Adam does movies live? Is it a Tuesday? No, it's a Friday. Wow, this week has been something else. This year has been something else. We're about ready to polish it off, with just a few days left. And I changed my camera setup. I'm kind of like shallow sinking into the floor, but we'll get it figured out for the next year. I have new title cards planned. I got a lot of ideas in the Dennis Hopper. We'll get to them. Little bit of housekeeping before we get to the main punchline here, which is the top 10 movies of 2023. These are the movies that for me kind of went above and beyond the expectation. Again, I have to, the caveat's always in play. These aren't the best movies of the year just full stop. These are the movies I like the best. These are my best movies of 2023. I didn't see some of the Oscar bait that came up. I did not watch Maestro yet. I have not seen the Holdovers. I know I was told to watch. It's not playing at the Regal by me, so I'm out of luck there. There's a few other ones that I just haven't gotten to because 5,000 movies were released in the last three weeks. It's absurd. I didn't see Ferrari. There's just too much. There's too much. This is not the be all end all. It's just my all. Okay, and that's good enough. Super chats with the name of the game. I'll get to them periodically, but for the most part, we're gonna push through this list, get it right. Let's do the housekeeping before we really fire things up. I hope my audio's on. Did I turn my audio on? Okay, we did that. That's good. Upcoming projects. Number one and the one that matters most to my heart. Finishing my movie script. I am on page 70 of 90. And I got the ending done. So the beginning, middle and end is completed. Now it's just icing on the cake. Now's the fun part. I get to go and flesh out some of the events, add some scenes if I want, put in some more jokes, some more character development. And then I can step back and I can just reflect and say, you know what, this is it. The hard part's over. Now the easy part of getting a green lip by a studio for millions of dollars, getting it shot and out the door. It's all candy now. Another thing coming up for patrons and YouTube join members. I said patrons, it's Patreon, but you're patrons, it's messy. I have a thing I did with Tony from Hack the Movies. You may have heard of a little channel. It's quite a bit smaller than mine. They're almost at 60,000 over there. That's fine. Good for them. Tony did a commentary track with me. Actually, it's the other way around. I did it with him for his Patreon users. And he said, Adam, Booby, you can use this on yours as well. And that was like a month ago. So I did get that. I wanted the video for Batman Returns. He sent it to me. We talk over the whole video. And my audio was not set up properly. So it sounds really crisp and clear for about 95% of it until Tony said, Adam, I think you're speaking through a fish bowl. I said, oh yeah, my mic is not set up properly. It was doing a multi-channel instead of singular towards me. But we got it figured out and still fun. Look for that in a day or so. And I said that was gonna be up two weeks ago. But look for it in a day or so is the new one, I'm saying. I also have an additional perk. Oh, by the way, that's for $10 an up user. Sorry, gotta give some breadcrumbs here and there. There's gonna be one for everyone though. And this is also gonna be exclusive to Patreon and YouTube join members, which is a myth roll request for the TV show. Everyone's been waiting for me to talk about final space. Yeah, I don't know. I'd never heard of this.  And then I found a link that took me to it.  It was to a final space stream of the first three seasons. I watched the first full season and I put my review out. It's gonna be up probably tomorrow or the next day along with that commentary. They're both gonna be there at the same time, I promise. That will be for everyone over on Patreon and YouTube join. Okay, third thing, what do I have here? That may, I guess that was the third. Fourth thing, the last Jedi, Jan Rose request, also myth roll, it's coming tomorrow. I have filmed it, I have edited my portion and now I'm just peppering in all the footage. A lot of video footage to go in. It's gonna clock in around 30 minutes. This is a big one. This is a big one. Next week, the goal is still to get the matrix four roast out, might not happen, probably won't happen. But that's the goal. We set goals so that we can not achieve them. Okay, but we have them there. That's the carrot. It might be two weeks from now. And then there are more roasts in the future from myth roll members because that's the perk there. If you're a $30 myth roll member at Adam Does Movies Patreon or YouTube Join, every so often you can say, Adam, I want you to roast this film from a list that I have. It's a good time for everyone involved, I think, mainly for me. But one more thing, sorry, and then we're gonna get to the list. Lastly, lastly, lastly, I put out a worst of 2023 on the Tuesday livestream where I was dying and barely cognitive. This time around, I feel fresh as a Daisy. So we'll take our time a little bit more. But I know a lot of people don't like watching live streams. They wanna get right to it and that's fair. I'm that way. So I will also create a video or two, I haven't decided if I'm gonna split them or keep them as one of the best and worst of 2023 from my perspective. So look for that video before the beginning of next year. A lot of stuff on the horizon. I will be after this going on Twitch separately tonight. And I'm planning on actually editing some of my new bumpers for 2024. That's the goal, it's just work. It's all business tonight over here. All right, let's get started. I think I said everything I need to say feels like it took five hours, but we're eight minutes in only. So it's not that bad. We do have some super chats. So let's just get them out of the way right now and then we'll take a little break and intermission or something later. But they are coming in pretty hog wild. And we have one from Hack the Movies. Speaking of Hack the Movies, Tony from Hack the Movies shot out of a cannon, says Adam. I can't wait to hear you pick a shutter movie as your number one and talk about it for 15 minutes. I don't think I actually mentioned.  I didn't say that I was on Tony's channel yesterday for two and a half hours talking about all the movies that came out in 2023. Scratch that. Talking about some of the movies that came out in 2023 during the prelude. Scratch that. Talking about movies that went to shutter exclusively and then randomly a couple more movies.  It was fun as heck. If you haven't checked that out, I encourage you to go watch that live stream maybe tomorrow, not right now. Please don't watch it right now.  We had a good time. I was very saucy in it. I was a little maybe a chromogeny, little bitchy, and that's okay. Thank you, Tony, for the $10 and for being a great friend this year. What a fun relationship we have. Did he give me another one? Two more dollars, Maestro. Is that a movie about Bob Cobb? That's a Seinfeld reference. I love those Seinfeld references. Tony and I mentioned about doing a Seinfeld video of sorts. We both have movie channels. It's in the name, Hack the Movies, Adam Does Movies, Adam Does Tony Does Movies, Does Adam. It's a whole thing.  I don't know if we make it an exclusive to Patreon or something, but Tony and I, we really do need to have a three hour live stream where, or maybe a commentary track where we just go through every season of Seinfeld. You know what? We should do nine episodes commentary each season go through the episodes. I think that would be a ball. We could just, you know, I know Seinfeld front and back pretty much except for maybe season one, that's a little rocky road, but I could easily do that from memory. King Cold for $5, thank you, King. You do look slightly closer to the camera than normal, LOL. He's laughing loudly about that. Oh, good commentary on Batman Returns. Thank you, King Cold. So he must be a Hack the Movies Patreon. So he got that already because Tony is actually doing things.  Woo, wiki-wa-wa, wiki-wa-wa. She did the Will Smith in my mind. So excited for the last Jedi. I've been waiting for it. I appreciate all the hard work you've done. You're awesome. Keep it up. Happy New Year. And I hope 2024 brings a lot of success. You deserve it. Thank you, Jan. Very much. We have one from Brian Davis for $10 more, a gorgeous super chat for 10. Brian's been a champion this year. Shot out of a cannon, and Adam is back at it after enduring a three-hour marathon of randomness on Hack the Movies livestream last night that I haven't even finished watching yet. Flood of content, folks. It's everywhere. And today, today I was with a fan. The kids and I went out. I taught my daughter a little coding at a coffee shop, and my son's into editing. Connor, also out of a cannon from the top rung, he's working on his own YouTube channel where he draws anime and then comments over the top of it. It's kind of like a speed-drying, top-down view. And then he's going through the character and what it means to him. It's very Dragon Ball-centric right now. He's really into Dragon Ball Z. Thank you, Brian. Yeah, I've been busy. Doing a lot of different things. King Cold for $5. If I wanted you to watch season nine of American Horror Story 1984, what would be the best way to go about it? Just a little specificity. I don't know if there is any way to go about it anymore, King Cold, because the Mithril perk now and even like the 100 unobtainium, that $100 unobtainium is probably the way to do it if you really want to throw that much money away. But really the Mithril stuff got so random with movies. It was actually hurting my channel whenever I would put a review out. Plus it just took a lot of time and I'm really trying to buckle down and focus on just doing movie content and really building the channel.  Obviously not compared to a lot of big channels, but for me, the growth has been freaking awesome. So I don't know what to tell you, King Cold. American Horror Story, I've watched a few of them and every time it's like they have one or two or sometimes three or four really good episodes or a solid start and they just botch it by the middle and by the end I don't even finish it half the time. All right, thank you. And I apologize for not really giving you much help there. Daniel Faw. Is it Faw? I think so. $2, Adam, you are famous now. Tony Helped, of course. Yes, Tony. If you don't know Tony, he's incredibly famous. Just ask him. He was a extra in The Dark Knight Rises. You can see him in row triple J in the back. You might be able to make out a blur of him if you watch The Dark Knight Rises with super zoom and ability. He is very popular though. Alex Dothright for $5 Canadian. We accept that here. Thank you, Alex. Best for me. He's going to list off his three since I haven't even talked about mine yet. Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3. Killers of the Flower Moon. And the Holdovers. There's the Holdovers. I didn't see it. What's that? What was that other movie that came out? Just Pretty Things? I didn't see Pretty Things either. That wasn't playing. Regal sucks, man.  We got one more. And then we'll jump into the conversation. Oh, and many. Beautiful. Super chat for $10. Some of the movies this year I've rated five or 4.5 stars on Letterbox. Have been Blackberry. Are You There, God? Oppenheimer. Across the Spiderverse. Dead Reckoning gets a five or a four and a half. That's amazing. And there it is. Past Lives. Love the content. Oh, and you saw more random movies than I've even heard of. I don't know what Blackberry is. I don't know. Past Lives, I think was up for a couple awards, I believe. But I haven't seen three of those movies that you listed. So good for you.  I saw Winnie the Pooh, Blood and Honey. I can tell you that much. That's what I watched. All right, let's get into my, I would say kind of hot take. Some of these are spicy. Some of these are going to be head scratching for people. But this is where we're at. And I'm going to stick with what I have here. Number 10 on my list. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Mutant mayhem. I took this, I went with this with my kids. We all had a really good time. It was kind of a return to form to the old school Ninja Turtle ways. They seemed like teenagers for once. I loved the voice acting. The villains were great. They even managed to make it cool without throwing shredder in there or the foot clan, which was truly impressive. I loved that spider verse has opened up this resurgence, this new renaissance of animation. And all these studios, Sands Disney are on board and they're doing it. It's got this 3D 2D visual style to it. I love the plane with the different FPS, the frames per second. It's all over the place and it works. The music was great. The setting was fantastic. Visually stunning. There's a couple moments in the film where I was just, I was a gas thinking, wow, this is storyboarded to Helen back in perfection. I love the wide angle shot of the turtles busting through mob areas and it keeps cutting to the different turtles doing their flair, their style. I was big on this. I liked it. I expected it to be decent, but it truly impressed me. And that's why it made the list at number 10. And it's not the only animated film on here. Let's go to the next one. Oh, we did not spend, according to Tony, you need to spend about 10 to 15 minutes on each one of these so that you get the monetization when you, when you split them up for clips. I don't do that. We're moving on.  I also don't have a panel of people with me, which is going to save a lot of time. In the number nine, what is this a freaking animated family affair we got going on? Another animated film, Puss in Boots, The Last Wish. Where did this come from? What is going on? Why is there a freaking DreamWorks animated film about a cute lovable cat voiced by Antonio Banderas on the list?  I saw this on a whim. I was amazed. I was shocked when I took my son. I believe we were in Minnesota at the time still. No, we wouldn't.  No, we weren't in Minnesota. We were in South Carolina. Maybe I was back. I feel like I saw this at the Mall of America or something random, but that can't be it. I guess we just went on a random Saturday morning. You know what? It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter when I saw it. I went, I saw it. Connor's watched it a couple of times since. He's all in on this Puss in Boots last witch situation. I thought the, I thought Banderas still had it. I love the concept behind it. I love the idea that the fear of death itself is stocking down Puss in Boots. And he's in a hiding. He's already given up eight lives. He only has one to spare. It humanizes. It catanizes our furball protagonist. And it gives us something to fear for himself.  I wish we'd have got more of him because then we kind of jump into the, what is it? The thumb dude. I can't remember his name, but he dips it in the pie. Some random obscure character. That's really fun. What they did with him as well. And then you have Goldilocks and the three bears tracking our cat. There's just a lot of fun, different elements at play and little stories that all really culminate to a great final act. But it's that first two thirds that really hits the hardest for me. And I, I thought the animation was amazing. Again, it's another one where it's definitely inspired by Into the Spider-Verse. So we owe a lot to Sony animation studios for what they were able to do with some of these other studios. Okay. Just giving them a push saying, Hey, you know what?  Let's go a different direction. Let's try something fresh. And Puss in the Boots was definitely that. And especially coming off of a very generic previous entry. Yeah. Very impressed. In the number eight spot. All right.  We have a hard, well not hard. It's an R rated film. We have Evil Dead Rise the fourth. Fourth entry, I think maybe fifth. I'm not sure there's a TV show as well. No Bruce Campbell in this one, but there's tons of blood, tons of Gore and it's all isolated to this one apartment building. It's really kind of a bottle episode where they're all just, this family is stuck in this apartment. The mom gets taken over. She's possessed by the book and everything is off the rails. There's a cheese grater to the legs. The mom's crawling on the ceiling. There's a chainsaw of course at the end. Bloods shooting out of the back of a vehicle. It's disgusting. It's funny though. It still has that twisted dark playful side that I love.  I can't remember the specifics, but his eyeball flies across the hallway and into his buddy's mouth. Swallows another guy's eyeball. It's glorious fun. It's disgusting fun and I'm here for it. Other things about this one, practical effects. It felt very grounded in a sense. Obviously it's over the top spectacle and Gore, but I liked that everything seemed like weirdly plausible.  The makeup was really good. There were stakes and tension in this movie that often seemed to go missing in a lot of new age horror where you can see it's mainly CG monsters running around and I'm just not impressed. I'm not scared by that. Evil Dead Rise, definitely a highlight for me. I think that's the only horror movie that made the list. Although there were a couple that I was impressed with this year. This one came out really early on in the year, I believe air directed by Ben Affleck. It's a Mad Damon joint. You got Matt and Ben back again doing their thing. Jason Bateman's in this. It's really just a boys club over at Nike. They're having a hard time selling shoes. These were the top dogs, but now they're dropping a third or fourth place and they might even have to get rid of the damn line altogether. The basketball line of shoes is floundering. It's borderline out the door. And so this is the true story of a couple of guys. Matt Damon specifically is character. I'm not going to be bothered to give you the actual name of the character, but he's going to come up with this crazy idea to sign Michael Jordan, who is not even anything at this point. He's nothing but a great college player that has a ton of potential. And so they think they can get this guy secured and hope that he has a legacy that lasts for a while. And boy, did they bet wrong, right? I mean, Michael Jordan is ladies.  Obviously joking Jordan's a legend. And so this movie just really has fun. Not showing Michael Jordan at all.  It would almost be, it would take you out of the picture if you got someone that looked like him, but isn't him. I agree with the approach Affleck took by just keeping him off camera or just showing the back. But I love this movie and how it was really focused on the business and marketing side of things. Viola Davis plays Jordan's mom. She's a beast as always, freaking vicious. And she's a great negotiator. It does a great job also of showcasing just how cool Jordan's parents were and how much of a bulldog his mom was in making sure Jordan got the best possible deal in the world. No one has ever got an endorsement like Jordan got. And it would set the stage for black athletes and, you know, athletes of any color going forward. But race is of course a big factor in this because of just, I mean, it's basketball. It's predominantly black athletes that often get a bad end of the deal when it comes to some of these signing contracts. So this really took Nike in a different direction. And it would set the stage for other basketball organizations and signing contracts going forward.  I do visual communication. I do web design and development. This whole movie thing is not my day job. This is not the job that puts food on the table for the family. It's just a big passion project for me that's helping make a different income to keep my wife home because, you know, she's got stuff going on and to provide. So that's what I do it for. But I really dig this marketing angle and Mad Men promised that, but then it kind of turned into just a lot of drama and a lot of sleeping around and all the side stuff. And I was bummed because I really liked the marketing angle. And so air provides that to a T. Big fan of this film. I highly recommend it if you slept on it. One, two, three, four, five. I think we're on the five spot. Six, seven, eight, nine. Good. I did do the math correctly. I did count to 10 correctly.  Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse. This is the last animated film on my list. There's three animated movies on my 2023 best of lists. Can you imagine? And they all kind of look similar in a way. Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse was a very, very good film. And it's a part one, which is the only reason why I got a little sour on it towards the end because it feels like it kind of goes on a lot longer than it should. And right when it's going to hit that peak crescendo, it pulls the rug out from under us and we're left there salivating, waiting for the story to continue.  He's having to deal with all the conflict and all the fallout of the fact that he's kind of a mistake. With all the different things going on in this, this tapestry, this web that was spun, somehow Miles came into existence.  