Speaking for Hollywood... maybe

It was the peak before the concept of Blockbusters and Action-Packed Heat kicked in (80's Hollywood lack big dogs regarding cinema "like it used to be")

But the 60's and 50's were also very good

Overall i think, my opinion at least, 70's was the best for US

It varies in other countries, the "golden ages" or so to speak:

South Korea is the 00's

Italy and France have the 60's

Mexico has the late 40's/ early 50's

Japan late 50's / early 60's

Argentina dare i say the 00's too

Thing is some of those went on to have more good years later on (or had them earlier) some others have their first taste of a good industry

Overall film peaked in the 50s and 60s but for me Hollywood peaked in the silent era because the films than were having the most fun with themselves and was the real start and birth of cinema, trying new things and seeing what stuck to the wall. Wakaliwood is in the same stage of theory development and you can draw analogies to their production and movies to what the silent era produced. Also for the 90s I think Britain takes that cake.

USA - 10s

Scandinavia - 10s-20s, until burgers invaded, so up to '24 or so

Poland - 80s

Czech(oSlovakia) - 60s

France - 20s-30s

Russia - they "produce" shit and good films all the time, even now, they have their "golden" age since first film was shot there

Italy - 60s

Germany - 70s

Lithuania - 90s

Portugal/Brazil - 60s, just watched O Padre e a Moça today at 2 am, if anyone has the poem, please post it.

South Korea - 00s, 10s are worse version of it, but better hollywood

The top middle image contains these three jazz LPs. Perhaps the film was released in the early 1960s

kenny burrell - a night at the vanguard (1959)

sonny rollins - what's new (1962)

max roach - it's time (1962)

It could be a japanese film, as the kenny burrell LP appears to be the GLOBE issue from japan

-Terrence Malick is the best filmmaker so far IMO. His recent work is really in it's own territory. Knight of Cups is something special.

-David Fincher is just the best example of a technically air tight film constructor. Never seen something from him that wasn't extremely well constructed. Very clinical.

Sometimes the scripts he chooses seem beneath him though.

-George Lucas appeals to me personally, as I identify with him and the themes of his six films (Growing up and letting go vs. failure to do so. His first three films deal with characters being able to move on, and his last three deal with someone who can't, and who is consumed by his fear instead of overcoming it.)

He is a technically poor/uneven filmmaker, but he is like Grant Morrison for me, where his concepts excite me so much that the execution is of secondary concern. If that makes any sense.

And yes, I am aware that these men are "entry level", not euro, etc.

But unlike other boards, I would expect this place to nonetheless respect that the people i've listed have made great films (before you shout about Lucas, watch THX 1138), no matter how popular they are.

I'm really interested in learning about it but don't know where to start. Are there any good resources for understanding film workflow? All the aesthetic related things like negative stocks, film stocks, color grading, lookup tables, and how they all fit together. How "warm"/"cool"/"washed out" palettes are made and all that.

Pic related, some red that I like.

For everything always go with your gut or what you feel and cement experiments before learning conventionally or the rules. I recommend drawing or photography for angle perspective and ideas before film, every scene/frame is it's own work of art.

I love films set in those forgotten places of the United States, wacky towns with wacky people in the middle of the country, stillness, comfyness. It just seems like a parallel dimension where nothing happens and at the same time everything can happen. I've never been in the US but my mind often gets lost in those landscapes from film, remembering memorable fictional people. I love westerns too but let's keep them out the discussion and discuss contemporary (post WW2 till now) settings. What are your favorite films with a distinct American setting? what are your favorite stills, places, characters from those works? Do you have real-life anecdotes of those places? if you live in metropolitan areas, how do you feel about rural America?

Yeah it's a nice one for this thread. I was thinking of LPS lately for some reason. Larry McMurtry is a very good writer of stories about small western towns. Hud is another noteworthy film based on one of his novels. I think it's supposed to take place in the present (or when it was written). However it's more in the vein of a traditional western since it involves cattle ranching.

Last Picture Show, Hud and Lovin' Molly are "Larry McMurtry's first three novels, all set in the north Texas town of Thalia after World War II". I'd never heard of Lovin' Molly before, but it was also adapted into a film directed by Sidney Lumet. It looks like that film is not nearly as good as the other two.

Post the most кино film you've ever seen.

