Let's move to Laila. Thank you, Tanaka-san. Well, we are on the second day of the World Policy Conference, the end of the second day, so I will not insist again on the fact that the global context has changed again over the last decade, and I think, and I have some slides actually that need to be, that they need to be projected, but thank you. And after, I think they're very comprehensive and excellent picture that Olivier has shared with us on all the aspect that have changed over the last decade, I'll just focus on a couple of points, some couple of subtle trends that are, that have been changing over the last 10 years, but not going a little bit more unnoticed than the rest. Should we wait for the slides or should I just proceed? Is the slide coming? It's coming, but you can talk. All right, so the first point that I wanted to mention, I mean, Mr. Bakuri over lunchtime has rightly pointed out that, for example, PV, solar PV module costs have decreased over time, so they have actually dropped 80% between 2010 and 2017. That's a massive drop, but I would really want to insist on another cost decrease that is happening in the energy sector, which is related to storage, electricity storage. And that's, I agree, mostly driven by EV batteries, but at the same time, I mean, it's quite important to mention those cost drops that we've seen in the battery in the, including the stationary applications, the grid-scale batteries. So electricity storage in general have been decreasing 60% to 80% since 2010. And they are expected to drop by the various agencies, investment banks and researchers by an additional 50 to 60% by 2030. But I really want to point out the large uncertainty that is prevailing in these outlooks. Large uncertainty because we don't know which technology will prevail. We don't know which chemistry is going to prevail. We don't know how much money, R&D money will be put in those technologies where the manufacturing capabilities will be focused or concentrated in the next few years. And of course, government support. How will government support will evolve over time? But I think it's fair to say that we can see some additional cost decreases in energy storage as well in a wider sense. The implication for me or the implication for any energy player in the scene, companies and countries alike is a race. A race to gain leadership in technologies. And beyond that, a race to secure access to the materials and commodities that are underlined these storage technologies. And I will give some examples later on. The second point, the second subtle change that I am seeing at least in the energy sector over the last decade. I mean, of course, there has been an unprecedented volatility in oil prices. And it has been widely documented in press. And we all know about it when oil prices increased to $140 in 2008 before dropping to $20 to $30. And now we are in that 70 to 80 band around that. So here again, we would argue, I mean, any planner will argue that this is just another commodity cycle and nobody really likes commodity cycles. And it's an uncertainty that we have to live with. And I think the industry has been very used to live with this sort of uncertainty. But the implication of these volatility is, I think, every planner's nightmare. We are today in a situation where oil demand outlooks can go from, I mean, today's market of around 100 million bars a day to anywhere between, I mean, it can increase to 80 million bars a day by 2040 or grow, increase to 112, 150 million bars a day. When you are in an industry with huge capital investment programs, it's really a nightmare to be able to plan in those circumstances. So today that gives another type of race as well. Race for cost leadership, race for profitability, but also a race to guarantee some sort of security of demand. And that security of demand is slightly different from the traditional definition of security of demand that we have seen over, I would say, the last two decades in the oil markets. We are seeing today several players investing in securing demand for oil and gas in established markets. So you invest in making sure that the IC engines continue to be the engines of the future for sustainable transport. You continue to invest in low emission fuels. And in onboard CO2 capture, we see that in the heavy duty vehicles, in the shipping industry as well. We are seeing a lot of changes happening there in those established markets. But you also see another trend in a race to capture market share in new markets for crude and gas. And I'm thinking here about, of course, petrochemicals, plastics, polymers for crude and for oil products in general, and transportation for gas. And in this context, there will be, in the discussion to prepare this panel, we talked a lot about revalories. And I prefer to use the word shifting alliances. So there will be a lot of shifting alliances. There will be a lot of, I would say, proactive strategies. I prefer to use this word. But, and we should not forget that in addition to the traditional alliances that we are used to in this, here again, highly capital intensive sector, the alliances today in many cases are being driven by large corporations, private corporations, but also large, increasingly large sovereign funds, other national champions of new forms, and national oil companies, large national oil companies which in many cases are being perceived as competing with each other because they are pursuing similar objectives and similar strategies. They all want business integration. They all want downstream investments. They all want global footprint because there's a limit to what you can achieve in your domestic market. There's a limit to what you can sell in your domestic market. And there's, especially if you are heavily exposed to mature domestic assets. So these proactive strategies that I've been talking about, all those shifting alliances are driven by these three key aspects. The first one is, as I mentioned, the race to secure market share by making sure that we are, that we continue to be low cost as much as possible. And through, of course, optimal extraction of resources and increasingly important capital discipline, especially after the volatility of all prices that we have seen. And in addition to the low cost position, this would be coupled increasingly with the low carbon intensity of some operations. So you put that in a melting pot. And the conclusion is that, of course, the Russians in the Middle East and NOCs are very well positioned because to take advantage of their low cost position, we are talking about 2 to 4 dollars per barrel of oil equivalent for development and production costs. There will be a bigger challenge, of course, for Latin Americans, Asian NOCs, because simply their costs are more than double that. Or for Canadian players, which are disadvantaged by the carbon intensity of their upstream operations. One word on capital discipline. I mentioned spending rates in the industry have been scaled back in the wider industry by NOCs and IOC's majors all alike. And we've seen cuts in exploration budgets, which, and I will talk about it a little bit later on in my conclusion, might be triggering another commodity cycle that none of us actually like in the end. But most of the national oil companies today are investing at higher rates than the majors. But in general, I think it's quite important to mention here, just a caveat, that apart from CNOC, Petronas, and Sinopec, investments of most national oil companies are very much focused on domestic projects and domestic markets. And this is the reason why you see now this rapprochement that Olivier has mentioned between the Russians, which are differentiated by their, by the scale, by their portfolio longevity. The Russians, which are now courting national oil companies from the Middle East, while you have the Asian national oil companies still focusing very much in the short term on resource capture initiatives, but not at any price. And we have several examples in the headlines.  