He's Miles Morales Spider-Man. He's not the true Peter Parker. And this movie goes all in on that concept. Everyone else is a variation of Peter Parker. There's only one Miles in this. And so that's really the central core of this thing. But I love the family dynamic of it. I like that he has this relationship with his mom and dad. That's dicey, but obviously there's a lot of love there. And over the course of the film, it's going to grow even stronger. I think I like into the Spider-Verse more than the sequel, which was also one of my films of the year when that came out. But this has potential to get elevated even higher if that third entry knocks it out of the park. Now, we could have the problem where it could fall in its face. And then I do think it does a disservice to this film because this is very heavily reliant on a conclusion that hasn't happened yet. But as it stands, we have all the superficial things I can brag about, the wonderful visuals, the fact that they go in several different directions with the art style, which is both a pro and a con for me. I like the look of a lot of it. But I do think because they're so free flowing with some of the visuals, Gwen's world looks a lot different than, you know, Miles Morales world, which looks a lot different than the Indian Spider-Man. I forgot his name. He was a highlight for me. Because there is a disjointed look, sometimes the cohesion is not quite one-to-one. There is a little bit of a separation that can throw you. But for the most part, visually stunning. And I just, I really don't have any complaints about it. Even the runtime being two and a half hours or almost two and a half hours, whatever it is, it is long, but it feels earned. It feels earned. And I feel good about this being at five. We have a super chat to kind of break it up. Let me take a drink because I feel like I've just been talking like crazy. Just a water break real quick. Come off, come on the bench for a second. Master Sergeant for $50.  Oh, here we go. Rebel Moon was awesome sucked. Awesome sucked. He led me there. But then we knew where he was going, because Master Sergeant's made it clear. He's a Snyder fan. He was kind of part of the Snyder cult, but he walked away. He got out of that horrible place. And now we can just take these movies as individual pieces of art or in the case of Rebel Moon, a piece of shart, because that movie sucks. Also, I win, he says, beat $50, folks. He puts down the mantle, the mallet. What is it? What's it called? You strike down with something. He's throwing something down and he's saying, come get me. $50 is tough to beat. Master Sergeant, you've been awesome this entire year. I don't think anyone can really compete at this point. But I appreciate all the awesome super chats and support, sir. And yeah, the nuke, shot off of a nuke. We'll have to come up with something that's more powerful than the cannon that can make any sort of sense. But I appreciate it. Thank you very much. We have one more here. Dieter Bastion, baby, for $5, funny money. Thanks, Adam, for an entertaining year with all your good and bad takes. Ooh, the bad takes. I don't know if I like that. And all the other stuff, pool watch, Lego camera build, a funny commercial. Dieter, I think Dieter's the one that sent me a link to, he had a conversation on a podcast with a guy, and they were talking about Godzilla minus one. Dieter, if you're not the dude, I apologize. I thought you were though, because you said bad take, which makes me think you're referring to Godzilla minus one. Godzilla minus fun, as I like to call it playfully. He went on this podcast and I watched the couple minute clip. He sent me and the dude's like, or Dieter's like, yeah, Adam didn't like Godzilla minus one. He dropped the rotten tomato percentage. And the other guy looked like he wanted to kill me. Like he was going to lose it. He was just flabbergast. He's like, what? I'm sorry. Why didn't he like the movie? What is wrong? Why didn't he like this? And Dieter just kind of like threw me under the bus. He didn't really have a reason. He's just like, yeah, I didn't like it. I don't know. I mean, I don't know. I don't know why he didn't like it. He just, he didn't like it. And the other guy just looked pissed. I was laughing pretty hard. So thank you, Dieter. I appreciate that. Adam, yeah, he just didn't like it. He didn't like it. I don't know. I don't know what's going through his mind these days. He's completely lost it. Speaking of rotten tomatoes, let's get to the number four spot. Four, three, two. Wait, what? Is this right? Four, three, two, one.  Wait. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five. Four, three, two, one. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five. Okay. I'm in the five spot now. I just was, I was wrong on my math before. Everything I said previously is wrong. This is five. So Spider-Man and the Spider-Verse was six.  I think at like 58% or something. It's not fresh. It's rotten over there. Half the critics over half did not like this movie or they didn't like it as much as they liked it, I guess would be more apt if we're going to use dumb words, which I tend to do. I love this movie. Yeah. I can see why maybe critics were eye rolling over it because it's your kind of stereotypical 90s throwback film where a bunch of guys pick themselves up and they get the job done rowing boats for a college. It's a, it's a poor college going up against the Yale's and all these Ivy League schools. You have University of Washington students who are basically living out of their cars. It's during the depression. These guys have nothing to their name. So they're going to get out there and they're going to prove it to not only their, their town, they're going to prove it to their country. They're going to prove it around the world because they're going to be going to the Olympics. It's a feel good story, but it's got a lot of drama. It's got a lot of your traditional things you find in movies like iron will a league of their own cool runnings, just movies about guys that chips are down, build themselves up. They build each other up. They each have their individual struggles. They have the relationships. They have their battles on the field and off the field. It's got inspiring music. It's got fantastic cinematography directed by George Clooney whose previous movie I could not stand. He's probably done a few, but the only other one I remember him in remember him. I mean, the only one I remember him directing was good night and good luck. I think it's what it's called. It was a black and white artsy fartsy thing. Not my cup of tea hated that film. So naturally it won a bunch of awards or it was nominated and people loved it and they smelled their own farts over it. I couldn't stand that film. The boys in the boat more my cup of tea is a basic. Yeah. But you know what? I'm okay with basic once in a while. I miss basic once in a while, especially when so movies these days have 15 different plot lines that don't really add up or make much sense or they're just throwing out noise at you constantly without a satisfying conclusion. The boys in the boat simple, straightforward, feel good inspiring film based on a true story. How based it is. I don't know. I think it's actually based on the book, which is based on the true events. So you have a couple of layers here. I get, I give it a shot.  Check out the boys in the boat. I think you'll be happy with it. So now we're at four. We're at four. Guardians of the Galaxy volume three. It feels like this came out seven years ago this year. Where's it? What's been going on with this year? Guardians of the Galaxy volume three, the final chapter for the guardians, at least under James Gunn, as far as I know, James Gunn's moved on for Marvel. He's, he's over at the DC world now doing his own thing. Restarting Superman from scratch with legacy, but he left a legacy behind and he left the last great Marvel movie behind over for the MCU at least of now. And that's Guardians volume three. I think this trilogy is about as perfect as it can get. There are not a lot of movie trilogies that stick the landing quite like this did for me. You look at even the Christopher Nolan films. I think Batman begins is okay. I'm not huge on that movie. Dark Knight I think is peak. And then Dark Knight Rises is a solid conclusion that gets a little goofy at times, but still, still very much a cool movie. X-Men drops the ball by the third one. Blade drops the ball up a cliff by the third one. It's, it's rare when it works all the way through Iron Man incredibly inconsistent with a great first act, a super stupid second act and a middling third that I enjoy, but I know it didn't land for everyone. We go to Guardians though. Some people don't like the second one. They think it's a little too goofy. I think that's right where it needs to be.  Yes, some of the jokes undercut some of the drama, but this time around that's not a problem. In fact, it's, it's maybe a problem that it doesn't because this is a very sad, dire movie. A lot of the time he films it in a way that does feel distinctly separate from the first two. It's a lot more gray. It's a lot more somber in both visual tone and communicated, communicated, communicated, communicated, communicated, communicated, communicated, something else, something with the word communicate and a communicative. We'll get there. It worked though. I love this movie.  It was sad. He always does such a good job, James Gunn, of making me care about things that shouldn't really mean much to me.  