Has there ever been a fantasy film outside of the Fellowship of the Ring that one could consider cinematic?

One could argue for Ridely Scotts Legend but it doesn't have the same epic scale as FotR.

It's a rubbish film, but the dragons in it were very well done, as far as I can remember. Very smooth and believable motion(makes it worth an uncommited evening to see).

What's your impression of the crowdfunded projects you watched? Amateurish or shades of greatness?

I've only seen Blue Ruin and Indie Game: The Movie. Blue Ruin raised the bar IMO. I didn't even know it was crowdfunded until afterwards. It was on par with other enjoyable low budget thrillers.

Indie Game was not perfect but still interesting enough. I don't think it's as difficult to make a documentary, but it's cool that crowdfunding allows niche ideas or topics to be promoted.

Book got grabbed 2 days before i went, clerk said he knew the book and was mildly interested because the last time someone took it out was more than a year ago

Finally got my hand on it, Dance of Reality. A funny thing, every 2 days or so i checked on the book but it was always off, i snapped today and asked directly for it. Indeed it had been taken out on March 13th like the clerk said, the day of your post, but checking again we saw it was the date from 2015.

Seems some student grabbed it and never returned, we checked on the name and he doesn't appear in any social media nor the school. The clerk said she didn't realize it had been that much time since seeing it, so she concluded she had been "dancing" all this time. Didn't hear the rimshot, so i laughed without repercussions. She redirected me to another place i didn't thought about and got it.

I read a little, but it's quite extensive, still it helped me understand the link between the Ripstein guys and him... things are really connected between the tribes.

I didn't find the suspected reasons why he is like the way he is tho, other than the humorous ways he expresses about his father (daddy issues?) and his focus on genealogy (daddy issues) but one thing is for sure, he behaves, note by note, like our good ol' well-known stereotype of the eternal wanderer, subverting institutions and causing cultural mayhem wherever he walks. I don't want to make it political but he really does. At least he tries to explains them, brazenly at times.

Here's one example:

He found interesting how bullfighters purportedly saw the bull as the instrument/tool of their art/dance instead of the target, but symbolically destroyed it at the end anyways. So to translate this in a contemporary era, he announced he was going to front a rockabilly band in a cherished variety show, so he paid some musicians to play in the background and proceeded to fuck some piano up with a maul, ending with him mocking a crucifixion with the pieces. He called this a critique (it kinda is) back in 1960, but later on called it "the Deflowering of Mexican art", somewhat i can understand why he got kicked off several times. Rock was also frowned upon publicly soon after (this was true enough)

Then he explains the Cow incidentPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Oh so it's the book that turned into the film Dance of Reality. I haven't seen that one so I wonder how many of those events are depicted in the film? I had imagined that the public scrotum chopping would be more violent, heh.

I haven't seen Fando y Lis either, but reading your account of Jodorowsky's wild and crazy youth makes me want to go back to his early film projects. There's also video of his Panic movement performances Melodrama Sacramentral and Teatro Sin Fin from 1965

so I'm real into the tarkovsky and the 1920s experimental animation and i use meshes of the afternoon as a moving wallpaper and all that, i'm into the high art questioning reality, screen is a reflection kind of stuff you are.

but Napoleon Dynamite has the best casting of all time. they knew exactly what they wanted to do in this film, and by God they did it so impeccably. name one film with better casting, i dare you. documentaries/movies where people play themselves don't count. i don't think i need to say that but i'll throw it in there because the thought that if i saw this thread posted i might make some snarky post like that where everyone plays themselves

I watched recently after not seeing it for probably a decade and was surprised at how great it was, and still is. One could argue that there is no plot but that doesn't really matter - the characters are so interesting and unique that your engaged right from the beginning.