Qatar emerging as a major shareholder in Rosneft. That's another example, 18.95% in the $9 billion deal because the talks with China's CFC have collapsed. So these are all examples in the headline that sort of support these hypothesis that I presented here. And since we are talking about market share, I thought it was quite important to say a word about the chemicals business more specifically because there's a question that I very often get is why is the chemical business increasingly considered in integration with refining capacity, with downstream investments. One example is Saudi Arabia aiming to increase refining capacity to 8 to 10 million bars a day and to double the pet cam capacity by 2030. Here, the scale of the investments definitely has a weight in the market of some key petrochemical products, but also potentially it raises some concerns around the long-term financial performance of the business because the issue that we are facing is that in many cases the return on capital employed of a petrochemical project or a chemical project is registered single-digit percentages while the industry, as we all know, prefers to have 15% returns usually. So the integration with refining becomes very valuable and very important. We need much more capital discipline in the area. In the basket of opportunities, it would be also great to add some quick wins in terms of merchant acquisitions to be able to build this sustainable chemicals business coupled with refining. But these are really the only ways that we could see to improve the financial performance of this important business for the oil industry. The upside is that market access to the same demand growth centers targeted by oil and gas, namely China, India, Southeast Asia, et cetera, really facilitates the building of brands, the building of presence, which is much more important in the petrochemical industry. And it also facilitates strategic partnerships with major corporations in those countries. But we still need, and I think the industry is realizing that we really need large marketing efforts, large branding efforts to be able to establish a presence, a sustainable presence in this important market for crude. And the third race that I mentioned in my introduction was around the technologies and commodities. We are faced in a situation. I used the example of energy storage where many countries and companies are engaged in a race to secure the minerals and materials to take leadership in clean and storage technologies. So for example, I mean, it was already mentioned a few times that China has been leading global investments in renewable energy. We all know that. What has been less documented is that the country has been quite aggressive in its race to dominate in energy storage as well. So for example, and now it's very clear, by the end of 2017, the country has issued a unified nationwide policy to boost the energy storage industry in the country. So to give you just some order of magnitude, the Chinese industrial capacity at the end of last year was around 389 megawatt. And between in January and June of this year, so during six months of this year, they put in place new energy storage projects of around 340 megawatts. So we are doubling the capacity in six months. And that's across the country in various provinces, including Guangdong, including Jiangsu, et cetera. One word about the technologies themselves, I mean, apart from hydro, where we have many countries that have installed them over the years, the three key other families, lithium-ion flow batteries and high temperatures, they all have this large cost reduction potential that I mentioned earlier with the caveat that it comes with a large uncertainty. So for example, lithium-ion batteries for stationary applications could drop up to 60% by 2030. And that will depend a lot on which battery chemistry we are following. But the stationary applications and I insist on that have much higher costs than the EV applications because you need battery management systems. You need more hardware for the stationary applications. But they are benefiting, of course, from the growth in the EV industry. And the flow batteries, and these are my personal favorites, not only because of the beautiful colors that we see in a Venetian flow battery, these batteries can actually drop, the other costs can actually drop two-thirds between now and 2030. Here again, huge uncertainty, but the beauty of flow batteries is that they are independently scalable and the power and energy storage characteristics make them very much scalable and modulable, which makes them very well applicable for grid-scale solutions. But all this rosy picture, of course, decreases, comes at the price. And the price that I wanted to highlight here is the minerals and commodities that are on which these technologies are dependent on. So the issue that we have today is that all the technologies around energy storage revolves around just a few key commodities. We have the NMC, the Nickel Manganese Cobalt. We have copper, lithium, of course, graphite, zinc, and now increasingly, vanadium. Copper and nickel are already key industrial materials, key industrial metals, which are trading on commodities exchanges and consumers are very much used to managing supply risks. Manganese and graphite supplies are available in sufficient quantities, but the issue now is really around cobalt, and you see in my slide the price volatility in cobalt and lithium, because there are major concerns, as we know, around security of supply for those two commodities. And cobalt primarily is driving some country's strategies, including China, and China's aggressive investments in DRC, Democratic Republic of Congo, where 60% of supplies of cobalt are concentrated, is quite key there, but it comes, as we know, with political instability, with conflicts over mineral issues, et cetera. So even if the industry and the research development in the energy storage is trying as much as possible to reduce its dependence towards cobalt and other key commodities there by switching to less cobalt-rich cathodes or trying other alternatives, the five leading lithium-ion battery manufacturers that Mr. Carlos Ghosn has referred to are definitely still dependent a lot on cobalt supplies. So in conclusion, we talked about the U.S., Russia, Middle East, China, a little bit about the EU as well. I mean, of course, there is a lot of repositioning and alliances and changing alliances in today's world, but I think it's quite important to mention that there is still continuous emphasis and a continuous focus on the key fundamentals, which is growth, profitability, and increasingly trying to have a proactive technology strategy because that's really a must for the future. One key area that has been neglected so far, and I would like to finish on that, is really system flexibility, much more than system security, actually. And I see that, and I've been an advocate actually myself of the LNG industry as well because it's bringing liquefied gas from the other side of the world frozen at minus 162 degrees Celsius minus 260 degrees Fahrenheit is a beautiful technical challenge. It's a beautiful commercial challenge, but it does not necessarily answer the issue of system flexibility simply because the market mechanisms that we have today are not mature enough to reward system flexibility. We still have pricing mismatch. We still have arbitrage that the traders and the industry is taking advantage of and we still have marketing efficiencies that hampers energy system flexibility to be properly rewarded. So ideally, we want to have more tradability, more connectivity between regions, between neighboring countries and with global markets. And then there's no secret there. We need more investments in infrastructure, in midstream and downstream infrastructure for that. So that's why I focused surprisingly most of my presentation on storage because there is a growing awareness in the industry, whether we like it or not, that energy storage is of incredible paramount importance because in the country where I'm based there's a large swing of demand, for example. You see in many other countries a massive introduction of renewable energy and in many cases, this questions the large capital investment programs in the oil and gas part of the industry and that creates another commodity cycle, another cycle of volatility that is definitely not in the interest of the producers and not in the interest of the consumers. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you, Leda. Very good presentation. One point, I want to ask you that IA3 agree with many of the points you raised. For example, the industrial use of gas and oil will increase rather than fuel. The future of the gas, for example, it's not the fuel for the power generation. It's going to be the petrochemical as an input. So, and also I understand that for the storage, it's Saudi Aramco serious about using hydrogen as a possible way of storage of the clean source of hydrocarbon, I mean, non-carbon fuel. I talked with some of the CTO of Saudi Aramco that taking out the carbon dioxide and put underground as an enhanced oil recovery is a capture and storage. So, the hydrogen becomes the clean source. So, by doing so, exporting clean oil as hydrogen is one of the technological options for Saudi Aramco.  Here, I am not speaking in my capacity as Saudi Aramco here. So, I will not make a comment on that. I think, I mean, I can only comment on what the industry is doing on that. And there are many, many initiatives. OGCI is one of them. And I think a lot of the players in industry are quite serious in investing as much as possible. As I mentioned earlier, to reduce, to try to preserve market share in established markets as much as possible and include in capturing CO2 in multiple applications. That's all what I can say on that. Thank you very much.


