Hey, how ya doin’, I hope you’re doing well. You know I’ve never really talked about Hulk on here, made a Hulk Video Essay, talked about The Incredible Hulk, the Hulk Behind the scenes. I don’t have the same connection to the character as so many do, but 21 years since I first saw Ang Lee’s Hulk, first watched Eric Bana Hulk, I am ready to speak about just how misunderstood, and tragic Ang Lee film, Hulk (2003) really is. It truly is A Misunderstood Tragedy, hence the title of this HiTop Films Ang Lee Hulk Video Essay, Ang Lee’s Hulk - A Misunderstood Tragedy. But seriously, I really do hope you all enjoy a video on what probably is The Best Hulk and one of the most under appreciated superhero movies. This is the first of hopefully many HITop Films Hulk Videos.

    I am very happy that more and more people are starting to see the true value of this film. It goes beyond a green man breaking things and facing the bad guy of the week. This movie is about a man reconciling with the pieces of his childhood... With his father. It's about closing cycles so as not to live repressed. This movie is very special to me and I wasn't able to understand why until I was a man.

    @joemarx7495 9 годин тому

    One thing that always brings me back to this movie is that unlike the action-packed Incredible Hulk in 2008 or MCU's Hulk where he's just sort of there, the 2003 Hulk gives so much more story to Bruce Banner's character than the other two combined. Not only that, but the movie I feel really encapsulates what it's like when someone is going through a highly stressful episode in terms of the visuals. It's not just them flailing around, throwing shit, and yelling. It's what's zooming through their head at that moment, fleeting images of intense memories that only make the situation worse as you dwell on them, fueling the stress and inevitable rage that someone can reach if pushed to the limit.

  • @remlezar2693
    @remlezar2693 10 годин тому

    I had a really similar experience watching this as a kid, but I had no idea why. I couldn't understand why it made me so angry and so sad so fast. Years later, when I rewatched it, it clicked. I knew what happened around me as a child locked at home with no friends was wrong, deep down, but I didn't know anything else before. Now that I've gone through more of my life and we got out of that situation years ago, I know what happened. I honestly have never seen a movie depict the kind of nightmares you get from it like this movie. It honestly shocks me but in a good way. It reminds me that I'm not alone in those feelings and that there is hope. I have my own kid now and I understand that fear of becoming the monster that horrified you as a child but seeing my step dad and mom so happy together now and the years of healing I've gone through with them has given me so much hope for the future. Thank you for this. You really put into words what I've felt for a long time.

      It also helps that I cut contact with my biological father in 2018. I haven't heard anything from him since I finally told him over the phone how much he hurt me, my brother's, and most of all, my mom. I don't regret that decision, and I doubt I ever will. Sorry if all of this was trauma dump-ish, but I hope someone out there knows that there's someone like them who knows that pain too and that you can be happy and can have a life worth fighting for and that someone loves you.

    The original movie took a superman that was reduced to a cliche, who was defined by outrageous bronze age comic book clickbait, and remythologized him, rehumanized him for a world that had changed so drastically from the 1930's. That work needs to be done again.

    A movie so underrated yet so important that Universal and Marvel never attempted to do a remake. Instead, the incredible hulk with Norton and the avengers with Rufalo is somewhat of an unacknowledged sequel, making Ang Lee's Hulk still a Canon origin for the MCU. I think this in itself proves how important and complex origin story this movie is.

The way you went into the psychology of the movie really made me sit back and think of when that first came out and probably the reason why I was one of the few friends I had that actually enjoyed it. The entire structure of your video and break down analysis was perfect and at the end I swear my allergies started kicking in LOL

But this time, because this films are just more realistic, she Will not have deadly flowers powers and thet stuff. She uses ... Aaaaahhh... quemichals! Is the Batman's job to stop her.

  • @browncoat007

    I remember both loving and fearing this movie as a kid. The scenes of Bruce's childhood, of Bruce losing control of his emotions, breaking down, scared me more than most horror films I saw back then did and now as a adult I realize why. Because it felt so real and so familiar, that pain and rage, and it frightened me. Not just of the film but of myself. And it still kinda does but in a way that's so cathartic it's unreal. This film will always be incredibly special to me and I'm all the more grateful for it in comparison for what we get for Hulk in film now a days.

  • @diogohenriquemagal6960
    @diogohenriquemagal6960 День тому

    Despite it's flaws, I both loved and felt deeply unnerved and touched by this movie since its release. I'm an offspring of a troubled marriage that eventually resulted in divorce, filled with emotional abuse from both parties till the very end of it. I'd always felt inadequate , being a very silent and repressed child, with odd interests like comic books and paleo stuff. It wasn't until later in my teenagehood that I had a 360º change with much help, becoming an extrovert lad. I believe that's why I emotionally connect so much with this film and its themes, it's a very personal mediation on trauma, as well as repressed/mixed feelings on dysfunctional parental figures.
