Pack your fists full of hate take a
swing at the world these kids
stick to themselves carry angst in
their words where will never be
apart of this cursed fucking town
so we stand amongst ourselves
watch it burn to the ground
burn to the fucking ground
Fuckin sick. Thanks eggman im checkin out Andrei Rublev for sure. christopher bush lets see ive scene most of those but i do still need to check out cassavetes work so ill definitely watch shadows.
“Scorsese in Boogie Nights” hahaha seriously thats pretty much the porn version of goodfellas. But i disagree with you OP on there will be blood being a Kubrick styled film. For one id like to say there arent a lot of directors nowadays who arent influenced by Kubrick so of coarse things like the first 15 minutes having no talking but you could also see it in no country with still shots of the landscape like 2001. There will be blood in my mind will always be a PTA styled movie its his and his alone.
“but the use of wide angle lenses, the artfully composed long shots”
no sure i agree with you here also. Kubrick was a photographer and that always showed in his films. The way he did long shots cant really be replicated by anyone else its just part of his style of film making same way PTA has his own style we’ve just never scene him on such a grand scale before.
when i think of abrupt endings only a couple come to mind and thats fargo and no country. to me i dont think eyes wide shut really had an abrupt ending. their conversation at the end was clearly going for a resolution by rapping up the themes and meaning to the film. Kind of a dead give away.
So i just finished watching breathless and i have to say im not that impressed with it. For one let me start off and say i do understand why its held in such high esteam. With it being a pioneer in french new wave, its use of radical editing to portray a story, the camera pretty much going anywhere, it challenging certain ideas about power etc. Kinda influenced or marked what the 60’s would be. But apart from these observations there is not much else i can pull from this film that impressed me or had any interesting ideas. What i find kind of disliking about Godard’s style(this is just an impression from watching one of his films not to say it goes for all his films) is it seems different for different sake. Certain things are challenged in the film i felt that didnt have a lasting impression on film itself. But more so than not most of the things challenged did have an impression on film. Also i dont know why i thought this film was going to be like a pulp fiction style when it said homages and critiques of genres. It is much more subtle in doing so than pulp fiction is and that was kinda a let down for me also. Just kinda want someone to enlighten me on something i am missing thanks.
“approaching the radical and revolutionary nature of the film with a modern eye.”
Well i dont think of myself as having a modern eye because the majority of the movies i watch are around the 1960’s and earlier. I just think godard is not that interesting of a filmmaker greater works have come out of Truffaut that define the french new wave better than him.
“Godard felt this was completely limiting and that it had been overdone and overused. By breaking this he completely revolutionized cinema.”
well i dont know if i agree with that because Sergei Eisenstein to me had a more pioneering impact on radical editing with his films than godard. And he was a whole 30 years before him.
“Also, you have to realize that this is Godard’s first feature length film. Some filmmakers strive to make films like this all their lives and never come close and Godard was able to do it in his first try. Also if this is the only Godard you have seen you are surely missing out. His films seem to only get better and better, or maybe they are just all equally good.”
and i agree with you completely that i need to see more of his films.
but in a sense i think Orson Welles is. Citizen Kane is the best film of all time don’t get me wrong but what makes a director good is that he can replicate his degree of film making over and over again. I just dont think he did that.
“but when you read about a film for years, and finally see it, and it’s a film basically about two people talking, you’re probably going to be a little bit disappointed. very good film, though”
“What has been lost? An innocence about film, perhaps.”
I would like you to define what you mean by an innocence about film. But i agree with the idea about how in this decade we are witnessing a change to digital as an easier way to produce movies at a cheaper cost.
My opinion on these youtube people is this; they have no idea how to push classical cinema further because they are drifting away from it into a more entertainment prone area. I think a film ceases to be a film when it is captured on DV.
James Cameron is filming his actors with 197 cameras, simultaneously, in real time what the heck?? Ive never even heard of anything like that. I think this is the film people have been waiting for to turn the corner in cinema.
