Seen zero new movies as usual

Also, if you ever felt like discussing any of those movies, consider joining my discord https://discord.gg/fBmRwNK

Discord is annoying and it turns people into habitual spammers

As for now films I haven't seen anything good

>>12281 (OP)

Do you mind sharing the title for column 2 row 2?

November was fantastic.

I didn't think much of November, aside from the scythe meme helicopters only the elements about the regional mythology were watchable, and those were already done miles better in Konwicki's Lawa.

>>10345

Superior, already established /film/ discord with quality discussion coming through.

Dragonslayer is dreadful, it is seriously a terrible fucking movie. Absolutely not worth checking out.

>>12036

Requesting what film this is? Looks incredible.

Don't suppose this could count?

>>12038

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).

>>11598

>>11600

lovely

In the meantime, check out my new Music Video on YouTube.

What do you have planned for your movie?

>>11875

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

Seems i missed the date by a lot, it's a 2013/4 book. If we are not in a hurry about seeing a nervous man about to be chopped, i think i can post that in 4 days

>>11889

Cool, thanks for checking on it

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.

>>7458

i never thought about it that way but your first sentence caused a complete reevaluation and you're right

i'm op by the way, i made this thread when i was on dxm lol. don't remember how i got to thinking about this

>>7458

I can't tell if your a pretentious faggot talking out of your ass or competly right.

>>7458

You contradicted yourself. You said it isn't imitating life but instead creating its own poetic world. Then you said the film is simply an observation of life, therefore it would be imitating life, not creating it.

>>11672

He is a pretentious faggot, but he makes some good points.

>>11873 (OP)

I have an example for you OP. Tell me what you think. Here is Apichatpong Weerasethakul talking about how he dislikes being asked about the meaning of his films...

Starts around 48s:

>Because I don't know, sometimes I don't know what I want to say. I mean, "What is your breathing for?" It's too big [of] a question.

>>11894

where can I watch the whole thing?

>>11907

It is exclusive to Filmstruck

https://www.filmstruck.com/us/watch/bundle/1520001221

From now on I am calling him JOE...much easier to spell

https://thefilmstage.com/features/connor-jessup-on-his-portrait-of-apichatpong-weerasethakul-and-the-profound-impact-of-his-films/

>>11894

that tune from Mekong Hotel though

i would love to see the whole doc, it's a shame they release it exclusively on that shitty site

Yeah no one has figured out how to rip videos from Filmstruck. Screen capture is the only method right now. I think they have a lot of interesting exclusive videos on there. I would subscribe if I had more time to watch. I'm too busy right now.

>>11915

lol. Thanks for sharing this. This is basically how I ended up watching it after the 22 minute mark. Did you like the piece?

>>11916

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.

>>11917

It would no doubt be better seen during an installation, for me at least. I'd love to attend an exhibition of his. A gallery/theater setting would make this one for me.

>>11878

Why is this a bad thing?

>>11881

There's an old saying:

Great Minds Discuss Ideas

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.

>>11884

I don't think that quote applies here.

>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.

>blackhat

really? I usually like movies with hacking motives but i resent that movie for being so slow and boring. Was there really any deeper motives and themes in it?

>>11845

>Studio "Earth" expresses gratitude to enterprises, kolkhozes, civil, cooperative and state organizations, as well as thousands of Ukrainians and compatriots in the United States, for material and moral help in creating the film.

Guy from the Soviet/Russian thread translated the image correctly.

>>11850

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.

>>11856

Yes you are right. I looked at the credits on imdb and did not see American names or references. But apparently imdb omitted a lot of information.

>>11756

That was the worst issue by far.

Aren't there a bunch of japanese rape movies? Of course there are. I thought they had a superhero called Rapeman.
