Interventionism sounds much better than vigilantism! What is the difference?

This movie is phenomenal and still more relevant in today's era.

Casablanca is outstanding & one of the best movies! Thank you for this programme! 😅

Thats NOT a photo of Bela Lugosi as Dracula. Its Lugosi in MGM's 'Mark of The Vampire'

I love the irony that two forms of cinema, Italian Neo-Realism and German Expressionism, from countries in the Triad forces helped shape an American cinematic genre that REFLECTED the darkness of WW2, it's strange to think really....

Sir please come back to finish the series!

Emotional contagion - close up - entire world of emotion - changes way you feel through close up

It's usually pronounced Kur-teez.

Propaganda? Absolutely! Even more, though, a romantic love story.

A fedora hat, a V8, and a Tommy Gun. That's me.

So, it's pro-war if it agrees with the purpose of the fighting. And it's anti-war if it doesn't agree with fighting. I think most people watch war films for the action.

One of the cool nuggets about this movie is the brief shot of the great Raymond Chandler sitting outside Neff"s office. If you blink, you'll miss it

11:29 inspired the Be Prepared scene of the marching hyenas in The Lion King.

There's absolutely NO WAY that Birth of a Nation was Hollywood's first motion picture. The first Hollywood film was made in 1910 -- half a decade before!

i thought it was a love story...

What saddens me is the relative short life of Bogart. He died 13 years from cancer after this film. This script and cast are as rare as finding gold. You yearn to see Bogart in another Casablanca, but masterpieces are elusive. It's more than 80 years, but there's never been another actor of with Bogart's ability to deliver lines with utter sincerity.

The stunt at the end of the car chase where Tony crashes himself and the assassins off a 15-foot drop must have been ridiculously dangerous to film at the time. Badass.

I really enjoyed that. And I think you nailed it. Double Indemnity wasn’t the first Noir classic, but it was the one that cemented a style of movie making and set a benchmark for others to follow, which would later be identified as Film Noir. The one that people could point to as exhibit A when asked the question, “What is Film Noir?” I certainly think of Noir as a genre and among my favourites, along with Neo Noir. When my mum was young she worked in a jazz club, where she met my dad, and she raised me on classic Hollywood of the 1940’s & 50’s, with particular reference to her favourites (musicals) and mine, which were always Noir. I was the only kid in my class who knew the names of all the actors, writers, producers and directors of that era, up to the day, which was the 1970’s. My mum had a lot of undiagnosed mental health issues but she was a fiercely intelligent and articulate person. Now, in my mid 50’s I still love Noir best and think fondly back to the days when I could truly communicate with her about something other than depressing topics. It was my way of reaching her. My dad was all about the westerns mostly. And he was as taciturn as a western hero. But the axis upon which all our tastes converged was Film Noir. Looking back now, I realise that the real pleasure of those movies was so very different to the pleasure I derive from them now. My memories are of us all chattering throughout about Hollywood mythos, the stories of how they made the features, Raymond Chandler’s drinking habits, James M Cain’s attendance of the trial that inspired his novel, Billy Wilder’s arguments with the studio, production team and cast, or the fact that Edward G Robinson could speak seven languages fluently. It was only after I moved out that I followed the films closely and without interruption. This video just brought back a flood of memories for me. Thank you.

Citizen Kane is an empty shell. The characters in Citizen Kane are two-dimensional. Does anybody watch the movie because they care about any of the characters? Susan Alexander Kane is a broken woman. Does anybody care? All the card-board-cutout characters serve only as objects of contempt. His cardboard cutout of Kane, however, does warn us that a fascist cult of personality could happen in the US. I'll grant Welles that.

The image of Xanadu in Citizen Kane pisses me off. Julia Morgan, recognized as the first great female American architect, an architect of the first rank, designed the beautiful San Simeon estate. The cheesy, spook-house gothic horror of Xanadu is an insult to Julia Morgan. It's Orson Welles' lazy, juvenile, contemptible cheap-shot. How dare he? Tells you a lot about the man. His snotty, shallow dishonesty.

