Is Marcel Hanoun apart of the New Wave? He's better than all of them.

CIA was also heavily involved in creating the hippie movement, radicalizing the black rights movement in US (black power).
They're modus operandi is usually taking control of a cultural movement, fanning the flames of it. Best example from recent times was the Arab Spring.

Cinematography = Presentation with high value of aesthetics, lightning, mise en scene, every visual aspect rendered to perfection Filmography = Still ambitious, creative - but not as well executed as cinematography and with a bit less depth Movietography = The middleground between Filmography and Flicktography. Motivated by profit. Flicktography = Standard filming. No real thought process into the presentation, just a tool for the movie's story to progress. Made for the basest, profit-based reasons.

No, really what does it mean?

>capekino That's a contradiction.
You realize why capeshit is called capeshit, right?
It's because it's superheroes, they're not realistic. They can't die and they have deus ex machine to magically save the day.
That's why it's a horrible comparison to say capeshit is the modern western. Westerns dealt with real social and political issues on a base level, rural developing civilization. Take for example, The Big Country, which is an allegory for the Cold War.
But at the root, what truly separates capeshit from legitimate cinema is not writing. It's the core concept. Superheroes aren't real, they are anti-cinema. Cinema is a reflection of reality, it exposes it and enlightens us about it. That's why the Big Country was shown at the White House and capeshit never will be.
It's why this user agrees on the proliferation of talking cartoon animals dominating the box office having a systematic relationship with the dumbing down of society. archive.4plebs.org/tv/thread/80967606/#q80974789
It's why this user cares about Jacques Rivette's opinion It's why this user uses the word "kino" because he's referring to the principles of the kino-pravda to depict reality without plot
It's why this user calls capeshit capeshit despite having reverence for it. He knows it's excrement. It's why he names shit filmmakers like Seijun Suzuki in relation with the genre

Prove why capekino isn't a contradiction. Prove why capeshit isn't used as a derogatory term because of superheroes fundamentally being unrealistic. Prove why cinema isn't a realist medium. The OP likes the French New Wave so much that he made it the focus of the thread. One of their hallmarks, as professed by Andre Bazin, was documentary-esque realism and sociological relevance

I kinda want to know how much of these threads are one guy replying to himself. It was at 20 posts 3 posters before.

French new Wave were guys that were fed up with the endless amounts of shit films the big corporations were spamming France with, which were all standerdised and boring. They just started making whatever they thought was cool and did now and then a brilliant job. Godard is my fav because he made films you can enjoy as a pleb, but also on a deeper level, playing with storytelling and doing exactly what he himself wants. Spontaneous, funny, and still fresh, I rate him high.