Wait hear me out before you accuse me of shit posting, I want to actually hear what you think are the best films, in the sense that they encompass life through cinema. I've asked /tv/ and /television/ and both have failed me, I'm hoping this being the last bastion of taste on the internet can give me actual good films, the only good suggestions from the /tv/ thread were from a guy from here.

No Tarkovsky. Too easy. That is all.

I'm looking for movies with a certain aesthetic, see pics related. Basically an 80s photography feel with vibrant and sharp colors, lots of lights, neons, night-time, a certain dream-like quality. Wish I could express myself better but I'm bad at English, hopefully you understand what I'm looking for by looking at the images. Doesn't have to be necessarily an 80s movie (as you can see, I included some Eyes Wide Shut screencaps), just this type of aesthetic. I already seen most of Wong Kar Wai films which would be an easy suggestion. Throw at me everything that comes to your mind. Also discuss any aesthetics in film that you like/reminds you of the 80s (not only the type I requested), just for the sake of discussion

OK, fuckers. tbh some brainlet takes were over here, but whatever. Doomer and bloomer are pure memes and just stand for positive and negative outlooks for life. Most of world religions and philosophies rather focus on the nature of overcoming and understanding the negative aspects of our world and being able to have happiness in this dark place. I think portrayals of both approaches in the media are fine, and to be honest if something gets people to watch more good movies/read more then whatever I don't give a shit if they are total dumb-asses about it.

Have any of you thought about some music being powerful enough to being an equivalent to film reaching the status of a quasi/pseudo-film. Even if not as vividly articulated music always paints pictures in the mind which can then be in turn related to the aesthetics of film. Music that can be best met with a match or easily painted pictures besides concept albums and initial prog rock is music with texture and sonic landscapes like kosmischeklang, early post-rock, and some post-punk/no-wave but I'd also like to hear the genres that paint a film in your head.

The whole thing is based on the album and I find the version in the movie better than the actual album.

i'm having difficulties understanding the original post. i've slightly reformatted it to be what i think the original poster most likely meant. i removed some redundancies, added commas and pronomials. i cannot be sure whether what i think the original post meant is what the original poster meant it to mean, so i'm including it here so that the original poster can verify or clarify. despite my syntaxic efforts, the meaning of the sentence that i enbracketed eludes me.

"Have any of you thought about some music being powerful enough to being an equivalent to film, reaching the status of a quasi/pseudo-film? Even if not as vividly articulated, music always paints pictures in the mind, which can be, in turn, related to the aesthetics of film. [Music that can be best met with a match, or with easily painted pictures, besides concept albums; and initial progressive rock is music with texture, and sonic landscapes like kosmischeklang, early post-rock, and some post-punk/no-wave, but I'd also like to hear the genres that paint a film in your head.] I'm not saying the two mediums are interchangeable, nor trying to break the boundaries of art, but it'd be nice to discuss and break up the monotony of the threads on the front pages.

Why should he think that? It's quite obvious that he doesn't know what OP meant to say if he made that post. Hell, even I don't understand the sentence he enclosed in brackets.

<inb4 thread is about the relation between film and music.

That's obvious, but if you think that it's not important to have your meaning exactly understood, nor to exactly understand others' meanings, then you are either antisocial (then, why are you here, why are you wasting your precious time writing to us, reading what we wrote? Hm?), or an idiot (the goal of communication is, well, communication, if people are not exactly understanding each other, they are not communicating well).

I've been watching old "city movies" recently, by which I mean movies (preferably documentary) that focus on the daily life of a city. Some favorites so far have been Duoro Faina Fluvial, Berlin: Symphony of a Great City, and A Propos de Nice. Any recommendations of similar films would be appreciated, maybe we could even work on a city-core chart

<Genoa is one of the most underrated cities in Europe. City reveals its charm if you decide to explore it. Here's a short visual poem exposing my memories that left with me after my short stay there. Place that is free of crowds and chaos you may observe all around.

Synopsis

<Monrovia, Indiana explores a small town in rural, mid-America and illustrates how values like community service, duty, spiritual life, generosity and authenticity are formed, experienced and lived along with conflicting stereotypes. The film gives a complex and nuanced view of daily life in Monrovia and provides some understanding of a way of life whose influence and force have not always been recognized or understood in the big cities on the east and west coasts of America and in other countries.

