I love this movie. I just wish this trailer would have used the main theme, which is in my opinion, one of the top best movie themes of all time.

You have been awarded 1 Power Point for fixing the embed code for Dead Pool video Best Horror Movie Theme song. Thank you for helping maintain VideoSift's reliability.

Both of the other composers listed her... hmmm, let's put their themes up against William's themes in a popular recognition poll.

There's no competition at all, Williams has created more memorable/iconic movie themes than any other composer. There are other brilliant composers out there (I love Hans Zimmer's work), and there are themes which will be instantly recognizable to most people that are written by others. But a single composer writing so many themes that are so well known... come on, no contest.

Love Williams' movie themes. Who wouldn't? I want this in the top 15. Its fun to see a probie get in the top 15 out the gate.

Superman Theme blew the others out of the water.

I was at a Symphony here in Aarhus, where they played a bunch of movie themes, where 4 of them were John Williams.. Superman blew everything out of the water there too. Jurrasic park is fantastic too.

I chuckled at Superman movie theme song in the background.

I think this video raises excellent points and does a good job of questioning something that most people take for granted: the subtle messages contained within movies. You could say that this video itself is questioning popular culture.

I'll address each person, now that I have a moment. Forgive me for the previous tone, White. I was on my way out with kids and was feeling overwhelmed by the negative response to something I see as very worthwhile. I'm blessed to have a husband who shares childcare equally, so now I can sit and write, while he puts them to bed.

Kreegath: The video never tries to imply that masculinity equals sexism. It says that when movies show the male characters as being sexist, this sends the message that men are supposed to be sexist.

Now as adults, we can see that Gaston isn't doing too well, since 'he doesn't get the girl' (another problem with movie themes that I have, but that wasn't even raised in this video) but the scene they show, is a valid one, in that he's obviously a powerful person, since he has so many flunkies running after him and the women in the bar at least think he's pretty good.

So the message the video is objecting to, is that powerful men are dominant and violent and sexist. Where in Disney movies do they show effective or powerful men as quiet, meek and physically diminutive? Even the beast, who does manage to get the prize, is a big hulking, sometimes scary figure.

BillO: Man gets girl is not the only theme in real life, right? How about man conquers mountain, or man loves his neighbour, or man is humbled by his failings, or man learns about himself through adversity? Disney movies may explore some of these themes, but they are usually the means to the first end-that man through all of this, gets the prize of the babe. So, the video is saying that the message of most Disney movies, is that to be an effective man, he needs to impress/ win the heart of the main lady. Aside from this meaning that homosexual relationships continue to be seen as not the norm (I know you don't care about this idea) it also means that all other pursuits are less important. I also have a problem with this idea, because I feel that for children, learning what it means to be a fully fledged human being through the path of self-discovery and relationships with both men and women, is the most important thing to be exposed to.

fjnbk: You and I understand that Gaston isn't the hero and maybe that becomes evident to children by the end of the movie, depending on their age, but certainly throughout the movie, Gaston is shown to be a powerful man. He has girls keen on him, he has people running around doing his bidding and he has a powerful position in the village.

White: You're right, Hercules is meant to be the strongest man in the world, according to Greek mythology and isn't it interesting that he would be chosen as a hero, as opposed to say, a character like Charlie Chaplin or more diminutive figures that previous generations saw as heroes?

Jmzero: I also feel that especially small children may not grasp the overall theme, instead accepting behaviours modeled in certain scenes. I also think that the most important point that the movie makes, which you, nor anyone else in this thread acknowledges, is that boys in particular, are being given warped models of what it means to be a man and that this can only be harmful for future generations of men. Disney movies rarely show heroes as vulnerable or weak. They don't show men overcoming their weaknesses, or learning to compensate for them,or learning to accept them somehow. I see so many people, both men and women, struggling with vulnerability, feeling that they must be strong, must always show the tough exterior/attitude, etc, or they will be beaten,used or abused and this leads to so many relationship problems.

Kids movies could be so good. But in general, they are not. I do not think they are getting any better. So long as they reinforce stereotypes and show people as one-dimensional beings, they can only get worse.

How can men and women learn to accept each other, warts and all, when from when we are babies in diapers, we are told that to succeed, we must be the fittest, the strongest and the most stunning?

The mock- 80's camp movie theme is still funny in my book. Wet Hot American Summer... good movie.

I finally really laughed at t-1:47... pretty black-humor joke there with the monk pouring gas on himself...

After doing some thinking, I suspect this might be a *viral for this thing, it makes no sense to "leak" this at all, and it fits with the whole "how we make movies" theme. Deniro does ad for a "how we make movies" show, deniro gets told how to make movies, deniro gets all mafia-mad.

Everything just fits too well into the theme here for this not to be a viral, and if this is indeed an upcoming show (As opposed to something that aired ages ago), its definitely a viral. but its pretty clever, I'll give'em that.

But have you heard the movie theme yet? I don't know why they have to ruin these things with crappy rap lyrics. A good modern techno version of the original would have been perfect. Anyway, feast your ears.

Helluva lot better than some plain text saying "Please turn off your cellphones."

Maybe if they made more movie-themed PSAs people would actually COMPLY.
