so I check to see news about Cannes and shit and I come across this article from IndieWire or whatever it's called:
>This is absolutely amazing. Sofia Coppola just made history at Cannes!

well fuck me sideways, let me check this shit out.
So I click on the thing and start reading their absolutely pat-yourself-on-the-back-girls article:
>The 2017 Cannes Film Festival has come to an end in history-making fashion. When Jury President Pedro Almodóvar announced the Best Director prize to “The Beguiled” helmer Sofia Coppola, she became the second female director in the festival’s 70-year history to claim the prize.

that's cute, let's keep on reading:
>Coppola earned strong reviews for “The Beguiled,” a feminist adaptation of Clint Eastwood’s 1971 film of the same name.
>a feminist adaptation of Clint Eastwood’s 1971 film of the same name.
>Clint Eastwood’s 1971 film of the same name.
>Clint Eastwood’s 1971 film

you can't make this shit up lmao
so the Cannes winner is literally a "LOL I COPIED A MAN'S MOVIE AND WON SO STRONG SO BRAVE!"

but wait! there's MORE.
she's literally the daughter of Francis Ford fucking Coppola.
The daughter of a famous director gets to make movies because of nepotism and her best movie is literally a butchered rip-off of a man's movie.
This is what feminists are proud of in the year of our lord 1999 + 18

If this is your first time hearing of Sofia Coppola you shouldn't be here. You're either 8 or don't know fuck all about film.

She's not new.

Now, this isn't history as she is the 2nd to do something. But, while I haven't seen it and I doubt you have either, I'm going to assume it's not "butchered" as you say it is. And Logan, a movie which did nothing but steal, gets blown periodically all over this fucking site.

Now, I realize Cannes is not /tv/, so there IS merit in being annoyed about it but let's be fucking Frank Coppola about this. shitposting about a movie you haven't and will never see winning a competition you've never and will never care about for ripping off another movie you've never and will never see is pretty much the most autistic thing in the world.

It isn't a remake, it's an adaptation of a book that had previously been filmed in 1971. Or are adaptations not seen as remotely creative now?
>>
>>83294858
desu, adapting a book to make a movie is pretty pleb tier.

people should use the advantages and strenghts of the film medium. Just filming a story for the sake of it is pretty childish.
>gonna film muh touching story with a feminine tweest based on this GREAT BOOK xD

disgusting really. I respect people that try and make something interesting in the film format. People like Malick at least try to be creative in the field and use the medium for what it is, not just as a device to tell a story in visual form, but rather express something through audio/visuals, if you get what I mean.

Fine, but all of her previous films save for her debut had original screenplays.
>>
>>83295773
I can respect an original screenplay as well as when a director tries to convey something through the film medium.

Not saying she's a shit director, my rambling was just regarding the fact that while she only won for best director, the media is again trying to blow this shit up as the second coming or some shit as well as making it sound like she made a great movie when in fact it's just an adaptation (hence why I said butchered even if I didn't see the film yet), and an adaptation of a book is always going to be inferior no matter what.

Yes you can offer a new perspective on a known story, maybe even approach it differently than other people, but at the end of the day the book is superior and the movie form is only ever going to be a bastardization of it.

I would honestly immediately disqualify any film from the Cannes festival that isn't an original screenplay, but that's just my opinion and I'm sure others disagree with it.
>>
>>83295133
>>83296036

What in the fuck are you talking about you deranged lunatic? Why on earth does adapting a book mean anything for the way the film will be made? What are you even saying? You sound so stupid.

Also if you seriously think that books are always superior then you must know very little about film.
>>
>alt right pussies cry about literally anything
The fact that she made a film Eastwood had already made is genuinely brave.
>>
>>83296421
you should go to bed since it's probably getting close to your bedtime, retard.
You don't understand what I'm talking about because you don't understand film and don't understand what it means to create something that plays to a medium's strenghts.

>>
>>83296815
I'm going to try and explain it again to you since you're a bit slow.

an ADAPTATION of a book (what you see when someone turns a book into a screenplay) is never going to be better than the book itself. Why? Because in a movie you can only do so much and can only tackle certain aspects at the expense of limiting other ideas, characters or events in the book due to length.