And shout out to Pratt, who often gets criticism for his voiceover work. That's fair. But damn it, he brought it here. The tears looked real. The emotion was raw. It was untethered. I was all in. I freaking love that scene where he's yelling over his buddy rocket as he's dying. There's some great shots in this movie too, some really creative shots. One where Gamora is just chilling in the cockpit of the plane and you can see the Drax and Mantis driving by through the road, through the window of this cockpit. And the way he shot this was just really unique. And it looked real. Something that most MCU movies nowadays forget to do. Make the movie feel real. Ant-Man and the Wasp quantum shittier. Whole things in front of a soundstage green screen. I felt nothing through the whole movie. It's just a bunch of clowns jogging in place with stuff kind of getting animated in behind them. The same thing with Thor, Love and Thunder. It's embarrassing how little they care. James Gunn puts in the work in these movies and it's up there. You may not like them and that's perfectly fine, but I don't think people can deny that the passion's on display. Whether it lands, that's personal opinion. I love this movie though, really dug it and a great send off. Hopefully these characters don't get ruined in the future without them. In the number three spots, now we're getting to, now we're getting to adult movies. Now we're getting mature. We're taking the champagne glass, smelling it and explaining what the contents are. This is Martin Scorsese folks. This is top of the line beef. Grade A. I think Grade A is the best you can get. I don't even know. I'm not a beef chronic, I love beef, but I don't have the funds to go out to a butcher and be like, give me your best cut. Here's of the flower moon. You got DiCaprio back again. You got, who else is in this? Lily Gladstone is playing the main Indian woman. She's chips are down of course, because she watches all of her family members die every few years from disease on the land or from something more, something more Maleficent. Robert Downey, Robert Downey Jr. Robert DeNiro may know something about that. He plays a friend of the tribe. Kind of, not really. Actually, you know what I said, Indian, I meant Native American, I apologize. People got upset when I said Indian last time. I did it again. It's nothing personal. I love everyone uniquely and completely. I screwed up on the terms. American Indians are on a reservation. They've had for a long time. DeNiro's there, pretends to befriend them, but really he's poisoning these people.   So he's going to use his grandson, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, to fall in love with this woman, pretend to be in love with her, and just basically use him as a means to get the money from her once she dies.   They married all these different women, these different people in the tribe just so they could take their money. The film is heartbreaking, but the emotions are real, and it was a tough watch, but it was an important one, I think, and you can tell that Martin Scorsese really enjoyed working on this. It was a passion project for him. I'm glad he got to make it, even though I'm pretty sure it bombed at the box office, or it didn't put up the numbers that it was supposed to. It's a tough movie to make money off when it costs a couple hundred million dollars, and it's a drama pick that's almost three hours long. It's just a really hard pill for people to swallow.  It is starting to get grading for others. I agree, white people suck, so I'll watch a million movies about that. That doesn't bother me. It's history. It happened. You can either choose to accept it or you can ignore it. Either way, it's fine, it's a story. I like a captivating story, and this was both. I don't need to praise the visuals. It's Scorsese. You know what you're going to get from him, but I do appreciate how they did some of the shots with the silhouette dancing through the oil, the DA gene. The look of DiCaprio was a little rough. This is a guy that's usually very nice on the eyes, so it was interesting watching him play a rough and tumble individual. De Niro put in the work. I love this performance by him. It seems so often when actors get into their twilight years, they start phoning it in more and more. Tommy Lee Jones did that for quite a long time. De Niro, though, it's like he hasn't missed a step. Freaking awesome. Yeah, this is a beautiful movie. A movie I want to watch again with my wife. She didn't see it. A movie that I definitely want to show my kids when they get older. It's just one of those films you can re-watch over and over again every few years and really take appreciation of what's going on. So, yeah, Killers of the Flower Moon, a definite win, one of the best of the year. Next up, another adult film, not in that way, another mature smart man's picture by Christopher Nolan. Christopher Nolan. Gotta say it fans here. The world is a vampire and Oppenheimer is going to drain it as he figures out how to build an atomic bomb over this massively long Barbenheimer experience. I did the Barbenheimer. I went to both movies and I'm glad I went to Oppenheimer first because it was a long, gorgeous, brutal film to see unfold. The way Nolan does his stories by a long, lengthy, beautiful music video where you got Zimmer. I don't think this is Hans Zimmer this time. You could have fooled me though. Hans Zimmer music just going through this whole picture, isolating scenes of dialogue and then boom, hitting you with that powerful score again and Nolan really loves the time angle. He loves playing with time. So this movie is jumping around between different parts of Oppenheimer's life from the past to the present. You have the trial going on where Robert Downey Jr. shows up on his game. It's nice seeing him not have to play Tony Stark for a little while again even though he was great as that. There's so many random people that show up in this movie too. Josh freaking Hartnett's in this. I thought it was Kyle Chandler. It looked a lot like America's hero Kyle Chandler but it was freaking Josh Hartnett shot out of a cannon. A lot of people like that. Killian Murphy, of course, a great performance here as the main protagonist or antagonist depending on how you want to look at him. He's kind of a bit of both. America was in a race much like it was with the moon landing. We were trying to be the first to get the atomic bomb built so our enemies couldn't use it on us first. Of course, didn't have to use the thing but that's what happened. It's a sad tragedy and the way Nolan plays that off through radio and just background TVs showing the devastation from a distance was pretty clever. I like when directors go the angle of let's take it from a ground perspective. Let's not do this big scale thing where we show what's going on over here and then over here. Instead, let's keep it grounded and focused on individual characters. In this case, Oppenheimer. So then he is just going to get things from his vantage point but it's still done in a way that just hurts. And then the hydrogen bomb would also have a little side story as well. A hydrogen bomb, I believe is they only say it's a hundred times. Is it 100 times or 10 times stronger than an atomic bomb? I think it's 100.  Regardless, I don't really feel like I can hit with either of them. So hopefully we can keep that at bay and keep that at Michael Bay. I really dig Nolan movies. That's just kind of the bottom line. He just has a way with the film. He has a way of telling a story and keeping it engaging. He could do a three-hour movie on someone just drawing a smiley face on a piece of paper and I feel like he would do it in a way that would be incredibly captivating. It's like the close-ups of the pencil. And then it does like a flashback to how paper was made and the sharpening of the pencil. I could see it. I could believe it. And I believed in this. I've only watched it once. I want to go back and watch it again. Every one of Nolan's movies, I always end up watching a couple of times. Even Tenet, which a lot of people despise. I wasn't thrilled with the first time I watched it. I went back for a second viewing and I liked it quite a bit more. Still don't love that film, but it's a lot more passable than I originally thought. And even the first time I was like, yeah, it's fine. It's cool. There's some good stuff. I don't think Oppenheimer's is best. I know a lot of people do. I put this somewhere honestly lower on the Nolan totem pole. And even then lower on the totem pole, still on a Nolan totem pole. And that's high praise. I still think prestige is up there for me. Prestige is one of my favorites. Interstellar, I think is criminally underrated by him. I think it's a brilliant movie. It's one of his emotionally impactful movies. Because sometimes with Nolan, things can feel a little too sterile as well. They can feel a little dry. And Oppenheimer can get that way. But technically it's such a masterpiece from a visual standpoint. It's hard to really argue with anything else. And for my final pick of 2023, a movie I was not expecting to love as much as I did. This is from the top rope, The Iron Claw. The Iron Claw, the Von Erich story of five brothers.  It's a very sad movie. But not as sad as a lot of people are saying. I don't think it's like depressing all the way through. There's a ton of heart in this film, ton of kindness in this film. I just, I really have nothing bad to say. A24 is so dicey for me. There's so many hits and misses, but they always go all in with them. It's never, oh, this movie was okay.  And The Iron Claw was definitely on the I freaking love this movie side of things. Over two hours long again, I think the greatest joke this entire year has been played on me. I don't know how many people have watched over this course of the year, but I've bitched like a little, like a little, I don't even know. I can't come up with a metaphor on the, I can't come up with an analogy on the fly. I've bitched like an old man about a kid getting his ball off my lawn the entire year about movies being way too long. And my top three movies are well over two hours. Two of them are like over three and a half. So Iron Claw, it's 220, I think, maybe 230. It's a long movie, but man is it good. I liked every single part of this film from the super sad lows to the super high highs. The brother dynamic in this is perfection. I believed it. You could see the love on these guys. Zach Efron completely surprised me with this performance. Yes, the wigs are hilariously bad in this. Who cares? Who cares? They have bad haircuts, they have bad wigs. It's fine. I thought maybe it was going to be artsy fartsy with the wrestling. No, they show the wrestling. They show the cheapness of it. They show the raw strength it takes.  It's all there warts and all. Someone asked me, Adam, do they like pretend that this wrestling stuff is real or do they show that it's all fake staged? They do both because it is both. Yes, it's staged. Yes, there is predetermined outcomes. Yes, they practice their moves together. Yes, they have teams that go off against each other based on popularity. But they're also giant dudes that work out 24-7, and they do have to be physically capable of taking these hits, landing on concrete and getting up and doing it again the next day. So yes, fake, but also very real at the same time.  