There have been about a half-dozen studies published on paleotype diets starting around 20 years ago. And what sounds like a reality TV show, 10 diabetic Australian aborigines were dropped off in a remote location defending for themselves, hunting and gathering foods like figs and crocodiles. In my video on Wild Game, I showed that kangaroo meat causes a significantly smaller spike in inflammation compared to retail meat. Of course, ideally we'd eat anti-inflammatory foods, but Wild Game was significantly better. So low in fat you can design a game-based diet with under 7% of calories from fat.   So how did they do? Well, nearly anything would have been preferable to the diet they're eating before. Evidently, centered around refined carbs, soda, beer, milk, and cheap fatty meat. But they did pretty good, significantly better blood sugar response thanks to a ton of weight loss. But it's because they were starving. They evidently couldn't catch enough kangaroos, and so even if they were running around the desert for 7 weeks on 1200 calories of their original junkie diet, they may have done just as well, but we'll never know, because there was no control group. Same problem with some of the other paleo studies. Short, small, no control group, but favorable results were reported.  Same with this one. 9 people go paleo for 10 days.  The longest paleo study was only 3 months until this one, 15 months, but done on pigs. It was a paleo-pig study, but the pigs did better because they gained less weight on the paleo diet. Why? Because they fed the paleo group 20% fewer calories. The improvement in insulin sensitivity in pigs, though, was not reproduced in people, though there were benefits, such as improved glucose tolerance, thanks to these dietary changes. The paleo group ate less dairy, cereals, oil, and margarine, and more fruit and nuts, with no significant change in meat consumption. A follow-up study also failed to find improved glucose tolerance over control, but did show other risk factor benefits, and no wonder. Any diet cutting out dairy and donuts, oil, sugar, candy, soda, beer, and salt is likely to make people healthier and feel better. Compare these representations of a days-worth of food on a paleo diet versus the standard American diet. Although it looks like there's a tomato peeking out behind that frosted Cheerios, the paleo diet has lots of foods that actually grew out of the ground. So this kind of paleo diet would be way better. Won't it hurt people to tell them to stop eating beans, though? Hardly anyone eats beans.  So telling people to stop isn't going to change their diet very much. I'm all for condemning the standard American diets, refined carbs, quote-unquote non-human mammalian milk, and junk foods, but proscribing legumes is a mistake. As I've noted before, beans, split peas, chickpeas, and lentils may be the most important dietary predictor of survival. Beans and whole grains are the dietary cornerstones of the longest-living populations on earth, plant-based diets in general, and legumes in particular are a common thread among longevity blue zones around the world. The bottom line may be that reaching for a serving of kangaroo may be better than a cheese danish, but foraging for an apple might prove to be the most therapeutic gavel.


emotions that you're feeling are data, they are not directives and you have to separate those two things up because some of you everything you feel you are obeying so you see emotions as instructions you see emotions as commands so if you feel it you're saying it or you're adapting your mood to it or you're rearranging your world around it or you're medicating it or you're relating from it and through it because you feel it you always see it as a directive so if I feel it I can't help it people say I can't help it I just feel this so strongly and if you feel it so strong for a sustained period it's very hard to not think that that perhaps does not belong to you

I gotta take you to the bride sign because this is adorable. This is like my favorite part. I feel like, look at this. I really wanted like the big sign, especially right by the pool. Like I get a really cute picture sitting here. So cute. Stop. Oh my gosh. Adorable. Like it's just like a cute setup. Like this house is freaking gorgeous. Like it's crazy. It's got like this little like beach theme over here. Like that's crazy. Oh my goodness. You killed it. Shout out to you. Wait, what's your name? JoJo, right? JoJo. Grace it? Jogaties. Creation. You heard it right there. But you guys go check them out. I am obsessed. You guys killed it. Like the quality, just everything looks so freaking good. It's so Barbie. No, it is so Barbie. You literally said on the phone, Barbie dream house and it is a Barbie dream house. Thank you. I literally can't get over it. Like this is like perfect. The vision just came to life.  Yeah, I know. You literally look like a Barbie.  I'm excited to see that. They're so cute. This is amazing. Guys, this is like perfect. I cannot believe how good this setup is. Like it literally came to life. I have been just picturing it in my head.  So this is crazy. I cannot believe it's actually here.  And yeah, make sure you guys follow us on Instagram and on Snapchat. That's where all the fun's gonna be. All right you guys, it is gift opening time. I'm excited. So cute. These are like the cutest hats ever. Like I'll wear these after. Like that's so cute. Stop, because I literally bought myself one of these. I bought you that. Oh it's so hot. That's crazy. No, I'm gonna wear it. I'll have two now. Great minds think alike. No, great minds think alike for real. Oh, this is cute. Oh it's just like a whole thing. Yeah that's a scrunchie. I'll turn it on. That's cute. Okay. Okay little goodies. This is like a hangover kit. I was gonna say, I was gonna say a med kit. Cute. Visions are coming to life. Oh my little stickers. Cute, these are perfect. Thank you guys. I appreciate it. Oh I love it. And then we got some food too. You guys killed it. This is adorable. All right guys, so I totally forgot to film my outfit. Which I'll show you guys when we get to dinner. But it has been crazy. I have been pulled left and right for these photos. Stay tuned for Instagram photos, they're so cute. But here's the outfit. I'll show you a better video of the outfit when I get there. And I'm gonna show you the girls outfits too. Cause they're all pink. They're different shades of pink. It's super cute. So yeah, I also forgot my camera. So I have to film off my iPhone. So I never ended up filming my outfit that I was wearing. So let me show you guys. I have all the girls wearing the pink. We went out to dinner called Rusty Pelican. It was so freaking good. And then after we went on a party bus. And then now we're going to a strip club. I really do not want to go out. I'm like so tired and like drained from how busy it's been. But I'm gonna go out and experience it. I've never experienced a strip club before. So we shall see how interesting it is. So I can see what it's all about. All right, so I'm about to open up everyone's gifts. First gift from the maid of honor. I'm nervous. First gift. I feel like it's gonna be something I don't know what to expect. Is this something that I should be filming? No. So those gifts were not what I expected, but it was good gifts. So this is the next day. I'm in my comfy pajama set. What's crazy is this was actually going to be the bridesmaids outfits, but I didn't want them in white obviously. So I changed their outfits to black. But last night was crazy. We went to the strip club. I truthfully did not want to go out, but I'm so glad that I did. It was so crazy. So when we go there, this is my first time ever being there. And it got crazy. Like, first when we got there, we were like, oh, none of the girls want us. Like, they're going up to everyone else but us. And I'm not even kidding. Two seconds later, someone pulls my chair, starts literally like gets on top of me. Bleeps in the face, kitty in the face, everything. She's like, you bride to be? And I was like, yeah. So I thought they hired her, but no, they didn't hire her. They was just crazy. They were literally just talking about how no one wants us. And then a girl came up to me and was just like grinding on me, wanted me. And then she said, you want to come to the back room. And she's like, you could bring a friend. So obviously me and Julia looked at each other and we're like, oh, let's do it. I was going to say shaking because I had no idea what to expect or what goes down in the back room. Let me just say it was an experience.  Like, it was a lot. But it was a cool experience.  Like, that is a memorable moment for me and Julia. It was hilarious. We loved it. Like, their bodies are like so soft. And I don't even understand how. Like, I know they have oil and stuff, but their bodies were like literally buttered. And yeah, it was a great night. This bachelor weekend was so much fun. I'm sorry I kept forgetting to film. It has been crazy over here. It's been nonstop. But I hope you guys enjoyed all the content. Make sure you go follow some TikTok and on Instagram because I will be posting by now all my videos and pictures that we posted on Instagram. Well, most of them I'm planning to post more in the following week for my bachelor. But I hope you guys enjoyed the video. I cannot believe I'm ending my bachelor at trip. Like, this is crazy. I'm sad. This morning we had massages and now we're about to have a bachi and I'm really excited to eat. But this is sad. I'm saying goodbye. This Airbnb was so beautiful, but it was also worth it. And I cannot wait to go home and see Bill and then our wedding's coming up. Oh my gosh. But it's time we're seeing this. We're gonna be married. That is crazy to think about. I'm so nervous, so excited. All the emotions are there. But I hope you guys enjoyed today's video and we will see you when we are married. Oh! All right, I love you guys and wish us luck.


