Happy 2023 everyone! This month I'm making 2 videos; the first one, which should be out early next week, is about Avatar: The Way of Water, which I think has been somewhat underappreciated by critics when it comes to its storytelling techniques and its thematic substance, and so I want to try and add some depth to the disucssion.
Then, towards the end of the month, I'll be doing a video on the new All Quiet on the Western Front. I had partially written the script for this one a few weeks ago, but decided to shelve it as I wasn't sure how popular the movie was. But it looks like it had a bigger audience than I initially assumed, and so I want to finish up my take on it, which I think can be best seen as a specific case study for my existing video on anti-war cinema, for which I think this movie is an excellent choice; both to demonstrate what I see as effective anti-war sentiments, as well as a few pitfalls that don't quite work for me.
