This week on The Deep Dive: The classic movie with an opening scene so breathtaking you’ll forget it was filmed in the 1960s, dressing on theme for a press tour…groundbreaking, milk’s bizarre ability to captivate generations, Catfish was worse than you thought but still a lot better than it could have been, and everything you’ve ever wanted (and didn’t know you wanted) to know about One Direction.

Why The Sound of Music Still Looks Like a Billion Bucks by wolfcrow (8:05)

I watched The Sound of Music a lot as a child. I knew all the lyrics to all the songs and would regularly belt them out loud – including the ones that required me to attempt yodeling (my poor parents). Even at a young age, something about the film felt so grand, and in this video, wolfcrow explains the technical process that made it feel that way. Even though I don’t know a single thing about camera work and film technology, I appreciate that this video doesn’t try to dumb it down, explaining it in a way that forces you to understand what an undertaking it was to film one of the greatest movies of all time. If you need to watch this video a second time to understand it – don’t worry, it’s less than ten minutes long. And if you still don’t get it after the rewatch, at least it’s beautiful to look at.

investigating the method dressing phenomenon 🔎🍿👗 by ModernGurlz (23:24)

It’s hard to believe today, in a post-Barbie media landscape, that there was ever a time when method dressing in film industry press tours and red carpets was seen as a mockery of the art form. Just a few decades ago, actors were terrified of dressing according to the theme of the films they starred in so as not to type-cast themselves. But we’ve come a long way, with actors rolling up to premieres dressed as robots, retro cartoon characters, and carnival ringmasters (all of which were executed flawlessly by Zendaya, of course). In this video, ModernGurlz explains how the rise of social media inspired actors to treat film promotions like the upscale Halloween parties you’ll never be invited to but will inevitably see all over Instagram. The film industry may be in shambles, but at least the outfits are cool!