All right. So as you might guess, wow, we're the unpopular ones because now everyone's gone. We feel the love for those of you who are here. I really miss a clip, Mike, too. I'm going to keep doing that. This is CSICon. If anybody read our abstract, it was rather interesting. But we're going to walk you through a case. And the reason why that you will be interested, first off, I just did a lot of vodka. Secondly, mixed with caffeine, it's the whole goal of forensics is the goal to prove whether... I'm going to keep doing that.  It's the goal of whether or not you're innocent or guilty. Believe it or not, we'll actually kind of go both ways. So I am Amber Schroeder. I'm from Pariban Corporation. I am not a fed. Hello. But I make a shitload of money off of them and I enjoy every minute of it. So my partner in crime, I'm Tyler and I actually am a fabulous fed. We changed it a little bit because although she does do the whole fed thing, she is quite fabulous. And she has much better fashion sense than most of them. So we kind of go for that. Just in case you guys didn't get a chance to see our abstract in the lovely little documentation, we made a movie because that's pretty cool. We like that. So hang on one sec. So kind of fun. Yeah, we have fun with that. But that's kind of where we're going to pick up. Yes. See, it's one of those that he did mention he wasn't going to be a free man for very long. Yeah, so. Yeah, it's one of those spread in moments. Oh, just wait. Jack Grove is really just Johnny Long. I think this is going to be some fun. We've got some innocence or guilt. It's our job to prove if he's innocent or guilty. Well, then the presentation said goodbye. Have a nice day. So where are we going to start? Well, we started collecting our evidence. Some of this evidence is actually a little bit volatile. So we have to go through some special steps to preserve it. Then we're going to go through analysis and then reporting. And then at the end, guess what? You guys get to participate and have the verdict. You get to decide. So in proceeding forward, we have three pieces of evidence we took from him. We have a Blackberry or Crackberry. Who would have known? I thought he was such an upstanding citizen. We have a Nokia. Oh, a 6101. Hello. Could have done better. Oh, and the iPod shuffle. The shuffle. Is that all the capacity you've got? I'm disappointed. I'm disappointed. Oh, it's all about the size. Take it down into two different areas, because digital forensics is not the same every day of the week. It's not a whole bunch of Wonder Bread out there. It's like, woohoo, Wonder Bread again. Woohoo, Wonder Bread again. It doesn't work that way. We actually have two different areas that we're going to look at. We're going to go computer forensics. Which, yeah, oh, it's me. Okay, get used to it. Computer forensics, which is bitstream imaging, so we're making exact copies of things. They're static. They don't change a lot. And then we have handheld forensics, which does active memory imaging, because the little buggers are sitting there changing all the time. So we do a form of snapshot forensics. And that's a huge difference in between the two. And so we're going to split it up, because everyone has their special skills. And mine's in the handheld forensics. And Tyler, she's going to do some computer forensics and deal with the iPod. That's right. So, we get to use a toolbox now. A very fashionable one. So one of the things that we need to do if we're responding to some kind of scene is we have to check all areas for potential evidence. And I do mean all areas, because some of these devices are kind of small. Now, Amber's got her little forensic toolbox. We take this with us, because you never know when you're going to be in a situation where you have to search in... Yeah, it doesn't work that way. It's one of those bend over and cough moments a lot of the time. You should have picked a bigger iPod. That's just the answer of the day. But you'll have to be prepared for all things. It's always good to have a handy toolbox. And always wear gloves. Ah, yeah. Hello, handhelds. Nasty, nasty, nasty. Are you asking a question? The extra one will fit in my pocket on the plane. So there's other methods you can do. We can just put them in the room with the guy named Biff. They'll find it. It's not a problem. They're not as nice with the lube, though. So we kind of balance that out. So gloves are important. There is biological evidence that you have to maintain. There's a reason I chose to do digital. It's not as gross. It's a lot more entertaining. So this is my favorite part. Because it's more than just gathering the evidence. It's dealing with the suspect. So you're going to have to balance it out a little bit. And that's where other fun things from my toolbox come into play. So this is how Amher gets the password out of a suspect if they're not willing to give it up. This is also how we find the friends of suspects as well. Okay. Your whip is asked till it gives up his password. Is that better? Yeah. It's hard to do both. I'm not that multi-talented. But that does mean if we have any AV problems, I think we'll have success to balance. The other thing is collection and preservation actually changes quite a bit with this type of digital evidence because it is very volatile. On the handheld side, you've got live wireless devices.  It makes all the data go bye-bye. So we balance that out by dealing it with a holiday cage. We put them in these cool bags. And they are very cool and shiny. We like shiny stuff. And this blocks all the wireless signals from 0 up to 10 gigahertz. I think we're pretty much covered at that point. But the problem is you like working in a bag. It's not that fun. So we balance that out one stage higher with a tent. Have you ever heard of the whole seven minutes of heaven in the closet? Yeah? It's a seven minutes of heaven in the third day tent. It's fabulous. We have a tent club at the office. Very interesting. Yeah. All about experimentation. But we know our wireless evidence is protected in there. And we're not going to have any problems with signals being added to it. New calls being received and overriding some of the data that we needed in the first place. So it is about the protection of that evidence. So one of the things that you need to do is you have to prioritize your exam. You want to get any volatile data first. You want to get any data that you could lose information on. So you'd want to go with your PDAs before something static like the iPod. Because the iPod is essentially a hard drive. And you're not in danger of losing that evidence. With the PDA, no power, no data. With a cell phone, you've got the pin, you've got the puck, and then you're just going to end up fucked.  It's a whole lot of legal paperwork that you just don't want to go through. And so you try to plan ahead, maintain the power. You put it in the third day, and you're usually good to go for about eight hours. So our big question is we want to answer this evening. We want to know what was Jack Rove up to. We want to know who his accomplices were. And most importantly, we want to see if we have evidence to prosecute. Because remember, we're here in the lab and we're not trying to find guilt or innocence. We're just trying to find what the evidence is. And sometimes it's going to prove innocence, and sometimes it's going to prove guilt. And final, of course, we've got the verdict.  Remember, it's a jury of your peers. It makes it a lot more interesting. So we want to know what he was up to. One of the first things we look at in forensics is we go to the time stamps. Because we want to prove that you were actually doing it within an existing period of time that the theft, the hack, or whatever occurred. And so we have to look at the time stamps of all these different devices. You have dynamic devices and you have static devices. Are they all in the same sync? Are they even from the same time zone? So we kind of go through those. As we go through them, we do things like use the development libraries for Blackberry and you can make your virtual Blackberry. And then you set up and go through and verify your time stamp on the device. It's a snapshot. It's from that point that you seized it that you're going to check. On a cell phone, we have another problem. It's not on there. It's not on there through any of the conventional methodology that you pulled down because your time is continually changing. As you hit the different time zones, you have a variation. As your time stamps hit with SMS or a call log, it changes based on the zone and it doesn't actually mark what zone it was in on the device. So it becomes a lot more difficult to deal with. It's high maintenance evidence is how we refer to it. With the iPod, it's a little bit different. Sometimes you're going to be able to get a time zone based on what region it's in. It also is just going to depend on if you have the computer that has iTunes with it. So it's a little bit more difficult. We do know Johnny was smart enough to destroy his laptop before he got to us at this point.  