Director’s Statement

<I thought a film about a small farming community in the Midwest would be a good addition to the series I have been doing on contemporary American life. Monrovia, Indiana appealed to me because of its size (1,400 residents), location (I have never shot a film in the rural Midwest) and the shared cultural and religious interests within the community. During the nine weeks of filming the residents of Monrovia were helpful, friendly and welcoming and gave me access to all aspects of daily life. Life in big American cities on the east and west coasts is regularly reported on and I was interested in learning more about life in small town America and sharing my view.

Look at Life - Down London River, 1959

A trip down the Thames tothe Port of London and "2000 acres of docks".

Interesting comment section about the ways London has changed -- some negative comments about immigration as you might expect, also people noticing how prominent buildings were filthy from pollution back then. The London docks no longer exist as they could not facilitate large vessels carrying shipping containers.

A few that are similar to Saw and Cube:

>Four mathematicians who do not know each other are invited by a mysterious host on the pretext of resolving a great enigma.

Exam (2009)

>Eight candidates for a highly desirable corporate job are locked together in an exam room and given a final test with just one question.

and a change of pace with Theatre of Blood (1973) which is a pretty good Vincent Price movie

>The Purge

I would label the series as "dystopian horror" which is kind of unusual. I can't think of anything else in that category. Typically dystopian movies are in the sci-fi genre with less violence.

Two regular horror movies similar to The Purge are Ils (2006) and The Strangers (2008). But, your mileage may vary because they don't have the "Extreme alternate culture timeline" aspect.

I've seen dozens of Japanese films but very few from China. It seems like Chinese films are not as widely known, especially if you don't count Hong Kong.

Anyway, which films do you like from China? Given the size of their country, why isn't their cinema more popular internationally?

The 20 year anniversary of Tiananmen Square is coming next week, so I looked for Chinese films or documentaries on the topic (even if made outside the country). I found this cool short with "Tiananmen Square" in the title. It recounts one man's perspective on the history of modern China using personal artwork, propaganda images, archival photos, patriotic songs, etc. Beautifully made. It's not exactly what I wanted but I'm glad to find it.

https://www.nfb.ca/film/sunrise_over_tiananmen_square/

<Shui-Bo Wang's feature documentary is a visual autobiography of an artist who grew up in China during the historic upheavals of the '60s, '70s and '80s. A rich collage of original artwork and family and archival photographs presents a personal perspective on the turbulent Cultural Revolution and the years that followed. For Shui-Bo Wang and others of his generation, Tiananmen Square was the central symbol of the new China -- a society to be based on equality and cooperation. This animated documentary artfully traces Shui-Bo's roots and his own life journey as he struggles to sort through ideology and arrive at truth.

I watched mondomanila and Desaparadiso and i liked very much his style. The latter really struck me hard, since here in Argentina we had a similar experiencie with a Militar dictatorship taking """political prisoners""" and basically torturing them and then killing them, but selling the image that they were "missing", which is very psychotic, even worse than plain killing and telling the famillies what happened.

I didn't know that, I only knew about Chile and Brazil. Now I see you guys had two military coups. I'm surprised the US wasn't more involved with those, but I suppose there's some limit to how much foreign meddling they can manage at one time.

It was. It was so involved that if it weren't for the fact that the us didn't want to lose the ""battle against communism"", we wouldn't have had the coups.

Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, all had dictatorships during the same time.

Dumping links to some of my favorite shorts, feel free to add yours.

> Winner of the Acadamy Award for Best Animated Short Film and Short Film Palme d'Or in 1987, this is a charming animated masterpiece about a man who devotes his life to planting trees.

> Directed by Frederick Back and edited by Norbert Pickering, this is the full English language version translated by Jean Roberts and narrated by Christopher Plummer (the orginal version is in French language narrated by Philippe Noiret).

> Jean Giono, the author of the short story upon which the movie is based, wrote the story after American editors in 1953 asked him to write a few pages about an unforgettable character. They intended him to write about a real unforgettable character, but he created the fictional Elezeard Bouffier. When the editors objected that no Bouffier had died in Banon, he donated the story to all humanity. It was soon after published by Vogue in 1954. Many people have assumed that Bouffier is a real person.
