>What do you think about filmmakers who release multiple cuts of their films?
depends on the context. when it's someone like Michael Mann, who genuinely just likes to tinker with his work even after release, i'm fine with it. even like it, actually, because it can be fun to compare the different cuts. but when a director's film is chopped up by the studio and they're forced to (maybe) release their intended version as a director's cut? not so much.

>>83664543
>What do you think about filmmakers who release multiple cuts of their films?
Like Ridley "7 cuts are not a lot" Scott? Fuck that guy!
But as this guy >>83664824 says, sometimes it's not even the filmmaker's fault, just the studio fucking things up. Even Welles had problems with that.

Honestly it's because Welles is a pretty shit director. Not only did he do nothing new, most of his filmography is complete shit that just gets worse as it goes on. Citizen Kane is alright but nothing special unless it's the first film you've ever seen. Nonlinear story structure was already done in DW Griffith's Intolerance, shadows and low angles in sound already done in John Ford's Arrowsmith, invisible cuts and whippans in DW Griffith's Abraham Lincoln, deep focus in William Wyler's stuff as well as Jean Renoir's, and Citizen Kane's script is literally Power and the Glory which Preston Sturges wrote. Power and the Glory honestly looks a lot like Kane visually and was directed by William K Howard, who is a far better director than Welles could ever hope to be. But really what makes Welles shit is he lacks any subtlety whatsoever. He makes use of long takes and multiple events happening in the frame well, but his mise en scene is turned up to 11. A lot of his shots look like they were done by a film school freshman shouting for attention (which he kind of was since he was schooled on film history before directing Kane). Really, he's just a name easily impressed plebs that don't know their history lap up.

It must suck that you dedicate all your time to looking at a screen. You must watch movies since you don't get any longform social interaction otherwise. This is why film will never be art. The self-described "patricians" don't even know what life is firsthand.

If your social interactions were anything decent, your only hobby wouldn't be watching flickering images on a screen (not even a hobby to begin with let alone an art)

>>83668929

>>83669031
Explain what makes Citizen Kane or anything by Orson Welles beyond decent because it's not. Most of his flicks are trash. Magnificent Ambersons and Citizen Kane are probably a 2/5.

what does the self-conscious hipster do? a high but not so high score meanwhile focusing specifically on the drawbacks of the movie

Not trying to argue, it's a fact, Manoel de Oliveira is miles better than Griffith, he even placed poetic text onscreen in the vein of a silent film, but was done much more profoundly and intelligently than Griffith.

Oliveira also respects and utilizes spacial awareness and staging to go beyond theatre mise en scene, much more so than reddit directors like Griffith and Tarkovsky.

What is the significance of the avant-garde film? Not the art film, the avant-garde that has nothing to say and is essentially random images (i.e. home movies with slightly more formal concern)? Do they merely act as installation ""art"" and the equivalent of cinematic paintings? Then their concerns for the audience are strictly emotional in the same vein as popcorn entertainment.

Griffith did pioneer surrealism. Check the biographs, plebbit. And expressionist sets aren't essential to the medium as their a theatrical distortion of reality. See Louis Delluc, Rene Clair, and Bazin

Nobody cares about who made what first. The unwashed masses will be happy to pay $15 to some jew to hear the same old story again. When you realize this you will understand the true nature of film.

everybody who's taken a single class on Bazin knows about his stark opposition to any mise-en-scene that tears the fabric of objective reality, be it in order to make it readable (supression of elements, rearrangement) or to make it fantastic

I can tell you've never read a single one of Bazin's essays, wikipediababby. Take a picture of a single one of his texts where he says he wants objective reality. Bazin already explained the falsification and illusion of total reality and film's inherent relationship to perceptual and subjective reality. And quit misusing mise en scene, you don't even know what spontaneous plasticization means.

>5 minutes
I already know you haven't read a single Bazin essay. Just admit it and leave.

>>83677499
every single one of them? his criticism of eisenstein and how he uses ideology to distort reality should be familiar to you.

>Bazin already explained the falsification and illusion of total reality and film's inherent relationship to perceptual and subjective reality
I'm not talking about total cinema, I'm talking about objective reality and its relationship to photographic film. like kracauer, he sees it as a medium best suited for minimal subjective input. hence his praise of hawks, murnau and many other that achieved "invisible style"
that view is clearly anathema to the heavy manipulation and subjectivity of fantastical filmmaking and surrealism

>8 minutes
well, meganigger?

>>83677786
No, Bazin doesn't say Eisenstein uses ideology to distort reality, he says he imparts his ideology onto the viewer with his cuts and disintegrating duplicity of the frame. And he did not praise Murnau for 'invisible style" he praised him for on-location shooting and extended tracking shots tard. And once again you do not know what spontaneous plasticization means let alone its relationship to surrealism.

Yes, it's an avant garde movie with commercial appeal, pretty rare thing. I liked everything about it. The structure is novel and interesting by itself, and also adds significantly to realism. The acting was on point: they sounded like teenagers during a Skype call and you didn't need more than this. I think people trashing this movie are usually too hung up on >muh narrative and were let down by the simplicity of it all (yes, it's a very simple yet well executed plot).