the time you put in to just like choose that particular color. I mean people are not able to see that. I recently stumbled upon this idea that you should work with your garage door open, opened up. But if you want to build on this analogy and understand it, working with your garage door up basically translates into some sort of transparency, right? Again it's not being afraid of sharing your work, of sharing your journey and you know documenting the process all along and if I have to translate this into some practical advice one can use it's essentially about sharing your work and adding some sort of transparency to your work. And I also think that it's kind of an interesting idea for most creative people out there who are too afraid of sharing their journey or sharing their path or their context and their struggles really as they might be too afraid of people judging their work and judging their journey and also judging their context and their craft and also judging the tools they use and the foods they eat and you know the life they are living so I'm going pretty meta here.  And again it's about documenting your journey and sharing it online or sending it via postcard. And when thinking about this idea I also started to remember a movie I saw but there was one scene in a movie where this guy came in and he was new in his office. He was delivering like his intro speech because he was lost and at some point he said that you know my door is always open you can come in whenever you want and then he did this thing where he pulled off his door and like like threw the door away I'm not sure but essentially he had no door anymore so that people could come in or you know see when he wasn't there or even screwing around really. Which is not always a good strategy if you are working in the office and you are that person who wants to scroll through social media all day but then I started thinking once again that in this day of age people are always seeing the finished product. This is actually what we share online while we share on social media people can simply see the finished product they are not able to see the work you put in. So let's say you are programming or you know writing your blog trying to come up with that perfect font and also working on your design needs on your logo the time you put in to just like choose that particular color I mean people are not able to see that. People are not able to see the struggles the lack of motivation or discipline or call it whatever you want really because again that's not out there you are not working with your garage door open up and this sometimes might be a good strategy but for some people I don't think it is. I mean of course if you think you have some sort of a revolutionary product like Steve Jobs did and you know and if you are afraid that someone might steal it or something you can actually close the door but if you really think about it it's all interconnected. We are too afraid of showing our work because people might again judge us we are too afraid of going with an incomplete picture and we would rather not show the picture at all but your thought patterns are oftentimes buggy only in your mind. You understand people who are concerned about privacy and confidentiality but I do believe that sometimes creative people should let their ideas flow around and I know that there's there's there's one quote out there which states that that the secret to you know being creative is actually knowing how to hide your resources and this might be true but let's face it even though some people do have access to your resources and can to some degree reproduce your work and for the most part they do because you know we live on the internet but they won't be able to reproduce your thought patterns your your context your design taste the way you type or the way you phrase things or the way you think about things and this is why I started streaming my working sessions here on YouTube and also on Twitch and I'm streaming and I'm showing the things I would normally do anyway like updating my website or writing a script or possibly even editing a video live on stream I'm also planning at some point to start you know learning programming from scratch straight on stream and you know I might change my mind and I'm I'm not afraid to say it but overall I do enjoy this analogy working with your with your garage door open and also I want to take a note and say that this is simply a way of saying it you can of course replace it with something like working with your carport open and if you are a student you can also leave your door open so that people can come in for study session and you know things like that it's just an analogy guys don't don't get picky and you can also pull the door like JT did and I do not have a garage door that I can open up I believe those are kind of expensive anyway but if you want to shave a few seconds here and there each day I believe it's a pretty decent acquisition but again the main idea is to share your incomplete work to share the things you are working on right now or or or even your your struggles the things you are struggling with and if you want an inspiration burst you can check this book by Austin Cleon which runs under the name of show your work that's pretty obvious and this guy Austin Cleon is a writer who draws and he's talking about this thing called flow and it's not the same type of flow you're used to like getting into a flow state but more about the daily flow of input of your you know idea generation process and the flow is essentially a daily reminder that you sort of exist and then you have this next thing called stock and the stock is essentially the lasting content that you produce and based on your daily workflow and the things you are sharing online and the feedback loops you are quickly building that flow will soon transform into stock as the patterns will tied up together into a sparking cocktail of useful information and of course this is your decision I don't think you need to share everything really and it's also about the taste I mean you don't need to go and tackle the extremes but I think that for most people working with your garage door open uh might sometimes be your advantage they also learned that there is this twitch streamer who created a game using his community like the people who are in his chat so he created a game by connecting with people there because he was sharing his uh you know playing sessions there's also about the personality and the way he you know interacted with people but still pretty pretty damn good thing but overall I think that working with the door up sort of overshadows the negative aspects of it and it's also interesting because you might find like-minded people who really enjoy your work but they were not able to access it because you were not putting your work out there and again I read that online it's not an extended version of it really but I was thinking about it when trying to create my next video so I was struggling kind of process and footage so I was thinking like I wish I wish people could see the background of like like what's happening behind the scenes and I know that people are kind of sharing that online nowadays but there are still people out there who are not doing it so what I did I I jumped on the computer and I started typing I pulled out I scanned the online I pulled out the resources the articles everything was on my feed and I just like a huge brain dump and this video came out of it I hope you found it uh vaguely useful you can try experimenting with this method and uh you know start sharing your work and putting yourself out there and it's about finding the right balance the the things work for you and again thank you for watching and I will see you in the next one


Wow Holy cow. That's a lot of cat poop. This is how you do not live. Yeah, this is what you do not want in your house Yeah, at any time


What's going on you guys? We have a very special episode of the single guy channel today. We have two special guests We have mr. Dave Barada and David how to beast So a lot of you guys know these people already, so it's a pleasure to have them on the program right now What we're gonna do is we're gonna cover several different text messages Okay, so the first text message that we're gonna cover is something that I've seen a lot of my students And I'm sure Dave and you David as well seen guys make these kinds of messages before This is kind of like the bad version of it So we're gonna show you the bad version What this guy sends and then we're gonna show you a better version of what he could have sent and probably gotten a better reaction So let's don't write into the text messages. You ready guys? Let's go. All right, cool So here's the simple example basically he got this girl's number or not number But he matched with her off of a dating app and so he starts out pretty frickin boring So there's not too much wrong I see at the beginning But he just basically starts with hey, and then she responds with hey Explanation mark and then he's like what's up, and then she's like nothing much. How are you question mark? And he says I'm chilling. So what do we think of this so far? you got that this girl seems like pretty excited to talk to you but You're not like making it easy right you want to make it easy Like remove the friction of her having to think of the next thing to say because a lot of people are just gonna get Uncomfortable. Yeah, and just stop replying. Absolutely. So I call this guy the mr. Cool guy Basically, he's been too cool for school, and you're gonna see how it gets a little worse and worse this time goes on But I think exactly right so she's like I'm chillin.  It's like, you know How do you respond to that? She basically the saying the best thing and he goes immediately into it He goes so you want to send me that phone number question mark? And she responds with um can we talk here a little bit here first? I just want to get to know you more And then afterwards he says yeah, I'm not trying to waste time Either you want this or you don't and then she says okay I'm not sure if I do and then he ends with cool, and that's the end of the text Dude there's nothing after that man So a lot of problems with that conversation first like you've given her no substance at all It's all right to go for the number after a couple takes But you're gonna like try to show off a little bit of your personality like a little something in there So she knows I alright this guy ain't a freaking in a weirdo. He at least has like a little bit of social intelligence Here he didn't do any of that. Yeah, absolutely Um, he's like I said, he's just trying to be Mr. Cool man Trying to say the most cool alpha thing and he's not doing anything to build a connection with this woman Yeah, since those messages on the date nap doesn't make you like cool alpha.  