The other side that we get is something that doesn't happen on the actual digital devices. We actually go to the providers. We go through their data through all the proper legal paperwork. We hire our lawyers and we pay them a ton of money. They write up the subpoenas for us and they bring that data down. But the value of that to us in forensics is it tells us it's subscriber information.  Even if you're smart like Johnny was, where he bought a pay-as-you-go phone, because the 6101 is a very popular pay-as-you-go phone, some of that information is still recorded as far as the equipment identifier is in the store. It was bought in Virginia. It was done here, here, here. All of that is recorded whether or not they took his name or not. You still get a starting point for your examination to occur from. The other is the call detail records. We cross-reference what actually occurs on the phone versus what is showing in your records that they charge you for. Let's just be serious. All of its cell phone providers are anal retentive. They want to charge you for everything and they keep track of it. And they provide that over as part of your forensic examination. If you made the call, they have a record of it because you paid for it. So we use that information to cross-validate. We use some of the great tools out on the net and we build a map with them. We want to see, are you making calls in the area of which we had a hack occur, for instance? Obviously, we're dealing with a hack here. So, balance it out. Was he even in the vicinity? Was he close enough? Was it a physical penetration or was it a digital penetration? I just like saying that. It was fun. So, I'm like a child. I'm like, hehe. It was cool to see how often I could make Tyler blush. So, all right. Again, our big question. Who are his accomplices? That's what we're trying to determine. So we've got to figure out where to start. So we're going to go through things like address books. We're going to look through text messages. We're going to try to see if there are any photographs, emails, all kinds of records like that. And then sometimes things just kind of come up. That always happens. So we balance it out. Big question. Is there enough to prosecute? A lot of times there just isn't. It's been wiped. It's been killed. And the case goes to the side. The problem is habitual users, meaning you keep coming back over and over again and you make silly mistakes. Which means it just builds up more and more cases. It's kind of like all those years in school and your high school file was like five inches thick. It's the same. They keep track of you. They want to know how often were you actually doing this? Oh, you're back again. It's a reunion moment. So you balance it. But the important part we hit at this stage is acquisition. Did we do the right procedures? Because that's one of the important parts that people can really screw up. So, okay. Now we're going to kind of go over the iPod a little bit just its structure. How many of you guys have an iPod in here? All right. That's like pretty much everyone. Good participation. We like that. Yeah, we do like participation. It's good. It's positive. The default systems that are going to run on the iPod, you're going to have HFS Plus or FAT32.  No, not at all. Okay. Essentially the iPod is just a storage device. It's hidden if you're storing information in there because its primary function is a digital media device. But you can hide photos, trade secrets, hidden files, hacking tools, pretty much whatever you want. Does anyone use their iPod as a storage device? Yeah, pretty much everyone does. I do. Okay. And again, you can have hacking tools on your iPod. You can have your Metasploit. You can have whatever you want. And you can also bring evidence back to the iPod for safekeeping. If some investigator is in your house digging for things, they're not always going to look for that iPod. It's just becoming more and more convenient to have those devices with you as well. Everyone has their iPod all the time. And you can transfer files. It's just kind of a good thing. All right. And then there's also small Linux distributions that can run on an iPod. These three are actually bootable Linuxes. So you can actually have your iPod as a bootable Linux. Now, I've used all three of these, but the one that I've had the most success with is the damn small Linux. You can actually set it up so it's running in conjunction with iTunes so that it'll still function like a regular iPod. All right. One of the issues that we have with this device is we have to image it. Now, when we're imaging this device, we're taking the evidence and we're making a working copy of it. It's an exact digital replication of that device because we never want to be working with our actual original evidence. We always want to be working with what's called a best working copy, which is essentially the exact same thing. But one of the problems that we can run into is that these devices, a lot of these imaging tools run on Windows. And if I take my iPod and plug it into my Windows machine, what's going to happen? Instant corruption. That's what Windows does. It's all about the corruption. Exactly. We don't like that. That's bad for forensics. Very, very bad. It's a very, very bad idea to muck up your evidence. You might find yourself out of a job very fast. All right. These are some of the tools that you can use. And then there's pretty much any forensic tool you can use for analyzing the iPod. All right. Now, what you're essentially trying to find is you're trying to find what's normal on an iPod and then find things that are not normal. Now, all the iPods are different, and iTunes is actually different. As it goes up in versions, it deals with things a lot differently. Some of the things you'll find, you'll find a calendar folder. You'll find the iPod control folder, pretty much the nerve center of the iPod. There's podcast folders and photo folders. Now, why do you think you'd never find a photos folder on an iPod shuffle? Exactly. And you wouldn't even know the blind record. Man, a shot. There's one open. Here he comes. Yeah, you're smart enough to know there's no screen on a shuffle. When's a shot? Look at that. All right. So what's not normal? This makes matched file extensions. This is anything that has a header with an extension that doesn't match, and we're going to actually see some of that when we start doing the analysis. Anything that's hidden? Something like too many partitions or non-standard file systems? Does that mean that if we see an iPod that's got Linux on it, that it's evidence? No, not necessarily. And this is true of all types of digital evidence. It's not as easy to play around with a blackberry or a phone. They are kind of playing one team most of the time. However, you can do your modifications to them, and those are things that you look for in the digital evidence range to say, how is it going to be different, and how is it going to respond differently to my acquisition procedures, and how does the data relate back and forth? Because that's the interesting thing. The blackberry is codependent. It needs other devices deeply. So it passes data back and forth. You have multiple points of digital fingerprinting. So now what we're going to do is we're actually going to break down the evidence for you.  Oh, she's just really annoying.  So we're kind of working through that. So we're going to actually go through the blackberry, the cell phone, and the iPod for you, and you can help us find evidence. This is that key point where it's interaction. It's interaction. It's a good thing. So which device do you guys think we should do first? Which one? Oh, you paid attention. Awesome. We feel the laugh. I wish we had like presents to throw. It might hurt a little. Just a little. Or you can come up, and now that wouldn't work either. Okay, anyway. All right, this is going to be a problem holding a mic, standing and driving. Why don't you just echo it back in the stand? I'll see me drunk. Okey dokey. And now you can't hear me. Okay. Yeah, we have to lean forward. All right, we've got our blackberry. Blackberry is pretty simple. Believe it or not, it takes 15 minutes to acquire a blackberry in a forensic manner. That's it. It's a little anticlimactic to be honest with you. It's like, oh, windows takes longer. Scary. Blackberry simply consists of databases. What's the prime purpose of a blackberry? Email. Email. Very good. So I think that's probably the first place we're going to look. Lovely. Looks like Jack had an email problem. Looks like he had an apple problem as well. He was going to iTunes. Been very busy. How does it feel to have your email read on a screen? Is that good feeling? Happy feeling? Do they always say that? Always.  