Everything GREAT About Kong: Skull Island!

thanks to audible for sponsoring today's video, anything cool about Kong Skull Island, WWII, dogfighting sounds, styles, logos, anything that reminds me of Megamind is clearly a win, so obviously they looked at photos Younger by John C Reilly, but just so you know, they hit the nail on the head. his nose, this is him when he was younger, with Dutch leanings that make us feel out of place with our new friends, one of my favorite winds, were reflections of crucial things in his eyes and other surfaces. I feel like Jordan vogt-roberts connects the latest Georgian Jordan. Jordan could have a solid grasp of cinematic language and the courage to hold back a little while still charming his audience and a quick three-minute cold open that establishes the

island

as one of our main characters and Kong, I suppose, is also a main character.

The color grading and lighting prepare your brain for the Skull Island feel, it all ends in this brushstroke title card that sticks with the kaiju naver's Skull Island, opening with dates mixed in the credits and newspaper clippings that move us forward from 1944 to 1973. Henry Jackman always wins, too. he created a beautiful foreboding score, listen to that, but why is it a familiar feeling if I only watch this movie too many times? Either way, they should be pieces of the Godzilla 14 score with fewer horns and more awkward strings of discovery. Also, Elfman's Hulk score has a different tempo and is one of my favorite scores anyway.

Also, there are no woodwinds, the low aspect ratio changes just before it starts to fade out. Enter 1973. The central frame is focused so that your eyes barely notice the edges of the screen moving, which leads us to a more modern anamorphic lining. With the grain slowly dissipating as we round the top of the cab towards Bill's face, there will never be a more fucked up moment in Washington, poor, poor unfortunate soul, you can't even imagine the Robot Wars that are coming to the ranks of the monarchs there with a search for extraterrestrial life, yes, but those guys are not excused, they talk about a visualization of obsession and loss of purpose, the guy sits there all night looking at his medals, he feels that the White Rabbit is always a victory, Can we establish that it was a trick by the White Rabbit?

It's ultimately about drug use, but the song's hallucinations and crescendo are

great

choices for our second fantasy sequence. It's going to die, rain, heat, mod, disease-carrying flies and mosquitoes, you're not wrong. I mean, I haven't even started on the things that want to eat you alive, just more of those than the previous 14, so the real surprise is that Jerry here is an immortal. Being the one who has been pulling the strings behind Monarch for decades, he then changes his name to Sam and gets a little more involved. Happy Conk Shadow, so I think I vaguely see a fish

skull

with both eyes looking to the right, but I can't be there. the only one who sees the huge troll head, the guy's face with missing teeth, where is the real

skull

? the image that spawned a thousand loci Carol Danvers Fanfictions I guess chilling out on the boat montage is the quickest way to Sam Jackson's antihero walk hard, now you have a day, you know, it seems like there are too many helicopters to fit in that ship, but I heard from a reliable source that the ship is made of helicopters, just fixing the problems I'm starting to think.

Jordan has feelings for Icarus, why else would Marlowe have fallen from the sun? Not only is the celebration of flying through the mountains over the ocean, seeing the authors some kind of crazy wide angle lens and a big shadowy bug so brutal and a totally unique surprise, but I love the way it's set up this scene. There are story beats that we, the audience, have come to expect after watching thousands of movies. The conflict in this act was the storm. This is our tense moment even though they got over it now that we're on the

island

.

The helicopters are landing, now we can see them working and we feel like we can take a breath. The explosions add a touch of unease, especially this one right before the tree because we are shown fauna being killed during a study and then Black Sabbath is perfect. Complicated but perfectly appropriate paranoid cuts to the actual conflict also begin by showing us the animals right in front of the tree and introduce us to Kong as an antihero who immediately left the humans alone until they started killing his little friends, a crazy place for a shot. long and sells this first encounter in a way that, coming and going, wouldn't we experience madness with the condemned soldiers that a match cuts to allude to a human eating Kong?

