but the movie is dumb won't even bother writing why the joker's actions make no sense, the action is bad just check out some video analysis on the car chase scene, it's awful from a technical standpoint, and it drags like 30 minutes too long.

>>81012293
His actions makes no sense because he is a Joker. He is the antithesis to the Batman, he destroys because as long as there is a force like Batman in the world he will be the shadow of that force.
Its the Jungian and Hegelian dialectics that comics dabble in and resolves it in a movie format. There is no need for capeshit ever again, nothing can be said about the medium that The Dark Knight doesn't say.

Marvel movies aren't fun. They're torpid, bland, drama-free commercials, devoid of humanity, wit, or any kind of tension. All Marvel makes are trailers for other products, now, and they consistently mistake snark for humour. Being a dick isn't being funny.
>>
>>81012520
it's not about what side of the car he was, it's that there's a "camerawork 101" thing that says that the camera must stay on one side of the 360 degrees of a thing happening. (meaning, one half of the full circle)

Like. if a character is talking to another character, one would be taken from the left, the other from the right.
If both were taken from the right, you'd be like "wtf, they were talking to each other, face to face? then why the fuck did they both look left?"

same thing applies to more complex situations like a car chase. And nolan did it wrong

I don't think the use of allegory and symbolism in the Dark Knight is particularly layered or complex, so it's something of a tragedy that you're not capable of grasping even that basic use of metaphor.

The Joker chooses his name and calling card from the wild card in a standard deck. The reason a Joker was chosen to be the wild card was because the face cards are based on a royal court, and a court jester was somebody with the license to mock the King or Queen with impunity - this is reflected in Shakespeare's plays, where the Fool is simultaneously buffoon and satirist, someone who can criticise and expose the tyrannies of the Court.

The Joker's entire ethos is based on speaking truth to power - on mocking and shaming the establishment by exposing its hypocrisies and inconsistencies by disrupting their efforts to control the game/ the nation through unscripted acts of chaos and insurrection. He is a wild card who overturns the rules of the game, and a clown who overturns the laws of the land.

>the joker's actions make no sense

it makes no sense in a context where the story has to make sense by real world standards, but it is a fucking Batman story so you're supposed to go "Oh I see they're making a point by using these iconic characters and settings in a contemporarily relevant fashion."

You're suppopsed to view it like a Grimm's Fairly tale for of story. You wouldn't say that The Story of the Little Red Riding Hood doesn't make sense simply because wolves can't actually talk?

lmao

You really think Nolan (or Wally Pfister, the cinematographer) doesn't know what the 180 rule is?
It is literally the first thing you learn in film school. And the last the you learn is that you can break those rules if it supports the narrative (for example purposefully disorienting the viewer, making the viewer feel unease)

Kubrick did it all the time.

Once you get out of film school and start getting some actual experience in you'll learn that the "rules" are actually just guidelines and breaking them isn't inherently a mistake.

You think mundane by the book camera movement is what's going to make a movie more memorable to plebs?
>>
>>81012599
A lot of the Jim Emerson stuff is purely subjective asides, though; pointless snark that detracts from the thrust of his argument, which is the apparent visual incoherence or incompetence of the Dark Knight.

"It would have been much more effective to go into this next shot"

"The Joker's appearance is so brief it's not very effective"

On what basis is he judging effect? Why would it be more effective to go into the next shot? Why is the brevity of the Joker's appearance ineffective? If anything, his appearance is shocking and alarming - which, to me, is effective. He's not established a rule or standard by which to measure effect, and as such, the critique is fairly shallow and not worthy of much evaluation.

Unfortunately, the trend continues, and Emerson's assessment is not an objective analysis of angles and framing to demonstrate the incoherence of the sequence, relying on conventional standards of film-making as the pole by which to measure deviation, but a directionless audio-commentary which meanders into baseless opinion - and I say baseless because he doesn't anchor his criticisms to any kind of argument.

