100% Of Your Brain (short)

Two Takes ·

2024/03/01

We apparently only use around 10% of our brain. In some films, we are presented with what would happen if we used more. What I findinteresting is that, in films like Lucy and Limitless, it's in a form of a drug, that strangely does the same thing but we see different outcomes to what might happen.

Final Fantasy VII X Horizon Zero Dawn Connection (short)

Two Takes ·

2024/02/24

The 'World Soul' or Anima Mundi (in Latin) is the connection between all living things, and like the soul is connected to the human body, it relates to the world as a life force, interacting with each other like neurons in the human brain; it is all one essence, just doing many many things at the same time, interlacing and interconnecting, working together. This can be said for GAIA and her sub-functions in Horizon Zero Dawn, but on a more physical and robotic scale. And for Final Fantasy

Alien Eggs (short)

Two Takes ·

2024/02/16

When you find an alien egg, it's wise to not touch it, right? Could we say the same when these ideas spawn from both horror andcomedy films? Take the Alien franchise, and then place it next to Gremlins. Both species hatch cocoon like eggs and wreck havoc on anyone they see. Was there a reason we have placed monsters as scary when coming out of a shell? Copyright to Two Takes

15 Million Merits Theory (short)

Two Takes ·

2024/02/12

In Black Mirror's episode '15 Million Merits', Bing's expression and outburst about the injustice of how everyone is living shows the aspect of division of class, but more on point, about the pretence of a society that is based on choice, when really, as can understand, it is not. More clues, much like the 'Cuppliance' drink can emphasise this theory, another being the judges of the show 'Hot Shot'. Wraith - a demon that takes your soul, Hope - like Pandora's box

Ghosts (short)

Two Takes ·

2024/02/09

I guess we could all be driven insane by ghosts. In 2019's Joker and The Shining, there seems to be that connection, whether it was literal with Jack, or metaphorical with Arthur, we can all become like ghosts to each other through our own bitterness and selfishness it seems.

Call Me By Your Name | External Flux

2024/02/06

Analysing the 2017 romance drama Call Me By Your Name, an exploration of philosophical intrusions, views on ambigious friendship, the race of change and the next steps within relationships. Copyright to Two Takes

Moon (2009) Theory (short)

Two Takes ·

2024/01/31

Sam Bell, from the film Moon, had to face a lot of challenges when finding his way back to Earth. Director Duncan Jones featured what happens next for Sam in a small cameo in his 2018 film Mute. We can see on the TV the continuation of what Sam had to go through, with him facing court, arguing with himself... Copyright to Two Takes

Shut Up And Dance Theory (short)

Two Takes ·

2024/01/31

In the Black Mirror episode 'Shut Up And Dance', the anti-malware software Kenny downloads was called 'Shrive'. 'Shrive' is actually the an archaic term meaning to either confess your sins to a priest or to be absolved by them. The trollfaces, the people behind Shrive, might be fishing the internet for troublemakers, finding Kenny doing something he shouldn't have. This can be seen as many different things: that the trollfaces were essentially trying to weed out

Independence Day X Oblivion Theory (short)

Two Takes ·

2024/01/26

We have all seen films that present alien invasions in different manners. But what if Independence Day, showing the aliens and the inside of their mothership, was their first attempt and then they came back a second time and succeeded in Oblivion? We don't see the alien, but we see their mothership which strangely looks the same... Copyright to Two Takes

Wicked Witches & Nome Kings (short)

Two Takes ·

2024/01/24

In The Wizard of Oz and The Return to Oz, the idea of things such as water killing a witch or an egg killing the Nome King, could only be linked to the power of wanting something so much it features in your imagination. Water was wanted in Kansas because of the drought, and the eggs were wanted because of the need for food. In Oz, things have a habit of coming true in the strangest of circumstances it seems...