Personally I really appreciate the movie since it doesn't rely on the seth rogen effect (dude weed, gay jokes, dick jokes, white people suck, bbc so yummy) style of humor that has become so stale and pathetic. Napoleon Dynamite relies on old fashioned comical techniques without any kind of gimmicks. There's no vulgarity or nudity, everything is innocent, like Napoleon himself. He's such a likeable outcast. Kip and Rico are great compliments to Napoleon. Honestly, who films themselves throwing a football over and over again and then proclaims that he could throw a football literally over a mountain? The brilliant thing about Rico is that Kip is a devoted follower and believes that Rico can do these outlandish things he says he can. Pedro just made everything that much better.

There's no blatant cultmarx/liberal propaganda and that in itself might be why so many people are drawn in. Napoleon Dynamite calls out to the subconscious of the viewer without them even realizing it.

This movie could, arguably, be one of the best American comedies of all time. It's aged like a fine wine and gets better every passing year.

Napoleon Dynamite is the Tarkovsky of comedy cinema. You see, there's nothing experimental about these type of films. They're extremely contemporary, the creators know what they're doing and where they're heading.

In Napoleon Dynamite, you can find the same philosophy as what you find in Zerkalo, Stalker, Rublev, Solaris, Sacrifice, and other Tark's films. They're very down to earth, they don't try to look sophisticated yet there's a radiance of brilliance emitted by them. Whereas other films try to mimic life, these films create life. These are the personal impressions of the director's memory that are transmuted into an audiovisual format. The aesthetic of these films are so hard to articulate, yet so alive and flows like poetry.

It's not only the casting that made the actors of this film feel so natural. There is a certain director's decision that needs to be made in order to achieve this. As explained by Tarkovsky in Sculpting in Time:

>Often enough in film, the director takes upon his conscience things that go against the wishes of the actor. In theatre, by contrast, we have to be made aware in every scene of the ideas that go to build up a character — that is the only right and natural way. For in theatre, things are not done to order; theatre works through metaphor, rhythm and rhyme — through its poetry.

>Here we wanted the actress to experience those minutes just as she would have in her own life,happily unaware of the scenario; she would presumably be hoping, losing hope, and then starting to hope again . . . Within the given framework of waiting for her husband, the acttess had to live out her own mysterious fragment of life ignorant of where it might be leading.

A good film doesn't need an elaborate plot and unexpected change of scene. In fact, these factors can distract the audience and ruin the flow of the film. The lack of these distractions is the reason whyPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

(I'm going to post this on /lit/ too because it's equally applicable there)

When someone creates a great work of art, how much of it is through rational thought processes, and how much of it is simply due to instinct; emotion?

I should begin by saying that I am, or rather was, firmly of the belief that it is an unconscious (I shan't go as far as to say spiritual) force that drives successful works. However, of the people that I have discussed this with, the majority seem to believe the opposite—that it is, at least in part, a methodical process. Not to say that it is in any way clinical or formulaic, but that the artist is fully aware of what they are doing and why.

Having read more analyses of famous authors and directors I think I understand why this view is common; if it is possible to dissect a work of art from merely having read/seen it, it isn't difficult to imagine that the person who actually made the damn thing knew exactly what they were doing. However, I still cannot shake the feeling that inspection of this kind simply describes why a piece works, and not necessarily the thought process of the creator.

Are there any authors/directors/whatever who have talked about this? The closest I have come to is Tarkovsky's comments on symbolism, but even that isn't really what I'm talking about. (funnily enough I love Tarkovsky's films. If I wanted to be a big homo I'd say they speak to me)

I didn't like it enough to watch at regular speed, and looking back I still don't like it very much at fast speed. I can't sit idle for so long for so little. I'm not sure if it's intended to be watched outside of an art installation? As an installation it probably works better.

There's an old saying:

Average Minds Discuss Events

Small Minds Discuss People

If the trend in that comment is accurate, it indicates a regression from films about ideas to films about people.

>Small Minds Discuss People

I believe this means that weak or stupid people gossip often as they don't really have any ideas of their own to share with others.

I still don't see how this is bad.

Most good films deal with emotions and have characters who are complex. Also many films discussed on /film/ go against mainstream trends.