Looks like he has some gaming. MSN. I'm disappointed in you, Johnny. I'm disappointed. Let's see. What else are we going to look for? I see nothing that really kind of blows the skirt up. Have to be honest with you. It's okay. Okay. Memos. Hang on. We have a board meeting. Project coin. Nice. Address book. This is always nice to see Bastard in someone's address book. That's how you know they feel the love. Oh, yeah. So we've got a CEO Bastard. It looks like it's Robert Proctor. There are some issues there. Oh, Alexandria, Virginia. That kind of matches up, doesn't it? We thought that the whole thing was occurring in the Virginia, DC area. That's what our call detail records told us. So interesting. Oh, and check it out. It looks like he's done some social engineering there. Dog's name is Tigger. His... Oh. Mr. Proctor's wife buys stuff from Amazon. Imagine that. Oh, and he was working the secretary. She likes sunsets. In beach walks. That's just precious. Absolutely. Ah. Bosses habits. Hates the new computer systems. Upgraded them all to new software. Couldn't remember it, but oh, check it out. The phone system is an old PBX with an open port. Wow. Now who's saying bend over now? Hmm. Sounds like opportunity there. So we need to keep looking around. See what else we've got going on. Um... You know, one of the areas I always find to be interesting on a blackberry are pin messages because that's one blackberry user to another. It's all in the network. It doesn't hit outside. So it's important to always check those out as part of your evidence. So what do you think? We've got masking of an IP. Cool. We've got a check made on the passwords or the passwords for the whole case. Among other things. Among other things. I do believe we have some open opportunity here. But do we have enough for a verdict? This is that interaction moment. No! Oh, thanks! You're not dead. Oh, let's check out the next one. This should be really fun. Because you realize that the number one digital fingerprint people leave is their cell phone. Why? Because we all can't live without them. We just have to be that reachable. So, I mean, how many of you guys have cell phones? Yeah, I felt like we were doing the wave there for a minute. That would be everybody.  So, we've got choices. Looks like we have a web-enabled cell phone. Looks like he was out surfing as well. With T-Mobile. Again, disappointment. Oh. Okay. What else do we have in here? We have logos. Did he have them on? Did he have them off? Call logs. Those are always important. Alright. There's someone named Tanya in your life. Always interesting. Spock. Satan. Always important. I love getting the calls from Satan. Always a positive sign. So, hmm. Phone book. On the phone.  That's so sweet. And evidently, Cartman. Hmm. Who would have thought? I didn't think the cartoons picked up, but you never could help. He's saving them to the phone, though, and not the SIM card. And that tells you something about your evidence. It means it's probably temporary. If he's moving a SIM card around to different phones, you'll see almost 100% of it stored over on the SIM. And so there's a balance with that. And as we all know with the new dual SIMs, you can be multiple people at once. Schizophrenia is now popular and digital. So, you balance it out a little bit. His own number. And then you hit the good stuff. You know, I always find something very telling about people. I think their ringtone really says a lot about who they are. Do you agree? Absolutely. Do you want to hear his ringtone? Yeah, because it's kind of fun.  Pick it up. It's a demanding ringtone at that. Now, he thought it was pretty tricky, because earlier I went through it, and I noticed that he had actually surfed to T-Mobile to download this. Now, those special people, and by special I mean evil bastards, at T-Mobile decide that they want to encrypt everything. Yeah, so you can't share their stuff after you pay the 599 for it.  It's like I paid for that picture. Hello? So, you know, he thought he was being pretty tricky. He thought none of you would get to hear his ringtone. Well, you know what? Sometimes you have other skills. And I happen to have some of those. It was good. I actually exported it out, because I have to take it outside of my evidence image. You never work within your image because you can't modify it. So, I exported it out. I also decrypted it. And now you get to hear it. Jessica Simpson. Did you hear it? Here, we'll do it again. You have Jessica Simpson saying pick it up, pick it up. She's calling you on your phone. Aren't you so proud? You know, that goes beyond fan at that point. So, what else do we have here? In the file system, that's where we're going to find all the images associated with the camera phone. We do know that this is an actual camera phone. So, all of the images are going to be stored by default on the device. We also know that both of these devices, and I'll just mention it because we don't have much time to go through it, have SIM cards associated with them. This is a GSM device. The BlackBerry has a SIM card as well. Both of those would have forensics done on them in addition to doing the actual default device. I didn't go through those because we're going to run out of time otherwise. What I did do is I carved out all of his graphics. Here we go. I like the flowers. Those are nice. We are confirming he indeed has been in the DC area. Looks like he's taking some pictures of some security around buildings. Always nice. Ah! Probably the girlfriend. Ah! The belly dancer. Always nice. Been to Paris. I think Rome. That's also DC again that we see here. Even some of the damaged images are still recoverable after they've been deleted off of the device. It's amazing how long a digital fingerprint is left on a cell phone. It's about two months. It's a long time, and that's with active use. So we have some options there. And of course, as we saw up here, we always cross reference. How were the call logs? He really didn't dial a lot of people with this device. The number one form of communication on a cell phone, however, isn't talking on the actual phone.  It's got a call button. If you've got four paragraphs to send to me, it's a lot easier. It seems that Johnny has that problem as well. So let's check out some of his text messages. Skittish problems. Specs on a device. Russian server. Always popular. Oh, the hi honey. I can't wait to see you. Hurry back, I'm wearing your favorite. Nothing. I don't think you're going to get a chance to see that. Just thought I'd warn you. Maybe Biff will indulge with your favorite. In the information, we pull out what the number is. We pull out when it came in. How it was delivered. What the status is on it. We've got payment. Rude on a target. Again, gaming. Oh, working with FedEx. Nice. Oh, he's been downloading pictures as well. And again, that T-Mobile service. We have our default templates that come with it. No big deal. But I always find it interesting to look at the save text messages.  And so you put them in there. I'm no narc. I don't doubt that. Cool coin next week, Saturday. Awesome. F-00Q's end.  A little problem there. A little too much to drink.  