00:00Texas Chainsaw Massacre
00:12My first viewing of Texas Chainsaw Massacre happened on my friend's ancient, early 80s VCR.
00:20The title sounds like you're chewing on flesh, Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
00:30Texas Chainsaw Massacre was always presented to me as a test.
00:35Are you hardcore enough?
00:36And that was part of the danger and excitement.
00:39The feeling that you were watching something that you weren't meant to see.
00:42I admire this movie so much.
00:45It's got a classic, primal horror movie feel to it.
00:49Every frame has something unnerving in it.
01:01Like even a long shot of the highway, then there's a dead armadillo.
01:04In some ways, I see a book like Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy and Texas Chainsaw Massacre as fraternal twins.
01:16The slaughterhouse, the bolt gun.
01:19I think of that moment in the van where the hitchhiker shows them the photographs of the meat.
01:25Very heavily reminiscent, I think, of a Francis Bacon.
01:29And there's Leatherface vibes there for me.
01:35Texas Chainsaw expands my notion of what art even is.
01:40There's one shot in Nosferatu that totally mirrors the shot in Texas when she gets up off the swing and walks into the house.
01:47She's literally walking into a slaughterhouse.
01:49She doesn't know that, but we do.
01:51because they see that white girl goes to the music director instead of acting.
01:53The very big sketch, doesn't know that a Gemilla is a murderer.
01:56She doesn't just appear like a project.
01:57She needs you to have the tape in Doors J'Kرج Jainsaw Massacre at
02:11a Jedi.
02:12She isn't a villain.
02:14I'm not going to be a director,
02:17but I'm not going to be a director,
02:19I'm not going to be a director.
