Hi everyone,

I've been making movie essays for a few months now, and I'm still trying to figure out what works and what doesn't.

One of my earlier videos performed much better than I expected, but my recent ones haven't, even though I feel like I've improved as a writer and editor.

I made a new essay about whether adventure movies have lost their sense of wonder, and I'd really appreciate some honest feedback.

I'm not looking for compliments—I genuinely want to know:

• Was the opening interesting enough?
• Did the pacing ever feel slow?
• Was there a point where you wanted to stop watching?
• Was the argument convincing?
• What would you change if this were your video?

Here's the video:

Thanks to anyone who takes the time to watch it. Even a few honest criticisms would really help me improve.

Hi everyone,

I've been thinking a lot about why older romance films seem to linger with people in a way many newer ones don't. I ended up making a short video essay exploring that idea not to argue that older movies are automatically better, but to understand what changed.

I'd really appreciate some honest feedback, especially from people who watch a lot of films.

Specifically:

• Do you agree with the central idea?
• Was there anything you thought I missed or oversimplified?
• Did the argument feel convincing?
• Most importantly, did the video keep your attention, or were there parts that dragged?

I'm trying to become a better writer and filmmaker, so I'm looking for criticism as much as praise.

Thanks for taking the time if you decide to watch it.
