You don't really think you'll win, do you?
Christopher Long
Yes!
Jaxon Turner
Daniel Hernandez
I saw your list. What makes Griffith good
Blake Cook
Better than Nosferatu
Hudson Carter
why does bruce post portraits of directors whose works he has never seen and most likely will never see
Parker Flores
You know, I saw a trailer once for this other film Ernest Borgnine was in, and in it he was telling the audience a story about how he always gets fan mail addressed to "Marty" assuming that Ernest IS Marty in real life.
If that's not a testament to great acting, I don't know what is.
Whether it's Marty or Mermaid Man, the ability to embody a character so well to actually have people convinced that you're really them is something that all actors should aspire to in their work. Not only was Ernest physically good, he was able to portray such a charming and sympathetic character with such nuance (around a quality supporting cast as well), and additional credit goes to the script by Paddy Chayefsky. The other nominees of this year bent towards offering common love stories just with a few differences, here the romance feels far more real and engaging, and without the need for Cinemascope to inflate the budget. It's films like this that show there's still worth mining in the romance genre.
I think it was too short.
4/5

>ernest borgnine
those aren't auteurs
Christopher Rogers
You're just mad that griffith never wrote a script nearly as good as the one on paddy Chayefsky's tuna fish napkin!
Alexander Sanders

I dare bruce to write an intelligent well-made review of Hearts of the World
Tyler Roberts
I'm just gonna downvote it :)
William Bailey
Why?
Isaiah Long
Because it's slow, boring, and the camera barely moved :)
Ethan Morgan
Reminder that what people mean when they say David Wark Griffeth was stagey or "play-like" is that they're not accustomed to good cinematography or having taste. He was a pioneer and master of the tableau style of cinematography He advocated depth, density, location, acute spatial alignment in the frame with subtle accentuating details and thereby constructed images worthy of being hung on a wall. Hardly something that can be claimed for much anybody else.
Blake Ward
Concept art for comparison
Juan Stewart
How'd he do that without a matte painting?
Christian Flores
Because Griffith is God. The weather, like everything else, bows to his will.
Nathan Robinson
"DW Griffith made the first great motion pictures. He brought beauty and poetry to a medium which before was an otherwise tawdry form of amusement."
Hunter Wright
>muh parlor tricks
kill yourself, subhuman
griffith is trash and will be rightfully forgotten by future generations of cinephiles
Ryder Murphy
What should I watch tonight?

If having the attention span of a 5 year old doesn't qualify you to talk seriously about art, giving yourself a name with 4 syllables certainly won't

>Coming off of her recent win for The Beguiled at Cannes, which made her the second woman (and first American) to be named Best Director at the festival, Sofia Coppola has secured her reputation as an American master in her own right.
>Beginning December 8, the TIFF retrospective Sofia Coppola: A Name of Her Own explores the visually stunning works of the famed director.
Which of these are worth seeing?

Sure.
Florida Project was p fun.

Why do people think 2001 is good?
Kayden Hall
Most critics hated it on release but it became one of the highest grossing film of 1968 for the star scene
Jonathan Gutierrez
But why do people think it's good now
Jack Miller
You got your answer already.
Charles Butler
Did Griffith ever make a match cut like in 2001?
Aaron Jones
Did Griffith ever use metaphors as clever as Kubrick did with the Monoliths?
Ethan Diaz
>Dude 1+1=evolution lmao
No, Griffith is not an imbecile.
Brody Cox
>I can't think of anything clever so I'll just put these black blocks here and let the audience make it up
No, Griffith is not an imbecile.
Carter Harris
You're just mad because 2001 is more complex than any Griffith ever made.
Gavin Cook
No. I'll give you another truth. There's not a single frame in 2001 that looks beyond mediocre.
Sebastian Martin
That looks like a play. Kubrick is cinema.
Isaac Gutierrez
Cinema is a vulgar medium. Find me 1 frame of 2001 worthy of being hung on my wall.
Lincoln Barnes
csgo has been cancelled today, gonna watch a couple of films. I hope I have something downloaded already.
