The Last Jedi - How Comedy Can Kill A Movie

This trial was brought to you by Nord VPN. I'm not calm with DPN / look closer to get 77 percent off and stay tuned to find out why I take internet security so seriously. Needless to say, The Last Jedi has been a tremendously controversial film that many have had. praised its boldness in going somewhere new for the franchise, while many others have criticized its inconsistent characters, sloppy story structure, and dry floor, but when I first saw this

movie

it had a quality that, above all, Everything caught my attention. and to some extent it ruined my initial viewing experience, it's a flaw that almost no one has been talking about, but in my opinion it is one of the reasons, if not the most important, why many did not enjoy this film and that floor is the abundance of amateur toilets from this

movie

. and what a bathroom is, well, this bathroom is in simple terms is when in an otherwise serious scene, suddenly, out of nowhere and without warning, there is an exaggerated joke, it is now an objective fact that this film is full of pathos.

Johnson routinely, while in the middle of a serious scene, spins that serious scene on its head to create a cheap laugh; for example, at the beginning there is a conversation in which the capes and pillars argue about what they want to do next, since that they have a window where they can either evacuate everyone and not lose a single life or they can take the opportunity to eliminate an incredibly powerful warship but in doing so losing many ships and dozens of lives is a pretty serious dilemma and in the conversation they make a great job making the audience feel the seriousness of that choice, but three seconds after that incredibly bleak conversation ends, this happens.

This joke is horrible. This is a terrible use of

comedy

. The quality of this joke isn't the reason it's terrible

comedy

, but because this is the worst time. could have a moment of levity because that serious tone that the previous few lines of dialogue established so well is almost immediately shattered by this humor now that it's just one example in a movie that has a serious bathroom problem and I could list all the examples . all day, but the problem with this movie's comedy is much bigger than a few out-of-place jokes. The Last Jedi is a totally Frankenstein movie and what do I mean by that?

Well, one of the key jobs of movie releases is to establish exactly what kind of story it's going to be and included in that is the tone of the story so this movie starts off with a great degree of levity The PO joke calls the general and makes him look like a complete buffoon now there are many who think that This humor was not well done because it turned a previously threatening character into one that is almost a total joke, but nevertheless, this is a moment that is played very clearly from the laughter suggesting to the viewer that this is going to be a very light moment.

A very sincere film and there would have been nothing wrong with that if it had decided that way, but then there is the fight scene where they destroy the Dreadnought and the tone of this scene is the polar opposite of what they established in the opening of the movie. This scene in the movie has an incredibly dark tone: life after life is lost in a sequence that plays to make the audience feel the death of all those characters and then you have Leia looking at the death toll and mourning the loss of so many from them. his men is a very somber scene and then you have Finn stumbling around with water pouring out of him in a moment that is played very clearly to make the audience laugh.

Those create two choices that are strange to say the least, the movie is simultaneously. Trying to create a strong fear and at the same time trying to make us laugh again and again as if this movie were a light-hearted comedy. This back and forth from being serious to being lighthearted happens over and over again throughout the entire duration of this film and makes for a very jarring viewing experience, if this film had gone for an all gritty tone with little humor like Revenge did. of the Sith, that could have worked or if they had gone for a lighthearted wonder, it didn't take itself too seriously and had a comedic line. after a comedic line that could have also worked and both alternatives would have been preferable to what we got because The Last Jedi is a movie that tries to have its cake and eat it, tries to be both a funny comedy and a very dark movie. and combines the two with the eloquent grace of a flying slug.

Now I wouldn't suggest that comedy in an otherwise bleak film is a problem because sometimes when done well it can really work and I think I'll find a good example of humor used. That way, we don't need to look any further than Saving Private Ryan, there's a scene right before the big climactic fight where Ryan tells a funny story about his brothers and laughs while he does it and in doing so makes the other guy laugh too. public. he starts to come after, but at the same time Alice is there unconscious, he has to wake her up now even though this is a very dark movie, this funny moment works now from a technical point of view, this is not bathroom because pathos is when It changes from fun.

Going serious is instantaneous and this example is much more gradual. It's a funny moment about five minutes before the horrible fight starts, but it's a wonderful moment and I think studying this scene and why it's a good use of comedy is a great way. understand how to properly use comedy in a non-comedy film. The reason this works is because this moment is real. This is a film dedicated to capturing the brutal reality or what it is like to be in a war and in real life. Exactly what people do when faced with truly terrifying situations: it is normal and a sign of a healthy human mind to use comedy as a coping mechanism to escape the brutal reality for a few moments and immerse yourself in something as moving and enjoyable as a fun movie. story and then the audience gets depressed and what smiles they can have.

