F for Fake and the Death of the Author - Brows Held High

The best part is when (I think 5 seconds in) you say "quit this vid and go watch the movie" XD.

Well- I guess there is, because of AI and everything. But, I suppose that’s besides the point.

I want to sit and watch you talk about the thing you want to contemplate all day!!

Still a great vid❤

This is an enjoyable video essay. Thank you for creating & presenting it.
Glad you claim no “expert” status… your small errors (pronunciation, nomenclature, etc.) keep your opinions honest.

👍 Amazing film!

I gotta wonder: is it really so bad that Orson Wells’ last movie is Transformers? Citizen Kane is largely autobiographical, and it’s big twist is all about giving the middle finger to leaving behind childish things.

As a swede i got very confused when i heard swedish rap all if the sudden.

The editing is the star of F for Fake

I ❤️ F for Fake

I'm fine with Orson Welles being remember for voicing Unicron, because given the history behind the scenes, it sounded like he was both annoyed and happy to play it.

and one thing I did enjoy learning about was that even if he took this role for the money, he gave it the best he could, given his health, and I would honestly love it if kids did find out about him through the Transformers movie

The man earned his place in cinema history and has left his mark in almost every part of it.
Heck, I can actually quote all of Orson Welles lines as Unicron from the movie, that's how memorable he made him.

Recently, Elmyr's apprentice and heir, Mark Forgy, had a frankly dismaying email exchange with an auction house about "fake Elmyrs". I could feel my brain melting as I read this exchange, with Forgy insisting that only he could determine what was an "authentic Elmyr". It was buck fucking wild.

I do not know why. But I return to this video every time I think of the term "freeze frame enthusiast"...

It is surprisingly often.