I didn't say subtly lewd but subtle isn't really a word. You want to be used in your Kong movie anyway, look at that shot, it's like a mock anti Boca since Kong is the subject, but in the background and out of focus, that doesn't matter, what matters is the connection that It is established between the audience and the soldiers watching. any living being thirty meters tall would make you cross your eyes and make

everything

blurry not to mention its affinity for standing in front of the sun creating a heat haze around its fur giving it the appearance of a mirage and from what I understand, this is mostly for stylization but it works for the narrative, their will and shadow is cast on their faces too, yeah why are the helicopters flying so close?

They just fly up, but these soldiers immediately went into war mode as ordered by their colonel. be in a similar plane and within range to carry out a mission the guy runs fast the dumb school won't save you you'll still die anti-stormtrooper target let's go with this frame in slow motion the reflections in each other's eyes the monsters exist John Goodman the determination in his face, there are not many men who can deliver a speech about monsters so convincingly, put it aside, intelligent people, convincing others to stop threatening these beasts is like a topic in this universe, oh God, That's brutal, why spiders?

The Kong filmmakers cut the spider pit scene. since 1933 for a reason, maybe it's time to let it go. In fact, I think the change from a multitude of terrifying swarms of insects and arachnids to just one horrible, nightmare fuel spider is a fantastic change. The bamboo-like legs are obviously unique and a credible evolutionary advantage for this species. would be set to hunt prey and its bamboo forests, it's a different kind of horror than the claustrophobia of previous versions of the scene, well, without the tendrils, although Packard moving in is still our villain to come, but there is a statement here about what war does to people what war demands of soldiers apart from this it's not normal the right way to calm down at this time which backward soldiers are not surprised by your unflappable attitude that's how it is because you have to be the leader taking a day of Aadhaar you are ready to go, I am ready to go sir, even before we are informed about your communication style.

Marlow nods that they're fine, this conscientious indifference fighting off a giant squid that eats a few centicles and then drags it away. away for later another day, another helicopter fight followed by a squid fight, okay so this is a dr. Steve Brule's rules for your health or Kannada segment had a similar saying on the back of his jacket. They both win and what happens to the water we win. Which one makes sense? Yes, I feel like it burned humanity, but I call them skull crawlers, why? Because it sounds good. At this point I realized that I had been writing skinwalkers in my script notes, which I urge you not to Google.

Skull Crawler makes more sense as a combination of the first faceless angel from Evangelion x and Q has a little visual rhyme here with the Skull Walker skin. The trackers trying to sneak up on Kong just like the Vietnamese loser of the group tried to sneak up on Conrad was the last of its time, but it's still growing tomorrow, a way to leave the door open for some growth in the next 47 years. so it can be at least it's in the same ballpark as 300 feet more Godzilla's name is the gray fox but of course it's you Frank Yeager cyborg ninja love and war are no reason to end a friendship, son of a, so she has the power of Captain Marvel, although I think looking at that scale it's probably a good idea to leave the love story in the past, yes there is a teddy bear cover, an adult tiger can eat a teddy bear, honestly the enemy doesn't exists, are you looking for it sometimes, even if you are an idiot?

They still leave feeling bad about a mistake again. I spent way too much time confirming this, but from what I understand, Indonesia, where Skull Island is roughly located at least as of 1933, while not the best place to see the Southern Lights or the Aurora Australis, is your cup of tea. I could probably watch them and who cares this is awesome it's funny after the trailers if someone had asked you who you think you'd care about the most I wouldn't have said john c reilly but again I'm an idiot I mean let's be honest None of us really want to watch a Vietnam era movie with no credibility, it just feels bad, good group of guys, I'll tell you, okay, I got it.

Jeremiah Johnson feels when they entered the ship that it was sacred ground and I chuckled. the question about who won the war because, by the way, Jeremiah, my son's middle name, asks who won the Mexican-American War, but this helps me get over the nono point instead of around, although it guides Jeremiah and his family slightly differently. I know it's scary, but with Nick Fury Loki, Captain Marvel, and Corpsman all fighting together, what chance do skull whisperers really have? Oh wait, Corey Hawkins was a navy Abin Iron Man 3 and Shea Whigham was a shield agent, weren't you tracking?

Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch and Godzilla 14 Randa was a man who also appreciated a good reflection, since he must have seen the vine with skulls on it in the flash glass, obviously, Loki will automatically be good with a sword, but come on, this one is the kind of speed ramp madness that I'm going to love, but if you're here for the monsters, that little twelve year old in you is lighting up and doesn't want to cut up evil dinosaur birds with a WWII katana and Slow motion wearing a gas mask saving your two new friends, but then test these weapons hard enough to kill him.

Let's talk about this not very significant but well-constructed twist that once again reveals Mr. Glass is the bad guy. It's not quite as simple this time, but one of the first interactions we see Packard have is with Chapman. What are you going to do when you return to the world? Jatin. Oh, I'm all set with Eastern Airlines Racing Billy. They all moved to Atlanta just waiting for me. Chapman's response makes it personal by mentioning the names of his family without qualifiers, but all Packard meant was what our soldier is supposed to do when they are not at war.

Then, throughout the movie, we enable every decision Packard makes. relying on a conversation believing that at least it's mostly about Chapman to the boy, that you may even begin to believe that he must be alive, but now his motives are revealed, he wants to stay in the war, he needs an enemy and he needs weapons to fight he. He never really had anything to do with Chaplin. He even tells Chapman to stay where he is because the sea stallion has enough ammunition to kill Kong. To be fair, he does mention guns besides Chapman a couple of times.

There's plenty of ammunition in that sea stud. to finish the job disconcerting radio sounds in a dutch tone on Packard to let us know definitively that he's losing the marbles and he hits a thing in the monster's burrs to keep his eyes in the fog yes, even Cole knows that's a disaster, the boys are not scientists and you are not a soldier, you met a skull that climbed on them, you know it's wrong to do some slivko, it's like the only character who gets an ark, but he has one, the only one starts terrified and then you have to tell him. several times to lower the gun how he is making a decision Jolley approaches the boat without expecting it that is useless and infuriating self-sacrifice but hey hey, you tried.

Thanks Cong, thanks for trying something different, something that, as Jordan often likes to say, we haven't seen it before, maybe the tree doesn't finish the fight, but I can't imagine anyone ever asked why Kong would lose the time with the tree since it knocked down the skull-shaped slipper. Alright? How was that a nice sign? They broke their helmets to the rescue. his chains to save the humans this time I, a stormtrooper, aim high, you may be a gentle and thoughtful giant, but he has a little bit of Lenny in him, I wantI mean, she's dead, but the rule of cool applies cut this way to Key West, let's throw a cliche to dodge there.

Because Mills was the first one to say that we should tell it when I see you in the next 48 and then spend the day and also be black in a cast where a lot of people die, which is not only usually a death sentence but historically a first death. sentence, especially since he was very close to the beginning of act 2, hey and cons alive, applies because he's usually already dead. Another connection between Kong and humans in this film is the general hatred of hands for being eaten, hugs, and a twisted emotion of the deer duck. who knew Marlo would end up being the main character after all and she finally got that beer and that hot dog and just had to wait another forty-three years to see the Cubs earn more cave painting credits depicting some of our Titans.

We need a spoiler. Stinger, I know I already did so I can't be too excited but come on, we all thought they wouldn't use them all in the next movie, fun setup, even some dead humans following Ghidorah Jordan vogt-roberts. I could probably make fun of my dog ​​and I'd still be a fan because this is currently our best chance for a quality Metal Gear Solid movie. I mean, man did a subtle homage to the opening of mgs with these narrow aisles and stacked boxes, too Pete. He gets points for his beautiful beard. Clearly, the amount of references in general there are in this movie is quite surprising since Apocalypse.

Now nods here and there to the more tonal references, like fights, which would be at home. And the anime I mentioned influences and brain stalkers, but there are even more references to Miyazaki with the water buffalo who is similar to the spirit and the princess Mononoke, as well as the sword and gun, has both symbols of that knife. He likes all things. I like him, it's hard not to love him and if I don't get a ton of comments saying I'm fawning over Jordan in this video I'll be a little disappointed, to be fair I do the same thing with David F Sandberg recently, I sleep with GU, do you?