Arctic stops doubting when Ryan finishes the story and the characters plummet back into reality. Ryan told that story for a very decided in-character reason that fits with the rest of the movie and Leia cleverly responded to c-3po because the director wanted to include another funny line now, obviously, this is not true for all uses of the comedy, as there are some examples of comedy and even effective bathrooms used in non-comedy situations. movies that don't adhere to this realism come back to Django Unchained when he shoots that woman and she fries around the room in a ridiculously unrealistic way, there's nothing real in that moment, the reason this bathroom in Django Unchained works It is because from the very beginning of the film it has been very unrealistic from a stylistic point of view, in the traditional Tarantino style, the entire film has an almost jovial tone, although there are some exceptions, such as when Mr.

Candie has the monologue from him, but from the beginning the audience knows that this is a film that doesn't take itself too seriously. Why do these two examples of comedy in a serious movie work? Because they in no way compromise the audience's investment in the film and that's exactly what it boils down to. The reason a bad bath time is simply because it breaks the audience's investment in the narrative. If pathos is used, then it doesn't break the viewers' investment, which could be said to be a good bath time again. While it's no nonsense in Saving Private Ryan, the fun story not only serves to provide comedy, but also makes us care about the two characters even more as it humanizes them, making the next scene in the that their lives are in danger is even more exciting.

Django the movie is/is in its epilogue at this point the main villain is dead and the plot has been resolved the audience leans forward waiting for the credits to roll and for Django to get his final revenge the purpose of this scene is to provide that catharsis ending where all the bad guys die, so when Miss Laura flies away in an unrealistic way, it enhances the scene and is also unexpected, it is also satisfying since in the final moments of the much hated character, she is humiliated and loses her dignity . losing his life and because there is no real tension or dramatic reversal in the scene, since we all know exactly how everything will end, this bath has nothing to compromise, however, these qualities stay in tune with the rest of the film and not compromising viewers' investment in the narrative is not possessed by the overwhelming majority of bath moments in The Last Jedi.

Now there are a lot of examples of out of place comedy in this movie, if you ask me, the really inexcusable ones are towards the end when it's the final confrontation. with Snoke, so when Rey is captured and brought to Stokes' chambers, this palpably sinister and terrifying music plays as the scene unfolds and offers the culminating anticipation of films past and the viewer dreads what is about to happen. to happen next and then this happens, welcome This is a really strange editing choice. It is a backwards way of trying to make the viewer feel afraid. This is the climax.

The scene in which the protagonist meets the villain. This is the number one scene you want your audience to really care about. about to feel involved and in this very scene Johnson destroys that fear that his hard-to-achieve job destroys the authenticity of the moment when Jesse is able to make some people laugh as the droid clumsily turns around the corner and crashes into the wall and this is not a There are several moments in the middle of the scene where Johnson creates comedy in a place where comedy simply does not belong. Ray tries to catch a lightsaber that he throws and hits her in the back of the head in an almost comical way.

Kylo stabs a guy, throws him aside, and lands in the blender, sending blood like cloth everywhere in a ridiculously over-the-top fashion. I'm also wondering if that kind of bet sounds familiar, where have we been? Everything seen before, I mean, do you think God came down from heaven and stopped him? This is a very Tarantino-style death and in his films it is a style that works, as I said, it is all part of his consistent style, it just doesn't. I'm not looking for a dark and gruesome tone or even a true sense of realism, that's just not his thing.

You know, when I first saw this joke in the cinema, I remember very vividly that there were two women sitting next to me and they both burst out laughing when they saw Ludacris' death, this is the middle of the climactic fight scene, right? Why on earth did Johnson try to create humor in this moment if in the middle of his otherwise very serious and horror-filled climax, the audience starts laughing? failed as a narrator Johnson doesn't really show a good understanding of how to use the bathrooms properly and there are several rules: Beth owes some solid and unbreakable ones, while others are just guidelines, for example in an over-the-top comedy like the pathos of Thor Ragnarok.

