If i am talking about a specific aspect of a movie, what i should call this type of talk?
A review? A talk? An opinion?

For example:
I am talking about how dialogue in a certain movie made the movie great and affected the characters and plot or something. I am exploring this subject and explaining how great is that dialogue.

You are expressing your opinion on the movie's dialogue.
You are reviewing the movie's dialogue.
You are delivering a talk on the movie's dialogue.

They all work, just with varying degrees of formality.

It is an aspect of a review. But if you are having a talk with someone about it, and it is not formulated in a formal setting, then it is simply an opinion.

I suppose you could call it an analysis? Are you trying to name a video?

An analysis, if you focus in that one particular aspect with the goal of exploring it fully, without really caring about the movie as a whole.

A review, if you talk about it in the context of the movie and how it makes the movie good or bad.

If you focus on the key points of the movie, then you're writing a summary, or even shorter: A synopsis.

If you present your thoughts in a structured and organized manner, then they you're writing an essay, but the subjective contents of this essay are also your opinion.

If you plan to share your thoughts to a live audience, then it's a presentation.

If your thoughts aren't well organised and you just haphazardly slap stuff together, then you could call them notes, contemplations, or ideas.

If you go about it really professionally, try to build a thesis and prove it, look for sources on all your claims and have multiple people read over it, you could call it a study.
