I DONT NEED YOU TO TELL ME ABOUT SHIT ON MY SIDE OF THE WORLD....STAY ON YOUR FUCKING SIDE, WANKER!

Growing up is understanding that Kate's moral compass will kill eventually much more people, than "unhuman" slaughtering of baron's family by Alejandro. And if you dont understand why he needed to kill all his family, so you just doesnt want to live in real life, exactly like Kate

This is a great video, and I think your points are really interesting! Not at all saying you’re wrong, but I had a different interpretation and was wondering if anyone else had insight on it. Maybe I’m just stupid, or I’m used to consuming different genres/formats of media than Sicario, but is Kate really not the protagonist? Simply because she’s in a disempowered position for most of the movie and therefore isn’t the one causing the material events depicted in the plot (like the shootout) to happen? After all, the movie’s message is conveyed through her, the conflict between her and Matt/Alejandro is the emotional stakes most of the runtime is spent on, and she is the one who changes and develops as a result of what happens. The dramatic question in the movie isn’t “will Alejandro get revenge,” it’s “will Kate’s personal morality (solving the murder house, making sure things are done by the book, engaging in transparency) win out over the corruption and impotency of the task force? At least as I interpreted it. My reading of the movie was that she is a protagonist that values honesty, accountability, and compassion. Alejandro is an antagonist to her, in that he represents secrecy, extralegality, and violence. Some of the points in this video seem to frame the drug traffickers as the antagonists, but remember - though she’s uneasy during the border crossing, her reaction to the shootout isn’t “we need to take these guys out,” it’s “what the fuck are we doing here?” In that moment, the conflict is not between her and the gunmen, it’s between her and the taskforce. The whole movie focuses on this. Kate is initially idealistic and confident, and has an inciting incident in the first act (the murder house), which drives her to voluntarily dive deeper into this world (signing up for the task force). The reason she signed up at all is because she wants to get to the bottom of the incident in the house. But immediately, we can see her begin to have conflict with the antagonistic forces in the government - Matt and Alejandro both shut down her attempts to gather information. Then she spends much of the movie digging to uncover the truth of what’s really happening on her own, talking to her partner and making plans away from the taskforce. but she faces the obstacles of getting increasing antagonism from Matt and Alejandro. We also get stuff like the interrogation, which, while obviously terrible in its own right, is framed as “stuff Kate wouldn’t like is going on behind her back.” We already know that Alejandro isn’t a fed and is willing to do bad things for his revenge - the only thing that scene teaches us is that Kate’s concerns about illegal procedure from government officials ARE founded. She keeps getting closer and closer to the truth, until eventually the climax in the tunnel happens, and she finds out everything. The main “question” of the movie is answered - the operation is a complete waste of resources and Alejandro is acting on his own. The third act features the resolution - the bad guys get what they want at her expense, and Kate realizes she’s been exploited. Then, she tries (but fails) to wrest control of the situation away from the feds by threatening to go public with what she learned. She conveys the message of the movie - that the ends do not justify the means - and is the center of all the movie’s emotional beats except the dinner scene. She is also the only one who undergoes character growth, even if that growth is becoming sadder and more jaded. At the beginning, she was enthusiastic and hopeful, and now she’s timid and cynical. Matt and Alejandro, on the other hand, are completely static and whether or not they accomplish their goals of revenge/defeating organized crime are ultimately not super important to the story. Example, while the dinner scene was amazing and bone chilling, the movie would still work without it. It just shows us something we once again already know; Alejandro is on a personal vendetta and willing to do bad things to achieve it, and the feds are supporting him. If you cut that scene entirely, the message of the film would not be changed. However, if you ended on that scene and instead cut out the part where Kate is coerced into signing, it would fundamentally change the movie’s meaning. That’s because everything the movie is trying to do rests on her, not him. Because of that, I kind of just viewed it more as a story where she is the protagonist but just loses in the end. Anyway, if you read this far thanks, I’m interested to hear people’s thoughts 😅

Most people don’t understand how cruel the world is

what an amazing video, good analysis and well executed. Good voice, good rhythm, good editing. Thanks

That walk in to the criminals house was one of the best scenes ever.

How can the cartels grow right next the most powerful country in the world without CIA' permission? This is the first lie we have been told

Bothe 1&2 are great movies

It's the movies boy don't take it seriously

Great explanation!

Who cares. No need to analyze. It’s just a good, entertaining movie.

She was one of the most annoying characters I've come across. But she was unable to ruin a great movie.

I just watched this movie for the first time and the cinematography is great but the movie is garbage. What a waste of my time.

the background music is too high in the mix 😟😟 It’s making it hard for me to pay attention

I wasn't fooled she was the idiot while adults were talking

BS from a wannabe movie man... go play with yer Lego little boy!

My grandfather used to say. "You don't get to be born in Mexico, You survive it..."

You like it or not, Sicario is a true master peace!

21:12 Let's hope it leads to another "new hollywood" kind of movies like back in the late 1960s.

it crazy that you haven't been posting for a while.. goes to show that there haven't been any well written movies that are interesting

They should have called the movie Sicario then instead of Kate... ah, wait...

Bad editing. Background music is too loud and ofc annoying as well…

Why don't you just shut up and enjoy the process ?

Dinner with Benicio is something I'm not looking forward to. 😎

Cartel Monstrous Entity with Scores like the Beast made this film a masterpiece of fear/revenge/justice.

It seems odd to me that this guy felt the need to make a video essay on something this obvious.

Great analysis. This is in my top 10 movies all time.

Kate should remember the words of the great Captain Price. "We Get Dirty and The World Stays Clean, That's The Mission".

Kate was the weak link.

they are trying to show the movie from Different points of View they are not trying to trick the audience!! one side is law obiding other side is revenge and they CLASH you put way too much though into this there nobody plotting against the audience.

🐺🇹🇷

What's the title of the movie..oh, it's SICARIO, which means 'hitman' not FBI agent.... Dare I say I wasn't fooled by this film for a moment. And try and lose that unnecessary apostrophe in the title of this video.

I enjoyed both movies and i found the acting of Benicio Del Toro great. Nice vid

Everything about this movie is elite.

wayyyyy better than the sequel

Easily in my top five films of all time.

you must be a little slow on the uptake

Really a shame to see the “it’s” typos repeatedly in an otherwise detailed analysis. It’s jarring.😕

Fooled us into thinking this was a good movie...

My question to the plot: why they have not taken the helicopter to transport the suspect?

American drug addiction is an American problem, Self inflicted. Grow up

10:03 its roots

Sicario. Man with tied face and arms on car means no face but he was some body there .....at place of him that 2011 man should die no one know all face is tied and at last dark material light due point person on nowhere on earth .......vetoed it as understood in himself............after 2011 person meets 10 years after you will say this not you was not you ...but I m......proof is there see there it was you in act

I go to the movies to have an enjoyable time and escape the daily routine of life... I don't go there to get a PHD of who or why and what for... It's just a movie... And I like all the actors in that movie...

These people live all around us.

What a poor analysis of the movie

Something off topic i often think about that relates to the narrator. He references good and evil in his closing statement. I think good and evil is often, all in perspective. Just like the crooked cop in the film, in my view he was just trying to get ahead. But from alejandros view or the feds, he was a cooked cop pushing drugs (bad guy). He never hurt anyone directly. I felt like the director was trying to confuse us on who is good and bad. Until the end he gives definitive answers. I know its a movie, just thought provoking.

Del Toro is the man! Lone wolf. Love the end scene where he gets revenge.

and this is why Day of the Soldato didn't hit nearly as hard as Sicario did.