Much less taboo, what if you remember how in the climax, when Bruce Banner completes his Rock persona and is about to show his true heroic colors by transforming into the Hulk to save the day, the audience expects him to triumph, except then his dead corpse Mack life? to the bridge and seemingly dies instantly, while it's a fun moment that severely compromises any kind of emotional resonance his waterfall might have; However, this bathroom in Thor 3 works much better than the bathroom signs in The Last Jedi because Thor Ragnarok is not a movie that takes itself seriously, now there aren't many disappointed by the fact that Thor 3 actually It was just two hours of non-stop banter because it was so different from the previous movies, but still, when this movie starts, it's incredibly done.

Sure this movie is an action comedy where the goal is to make you laugh rather than make you feel like it has a few tries for every move, but 99% of this movie is one crazy joke after another. This is a movie that doesn't take itself seriously, so when this bath happens when Bruce apparently dies prematurely in his moment of triumph, it works and is a good comedic moment in my opinion, the bath can be a funny device, but never, under no circumstances should it be used in a film that attempts it. make the audience genuinely care about their characters, especially when those critical character moments are when loose toilets are used and they get into fights and, as an example, Captain America to the Winter Soldier fits well, the directors knew this one was going to be a dark movie. with very cynical themes and while there are occasional jokes, they are certainly not pathos and it is more so that the characters joke in their free time, it is a spy thriller, so when that moment comes where Steve drops his shield and he refuses to fight Bucky and chooses to die rather than

kill

his old friend.

I really felt that because this movie did a very good job of selling the authenticity of its narrative, in part becauseThey knew it was a movie where comedy doesn't belong, so they used humor very sparingly as they got older. An old saying goes that you try to please everyone, you please no one. Disney clearly wanted this to be the low point of the trilogy, so they added a lot of death and dark moments, but it was also to cater to the family audience that they added a lot of Now it's possible to create a dark movie with moments of humor, but only when handled with great care and only when that humor is a genuine benefit to the narrative and not just in its four moods, and then you have the scene transition where he builds what appears to be a spaceship while ominous music plays that it only reveals that it is a clothes iron.

Now this is a funny moment, but it's not just witty dialogue from the character. This is a parody. An irrefutable parody of a textbook. This is a dark movie. not the stars of Space Bulls or Deadpool is a series that has always opted for those dark undertones, for example when Anakin

kill

s young people or Luke finds his family murdered, this series has always been taken with at least some seriousness, this moment goes totally against everything the Star Wars series has been up to this point, this movie is actively making fun of the fact that it's trying to be serious, you can't have your cake and eat it, you can't have a drama dark and disturbing like Revenge of the Sith and at the same time have a lighthearted comedy like Deadpool In short, to summarize this essay in one sentence, how can audiences take this movie seriously when it refuses to take itself seriously , so today I want to end this video when a note that touches me very closely and that note is Internet safety, there is a story that I have never told anyone where there was a fan of mine, in quotes. who enjoyed my content so much, tracked down who I was in real life, including my name, my date of birth, and several schools I had attended as a child, and fortunately, the address I thought was mine actually didn't. was, which was a huge relief. but when I refused to respond to any of his emails and cut off all communication with him, he wasn't very polite about it;

In fact, what he did was find my IP address, which is not his physical address but rather his virtual address. of your Internet router and attacked it by overwhelming my IP with information that at the time I had no idea what it was, but I quickly learned it as a form of attack called ddossing. This disgruntled fan turned off my internet for two whole weeks, which meant I couldn't play video games, I couldn't watch YouTube, and most importantly, I couldn't do my work, not to mention my provider didn't help me at all. In the end, it was at the point where I had to take the bus to go to the city. going to Starbucks just so I could upload a video needless to say what I went through was a huge hassle but after two weeks he finally got bored and stopped the attacks at the end all it did was stress me out a lot and took up a lot of my time and it could have been a lot worse than that, but it made me think that all I had was a number, a single number, which was my IP address, which by the way, if you don't use a VPN, is incredibly easy. so that anyone can track if with a single number he so easily compromised my internet and prevented me from doing my job for two weeks straight.

How secure is my banking information? You should become my Facebook profile. How easy would it be for a stranger in the world? The future will not only shut down my Internet but will also take over all my private information, my browser history, my private conversations with my family members, and their assets. It was a concern that was constantly in the back of my mind and it is an issue that is very familiar to me, so I am very happy to say that Nord VPN is the sponsor of today's video. Those worries I had that that manic fan could come back any day and turn off my internet.
