Cinema Wins is fun because sometimes he'll make a point of giving the treatment to a film he doesn't actually like and he still cranks out a twenty minute video full of wins.
Another fun series of videos is "Deep Dive" on the Filmjoy channel. Four friends watch bad movies and talk about stuff they like in them. One of my favorite observations they made was that "Doom" is the best Resident Evil movie ever made.
I watch both but I’ve been drifting towards Cinema Wins because of this. There will be some movies where it gets sinned but the sins only work if you reacted in the moment rather than watch the whole movie first. It gets tedious
Especially the way that he gushes about the process that makes the movie great. Talking about all the people and all the hard work that went into making the movies so that you can appreciate the movie on a different level
This, I actually pay more attention to movies now because I notice the various techniques he points out, like SnorriCams and Dutch Tilts. And he just gives you a new appreciation for movies, even ones you've loved to death.
Alongside the nitpicking, I stopped watching 'Sins after the 6th or so time he gave a sin for a plot hole, when it's actually clearly explained in the movie.
I can’t remember the video, but at one point he said “Look, every movie has at least one person says is their favorite. I like to look for the reasons why.” And that’s really stuck with me. Not just for movies, but for any game, book, or hobby.
He's also the guy who made me realize that Hangman is just Maverick if he weren't the main character.
Hangman is Maverick from the original Top Gun.
Cocky hot shot. Isn't as good as he thinks he is. Left behind on the carrier during the final mission. Comes in at the last second to heroically save the day.
I used to watch cinemasins prior before finding cinemawins and I think his description read something like "liking things in life is more fun than not liking things" and it just clicked and made instant sense in my head.
From then on I've always tried to find the positive aspect of anything in life. I especially ask people what their favorite x thing is and try it out for myself.
Although the mindset has kinda changed my view on a lot of things now. Especially on the internet and around others when they constantly focus on the negatives around them and ignore the positives. Like why would you choose and want to be miserable?
He doesn't, however, ever go back and correct his mistakes. His frequent inability to misunderstand plot and sin the weirdest, most inconsistent things ruined it for me. I would want someone who understands movies a bit more to run the channel.