And I'm not gonna spoil any of the sad stuff. I mean, I would encourage you to go out and watch it because it does really, it's so much more elevated than anything else I saw this year. Not only because of these believable performances, but because of how the story unfolds and how they foreshadow some things and how the dynamic with the dad and the sons plays out and even the mom kind of in the shadows, a shell of her former self. And the fact that the youngest brother is killed off camera before the movie even starts, like that's not a spoiler. That's how the movie starts out. There's a picture of the brother next to the other four. And so it sets the stage right away for yeah, this is a cursed family full of tragedy. The cursed angle is really cool as well. I don't personally believe in superstitious stuff like curses, but I do believe that people can manifest within their own wellbeing, their own psyche, kind of a curse on their own.  It's only a matter of time before it happens to be.  And that's very much at the heart of Iron Claw. There is the relationship side of things. Overall, I love this. I can't wait to watch it again.  But this movie's not bad at all. I really liked it. Nothing negative really to say, which is rare. I gave it five stars.  Okay, those are my movies of 2023. I think I spent a fair amount of time. Yeah, I've been time for almost an hour. If there's any more super chats for the year, this is the last live stream of 2023. There's going to be a little bit of a change up next year. The days will still be Tuesday and Friday, but I'm going to play around with some different stuff. I have some ideas and it's going to start up on the next stream Tuesday, if not Tuesday, Friday, but I'm really going to hopefully try this out on Tuesday, see if it works. I'm thinking of doing more of a variety type of live stream where essentially I will be a host, like a Jimmy Fallon or a Conan O'Brien. And I would go through the news of the day, the movie news that's come out over the weekend, tell some jokes, do maybe like a five minute opening monologue. And then I will have some pre-canned videos as well that will be up on the channel later, such as maybe a top five movies where someone dies by a boat. Like just some random stuff that's maybe relevant, since it's going to be January, maybe the worst movies that came out in January in 2022 or something. And then those will get introduced, they'll come up, then they'll come back to me I'll introduce the next thing. And maybe we do that three or four times. And then at the end I'll take super chats just to see how it goes. Maybe it'll just be a thing I do on Fridays. I don't know. I'm excited to try it out. Hopefully it goes over well. If not, we can go back to this. That's fine too. But I'm always looking for ways to separate myself enough from what everyone else is doing, just so that you have another reason to kind of tune in because there's a lot of content on YouTube, a lot of videos getting uploaded. And there's a lot of movie stuff too. A lot of guys in the same field as me. Some of them I've met this year, we've become good friends and I hope to do more collabs with in 2024. That's going to be a big push. But also I want to stay different. So we have the movie, we have movie roasts over here. I think that's pretty unique. The movie roasts come out a couple of times a month. Then we have these live streams, which have been awesome for 2023. And hopefully I can kind of grow that out to something even more special in 2024. With, of course, everyone's help. Okay, let's do the final super chats of the night. And then we'll be at 1030 almost. And then I'm going to jump on Twitch and do some editing. And I think that'll be kind of a fun experience for everyone that wants to join me. It's twitch.tv slash Adam does movies. If you have a Jeff Bezos subscription to Amazon Prime and Amazon Prime membership subscription, whatever. You also have a free Twitch subscription that you can use over there. Otherwise Jeff Bezos gets that money. It's a $5 month thing that's free for Amazon Prime members. So you go to Adam does movies. You go to twitch.tv slash Adam does movies.  You follow me there. And then you have to subscribe separately. And I have no idea how that's actually accomplished. I'm just telling you and then you can figure it out or Google it because that's what I bring to the table. Next year, the goal is before the live stream starts to have different videos that kind of points you in different directions. Not just a static bumper thing. Okay, let's do the last super chats and move on. Deeter Bastion for $5. Thanks Adam for the entertaining year with all your good and bad takes. Oh, I already read this one. Damn it. Deeter, you got it again. Did I read this one? Daniel Faw, Adam, you are a genuine funny and happy new years. I think, I don't think I read that one. Thank you, Daniel. I appreciate it. If I read it, you got it two for one. Matt Sclero shot out of a cannon for $9.99. I know Point Break did not come out this year. However, since you just saw it recently for the first time where would it rank on your list? That's a good question, Matt. It's not going to be above my top three. Not going to be above Guardians of the Galaxy 3 because that's the end of an era. The boys in the boat, Spider-Man. I think I could put it, one, two, three, four. I could put it in the number five spot. I could put it in the number five spot on my list, Matt. I think that's fair. And the Princess Bride, which I also saw for the first time this year and it still triggers people, even though I've now seen it, just me saying that I just saw it for the first time, it's very much a turn off for people. They're very upset with me. But I don't know. I just never saw it when I was a kid or growing up. The Princess Bride, I would probably put... I think I would put it on the list, too. It would be lower, though. It would probably go in the eight or nine spot. It would just make the list.  It's inconceivable, right, that I haven't seen it until now. We have Roger for... Oh, my God. What is going on? Roger for $199.99. Unreal. Adam... God. Okay. Adam, longtime viewer, love your content and wish you all the best in 2024. My favorite this year was When Evil Lurks. God damn, Roger. $199. When Evil Lurks. Why does it sound familiar, but I haven't seen it?  Roger, were you on the... Were you on the Hack the Movies livestream last night? Because they talked about When Evil Lurks for, like, an hour, I swear. It just never ended. When Evil Lurks, is that the shutter exclusive? You don't have to answer. I think that was the shutter exclusive. But, yeah, they seem to really like that movie. I'm going to have to give When Evil Lurks a shot, because a lot of people seem to really love it. Thank you, Roger. What an amazing super chat. You guys are awesome. Absolutely unbelievable. Unbelievable. Bubba for $199. Bubba, you don't need to be doing that. Step brother. Bubba, he's a brother. He might not be blood, but he's close enough. Here's to a new year. And also Bubba, thank you for moderating. He's not getting paid for this, guys. Bubba, special shout out to Bubba for moderating. Pretty much the entire year, since I started doing live streams, he's been freaking awesome. He texts me like, Adam, I'm going to be late. I don't know if I can make it. Like, you know, there's millions of people watching. He takes it very seriously. He's always around. It's just been great. So thank you, Bubba. I appreciate it. What a fun year it was. Thanks all to who, or thanks all who showed up in chat and made it so much fun to hang out with everyone. A great community to be part of. Happy New Year's. Thank you, Bubba. Always, always class act. Can't get over that $200 super chat. Joe Panaccio for $10. Thank you, Joe. Happy New Year, Adam. So happy I found your channel through Hack the Movies. And I look forward to what you do in 2024. What movie are you looking forward to in the new year? Nothing. I don't know what's coming out in 2024. I feel like I did a video on this. Maybe I need to do a video on this for the next live. 2024 upcoming movies. Did I do? So we have Joker 2. Oh, gross. That shitty Mean Girls remake thingy, my Bobber. We have Fall Guy, which looks all right, but I'm so sick of that trailer. It's inside out too. We'll probably be good. Our guy looks weird. Night swim. Oh my God, that beekeeper movie. I guarantee you that's going to be the Monday Mystery Regal thing. I'm just going to be miserable if it's beekeeper. That looks like hot trash. What else? Red one. Why have we not got a Hobbs and Shaw too? That's my question. Where's Hobbs and Shaw too? You know what? I'm going to say Furiosa is really got me interested because I think it looks kind of bad, but I love Mad Max Fury Road so much that I just refuse to believe that he's going to do that bad of a job with the sequel. I'm also very curious how the new Planet of the Apes trilogy is going to go. What's this new one called? Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. I'm really looking forward to that because I love that other trilogy. I'm just kind of glancing through it. I'm grazing over the movies. So Deadpool 3, of course. I love Deadpool 1 and 2. I hope it's not just a cameo show the entire time, and there's actually some substance to it, but who knows? A lot of movies I guess I'm looking forward to. There's just nothing spring to mind right away. Oh God, there's another Bad Boys movie. Bad Boys 4. Bad Boys 4 Life. Of course. Of course. Thank you, Joe. Appreciate it. Got two more here. Johnny D5 for $4.99. Thank you, Johnny. Happy New Year, Adam, for my wife and I. Thank you, Johnny D5 and Wendy D6. I don't know your wife's name, but that's going to be a placeholder. I appreciate it. That thumbnail is just frightening. Is that a gorilla with shades on it looks like? I don't know if that's a movie. Might be a movie I haven't seen. Maybe some sort of a deep cut. Jan Rose for $2. Thank you, Jan. At the end here, at the bell, Barbie, Oppenheimer, The Holdovers, and Godzilla. Those are, I assume those are Jan's favorites of the year.  That's the one she loves, of course. Jan, I'm going to tell you Barbie, I tried showing the family. I'm very proud of my review on that one. I was very mixed on Barbie. I thought it had a lot of pros and a lot of cons. And after trying to watch it again, those cons are standing out way more. I stand by what I said that movie should have been 90 minutes cold out at 90 minutes, but it's a two hour chore to sit through with a lot of good spots sprinkled in. My wife hated it. Lindsay hated it. She walked away about an hour in. Olivia, my daughter loved it. She was a big fan. So we got one. Connor, of course, girls gross, Connor tried. He's sexist. What can I say? My 11 year old is garbage. I do my best, but it's baked in somehow. He refuses. He just refuses. He doesn't think women are cool. He doesn't, uh, he doesn't, um, like the strong female leads. It's just rare when I can get him to even make a compliment. I know he's an 11 year old boy. We'll get there with him. But it's a tough uphill battle. Connor likes what he likes. And he certainly hates what he hates. He likes the anime girls though. I notice on on dragon ball in one piece. Doesn't seem to have any complaints about them. God. All right. On that note. Uh, thank you guys very much. Wow. What a night. This was a, this was awesome. What a night. Okay. I'm going to go on Twitch. I'm going to put some work in over there for probably an hour. So feel free to swing by. It's usually a ghost town, but you know, chat it up while I, while I struggled to edit some new intros. And yeah, awesome year. We'll see you soon.


