I downloaded the thing and shamefur dispray, i can't see the A24 logo and the shot i recall the most wasn't near as interesting as i remembered it, first vid here from 0:19 to end: I recall the zoom out transition from backg to foreg was way faster and covered more distance, i also don't recall the focus pull being that slow, i don't know why i remembered it was already in focus when the zoom finished. I guess all this was because i saw it on the big screen and was quite close it, hence feeling a bit more drastic and my eye movement forgiving some speed details. I apologize.

Also second vid for those who might be remotely interested in this topic: This is what i mean when the movie goes to cartoonish lengths to explain a message or intent, here being the ruthless nature of producers which was shown a minute with 30 seconds before by the same character being overly rude and cold when discussing a business decision, so the director chose to do this to explain further that the guy was quite rude.

Third vid is to support an opinion using fourth vid as genre reference (which is itself another concept failure story): If this shit was worked as a comedy, an absurdist one that doesn't take itself seriously at any point other than plot coherency (and only remotely), it would've worked a bit more interestingly, for example in this third vid w

Official concept trailer for the anime adaptation of Homer's "The Odyssey"

>I tried AI for character animation, especially dialogue. Generated separately as green screens. The raft is CGI, as well as Poseidon and few other things. Most backgrounds generated with Midjourney, painted out the inconsistencies and layered with 2D/real vfx where needed.

>>3636
This is remarkable for an amateur work, Anon.
What a time to be alive!

AI is fine, only idiots get uppity over it, but it's a new medium and shouldn't be involved in film or painting because it is distinct. You don't submit photos as paintings. 
>>3362
Fat bitch. Makes me almost wanna support ai even more.
Almost.

>>3640
Why shouldn’t it be involved in film? Your argument about painting and photography is barely applicable. Many artists take photos of their subjects and then copy the photos to their painting. AI is simply another tool that can be used or not used depending on how the filmmaker is making their movie. Anyone who believes in continually defining what movies actually are won’t outright dismiss a tool that’s in its infancy. And no, jackasses making AI slop and calling it a movie (like some of what’s been posted in this thread) is not at all what I am justifying or defending.

Project Grizzly (Peter Lynch, 1996) - Occupying the space between The Shimmering Beast, Grizzly Man and Robocop this NFB documentary profiles a Canuck backyard inventor developing a protective suit capable of withstanding a grizzly attack. He's motivated by a compelling story of a grizzly encounter in a forest meadow. He was knocked on his back by the animal, stared down, but left alone. He cannot understand why he was spared. He asked for insight from "medicine men and dream analysts"—making you wonder if his mythic story only happened in his imagination.
A news crew caught up with the inventor years after this documentary achieved cult status. He was bitter and disgruntled, forced to sell off his research space and exoskeletons due to the financial hardship of solving problems that no one cared about. And while he dedicated so much of his life to creating a protective shell around his body, testing his prototypes in a decidedly masochistic way, it's crazy that his life ended in a fiery highway collision with a gasoline truck.

film released between 2017 and 2019. stars an old man with a bolt action rifle and lots of scenes are notable because the audience sees through the scope of his rifle. he's a drifter or something i believe fighting/monkey wrenching with ecologically rooted motivations, definitely screened at film festivals. color scheme is somewhat de-saturated and I think it takes place in a desert

I finished Napoleon and it's undoubtedly a monumental film, much better than J'accuse, but I was surprised that the essence of Napoleon's life - his conquest of Europe - is not even included. After 5 and a half hours, Napoleon finally takes his first step into Italy.

The End.

The impressionistic triptych is beautiful regardless. I suppose Waterloo is a better film for coverage of the Napoleonic Wars. I've also got the Sacha Guitry's Napoleon from 1956 but I've never seen anyone recommend that one.

A review of a Paris screening. Is it common to have heavy security simply to enter a theatre or is that just part and parcel of living in a modern European city?

>Is it common to have heavy security simply to enter a theatre or is that just part and parcel of living in a modern European city?
Not a Euro-fag but I travel a lot. Heavy security is pretty common in most public places in large cities in both the US and Europe. Just another side affect of bringing a bunch of 3rd world niggers into a once nice society.

Most TV was completely disposable until recently - try watching a random episode of something produced in the sixties. Unbearable.
Even so, the emergence of television pulled audience away from theaters. The film industry responded by enhancing the moviegoing experience with new innovations like Cinerama, 3D and most importantly Cinemascope.
I could list some favorite TV content (and there are plenty of noteworthy miniseries and TV movies) but I was trying to think of people who developed a signature style working exclusively with television. There's Adam Curtis, Frederick Wiseman, but who else? These guys didn't just make downmarket versions of proper films, they took the TV format in a fresh direction. I suppose Ken Burns fits too, but he's a step below the other two.

>try watching a random episode of something produced in the sixties. Unbearable.
I don't think all tv shows from that time period were necessarily like that. We still got some unique or influential stuff like the Prisoner and the original Star Trek. There was also this whole subgenre of sci-fi/mystery anthologies like Twilight Zone and the Outer Limits or Into the Unknown in the UK.

I am fucking slow, was gonna make this thread 2 years ago

>The Prisoner
Vast majority of the hype back in the day and references are from the famous series Secret Agent Man, aka Danger Man, which starred the same protag doing what the title would suggest, despite using a lot of James Bond material as a reference the irony is that the 007 film series ripped tons of ideas from SAM.

