Of course every time I'm about to go to bed yt recommends the most random ass video that turns out to be impressive as hell. Not gonna say much except you gotta see this:

Fun fact, this was directed, written, (and edited?) by Stephen Ford aka Kit Taylor from Kamen Rider Dragon Knight. He was also in Teen Wolf.

This parody was great and very well thought out.

Hahaha, that damn Karen scene.

All I can say is this guy randomly followed me on Twitter and so I followed him back a year ago or so... I know he was in a few shows but he seemed to have been struggling especially when Covid hit. I think he did this on a whim (just decided one day he had an idea and wanted to shoot it for the heck of it) and seeing it go viral and bring him some success is pretty cool.

I'm pleasantly surprised on how well done that was. I intended to kinda skip through it, but I ended up watching the whole thing. That fire shot was so good.

Oh motherfucker! I was just pitching this idea using Tom Newman's score as temp to plan pacing. Whatever, this is good ffs.

I am really glad I watched all of that. Most youtube video recommendations tend to be mediocre but that really was something else.

While the dialogue being mainly topical references was pretty corny, I'll praise the technical skills on display.

Although a bit funny that much like 1917, there is just one token Asian with a speaking role for a film made in 2020. Making this with 2 black dudes and going up against a Karen would have been a more intense boss battle.

This is really well put together. They walked the fine line of making a parody of current events without showing disrespect for suffering people. Pacing and cinematography are top notch too imo. Would love to see more stuff of this caliber

Aye. They did a great job. My only nitpick would be how they made clever use of hidden cuts only to immediately ruin them with camera pans.

I was gonna do the same thing, but from the first shot I was hooked since I loved 1917 and I was curious how they were gonna do certain scenes :D

Just a couple buds having a nap together.

Buddy naps are the best naps, nothing creates a stronger bond.

Yeah this was amazing.

I went back to watch it again and saw that some other dude made a 1917 rap. lol
