Different story. Seventh Seal is more closer to Death Takes a Holiday in terms of existential and philosophical questions.

>>80263612
>philosophical questions
>DUDE WHAT IF DEATH WAS AN ACTUAL BEING AND YOU SIT DOWN AND PLAY CHESS LMAO

>>80263666
You're right. Death Takes a Holiday is more complex, asking questions such as why we fear death, what is love, and why do we have suicidal thoughts.

Pre-Code American cinema was very daring in its day, and that's still saying it lightly.

>>80262853

It also never fully addresses these questions forthright. It's done metaphorically via comedy of manners scenarios. Very intelligent script.

This is good.

>>80264012
It has definitely grown on me. At this point I honestly just like all DG releases about the same for different reasons. Exmilitary has the raw energy and brutality as well as the samples. The Money Store has hook after hook and is just unforgettable as an album. NO LOVE DEEP WEB is the most lyrically dense. Government Plates has a mood that I have never experienced before and it makes me feel crazy. I think the final track, Whatever I want, is one of the best of their career.

In regards to it being above Old and MBDTF:
I have never been as big on Kanye as others have. There are some major weak points on MBFTF for me. I hate the Nicki Minaj intro. It actually makes me cringe. I hate everything about Gorgeous. I think the last few tracks are pretty weak and Runaway is way too long. I hate everything Jay-Z does on anything ever, but that's just my taste. I think it's a great album and I love a few tracks, but I like everything Death Grips has done more than it.

I think the second half of Old is pretty weak. Dubstep, Smokin & Drinkin, Break It (Go), Handstand, and Way Up Here are all pretty bad tracks for me. There are even some songs on the first half that I don't enjoy like Gremlins. That keeps it from being a really fantastic album for me even though I really like Danny and some of the tracks on there (Float On, Kush Coma, Red 2 Go, Lonely, 25 Bucks, Dope Song).

>>80266033
Are you that much of camp follower to argue that realism in art is good because it is popular and praised?

It's people like you that perpetuate the declining status of film as art. Instead people will ( and have been for ages) make movies that sell to audiences. Realism and linear film structure is easy so it sells and becomes popular, some of it is good, people try to emulate that, and eventually it becomes cliche. then people move on is that hard to understand?

>>80265921
I was talking about his Screen Test series you pleb. It was his most prolific and influential work reinventing the conception portrait film for a new generation of filmmakers and pioneering what would later be known as the video art instillation.
While other filmmakers such Jonas Mekas, Stan Brakhage, and Gregory Makopoulos created their versions of Andy Warhol's idea, Cinematon is nothing more than a recreation of it.

Empire only get the attention it does because it's such an outlandish concept.

>>80266248
I've already stated Empire is paramount for being the longest documentatary piece up until that point. The list includes director's sole most important outstanding works. Cinematon is included due to the expressed concern of portraying real human behavior as the participants were free to do as they pleased when being documented.

>>80266248
>It was his most prolific and influential work reinventing the conception portrait film for a new generation of filmmakers and pioneering what would later be known as the video art instillation.
You mean Nam June Paik's invention embryo.

>>80266238
If you want to watch cartoons, go watch cartons. Cinema was invented to capture reality. The Lumiere Brothers, Edison, and Eadward Muybridge both aspired to do so. Cinema is one of the most important inventions of the 19th century as it helps document human behavior and hopefully we can analyze it to determine what makes us human.

>>80266458
But that's so arbitrary and, quite frankly boring. Who cares what was the most "___ of it's time"? It's a moving goal post! Why not include Logistics for longest documentary now if all you care about is what holds the record?

is one of those mega meme lords still baiting me?!

All of those people you listed did not have any understanding of what "film as an art form" would turn into. Edison and the Lumiere Brothers setup and provided the technology and infrastructure for people to make actual art out of cinema, they themselves had no conception of "film as art." What they experimented with was boring stuff like watching a train, or capturing pictures of a park, no narrative or structure, only capturing, the lowest form of directorial degeneracy.

(some) Surrealism, see 8 1/2, captures human behaviour and feelings in a completely genuine and honest way even though it is largely abstract and surreal.

did you just finish your midterms for a film 101 class or something? Also what the fuck are you on about with cartoons... Bunuel, Lynch, Fellini, what does any of this have to do with cartoons?

Fantasy. Fantasy is not cinema. And the artistic qualities of documentation are experimentation with form and camera placement (preferably with simple suggestive technique as opposed to sporadic editing or wide angle lenses)

No, I'm just going by principles of theory.

Art is about emotional response, well the strongest emotional responses are from things that appear to be really happening. That's why Buster Keaton is praised so much. All of his stunts were real and he had sly suggestive technique in portraying realistic motion. he response you get from any of his films will always be resoundingly stronger than capeshit or fantasy, ergo cartoons.

the lumiere brothers had no clue what they were doing
> so i just sit this camera thing over here, and hit the play record button lole
they did not have any idea of how the evolution of how camera angle manipulation, editing, forming narratives/stories, or controlling the things that are in frame and being shot, would evolve over time. instead they simplly recorded and let people watch. Their is little genius in their recorded work. Now the technological aspect is a different thing but im not arguing about that.

Greater minds came along after a tradition of silent film and "realism" were in there heydey, AND CREATED ART THAT IS QUOTE "about emotional response" AMONG OTHER THINGS IN SUCH A UNIQUE AND BEAUTIFUL WAY THAT IT PUT TO SHAME STUFF THAT LESSER MINDS HAD COME UP WITH.

I'm unsure if your conception of "surrealism" is completely accurate of if you've ever actually seen 8 1/2, but it seems like you are either baiting, or stuck in some sort of artistic infancy

>>80268151
My subjective emotions are more interesting than objective reality so what's wrong with movies that are subjective (not realistic)?

>>80268179
The documentary is the pure cinema. What you are seeing right here are some of the greatest works in the history of cinema: the actualites of life in the late 19th century.

>>80267902
Not all realism is boring, that would be a retarded position for me to hold, there is plenty of good realism in film.

The point is that, linear narrative, and realism in film, is often cliche and uses similar film techiniques, like editing and camera angling, along with borrowing story structure from good realism that came before. Look at films that win awards in american award ceremonies, most of it is pretty trashy.

None of this is to say that realism is inherently bad, it's just odd when there are posters saying that "Fantasy is not art" and are strangely opposed to the idea of creative direction in film

There doesn't have to be a narrative. Direct cinema has no narrative, pure cinema has no narrative.

You think The Blood of a Poet, A Movie, Very Nice Very Nice, and Flaming Creatures are realism and propaganda can't be art. I eat plebs like you for breakfast.

>>80269077
why?

>>80269308
You're confusing avant-garde with surrealism and fantasy. And no propaganda is not art because it serves appeal a governing state or notion and often serves as a method of political lecturing which cinema is not the medium for. The written word is the suitable one for such a focus.

>>80269408
Surrealism isn't avant-garde? Is Joseph Cornell not one of the forefathers of avant-garde filmmaking?

>>80269588
From Jean Epstein's own mouth, he has stated "The Blood of a Poet" not to be a surrealist work.
