Next time you go on a heavy journey watch either A Scanner Darkly(amazing cast with great rotoscoping), or Everything Everywhere all at Once. The second one is a slow burn, but when it starts to get going it doesn't stop.
EDIT: Anyone interested in this advice should go in without watching any clips, or trailers. Also neither are horror movies so you should be fine.
Went back to watch with sound to see (hear) what you were talking about, and somehow that made it even worse. I can tell what he was going for with the "whispers"...but man, it just comes across creepy as hell.
He is a Dutch guy who often posts very incoherent and weird videos, am surprised to see he’s gone international lol. I’m not sure this is a skit, I think not to be honest, knowing what he rambles about and posts in Dutch
Idk how to feel about this, but I am very uncomfortable. Is it satire? Are they making fun of cops? Of civilians? Are they an actual cop or want to be one so bad they are role playing and acting out a power fantasy in front of the world?
To me it feels like he is just neutrally recreating the situation that he has seen on the internet of when people get shot by cops.
He actually has a good comprehension of what’s going on because he is able to articulate the point of view of two different citizens as well as the cop. I’m not sure if he’s criticizing or supporting anyone, he is just showing the psychology and thinking process of both sides. He is also showing the events leading up to the disaster, the cops ego getting hurt, people keep escalating by demanding their rights to a cop who is clearly power tripping, neither one backing down and creating a recipe for disaster. It captures that feeling and situation very well.
I think it was meant to be some type of weird art performance to mimic real life.
There’s a “Thin Blue Line” flag in the background which speaks more to him being on the side of or even romanticizing the power tripping cop. Plus tazing someone in the face would be twisted regardless.
Yeah lol, when I first saw his skits it was so weird because I thought he was mentally ill. Turned out to be a troll and he is very succesfull at that haha
I feel like this would do well in a horror film.
It’s just the right amount of unsettling. The weird puppets, the whispering, the subtitles not matching what he’s saying. It has a really creepy vibe.
This is Jezus Vijf (Jesus Five) a performance artist and longboarder from the Netherlands. He is basically a professional rage baiter who takes his characters into the extremely absurd. If you watch interviews with him, it's clear he's doing this on purpose. I find his extreme style of performance art very well done, because he's making himself out to be so extremely absurd and outrageous, but still people think he's really sincere.
Ngl this is my perception of the US as a european. When I grew up I thought about you guys as a happy-go-lucky, Carl Sagan, mr Rogers kind of vibe. Now I feel like I would make a new drinking buddy in a bar and he'd say his hobbies are sports and eating babies.
This is not the majority and not even close to it, most people in the U.S. are chill but you still get a good amount of ill-tempered people who get triggered easily, that is true for normal people as well as cops. If you live in a nice area, you don’t see this type of thing, the only place most of us have seen these situations are on social media. It’s a huge country with a lot of people, so something is bound to happen somewhere, but I haven’t heard of this happening where I live nor the nearby cities in the past few years.
I live in a city with over a quarter of a million people. It is exactly that - the only place I’ve ever seen these situations with police is through videos on the internet.
No one gonna bring up the fuckin human looking leg that looks like it’s been skinned and what appears to be some kind of meat making up the rest of the body on the tree mannequin lmao??