And so there's a few things I mean he asked for the number really quickly I actually think that's okay, but he just didn't have any reason for her to give her number out to him Like why would a girl give her number out to some guy who's just being like too cool for school and being like kind of a dick Honestly, yeah, like there's just no reason to you know I've been in the reverse of this and a lot of y'all have probably been in the reverse this where you're talking to a girl It's like you're like banging your head against the wall I'm trying to like pull teeth here And then you're like if I get on date with this girl a lot of times you do get on date with a girl It's like the same thing man It's a fucking girl like but it's the same thing a girl's not gonna be want to hang out with you if this is boring Yeah, yeah other than him being cold like he's not showing any of his personality He's not giving her anything to work with and there's no chance that anything can actually happen from this So I see a lot of guys sending this message and I think it comes from a little bit of insecurity You know, they don't want to show their personalities They're afraid the girls gonna reject them and at least you know Maybe he says it like this and at least he feels like he looks cool or it looks I don't know Whatever looks like a badass after he's done it And I've seen a lot of guys text this and when they look at they send me the message and they're like Lloyd Why didn't she respond and I'm like dude, you literally just wrote cool What do you want her to say to that bro? Nothing to talk about. Yeah, you have to leave the conversation as a guy If you don't do that don't expect her to do it for you Yeah, I mean if you have a if you have a confident personality You're going to put yourself out there a little bit and this guy has done none of that and there's no surprise that she Yeah, you know talk to her talk to her in the way that she did she was actually be really friendly at the beginning Like I think to this girl actually really liked him and you know, he kind of wasted that opportunity All right, so let's look at a better version Okay, very similar situation this person matched with this girl on a dating app And so the first message that he sends is I'm going to take a wild guess and say that your third picture was at Coachella She goes not quite. It was at this festival called electric forest And then he says ha ha I've heard of that one before are you also getting withdrawals from not being able to festival anymore? And she says oh my god. Yes, I want to be at EDC so badly this year So already how does this sound so far in comparison to the last message that we've read I was like he found a common interest and he You know use that to like empathize with her and do this but something that they're both passionate about I could care less about festivals myself, but that's a powerful thing to do with anyone Yeah, absolutely. It doesn't matter what you start with but I always like to comment on something with her profile You know and he's putting himself out there too by saying hey, you know like I've heard of Coachella I've heard of electric force and stuff like that. He's actually giving them something to talk about was before the guy Was giving them pretty much nothing What do you think did now? He really spiced it up like he like like B said he really empathized He made it he made it easy for her to respond and now that she has a connection She knows they both like festivals. Yeah, this could go somewhere exactly So a lot of people might say oh well, what if I can't see a connection? What if I haven't been to Coachella? So there's three ways to make a connection number one is if you've had a shared experience Number two is if you've known someone who's had that shared experience like maybe a friend did that So in this case, I said oh, I've never been to that but I've had friends who've gone And the last way is just to say hey listen I've never heard anything about that would love to learn more like please tell me more about it So that's three ways that you can make a connection regardless of whether you've actually done the thing that they've done or not Okay, so she says So an example of the last thing would be like yeah because I'm not someone who's going to festivals But I saw a girl and I might not be super attracted like a crazy festival girl Let's say I was like all right. She seems cool. Some other photos are cool.  And then now then she might be like yeah, like I'm so obsessed. I love him. How about you? I've never gone like but then you could still ask the follow-up question. They are like why why do you enjoy them so much exactly? Exactly. Yeah, exactly. It gives her the opportunity to kind of show you something Learn more about her and you're not doing it in a way That's like you're trying to pretend like you already know what she's talking about which a lot of guys do it It gets into a lot of trouble Okay, cool. So she says like I said, oh my god.  That's why my friends and I go to some of these smaller silent discos Do you know what those are? Question mark and she says I've never been to one, but I would love to go And you say ha ha nice. Yes, they are super fun I'd love to see you there sometime and she goes that sounds nice smiley face So it's going pretty well And then he says yeah, you'd have a lot of fun By the way, I don't get on here much Do you mind if we text and then she goes I suppose and then guys the smiley face and then it gives all of the Numbers after that. Yeah, so I was gonna say like that's a it's a solid like wrap up in terms of like like how How he led into it, but I think maybe what beast is gonna say to you It's probably that you might have been able to even leave that a little bit better Mm-hmm, right instead of like yeah, you'd have a lot of fun But why don't we start with the drink to make sure if you're cool or something like that first to kind of like Lead things in into some something that like tangible because they're not probably gonna go to a silent disco for the first day, right? Probably not But what I liked about it though was he was kind of testing the waters He was saying I'd love to see you there sometime not organizing a date no definite plans He's just seeing if she's like not a little bit of a future projection I'm doing something like that in the future. The first date probably isn't gonna be a sign of disco It's probably just gonna be something a lot more casual getting a cup of coffee getting a drink Even girls going for a walk through a park. It would have even better I recommend the more casual things but he's testing the waters and seeing if she's like interested to possibly do that in the future Yeah, he probably could have skipped the last three messages and just said you seem really cool Do you want to hang out sometime and almost definitely she would have given him the phone number Yeah, and it might have happened quicker But if anything this is an example that because he was empathizing and sending easy to reply to text messages They were showing interest in her like even though he didn't take the super like alpha like leading approach Yeah, it's still worked. Yeah, absolutely. And so like even though there was some stuff this guy could have improved I thought it was miles better than the first one that we saw just because you know, he's actually showing his personality He's actually trying to find common interests, you know, and he's leading it somewhere now There's a reason for them to talk in the future You know, maybe she he can send her the address of the next silent disco that's happening Or maybe they can talk about other festivals that they like to go to before the other guy had no reason No point no connections So it's not a surprise that she didn't want to give that phone number up Well, I think it's kind of an interesting point. I don't think anyone loves using dating apps It loves the idea of using dating apps Maybe like the dopamine hit you get from the validation and the matches like you do enjoy but If you take something that people don't already love that they have to do and then you make it even harder by sending like the most Just like stale text messages. Yeah This is not gonna work. You're already making a bad situation even worse Yeah, you know like have some fun with it like everyone like like you said Most girls hate them too and my principle is like I'm trying to get her off the dating app as quickly as possible But there's a good way about doing it and there's I'm not so good way about doing it. Cool All right, you guys well if you got a lot out of this, please subscribe to my YouTube channel Please subscribe to Dave's and how to be so I'm sure you guys have seen some of them already But they break down a lot of this stuff too.

What is going on everybody, Estas here. Welcome back to another video. So in this video, we're going to be doing an overall market update. Looking at the Dow Jones, the S&P 500, and the Nasdaq, we're going to be talking about two trades that I made today on the 8th of March and 2019, as well as taking a look at some other stocks and ETFs that performed well today, and that I personally see potential in here over these next couple of weeks, heading off into the middle of March and 2019. But before we do get into all of these topics, guys, for everybody out there that finds value in these videos, feel free to go down below and hit that like button, guys.

