You already know when you see an A24 film that your mind is about to be fucked for at least the next week.

@Hamburgler Helper L

They're just a distribution company. They don't make movies.

Haha I have a bit of facial blindness and I didn't realize it at all until I read your comment. I even had to google it to confirm.

Yeah that's why it's called "Men" same man or being with different body types i guess lol. And someone brought to my attention she is the only woman you see in the trailer/movie.

You'll watch this over and over??? wtf

​@@pointmantis4829have you never watched a movie over and over again, and over and over and over again? I've watched Platoon well into the double figures. City Of God about six times. Trainspotting probably eight to ten times and Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels somewhere into the teens. Over a period of years obviously, even decades. Honorable mentions include : Flight Of The Navigator. The Last Starfighter. Short Circuit 1&2. Training Day. Twin Town Lords Of Dogtown The Boondock Saints & E. T. 👁️ 👃 👅

@@pointmantis4829 its a great film, i have watched 5 times since its release but over and over is a little much considering the level of craziness in the final act

Wow. Thanks. I will pay for it on Prime now than. Wasn’t sure it was gonna be worth it. But I’ll deff watch it. Trailer was super good.

The trailer looks dope! I might watch the movie

Xavier is that you 🤨

This is definitely his moment to shine similar to James mcavoy from Split. Rory is basically doing what Eddie Murphy and Mike Myers did, in the most disturbing frightening way possible. I’m glad I discovered him on penny dreadful. He was one of the only best parts and I found out his father looked just like him and was in some of my favorite older movies. Everytime I see him, I just see Rory in the 70s

He is superb in Penny Dreadful!

He was filming in Leeds last week and he walked over and got into a van right in front of me. I was starstruck!

THAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY 😭😭 MY FRIENDS STARTED LAUGHING

same exact thing happened to me on friday lmao

Because there’s zero subtlety or nuance in the intended subtext. It’s completely over the top and obnoxious from a marketing standpoint, maybe that was the intent.

Says a lot right there

@@Kerunou i also feel like based on the directors past work, the title isn't literally just going to be that on-the-nose in regards to the actual content of the film. im sure it'll deal with gender, but if you think its just gonna be 'big bad men are scary to poor innocent lady', id say look at annihilation. much more nuanced and thoughtful than that.

@@typicalsweg5290 hahaha This movie was F'n Bonkers .. 10 / 10 Epic cinema

My problem is the film feels like it’s pushing the message that all men are bad.

I mean it has some good themes but it's not amazing or anything, and the themes that are shown have been done MILES better than this. The beggining was also a bit boring and not really scary. 5.5/10 for me.

World building innit

That must be part of the secret, right? By limiting the scope of the movie with a small cast of characters, he's able to go all in on fleshing out their personalities and individual experiences of the world he creates, which makes it seem more real to us, the audience.

It's the inner life. The characters have complexity and dimension.

@@latentfuss711 I bought the Ex Machina screenplay and it’s actually amazing how simple and short it is. Yet the movie is so brilliant and thought provoking. Alex is so good

For real, after Ex Machina and Annihilation i am expecting so much from this movie

Exactly! I was excited for Midsommar. It looked mysterious and was intrigued

It's almost like trailers are supposed to be just that! I hate when I watch a trailer and they give away the whole plot in 3 min, I usually say "well no need to watch it now" so refreshing to see great trailers.

@@Tyger20 Well the concept of everyone you see having the same face is pretty terrifying

@@Tyger20 what's unsettling about it is that it's not always the same body type with his face so there is some weird visual stuff going on with how they put his face on different people. It's kind of like a lifelike mask of his face on other people which gives it a really creepy augmented reality to the different people with the same face.

Both of films you previously mentioned are each different ,so not sure what comfort zone you are talking about

comfort zone lol

@@blopp6240 well he is saying he loves when directors leave their comfort zone in general, just saying that it is cool to see them trying new shit, Alex is always trying new shit and that is cool. Honestly I get where he is coming from too, his earlier films seem a bit more cerebral and less horror-y like this seems. Everyone should also watch Devs, what a show.

Devs TV show was definitely a continuation of his God and the Creation theme. How both react to the other. Annihilation was also about creation and the reaction to one another. Human being and alien being. This appears to be the same theme, for me, just woman and man for woman is the creator of man, a potentially dangerous entity to her.

They’re both science fiction.

Nice cover of Elton John's song!

@@SabrehamLincoln - Its actually the other way around. The song was written by Duncan and then later covered by Elton ;)

Start = Duncan, End = John. Same as in the movie

Thank you ♥️

Thanks!

It’s likely because he has yet to have widespread recognition and Jessie was just recently an Oscar nominee.

