User Reviews for Kanopy
Kit Carson, an American hero.
I guess I’m sentimental but the nostalgia which this fine picture stirred in me was a very pleasant pastime. I’d recommend it to anyone who loves Westerns, pathfinders, mountain men and Arizona’s picturesque Monument Valley which in other pictures director John Ford used to superb effect. It is from a little known movie studio which I had never heard of, hence I didn’t expect much. But Dana Andrews is solid, Ward Bond is believable and Jon Hall as Carson does fine. His drawl is a bit affected, but that is not the main point. His decency is the main point. Also the reconciliation between Andrews and Hall towards the end helps soothe over their rather awkward beginnings. It’s heartwarming. There’s an honesty between them that is most becoming, because it is between two men of honor. Finally, the story touches on the founding of the California Republic in rather simple terms but conveys the idea of suffering and sacrifice. The Shoshone tribe and a Mexican General with megalomania keep Carson and his band on their toes. One last tip: by the sound of his voice you should recognize Clayton Moore who later became famous on TV as the Lone Ranger.
No replays allowed
I am very impressed by the variety and multitud of genres that Kanopy has. But not all things are perfect, and I have problems with rewinding, going back to the beginning of the film, or trying to go back just one frame is impossible. I watch mostly documentaries and educational videos, and if I pause one day and restart the same video later it counts it as a separate movie, so that in the end I use up my six available rentals without even finishing one single movie. Even if I am only half way on a movie I cannot go back to it after pausing, so if I want to watch a movie I have to make sure I have enough time to finish the whole thing in one sitting, otherwise I won’t be able to see the end until the next month. It is very frustrating. I have to wait to the end of the month to watch the reminder of the movie, because it tells me I used up all my rentals even tough I never finished watching the whole thing. Hopefully they can fix that. It Is ridiculous that I used up all my six rentals on just one video and it was an instructional video.
Into the Fire: American Women in the Spanish Civil War
A magnificent tribute to the American women who joined the Spanish Loyalist forces and international brigades , including the American Abraham Lincoln Brigade, to fight against fascism in Spain. These women, many of whom were nurses and medical personnel, treated the wounded and dying Loyalist soldiers and their allies who fought against Franco’s forces and their Italian and German allies. The film interviews the women today as they look back and tell the story of the war that foreshadowed World War II. A great deal of original film footage depicts the actual circumstances faced by the Spanish people and the Spanish Republic as they confronted the onslaught of fascism and the indifference of the world to their plight. This film could be titled one of the Spanish Civil War’s Untold Stories; these women, with all of the courage and idealism they demonstrate, played a heroic and critical role in this struggle.
The interface of a film archive
The arts, entertainment and communications of the 21st century are clearly electronic in their delivery and digital in their creation and preservation. So the power of much human experience will be mediated by an “interface,” that wall with both virtual and physical dimensions that functions as a window and curtain, padlock and turnstile, stairs and moat, pen and paper, letter and stamp, dream forsaken or awakened, patrimony and posterity. Many are the titans of this age with Lilliputian assumptions, even more are the disruptors with brilliant imaginations. The interfaces of Instagram and Quora, for example, are remarkably primitive and unhelpful; Craigslist and Wikipedia, like Kanopy, are logical and streamlined. So I’m happy to announce, from my bias that Kanopy is an exemplar, rationally designed interface. And that is the sign of a deeply literate, broadly empowered set of designers, creators and users. The same is true of entire societies, over a series of generations. Make it easy for us to learn, and sensible to use, and our choices, governments, lives and histories will easily make sense, too.
Poor service provider
It could be a good streaming option, especially for those interested in foreign films and documentaries. BUT, the service is problematic and the customer service nearly non-existant. The films keep getting blurry on their app and they blame the user's internet connection, except I have 6 other streaming services and none have this problem at 200mbp speed. The points expire at the end of each month and renewed again the first of the following month. But if you use a point during the month to check out a film, you only have 2 days to watch that film, not the entire month. Rip off. Sometimes, for unknown reasons, a film will clock 2 points, even though it's a 1-point film. Again, rip off. Customer service does nothing, even though this needs to be addressed on a technical level. Trying to get any help from customer service via email is useless. They do absolutely nothing and more often than not, don't even respond. I'll be informing my local library of these issues with Kanopy. The library pays a premium price per month to provide this service free to us, so nobody should be ripped off. No wonder many libraries are discontinuing the service. You can even find 85% of the films already streaming on other services, anyway. Too bad. There's a market for a foreign films streaming service in the US, but not one with so many issues and horrid lack of service.