TRUE? M Night Shyamalan Sam Raimi, but look, the point is that I love watching movies made by people who are passionate about what they do. You know the type of person who would be willing to defend him publicly. Bad hate, nitpicking, analyzing why something is bad. Faith is not a sign of thin skin, it is a sign of adoration and devotion to creation. Look, if I had to question the decisions in this movie, it would be about these three super weird edits, I'm sure, which is a line from a different cut that they wanted in there, but the background is different my line is completely lost who's talking to that one not my edit and then these are interesting choices if they were deliberate, but my real best guess is that they were very late stage cuts It happens that we also adapted a giant ape to the giant lizard for the tree, but Jordan wasn't the only one who deserved a phrase, you have to give it to John Goodman too, when Walter Sobchak can also use subtle, deadpan humor like this, like Bermuda.

Triangle or like that tinfoil hat I like to wear, it's more like triangles on the hat, but we like to think it's a lot more than that, but there's actually quite a bit of humor in this movie, it's more like a cold war . as if they thought summers off, including something dark by Toby Kebbell, was fantastic on screen and behind Kong's face I already sang Jhansi Reilly's praises, but it's a very important reminder to not judge a book by its cover or by his advance, most people rolled their eyes. When they saw him assuming he would be relegated to comic relief, they were half right, he is the source of a lot of comedy, but his puppy dog ​​eyes and gruff but soft face are the heart of this movie that they barely know, but he is the one. from Packard.

The antithesis became the brother of a man who was his sworn enemy during the war. The consideration of love juxtaposed with the thoughtlessness of Packard and the war. Vietnam is, interestingly, just a backdrop to tell an original story about soldiers and how devastating war can be and this is. I'm not judging a war, even Packard as a colonel, but Packard is no longer following orders, he is not fighting for a cause, he is using his fallen brothers as an excuse to chase a prize for his own personal glory of satisfaction, revenge is part of It would be a pretty bad reason, but it's only secondary to his desire to keep fighting.

Actually, it's something that comes up sometimes. Randa essentially accuses Conrad of the same thing when they first meet, going to war and searching for something. Conrad, if you had found him, you'd be home from time to time. Conrad somehow accepts it after verbalizing to the mythical hero that his father was a war hero. I guess no man comes home from war, probably compared to a man who never actually came home from war and still managed to leave it behind. I started out thinking he would understand a lot about you. You're just making excuses for the king of the monsters in that video because I said the story wasn't the most important.

But hey, how did he agree? I have similar feelings about this movie, not that there wasn't a story because there was and the unraveling of how Packard becomes the real villain in a movie that contains a hundred foot tall Hydra ape is more than just you. I can ask that the easiest legitimate complaint is that there were too few character arcs. Weaver Conrad The towers land practically in the same place where they launched. Marlowe does most of his character growth off-screen, but he still has the most compelling story, but I'll say it again. the visual language of this film is what makes it work and keeps it entertaining.

The 70's callbacks with a constant red and orange rating. Jordan places Kong in front of the moon, sun, or fire whenever he can, including subtle attention to detail such as the collapse of the rotting tree. under the weight of your head, flailing or standing out beyond

everything

, it's the kind of movie I know I wanted as a kid, actors kicking each other's snot in the air is exactly what you want a movie with Kong in the title Kong is back , or perhaps for the first time elevated to mythical status, other incarnations have given us the softer side of Kong with a human/captive love story, but this time he's as a ronin, the last of his kind, just wandering around His world.

Kong gets a purposeful development without saying a single word. glances of recognition at Weaver and Conrad holding hands a judgment of his reflection in the water ripples or gazing at the southern lights how do you think it's interesting that Jordan isn't how Li first shaped the direction of the monster? Would he face Kong? Audiences won't want to see him lose for lack of a better word, humanity, there's a logical progression that I think we're all waiting for in Godzilla vs. Kong, which I hope they don't deviate from just for shock value, looking forward to it. even more so now and if I'm honest I think the worst part about being stuck on an island with locals who don't speak would be the loneliness.
