan was to have a character like Kylo Ren who could very well have a motive for lying. Not to mention we don’t see Rey’s parents in the cave scene nor do we learn her surname

@@KRobinson-ko1ne Actually, Rian Johnson admitted to wanting to make a controversial film on purpose during an interview.

@@KRobinson-ko1ne He said he wanted to make a controversial film during an interview.

Thanks dude, yeah they had there moments, all 3 films did but do feel like a huge missed opportunity. Rian Johnson is enemy number 1 in the Fandom Menace everything he does, they scrutinise I have seen. His response to it didn’t help things but they take it to what he has done outside of Star Wars too.

You’re think about the B-Wing? No those are more resilient Either way it’s not so much that the bombers were weak but the context: if the republic is or at least was in charge why are they left with those shitty bombers? But the real problem was that we are expected to view Poe as a nuisance but at the same time Paige as a hero and it’s just an inconsistent mess

the republic wasn't in charge because the re was no republic anymore @@KRobinson-ko1ne

There was no republic anymore for less than a day If Poe is still technically part of the Republic Fleet then they logically should have better ships Either way the republic being null en void after a single laser blast is a huge undermining of the original story: it means said republic wasn’t much to begin with and the rebellion was for naught

Solo’s sequels mainly got canned because the film bombed at the box office, but yeah the mixed reception to The Last Jedi I am sure did impact it. But it’s a shame Star Wars is now really just on TV as opposed to a feature film.

The solo sequels because they failed to even make the budget back They went over budget because Kathy Kennedy announced multiple projects at once with no story or direction and just let multiple filmmakers run wild Of course, with solo she paid the price: she finally saw the 90% of the film that was shot and it didn’t suit her. She then had to hire Ron Howard to shoot it from scratch. They didn’t have any confidence in this film which is why they released in May instead of December and of course they couldn’t simply say, on a public platform, that they were wreckless(not in front of their shareholders)

I think when talking about The Last Jedi in retrospect you need to mention them, the film did practically birth them and they are really annoying channels yes. Thank you for watching

You're right. Righteous Indignation only belongs in space operas, where characters go on side-quests to voice concerns about war profiteering and animal abuse. This is the only scenario where Righteous Indignation is acceptable. On youtube, it isn't.

Thank you :)

I don't know if you watched the video the whole way through, but how exactly did the film get the manga when it's thematically completely different? It makes sense culturally, but not outside of Japan hence why Park Chan-wook changed it for the better.

I don’t recall them ever giving a reason as to why she was picked and hypnotised, I re-read the manga for this video and took notes about what happened in each volume. If you find a reason let me know and what chapter it’s in, but I don’t believe there is one. The waitress doesn’t actually die in the end since Goto is with her while she is in a bed unconscious, after she jumps. So it’s a sort of be continued open ended ending. Thank you for watching though dude

Yeah I agree, it also makes him more isolated and alone. In the manga him being kidnapped the day before he gets married doesn’t really amount to anything with the ex fiancée

@@thedudewhomadethisvideo yea the movie built on the conflict and you learn who the character is.

That’s why Stephen King hated it

Korean cinema and Korean media as a whole has had a huge international surge over the past decade or so. Parasite's best picture win just cemented it for Korean cinema as a whole, then there is the success of Squid Game on Netflix for Korean TV and of course the huge popularity of K-Pop primarily BTS. But yes lot's gems in Korean cinema.

How about the film itself? I get you about the culture, for Oldboy is considered like a gateway film for people just getting into film to explore movies outside of Hollywood and those types of people can be annoying.

Thanks a lot dude, I am planning on doing some more adaptation comparisons in the future, have to wait and see haha

Thanks Owen Wilson

You are speculating, you don’t know if nobody cared. I mean Park Chan-wook cared enough to adapt it, he saw the potential in the story. Your point about Shakespeare as well I am not understanding. The film is still an adaptation of the source material, if no one cared or not is irrelevant.

@@thedudewhomadethisvideo shakespeare didn't come up with any of the plots featured in his plays. they were all taken from other stories contemporary to his time. but we remember only his plays. this focus on plot lifted from another source is inherently misleading. again, no one cares about the source material because it doesn't tell you anything about the work in question or the reactions it has garnered over the years. imagine this scenario: someone makes a modern movie about some obscure german fairy tale. it's an arthouse film that wins all the artsy movie awards and people say it's a masterpiece of filmmaking and all that stuff. only the most droll analysis will touch on the source material, wouldn't you agree?

@@jp-sn6si no I don’t agree, I think it’s worth pointing it out. In this video you know I say many times that I think Oldboy is a masterpiece and the changes Park Chan-wook made really elevated the story, from the manga which I find mediocre and disappointing. So the point was to show how he adapted it, the changes he made both in the story, thematically and culturally as well. If you looking at it as a film, yes it is a masterpiece but as an adaptation it’s bad. You need to take the source material in to account, you can’t just ignore where the inspiration came from.

I guess that’s why Stephen King hated it

To a point where he made his own version . No one really talks about it though .