In a book you can develop everything you want without as many constraints as in a movie (I'm sure you'll manage to misunderstand this too but whatever), and you can focus on many aspects due to the very nature of the medium.
you can develop all of the characters, describe all the events, create and resolve all conflicts.
whereas in a film adaptation you will have to choose what exactly you're going to tackle from the book.

Are you going to focus on a certain relationship between certain characters? Are you going to focus on showing and resolving one or two conflicts (if the book had more than one main conflict), and so on.

You can't do everything in the book because it will make the movie literally 10 hours long or more, I know it's hard for you to wrap your head around that.

I'm not saying books are superior to film, I'm saying that a movie adaptation of a book is going to be shit compared to the actual book. There are countless films you can see that prove my point.

I don't understand why you're typing all that nonsense out. Everyone understands that elements of a novel are going to be lost in translation. That doesn't mean the film is going to be inferior.
>>
>>83297039

Oh my god you are such a tasteless moron it is amazing.

If you think PLOT is the most significant aspect of books or films then you have a very superficial, rather pathetic understanding of both artforms.

There have been films that are far better than the books they were adapted from.

It really just sounds like you don't read or watch anything. Why you have deluded yourself into thinking that plot, characters, events, conflicts, etc are the most important aspects of either artform is just beyond informed understanding.

>>83297350

You legitimately believe that a movie can't be better than a book it's based on?

Here are a few examples off the top of my head: The Last Picture Show, Eyes Wide Shut, The Godfather, No Country For Old Men, Goodfellas, Raging Bull, The Wolf of Wall Street, Don't Look Now, Rebecca

Why do you for some reason think that an original plot is such an amazing thing? Look at all of the horrible movies that have "original" screenplays.

Movies are not made good because of their plots or their dialog.

>kubrick
my man, this doesn't disprove anything I've said.
I don't think that highly of Kubrick, just so we have that aspect cleared, but regarding his works.
I don't wanna get into Thackeray's shit, but I can give you some insight on clockwork orange.

the author of the book hated how kubrick interpreted the thing, and that's because kubrick decided on a certain aspect he wanted to develop and he developed it in his way and in his style.
basically, he took something from the book (he got inspired in a particular way by it) and approached it in his own way by utilising the film medium.

same could be said for barry lyndon and for 2001. it's not a 100% adaptation, no adaptations are (because it's also impossible).
so where do we stand on this? he go inspired by a piece of literature, either decided on certain parts of the book he liked that he adapted faithfully or observationally, or he simply took certain ideas and translated them to film.
what you're seeing on screen is not the book, it is someone's vision of certain passages, ideas or concepts in that book.

an original screenplay, written specifically to be made in film form, is far superior to any book adaptation.

Hey guys its me Jorgen McRetard you can't actually adapt book btw because when you adapt a book it is no longer words per se because the medium of film is not a medium of words. So when you adapt a book you lose the book and get a film which is why a film will never be a book.

my thoughts on an adaptation being allowed to compete with original screenplays at a festival that's supposed to showcase the best of the best in the filmmaking world. currently, the best of the best can be boiled down to whoever can be the bigger hack:
>I would honestly immediately disqualify any film from the Cannes festival that isn't an original screenplay

You can use whatever site you want but for me Critics Round Up is the far better source. The site's moderator is extremely discriminate in the reviewers that are used. It isn't just a grab bag full of randomness. The critics included on CRU are actual notable, quality reviewers.

This.

OP is retarded as fuck and probably underage, which is actually the same thing as "retarded" (not mentally sound enough).

Sofia Coppola is a "meh" director. I think the majority of film students can agree on that. I actually love Lost in Translation but I can separate my personal tastes from objective criticism, even though it IS in fact the best movie she made (note: I didn't watch The Beguiled yet and what I'm saying doesn't include this film).

The discussion about film x literature is one of the dumbest discussions in all history of art. Comparing two different art forms is ridiculously idiotic. There are just no limits to argue against or for any art form. I could say music is the best way to tell a narrative because it's short, concise and it sounds just like old oral storytelling, so music > film & literature!!!!!!!!!11111111

Anyway, if there's something I'm genuinely surprised though is that there is a thread about the Cannes Festival on /tv/. People here don't usually care about any other film that isn't in English or doesn't have a character with a mask on.

