Im looking for personal film analysis, preferred in a movie format.. much like the work of
Rob Ager's - http://collativelearning.com/FILMS%20reviews%20BY%20ROB%20AGER.html
-
for what movie?
-
any movie. I'm looking for some archives ill just pick the films that need some explanation
-
Rob Ager is a hero. I haven't seen anyone else do anything quite as indepth as him. But if you find some, I would also like to know
edit: actually thats not true, I'm sure if you just google the film and explanation you'll get some sort of essay. I remember doing this after I watched Primer and found a really cool essay and documentation on the timeline and structure

Any chance you have the link for that? I love reading about people's analysis of Primer. It took me three attempts to piece what was going on in the film and with each subsequent viewing I pick up on a little more each time.

uh yeah go to a library or a bookstore and you'll find all kinds of people that do film analysis. like, entire books on a single film, or at least a couple of films. that is kind of a ridiculous statement to make don't you think? I mean I know you edited your post but come on.

I have read Ager's stuff and I have to say that sometimes he falls short of clomplete lucidiy of deep concept, especially in reference to Kubrick's work. The one that stands out most is Full Metal Jacket, where he didn't quite align the dualistic indoctrination of the characters Rafterman and Pyle through the first and second acts... that is, if Ager is the guy who I think he is?

yeah no shit, but the op sounded like he wanted some online blogs and videos. My point was that I haven't really found any other wesbites like Collativelearning or better youtube vids than the ones he has done (since the op is asking for preferably movie formats), but then I edited my post to say that I have found certain pages that have essays on single films if you google it. But I still haven't found another website quite like Collative learning, which has a back catalogue of films on one page

Thx Lyndon, that exactlly what I ment. I should have just asked for an alternative to collectivelearning.
I watched Eyes Wide Shut today and loved Rob Ager's review. even tho he doesnt give a clear conclussion to the complete picture.

is there a film with so much to said about as 2001: A Space Odyssey?
Easily it is the very best film I've seen.

do it yourself
there's no point ever watching a movie if you aren't going to rely on your perception over that of everyone else
-
that can be a tricky thing to remember sometimes though (if you have a PEA-brain)

I like reading others perceptions.
and I would be able to figure out all of 2001 without this kind of in-depth explanation. I have a pea brain.
-
2001 is a bad example of that. it's a pretty complicated movie that leaves a lot of its imagery deliberately vague so you can come with your own conclusions pertaining to the relationship between man and the universe.
most movies aren't that demanding of the audience. i can only think of a few films where i could see how someone would really need to do that.

"Weekend at Bernie's" comes to mind.
