Was he the greatest to ever do it Sup Forums...

Was he the greatest to ever do it Sup Forums? I can't believe how much this man contributed to the art of cinema in just 7 films. He's the Leonardo of kino surely.

He's pointing at us...

I can't think of a single formal thing this hippie dippie faggot did new

Literally no other director has had the same naturalism, user. His films are pretty much visual poetry, you need a very specific aesthetic disposition that only comes with certain moods and feelings.

Worst to best,

Ivan's Childhood < Solaris < Nostalghia < Andrei Rublev < Offret < Stalker < Zerkalo

Fite me faggots

hitchcock or spielberg.

You must be mistaken friend, this isn't /r/movies

>Literally no other director has had the same naturalism
>His films are pretty much visual poetry
Suicide is an imperative

>art of cinema
ummm sweetie how is a reproductive medium art

>Griffithfag who unironically thinks his films have substance that still holds up
Suicide is an imperative.

>naturalism
This is naturalism. Staring with blank expressions is not difficult to do nor is it artistic expression

Whoops!

Tarkovsky - the master of us. The greatest director that ever lived. I would uncover my head and kneel before his tomb.

>kneel before his tomb
Overdose soyboy

Certainly one of the greats. You know you've done something when even Bergman was mirin

hitchcock and spielberg are both great directors, and arguably better than tarkovsky. i'd say both of them had a bigger impact on cinema. people hate spielberg because they're too busy jizzing over some random french director they found in the criterion collection.

i hate foreign film snobs.

>certainly one of the greats
Why. What did he do new
>Bergman
Drop dead.

he was a christcuck and they can't into art

>Tarko/v/sky
No. Get an education.

>he judges artistic merit by influence
I bet you think the Beatles are better than the Velvet Underground you philistine

If you did nothing new, you are either outdated or sterile.

>tfw he literally died out of sacrificing his own physical health just to complete Stalker
>tfw he didn't live to the millennium up until the digital age
>tfw there are only 7 major Tarkovsky films and there will never be more

he is no Bresson

Which Chuckle Brother is that?

That's wrong, his spirituality is much closer to classic Russian mysticism rather than Christcuckery.

He never made a single thing of worth though

>foreign film snobs
>thinks everyone is an american

God damn, exactly how retarded are you amerifats?

>talking about the beatles
>calling other philistine

>Bresson

>russian mysticism
it’s called orthodoxy

>I can't believe how much this man contributed to the art of cinema in just 7 films

I don't know if you're OP or not, but that was written in the original post. Can't the same be said for hitchcock and spielberg?

>philistine
i shiggy diggy doooooooooooo. you really just typed out "philistine" on Sup Forums...

>mysticism
Magic is for role-playing queers

what narrative isn’t fictional?

>hitchcock and spielberg
Kek

>a procession of events
autobiographies are narratives, brainlet

oh i didn't realize that the majority of Sup Forums posters are actually russian. my mistake.

Tarkovsky: continue my legacy, my son

Malick: yes father

glad he carried the torch and went on to make contrived bullshit

oh god no son what are you doing no son plEASE STOP

No just at me :)

Andrei Rublev should replace Stalker

Sup Forums: pic-related

reddit: Lynch, Kubrick, Piavoli, Benning, Weerasethakul, Altman, Malick, Tarkovsky, Bergman, Ozu, Dreyer

you only get a grasp of reality in biographies user, you could argue that since you choose carefully what or what not to put in a limited work (book or movie) they are part of a fiction

>Dan Harper
>I applauded, for instance, his refreshing disrespect for Sergei Eisenstein – that purveyor of Socialist propaganda in the name of montage. He manages to defuse the current specious adulation of John Ford, who rivals D.W. Griffith for sheer pious stupidity.
OOPS!!!

>Ozu
>Dreyer

calm down boy...

Dragon Painter > Andrei Rublev

>I watch really old boring ass silent era movies all day long so I can stroke my ego online

>Ozu
look at camera, spout moral of story.
aesthetically steal from silent films

Patrician: Renoir, Chaplin, Keaton, Ophuls, Pastrone, Von Stroheim, Sternberg, Bresson and DeMille
Pleb: Griffith, Eisenstein

>A quote from Thomson
>still doesn't refute why Bresson is shit
Oops!!

Threadly reminder that Griffithfag has already been BTFO and yet continues to use the same pics of numale writers who run weekly blogs on Beyonce and Game of Thrones and pretends like they're serious academics

>Griffithfag can't read again
Burden of proof is on you brainlet.

>Dreyer
Painfully obvious juxtapositions regarding spirituality an forced viewer perception. Certifiably not art. Any formal qualities precede including divorce of mise-en-scene with performance in Joan of Arc.

kek, this.

you can't talk about "stealing". Everyone takes something from others. Even your silent-tier filmakers. Late Spring is god-tier, pure masterpiece.