Even when he does focus on cinematic convention, his argument seems particularly shallow and ill-considered. The 180 rule IS a standard...if you're not trying to disorient the audience, which, in fact, is exactly the EFFECT that Nolan is going for, considering that Harvey is inside the truck and is similarly discombobulated. The seeming visual incoherence of the scene is a thematic parallel to Harvey's internal experience of the situation - which is not something Emerson seems to have the imagination to consider. He doesn't understand that cinematic conventions aren't immutable laws, and (for some inexplicable reason) he doesn't understand why the director of Memento, Insomnia and The Prestige isn't trying to deliver a standardised action movie.
>>
>>81013135
> I assume you're an autist since you seem to have something of value in that brain,

I'm going to assume you yourself are autistic if you think that's a measure of having a "valuable" brain
>>
>>81012970
hehe sure thing buddy right on
>>
>>81012599

The problem is you have no analysis of your own of the movie, and lack the ability to critique it independently, and as such you've just aggregated some prevailing contrarian opinions and tried to weld them together into a position you've found you can't argue, because you don't understand it.
>>
>>81013211
you think shaky badly placed cameras are better than mundane by the book placed cameras?
i'd rather take a pristine "this is being done since the early 80s but it's done flawlessly" over "this guy tried some gimmick and now the scene is a total mess"
>>
>>81013368
It's not a mess unless the audiences perceive it as such. Nolan more than obviously prides himself on being unconventional in his directing and he is successful. Your critique falls flat.
>>
>>81013363
excuse me but i've been arguing about it for a while now. You on the other hand focus on me, my opinions, ,y ability to defend my opinions and the way i do so, over defending the movie, because you have no way of defending a shitty movie

>>81013283
im not gonna read that shit. Nolan didn't try to confuse us whatsoever. And "the director of the prestige and memento" (havent seen the other one) has a lot to thank to whoever edited memento because otherwise it'd be a very mediocre movie. Prestige is a shymalalan tier "twist ending" kinda movie. He's bad and his movie is a total standarised action movie. Don't pretend it's something else. Otherwise tell me ANYTHING ELSE that makes it anything more than a common action movie with guys in costumes

>>81013420

What fucking else do you think matters when it comes to a mainstream flicks made to make money.
>>
>>81013556
We have but when we do you say "I'm not reading it".

You can't defend or support your "own" opinions because you've just culled them from more intelligent people, which is why you're incapable of articulating any kind of defence of THEIR positions. All you can do is repeat the same baseless assertions over and over - you're making claims and then not backing them up. Anyway, read this guy that I just found rebutting Jim Emerson and hopefully your ideas will be slightly more developed.

(you'll have to google joseph kahn blogspot analyzing action, because the system thinks the link is spam)

Everything you need to know has already been expressed in this thread, though, so if you want to be convinced you'll have to read what people have said.

I don't know who's trolling who anymore but memes aside, his performance was brilliant because you can't find a single shred of Heath Ledger in his portrayal of The Joker.
He was The Joker, yes it sound cheesy but he really embodied him in every conceivable way. And that's what acting is about really.

You don't have to like written character and his written characteristics if you're a source material nerd, but you are objectively wrong if you think Heath Ledger made a poor performance in the film.

>>
>>81012599

those things aren't laws hewn into stone tablets brought by moses from the mountain mate. They are just suggestions for how to not confuse the audience. If the audience is not confused, there's no problem. It is that simple.

It's like if you take a few lessons in script writing and the guy tells you to not use a narrator. He isn't that that it is 100% wrong to use a narrator and that every movie that has ever used a narrator is worthless garbage, it is more that he's saying you really should avoid using a narrator because it is a common mistake people make when starting out in script writing.

Likewise, those camera 101 rules are common mistakes people make when starting out and good things to keep in mind. but sometimes, you can run into a logistical problem on set where you have to break these rules because you might have to knock a whole in a load bearing wall to get the "right" angle in a shot. If you're shooting a high paced action sequence, such problems are quite common and one of the reasons action sequences often end up not being as awesome as everyone might have wanted them to be.

Watchmen MoS and BvS are all better than Nolan true but that other marvelshit is trash. almost unwatchable.
>>
>>81014202
I'm not, I promise. It sounds like hyperbole to Nolan fans maybe but Gunn's direction is terrific, as a comic book film it's nearly perfect. Ant-Man is a self continued human story with fun action, and Strange is a more interesting 'Begins.'

Nolan's clunky and sloppy as a director, void of visual inspiration. The dialogue is always so hamfisted and obvious. These films are severely overrated. Ashamed to be capeshit yet not actually good enough to work as proper films.

Those Marvel flicks I listed, not as good as Snyder, at least know what they are.

If Heath Ledger had not died, then this performance of Joker would have still been good - but the movie would'nt have gotten nearly as much money.

Primarily people saw it under the mistaken belief that it was Heath's last movie - a title i believe belongs to 'the imaginarium of doctor parnassus'

The movie is 'good', not 'great'. The boat scene at the end is pure bullshit and everyone knows it but nobody seems to actually mention it.
>>
>>81014309
you people keep repeating nolan did it on prupose to confuse us, but i'm pretty sure that wasn't his intention. I mean, why would he try to confuse us as to where some cop car showed up from, or from which side harvey dent's truck was hit? what's the point, what does that add to the narrative? don't pretend he was trying to confuse us, he's no david lynch. It's just bad camerawork.