It's all good. And then of course we have our access points knowing that he has also activated the GPRS service. Which means it's being recorded at the provider level as well as the phone. And all of that gets picked up. At the end of both of these pieces of evidence, do we have enough for a verdict? No. You lean in one way or the other? Guilty. I love it. I thought you were more popular than that. Geez. So, we've got one last piece of evidence. Let's see how it relates to both our blackberry and our cell phone. Okay. So I've already pre-imaged this iPod to save us some time. This is what the file system looks like. We see that this is actually FAT16 which is a non-standard file system for the iPod. But in and of itself, that is not evidence. What do we see here? What just kind of jumps out at you almost immediately? Not big. We've got this boot.cat come down here. We see syslinux. What do we think that that is? Do we suspect that this might be a bootable linux? We suspect it might. Can we tell based on this successfully booting linux? No, we can't. What's this? That's metasploit. So we see here that he's done some configurations with his iPod. Based on what we see here that he's got hacking tools on here. Do we have enough evidence with this? No, of course not. All right. So the shuffle is a little bit different than any of the other iPods. It's a little bit simplistic in what it has. The iPod control folder is the nerve center of all the iPods. He attempted to delete this iPod as we can see by this little red X. But when you and I'm sure that you guys are all aware of this, when you delete a file it doesn't really go away. Usually we can still get it back. So in here we have this iTunes folder and we have this music folder. Now iTunes actually controls everything that happens on the iPod. It controls everything. Have any of you guys tried to get music off of your iPod and you have to go through this crazy process to do it? It's because iTunes is controlling everything on there. And if we remember we had another reference earlier to iTunes on our Blackberry. He said all the emails for his iTunes to go down to his Blackberry account. So we have a relationship between the two pieces of evidence that's always very important to find out how they work with one another. So what happens when you first build this device is this f00, f01, f02 directories are created and then if you have more music more directories are just going to be created. Now I just want to show you the structure of one of these. I'll show you this one. Oh boy. Oops, I did it again. Britney Spears? Johnny. So what this version of iTunes does is it'll take the song iTunes will put the song into the device it'll have this 01 it'll have a number over here and then the song and then what happens is that gets deleted and it changes it into this four code beginning with the extension. What do you guys think this number is?  Absolutely, that's the track number. Now not all versions of iTunes do this. The earlier versions will leave the entire song title and newer versions do this. So let's take a look at two files I want you to see. This is the iTunes database file. What this is is this is kind of a map to everything that's on that device and iTunes controls this again. So everything that iTunes has put into this device anywhere will be in this file. So if we kind of come through here we see Don't Stop Believing Journey's Greatest Hits Whoa. And then we see where it is. We see it resides in iPod Control Music F02 and then it's got the extension that it's given it. It's called it RHEA.MP3 and so on and so on. Amber are you interested in any other music he's got on here? I am curious about what his entire playlist is. Ooh, a Lannis Morcette. Johnny, that's hot. Wow. All hot and bothered. Natasha Bell. I can't look at this anymore. He may not be guilty overall, but he is guilty of bad music choice. I agree. Really bad. So then I want to show you this file as well. This is the iTunes Shuttle database. This is only on the shuttle. This is not going to be on any of the other devices and it's just kind of a condensed version of what we just saw. All it tells you is the location of files. It's not going to give you any information about those files, but let me throw this out there. If I found something in say that F00 directory that was not in this database, what would that tell me? What would that signify to me? Exactly. He did it by hand. So let's just kind of look in here. Now we see here we've got Ashley Simpson. I don't even know what that one is. But what pops out almost immediately? What's the first thing that we see here that could possibly be suspect? Which one? You say the hidden one? Yeah. Something called hidden.mp3 will first off, it doesn't have the four code beginning. Something that is typed in. Something else that you might notice as well. Let me move over here is the size. This file is significantly smaller than the other mp3s that we have on here. So that's kind of a giveaway as well. Now this tool and most tools will do this for you. Some tools don't. Some you have to actually go in and do yourself. What it's doing here is it's doing something called a signature analysis. And what a signature analysis is is it's taking the header of this file and it's saying that header, because we look up here we see that header does not match the file extension. So what this tool has done is it's gone through and it's found three of these files. And it says these files are not what they appear to be. So let's take a look at them. Hey, did he have any graphics on there? Just as a side thing, just because you have a viewing window doesn't mean it doesn't have graphics. Ooh! Wasn't that the same picture you had on your cell phone? I think so. I could be associated with that evil CEO person, I imagine. And then this is coming a little bit big. I don't think we should be looking at that one. Oh! The girlfriend. Yeah, black and white usually means only one thing. And then we have a picture. Give me a shot. All right. And then we have a picture of DC. All right. So... All right, so how does it... How do the different pieces of evidence link together? Was there anything on the iPod that... Well, there's one more thing that I want to show them.  What do we see here? Name Jack Grove. He purchased that song. Now, where do we think that that name actually comes from? How many of you think that that's just kind of arbitrarily there? Good. All right. How many of you guys think that that's the name that he registered with iTunes? And that's where that actually came from? Okay. How many of you guys think that that is the name that's affiliated with the credit card that he used to purchase his songs? All right. You guys are right. It actually is the name that he used to purchase the... It's the name affiliated with the credit card. Which means he really can't get away from the fact that he did, indeed, pay money for Britney Spears. So bad. Ooh. All right. So, Amber, I'm starting to think here that we do not have enough evidence. You think we should keep looking? I do have that one question. Did you notice those text messages? I'm a big texture myself, so there was that one weird one.  I've seen Johnny's fingers. They're not very fat. That's true. I have to think he's a decent typist. What did that say? Again, do you guys remember what that said? Okay. F00, HZ, blah, blah, blah, and... That blah, blah, blah, blah. MP3 right here. Now, this MP3 is obviously what it says. It is an MP3 because it would have come up in signature analysis. And if we look at this header, we see that it is indeed an MP3. Now, if I actually played this, I have a feeling that the song would actually play. So, I'm not really sure what to do from here. What was the end of that text message? End. It sounds like someone likes and stuff. Check the end. All right. Okay. Do you guys really want to hear his music? You guys really want to hear out of the beat? I don't. My ears would bleed. What do you guys think that that means? What do you think he was saying? Okay. Let's try that. Let's go down. Okay, I'm at the literal end. Wow. What's that? Ha, ha, ha. You'll never catch the likes of Jack Grove. Oh. It's a love note. It's a definite love note moment. Do you want to say answer that? I'm not sure after the Britney and Jessica Simpson. I think that one was an avril. Yeah. Not sure about that one. So, we have a choice. We have a verdict moment. And then we get to decide what its sentence is. It really is kind of the best part of it. Because there's no judge. So, what are you thinking? Guilty, not guilty. We had a blackberry. I love organized chaos too. Everyone just straight yelling, yeah, that works. Uh-huh. It works now. Beyond that, I think the implication that he has some hacking tools and is mocking some investigators is not grounds for, you know, convicting him. So, I don't think he's guilty. Ah. I really think he's not guilty. You don't think he should be flogged for his choice of music at very least? Edward, you just want to use that flogger. I know. I have a focus issue. There's a club down the street that we can go to later if you like. Thanks. Uh-huh. You know, don't you think this has been a little overdone at this point? Free Johnny shirts? Come on.  All right, so are we voting not guilty? Thank you. There's actually enough to prove him innocent. Could you imagine forensics? You're proving him guilty. What? And since you're guilty, oh no, there's two sides. You got to be kidding me. Forensics does both. Hmm. It looks like we have probably a popular vote of a lot of free Johnny's. Thank you for a good sense of humor. Okay, I think I'm going to retrieve my items. Thank you, everyone for setting me free, and I think it's time for shots. Yes!


