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. They at least got something.

I don't know anon, I find all emotions and impressions life-affirming, given they are not conveyed prosaicly. The only films that kill life in me are those that I'm indifferent to or mediocre, boring, vulgar, ugly and so on.

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. I'm not saying the two mediums are interchangeable or 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.

The thread this one replaced was a 9-reply thread on Inherent Vice.

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.

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

I really like that one. I'm surprised at the low imdb rating though (5.9/10!). I guess it rates poorly because of the way it unrealistically maligns cities like New York.

I submit Genoa - More Than This as of the best short city movies. Tell me if you agree.

The director says

<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.

File: 2706f5710efb5a6⋯.jpg (76.51 KB,970x647,970:647,monrovia-indiana.jpg)

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

>A Shakespearean actor takes poetic revenge on the critics who denied him recognition.

>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.

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.

Yeah Andre has some annoying traits, particularly his hippie-dippie quest for "meaning" and the significance he puts on those events. I think these stories reveal a lack of personal grounding. The neurotic self-reflection, perpetual jetsetting, and fashionable namedropping all indicate the amount of leisure time afforded by his upper class status. A poorer man like Wally (necessarily) has a completely different philosophy toward life.

Nonetheless, all of Andre's characteristics make him an interesting person. He has no shortage of brilliant insights along the way.

I wonder what the point of it was since it's half the movie and he insufferably prattles on about it and maybe there was a point inside it until that itself was the point.

Andre is too high on spirit and will drive himself to insanity and obscurity because he has no ground to stand on and will become a lost delusional stagnant e.g. the hippies who never grew up and leftist boomers entrenched in pop esoterics. Also is this just another fad of his, does he really care about the serious topics he touched on or is it just a grand drama to him.

As for Wally he's weighted in material and cares for little beyond it, constantly worrying about money has sullied his spirit and now he clings to small and trite pleasures because he's been dejected so many times and lowered his expectations to a chemical stimuli level, practically no better than the stereotypical consumerist goy who's life is fine if he gets his pleasure. Never wondering about the benevolent spirit realm that can be reach in the material world.

I wasn't sure where the story was going either, or why Wally had no real reaction to any of it (until much later). After sitting silently through 15 minutes of lunacy, his only response was something like "Gahhd, what else happened?" before going silent for another 15 minutes. That part felt like a monologue more than a conversation.

I noticed Andre can barely go 10 minutes without making some kind of Nazi reference. He mentions communism too, but only to scoff at a priest who badmouthed it. Typical attitude of his ilk, yet it annoys me every time. I'm not someone who thinks Hitler dindu nuffin, but if a person is obsessed with the big bad Nazis while giving a pass to commies (w/ a much higher body count), I can't take their views on the matter seriously.

I haven't read many of the reviews on letterboxd. I assume many of the reviews are amateurish because the userbase is mostly millennials.

A big part of Letterboxd is gaining followers. Since I don't care about followers, I prefer to use ICheckMovies for tracking my films. Status on ICM depends on how many films you've watched from major viewing lists. It's more about individual achievement than building a network.

....and I still miss the imdb forums ;_;

My favorites movies are usually those that have between 6 and 8 on IMDB.

Movies with a lower score are really bad, and those with an higher score are pretentious as fuck or are the standard hollywood oscar movie that everyone likes, which is ok but it never manages to fill my heart.

Rotten Tomato is basically leftists reviews, so I don't care about them.

Now they're overtly ranking "essential" films based on tokenism and wokeness. Shocking I know. They claim their list is sorted by Tomatometer, but the percentages are not in the proper order.

The main character "Frank Buck" was actually a real person.

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0118353/

<Frank Howard Buck (March 17, 1884 – March 25, 1950) was an American hunter, animal collector, and author, as well as a film actor, director, and producer. Beginning in the 1910s he made many expeditions into Asia for the purpose of hunting and collecting exotic animals, bringing over 100,000 live specimens back to the United States and elsewhere for zoos and circuses and earning a reputation as an adventurer. He co-authored seven books chronicling or based on his expeditions, beginning with 1930's Bring 'Em Back Alive, which became a bestseller. Between 1932 and 1943 he starred in seven adventure films based on his exploits, most of which featured staged "fights to the death" with various wild beasts.

I like this longform article regarding Gunga Din vs. Indian Jones.

https://www.newenglishreview.org/custpage.cfm?sec_id=4171

The author says Gunga Din is the best adventure movie ever made. I disagree on that point, but I'm not sure what I would choose instead. Maybe something like Die Niebelungen if that qualifies.

And he is more negative on Indiana Jones than I am, but it's fun to read anyway.

There's a plethora of short films worth a watch. One I can think off the top of my head are Cat Soup and Cencoroll. You'll find something good if you look for it, either or, you don't waste too much time anyways. Many of anime's quirks can be the most endearing condensed. And in its condensed form, you'll find somethings underground and untouched from modern trappings. Trappings that aren't necessarily bad if you like their novelty.