Just because someone uses big words to describe themes and plot of a fairly simple film doesn't mean they've overanalyzed the film. Sometimes, the concepts in a film is just filled with stuff that when you put it into semantically correctly language sounds very strange.

It's like when people give you a correct definition of geometic objects like squares and tell you that it is "A polygon with four sides were all interor angles are right and have a sum of 360 degrees"
>>
>>81014465
>"analize"

Kek

I knew you would jump on "one of the better" because you are easily bated and obviously close minded, better doesnt mean best or placed anywhere in a list, it means he's one of the better directors working today. Name 5 directors working today that make better popcorn flicks.

Exact same experience. Me and my friend had just come down off acid and decided to go see it but there were no good times at our usual theater so we had to go to a more "urban" one.

I think its one of the best horror films of all time and one of my favorite theater experiences.

>what does that add to the narrative

I never said it added anything. My point was that it doesn't take away anything from the narrative other than upset a few people who are confused as to why anyone would ever not follow the 101 rules. Again, it is like complaining about narration even when it isn't really done that badly simply because it wasn't done with supreme mastery.

>that make better popcorn flicks
now you just proved your original statement wrong, didn't you?

it's like i say "this chef is one of the best chefs working today" and then add "oh yeah? well name 10 better chefs that flip burgers at mcdonalds"

>>81014571
smart people know "short is better". Using big words is for pretentious fuckers and dumb people appearing to be smart using a bunch of shits they've read

>>81014815
you don't make any sense. If having a scene shot in a confusing way serves no prupose to the narrative then it shouldn't be confusing. You think they shoot the scenes without any planning on which kinda framing to use, if traveling or panning and stuff? it's all scripted and it all has a reason to be. Don't be dumb. Cinema is a visual media, the way things present themselves is a HUGE part of what's happening, not just what you see "oh, a car bumped into the other one".

Although I'm sure you take that as a compliment.

>K-keep typing out your opinions to me so I can disregard them w/o offering any of my own.

First, Snyder's direction is beautiful. The cinematography mythic and painterly. The action lucidly and elegantly directed. It plays as an event comic realized in live action. A joy to behold. Compared of course to Nolan's dour, empty world and inept action directing.

The characters feel like real men, with love and rage, as opposed to Nolan's asexual eunuch of a Batman.

Snyder's Batman is...Batman. Fighting a never ending war on criminals as a champion martial artist. Not throwing telegraphed haymakers and retiring after collaring 4 criminals to hobble around the mansion crying for 8 years.

The score is memorable. There's more than one good actor. Great world building. I can go on and on.

saw that coming
>>
>>81014994
imagine thinking some dude is autistic for saying TDK is shit, even when he's right and there's a thousand better movies available out there for free, and even when he didn't say he didn't enjoy watching it back then, he just said it's not THE BEST CAPESHIT EVER WILL BE

>>81015039
you're out of arguments huh? that post had a good defense of my arguments so you can't use your "boohoo you stole that idea from someone else and you're wrong nolan is best director and he did it to confuse people because he's a mastermind and the audience loves him so im right"
>>
>>81014964
The whole mention of money is irrelevant, yet you brought it up. I pointed out a simple script-writing inconsistency. Calm down.

>Avoiding any insight of your own.

I did not see that coming.
>>
>>81015154
then why can't you prove me wrong? i'm repeating it so it gets inside your head for good. Nolan had no reason to make "confusing" a scene that had no point being confusing. It's bad camerawork. Prove me wrong or stop the argument

>>81015144
shut up, go jerk off to bane or something
>>
>>81015190
Now you're just deflecting

You brought TDKR into the comparison.
>>
>>81015214
>then why can't you prove me wrong?
because you are not presenting a falsifiable arguement
>>
>>81015216
*I'm* deflecting. Riiight. You have yet to offer any original thoughts.

Yes, I guess I partially compared Snyder's films to all three of the Nolan films, rather than the two you chose, as if they're any better. You got me on a technicality rendering my entire opinion moot my autistic friend.
>>
>>81015315
>I guess I partially compared Snyder's films to all three of the Nolan films
because you can't compare TDK to BVS on its own merits
>>
>>81015250
>falsifiable argument
lol wut, don't make me repost that simpsons picture.

