Rock = greed

sounds good to me

How would a YouTube video essayist analyze a film like Intolerance (1916)?

>skirts over everything important and only focuses on how sexist it is

Did the rock float? For some reason I don't remember it floating but I've been told that it floated during the flood scene

>soi
basedboys are intelligent though. it's obese/skinnyfat/skeletal red neckbeard Yas Forums retards and chanbrains who are stupid, the only difference is they're pathologically insecure and ashamed of themselves so they probably don't take selfies (or leave the house) in the first place, let alone doing soiface

Rock is Felsen. Stein is Stone.

Woah I never knew Home Alone was so evil

>the sets are really big
>the director was racist

okay bro

I put these on sometimes for white noise. Mainly when cooking. I like hearing peoples different takes on things.

It sucks. Watch Gone with the Wind instead

Just cool it with your antisemitic remarks

literally every "video essay"

>symbolism
"We can express our feelings regarding the world around us either by poetic or by descriptive means. I prefer to express myself metaphorically. Let me stress: metaphorically, not symbolically. A symbol contains within itself a definite meaning, certain intellectual formula, while metaphor is an image. An image possessing the same distinguishing features as the world it represents. An image — as opposed to a symbol — is indefinite in meaning. One cannot speak of the infinite world by applying tools that are definite and finite. We can analyse the formula that constitutes a symbol, while metaphor is a being-within-itself, it's a monomial. It falls apart at any attempt of touching it." -Tarkovsky

Fricken epic! Can't wait to tell Yas Forums about this!

Why is everyone so insecure, shitting on a film essay simply for exploring a subset of storytelling?

This. They can also be a good place to find interesting primary sources if they reference their research - but the video essay genre got majorly oversaturated when every arts school dropout realised they could get 100,000 views with a basic bitch analysis and a clickbait title

He's right. Symbols are gay as fuck when used in art, and looking at art solely through the lens of symbolism is limiting, at least compared to looking at through metaphor

ambiguity is for 2deep4u hack faggots who don't have a satisfying answer for the question they're asking (see: david lynch)

In theory, they can be interesting, but all the ones I've seen are literally . Sometimes it's a chick instead of a soi though

go to be, renegadecut

also
>i can't invent my own symbols, i have to use already existing ones
also
>a symbol can't have multiple meanings

because it's basic bitch shit that doesn't deserve the attention/ad revenue it receives and is disability access for retards

The point of a symbol is that it's universally (or at least somewhat universally) recognized. If you make your own that have multiple meanings, then you're working with metaphors

Koreans can't make art, only entertainment.

the one OP is referencing isn't though...it's pretty focused and structured. Well made. I agree though, a lot of video essays are just meandering nonsense.

You're so cringe it actually hurts

What's the worst video essay you've seen

But I don't read.

I'll just leave this here.

anything by SchafrillasProductions

Well to you maybe but the average person might not be too well-read on storytelling. Your post reeks of insecurity and envy.

>that Sanic
???

A symbol is a metaphor. A metaphor has no special meaning when applied to movies. There's no reason something new can't be a symbol. After all, someone had to be the first one to use it.

If they really cared they'd read textbooks instead of fraudulent film essayists

Not as bad as Renegade Cuck

parasite is the most overrated piece of trash ever made and critics should be ashamed it won ANY awards

I'm not envious of those channels or the people behind them. I wouldn't want to be a pseud retard making trash that appeals to the lowest common denominator. Would I like a successful YouTube channel? Sure. But I'd like it to be based off of content I'm proud of. And I don't think that'll ever happen. I'm certainly not trying.

A symbol is a type of metaphor, at least when looking at the terms as they apply to film
>There's no reason something new can't be a symbol
Because it isn't established as a symbol, so it'd be a metaphor

God fucking damnit.
I like Lessons From the Screenplay, Just Write, and Now You See It.
But I fucking despise how after a movie gets acclaimed they feel the need to do a fucking child's interpretation of le popular movie. Make videos about movies you like you (literal) faggot.

>hey we're gonna talk about intolerance
>*jumpcut with zoom in on face*
>I BET YOU*RE HAPPY WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT A CERTAIN OTHER MOVIE EH
>*makes a skeptical soiface*
>*lo-fi hip-hop beat starts playing*
>though he is a very problematic director...

It's so metaphorical

[EXPLAINED]
[LESSONS]
[ENDING]

these words attract normalfags like shit attracts flies

Not to mention the only point they try to put forth is either one that's been done to death by others or the essayist clearly trying to project his own beliefs onto a film that has nothing to do with it

You seem to take that interpretation for granite.

Wasnt the rock just giving them good luck? And once the boy lost it their luck immediately ran out