Now, as far as i remember the trivia story is one day the actor didn't want to renew because his demands were not met and was seemingly unceremoniously laid off/forced to resign, so later some previous writers and he did a seemingly unrelated series called The Prisoner based on previous ideas and which ended up starring the man as a former secret agent, having the same code number which replaced his name, reflecting about the very similar experiences and being played around by the organization either previous employer or the enemy's, or were they the same? in a Fantasy Island setting turned crazy which interestingly enough is supposedly very similar to a place he raided in the series

As you might expect this was a fucking phenomenon and a quite explicit showdown against his former character/series, doesn't help it was released at the h

Completely disagree but it is true that back in the day series were chuck filled with filler, which breaks a lot of narrative continuity. Although we can argue that's the entire reason for TV shows.
But like anon said we got the original Twilight Zone which is mostly very good.

One idea i had was separating the main plot from the filler in some series, The X-Files is famous for the fanbase doing that, with the so-called Mythology being 62 episodes compared to the 200 something the entire thing has.
For example The Fugitive is usually spouted as one of the most memorable series from back in the day but it's 120 episodes and all of them i saw on syndicated TV were filler, so that doesn't spell good news. 

My plan was to separate the main arc episodes from the "side quests" in series i was planning to see but ended up just watching other stuff not quite related to normal TV anime so i didn't do it, just watched a season of Renegade which was nostalgic as hell but certainly not very good and didn't really advance the plot from the pilot; a very decent time capsule of the 90's i admit, that's the only honor i would give it. 
Another idea i had was selecting what i would thi

One of the primary inspirations for Raiders of the Lost Ark was Otto Rahn, a folklorist author turned SS officer who believed he could find the Holy Grail

Agreed, it's very wholesome and soulful, poggers!

Literature should be mandatory for film buffs.

Otto Rhan was fascinated with 'Holy Grail' lore (it's just a cup a carpenter would use!  Probably ceramic and broken by now!).  He wrote about and spent all his money searching for it.  In the 1930's Himmler gave him a paid job to look for it - he accepted, but suicided years later after failing to find it and the SS were closing in on his secrets:  he was a poofter Jew... in the SS!

I would really recommend 'Two Headed Spy', a film about Major Scotland, a British spy planted in the German army after WWI, who rose to become Lieutenant General of Logistics under Hitler.  Despite what's in the movie, he had a radio, not a contact, according to the book, and made sure the Germans:

- didn't have invasion barges after Dunkirk;
- didn't have winter furs for the Russia campaign;
- didn't have enough fuel for the Battle of the Bulge, and;
- told the allies where the German supply dumps were after the Normandy landings, so they bombed them.  Without supplies the Germans couldn't hold the line.
That well placed spy achieved so much.

It used to be available here:

It seems you have problems with moralization? At least partially. 

I think part of this is, the "will of power" of artists to change reality according to their beliefs and values. Even popular film reviewers seem to want to make films "more moral". As in; "I want to create a society that is more beneficial to what I perceive my best interests to be."
See:

Another rather similar thought is; what I think is, the honest belief amongst people that others thinking for themselves is dangerous to them or what they value in some way, and must be destroyed.

>films "more moral". As in; "I want to create a society that is more beneficial to what I perceive my best interests to be."
Ironically that's the artist's personal reflection on his work, many like to put their values into their work, others prefer to showcase things as is ("realism") but problem is how to do such things. 
It's the case of doctrines around the "show don't tell" and "character/context consistency" a director and the writer have to do, in modern mainstream films for cattle these aspects are done poorly with many "lessons" being done telling but not showing but when they do show it the context the film was building itself around bends or stop existing to cater to said consequential actions that don't seem like consequences but inventions made out of thin air and annexed.

Capeshit, to use a popular example, is chuck filled with this kind of antics but the nigger cattle ignores it for the sake of the romanticized ending, an example would be Spiderman 2, considered a classic in the genre but with a frankly horrible ending not even kids with consciousness could eat back in the day. The other popular examples of this do the other way, they "subvert" or create an anti-thesis of said effect but end up being as horrible because they do not build anything to create the necessary context to show it, they merely do the same but in the ending they

Going at this three years later since I can feel what OP was going for.
>>1710 (OP) 
You are facing a huge problem. Movies are a cultural medium and very often used in a controlling way to wedge an overall message. They easily tend to be preachy. It has only gotten worse while there was much less of that when the world was more free and the cinema still ventured in odd directions.
Watching movies of characters and their slice of life, doing their thing throughout the movie and sticking to what they are, good or wrong, without even looking like the screenwriter and director cared at all about how people would react to their movies, that's the way to go. So you have to look at independent movies from non-American markets. American movies LOVE having a moral message, they're always lecturing the audience like little kids. The crime and noir genres are obviously going to allow characters be on the rim of a society and just live their lives without caring much about judgemental opinions of the rest of society and thus in a meta way, of how the movie would be perceived by the real world people.  It also has two other advantages, that of being exotic because most people don't live in the crime world, and being realistic too because it involves real people, not monsters or ethereal phenomena or even futuristic themes. Horror movies could also be like that sometimes because they often focused on stupid exc