My argument is simple yet you can't prove it wrong. The car chase had no issue being "confusing" then why is the camerawork confusing? WHY. TELL ME WHY OR SHUT THE FUCK UP BITCH and if you say "it's not confusing" you're either lying or you don't know shit about what you're talking about
>>
>>81014951
>If having a scene shot in a confusing way serves no prupose to the narrative then it shouldn't be confusing.

Look, the point I'm making is that there is nothing to indicate that anyone actually was confused by this moment in the film. People aren't saying that this rule should be followed most of of the time,. but rather that in this particular case it is literally ireelevant how he shot it because the confusion is so slight that most people are able to resolve it before the scene is over.

>Wait, what happen just now?
>Oh I see

That confusion followed by understanding is not a mistaken result of bad film making, it is completely normal.
>>
>>81014951
>now you just proved your original statement wrong, didn't you?

Not at all, i said he was one of the better directors working today, which is true, and said he was great at popcorn flicks, which is true. Its more like saying "here is the best italian chef" than your backwards analogy.

No one thinks you're smart after your "analize" error, stop trying so hard, your stupidity is glowing.

>Using big words is for pretentious fuckers and dumb people appearing to be smart using a bunch of shits they've read

Wew lad
>>
>>81015405
>The car chase had no issue being "confusing" then why is the camerawork confusing?
You're begging the questions. I don't accept this premise.

I wasn't confused by the scene. Mouth-breathing normies weren't confused by the scene. It seems like the only person who was confused was you, because a youtube video told you that you were supposed to be.

>>81015135
No

>>81015458
just because you can manage to make sense of it when its over doesn't mean the scene is garbage, just like the fights in "iron fist" are shit because they have 49 takes, even if you get that he's fighting them with martial arts and you get at the end that he won.

>>81015471
you added the "at popcorn flicks" on a second post, because you too know he's not even close to being a top 20 director "overall". He's just one of the biggest working on hollywood right now.

>>81015540
nope. There's cars showing up from nowhere, the angles are all wrong. You might not notice since it all happens super fast. That doesn't make it any less confusing and bad. You're just used to the "shock" treatment movies abuse now, and you can't feel any of those badly executed things.

>>81015581
>i can't explain stuff in a simple way, therefore im gonna drop all those big words i've learnt from my film book, that will show i know what im talking about and make my opinion hold more weight

I saw this in theaters twice, once in 1989. Why can't Nolan take his head out his ass and make something original instead of copying better Batman movies?
>>
>>81015641
>You might not notice since it all happens super fast. That doesn't make it any less confusing and bad

maybe nobody got confused, but that doesn't make it any less confusing!

do you even hear yourself
>>
>>81015371
Right. Great showing today, anon, a lot to think about.
>>
>>81014951

The problem with being short worded is that often your meaning in not entirely clear. Like if you say that a square is a shape with four equal sides, that might work if you're talking into a child but an person with a little more understanding will usually be able to point out the fact that a rhombus isn't a square even if both have four equal sides.

If all you can say as a response to someone is "Stop using big words you fucking nerd" then you're probably just being stupid and nobody will take you seriously.

>>81015713
do YOU hear what im saying? do you know what "shock" means? go read benjamin. It means you don't feel shit, you don't process all that information, it's all happening too fast. You never bothered with it. But if you do, you'd see it is confusing. You're saying you werent confused, but you can't prove it's not confusing from a camerawork pov. Because it is

>>81015733
except i replied at his arguments too. He just writes like an autist tryhard.

>>81015750
stop you'll hurt my feelings

why do you people try so hard to avoid admitting TDK is a mediocre movie at best? chill out, you're still allowed to enjoy it

>>81015833
If the movie does not confuse the viewer, then your complaint about confusing camera work is pedantic.
>>
>>81015641

Oh the scene might not be good as a whole, but the point you were making was that it was confusing, but you can't really demonstrate that anyone actually was confused. Had people actually been confused, pointing out this detail as a seemingly trivial but ultimately key reason as to why that is, people would take you seriously, but you aren't. You're just grasping at straws.

This was probably the best scene to sit through in a theater. From completely silent to hearing someone go Oh shit. Saw it twice and I could tell both times the theater shit themselves when he talked.

Which was funny cause seeing a planet of the apes film you would expect the talking but by this point in the movie everyone figured the chimps would not talk at all, and yet we were still taken by surprise

oh yeah

mediocre movie but that scene was stellar
>>
>>81018402
Watchmen was a mediocre adaptation of a story that was made specifically for the comicbook format

Snyder makes pretty pictures, but he really doesn't understand the meaning behind them. BvS is what happens when Snyder tries to make his "own" Watchmen. 2 hours of on-the-nose symbolism, and then they team up to fight a goofy CGI troll at the end.