Hey are you still around? I watched Holod 33 and there is some text at the end of the film with no subtitles. What does this first image say?

Cool. I was surprised to see the United States mentioned. I wonder if there was actually specific American help on this film (I see nothing in the credits). Or perhaps the filmmakers were just happy the Cold War was over and they were out of the USSR.

That film has a unique monochrome aesthetic with a lot of memorable images. The color and lighting reminded me of Letters from a Dead Man.

So I'm watching Full Metal Jacket for the first time since High school when I was in ROTC and about the join the military. Several years later, a few of my friends have died in service and I have rewatched the film. Holy shit, I always thought this was Kubricks most "normal" film and had the least occult symbolism going on but I was very wrong. I never noticed the Vietcong flag draped in the corners like this, the red and black, the inverted pentagram and the flames flickering beneath. anyone else notice shit in this film that I haven't ? I know theres one scene where a Vietnamese billboard translates to english: To continuously serve Satan, your excellency, but I havent noticed much else.

It's anti-union, union-busting was one of the primary purposes of fascism. Pair that with Disney's much more blatant Nazi love and it's pretty obvious any concept of his "ideal society" is fascist.

>I think the author makes some logical errors.

This month Film Club features a pair of films set during the winter holidays. First up is this Chinese wartime black comedy, which won the Cannes Grand Prize of the Jury in 2000.

> This second feature by actor-turned-director Jiang Wen—set in the shadow of the Great Wall during the final months of the Japanese occupation—keeps up a pummeling tempo and bawdy, throttling energy that prompted the disapproving Beijing Film Bureau to remark, "In general, the style of the film is vulgar." Indeed, this is a Chinese period piece more inclined to burn barns than raise red lanterns. Scored to farmyard squawks and a marching band, the movie barrels from frisky Ealing horseplay to cackling Kusturica farce. ~~ Dennis Lim, The Village Voice


> With its vertiginous black-and-white cinematography, narrative leaps and starts, twisty story and large pool of characters, Devils on the Doorstep, […] is not an easy movie. But in its dry and forceful way, it delivers the same message as Jiri Menzel's Closely Watched Trains and Danis Tanovic's No Man's Land. While acknowledging that war is hell, it goes further to suggest it is ludicrous. ~~ Stephen Holden, New York Times

Fires on the Plain is another essential film about Imperial Japan and WWII. It takes place as Japan has all but lost control of the Philippines. The exhausted soldiers have no food and little hope of survival. The story follows a lone soldier as he wanders through the nightmarish, inhuman scenario.

I think Kon Ichikawa's films have a unique visual impact, as the director used his background in manga to carefully storyboard all of his shots.

I attached this scene where a group of soldiers must sneak across a marsh, road, and meadow under cover of darkness.

what are your thoughts on Robert Altman?

I've been going through his films for the past month or two, even went to NYC twice to see some of them at the retrospective at MoMA. he is certainly one of the most unique American mainstream filmmakers just in terms of style, and of his ~40 films I haven't been disappointed by a single one (although I've only seen about 16 at this point— Long Goodbye was the only one that didn't work for me as much, although I loved California Split)

my favorite right now is probably a split between McCabe & Mrs Miller and Brewster McCloud. I got to see HealtH at MoMA, which has yet to be released on home video and is certainly one of his weirdest and off-color films that deserves more attention. I also got to catch Vincent & Theo (in 35mm) recently at a local theater, and in general I've been most fascinated by his work in the 80s than any other period.

Since you mention it, the class differences do play a significant role in the story. It's been a while since I watched it, but I don't think there's many difficulties understanding the culture.

I just found the story to be a little bland in comparison to his other works. Your mileage may vary.

> Perhaps best of all is Altman’s version of Raymond Chandler’s The Long Goodbye (1973), in which private eye Marlowe (Elliott Gould) comes across as a shambling, somewhat bemused anachronism, his sense of justice and honour as out of sync as his suit and tie with the ruthless ambition and self-serving deceit that underlie the hippy trappings of early 70s, upper-crust LA.