Hey guys, it's Leanna, and I'm here today to talk about the mortal engines. I know I'm being super dramatic, but I have this red scarf. My mom just gave it to me, and I was like, this is like literally perfect, so I have to use it for this. Anyway, I'm here today to do a book to film critique analysis type of deal. I've never done that before on this channel, so first time for everything. And since I read the book and just saw the movie, I decided to do it. So here we go. There's going to be a little loose structure to this. I'm kind of going to start with what the movie got right, like what was the same as the book, then what things they changed, so what they got wrong, and then the end will be my analysis of how everything went wrong. So spoiler warning, the movie was terrible, but double spoiler warning, this video will be spoilery for both the book and the movie because I'm going to go into like beginning to end what happens in both how they're different and how the movie was garbage. Okay, so let's start with, again, what went right, i.e. like what they, when they were true to the book. So, so far, everything I'm going to tell you in this part is what's true in both the book and the movie. So I won't specify because this is true in both. So if you don't know, the premise of the Mortal Engines is that this is like in the distant future in a futuristic earth world where like a thousand years ago during the 62nd war, humans decimated like the earth. It's not super specific on how we did that. It's sort of from context, you sort of get the feeling it was probably like a nuclear war type of deal. And so we kind of ruined the earth all that time ago. And because the earth was so unstable after that, this premise is dumb, but this is the premise. The solution for this was that cities became mobile. So the entire city could move around because no place was stable enough for people to stay physically in one place. I mean, obviously the solution here is not for an entire city to be mobile, it's for people to constantly be mobile, you know, or like more caravan style living and not having a giant city on wheels, but fine. That's the premise and that's the reason. So despite the like weirdness of that premise, there are some cool things that become possible with that premise. So having this like mobile, you know, city, like having this whole group of people moving around, like there's some interesting ideas that they can work with based on that premise. It's just, you just have to accept it and just go from there. So that's this true in both. And our main characters, there's four main characters. And this is more true in the book, but it is also true in the movie that these are the four main characters. You have Tom who works in, he works in the like historical archives department of like London. And then you have Catherine, who is the daughter of this famous archeologist in London. He's kind of like a hero of London. Then you have Bevis, who is this young man who works in the engineering guild. Sorry, I should have said the historical guild is where Tom works. They're all called guilds. And Bevis works in the engineering guild in London. And then the fourth character is Hester Shaw, who is that girl. And she's not of London. She's the only one of the four that's not. These are the four main characters that you follow throughout the story. Again, true in both. The way that this all, the way they all become part of the story is that Tom goes down, London has just captured another city because these are predator cities.  So that's kind of like Mad Max, but with cities. So like they've just absorbed a new small city. And so Tom gets sent down because they tend to just sort of use everything for parts or for fuel. So the historical people want to preserve artifacts from like old earth, from like our time. So he's sent down to sort of find stuff that would be of historical significance before it all gets used up for fuel or for parts.  And Valentine gets attacked by this girl who just came off of this new city that they captured. She's Hester Shaw. She attacks Valentine. Tom is like, oh no, this is A, my hero, I can't let this happen, B, this is my chance to prove myself to my hero, this is my moment to shine. So then he stops Hester from killing Valentine. And then when she flees, chases her down.  And this is kind of true in both that Hester has a very scarred face. There's more true in the book, but Hester has a scarred face. And so she falls off of London and Tom is shook. Valentine catches up with him and is like, what just happened? And Tom tells him what the girl said and what her name was. And Valentine pushes him off the city because he knows too much. And then Catherine catches up and it's like, what happened? And Valentine's like, I'm so sorry. I know you liked that young guy, Tom, but he fell because that horrible woman pulled him off. And Catherine's really upset about it, but she notices that there's a young engineer who was standing nearby and probably saw everything. And she finds the engineer because something is fishy about this. And she's like, my dad's not telling me everything. So she finds that engineer, Bevis, and the two of them start investigating stuff on their end of things in London. Meanwhile, Tom has fallen off of London and is with Hester. And Tom's mission is to get back to London. Hester's mission is still to kill Valentine. And Catherine wants to figure out what her father's up to. And Bevis, who's this young engineer, is jazzed about hanging out with Catherine and also has seen some weird stuff that he can't explain. So he's down to help her out. So that's true in both the book and the movie. And that's kind of where the similarities die. So in the book, after Tom falls off and is hanging out with Hester, there's a series of really interesting adventures they go on because they encounter other moving cities, people that Hester knows from before. And Tom slowly starts to have his blinders peeled away because he's been so hardcore. Like, London is the best thing ever. My hero, Valentine, is the greatest thing ever. And there's nothing wrong with my worldview. Predator cities are the best way to go, blah, blah, blah.  And Hester's like, Valentine, push you off the city. Are you kidding me? Are you still pro him? So it's a long journey for Tom to come to terms with the fact that maybe, just maybe, London isn't great. And maybe Valentine isn't so great because maybe he did actually kill Hester's mom. And maybe he did really push him off of London. And meanwhile, there's Catherine and Bevis in London and same sort of similar journey for them as well where Catherine is slowly piecing some things together. She's heard the name Shaw. So she's looked it up in historical records. Hester's mom is somebody famous. You can't find Hester's name. She's piecing things together with Bevis's help. And Bevis is an engineer, so he's on a lower tier of the engineering guild. But he's like, yeah, there's some higher ups that have been doing some stuff that I'm not allowed to know about. So they sneak in and they figure it out. And that's their end of things. And the whole sense in the book is that everyone at first is super London is great, except all of a sudden Hester shows up and just throws everything out of whack and starts making everybody question everything. Whereas in the movie, the moment you see Valentine, he's got snidely whiplash, I'm evil vibes. And Tom is already, before he even sees Hester, is already like something fishy going on. And he's collecting evidence because he's already like there's something up, like there's something they're keeping from us. So when he meets Valentine for the first time, they kind of do this whole hero moment with him. But it doesn't really work because he's all, he is a fan of Valentine's, but also he's already suspicious about something going on in London. He doesn't think Valentine's part of it, but you know what I mean? He's not so gung-ho. Then another big change is that Hester, she is scarred in the movie, but if you see in the trailer, she's got like one like line. It looks like there was like a cut on her face at some point that healed badly. And that's it.  Like her nose is missing, like she is a mess. Like stuff of nightmares horrific.  So when Tom sees her for the first time is like yikes. Whereas in the movie, she's like still a really pretty girl. She just kind of got this scar situation. Another big change that they made in the movie is that while Valentine is clearly an antagonist in the book, in the movie he's the ultimate villain. So in the book, Valentine has been up to some things that are questionable and he did kill Hester's mom, but he's been working for the Lord Mayor of London. And so as his daughter pieces this stuff together, she's like, I can't believe my dad would do this. And when she confronts her father about it, he's like, well, I did it for you so that you would be safe and fine and accepted in London, even though you're an outsider. She's an outsider. It's not super gone in depth, but she's an outsider.  And she's like, at what cost? And he's like, maybe you're right. And so he in the end has kind of like a Darth Vader style like redemption moment, which in the movie he doesn't. He is the ultimate villain. There is no villainy person that he's working for that's worse than him. He is top cuckoo crazy villain. Another big change is that they changed the ending of, this is the super spoilery part. So at the end of the book, when there's this redemption moment for Valentine, Hester has returned to London after all these adventures that she and Tom go on.  And Catherine feels it's her responsibility to save Hester because she feels responsible for her father's mistakes. So she stops her father from killing Hester but she gets killed instead. So, and then there's this huge weapon that Valentine's been involved in building for London. And that's the evil stuff he's doing. So Catherine and Bevis have already put a hitch in those plans. So the weapon is malfunctioning. And so Bevis dies because the weapon is malfunctioning and Hester now, because of this whole Catherine's dead thing, she kind of feels bad for Valentine because he's like tore up that his daughter's dead and she tries to save Valentine because London is imploding and he's like, nah, it's too late for me. And he dies holding his daughter in his arms and Hester and Tom escape. And that's the end in the movie. There is no redemption moment for Valentine. Catherine doesn't die. I'm not sure what happens with Bevis. I'm not sure they even like show us because he's kind of like not an important character at all in the movie. He's like just kind of in there to like kind of be around Catherine, but that's kind of it. And then Hester escapes with Tom and Catherine also escapes after discovering her dad is Cuckoo Crazy Evil. And yeah, I don't think we ever see what happens with Bevis and it's just like, doesn't matter. So those are the major differences between the two. I kind of already started edging into what went wrong which I kind of didn't want to.  