Again, both of those are linked down below, and they are 100% free. Feel free to join those up to you. And let's get started with today's video. Starting off here with the SPX, the S&P 500 Index, the 500 largest publicly traded U.S. companies. We ended up closing the day today down about $5.86, down about 0.21%. The Dow Jones ended up closing the day down about $23, down about 0.09%. And the NASDAQ Composite, guys, we can see it's currently up about 50 cents, up around 0.01%. But this is the future, and if we look on the one day, one minute here, we can see, you know, it did have a nice big run here, so where did it close? Did it end up closing? Yeah, it ended up closing about minus 10 points, and we can see after market hours here, we did end up moving an extra 10 points in terms of the NASDAQ Composite. But this is not telling us the entire story of what ended up happening today. If you just look at the closing prices of the three major indices we talk about on this channel, you'd be like, okay, today wasn't too bad of a day, but that's false, because earlier on in the day, we were having a big, big sell-off. We can see this gap down in the SPX from about the close price yesterday at around $2,750, all the way down to about $2,723. So we did have about a 27-point drop this morning in terms of the SPX, and we can see on this intraday chart here, we had trouble breaking below this support level with three different bottoms, one in the morning, roughly at about 9.35 a.m. Eastern Standard, the second one being at around $2,723 again at about $10.07, and the third time we ended up holding that support was more towards the later afternoon, right around 1.05 p.m. Eastern Standard, and from there, we had a big, big run all the way back up to yesterday's support, which is obviously a resistance right now on the smaller term frames. And if we're taking a look on this SPX chart on the bigger, broader basis here, we've been talking about the potential sell-off and further sell-off that we're seeing here in the S&P 500 based off of these technicals. And for those of you guys that are new to the channel, missed the past couple of videos, we've been identifying multiple indications here, indicators that the SPX was selling off. If you guys recall about three, four days ago, we were calling out this double top here as a potential bearish sign for the SPX, and then the next day after we saw that, we broke below the 50SMA and the EMA support levels. We ended up breaking below the support of this channel that we've been watching here on the 30-day 90-minute chart the day after that. And pretty much every single day, guys, it feels like we've been getting further and further indications that we're selling off in terms of this major indices. And then yesterday, was it yesterday or the day before? I'm pretty sure it was yesterday. We ended up breaking the 50SMA support here. Actually, no, that was two days ago. And then yesterday, we ended up breaking this new support below the 50SMA here at the previous resistance from back in the beginning of February right at around 2741. We broke below that. So that was about four or five indicators that we were selling and continuing to sell off in terms of the SPX. But what are we seeing right now, guys, with that nice run towards the end of the market here, the latter half of the day? We're trending right around that same point at about 2740. And right now, it's acting as a resistance point since we broke below it. Obviously, when we break below a support level, it becomes a new resistance. And that's exactly where we are right now in terms of the SPX. So technically, guys, on a technically speaking basis here, we are not really looking at any support levels anytime soon until about $2,690. Actually, no, that's false, probably around $2,700 in terms of the SPX. So if we did sell off next week, you know, down to about 2,700, that wouldn't really shock me, right? But if we pop up above 2,740 next week and start at the trend back up towards that 50SMA, maybe about 20, 15, 20 points above where we are right now, that wouldn't shock me either. And if that ended up happening, we would be looking at 2,740 as a new support level again. And that will change, you know, our technical perspective of what is going on. But as of right now at the close, we're still trending below this resistance with the next potential support we're heading to if we continue to sell off at around $2,700. And if we're taking a look on a closer term basis here, we actually ended up breaking the 50SMA resistance on this five-day five-minute chart, which was actually a really critical resistance point over the past couple of trading days, in particular, the past three trading days, right? We can see the 6th of March here, we struggled to break above that level the next day, we gapped down, struggled to break above the level. Today, we gapped down again, we struggled to break above the level, but we saw those three different bottoms at that support level, and then we ended up popping above the 50SMA. So that's a good sign on a smaller term timeframe basis here that we could potentially be heading back up in terms of the SPX. But we're also at this resistance here under the 180SMA. So this is a very critical point for you guys to be keeping an eye on, and I'm keeping an eye on this myself throughout the next week here. And those are the levels, guys, I'm waiting for and looking at in terms of the SPX here on all of these different charts. So the Dow Jones, very similar to the SPX guys, right? We got multiple indications over the past couple of trading days that we were selling off. We got the double top, the break below the 50SMA and EMA support levels. We got the break below the channel yesterday. We got the break, or two days ago, we got the break below the 50SMA here. And then yesterday, we got the break below this support level, which was a previous resistance from the beginning of February at about $25,400. We broke below that, and now we're trending right back at that level, treating it as a resistance point. So in terms of the Dow Jones chart, it's looking very similar, right? Looking very, very similar to the SPX we can see on the five day five minute. It's like we're looking at the same exact chart, right? We're trending below, or we were trending below these resistance levels at the 50 and the 180SMAs. We popped up above it today on this triple bottom here that we saw, you know, up until the latter half in the middle of the day today, we broke above the 50SMA. And now we're testing that 180SMA resistance. So tomorrow or not tomorrow, guys, I wish the market was open tomorrow. I honestly wish the market was open all week. But Monday, guys, we're going to be looking for a potential pop up here and a potential test on the 50SMA resistance. Or if we don't get that, let's see if we get rejected and we continue to push down the level I'm going to be waiting for to see potentially we're heading to next, roughly at about $25,000 in terms of the Dow Jones industrial average. And talking about the NASDAQ here very quickly, guys, we did see a very nice bounce on the 180 simple moving average support here on the 184 hour chart. It's looking like we're also holding above this previous support or previous resistance rather at about $6,900. Although we didn't get all the way down to it, the fact that we're holding above that level, that is a good sign that we could potentially be heading back up in terms of the NASDAQ. And just like the Dow, just like the SPX guys, the NASDAQ is no different. We've been getting signs of indications and indicators that we're pulling back over the past couple of days. And we saw the huge sell off yesterday. We actually dropped more than the Dow and the SPX yesterday in terms of the NASDAQ. We dropped about 1.3%, I believe, at the close of the day. And the fact that we're holding this 180SMA support guy is very good sign that we could potentially be heading back up next week. And I'm watching this potential pop up to the 50SMA support or resistance rather, are we going to break above that to potentially test $7,100 again? That's what I'm watching next week. And of course, if we break to the downside here, that's not going to be too good on a technical basis. We'll be testing that support at around $6,900 at that point. And if we break that level, that's going to be very, very bad for the NASDAQ on a technical basis. So that's what I ended up trading, not trading. That's what the overall markets are looking like, guys. I've recorded a couple of different videos today, so my mind's a little bit jumbled here. But that's what the market's looking like. The end of the day, the closing price doesn't really tell the entire story. We were looking like we were having a bloody red day this morning, but things ended up swinging back up. Things ended up turning around, which is a pretty good sign here that the markets could potentially be heading back up this next week. And only time will tell, of course, the futures. What we're going to be looking at, large cap stocks, pre-market hours, and of course, the futures market opens at 6 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on Sunday. That's where we'll be able to see some of these market futures and to see where the market could potentially be headed over the next couple of, or really the next week. And that's what we're going to be doing in terms of next week. So what did I end up trading today, guys? Well, for those of you all that have been watching the channel for a while, or really the past week and a half, two weeks, you know that I took a position in Coca-Cola. Well, that position, guys, didn't really go too well for me. It didn't go as planned. The technicals from the jump weren't looking that great. I ended up getting in on this $45 support level. I built a small position with hopes of it getting above the $46 level for me to add more money. That did not end up happening whatsoever. We can see actually a very clear rejection at that level, which honestly led me today to really break even and take a very minimal loss here on Coca-Cola stock. But for those of you guys that know my swing trading strategy, you know that I always enter in with an initial position that is about 10 to 15% of my goal position. So let's say, for example, $10,000 is my goal position for Coca-Cola. I entered in with $1,500 to $2,000, which in this case, guys, really helped me out because let's say you do enter in with an initial position that's smaller and the stock doesn't go your way and you have to cut your losses, you know, you're not going to lose as much money as let's say you put in $10,000 right off the bat and that same stock went down, you'd obviously lose more money that way, which is, you know, really important in my opinion, you just scale into your positions, right? This way, you can really just either average down if you want to, you can add more as the stock continues to push up. And this way, you really just protect your capital. And this is something that I've been doing. And it really helps me out and it really works. And in this case, guys, you know it