That book and that movie were absolutely amazing. Idk why people like to say “the books better” because the movie was loads better! It was very well done. I wouldn’t call it a horror though, a thriller or psych thriller more proper

@@quasar960 both of them were good for about 75% of the story and then they both turned into garbage at the end in the same way

Yes, there's a lot of meaning in Ex-Machina and Annihilation thus why those movies have become modern classics

Spoilers for both Men and Watcher (I watched them both in the theater recently): The one thing I didn’t quite like about it is that it invites an interpretation that none of it happened as we were shown. The only part that is “independently confirmed” (ie witnessed by a pre-established third party, her friend) at the end is the car crash. I think this is great to have with movies like The Shining, Blair Witch Project etc going back to novels like Turn of the Screw where you can leave the audience guessing how much of it was really supernatural. However the idea of “it was all in her head” would completely undermine the entire theme of the movie for me, and while I generally love open-ended endings, in this case I wasn’t sure if I liked the implication that the conclusion could be ambiguous in that specific way. Compare with the conclusion of Watcher wherein the entire movie till that point is defined by ambiguity as to whether she’s imagining the threat, and then you walk out of the theater completely, thoroughly reinforced that the threat wasn’t all in her head which turns out to be the entire point of that movie. I’m not saying I didn’t feel there was room for some ambiguity at the end of Men but it felt a little bizarre to leave us with that possibility - it deliberately shows us that the only thing an impartial observer witnesses by the end is something entirely of this world, in contrast to what the protagonist has been dealing with for the entire movie. Perhaps if she had been seriously wounded in some bizarre and inexplicable way in the process of defeating the threat, and that wound were visible as well, that would at least solidly reinforce that she’s been through a grueling experience beyond just crashing her car. Even better would be some sign of her victory like, let’s say, all the clothes of the various personas strewn about her lawn. Visual confirmation that _something_ happened beyond just a car crash. Who knows, maybe showing the car was the director trying to do exactly that - but I would’ve liked more, I guess.

@@blazaybla22 I totally agree with you. The 'it was probably all in her head' possibility was the lamest way possible of ending Men. The intensity of its persecutory and supernatural atmosphere, with its various Occultist and folk mythological motifs, would suggest things haven't happened in her head, and she has genuinely entered some kind of otherworld: which wouldn't have represented itself after all that's happened during the climax in the overly prosaic and easily interpretable way it does to the main character, with her dead husband returning to tell her what he's told her anyway earlier in the film. Those last few minutes suck. It feels like a tacked-on ending forced by a distributor to make the film more digestible to lazy viewers.

@@blazaybla22 you may have forgotten all the streaked blood on the floor viewed by said third party

The only thing missing was better story telling at the end... Also the effects... the body horror born kinda thing after 2x i actually said Enough already stop it loud in the cinema ;) Ugh! The scary part for me is trying to figure out where i got lost in that movie.. I think I got lost when she walked back from the pub.. Why didnt she had a drink?

@@iainrobb2076 But was it all in her head... ? When her friend came to the house she saw the blood trail... going in the house :P

I agree! And The Green Knight also had an excellent sound design!

@@theoporcet yes green knights sound design was amazing I also thought x good sound

Alex Garland's projects are always setting the bar for new sound design. How many movies copy the Annihilation synth wobble now. The tremolo voice modulation from Devs, etc...

It's difficult to distinguish what is score and what is sound design. I would say this most applies to Annihilation. Garland is a very humble director, but these things are not by coincidence.

@@gunterstryke5657 In your pathetic mind, yes ;) LOL. In the theater every one LAUGHED at it. It may seem cheeky. Some laughed because it was sincerely funny (aka men are the monsters). Some laughed because it was ridiculous. I laughed because I can see it being both hilarious and ridiculous.

Are you talking about Ingmar Bergman’s Persona?

i feel like this has to be based around adam & eve somehow !!

Right? Like here they are clearly taking the greatest thing to ever exist and exploring the possibility of horror coming from it

I can definitely see that. The reoccurring of the apple connects with Adam and Eve. I always feel like I’m in literature class while watching most A24 movies.

@@lolOloveOlol21 yes!! he also referred to the apple at one point as the forbidden fruit , which of course is what they called the apples in the bible. i feel like it’ll have some play on how adam & eve were cast out of eden & paradise was lost , hence her husband falling from the roof , & now she’s experiencing everything in the movie. i also think the title “man” has something to do with that as well since man is the origin of life in the bible… just a theory !! :)

@@forrestrichard8133 Why? Hereditary was the most boring, slow and non-eventful piece of crap I've ever seen, not to mention bad storytelling. And Midsommar was garbage.

Watch some explanations, you will see lots of details are missable but its always there, which makes A24 movies brilliant