Great breakdown thanks. I have a new perspective. Always loved it, but new perspective.

What I like about Snow White of how she treats the Dwarfs like they’re her children which is very sweet and motherly🩵❤️🩷

Eisenstein is such a genius

Maxim DID NOT kill Rebecca. Did you watch? Mrs Danvers finds that he *didn't* (censors would insist on punishment if he did, as in the book). Mrs D refuses them happiness in "Rebecca's" manor.

Film critics rightly give warm praise to almost all of the principal actors in Casablanca...but not one has mentioned Conrad Strasser's performance. I find his Strasser riveting every time he's on screen. Without the sly, cunning, reptilian villainy of Veidt's superb Strasser, it wouldn't work. Why am I the only one to notice?

Did you get Peter Lawford's grandson to do the narration?

Ah the good time of american propaganda, before the KGB total domination and the downfall of america.

I have to see SCARFACE 1932 version 😊

thanks for such a detailed description

A certain Hershel Gordon Lewis would dispute the statement made at 7:55.

I am genuinely so happy to have found this film today... I’ve been imagining it forever since hearing Herzog talk about it, it exceeds expectations.

Cool channel, subbed - Soy Cuba imo is a (maybe not better but) cooler propaganda film than Casablanca though.

Herzog talks about the first film he ever watched and describes this film - makes sense huh?

WHY do people keep saying 'Mandalay' when discussing Rebecca ? It is 'Manderley' not Mandalay.

I’m conservative college student and I believe America still is the arsenal of democracy as Roosevelt (democrat) defined it and we cannot sit on the sidelines and commit half-heartedly while Russia annexes Ukraine-a sovereign country with its own identity. I am going to show this video to my fellow conservatives who are anti-interventionism. As a side note, I am also pro-Israel AND pro-Gazan, but I am ANTI-Hamas. They a terrorists who are using their own innocent people as shields for their attacks. DO NOT hate people, hate the corrupt governments; Putin and Hamas got to go. With that patriotic fervor out of the way, I truly desire peace and hope the US and the rest of NATO can do the job without drawing us back into the middle east or another European conflict. I pray for wisdom for the world’s leaders and pray for the protection of all the soldiers and civilians on the battlefields.

My favorite movie .

Im absolutely in love with Brannagh's hamlet

The thing about this movie is that it isn’t strictly anti or pro war. It shows war as it is. War’s negatives outweighs its positives.

Errol Leslie Thompson Flynn is the one and only Robin hood. No one before or after will ever surpass baron Flynn. Rip legend. Stephen King.

I just realized that Tony being enamored by the first machine gun attempt on his life gets referenced in Lord of War 2005 when Nicolas Cage's character witnesses an attempted mob hit that inspires him to go into arms dealing

Phyllis, lest we forget, is a serial killer. She killed her present husband's wife by leaving the windows open in the cold. Who knows how many others she killed or would kill.

A box office failure?!?! Because Hearst made damned sure of it

it was my favorite movie as a child. I watched it on VHS over and over again. I know every scene, my favorites were the steps up the Richeliesta steps and the Cossack corps.

Great break down and analysis of the film’s meaning, also very clever to explain its historic filmic significance , thanks

Thank you this great video. 😁😘🫠🫠😁😘😘😄😆😄😘😆😁😘😆😉😜😆😉😆🤪😉😆🤪🤪😉😆🤪😉😆😉😆🤪😆🤪😉😜😆🫠😁😄😘😃😁😘😁😜🫠😁😜🫠😁😜🫠😜🫠😁😁😜🫠🫠😜😁 fyfyfuug u g7cg7gc

Dumas is my favorite author!

This deserves way more views

Romancing the Stone?

Originally I was against having Noir as a genre but now I kind of think it should be considered one. Repeating character types like the detective and femme fatale, the dark and claustrophobic imagery, and repeated themes of "bad things can happen to good people" solidifies it as a genre.

All I get is a black screen. I’m not sure I understand the takeaway from that message….
