    “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

    Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

      Close-ups. So annoying.

      ETA: Another annoying technique, which he sort of touches on, is the "through shot." IOW - camera shoots characters from the point of view of someone watching through a window, behind curtains, or (Breaking Bad) from inside a container - trunk of a car, oven, whatever.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        The YouTuber failed to support the premise of his video's title that "every film today looks alike."

        1. In comparison with older films, the YouTuber has not established whether today's films are more or less self-similar than the films from past eras.

        2. The YouTuber neglected many genres and many centers of filmmaking. The YouTuber focus mostly on North American live action drama, neglecting animation, anime, superhero movies, horror, parodies, Western, sci-fi, Bollywood productions, Korean productions, Japanese productions, Hong Kong productions, mainland China productions, etc. They all bring very different styles, visually and otherwise; some could not have existed in older eras.

        The YouTuber focused on a few film making minutiae and neglected the rest of the world. The overall analysis looks like a student paper with very limited perspective; limited research, limited in time, limited in space.

            Breaking seemed to have one screwball camera angle in each episode.

              Absolutely.

              I'll let you watch it for me and provide a synopsis.