really helped me out because I ended up taking the minimal loss. It was really, really not even that big of a loss whatsoever because I got out at about $49 and not $49, $44.90, which was very, very small guys because again, I got in at about $45 last week at this point, I think it was. And, you know, from $45 down to $49.50 or $49, not $49, why do I keep saying $49? $44.90, that's literally a 0.2% loss. And you may be asking like, Stas, why did you prematurely cut your losses on this one? Why don't you just ride it out, wait for the stop loss? Because if we're just judging on this five-day, five-minute chart, guys, you know, Coca-Cola, let's be honest, it's on a downtrend based off of these three, you know, previous trading days, right? We can see during these times, I was comfortable to hold it because we weren't moving up very quickly, but we weren't really selling off and we weren't really down trending. We were really slowly pushing up, which is something that I wanted to see for a potential break above $46. And we can see this day on the 6th of March, we did not get above $46. We actually topped off here. And then on this five-day, five-minute chart, we can see the break below the 50 SMA and the 180 SMA. And that led to the next day, which led to today. And the fact that we kept getting rejected and we kept pushing down, I just wanted to take my loss, cut it right there, and potentially reenter if we got out of this downward trending pattern on the five-day, five-minute, we obviously did not. We downtrended for the rest of the day, pretty much all the way to $44.60. And if I had held guys, I would have been down about 1%, roughly 0.9% on the position, but I feel better with taking that very minimal loss now and just waiting to reenter. And this is something that I do sometimes, right? I don't always just let it ride out to hit my stop loss. Sometimes I set a manual stop, not manual. I cut my losses myself, right? I don't really just let it hit the stop loss all the time. And this way, I can get in at a better price if I do think about it. If I do think about it and want to get back in, I can get back in if I want to. So that's what I did in terms of Coca-Cola, guys. And the other one that I ended up trading today, guys, was Tesla ticker symbol TSLA. And Tesla did very, very well today. We can see here on the intraday, one-day, one-minute chart, beautiful uptrend, higher highs, higher lows for the entire day. We can see it held the 180 SMA all day as a support level, was pushing up. We actually pushed up all the way to 285, 286, pretty much with about 30 minutes left in the market here. And we can see Tesla's been trading in between this little channel here between 275, roughly 270, 275, up to about 284, roughly 285. We can see that very clearly. And the fact that we bounced here this morning at about 275 showed me that we're holding that support and we're slowly filling back up to the top resistance level, really just filling that gap from 270 back up to 282, 283. So that's really what I was waiting for today, guys. And this setup was looking very, very solid from the get go, right? We can see the pullback, the bounce, the hold above the support, really the hold at the support from yesterday at about 275. Very nice. We were pushing up, pushing up, pushing up. And I ended up just taking a very small day trade today in Tesla. I got in earlier on this morning on this pullback from 280 to 276. This opened up that margin of profit. And I got in roughly at about 277.50. And I just rode it up through this pullback here and I ended up popping it up at about $280. That's where I ended up taking my profits. And we can see not too big of a trade here, about a .75, .8% trade. And I'm very comfortable with taking my profits there, guys, especially on a Friday for all you guys that don't know. On Friday, I tend to not try and force things. I tend to not be greedy. Well, I'm not really greedy at all, but especially on Fridays, guys, I tend to be less greedy than my un-greedy self that I'm already un-greedy, if that makes any sense, right? So I tend to just be very conservative on Fridays. I took that little profit there. I took the loss in Coca-Cola. And that's really what I ended up doing today in terms of Tesla. And this leads me into some stocks that I'm watching for this upcoming week. And Tesla is actually at the top of my list for a potential swing trade. So Tesla right now is looking very good, guys, on a technical basis. We can see, like I said, the hold above the .275 support, we're breaking above that 282-283 level here after market hours with that push in the last 20-30 minutes of the market, which is a good sign that we're plowing through these resistance levels. And now if we hold this level, this is what I'm waiting for this upcoming week, if we hold the .285 level as a new support, I really think Tesla can get back into the 290s and potentially break above the .50s and made it test the top resistance portion of this downward trending channel, roughly at about $300. I think that's very, very possible, especially, again, if we hold the .280 level and we don't dip down back into the 270s. So Tesla, I'm watching Tesla very closely for this upcoming week. Another one I'm watching this upcoming week, guys, is TVIX. And for all you guys that don't know, TVIX is a market ETF trade very closely based upon the SPX, the S&P 500. Whenever the S&P 500 is selling off, TVIX is going up in price. And let's say the markets do sell off on Monday. Let's say we don't get above this level. We get another red day. We start to sell off the next support at about $2,700. What is that going to do? That's going to open up a ton of margin for profit on TVIX. And at that point, guys, TVIX is going to break out of this 180SMA resistance, which we can clearly see it got rejected at today. And at that point, this one can continue to run if the markets continue to sell off from there. And that is one that I'm watching very, very closely for this upcoming week. So another one I'm watching, guys, is going to be Kron, Kron actually CGC as well, and ACB Aurora Cannabis. These are all at levels right now. And especially CGC, this could be a breakout pattern in the making right here. Take a look at this wedge right here, we're either going to pop up above here, while it's looking like we're already holding the support here on the bottom portion of this wedge. And if we end up popping out and popping up here, and especially breaking out of this resistance, this one could be a runner back up into the $50 range, maybe $51, $52. Just keep an eye on the potential hold above this support and heading back into the $46, $47 level in terms of CGC. We can see Kron here, Kronos group, guys, we got the pullback even further pullback today of about 2.53%, but we're still holding that 50 SMA support. So if we pop up back until, let's say, the $22 level, that could be a good entry point back up to the $23 level. And ultimately back up to the all-time highs at about $24.50 to $25, ticker symbol C-R-O-N, watching that one very closely. And for all you guys that don't know, marijuana stocks, they tend to get very, very hot, right? They get hot. They can run 10%, 15%, 20% in a single day. So keep an eye, guys, one of these could potentially be a runner next week. They tend to run a lot sometimes. So we can see ACB is another one on a nice pullback here. This one actually had a red day today up about 2.24%. And we're going to be looking for a potential fill back up to about $825. So from where we are right now, up to $825 roughly. That offers about a 6% margin of profit. So that's looking pretty solid in terms of ACB. And that's going to be it for today's video, guys. If you guys want me to talk about more stocks, there's going to be a video on Sunday where I'm going over some stocks I'm watching for that week. And I also talk about stocks that you guys shout out to me either on Discord and the comment section here on YouTube on this video. So drop a comment down below right now.

Make up your mind. We'll start when you kill it and be in good spirits. Tourist of Grey Aches idiots, I'm Corbyn. Hasmola! Hasmola! And you can follow us on Instagram and Twitter. I'm Jusseek Olnton. It's so juicy. And uh, thank you very much for sending me a Patreon and a follow from our official Twitter account. And to today... And the Oscar goes to... Exactly. Yep. The, well, probably the joke. But that's about what we're here to discuss today. Nope. This will be a little different than our normal videos. But similar to if you saw the Joker one where we discussed who would play the Joker there Who could be the best Joker or from the actors we know from India very excitingly just I believe yesterday it was that India announced that their official selection that they chose not the Oscars the Oscars does not choose it India chose to send a gully boy right as their officials their free mission to the Oscars for the best foreign film right which we are very excited about and very It's like what are the there's so many things that have happened in our lives and on this channel where you can say What are the odds of this yeah the first trailer we ever saw the first film we ever saw in theaters? Yeah, and every little review of Depth of how that connected. I mean I got a freaking tattoo that says up in a time. I got so yes We are very excited for it And so we're not gonna do another review of it obviously, but we're gonna discuss It's chances of actually one getting the nomination and getting an Oscar Because we the moment this happened I know you got it on Twitter and our OSR thing just hundreds hundreds of messages about What do you think about this as the submission and I've seen everything from how cool and awesome is this too? Why did they choose this yes, so that's why we're touching on the controversy Yes, and so we're gonna discuss that and why One if we like it or if we think it's a brilliant idea Which I will discuss later in the program There's multiple get ready there's multiple reasons but so the other Films because this is that I put actually up a poll on YouTube last night Because I wanted to see what people thought about it. I said okay, so basically here are the films that were being considered by Yeah, by India. Well here. I first submission. I put the films that I've heard most people say they wanted to be submitted Okay, do we have an actual yes? I will show you okay, but We are I said what do you who do you think should have been the selection