Journey’s end
Saw it three times . Each time it gets to me a little bit more. Direction was fabulous, acting superb. A little hard to understand because I am an American, but that was to be expected had to use close captioning to truly understand it something about first world war is so unnerving and frightening that I never get tired of understanding it or exploring. This was a play, that’s obvious And I wish I had seen the play. But since I haven’t I will make do with the film. I think I loved it but to be honest I’m not sure. Very intelligent film and thank God for that because I haven’t seen a very intelligent film in years. I hope to see more like this with its human guts churning and boiling over to let me know that mankind still exist on this earth
Launching was a bit quirky
Great app but getting started was a bit quirky. I chose access through my local library. The app had difficulty verifying my valid library card. With some help from the library, I got through that then had trouble logging in and verifying account details. Once I navigated through those troubled waters, the environment on the other side is spectacular. Titles are well organized and rich with both education and entertainment. There are some limitations but flexibility is very good. Streaming through my Apple TV (and other devices too) brings the movies and lectures to the big TV. The app seems stable with no bugs that I can tell. Navigation is intuitive. Options are easy. At a cost of $00, I’m not sure I could ask for more.
The 400 Blows
This is a film that should be watched by all parents, especially the young ones. It shows us how the lack of love, and adults unsolved problems interfere in shaping the life of a child. In general, their neglect send children to desperation and delinquency. In this case the mother wanted an abortion, then married another man, and she has an affair with another. So, it is no surprise she rejected him. But, It is not just the mother’s fault, it is the system. This child grows up in a negative environment, watching the misery of the lives of his surrounding adults. Here there are many aspects involved, a young mother facing the consequences of her irresponsible sexuality. That leads her to rejection of her son. The step father is as cold as the mother. On top of that, the school system contributes to the child’s poisoning of his mind. It is sad to realize the consequences of adults’ misery in the life of a gifted child. Childhood is a time of imprinting of the mind. What is planted in early childhood will remain forever.
Amazing content - please fix the platform
I’ve had Kanopy for several years. Hands down, amazing content, however, its been really clunky with the same problems for all of these years. This: There is zero way to recover if you accidentally press the wrong button while watching a film. The only way to get back to it is to “rent” again. (lose a credit) There’s no option to finish watching it later or tomorrow. Nope. Not without using a credit. Oh and oops, if you accidentally press the wrong button, press play for a movie you don’t want to watch (even for a split second and immediately get out of it) well too bad, you lose a credit. Why not have a simple “do you want to use credit” or similar? There’s no doubt my public library is paying for a service its users are not able to fully utilize. I get 12 credits per month and am fairly tech savvy but I find this issue hugely frustrating. I can imagine it is much more frustrating for first time users, especially if they only are allowed 3 credits per month. What a bummer! I’ve read a lot of other reviews. Every single review that poses a question regarding disappearing credits receives the same response- we’re sorry you’re having this problem, please send an email directly to Kanopy to discuss further, aka …(probably) you don’t have a real solution other than manually crediting to individual accounts. C’mon Kanopy, we’re all fans here, just fix it already.
Great collection but poor software coding
Kanopy has an excellent collection of movies from around the world. It is by far the best streaming platform for intellectual “entertainment”. As a cinema lover and frequent participant in film festivals, I vouch for the amazing selection that Kanopy brings to my living room. Thanks a million!But Kanopy’s app has technical glitches. I use iPhone and have the latest iOS version and Kanopy app version. When viewing a movie, if I wish to pause it in the middle, the app doesn’t allow me to do that. After a few minutes of watching something, if I reopen the app it doesn’t show me the current status of the movie I am watching, defaults to the home screen of Kanopy showing all titles available for viewing. When I click the “cast” icon on top right, it crashes the app. The movie, meanwhile continues to play on my television. I have faced this issue for 6-7 weeks, but Kanopy has not fixed it yet. I am hoping someone in their software engineering team identifies and fixes this bug.