Hello and welcome into the Air Camideca show. I'm Joe Wamba joined now with Air Camideca head coach of the indoor track and field teams. And coach, you guys go out and compete in your first meet of the season and a lot of success right off the bat, namely on the women's side breaking a lot of school records. Yeah, it was something that we expected right off in the bat, you know, with the women's team being a fairly young team for the past couple of years and the talent we brought in breaking the records was just one of those things was going to be a natural process of lining up doing what you're supposed to do and the records would fall. And you guys were able to do the same feet on the men's side too, breaking more records. Yeah, absolutely. A couple of records broken there and men's team has been a little bit more established, so we only knocked off two. But with what we ran, you know, we're still pretty happy with that, especially with that 4x2 record. And as we look at the checklist of things that we mentioned in the season preview video, ECAC qualifications both on the men's and women's side right out the gate. Yeah, that was a really nice thing for us to do as well, because we weren't going out there trying to do it. Again, sometimes when you force things like that, you get too caught up in the mental aspect of it. And for the kids is to go out there, compete, and have that happen naturally was a big bonus for us. And another huge bonus is getting some national rankings and extending that reach both on the men's and women's side. Yeah, that was pretty phenomenal. The Vonte Williams really surprised me. You know, coming off the football season and only getting a week off and then getting about three or four days of training and be able to do what he did was just fascinating. Watching that men's 4x2 team run the time that they ran. That game at Goosebumps, man. That was pretty exciting. And then getting somebody's woman to run some fast times or off the gate with Kimberly and Sierra running those sub 810s in the 60s was quite impressive. And Danika, you know, she kind of did what we expected in terms of putting out solid performance from the beginning. Yeah, I wanted to talk about Danika. She's a transfer freshman in her first year of eligibility and she comes out relatively new to the sport and puts up high numbers. Yeah, this was her first actual collegiate competitive experience. And you know, there was a lot of nerves there. Everyone knows who she is on the team. All the eyes are watching. She knows and probably admittedly so didn't throw as well as she wanted to. But again, strong enough performance for her to put herself in the national top list. And out of this meet, you guys get to have everybody compete and have that experience of competing in a collegiate meet. What was the overall feeling, you know, getting back on the bus and heading back home? Very exciting. You know, this was the first time where I can get on the bus and, you know, we feel really, really, really good about what we've done. Nothing, not that we don't have to work on anything but we're making progress and everything that we have been doing to this point has been going very well for us. Well, Coach, congratulations on the first meet of the year and getting those records knocked down checklist or being checked off. And it's an exciting time in the world of indoor track and field. Absolutely. He's Eric Kamadeka. I'm Joe Wamba and this has been the Eric Kamadeka Show.

Because I end up writing the statement in such a manner that I leave very little room for the proof, okay. Again it's the same age old trick I know I mean it's only two days but it's been ages it seems to me. Same trick pick out two objects and test and show that for any arbitrary object that you pick from the field say alpha, alpha v1 plus v2 also belongs to this and you are done, right. So suppose v1 and v2 belong to this set as of now w1 plus w2. It means that there exist w1, w2 such that v1 is equal to w1 plus w2 with w1 belonging to big w1 and w2 belonging to big w2 and w1 hat, w2 hat such that v2 is equal to w1 hat plus w2 hat with w1 hat coming from the subspace w1 and w2 hat coming from the subspace w2. Again look at v which is defined by alpha v1 plus v2, yeah. So this is given by alpha w1 plus w2 plus w1 hat plus w2 hat. Of course the associativity of the addition and all and distributivity over to the scalar multiplication tells you that this in turn leads to alpha w1 plus w1 hat just a rearrangement of those terms plus alpha w2 plus w2 hat, yeah which is nothing but w1 till day plus w2 till day. What is so special about w1 till day and w2 till day? Look at w1 till day, w1 till day is a sum of alpha w1 plus w1 hat, both of those elements because of the closure under scalar multiplication alpha w1 belongs to big w1, w1 hat of course belongs to w1, their sum therefore because of closure under vector addition must also belong to w1 therefore w1 till day which I am defining like so must also belong to the subspace w1 and similarly w2 till day which is this object here must also belong to the subspace w2 therefore this object v can be written as a sum of two vectors one of which comes from w1 the other comes from w2 implies v belongs to w1 plus w2 which was to be proved right. So therefore this is a subspace right the way I have defined the sum of two subspaces turns out it has to be nothing but a subspace right. So these are all new kinds of definitions and objects that you might be encountering now but this tells you that there are so many different ways of cooking up subspaces given that you start with some subspace right what their utilities will be will come across gradually in this course. Now since we are already talking about some subspaces let us put forth another claim okay I might just as we will leave the first line probably. So this is w1, w2 subspaces of subspaces of v right suppose w1 intersection w2 what can it be what is the smallest possible intersection that you can have can it be an empty set look I have already shown you that this object has to be a vector space. So if this object is a vector space at least it should contain 0. So the smallest is probably the 0 of the original vector space yeah that is a minimal intersection that they can have because both of them must at least contain the 0 in common otherwise they cease to be subspaces themselves right. So suppose this is true then for every w belonging to w1 plus w2 there exist unique w1 in big w1 and w2 in big w2 such that small w is w1 plus w2 which means that earlier we had just shown that this is a subspace but it might so happen that you pick out two objects from one from w1 and one from w2 to lead to a resultant vector which is w. Somebody else might pick out another two vectors or different vector from w1 and a different vector from w2 to yield that same vector w. But now I am saying if those two subspaces are such that they have nothing but the additive identity in common then it does not matter who picks what they will invariably end up picking the same choice.  So standard way of proving this is to assume the contrary but suppose despite this condition there are indeed two different ways of representing a vector w in the sum of two subspaces such that you manage to end up with a different w1 and w1 hat and a different w2 and w2 hat which add up to give you the same w right. So what we will do is we will assume the contrary assume contrary that w belonging to w1 plus w2 can be written as w is equal to w1 plus w2 and w is equal to w1 hat plus w2 hat with w1 w1 hat plus w1 hat plus w1 hat plus w1 hat plus w1 hat coming from w1 and w2 hat coming from w2 where w i is not equal to w i hat for sum i is equal to 1, 2. What does that mean we have from these two this must equal this right and we are saying that at least one of these do not agree because if both of them agree then it is a unique representation. So at least one of them must disagree with the other yeah. So what we will do is we will do this we will do this we will do this we will do this we will do this we will so what happens this means that we have w1 plus w2 equal to w1 hat plus w2 hat which with a bit of jugglery and adding the additive inverses on both sides of suitable terms we have w1 minus w1 hat is equal to w2 minus w2 hat is equal to p some vector to w1 hat is equal to p. So look at p closely what can we say about this vector p from the expression here w1 and w1 hat must both come from the subspace w1 sorry oh it is the opposite is it yeah w1 minus w1 yeah that is right. Anyway the point still remains that this object here belongs to what w1 and this object here belongs to what w2 right. So therefore this object p which is equal to this and therefore it belongs to w1 and it belongs to and it belongs to w2 because it is also equal to this. So therefore p belongs to w1 intersection w1 intersection w2 is it not right what is that immediately when you tell us because what is the only object living inside w1 intersection w2 by our proposition it is 0. So this implies that p is equal to 0 but if p is 0 then each of these objects are in turn equal to 0 this means w1 is equal to w1 hat and w2 is equal to w2 hat which is a contradiction because we assumed that these are indeed different at least one of them has to be different in order for our claim to hold but contradicts assumption right. So therefore in general if you are cooking up a sum of subspaces every vector inside the sum of subspaces may be represented in multiple different ways right but the moment I tell you that those two subspaces are chosen in such a manner that they are as close as possible to being disjoint. So they are connected only at the origin in some sense right that is the only thing that they share they only share the additive identity in the