Dwell On The Beauty Of Life (short)

Two Takes ·

2024/08/08

“Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them. Think constantly on the changes of the elements into each other, for such thoughts wash away the dust of earthly life.” - Marcus Aurelius Copyright to Two Takes

"You Look Lonely..." (short)

Two Takes ·

2024/08/07

"You look lonely, I can fix that" we've all seen this scene. But the importance of it, the removal of the bandage symbolises the protective walls coming down, the revealing of the scars and the pain. Joe has lost Joi, he is not human because the memories were not his and so, he finally knows loss. And in this feeling, Joe becomes more than what he was made for. Copyright to Two Takes

Columbus | Modernism With A Soul

Two Takes ·

2024/08/06

This episode was chosen by a YouTuber. If there is a film you wish for me to analyse, let me know!Columbus presents what it would feel like to represent one's own feelings and memories in a physical form, like a building. When we choose to go places that remind us of feelings or memories, we strive for something that has meaning only to us. We sit in it's awe, in it's silence and float in its substance. We take a breath, and we pause, soaking in the atmosphere, the sites, the sounds,

"To Be Or Not To Be" (short)

Two Takes ·

2024/07/31

"To be, or not to be, that is the question:Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to sufferThe slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,Or to take arms against a sea of troublesAnd by opposing end them. To die—to sleep,No more; and by a sleep to say we endThe heart-ache and the thousand natural shocksThat flesh is heir to: 'tis a consummationDevoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;To sleep, perchance to dream..." Copyright to Two Takes

Only Lovers Left Alive - Quintessence of Dust

Two Takes ·

2024/07/23

Vampires have always been a fascination of mine, but more so with their thoughts and feeling rather than the transformation or the blood lust. Only Lovers Left Alive invokes the feeling of Interview With The Vampire, with much less about the sparkling and questionable love triangle (like Twilight), and more about the quintessential emphasis on how they simply live. The characters, Adam and Eve, show us through intellectual thoughts and feelings how less is more, how loss can still hold true for

Blade Runner - The Meaning Of Joi (short)

Two Takes ·

2024/07/10

In Blade Runner 2049, I have wondered why Joi is featured in the storyline, only for her to be killed later on. A theory can be that the inclusion of Joi with Joe explores the concept of love versus mortality. Even though Joe is not human, sometimes we forget this. This might be because love exists so strongly and constantly for humans because of the knowledge of inevitable death. The want to be loved is ever present and this is the same for Joe.

Into The Wild Poetry (short)

2024/07/01

"There is a pleasure in the pathless woods;There is a rapture on the lonely shore; There is society, where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and music in it's roar; I love not man less, But Nature more..." (By Lord Byron) (Into The Wild) Copyright to Two Takes

Poor Things | Sugar And Violence

Two Takes ·

2024/06/25

In a world blended with the sweetness of sugar and the vulgarity of violence, Bella takes a bite of both and discovers what it means to live again free from the societal pressures in an uncanny steam punk Victorian setting. From the confines of the family setting where social structures can create human perceptions, to the impact of coming into contact with the real world. We follow Bella, a uniqueindividual, on a adventure that changes everything for her. Copyright to Two Takes

A Murder At The End Of The World | Faulty Programming

Two Takes ·

2024/06/11

Time becomes non-linear, circular, like the retreat in Iceland. From Darby investigating the Silver Doe crimes in the past with Bill, and then investigating the murder of Bill in the hotel, it presents similar feelings of defeat, judgement, curiosity and more. The feelings circulate and are represented to show parallels between the past andpresent, whilst opening doors emotionally within our main protagonist. There's always a link when we reflect into our pasts and it is here that we see it in

Intelligence Vs Emotions (short)

Two Takes ·

2024/04/11

In films where enhancement of intelligence happens, like Lucy, or we are infected with a parasite, like Venom, we are balancing between two extreme opposites it seems; more emotional stimulation and empathy, connecting us more with others of our kind, or the cold logical calculation of sacrificing the many for the few that will deem the ones fit to survive. Like a battle of right and left side of the brain.Copyright to Two Takes

There Be Madness Around Lighthouses (short)

Two Takes ·

2024/04/10

What I have come to find is that in both the Lighthouse and in Annihilation, the lighthouse can be seen as something symbolic, presenting an almost end result to the story the characters see themselves in, as well as being it's own presiding presence in both films as the characters find themselves swallowed up in the happenings within and around this striking building.