Death Stranding | The Journey West (pt.2)

Two Takes ·

2024/01/24

Analysing the video game Death Stranding (2019), exploring the connection from our reality to the world of the game, and the realisation of how close to the world of the dead we really are. Death Stranding, within it's created universe, has different strands that both connect and tangle within each other. How the history behind a made up world can reflect certain aspects of ours, whether that be through past events, beliefs or emotional connections, and the need for a better future, a change,

Black Mirror Thoughts (short)

Two Takes ·

2024/01/20

Black Mirror episodes have always been known to make the audience to question and perhaps even fear the reliance on technology. But in some various overlooked aspects, it can be observed that the thing we should be wary of is the people who use the technology in the first place. Technology has a function and a mindset that is like a machine. It calculates with the code engrained in its system. You couldn't say the same for a person; humans are more emotionally charged, unpredictable, prone to

Follow The Red Brick Road... (short)

Two Takes ·

2024/01/20

There's a strange link between 1939's The Wizard of Oz and Fallout If you think about it, Diamond City and the Emerald City are the same. Not only because of the colour coincidence but because of the references. We see Dorothy at the beginning of the trail, with a swirl of red and yellow brick. In Fallout 4, if you follow the Freedom Trail left by the Railroad, you follow the red brick road, whereas in Oz, Dorothy only follows the yellow. It's almost as if the red trail takes you in the

Utopian Society & Human Suffering (short)

Two Takes ·

2024/01/18

There's this theme within various films like Divergent, I Think We're Alone Now, Equals and Equilibrium, to name a few, that are fascinated with the connection of human suffering and the need for a utopian society. To eradicate human emotion, to take it away and to present oneself as a blank slate, does that present a peace of mind, or lack of true freedom? Copyright to Two Takes

Oppenheimer Thoughts (short)

Two Takes ·

2024/01/16

In 1927, Heisenberg introduced the Uncertainty Principle according to which the electron's position and momentum can never be determined accurately. Oppenheimer found this fascinating as it contradicted Bohr's theory. The Uncertainty Principle contributed to the development of quantum mechanics and the quantum mechanical model of the atom by the fact that our knowledge of the properties of nature is limited. We can predict, but we can never really know for sure. Copyright to Two Takes

Science Match The Fantasy? (short)

Two Takes ·

2024/01/12

The Animatrix short story named 'Beyond' features the same occurrences that Jane Foster discovers in Thor: The Dark World. Both going to an abandoned building to find its reality isn't the same as ours. Things float or disappear. Could the aspects of the Matrix, be like the opening of portals to other worlds? Does the science match up to the fantasy? Copyright to Two Takes

Oppenheimer the American Prometheus (short)

Two Takes ·

2024/01/11

Why was Oppenheimer named 'The American Prometheus'? The greek titan, Prometheus, was best remembered as the one that defied the Olympian gods, stole fire and gave it to humans to make their lives better. This can be the same for Oppenheimer in two ways. One, he gave them his creation of the atomic bomb, two, both Prometheus and Oppenheimer created powerful technology that needed to be used responsibly, making the consequences become unintentionally good or evil.

Loki & Avengers Theory (short)

Two Takes ·

2024/01/10

There is a moment within the second season of Loki that reminds me of the Avengers. Loki is with his friends in a loop of trying to save the TVA, with B-15, Mobius, O.B, Timely, Casey, and Silvia. Six people, differing skills that collide together to create the team. Loki is the only one, it seems, outside of everything that can make the difference. Copyright to Two Takes

Jaskier The Amazing Devil (short)

Two Takes ·

2024/01/08

Jaskier, the bard in the Witcher series, seems to follow his dreams in our reality as well. Joey Batey, the actor that plays Jaskier, is also in a dramatic, lyrical alt folk band, formed by himself and vocalist Madeline Hyland named The Amazing Devil when they met as working actors for the Royal Shakespeare Company in 2014. Find their music on Spotify to find the similarities between himself and his character in The Witcher. Copyright to Two Takes

White Animals And Horror (short)

Two Takes ·

2024/01/04

The symbolism of white animals, especially dogs, seem to represent innocence in a world of chaos. Films like High Rise and The Cell emphasis this theory, of a white animal in the midst of horror and depravity that seems to either succumb to the destruction by no fault of their own, or become a liability to the main antagonist. Their main reason is to show a little light in the darkness, and to emphasise whether the protagonist can be saved. Copyright to Two Takes
