The Film Theorists

Hello Internet and welcome to... my YouTube blog again.  This is the same intro because it's the same YouTuber, Matthew Patrick.  This is his second channel on YouTube, and it is just as good.  This channel is called The Film Theorists.  This channel makes theories about films and occasionally other YouTube videos or channels.  The Film Theorists has over 7 million subscribers, and he has uploaded over 160 videos onto this channel.  Some of my personal favorites are:

1. Wall-E's Unseen Cannibalism
In this video MatPat takes on one of his favorite movies- Wall-E.  Wall-E is a movie about how humans abandon Earth when it becomes unlivable.  They leave to orbit space while robots clean up the earth.  Eventually the main character, a robot named Wall-E, falls in love with another robot named Eve, but MatPat doesn't focus on the love story.  He focuses on the humans in space.  The humans were only suppose to be in space for 5 years, but ended up staying for about 700 years.  Because of this time span MatPat wonders what they have been eating, and he sets up a very convincing argument for the contents of their food being cannibalism.  This is my  absolute favorite film theory of Matthew's, and it makes you think deeper into the contents of programming.

2. Don't Hug Me I'm Scared
Don't hug me I'm scared is a YouTube series that has a childish look to it with a dark twist.  When first viewing it, it is difficult to understand, as it looks like a Sesame Street episode flipped on its head.  MatPat takes this series and analyses it as he tries to create some understanding for it.  And boy does he.  He creates a theory that is super easy to believe and explains the theory very well.  This is my favorite film theory series that Matthew has done.


3. Elsa's True Enemy

This film theory is based on the movie Frozen.  In the movie Frozen the villain is thought to be Elsa's fear, but in a twist ending it turns out to be Hans who was potentially Anna's love interest.  Well MatPat has another reasoning.  He believes that Hans is not the villain and is actually a victim of the TRUE villain- the trolls.  It seems very far-fetched, but after watching the video the theory becomes very convincing.

4. Salad Fingers
This last theory is another series.  This series is about the YouTube series Salad Fingers by David Firth.  Salad Fingers is a series that is so confusing that it is very difficult to create reasoning for it.  But of course Matthew is able to create a theory that is not only creative but very believable.  MatPat's theory for this goes beyond any theory he has ever done.  The ability to take something this confusing and create a believable theory is almost impossible, and MatPat is able to do the impossible.  This theory shows the best of MatPat and really shows how amazing of a theorist and creator he really is.