>Painfully obvious juxtapositions regarding spirituality an forced viewer perception
Not a proper sentence. Griffithfag confirmed for illiterate again. Oops!

Watch Gertrude

>No Pastrone
>It's been said that D.W. Griffith was so overwhelmed by "Cabiria" that he decided to turn "The Mother and the Law," which he was then shooting, into one of four intercut stories in his classic 1916 "Intolerance."
You crave entertainment.

>every serious academic knows Griffith to be the absolute peak
>teenage pseuds can't into him because he's "boring" and parade their shit taste as fact
Get off this board. You can't defeat God

>Stan "Let's just put bugs on the film reel LMAO " Brakhage
>serious academic
You crave entertainment.

>Intolerance is considered good for spectacle
If that was the case, why do people find it boring

>people hate spielberg because they're too busy jizzing over some random french director
He is not even that good compared to the rest of the New Hollywood big names...

>Late Spring is god-tier, pure masterpiece
Brainlet that can't into silents

>Taking the opinion of a guy who failed as a poet so decided to become lolsorandum the director
This is worse than when you posted an excerpt from a Slate writer.

>Griffith makes a movie for spectacle
>Can't even do that right
Oops!

Already seen many silents, if you deny what I wrote you should stop watching cinema

>Gertrude
His absolute worst.
>characters literally tell you their feelings
Unplug. You're clearly too stupid to navigate the internet

Only brainlets prefer silents over talkies

wtf, now i love reddit

>makes movie for spectacle
pic-related. Oops!
>already seen many silents
A monkey can watch, a man thinks.

>characters literally tell you their feelings

It's a story about love and its difficulties. Two people who struggles about love also talk about their feelings and problems. It's a drama, thoughts can't be always be silent but must struggle sometimes.

Then go back! They're waiting for you!

>you can think only about what you watched

>He is not even that good compared to the rest of the New Hollywood big names...

oh really? well he was more successful than every other new hollywood director, but i guess that only happened because everyone who likes him is a pleb, but you don't like him, no, because you're really really smart and euphoric. if only i could look through the eyes of a Sup Forums neet for just one moment. one moment is all i ask.

>It's a story about love and its difficulties
A concept explored to the brink in the silent era.
>thoughts can't be always be silent
The image is worth a thousand words. Griffith didn't create thought, he photographed it.

>think
Something you don't do

>Love's Struggle Through the Ages
You crave entertainment.

what is he thinking?

If you used your brain, you would know.

>stalker
The video game was better. Same feeling the movie was going for, only fun.

>that instagram-tier filter
You crave entertainment.

BRUCE!!!!!!!!

...

Your argument literally amounts to "Spielberg is popular therefore he is the best". Stop and think about that. He is popular because his films appeal to the broadest audience possible. Almost as if his films aim for lowest common denominator entertainment...

Think for yourself you drone.

Remember dumdums

Vidya is the patrician artform, far superior to film.

Leave

You leave.

But shouldn't his success be considered? At least a little bit? It's the greatest piece of evidence that he is in fact a great director. You want more proof? Ok, look at all of his critical acclaim, look at all the praise he received from his contemporaries, and all the praise he received from directors after him. Or you could just read the long list of incredible films he's made. You want me to analyze his films to convince you? Is that it? Where would I even begin?

The fact that I have to defend spielberg is just mind boggling to me. People seriously think he's like james cameron or something it's crazy.

>I can't stand mirth. Cheerful people seem guilty to me, because they can't comprehend the mournful value of existence. I accept happiness only in children and the elderly, with all others I am intolerant

Was he autistic?

You're closest to the door reddit. Switch to that other tab.

no he was russian

>le reddit boogeyman
Pathetic.

>Was he autistic
Yes, and only appeals to autists. You are what you consume.

>He is popular because his films appeal to the broadest audience possible. Almost as if his films aim for lowest common denominator entertainment...
Hmmm reminds me of a certain David Griffith

>mournful value of existence
He was a hack too!

Same thing

No, pathetic is what you're too afraid to see in the mirror

>She and Bresson developed a close relationship during the shooting of the film, although it was not consummated. On location they stayed in adjoining rooms and Wiazemsky said that "at first, he would content himself by holding my arm, or stroking my cheek. But then came the disagreeable moment when he would try to kiss me ... I would push him away and he wouldn't insist, but he looked so unhappy that I always felt guilty." Later Wiazemsky lost her virginity to a member of the film's crew, which she says gave her the courage to reject Bresson as a lover. On the set of the film, she met Jean-Luc Godard, whom she married a year later.


a fucking cuck

Sad!
