No user, i don't have film classes, i want to acquire useful skills.

Yeah, in my film class the first day the teacher asked what our favorite film was, and this asian kid I saw playing yu gi oh earlier and had a cap with dragon wings on it said Food Fight is his favorite movie and the teacher is like oh what's that and he said "o-o-oh my God, heh heh heh heh heh, i-i-its the worst movie I mean oh my God, it is just so hilarious and just, wow, the animation is like puke and, heh heh heh, it's so bad" and the teacher was visibly cringing . Next class we watched Chinatown and that kid caught up with me and asked what I thought and I said it's Chinatown man, it's a classic (implying I've already seen it), and the kid goes "yeah, it was boring. And the ending is just like, uuuh, what? Heh he heh, right?' and I just signed

I didn't go to films, I went to film school.

Dubbing is the way of subhumans, like French, Germans, Spaniards and Brazillians itself.

The only time dubbing is acceptable is in animated films and series for children (no, user, it is not acceptable to watch the Simpsons in any other language than English) and in Spaghetti Westerns

>>class is visibly angry
I thought it was going to be because the portrayal of nogs in this movie.
>'Why wouldn't you make a film in English if you wan't it to sell well
This is somehow worse.

How many niggers are in your class?

You must be really retarded if you think that French, Germans, Spaniards and Brazillians are subhumans for dubbing but Italians aren't.

Wow, I'm sorry for having forgotten a country in the big list of countries that dub!

Anyway, Italians are allowed to dub Spaghetti Westerns INTO ENGLISH (plus In The Name of The Rose) and dub their own films into Italian (I think they used to record the sound only after filming). But they aren't allowed to dub foreign films into their own language, specially live-action

>film class
How much did you pay to watch movies with a group of people?

Yeah their whole industry was shooting too many films to record sound live so they dubbed their own movies. They also made the actor say stuff where the lip movement could be dubbed to both english and italian to have a larger audience.

THIS DID NOT HAPPEN

I didn't go to film class I went to films

No comment.

>He can't read and watch at the same time
This is a great way of separating retards from useful citicens.

I was luckier than some, we saw Goodfellas in class. Our teacher was not too fan of the discreet blowjob scene in prison.

A history teacher showed us Dersu Uzala (1975/kurozawa)... A little bit too kino for a class with 16 years old class.

Why a Snyder cringefest instead of a Nolan masterpiece? Something does not add up with this thread.

RRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Dersu Uzala is receiving a proper restoration this year by Mosfilm, none of that upscaled Italian "blu-ray" shit.

>we end up watching batman vs superman

Why lie?

Chocolate is worse than Braveheart, but Braveheart is also overrated

Ofc. Braveheart is pleb tier, Chocolate is absolute garbage tier. It was like watching a nightmare.

>'I can't read and watch at the same time'

is this the power of ESL?

to devide and conker Sup Forums

>Next class we watched Chinatown and that kid caught up with me and asked what I thought and I said it's Chinatown man
pls kys

>Watch city of god in class
>Watch tsotsi in class
>Everyone enjoys both
Kino crime films

I only go to films.

tsotsi is garbage, boy

Mmm

We watched Matilda relentlessly and Hiroshima films

No I wasn't trying to be funny, actually I didn't even notice that I did that. I just meant yeah it's (movie title) it's a fucking classic. I didn't mean to fucking quote the movie like a faggot

>Tsotsi is garbage
End your life or prove that you have a decent taste in film and name your top 3

Post your screenplay

You are no fun, user :(.

i did film school and can confirm it is completely useless

This

>Anyone else got bad film class stories.
Yeah, and mine are true.
>I'm in film class
>we watched the Zack Snyder Dawn of the Dead
>"GET DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS"

>'I can't read and watch at the same time'
Is that a retards school?

>Is that a retards school?
Dude, literally the first line says "film class" of course it's for retards.

>>we end up watching batman vs superman
>everything went better than expected.png

Are Americans so stupid they need a tertiary education to enjoy a film?

>'I can't read and watch at the same time'
lol, are you in a autism special ed class or something

It shows.

>We end up watching Batman vs Superman
First off, it's V, not VS.
Secondly, you should be lucky to have got to dissect BVS.

anyone else like using subtitles even when it's in english? It's nice to never miss any important bits of dialogue or have to rewind something that was whispered.

I do this because I'm an aspie

hai

>I do this because I'm an aspie
>you should be lucky to have got to dissect BVS.
story checks out

Yeah I do this all the time , it really helps enjoy the story

>tfw my old maths/physics teacher was a absolut sloth who just showed us movies instead of teaching us
>most times he came in with sunglasses and coffee (I only understood years later why he did)
>he showed us 2001, High Noon, the glass bottom boat and time machine
>he had an affair with a 18 year old from our school
>the one time he caught a friend and me smoking a joint. He just sniffed and told us that we smoke shit weed
Tip top lad desu

i do this all the time. i usually watch movies in bed so i like to turn the volume really low so you can just barely hear the characters talking.

