>>428 (OP)

I enjoy movies that take advantage of the emotional capacity of man. The director is supposed to also direct how you feel, which is a misunderstood concept in modern Hollywood. Take Jaws for example. This is one of the most well-crafted scenes that exists in cinema because the audience is in tune with Brody's emotions even when not focused on him. Brody is thinking about the shark, so uncertainty is carried throughout the entire scene with several false alarms that temporarily relieve the audience of constant stress and reminds them to be vigilant. The audience starts to doubt the notion that a shark will appear at all once the wife starts to reduce tension, that is until the dog goes missing. Then the music starts to play and the shark claims it's second victim with a shocking amount of ferocity. The audience, like Brody, doesn't fully process the situation until the most elegant dolly zoom I've ever seen. I could go on and on about how fantastic this scene is and how much I appreciate Spielberg for using the deaths as devices to progress the story rather than get emotionally mixed up in them or how useful emotional capacity is in conveying abstract ideas to an audience through experience rather than explaining it, but I've made my point. Literally every movie should do this regardless of whether it's for critics or casuals.

The best Wachowski film is actually Speed Racer.

No reason really. If I get something out of it I like it.

You're basically describing tension build-up and a resulting realization. Structurally it is impressive, especially for the time. I'm not a fan of Spielberg though.

A good film is a good film. A snuff film shot on 8mm film could be kino if it stirs a unique emotional response from the viewer.

>>9145

True.

I wonder if they're going to make a remaster of this movie in 4K or something like that, it would be a blast to watch.

USA cinema has been dead 70 years.

Actually this board needs a quality boost and it has been slowly experiencing for the past couple months, in spite of threads like this. If you think high pph equates to something good you really shouldn't be posting yet. Remember one year to post, two to make a thread.

>>11186

Buddy I have threads in the lower half of this catalog.

>>11133 (OP)

Probably the greatest film of time honestly.

Not saying it's perfect, but i've never seen anything better.

>>11233

Damn this board went downhill in a hurry.

>>3218

This is probably more to do with your rating systems not lining up than anything else. I consider a 5 to an okay movie. It falls on just to the left side of the middle. For me that means it's average but on but slightly under. I've seen plenty of people make my 5 point a 7 on their scales.>>3218

he'll be pretty good in about 5 years after he's seen movies besides the latest tiff sludge

He is a human. Humans are inherently flawed and there is no perfect opinion, only tumblr thinks it can be 100% correct and flawless. Any critic offers an opinion and the very nature of opinion means flaws and bias will come into play as we have separate tastes and different ways of viewing a film.

this is a youtube person?

I never watched any video of him or RLM or "doug" or any of the other people that always have threads on /tv/

Do you own it? Is there an English translation?

>Is there an English translation?

Yes!

Is there a gold standard for a cumulative history book on film?

>>11655

Please don't talk about sothoth that way. I think he is cool even if he can act like a dick sometimes.

>>11656

Sothoth is a big gay ugly faggot in his 30s who will contract a deadly std and will die alone in his shithole apartment in his shitpile country surrounded by his gay camwhore chat logs and Edd begging him on discord to laugh at the latest leftist circlejerk meme.

rickmasters is the coolest

>I honestly don't understand why Blade Runner is so popular, it removes all the most interesting parts of PKD's book. It's pretty, but so what?

I think part of the popularity is the mysterious nature of the interpretation and divisive opinions that form around it. Ridley Scott and the prominent crew and actors seem more than content to remain ambiguous in their answers to any inquiries, and even contradictive. Rather than spoon feed you the answers, you're required to pore over the film, scripts, deleted scenes, and form your own inconclusive opinion that they will never validate in any definitive manner.

>>10891

It's the atmosphere and mood for me that I love. I also think it has thematic weight, but not related to the issue of what makes us human.

Blade Runner is a very beautiful movie. I don't really understand your question. Why do you need someone to explain to you why it's good or not. If you didn't like, you didn't like it; majority rule does not matter.

I wish mainstream movies like this were still made. Even scores are lacking in comparison to some of the movies that were coming out over 20 years ago.

>>10915

It's a rare mainstream film which adopts the atmospheric and contemplative tone usually only seen in arthouse films.

It is a terrible shame that these kind of films are not made with a large budget, but I suppose that's to be expected.

First, the movie is a continuation of the hard-boiled detective genre, so it has certain stylistic choices that preclude the sort of philosophical musings you seem to expect. Have you read "The Big Sleep"? The meaning of the title is not even explained until the last few sentences of the book. The plot is somewhat covoluted, but certainly not philosophical. It is all about a detective doing his thankless job for $20 per day plus expenses. And for that money, he does his own thinking. So, don't expect the plot of Blade Runner to do the thinking for you. It is a yarn about a detective-killer who is on assignment to track down four (five) replicants. If any special musings about the meaning of life emerge from that - they'll have to happen in your own brain, on your own time and your own dime. That's the genre.

Second, don't be so quick to call the replicants psychopaths. They are neither defective humans nor an alien species. They are human creations. Humans endowed them with bodies superior to man, intellect superior to man, and emotions of a child. If they act out, whose fault is it, really? The movie is very subtle about this, but with the exception of Roy, I could make the case that every replicant really does, at one point or another, show itself to be an emotional child. If a two year old strikes you with his fists out of frustration, whose responsibility is it? Do you protect the child, or do you kill it? I mean, it did attack you for no good reason, so it must be a psychopath, right? If you deliberately made an emotional two-year-old but gave it the strength and intellect of an adult, so when it acts out, it kills instead of harmlessly wailing, whose responsibility is it? Can you even assign that responsibility? To Tyrell Corporation? That's faceless. To Tyrell alone? Sebastian? The man who made the eyes? All of them? For me, one of the points raised by the movie is that the replicants may not be responsible for who and what they are, and are therefore not responsible for their actions. The humans are. And the "human" way of taking responsibility is to murder all replicants who make it to Earth. The term "psychopath" certainly applies, but to whom?

My mother left my father in her midlife crisis. She ran away with my godfather in a fit of reinvigoration, and spent years reinventing herself and doing arts and crafts, finding her "true self", becoming actualised and present, and the best person the can be. She is now living with said godfather.

They payed me a visit last weekend. We had lunch. I told her that I am incredibly unstable and unhinged, that I am angry, neurotic, in constant physical pain, and that I am the unhappiest I have been in my life, and I have lost all hope about ever living any sort of stable life.

She then spent two hours telling me about how she spends her evenings sitting in the living room knitting, and how he just started building a lathe. They were really exicted about it, especially the lathe. That alone was an hour of conversation for them.

About a day later, I realised that they are both just waiting to die, and hoping to pass the time in the least straining way possible.

That's all I know. The site still doesn't work very well. No freeleech this year and it takes at least 30 seconds to load a page.
