i wouldn't call Orson Welles or even The Lady from Shanghai shit. it's hard to judge a film that's missing over an hour from its director's intended cut. as far as Citizen Kane goes, i actually did really like it. it's a borderline 5 star, but i do think it drags as it gets bogged down in Kane's political campaign and relationship with Susan Alexander.

i guess what i mean to say is that it's hard to judge it and reflect that back on the director. for all we know, the 155 minute cut is a masterpiece butchered by the studio. it's certainly possible, given the visual fidelity of the version released, but we'll never know because the footage was lost.

Watched Hounds of Love last night, reminded me of Monster with Charlize Theron. I thought it was great but I'm biased because it was shot in my city and I worked on it briefly.

i wanted to write a review for Sicario comparing the relative success and talents of Villeneuve, Nolan, and Diao Yinan, but i really couldn't figure out how to begin. oh well.

I tried my hand at my first real review. Can people tell me if it seems okay, did I get my points across well?

https://letterboxd.com/Dchao/

>>83699926
structurally it's fine, though it concludes somewhat abruptly, but you need to pay more attention to word choice and grammar. avoid putting qualifiers in front of adjectives ("real" seems to be a problem for you) and starting sentences in the middle of an idea ("So once the humans and apes meet and start interacting,", "The clashing ideals of both Caesar and his right hand Koba;"). it gets your point across as is, but it's very clunky to read.

>>83700055
the hackjob the studio editor did on it renders it basically incoherent and (presumably) removes any depth from the characters that was present in Welles' original cut. it looks great, though, especially the hall of mirrors climax.

also, and i recognize that this is something of a nitpick, the trial in the last third of the film is the most legally inaccurate thing i think i've ever seen in a film.

I've been too sick for the past few days to watch any movies. I'd get twenty minutes or half-an-hour into one and turn it off. Feels like I'm over it now, so kino, here I come!

Citizen Kane is a fucking 2 you pleb. Welles is a 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.

His films aren't films that's why only Contempt and Breathless are high on the Sight and Sound polls (postmodernism and exploration of the director's role). They're experiments to put his theories detached from Bazin to the test. You're better off reading his own theoretical essays and watching Griffith and gangster movies from the 30's since that's where all of Godard's theories stem from (instinctive cuts, youth, audience projections, etc.). He even admitted it himself

They are both incredibly influential directors, probably among the top ten ever.

Godard's pre-67 films are still actually watchable which is more than I can say for Griffith though.

Will do. Are there older films that have ~40min single takes like in Kaili Blues? Or do you think that it was just a bad example of a long take? I assume you've seen the film. Also, is there one longer than 7 hours? That'd be interesting if there was.

I never claimed it did. What films had longer takes in the silent era? I've never heard of one that had a longer one in the silent era. I'm genuinely curious, you're the one that brought up long takes. I'm not going to pester you for an answer, so if you dodge my question again, I'll just take it as a no.

Why is megaautist so happy making the same 2 or 3 arguments for hours and hours in this thread

he's clearly at least a reasonably clever dude, just do something else!! It's so boring to read, I don't understand how it isn't boring for him!! He will never get anywhere or achieve anything, there are much more productive uses of that time

Post your lists plebs
>>83711943

>>83712040
First you need to distinguish between long takes of single events and tracking shots (which a lot of the longest ones were achieved at the end of the silent era) or static wide shots. Since the latest gookshit has been praised for minimalist wide shots with unmoving camera, there has been a new academic appraisal of the first feature films that were essentially static wide shots for 40+ minutes. So if anything, things have gone backwards. If you want to academically appreciate films, you have to know history first, pleb.

I'm nailing down the taste of /lbg/ and I notice a trend. Also, notice a trend of why people tend to not like Chaplin here. Most of the movies /lbg/ likes deal with murder, aggression, insanity, cynicism, and the general worst of humanity. The question is "does /lbg/ only rate a film highly if it piles on these elements" and "how do those elements make a film better let alone more complex". Is Chaplin therefore garbage because his films don't apply to /lbg/'s thinking.

I don't need to distinguish anything, I asked you a simple question. If you can't name a single film after an hour of searching, I don't think you have a real answer. Let me know when you can name a single film in the silent era that has a shot longer than 40 minutes.

This is why form cannot be divorced from content otherwise capeshit in IMAX or Gravity would be the greatest films of all time. Griffith was a master of form and content. He pioneered and utilized all known techniques intelligently, and there has yet to be a film more complex or far-reaching than Intolerance

Thoughts on Chaplin's sentimental films vs his comedic films? They're good but I have a hard time enjoying them as much as his comedic films, which is why I prefer Buster Keaton.

>>83712890
That's not really exclusive to /lbg/. Most people in various other media also have a snobbish attitude towards themes that aren't that dark.
