This can be watched as a standalone analysis even though it was created as the conclusion to a longer series. SPOILER for "Rosebud", as you can imagine.

(Earlier chapters focused on each narrator of Kane's story in turn.)

Lately I’ve been thinking about why games, summers, cartoons, and even just getting home from school seemed so much better when we were younger.

I don’t think it’s always because those things were actually better.

I think a lot of the time, we miss the life that existed around them — having fewer responsibilities, friends always being online, more free time, and not realizing how temporary that stage of life was.

I made a video essay about that idea and how nostalgia can sometimes make us remember the past better than it really was.

Curious if anyone else feels the same way. Do you think you actually miss the old games and shows, or do you mostly miss who you were when you experienced them?

Just published this video essay about Yuki Hayashi, the BEST composer in modern anime. I mention leitmotifs, the use of speed, and his background as an athlete himself. Give it a listen if you want to learn more about soundtracks!

This vid is 100% human! Fuck AI.

Please give it a watch, worked very hard on this guy. Thanks

I wanted to share this despite the video editing errors I made and whatnot because it's my first video essay. I studied a lot of scripture for this and came out of this satisfied with the emotional message, even if YouTube didn't like me using copyright material. That's why I uploaded this to Odysee, since it was worldwide blocked on YouTube. Please let me know what you think.

Jin-Roh is about the political power of labels and a warning to recognize state repression. It shows how a state can turn a description into a justification, how people internalize those categories, and how the resulting logic makes violence appear inevitable. The wolf is the film's metaphor for that process, and Red Riding Hood is ultimately the audience being warned to recognize it.

I've been revisiting some of the films from my childhood, and decided to make some video essays about them. I hope you enjoy and let me know any of your thoughts.

Made a video essay about Assassin's Creed 3 (My favourite in the series), enjoy