vector space nothing else is common. In that case this takes up a beautiful form where the sum any object in the sum is uniquely representable as a sum of two objects one coming from each of those subspaces right. So that is an important assertion and you try to notice the pattern we are using to prove these things right in each case that very important result we convinced you about the other day about how to establish whether something is a subspace and then you know things like assuming the contrary and proving these are handy proof techniques that you will encounter every now and then. Before we proceed on to another important result I am just going to make an observation not really going to prove anything but we will try to convince you through some reasoning that it is true. I am going to write down a few subspaces which I have shown are definitely known to be subspaces. Suppose you have W1 and W2 which are subspaces of vector space V so this is W1 intersection W2 definitely a subspace right observe that this object is contained inside W1 as well as inside W2. So if I am drawing up a diagram for the containment relationship I can safely say that this object at the bottom is contained in this bigger subspace presumably bigger subspace as well as this and finally all of them end up being contained inside this. Why? I mean look every subspace must contain the 0 vector at least. So every time you pick out an object in W1 alone just write that object as W1 plus 0. Now that 0 vector is contained in every subspace so it is also contained in W2 yeah. So definitely any object that is here is also contained here isn't it by the same token this. So this is a containment sort of a relation diagram that you can look at this as. So this sort of an idea has profound impacts for example I will not solve this entirely but just as an example of showing you how this sort of things are useful in inserting certain claims. Suppose you have again W1, W2 so this is like an exercise I will not solve it in its entirety but give you hints about how to do this but you definitely try to complete this. So suppose W1, W2 and W3 are subspaces of a vector space V right. Suppose I have given you this the following are true W1 plus W2 is equal to W1 plus W3. Second W1 intersection W2 is equal to W1 intersection W3 and third W2 is contained in W3. You have to show that W3 is equal to W2.  So what is the first way to attack such problems? A lot of work has already been done. If you have to show two subspaces are equal what is the technique that we should be using? Sorry both are contained in each other. Yeah already we have seen that we are required to show these two are equal and one side of the inclusion is already shown. So if we can show that W3 is also contained in W2 will be done. So as a first step I mean blind guess forget about any special techniques or tricks or anything. First step should be first logical step should be choose any arbitrary object in W3 and try to show that it must also be contained in W2 and you will be done. So what you do is choose W3 in W3. Now by that diagram that I had drawn what can you immediately say about something that belongs to W3? Where should it also be contained? Sorry yeah. So W3 again I am going to write that statement clearly which I have explained already why. So clearly W3 belongs to what? W3 plus W1. But what does this assertion tell me? This must therefore mean that W3 belongs to W2 plus W1. What does that mean? Think about it. That entire diagram the reason why I like this problem is because that diagram that I have just illustrated. If you have the picture in mind it helps you along with the proof because otherwise you might get stuck. What does this mean? Think about the definitions we have given okay. Not either this is a plus this is a sum. So where should it belong? Yeah I heard somebody say something. Why? This is a bigger set right. So just because something belongs to a bigger set should not be that it belongs to a smaller set. You have to still do some work to get there. What does this mean? This simply means that W3 can be written as a sum of two objects from W2 and W1. And what would that mean? So this means that W3 can be written as some W2 plus W1. Think about what the assertions are here right. What can you say next? What is this W2? Where is it coming from? Sorry. Where is this W2 coming from? W2 of course I mean I have not written it but if it comes to from W2 where must it also belong to? W3 also because it has been given. So therefore you take it to the other side. What you have is an object that belongs to W3. If it belongs to W3 what about this fellow? So I leave that to you as an exercise to complete okay. You just have to use these relations. Please complete this. It is very important that you do. It is an important exercise. It will help you solidify your understanding of all the discussions and about relations between these subspaces that we have had up until this point. There are several other interesting problems in the problem sheet but this you should try to complete on your own. Now we are going to make another interesting claim about the span. So suppose I give you a set of vectors which in and of itself is not a subspace. Now think about this problem constructively. You want to build the smallest subspace which is the least like the redundancy free subspace which contains at least all of the vectors that are part of that set. So what is the smallest possible subspace that contains every object in a given set? You follow? If I give you a set of vectors that in and of itself clearly need not be a subspace but you might be interested in building a subspace because you know subspaces have beautiful properties. They help us in posing problems in linear algebra in a nice sophisticated fashion. So given a set of vectors we might be interested in building a subspace out of it. How do we go about doing that? What is the smallest subspace? I can of course say oh hang on. This is part of some vector space. So let me consider the whole vector space. Obviously that whole vector space is going to contain every vector you have picked out in your set. That is a given. But I do not want so many redundancies. It might often be the case that you are cooking up a vector space out of a given set of vectors which contains lot more than what you want. You want just enough to contain every vector that is in your given set but you do not want anything more. You want to sharpen this vector space. So it turns out that here is where we have this result that the span of S is the smallest subspace containing every vector in S. So again we are going to please do not look at these proofs as some sort of exercise in futility as in they are to be forgotten. During the course of these proofs we are discussing several techniques and as you will see if you glance through your problem sheet you will be required to prove a lot of things. The way to write those proofs, the way to argue, the way to reason, the way to proceed with them the hints are laid out in these proofs that we are doing here. They may not be replicable exactly but the line of reasoning should follow along very similar lines. So, this is what we are going to now try and prove. How do we do this? Any ideas? So, yeah we, that is not very handy here. What we are going to do is we are interested in looking at this subspace which contains all the vectors in S and just about enough. So, let us take a look at all those subspaces, all possible subspaces that contain every member of S. Suppose, W i or rather this is a set B a set of all subspaces containing S. So, now observe this argument. We are interested in what exactly? The intersections, correct. So, we are interested in this. So, this is i belongs to some index set which we define as some W star. Clearly, I have left that as an exercise for you, but again it is a trivial step. As I have said finite or I mean sorry countable intersections will also lead to a subspace. So, this is a subspace. See at every step it is important to check that whatever claims we are making we have proved them or at least given you enough justification to convince you that it is so. So, the objects we are dealing with here each of these is a subspace, but the fact that this is a subspace follows from the fact that which I have not completed completely proved that countable intersections are also subspaces. So, now what does my problem reduce to? My problem essentially now reduces to showing that the span of S must be equal to this because this why my very understanding and definition is indeed. If you look at the intersection of all those sets, all those subspaces sorry which contain the set S, then you will eventually end up with the best refinement possible. So, all that I now need to show is that this W star is indeed equal to the span of S. Now, I am back in business with the usual tricks that I use which is to try and show that one is contained in the other and the other way round. So, how do I argue about that? So, again I will use that oft used term. Obviously, what is obvious? What do you think of span of S? You choose all the alphas to be 0 except 1 alpha i. It will imply that every member of the set S belongs to span of S. So, obviously, span of S contains S. Therefore, span of S is one such candidate for a W i and we know that span of S is a subspace right. So, span of S is definitely one such candidate for W i's is it not? Obviously, span of S is for some i is or can be written as span of S is equal to W i. What does that mean? When I take this intersection here, the object I end up on the right hand side is at least contained in each of them. So, therefore, if I am taking now the intersection over all W i's and span of S happens to be sitting as one of these fellows here, then this fellow must be contained in span of S because this fellow is contained in each W i you see that is the definition of intersection. When I am saying this fellow belongs to the intersection of this that means this fellow belongs to W i for every i and span of S happens to be one such W i for some i right because span of S contains every member in the set S. So, therefore, span of S definitely contains this. So, therefore, W star is contained in span of S right any doubts? Now all that I need to show is that this is also contained in this. So, I pick out any arbitrary object from here and I have to show that this must belong to this. How do I do that? So, I have to show that span of S is contained in W i star W star how is it how is it true or why should it be true? Any arbitrary object in span of S can be written as