So now we are going to move into full what went wrong because yikes, what went wrong? The book already is kind of an iffy premise. I did not love the book. I want to be clear about that. I don't know why I'm holding this book in my lap. I was going to hold it up while I talked about it, but okay, well I'm talking about the book now. It's not great. Like as already it's a pretty dumb premise but there's a lot of little things about it that the dumb premise does allow the author to do some cool things, some cool ideas and cool questions about humanity and blah, blah, blah. So the book has some redeeming aspects. The movie just shat on those. Like I can't, I don't even know why. So the book already is very short and honestly reading it, it feels quite cinematic already. So you know when people have trouble with the idea of adapting a book to a movie they'll sometimes be like, well, this doesn't really lend itself to being on film so this is gonna be tricky. This already feels like it's been written for the screen or with a screen in mind. It's very visual. So if they literally like page by page had adapted it and not changed anything, it's already pretty much cinema ready. You just add a soundtrack and you're good to go. But they changed a hell of a lot and I don't know why because all it did was it took out anything that might even be emotionally significant and without that emotional significance none of the action matters because if people are like fighting and dying but you don't care about those people it doesn't matter how cool your graphics are.  Like in the book she's like the stuff of nightmares.  So that's something that you would never really be able to get over because you see it every day. It's affecting you on a minute to minute day to day basis. So that grudge is something that you're physically carrying and seeing. In addition to that, then people react badly to her her whole life. So she's very hostile and distrusting of everyone including obviously Tom who stopped her from killing her arch nemesis. So it takes a long time for Hester when her and Tom kind of start hitting it off and they're kind of more allies now that he's come around to the idea that Valentine might not be so great and London might not be so great. It takes a long time for Hester to accept the fact that someone might actually be her ally and not because they're trying to use her for something because Tom is like super bright. I'd wish he'd tell the innocent. He was totally like, London's great. And I was like, wow, London might not be so great. And his motivations were Hester is concerned or like, well, I gotta help her and we're a team now and I gotta save her. And so she's like, why are you helping me? I wouldn't help you. It takes a long time for her to accept that he might actually be trying to help her. And that is not a thing in the movie. In the movie, yes, she's got a scar on her face which has marked her and she has this grudge against Valentine but this absolute distrust of everyone based on her appearance that she has to get over isn't like that isn't something that she has to really truly get over in the movie. And so they don't even play it up as like where she is getting over that and it's kind of just unbelievable because she's not that badly scarred but they act like she is. They don't really act like she is.  And like one lady at some point says something like, oh, you got enough scars, honey, but she looks fine. Like she's hot, lesbian, she's hot.  And it's not something that the character is displaying either, like distrust and hostility based on her appearance. Like she's just kind of generally gruff but not anymore so than anyone that would be kind of roughing it would be. So it's not like this whole thing to her character is just gone. So the fact that she does end up outlying with Tom doesn't seem like a big deal because she's like, yeah, okay, you know, we've been hanging on, so I guess I can trust you. It's not this big thing with her. And then Tom, the fact that in the book he's completely innocent and gullible and believes that everything is great in London and then has to realize that it's not. That's a huge thing for him and his character to have to get over and accept that maybe life isn't as perfect as he thought and that he's questioning everything that he believed. That's a really important thing for him too and part of he can't trust Hester if he's gonna like continue to believe in London because those two things are mutually exclusive. So in order to be able to begin to trust Hester he has to begin to accept that what she's saying is true and that his hero is not his hero and that London is not great and that they're up to something evil. So like she has to get over her mistrust of other people, interesting Tom and he has to get over his belief in the goodness of London in order to work with her. And so these are like kind of huge deals for these characters to overcome and then bond over and then work together towards defeating Valentine and saving well, it doesn't go so well for London but it's something that they really have to struggle with overcome and it is much more compelling. In the movie, he's already suspicious when you first meet him, he's already like there's something going on in London and I've been starting to like hide things because the people are like, it's going missing and I'm worried about it. So when he first meets Hester and she says that things are like not so honky to worry the Valentine's evil, it seems silly that he would not immediately agree with her because he's already been suspicious.   And so there's just no emotional impact for what these characters are going through. So when they bond in the movie, the actors are good actors and I think they could have done a good job, but the plot didn't, like they changed the plot too much so these characters were stripped of their emotional arcs and it was just, they were just shells going through the motions for that reason. Then with Catherine and Bevis, they are really, they're like literally half the book if not completely then almost. They're given equal time as Catherine and Tom. And so when they die, it's not like they were throwaway characters. In the book, they actually were kind of throwaway characters.  In the book, Catherine obviously believes her father's great and Bevis doesn't, he also thinks Valentine is great because he's a hero of London. And so they're slowly realizing that there's something going on. And as they slowly piece together what's going on and they're building this weapon that oh no, what are we gonna do about it?  It's the two of them sort of like doing all this digging. Like they're on the hunt, they're on the case and they're like putting clues together and piecing it together based on what they know. So you're following through this like mystery as they're piecing it together. And then they kind of already know what's going on. Bevis is already hostile and suspicious and he doesn't really wanna help Catherine and then he kind of grudgingly agrees to do it and they kind of immediately discover what's going wrong. Everyone kind of already seems to know about this weapon. Everyone's already suspicious about it. Even before they've investigated everything, everyone who's evil has already walked on screen being like I'm evil. So there's no sense of discovery, no sense of like we're discovering that there's like a mystery and like we need to piece it together and what's really going on here. It's obvious who's a villain. It's obvious they're up to something. It's obvious where they're doing it and it's obvious what our characters are gonna come to find out. So there's no sense of mystery.  And then there's another character that they made a huge change with. So when Tom and Hester are going on their, now they've fallen off London and they need to find their way. There's all this sort of thing where they fall into like this smaller city where they're gonna try to sell them off as slaves so they have to escape and then this woman has got an airship and they try to book passage and she's like how are you gonna pay and he's like I can't pay. And then she sees that these slavers are after them. She's like you know what, just come with me and I'll take you away cause like I don't wanna see anybody getting enslaved. And they go with her and Tom is like innocent and gullible. So he just tells her all about London and then later he finds out that she's probably an anti-tractionist agent. And so an anti-tractionist, there are these like this group that's against these moving cities. They think that's a bad idea.  Anti-tractionists are like this rebel group. And so later like when it comes to light that she probably was one and he's like but she didn't seem like an agent. Like she didn't seem like she'd be like this like rebel, whatever, that's so wrong. And Hester's like why would an agent like seem like an agent to you? They wouldn't be a very good agent if they seemed like one which is an excellent point. And it's hilarious that that literally happens in the book where Hester's literally like you'd be a terrible agent if people looked at you and immediately knew you were one because in the movie, if you've seen the trailer that Asian woman with the sunglasses, that's that character. The moment she walks on screen, she's like, I'm an important rebel. And as soon as you see her, you're like, the name is Bond, James Bond, like no stealth.  So the moment she shows up, it's like bang, bang, bang, like I'm a rebel and I'm gonna like rescue you. There's no subtlety, there's no mystery, there's no reveal. She's immediately recognizable as a rebel and she takes these people away. So there's no like mystery, there's no discovery. Everything is told to you immediately. So there's like no point.  And then there's a whole scene, like whole passage that's cut out, which I thought when I was reading it would actually be really fun on screen and they totally cut it out where Hester and Tom get captured by this pirate city. And they're probably gonna be enslaved again except that this guy who runs this pirate ship discovers that Tom is from London. And he's like, oh, you're from London because this guy, when he acquires an upwealth, he wants to be legitimate.  So he wants Tom who's from London to teach him manners and etiquette. And that's like this whole funny thing that super reminded me if you've seen the movie Stardust, like the part where they're on the ship with Captain Shakespeare. And there's just like, they're pirates but they're like this like fun kind of crew and there's just like weird adventure and whatever. It gave me those vibes. And I thought it was a little darker and a little more violent and less silly but it kind of reminded me of that. And I was like, that'd be really fun on screen because the whole book had the sort of like quirky like violent things are happening but also there's these like sweet innocent people. There's these like strange quirky jokes. It had like a Terry Pratchett vibe at times especially with the pirates. The movie was literally just like CGI and no emotion, occasional attempts at humor that fell flat because there was no story backing it up where you'd already care about the characters and then the humor adds to it.  