I saw Ga'hoole at the theater and until you made this video I half believed I'd hallucinated the whole thing because I'd never encountered another person who had watched it.

I got to meet Zack as an extra in Detroit for Batman V Superman. The extras were stuck on set until late into the evening even though our scenes were done. I was a huge comic book and movie kid who was just stoked to be there.
Well as a result of me talking to every person I could find to learn more about what they do, word got to Zack about some enthusiastic kid in the extras area. Suddenly during a break between shots someone taps me on the shoulder and when I turned around he was standing there to say hello.
Zack spent the next 20 minutes or so just talking to me about anything: superheroes, movies, my college he was just filming at, etc. He saw I had a deck of cards and asked if I knew and magic tricks. I managed to pull one off that worked accidentally even better than intended and he seemed impressed.
He was extremely nice and cool the entire time. Honestly he took time out of his busy schedule totally unrequested to talk to a nobody. It may have been no big deal to him but it meant the world to me.
I will watch every movie he makes forever. I may not feel the need to argue their quality, but I will always step into any online discussions that attack him as a person. He really is a standup guy.

That analysis of the owl movie and the comparison between Excalibur and all of Snyder's DC comics work has absolutely blown my mind. Awesome take.

He should do a Conan adaptation, since that seems to be the embodiment of the things he's interested in.

I can confidently say that I am a living person who has seen Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole. I saw it in theaters when it came out! And I even read the book!

The phrase â300 for kidsâ had me cackling

To understand Zack Snyder all you have have to do is listen to his commentary track on all his movies. The phrase "we did (this) because it was cool" or "(This) was really cool" or "this is a cool shot" or "that moment was so cool", is said by him accross every movie.

There's a scene in Book 7 of the Ga'Hoole books, where Nyra asks this one smith if he could make it so her battle talons have coals on the tips. The smith responds that you COULD, but it's a terrible idea -- she won't be able to walk or hunt normally, they'd make stealth missions impossible, and regular use will permanently scar her. Nyra's response is, basically "Yeah, but it'd be totally badass, so I want them"
I feel like there's a strong Snyder element there.

what I'm getting out of this is basically what me and my friend concluded fairly recently: he should have a big writer guy do the big writer guy stuff and probably make a rough animatic/storyboard so then he could focus on making pretty looking stuff on set, him being a great people person makes him a fun guy to work with (if we believe the anecdotes from cast and crew) but perhaps he could REALLY benefit from partnering up with a specialist who can cover his weak points

Dunno if anyone else jumped on it, but another massive homage to Exalibur is that he cast CiarĂĄn Hinds as Steppenwolf, who was King Lot in Excalibur.

I think the most divisive thing about Snyder is exemplified by the fact that he had obviously read Watchmen enough times that he was intimately familiar with the visuals, but was seemingly oblivious to any of the significance.
I think his appeal to his audience rests on the fact that, well, some people Fight Club is just about dudes fighting.

Calling it "the owl movie" made me laugh every time

I met Zack Snyder when I interviewed him when he was shooting Dawn of the Dead, and the minute I started talking to him I had instantly liked the guy, I don't know what it was but I have said he is the coolest cat on the planet. So down to earth so humble and really has a passion for film. We talked for about 20-30 minutes about the remake, but also met up at the world premiere and we discussed the finished product which I was and still am on the fence about.... but I will never forget meeting the guy and having a huge respect for him because he wasn't full of himself, he just wants to make a movie and bring it to the masses.
Of his DC films I like Man of Steel, not a fan of BvS, but did enjoy his cut of Justice League... 300 I enjoy, but think he over uses slow motion, the rest of his filmography is meh in my book but I will still sit down and give it a watch because there is something about his visual style that makes even the most meh movie still watchable, plus I can't find anything bad about the guy so I generally want to see him succeed and he has to a level where he is his own genre... Amazing when you think about it.
PLus meeting him on Dawn and then getting to work as a zombie on Romero's Land of the Dead as well led me to do my own low budget zombie films and I don't think I would have done it had I not met Zack.

Finally, an analysis about Zack Snyder that talked about the Gahoole movie. I've been a fan of his ever since I watched that movie
(And no, I didn't watch it in theatre, I rented it)
Edit:
Fun fact, Excalibur was also the movie that inspired the Soul game series, especially its aesthetics. Also learning that Snyder is such a big fan for Heavy Metal finally made everything makes sense

Wow, I think this has got to be THE definitive analysis on Zack Snyder as a director. This really articulated a lot of thoughts and feelings I've had about his work. You're an incredible film essayist.

You know this is peak cinema movie essay when there is a direct quote of the legendary Garth Marenghi's Darkplace

I read every Guardians of Ga'Hoole book as a kid and my brother and I got our parents to take us to see it in theatres and I was so excited. And I was even more excited when they made the cheeky decision for OWL CITY to make an original song for the credits. I watched that music video over and over again lol

âThe Excaliburâ
âDawn of Excaliburâ
âJustice Excaliburâ
âExcalibur of Steelâ
âLegends of Excaliburâ
â299 Britons + Excaliburâ
Your deep dive analysis gave me an unexpected insight into Snyder as a creator. I find his films akin to those oversized sumptuous coffee table books; itâs not for me but I can see why others enjoy them. Yet with this new angle and understanding I realized his signatures are not due to creative limitations but rather an utter devotion to a singular inspiration which, in a way, is quite admirable.
Thanks for this enjoyable and truly constructive video essay.

I really liked this. I'm not a fan of Snyder's movies in general, but you made me see his work in a new way and better understand where his aesthetic comes from.

Patrick constantly saying I haven't watched Legends of the Guardians really turned this into a psychological horror video.
