so it's ayymd making these threads ok

What amdi mistakenly believes to be filmic structuralism is in fact something detached entirely from the philosophy associated with Levi-Strauss, attributable to P. Adam Sitney's in-retrospect myopic designation of 'structural film' to a particular kind of avant-garde film arising in post-war America that problematizes the material foundation of the film and filmic apparatus. Hence, any use of 'structuralism' to denote this type of film suggests ignorance of both philosophy and avant-garde cinema, and anyone employing such a term in this context should be ignored.

When asked about his thoughts on DW Griffith's Judith of Bethulia 1913, /lbg/ user slept replied:

"I will admit the action scenes in Judith of Bethulia are better than in the Steel Helmet [Samuel Fuller] though, no idea how he managed to stage those battles"

The acting in Griffith's Judith of Bethulia is more realistic than any of Bergman's films. Must be Bergman's theater background that held him back

hey that's me
btw you asked me which of these films i've watched recently has done anything d.w hasn't and I have to ask, has ever directed a film like hill of freedom which is constructed like someone reading pages of a book all out of order. That is to say each scene bares no relation to the next in it's sequence (chronologically but still thematically) but instead relates to the scene next to that or even the one after?
I wanna watch it if so, blissfully yours and hill of freedom have given me a boner for films that fuck with the structure and explore intimate relationships, intimately and organically

Didn't watch a movie for nearly two weeks. Damn camping and TV shows.

Intolerance
"Breaks between the differing time periods are marked by the symbolic image of a mother rocking a cradle, representing the passing of generations. The film simultaneously cross-cuts back and forth and interweaves the segments over great gaps of space and time, with over 50 transitions between the segments."

You know the lit meme "start with the greeks"?

Well start with Muybridge. What you said was already done in 1915 by Reginald Barker.

Like Scorsese said, "Anything you think you're doing that's new was already done in 1913."

I already told you, Godard is dependent on an existing canon of filmic narrative devices and Altman was a boring professional whose films I've dropped. It hasn't three months either.
Your long term memory isn't very good, is it? That must be why you repeat yourself word for word every thread. Lucky for you I'll always be here to remind you that you have yet to explain how Mekas is better than Brakhage!
