Shit digits
Published my list of films I've seen at the cinema this year, was keeping it private because nobody cares but decided that I might as well make it public while nobody cares
I recommend Un Lac, its a visceral art film about an epilepsy guy, and the official Sup Forums meme movie of choice
actually, they are good
stop putting "lbg" in the thread you fuck
why
less people post in the thread if "lbg" is in the OP
Bravo you killed the thread
These threads are still around?
Does it matter when it's a dream sequence or reality? Much like with ourselves, dreams often gives us an ideal situation that wouldn't normally happen in real life. In Sangsoo's films they happen because the character wills it and so does the imagination of the director. It's his wish to give it to the viewers, not for the plot or the linearity.
You don't get it. You're SUPPOSED to turn your brain off!
I can't find the off-switch
That's because it was never on :)
I hate movies
I despise film
I loathe cinema
I know kino

The photoplay is superior
The sunplay transcends art and enters divinity

megaautist what do you like?
>like
oh sorry I should've assumed you don't like anything
Didn't Bruce give that 3 stars?
Didn't Bruce give all of this 5 stars
>Bruce is just now discovering 1940s technicolor
when will people learn that La La Land is the only 5 star film in existence?
No film is worth 5 stars
unless I say so
You probably didn't even watch the whole thing
well bruce does hate documentaries
sorry I don't care for propoganda
But it's okay that your nonreciprocal transsexual lover does
>crowd sequences
Oops!
...
>Eisenstein has the audience FEEL the cuts
Manipulation isn't art
How come the audience didn't feel October?
Because October marks the transition when Eisenstein tries to mature, and largely succeeds in that work.
Spectacle as anti-spectacle. Abstraction of context. October is Eisenstein finally beginning to understand Griffith
Meanwhile Gance is floundering like a fish while his career crashes and burns
But Gance went onto the late 30's while Griffith died after '31.
>he's never seen a gance flick after 1927
You should. It's a spectacular clown act.
Griffith already mastered his medium. Now all he wanted to do was enjoy the show.
500+ works and not a single bad one
How do we stop him? Is there anybody that has a more perfect oeuvre?
>How do we stop him?
WE DOWNVOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
is this chomo still tryna call shots?
DOWNVOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stroheim was in Sunset Blvd.
Why should that matter to me
Sunset Blvd is a bad movie. Another checkmark for unwarranted pompous self-gawking. At least this time it borders parody
If the message of your movie equates to "I love life!" you have failed. That is why Sunrise and L'Atalante are failures
Griffith was a master of tragedy.
>tragedy
But you said you hate Dreyer
Dreyer uses tragedy as an artificial mask to appease middlebrow sensibilities. Griffith utilizes tragedy intelligently to illuminate existence, philosophy, and underline irony.
you missed the point
get a job
>bellyaching is supposed to conjure artificial feeling of spirituality
It's hard to miss it, the point is that it's misguided and shallow
someone please hire me
Griffith on the other hand, imparts with you that your answers must be answered yourself. He cannot project onto you. What he acknowledges is fact, truth, and precedent. His understanding of the formal capacities of the medium to manipulate represented reality into falsehood allows him to create a fissure, spiritual reality (divine intervention). These are the wavelengths Dreyer never processed.
Why did you give Intolerance 5 stars but everything else by Griffith 1 star
Then proceeded to give his flops 4 stars
I didn't even watch intolerance, I just read the Wikipedia article and it sounded big and important
Griffith was a communist
prove me wrong
Welles was a communist
prove me wrong
I love William Randolph Hearst!
Griffith was a social justice warrior
...
It's okay. I didn't either. I just regurgitate the same criticisms everybody else makes so I can make whichever lowbrow director I like sound better. My favorites at the moment are Tarkovsky and Weerasethakul :)
Griffith made Intolerance just because everybody hates him after The Birth of a Nation
gaaaaaaay stupit fugof
Gee, now I don't feel alone. I didn't watch it either, but I gave it 5 stars because everybody else says it's influential and experimental. :)
>Everybody
The only people that hated the Birth before the 60's were fringe groups, lechers, and freaks.
I didn't even watch the rest of Griffith's works, because lol who gives a fuck. I'll watch all of Edward Yang's stuff though, he's the best :)
