kek.
Movies are subjective, anon. Just write what you think the movie meant not caring for what others think.

symbolism and metaphor is overrated as fuck

This. It's all bullshit. This is a view held by the greats of the art. Watching a film is a unique experience that should mean whatever you take from it. If it relies on symbolism or metaphor it's garbage and a waste of time.
How would you go about making video essays?
i write whatever, id rather read an entertaining review than a review from some snob
sometimes i wish i knew more about movies, about what it takes to produce one, all the technicalities about what goes into making any of the equipment related to them, about how post-production and all the related software works.
same with music.
but i'm far too lazy.

>write essay first
>edit together pertinent examples of what you described in essay
that's it. the medium isn't the point, if you have nothing interesting to say or demonstrate it won't matter if it's in watercolors, or video, or sand sculptures