You haven't even seen the movie yet.

Fucking eh, /pol/, if you're going to let your ideology cover a blanket around you every time you're challenged by art then don't fucking watch it. But don't tell me it's shit when you haven't watched a frame just because it says something you don't rigidly agree with.

I liked Lost in Translation and Virgin Suicides. I also thought the Bling Ring had a little moxie. She's a good filmmaker. In this age where we've scraped the bottom of the barrel to remake everything, why not give her a shot to make a movie she wants?

Really, just fuck off /pol/ and let us talk about the faggy movies that play at the faggy French festivals in peace.
>>
i thought this was a lexxxi lockhart thread :(
>>
Coppola is a great director though, OP needs to chill out with the /pol/ bait.
>>
I'm skeptical this is a "feminist" movie (it sounds more like an aesthetic, "chicks going crazy" movie - a tradition in itself). Just because some journalists want to read it as feminist (of course they do) doesn't mean it should be reduced to that. Coppola's work tends to be more aesthetic and apolitical.


Also, I'm really bored of these angry political commentaries on both sides. Yes, leftist commentary is fucking insufferable (I know), but these buttblasted, resentment-fueled tirades attacking anything remotely even related to women is pointless and retarded. You should allow life room to breathe, allow women to make cool art without needing to take some feminist or otherwise stance on it.

Take for example any film based on a Stephen King book. The man is very creative and comes up with great stories, but as a writer he's a total hack. He describes too much.
HOWEVER
his descriptive obsession makes his books great material to base a movie on.

I'd agree that it probably dominates across most of the boards, or at the very least you could say there's a strong weariness of the current form of leftism.

I feel kind of post-/pol/ by now though.

Like it was really relevant to reject SJW-ism, like post-structuralist theory and its identity politics, but I can remain wholly dismissive of the left, globalism, feminism, Marxism, etc, without it necessarily mean that I have to be consumed with thoughts about my dislike of it, or that this has to translate into feeling any active hate of anybody. I can find multiculturalism flawed (partly in that so-called diversity as the left pushes it actually is anti-diversity in that it demands blending and everyone adopting the same position), and yet not meaning I have to feel any hate towards blacks or Jews or whoever. It was fun to goad leftists with their boogeyman they kept railing against over the years, but in truth I don't hate anyone, and the whole fucking culture war flamewar thing is BORING by now.

/pol/ isn't about hating and nor is white nationalism. Africa for Africans, Asia for Asians, White countries for everyone? That's bullshit. That's what white nationalism is about. You don't even have to be a supremacist.

Sure. That's one idea out there and it's as reasonable as any other. But then there's threads like this, obviously baiting to stir up hateful feelings. If people want to argue the value of their (ethnic) culture I'm totally sympathetic to that - after all, even leftists do when it comes to indigenous peoples (non-white ones) or black culture etc.

I think it's perfectly fair for that argument to extend to everyone; yes, even European descent peoples.

But I think it's pretty crucial that any notion worth its salt needs to be able to be adopted without it necessarily being seething with hatred and poisonous ideas. After all, if you want a notion normalized again, which means that functional, family-types are to except it, then it needs to be the province of reasonable, kindly people, and implemented from a place of love and reasonableness. Otherwise, like the leftist side, it's just the rantings of the resentful and angry. Anger has its function sometimes, but it can't be the entire engine of a healthy society.

family-types are to *accept it

>>83308645
Of course, we can agree on that. I accept hatred as a reaction to the things that hurt our people, you could even say it's a violent manifestation of love. After all, a parasite can expect its host to love him, can he?
>>
>>83308337
Europe for Europeans then by that logic sure, but then we can't just say America is for Euro-descent people because we've literally been here for only 400 years. Hell, Mexicans didn't even exist until about that timeframe too. The American experiment was "let's just let everyone ever go to that huge place where the natives are mostly dead and melt together and see what happens". America is globalism embodied, I don't understand why there's an arbitrary stopping point on when we stop the pot from melting.

Because it was founded as a white country. Because there was conquest. Then the retards fell for the jewish tricks and brought slaves. That's where everything started going downhill.

By your logic, if black people and immigrants are taking over the country, it's a matter of conquest just as well.