what linear combinations of fellows in right, but what does that mean? I mean this object you agree that it contains every object in S right. So, what does it mean? What can I say about this? So, consider S belonging to span of S. So, S is written as summation alpha i S i over i where S i belongs to S. What does this object belong to? Each of these S i is belong to every W i. So, each of the this element must belong to every W i know. You see the point? It is very funny sounding, but it is true right. S i comes from the set S each of the W i is contain every element in S their subspaces. Therefore, a linear combination of fellows from a subspace must also belong to that subspace. So, this must belong to W i for all i right. See once you follow the definition things become very simple. At first glance this might seem like a huge deal right oh how am I going to even see this, but once you find your steps and define your objects in the right manner things become very obvious. It is not a big proof right, but it is already done you see it belongs to W i for every i that means S belongs to the intersection of all the W i's i belonging to this index set which is nothing, but W star. So, I started with an object in span of S and I end up showing that it belongs to W star which means that span of S is contained in W star right. So, based on this here and this here it stands to reason that span of S is exactly the W i star that W star that I am looking for which is the smallest subspace that contains every element in the set S. So, that is why span is a special set ok. The moment I give you a set of vectors you cook up the span of that set of vectors and that is the smallest subspace that can accommodate all those vectors that I have given you in the set and yet also have the structure of a subspace right which this this. So, S i belongs to S, but S i is contained in S means it is contained in every W i because what is the definition of W i. So, W i is a collection of all those subspaces which contain S that means every object in S is contained in every W i. So, that means these S i's which are coming from S must be contained in every W i. If they are contained in every W i they must be part of the intersections of all those W i's that means they must be part of W star. So, every S i is part of W star, W star is a subspace. So, therefore a linear combinations of all those S i's which are coming from W star now as we have seen must also be a part of W star, but that is nothing, but S the linear combinations of those S i's. Therefore, S must also belong to W star, but S originally started with we originally started with the claim that S belongs to the span of S and now we cannot help but agree that S must also belong to W star. Therefore, any object you pick out from span of S must also belong to W star. Therefore, span of S must be contained inside W star. Earlier we have seen W star must be contained in span of S two subspaces contain in each other means they must be equal, right. So, we have already seen this W 1 union W 2 need not necessarily be a vector space, but it is definitely a set of vectors and the moment there is a set of vectors you can cook up a span of that set, but that will end up becoming a vector space a subspace, right. So, I can safely say that let us again start with that same thing W 1 W 2 these are subspaces, right and in general W 1 union W 2 the span of this, this is the vector space no doubt the moment you put this span it becomes a vector space whatever sitting inside it whether it is a vector space or a set does not matter the moment you are taking a span of something you can also take a span of a vector space does not matter, but that in itself is a vector space the moment you are acting letting the span act on it, right. So, this is our vector space the claim that I am going to make is any guesses W 1 plus W 2 beautiful relation is not it we have seen this come like a full circle now we started with intersections being subspaces then we saw sums being subspaces then we saw unions not being subspaces unless some special conditions were met then we saw this object span which was cooked up at least constructively theoretically using these intersections countable intersections and so on and now we see, but even if this object fails to be a subspace you take its span make it a subspace and that happens to be nothing but this nothing more or less than the sum of these subspaces, right. So, if you can show this in some sense we have kind of completed a study of these objects like sums intersections span and unions and the interplay between these relations and operations that you perform on subspaces, right, alright. Again standard technique for showing this equality what do you think is the standard way of showing the equality of this again containment yeah you will get bored of this by the time we are done with this course but that is the idea, right, okay. So, consider W belonging to W 1 plus W 2, okay implies W can be written as small W 1 plus small W 2 with W 1 belonging to W 1 and small W 2 belonging to W 2, right. It is already done one side is it see what can you say about W 1 it is definitely an object in W 1 union W 2 it is either in W 1 or W 2 it is precisely in W 1 same with W 2. So, this W 1 plus W 2 yeah what can we say definitely need not belong as we have seen to W 1 union W 2. However, if you allow for the span now it becomes a vector space. So, W 1 belongs to W 1 union W 2 W 2 belongs to W 1 union W 2. So, what can I say this is just 1 times W 1 plus 1 times W 2 if you think of W 1 union W 2 as a set then this comes from that set this also comes from that set yeah. So, this belongs to span of W 1 W 2 more formally speaking this is the set but is in this contained in what of course, W 1 union W 2 yeah the set W 1 W 2 is contained in the set W 1 union W 2. So, therefore, whenever something belongs to this smaller set obviously belongs to the bigger super set do not call this a vector space it is not it is not necessarily a vector space, but it is a set for sure. So, set theoretically if you see that a vector belongs to the span of a subset then it obviously belongs to the span of a super set right. So, therefore, you start with something implies that W belongs to this. So, therefore, W 1 plus W 2 is contained in span of W 1 union W 2 one side is done for the other side always remember definitions are your friends not your enemies. So, if you remember what definitions are therefore, just use the definitions that is all that you need. So, what can you say this is a set clearly at least a set unless there is this one of them contained in the other it is not a subspace it is a set. So, the moment I say that this W is in the span of this what does the span tell me. So, it is basically a linear combination of fellows in this set that is sitting inside this span yeah. So, W can be written as again recall just a while back I had written this set as a disjoint union of three sets I had partitioned this. So, I will just say this is a summation of say alpha I W I where I belongs to the index set for S 1 plus beta I just let me write this down then I will explain what this is. Let us call it beta j W hat j where j belongs to the index set for S 2 plus summation gamma k W till day k, k belongs to the index set of the set three with set S 1 being W 1 deletion W 2, S set 2 being W 1 intersection W 2 and S 3 being W 2 deletion W 1. So, what have I done because I know that at least this is a set if not a subspace. So, let us treat it as a set. So, any object that is sitting inside this set belongs to either of those three parts set S 1 or set S 2 or set S 3, but cannot belong to any two of them simultaneously. Three partitions of the set three disjoint partitions of the set clear. So, now if it yes yeah yeah. So, these index sets are not necessarily finite I mean fine linear combinations we take only finite fellows. So, if it is infinite then there are problems with other things like you know we do not take infinite even when we say linear combinations if you recall we only restricted it to finite sets. So, the set might be infinite, but when we say that we are taking objects like these those are basically finite because otherwise you have issues such as convergence and other things right. If you have infinite objects you are you are not always sure that if you are taking an infinite sum even a very you know crude thought process will lead you to believe that unless you have notions of convergence and other things you cannot talk about infinite sums. So, we only restrict linear combinations and all of these things to finite sets therein. So, everything that you can express is over a finite sum. So, finite number you have plucked out from this S 1 finite number you have plucked out from S 2 and a finite number you plucked out from S 3 because overall this W this fellow can be represented as a finite linear combination of fellows in W 1 union W 2. So, if it is a finite number then there is a finite number coming from this set finite number coming from S 2 finite number coming from S 3. So, then this carries forward right. So, what can we say about this now I am saying it is already done I mean there is this like two different ways in which you can approach this you can either put your brackets like these and say what about this fellow S 1 and S 2 that would be the part that comes from W 1 and this is the part that comes from W 2. And clearly then this fellow W has been written as a sum of two vectors one of which comes from W 1 the other comes from W 2 or it is a matter of pace really if you wish to combine this and this together then the thing inside the pink braces is something that comes from W 2 and the thing that is left behind after that is something that comes from W 1 again you know that is also an object that belongs to W 1 plus W 2 the sum of the two subspaces. So, therefore, you start with an object that is in the span of the union of the two subspaces and you end up showing that it cannot help but be also in the sum of those two subspaces. So, therefore, this containment relation that the union of W 1 and W 2 the span there of being contained in W 1 plus W 2 leads you to conclude that the two subspaces that is these two are equal. Please complete that a few lines remain to be written just formally to complete this and then draw a line and say QED. So, that is that is an important relation alright. So, we will discuss about other things in the next lecture such as linear independence and other such related notions but all in good time. So, for today let us call it to close now. Thank you.