of? for the 2020 I said golly boy Uri on the Honda Honda super dogs or tombad Uri Blew it out of the water I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that it's very patriotic and it's great It's the core sure a lot of Indians of course and I 100% agree Uri is a fantastic film. You know we love that film. Yeah, if it had been selected I would have not been unhappy. No, absolutely I don't think obviously we haven't seen tombad or Super dogs, but I would have actually been happy with all three of those There's a reason I think actually golly boy is probably the best especially for being selected feel the same way of those options Yeah, that for me and again It's hard sometimes to differentiate the personal depth of the impact of that But if I put on just my critical hat away objectively of those options I too would have selected but here are the ones that were They're actual so these are the ones that the film Federation of India So the FFI are the ones that at the film Federation of India. You probably all know this They're the ones who select they have got these options and they decide this is the one We want to send to the Academy to represent India in the foreign film category. Yes And so gully boy is their selection. These are choices. They're the main ones that right We're but I hope And I'm done article 15 who have been an interesting choice would have been a very interesting choice Uri bad luck Kasari and the Tashkent files and some others Yeah, and there was a I mean because they have a ton of other things It says this apart regional language movies So they did include regional language movies to represent India. Yeah, okay any that we know no no not that we saw or Dear comrade a lot of people really enjoyed. Okay. That was a consideration So you know if you haven't seen this list to give you the regions They do them obviously with language and they've got pretty much everybody covered in some way shape or form But they looked at they've got Marathi to Lugu Gujarati cannot Bengali, but they picked Tamil obviously they pick gully boy But I want to discuss what the the other options that I put in the poll because there were what how many? 56,000 votes, which is crazy 50-60,000 people mostly 40% 40% said Uri and I believe once again It's fantastic But I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that it's so that's the core of Indians, right? And it's a great and it's a relevant story. Yeah So that was actually my first interesting way on the hunt a hun Got a higher score than gully boy in your poll Yeah, well a lot of that has to do with the fact that gully boy was selected and so people often want to go against it, right? But also people love that film and how the twists and turns so they wanted originality Which is something we can talk about with the Oscars, right and their selection process. Yes But the other options on the hunt a hun Super deluxe obviously we haven't seen but people who were really passionate about these two toon bad and super Yeah, the personal messages that I got which by the way, thank you for your messages a lot of the messages I just go in and see and don't reply to because it's just it's impossible to keep up with my messages on Instagram It's just I can't do it anymore a lot of I got a lot of people in my messages saying It should have been super deluxe. Yeah, and so obviously we haven't seen so we can't speak specifically to that Right, but from what we saw in the trailer. I think super deluxe would have been too complicated for Americans to understand. I Think I don't I haven't seen that so I can't say right. We don't know but I'm sure it's amazing and we will watch it Right. Don't worry, right toon bad. I know you don't say it is But it's a horror those do not unless they are transcendent of the genre like a get-out They do not get nominated for Oscars. I know you say it's not a horror, right? But it looks like a horror it would fall based on what we know about it because we haven't seen it In fact, we've talked about probably watching it. We'll watch it We were probably gonna watch it in October no promises because that's Halloween season and scary movies are popular in the history of the motion picture Academy Only one film has ever won the Oscar for best picture that was horror and that was the silence of the Lambs It won best director best actor best actress and best film the first and only film in the genre of horror to ever get an Oscar I think you can count on one hand Well, I think it's exorcist signs the Lambs and then get out get out or the three that got nominated That had a nomination and that's in the main category not foreign film, correct So that's why I odds of you getting a nom on a foreign film horror film is not gonna happen Once again, we know you say it's not a horror film. We will the Academy would see it that way We'd see it that way also in foreign category. They don't treat it the same as best picture, which is one of the issues I had a Right away with gully boy is because a lot of people the way we have a lot of problems with the academy As a lot of people do a lot of people do they get it right a lot of the time and they just freaking blow it And also their process as well. Yes, of course, they got in trouble a while back for being what 90 white men And so and they're trying to their credit to their credit make drastic changes quick But anyways, but still uh, but most of the time they don't actually have to watch these films to vote on them Which is really really sad Makes us both really hard But foreign film is one of the ones that often gets pushed on the wayside. Yeah, normally for foreign film You need one of those things. I believe It was the last year the year before that that one with the transgender girl from uh, uh, yes, yes, yes Fantastic film saw it loved it. Um, but you need something like that It's political and almost cultural so they like everybody that's the hype around it for those. Yeah, for example Academy members won't watch what they should be voting on Therefore they will select the film that they've heard the most about yes so Going into gully boy. This is why I think Obviously, we love the the direction. We love the acting. We love this music. And so it's an all-around fantastic It's a great movie. Yeah, um, and it has worked in the past. Obviously eight miles a similar story It's not I think it's not the exact same story. Obviously at all Yeah, uh, some people were upset because they think that it only nominated because it was in the slums again For no, it's very different than slumdog millionaire. So I don't think very I don't think that's that's the vibe you get from this film Not at all But here's the reason I think this is actually a brilliant choice I'm glad to hear you say that for the oscars. Yeah, because I'm with one because here's the main reason actually um The oscars are not above political and reasons to um Voting picking something specifically for a to help their views Wait a minute. Are you saying The academy might make choices not based on artistic merit, but based on the fact that there's an agenda they want pushed Yes, you're 100 And once again not we you know, we love gully boy and we're rooting for it hard and we think it's an amazing film Yes, but here's why it should be the uh a selection The oscars have struggled with viewership For years now To pick a film that has the two biggest stars Well, two arguably stars in india, correct to be at the oscars, correct You would get those views Just by picking it. Yes to the nomination and academy Members and people at the academy and the pre guy whoever's producing the oscars now It used to be gobert kates who's who's not here anymore If you guys don't have run beer and alia at the oscars, you're morons.  That's going to be amazing He's going to be talked about on a red carpet and that will immediately Catapult also american consciousness hollywood should want and this is one of the selfish reasons Why I want it to be the nomination. I want people to see alia.  Yes I selfishly really want them to be seen. This is a golden opportunity For the people that we have seen and have come to love I think it was a conscious decision shoved into the consciousness of america by india. Yes to pick their biggest Yes stars a hundred percent and be like this because they've struggled obviously not with the content Because they've obviously put out good content, right? They've struggled with getting a seat at the table exactly at the oscars Exactly So this is their shot. This is their shot at just getting a nomination And I gotta say alia is probably thrilled because I know She has aspirations to be successful in hollywood. This is an absolute beautiful open door possibility Her people Her management her publicist and everybody pushing hard. You all better be working 24-7 over the next six months and for that girl and you're in america And the uh the oscar process another huge problem is that the fact that you have to campaign A lot a lot. It's sad. It's terrible. We have a lot of problems with the oscars But that's a fact that you have to do you have to campaign for your film Is who wants it like who would you rather have campaign for you than alia and rand veer come on Come on seriously fantastic choice. It's one a brilliant film. We're not saying it's like like You know Legend film like you know how people think of mother india or you know, we know it's not like the or even in terms Let's just say a film. There's any given movie at any given year. It's header Yeah, that's the artistic film that's at the top of the top where you go This should win best picture if I get foreign film. Yeah, but what you have to consider is Sadly you have to take into consideration All of these other factors because we've yet to really talk about the artistic merits because I do feel While it is there are probably other films out this year that would hit the artistic level of oscar caliber worthiness This is not a selection where I look at it and go. Oh, this was just politics This has artistic to it worthy of an oscar nom 100 there's acting. There's music. There's directing. It's all amazing Even the member when we watched the behind the scenes and we realized how How detailed the production design was that the entire production design of this thing. It was intentional for What's her? What's her name? Zoya? Um, uh, the director of gully boy. I've got to have her name on the on my Zoya, I got it. Uh, that zoya It was important for her for