And then again, like the fact that Catherine dies as well as Bevis, you've spent a lot of time with them in the book whereas in the movie, they're just kind of, she's kind of a hot girl and yeah, she's Valentine's daughter, but that's it. And at the end, she's alive and she's fine and she doesn't seem that shook up about the fact that she's discovered that her dad was like an evil psycho villain. She's like, that's wrong. And then everything is fine. Again, in the book, you had this epic Darth Vader type moment where he was like the villain's right hand man but he has this moment of clarity for his child. Like this is literally paralleling Star Wars where like because of his daughter who is like the Luke Skywalker in this scenario is like, this is wrong. And he's like, you know what you're right and it's not too late for me to do something about it except that it is too late and he dies.  And I was like, why? Why would you do that? His character was so much more interesting and so much more layered when, you know, he was doing, he'd gone too far down the path of I'll do what it takes to protect my daughter. And he had forgot, he had stopped being able to draw that line of what is too far until his daughter was like, yo, this is too far. And he's like, you're right. Which is much stronger than in the movie. And I don't understand why they would change that. Now the one scene that is not relevant like just to either plot that much but I just have to bring it up because I literally started laughing in the theater. Like I think they were mad at me because I was, I couldn't contain myself. I was cackling. So this epic end battle when they're gonna go in and try to like stop London from using this epic weapon they've been building.  So they're gonna board her ship and use that as like a last-ditch effort bring Tom and Hester over there. And earlier in the movie, there's this throwaway line about how once upon a time Tom had wanted to be an aviator before he was part of the historian's guild. And like they kind of mentioned that and then not really that much anymore. So right as they're about to board the ship, like it's go time. Like London is about to like kill them, like activate Death Star Go. And he like, they're all boarding the ship and then he turns and he sees all these like aviator jackets pegged on the wall. And there's this like slow scene where he's like looking at them like drooling over them. And then he slowly approaches the jackets and reaches out and like strokes one of them. And I'm like, are we doing this right now? And then they cut to the ship, inside the ship where they're like, where's Tom? We gotta go.    Like, what, why? Like I mentioned, I think this is emotionally significant and epic and like be into it. Am I supposed to laugh at it? Cause he's being silly. Like, I don't even know what tone they're going for here.   And why is this here? Likewise, like in the beginning, it did have this like quirky vibe, which I was like, at first I was like, okay, like I like what they're doing with this because they did throw in a lot of like the fact that they're gathering like historical artifacts from our time. And so they have these like statues of a minions and they call them like the deities of the ancients because like, if you don't know and you just dug them up, you'd be like, these are statues. We must have revered them. So there's this display in the museum of like the gods of the ancients and they're like minions and like they have like handheld devices and they talk about how like, we didn't have the written word in our day because like we just have these flat screens and we don't know how they worked. And I was like, okay, that's cool. Like those are some cool ideas and that's kind of how the book is too because one of the artifacts that Tom collects is a CD and like they talk about how like they don't really, like they believe the ancients use these as tour information, but they don't really know how they work. And like he uses that as barter because it's a valuable rare artifact. So like those are some cool things that were both in the book and they started out in the movie kind of doing those things. And I was like, okay, I like this where you're going with it. They give up on that. Like the moment Hester shows up and then it's all just like dramatic glances and like epic CGI machines and stuff with like no character development, just epic battle scenes with a bunch of people walking around posturing like you should have been known who I am, I'm a rebel. I'm here to avenge somebody. I want to be a pilot.  Like why? The book had tons of action, but also like a good character arc. And I haven't even, I haven't even mentioned the like there's a whole side arc which is probably one of the most interesting things in the book. And they did include it in the movie, but wasted it was that there was this like cyborg thing that had saved Hester as a child.    That's what we want.   Like we're friends and he's like, no, then you can be like me.  And she's like, why did you do that? Why would you stop him?  And she's like, I wanted that. I wanted to be turned into this machine because like she already feels like no one cares about her.  That's still where her brain is at. And Tom's like, what's wrong with you? You're so selfish. Like I care about you so I saved you. Like you're welcome.  And she can't accept the fact that Tom would care about her and that someone would care about her and that that's a reason to live. And this is an epic moment. And then in the movie, the thing goes after her for the same motivation but there's not this, she already knew in the movie that he wanted to turn her into those things cause that was something they had agreed on when she was a kid. She broke her promise to him to become that thing when she discovered Valentine was nearby and was like, oh, gotta go after him.  So like, you still owe me for this. And then she decides that she doesn't wanna be that thing because she loves Tom. And when the machine finds out that she loves Tom that breaks his heart and he like literally dies of a broken heart in the movie. He like crumples to his knees. And I was just like, are you serious? Like this was so much more powerful in the book. And I don't know why you changed it. You didn't have to. It's not any different cinematically. So I was just like, why? It was this dull moment where they like that flash this montage of like her as a kid and her being with this machine and then this flashes of her and like her and Tom being in love. And I was like, I'm not buying that cause you guys have no chemistry. And it was just all this music they were playing and they just really dragged this scene out where like he's dying of a broken heart. And I was like, I know I'm supposed to feel something right now, but I definitely don't.  And the whole thing was just a huge mess. Basically every choice they made, weakened to the plot, weakened to the story, weakened to the narrative. And it was cinematically beautiful. It was absolutely spectacular. The effects were super cool. And it was a gorgeous film that had no soul. It had been totally stripped of its soul. It was laughably bad. And I don't know why because if you had literally just taken the book and word for word put it on screen, it would have been fine. Because most of those action scenes, like if those aren't in there, there are plenty of action scenes in here that they didn't put in the movie. So if they wanted a lot of action, there's a ton of action in the book. And it also has some character development some growth and some emotional moments. And they try to manufacture emotional moments, which is really silly when there already are really emotional moments in the book. Just put those in there. It'd be different if the book was just bare bones and a lot of science.  So we're gonna put some in even though they're not in the book. No, the book has more emotional moments. So they created these random ones that weren't in the book to have emotional impact when they could have just left the ones from the book in there. And those would have worked so much better. So information, if you're gonna see the movie or read the book, I recommend reading the book. It's not super long. The audio book is pretty good. So if you wanna listen to it, that's also it's not, I think it's like five or six hours. An audio book is not very long, but yeah, it could have been super cool.   But if you accept that premise, I've seen movies with dumber premises. As long as the rest of it holds up and it's interesting and you care about the characters, you can have a dumb premise and people will buy it. You just have to make it worth it. And they did not make it worth it. That movie was, it was just so sad to see all those resources wasted on this huge big budget spectacular looking movie, which had good actors in it. I don't fault the actors. I like all the actors who played Tom and Hester and Bevis and Catherine. They could have all played the characters. Hugo Weaving could have played Valentine. In Hugo Weaving, we've seen play a more complex character where you have a redemption arc and he could have played the shit out of that. And it would have been so much better.  I'm like, why not let the man act? He can act. Give him the more meaty role of somebody who's done a lot of bad things and finally, you know, draws the line when it's too late. Like that's so much more powerful on screen as an actor, as an audience member. Like, why, why would you like castrated the story? You're like completely stripped it of its meaning, of its soul and just did a bunch of action, which at that point, why even make it the mortal engines? Like you're not interested in any of the story of the characters. You're just in it to have these cities rolling around, attacking each other Mad Max style. So why even call it the mortal engines? Just do your own thing. Let me know in the comments down below if you've read the book, if you've seen the movie. If you enjoyed this book to film kind of critique, it's never occurred to me to do this before, but it was kind of fun doing it especially because it was so bad, so I had a lot to say. But if you like this kind of video, I can do it again, because they make book to film adaptations. So I can do old ones. If there's ones you want to see me do, I'd be glad to if that's something you like or if you never ever want me to do this again, you can let me know that too because then I won't waste my time. Anyway, let me know in the comments down below anything and everything. I'll see you in my next video. Bye.
