Agree on all points. I found myself wondering why I was still watching this several times during the show. I wanted to like it very much. I adore most of the cast in their other projects, but this film is so confused in thinking that it would show us what it shows us, and expect us to overlook that and align with Rosamund‘s reasons. I think a perfect summation would be in the very last scene when the son of the patient shootsPike, I was thinking to myself “good.“ And if that’s my last thought, then I think that the movie failed on many fronts.
Wow Tom cruse going on an “impossible mission” who would have thought??
Love the vlogs Dave!
Great video! We drove up to Bloomington, IN from Clover, SC. The weather forecast was a little iffy but, it turned out great. We were also right in the middle and, the totality lasted 00:04:01. The last one we saw was not too far from where we lived back in 2017. Here is a video I put together from the eclipse in Bloomington. ua-cam.com/video/CeDAvdvIptg/v-deo.html
Funny you mentioned Force Awakens, because imagery of eclipse happened in that movie too.
Do we all remember how satire works?
for the alg.
9:12 wow! Even here that moment gives me tingles
Great work, Dave. Fun compilation of the experience from beginning to end!
I did my best to fly from Vancouver to Niagara for this as im in my 20s but it didn’t pay off as good everyone hoped for. It was still a once in a lifetime experience. I will try make to a sunny one when i have money. Damn clouds 😢
My childhood is that drive from chicago through indiana.
Thanks for sharing your experience Dave. The total eclipse was truly a sight to behold, and I'm amazed at your dedication to traveling halfway across the country to see it while I was fortunate enough to only have to step out into my back yard. Hopefully Indy didn't embarass itself during your brief visit!
Full unedited voluntary screams for top tier patrons please😂
Joy verbalizing “I want to laugh” is so fascinating and I really relate. It’s like watching a magic trick, reality has been shattered.
Ive always believed that izzys book wasnt fiction. Its my opinion that she was approaching enlightenment as she was dying. She wasn't hallucinating the things she saw. She was actuslly peering into and communicating with the next world because she had come to embrace death in this one. She was writing about real past lives.
"In this description of this vlog - Dave talks about himself in the 3rd person..." - I love the clips of Dave screaming!
I could have driven a fairly short distance to be in the path of totality, but it ended up being completely overcast here, so I didn't bother making the trip, as I would have been pointless. Pretty disappointed I missed out.
Seeing the totality made me understand why some civilisations sacrificed a few people to appease the gods. Imagine not knowing why it happens and seing the sun becoming black...
Long time fan, Dave. I was so happy to hear that you would be seeing this so you could share your experience with all of us. I saw 2017 in Casper, Wyoming and knew immediately what I would be doing in 2024. I was lucky enough to get to Hot Springs, AR to view it this year. So great to see you experience it with your wife and friends.
Love it!
The place where I was we all broke out in applause when it happened too! Such a great moment!!!!!
you have sold me on going to see a total solar eclipse! loved your reaction!
"I remember screaming involuntarily" is an amazing quote of this experience and you and your wife- I can't! I CANT!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us!! I'm in Vancouver BC so out of the path, but I enjoyed seeing all the footage!
This is AWESOME... thank you so much for sharing... fantastic and so happy you had that experience!
Hey Dave, long time follower. I'm so happy you made the trek to see the eclipse! I was lucky enough to be able to walk out my front door and stand in my yard and see the totality. It was absolutely incredible. The photos do not do it justice for sure.
Totally agree. We flew from NJ to Texas to see the eclipse in totality.
The craziest thing about a total eclipse is how unlikely it is that our moon is exactly the right size and distance from us and the sun for this to even happen.
Loved this! We had a similar emotional experience when we saw the eclipse in 2017 in totality. A primal experience, strangely felt to connected to humans from the very distant past who must also have experienced such awe. We also involuntarily screamed! ❤ - Ann
I so appreciate this description since even though I was under the totality near Lake Ontario jn Westernmost New York we were under total cloud cover so I missed that emotional response. Thanks for sharing your emotional reaction so I can vicariously experience it too.
I was also lucky enough to see totality. I found it to be an incredible, indescribable experience - but really enjoyed getting see you do your best to explain it. What struck me is that no photos or recordings I could find online came close to approximating what I saw with my eyes. Have you been able to find anything that adequately shows what you saw? I’m deeply frustrated that I have no way of referencing one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen other than my flawed, decaying memory.
So glad you got to experience this, thanks for sharing this video.
Oh, My! Oh, My! Thank you for bringing us the experience, David.
Really enjoyed getting to see happy David Chen!
My favorite eclipse comparison I’ve heard: Seeing a partial solar eclipse is like riding in an airplane while being in the path of totality is like jumping out of the airplane.
Oh the puns. "We're in Indiana"..."flat earth(ers) as far as the eye can see".
"Life changing Astrological event" hehe...your zodiac sign is showing. :P
Wow! Thank you for sharing!
It is such a special experience...Thank you for articulating why.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience!
What a wonderful reaction! Love your wife reacting to you! lol
I came here to enlighten one of you. This movie is based off rosicrucian beliefs and teachings. The initiated can see just the spaceship and know what it really is.
He did not die. Theories are fun but why does there have to be a theory about everything. Maverick isn’t washed up. He refused to be promoted because he wants to keep flying.
Awesome rsview, plz review all movie x rewards
This video is so underrated! Great explanation, mate!
So that Tom in space is his form trying to reach enlightenment but I always thought right before he is able to reach it he is reborn once again and has to start his human journey over… same with the tree of life. He was granted access to the tree but his greed and hunger led to his death
After this call from Netflix I am deleting my account and use other apps am not paying
any morden led TV is better and projector image, no matter how expensive projector is, is washed out when compared with TV
Everyone it’s bad because someone famous said it was so it’s their job to follow their god to look cool. I really really loved that movie. 9/10
Always thought 3 should've been split in two films
It feels like the original sin of The Rise of Skywalker is THE original sin... Ego... If the film can have so many dedicated, skilled artisans work on set design, costumes, practical and special effects, music and sounds, etc., why can't Abrams and Kennedy assemble as skilled a story-crafting team to sift through the good, the bad, and the terrible of plot and script?!? Let this be a lesson to all of us who are in positions of leadership--artistic and otherwise--don't go unchallenged!
Wow! Well I’ve been hung up on Hondo, a CWO, who: runs a test flight, helps with special mission training, part time drill instructor, is at CIC for a TS mission, is a lineman and is on the recovery crew during emergency trap. Whoever thought that WAS in a dream state. Someone didn’t know the scope of CWO duties or flagrantly disregarded. (Real CWOs are great, but not wizards).