everybody in production. That's the art department costuming lighting everybody She didn't want any hues of blue. That's awesome The entirety of that film you don't get any blue which by the way That's probably the most wonderful color on camera is blue. It's a good color But she did it for an artistic reason and the artistic Relevance as well as there's another thing about this movie, which is what resonated with us when we saw the trailer Gully boy was our first bollywood india trailer We've ever seen in our life next year and the first film we ever saw in a movie theater And I will tell you I remember our reaction both to the trailer and to the film As americans who know nothing about india and this is gonna be A lot of people's experience here who watch the academy awards They will never have heard of renvir and alia. They will not know about this film But the fact that this is such a universally relevant story connected to a genre of art The hip hop world that so many in this country can relate to This movie has the capacity to be an international sensation the likes of which Americans would gravitate toward it the way we did and recognize this isn't just some indian film This is a great film with a personal story that we can relate to this film If it wasn't american made film would have been nominated for best picture It would have just because you don't need to be political to get nominated for best picture because lala lands you got the shape of water You know, there's a bunch of films that are just fantastically made films that are political and that's a good comparison Using for example lala land in shape of water two films that were nominated for best picture And for me were the ones I wanted to win best picture Uh shape of water on an artistic level Was about as good as you can get with making film because Guillermo is an absolute master of cinema. Yes Lala land though for me it was best picture quality. I would not put it in the shape of water No, no, definitely not but it's still a best picture gully boy falls for me in that same category of a lala land This original piece of work with original music that was created for it That is 100 believable that tells you a story that everybody on the planet can relate to the way that people Could relate to the story of rocky you've got this underdog that nobody expects including himself to do anything great with And it is for us the very reason our eyes were open to everything else in india and you have the Two I'm obviously we know what we said brand beer was fine when we saw it because we didn't understand idiots But yeah, we are uh, but you have alias powerhouse performance. Yep And remember we we said this girl's a revelation Any americans who see this? Oh, yeah, are gonna go. Who's that girl? We need her in films that girl Yeah, and then when they see renvier show up on the red carpet Oh, and they're like, who's this freaking male lady gaga man? Who is this guy? Yeah, come on guys Come on. So this is when you have to think about Um, I know because a lot of people want tombad. They want they want on the hunt They want they want regional. No. Yeah, they want a new they want these um Films that are very unique and uh very original and these creative ideas But you you're thinking as an indian and you've seen other indian film You have to think as an american who most of the time are quite stupid and have never seen an indian film So you need a digest like we talk about almost all the time with any review we do Yeah, would we introduce this to an american right away right away? This this I would put this before I mean pretty much everything. Well, this or urie Yeah, but I think this has more artistic merit than urie. Yeah This this is by far anybody I introduced to indian cinema I say you should start where we did you should start with gully boy because what this will do for you as an american viewer who first of all Has a particular mindset about the runtime of a film. That's one Number two has a particular idea in mind guys I'll talk about this a lot in the future reviews But as I'm learning more about indian cinema and I'm learning more about uh satyajit ray and I'm learning more about the aesthetic of The way india approaches storytelling. Yeah, right like when we watched, um The last one with srk the the cricket film of uh, uh, right chopped india People kept saying it's this isn't a movie. It's an emotion. Yeah, I didn't know what that meant until I started reading satyajit ray's book American audiences are westernized guys and this is what I mean by that Their ability to comprehend emotion picture is going to be built on socrates and that Understanding of catharsis the creation of character and plot being the most important thing in a story We've got to see a climax a conflict a climax a resolution and character arcs in a span of 90 to 120 minutes That's the american mindset when you give them something other than that where in india Especially some regional films where you're not necessarily going to approach it from a western Socrates mindset of storytelling greek. It's going to be eastern There's going to be films that they would see that have no arc for the character because the character needs to stay As they are they're the rock for the whole so for a western mind would be I saw no growth in that character And for an eastern mind said it would be you're not supposed to you're supposed to see what's going on around them It's the difference between Western film is storytelling eastern is storytelling, but has a lot of films that are just poetry And for people here who don't know what poetry even is You're not going to get a film that would be more of the artistic kind who love film As a part of the academy to look at it's got to be something that they're once Once they're introduced to it like us I believe once a film like a gully boy Gets attention You could then start to introduce the more artistic films because they would have then begin to understand where you're coming from Does that make sense? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, they'll see they'll see ali and they'll be like, oh, what else you got? And they'll just be highway. They'll see all the stuff renvia. They'll be like, oh, they'll watch bottom of bottom But stronger musta none exactly and then they'll start to go look at the cinematography Yeah, and then they'll get deeper and look at deeper. Yeah, then they could watch a header This is why I think this is a brilliant then they can watch a dev doc for For the oscars to submit really. No, it's not the nomination yet, but I think it has a good chance I think it has to be one great chance because of all the things you just talked about also because Oscars want those views. Yes And and let's point this out. I hate saying it. We've got to say it But it's a woman who directed it. It's true So the oscars are going to pay attention to that guys The the the the federation in india I guarantee they looked at that and thought we've got a better shot at submitting something that has a woman at the helm Because women are underrepresented here and it's talked about all the time. It has a female director a strong female leader Lead yes in the film Uh, and so this has a lot of the elements that you would need We know great users that might be more original But that's not you want you need to seat at the table first Yes, uh, and then we can discuss like if every single year india starts putting Not that they don't put out films that are quality and could be nominated for the oscars We know that's they do that every single year, but we're trying to get americans to realize Yeah, you've got you've got in this film. You have a very rare Thing indeed in that you've got a film that makes sense politically for the oscars But also has enough clout artistically For the diehards who want to see something of meritorious artistic elevation That I I think everybody in india needs to be jumping up and down right now. Yeah And I would be very excited and we're going to be rooting hard for oh my like if gully boy If you want to come on the channel if you want to we will help promote this anything Everything we can do like We know where the red carpet is we can be down there In fact, we should probably find out how we can get a spot interviewing some folks because I would love to get Ranveer and alia and just do like an interview on the red carpet You know how hard in india would be to get an interview with Ranveer or alia I know but how easy it would be here easy because they're gonna go walking by and everybody's gonna be like who's that? Yeah, they might not even get the pictures. Who's that? Well, actually india said in india Let me tell you who whoever we don't know all these details.  Do what you need to do get here Do the the pitching do everything you need to do to make this happen because you guys have a very Very good shot with this film now granted. We're gonna watch the other films. Yes And another thing the academy will take into consideration when they're choosing especially those who don't watch the films They'll see how long it's been since that country's won. Has that country ever won? Okay. Well, I haven't seen the films Let's do that one because they probably deserve a win. It's been 40 years Crap like that happens. They actually don't watch the films and say that's the one I think is better But this has a great shot. Yeah, so yeah, let us know what you think about in the comment section below Now I want you to get the best film Which if you actually think this has a chance that one get nominated And then win because once it gets nominated and hopefully it will we can discuss its minds Against the other competition of actually winning but to get a seat at the table Would just be so freaking excited to see Ranveer and alia at the Oscars So and when you know when when the nominations come out, we're the ones because here in the states it happens at five in the morning Oh, yeah, we'll be watching we always watch We're always up when the nominations come and we're messaging each other and freaking out and screaming and yelling because the things We got nominated got nominated and then we talk about who's the one who got completely Yeah, what's the word they use? You know doubt. Yeah, whatever that whatever it is If they if we see gully boy on that screen We will be so excited. We will lose our freaking minds. Well, I'll let us know what you thought without a comment section below You uh, will you cry? No