Parasites Everywhere (short)

Two Takes ·

2024/04/08

It just seems within the world of film, looking outwards with something like a parasite invading is still somewhat looking inwards, at us, at who we are. Look at the anime Parasyte, or the films Invasion of The Body Snatchers, to name a few. We seem to want to explore what makes us who we are, whether that means something enhancing us within or stripping it away; we find ourselves always on the brink of becoming something else, something other.

"Cats are good, half in, half out anyway" (short)

Two Takes ·

2024/04/05

33."Cats are good. Half in, half out anyway" And what Constantine means, in so many ways, is that cats in many cultures, throughout history, represent a conduit between the spirit world and the physical world. They are the half way point connecting them together, hence why Constantine uses a cat to gain access to another world. Like the Cheshire cat in Alice in Wonderland, the black cat in Coraline, or the 'deja vu' black cat featured in The Matrix, they are there filtering

Squid Game - Choice (short)

Two Takes ·

2024/04/03

In Squid Game, we follow the Seong Gi-hun as we delve into the crisis of the poor and the desperate as they are given a chance to earn money by playing a game, quickly realising it's their life on the line. It is quite clever when everything is based on choice; the mysteriousness of the organisation is dwindled down into shapes of a child's play thing; of the golden card with only a number to call, and the question of whether you wish to participate in the game. Once there, people are not

The OA And Different Realities (short)

Two Takes ·

2024/03/20

The OA circulates around the idea that everything is connected,itquestions the concept of multiple dimensions and whats on the other side, whether thats through the afterlife, or through another reality. It has made many of its audience believe in something better, something in themselves. Religious ceremonies, rituals, even in movement, have shown a blending of many aspects of the human psyche, such as cherishing hope and finding oneself, establishing a link that whatever way works best is the way

Fight Club & Cinderella Theory (short)

Two Takes ·

2024/03/18

There's a connection between 1950's Cinderella and Fight Club. Both the fairy godmother and Tyler Durden materialise right at the moment of the main characters almost hitting rock bottom. They create the hope for something new or something that needs to happen. In order for these manifestations to take place, whether in their minds or through magic, both their intentions are fixed on making the protagonist continue their story in a very specific way.

The OA Time Loops (shorts)

Two Takes ·

2024/03/14

Thequote from T.S.Eliot, shared in an OA episode: "Weshall not cease from exploration, And the end of all our exploring, Will be to arrive where we started, And know the place for the first time" It emphasises that history seems to repeat itself, but with each time the loop enlarges a bit with the added experience of the last. We (individually as well as collectively) grow a little and then come back to the same place, or behaviour or pattern with that little bit extra, which makes us

Final Fantasy VII Theory (short)

Two Takes ·

2024/03/07

Final Fantasy VII also embraces the concept of Shinto, the Japanesereligion revolving around 'kami', the supernatural beings or 'shinto gods' that inhabit all things considered important to life, such as wind, rain, mountains, trees, and rivers. There isn't really any fear of death either, because when humans die, they become kami and become one with the world, much like the life-force explored and explained in the film and game of Final Fantasy VII.

Oppenheimer Extra (shorts)

Two Takes ·

2024/03/05

Why was Oppenheimer interested in Niel Bohr's work? The Bohr model of the atom shows negatively charged electrons travel in defined circular orbits around the positively charged nuclei (like tiny planets around a sun like our solar system). In this theory, electrons could jump from one orbit to another by emitting or absorbing energy. The further away the electron, the higher the energy, accounting the stability of atoms on the hydrogen-atom spectrum. This helped give birth to quantum