Well there is lots of different ways you can interpret what a good adaptation is. I mean yes books, manga comics use a completely different language to film. Lots of book readers will say how the book is always better than the film adaptation. I kind of judge it on if the film is thematically like the source material, in which the authors original intent is still there in the film adaptation. Yes it won’t follow the source material beat for beat but it will still keep the important plot points from the source material. In the case of Oldboy you also need to take the cultural context in to account as well. If you are a fan of the manga and watch the film adaptation you will probably be completely bewildered with how different it is and how thematically it is not the same. Oldboy is a masterpiece and it is far better than the source material in my opinion. But yeah as an adaptation it does fail in that regard, even though it still keeps plot points from the manga, it just uses them in a different context.

@@thedudewhomadethisvideoBut you already pointed out the important plot points are the same, - O' Deau-Su was imprisoned, - he was on his way to investigate who imprisoned him - he fight and kill his way to get revenge... and so on so you are complaining because you got too attached to the manga, and the adaptation is not the way you wanted. Guess what, Jurassic Park was NOT how the book was written, GODFATHER was NOT how the book was written, FIGHTCLUB was NOT how the book was written... but they work, that's GOOD "Adaptation"

@@ashesfrombones ‘attached to the manga’? Really you completely misunderstood what I said. Listen, I watched the film long before I read the manga, I found the manga disappointing. I am comparing them objectively, I do not think the manga in anyway shape of form is better than the film and I do not think the film is bad. It’s a masterpiece, one of my favourite films of all time, but if you are looking at it as a sole adaptation of the source material that keeps all the themes and important plot points from the manga then it’s a bad adaptation. This video is me looking at it through that train of thought, because I find it interesting how Park Chan-wook changed the themes of the source material to best suit his style and for a Korean audience. What he kept from the manga is yes he is imprisoned and let out, he meets a woman on his first night out and he kept the hypnotising stuff but uses it in a different way. That’s it, everything else is different, the context is different, the way the characters act are different and the reason is different. Did I ever say that was a bad thing? No, I am looking at it from an adaption point of view, because it’s interesting and lots of other people did too.

Thank you dude, I am glad you liked it :) I have seen some of your videos too, they keep getting recommended to me.

Don’t cry when someone sings a song

@@thedudewhomadethisvideo mang that some f up logic At least the movie made more senses

Yes that was a slight mistake on my behalf, he thinks his daughter is in Sweden. But you clearly didn’t watch the rest of the video after that bit because I go through the whole film.

@@thedudewhomadethisvideo Yeah I wasn't gonna keep watching after that lol

@@daboos6353 well you should’ve, it’s just ironic you accuse me of not watching the film when you didn’t even finish the video. Come on dude, finish before making a reactionary comment because it just makes you look dumb

@@thedudewhomadethisvideo hahahaha womp womp

@@daboos6353 cringe

Thanks a lot dude. I do think that a film doesn’t need to faithful to the story as long as the film is good and the changes are meaningful, which Oldboy is.

Clearly didn’t watch or understand the video

I thought the movie was overrated

I vehemently disagree. If you turn a comedy into a great horror story, you've made a great horror story, but everyone who goes to see it to see a comedy will be, bewildered, to say the least.

Thanks a lot dude, more videos coming soon :) it’s the music from Life of Pi

Thank you dude :)

Only by name yes, but there are similar narrative beats in it. Still yes vastly different

Oh yes slight oversight on my behalf, I recall the scene where they look for her and see she is apparently been adopted by a family in Sweden. I called it a terrible adaptation because it really is if it’s trying to adapt the manga and made that point at the end of the video that does it really matter as long as the film is great. But I made the video because I feel like it’s worth pointing out, when many films get criticised for taking liberties with the source material. As for your last point, it’s a quote directly taken from that essay and that is how he spells it. There is nothing ‘culturally appropriating’ about it because I didn’t write it. Cultural appropriation is also a concept created by Americas who have probably never been out of the country and want to be offended on behalf people from another culture, when they themselves do not care and even appreciate the fact that you appreciate their culture. I mean you could even say that Park Chan-wook was appropriating Japanese culture by adapting this story for a Korean audience, he even did the same with The Handmaiden, appropriating the fingersmith which is a British novel. How dare he appropriate my culture! I really can’t take you seriously if you unironically use that saying, because it has no basis in reality.

It is a terrible adaptation, that's what makes it great

Thank you for the correction dude, wasn’t aware and I appreciate the feedback :)

Thanks a lot, I have noticed haha. It’s my most successful video now and it is spilling out in to my other videos, so ai also hope check them out too.

Park Chan-wook’s adaptation really realised the full potential of the story

No, it f-ing isn't. What are you smoking? I think I only read the first volume back in the day but I don't recall it being bad, that's BS.

Just because you liked the movie doesn't mean the manga was bad stop trying to justify

Thanks a lot dude, more video coming soon and thank you for subscribing!

Thanks a lot dude, the support is greatly appreciated and I am glad you got value out of the video. More videos coming soon