I sometimes watch movies on my commute on the train, it's near impossible to understand what's going on without subs even with ANC headphones, and now I find myself putting the subs on even when I'm at home

Based

there is no way those are the only two option you had for a film class. wtf

Troll line started here
Everyone under was trolled

Not film class but was suggesting "Guess whos back" to my sister and her boyfriend for something to watch. I mention that its german with subtitles and instantly she becomes hostile saying "we worked all day user i dont feel like reading" so i say okay maybe theyll watch it some other time but nope they turn their nose up at everything i suggest that isnt family goy or a shitty sitcom. They even rejected Cowboy Bebop
>fuckin normies

>I could always read out loud in class clearly with a good pace without sounding like a sub-human retard because of this im pretty sure

>yeah, it was boring. And the ending is just like, uuuh, what?
Accurate review

>>we watch Rear Window
>>everyone complaining about how old and bad looking it is
what the fuck? first time I watched rope I couldnt believe how good it looked and I was a pleb

What's a skippie?

sounds like your teacher was dylan moran

she is actually right in this case about the subs. watching a subbed movie with someone is a pain, unless its in a cinema. she is also right when she doesnt want to watch a subbed movie after a stressful work day.

I do but English is not my first language. I can understand cartoons and podcasts without problem but I can't understand films and music.

it's free in bongland. Easiest and comfiest time of my life.

>ended up watching a better film in terms of moral examination and filmmaking

Sounds like a good class
City of God is overrated tripe

I am fucking angry. This better be fake.

This didnt happen tho

youtube.com/watch?v=nhdEsyHwQjk

Yes. I enjoy reading the dialogue and sometimes weighing less than stellar writing elevated by a strong performance, or vice versa. If I have friends or family over I'll ask what they prefer, but by myself? Always subtitled. It adds an extra layer of appreciation to the construction of a good movie imo.

>Chocolate is absolute garbage tier
It's a pleb filter
You fucking pleb

I feel better about leaving now :^)

Poor bait.

Reposting cuz royally fucked up spoilers
>be in Film Studies class
>do Noir, Horror and Westerns
>teacher was literally a numale Jew

>one based fatanon says Altman

>conversation switches to modern directors

>discuss the movies we watch in class
>but have to do one eight page report on a movie from each genre at the end of each section of movies
>he wasn't even an actual film teacher
>he was a fucking english teacher
>had to bullshit my way through each paper talking about sexism, racism and other bullshit in each paper or else he'd literally give you a C or worse
>mfw the whole semester

If you challenge his perspectives in a paper but provide a factual constructive basis, he cant give you a bad score.

The degree is completely useless but it was worth going to film school in my case because of the networking I got done. I was able to get work right after graduating.

The best film school is getting on an actual set somehow though.

He failed one of the other students because one day they said "I don't think you believe half the shit that comes out of your mouth"

Well that doesnt sound very constructive, user

>watching Romeo + Juliet in English class
>old lady teacher goes to fast forward past Juliet's tits
>ends up pausing on them instead

He can do whatever he wants. Uni/college is not a place to discuss shit. Just duckspeak whatever commie crap the professor wants to hear and reap A's.
I had an Old Guard Socialist Ultrafeminist teacher in Social and Economic History. I used my Sup Forums shitposts but changed "da joos" for "die kapitalisten" and "reptilians" for "patriarchy"

If you are literally paying to learn and the professor seemingly has an interest in education then I think he would be interested in discussing his ideas further or maybe having them challenged in a respectable way. Especially in an art class which isn't inherently based on facts in the way a science class is.

>he would be interested in discussing his ideas further or maybe having them challenged in a respectable way
user
A lot of these people
They are not teachers
Or people you can discourse and debate
They are preachers
You are not allowed to challenge their word

>these people
uhh shitlord much?!?!?

>we watch Rear Window
>everyone complaining about how old and bad looking it is

I hate plebs

the teacher's name? Chris Stuckmann

It helps me stay focused, user.

I can tolerate most things from people but if someone can't watch a subtitled movie. that's it. It's over. I will never treat you as my equal in any respect ever again.

I'm gonna watch Ghost Stories with the dub because it seems funny as fuck

>roasties watch Frozen four (4) times back and forth

Fuck normies

Why didnt you just go to films

>we end up watching batman vs superman
Why do you lie, user?

The best part about this is that City of God is a piece of garbage that is babby's first foreign film, just like Amelie. Everyone getting upset in here is a pleb. The OP was obviously just baiting though.

>Community College film class
>old bitch teacher acted like she was loopy on painkillers every day
>makes us write down our favorite classic movies
>asks me and some others what we wrote down
>I say The Great Dictator (1940) directed by Charlie Chaplin
>she says she's never heard of it
>one kid asks if it's the Sacha Baron Cohen movie
>mfw

We also had to do our final project on a film that is an adaptation of something. I chose Throne of Blood but most people chose Fight Club, The Shining or The Dark Knight. Those presentations were so shitty

I put subtitles because there are some movies where characters whisper things or they set the music up like the old movies going at 800%.
But it really helps.
