Why is this film never talked about here? I just watched it,

It has some nice practical effects. That's it.

Its a very mediocre movie with some very interesting artistic choices and nice costuming.

And adult kids film

Uses the same plot device as The Princess Bride

Better looking and more original

>>85252497
Anyone who actually likes films left this board years ago.

Also, Singh hasn't made a decent movie since.

It's a bad movie with nice visuals.
Pretty meh.

>>85252497
>Knowing the background of the film makes it seem very pretentious
How? Its a movie about making movies and storytelling in general.

Had potential, like these fairy tale/real world kinda movies. Looks absolutely amazing.
Other than that pretty mediocre

>>85252874
>director single-handedly financed it
>filmed in over 20 different countries
>no CGI
>scenes with the little girl are unscripted
>the crew were convinced the main actor was actually paralysed

Why is everyone saying it's meh? it's the only movie that's ever brought me close to tears as an adult. It was beautiful.

>>85252497
I remember that /tv/ used to talk about it all the time years ago

>>85252717
>Also, Singh hasn't made a decent movie since.
Does he write his own scripts? It seems like he would benefit from a creative collaboration with a really good scriptwriter.
He has the visual aspects down better than most of his peers but it all feels like its in service of a the most lackluster stories and it never elevates the material.

>>85253075

They think its the same as a Wes Anderson film: great production design but no heart

>>85253039
How does any of that make it "pretentious"?

>Why is this film never talked about here?
Maybe because the plot was a vehicle for the visuals. The innocence and brilliance of youthful perception. A love letter to our world and what is in it.

>>85253111
>Wes Anderson
>no heart

Wow, no wonder Star Wars and capeshit dominate this board.

>tfw you will never get to watch it in a theater

>>85253111
It had a tremendous amount of heart

Ripped of Baraka, cringe-tier plot without any substance at all.

>>85253131
Its the type of amateur film artist stuff that directors will allow themselves to believe will translate to more honest/genuine performance, but it actually doesn't have any effect on anything actually shown.

garth marenghi's darkplace is basically three hours of this concept

>>85253358
>Baraka
>not a rip off of Il pianeta azzurro and the -qatsi films

>>85253418
>honest/genuine

I bet you think Armond White is a real critic.

>>85253460
the fall straight copies scenes and shots directly from baraka.

Immortals is good too

>>85253556
Like what?

>>85253584
You wouldn't need to ask if you'd seen the movies.

>>85253613
I saw it like 5 years ago.

>>85253712
Which? the fall or baraka? As we're talking about two movies.

Enjoy your pleb shit if thats what you want to do. I was just pointing out as was the other anon with taste.

>>85253910
>>85253915
Do either of you even know what film that shot from the REM video is referencing?

>>85253960
I'm pretty sure its something only you can tell us.

>>85254034
So no?

>>85254034
It's entry level as fuck if you watched anything outside of capeshit.

>>85253075
This.

>>85253230
This too

>>85254050
>>85254075
I'm going to take that as proof of >>85254034

>>85254151
I'm going to take this proof of your ignorance of cinema.

I saw it twice, the first time I liked the story quite a bit, and the second time, like 5 years later, I watched it for the visuals, which are just great

it's a very aesthetically pleasing film; the story though isn't all that amazing, but it's ok
srsly I think it's a beautiful movie; I've rarely seen such great use of color

a bit overrated on imdb, I think

Unironically my favorite film

>>85254406
Your reluctance to state what you feel the shot is referencing is only further reinforcing the assertion that said reference does not exist outside of your own mind.

>>85254515
What if I told you the reference has been noted on the Wikipedia article of Losing My Religion?

>>85253811
Not the autist involved in this reply chain, but what's this a homage to? I probably am entry level as fuck.

>>85254593
Then I would shift gears and imply your film knowledge comes from wikipedia.

>>85253418
Did you just fucking diss both The Fall and Garth Marenghi's Darkplace in one post?!!?

Anon, if I knew who you were we'd be discussing what you think is actually "honest/genuine" film and television in some back alley of your shit town if you catch my drift.

As bad as /tv/ gets you're one of the worst. Never show your face on these boards of a Mongolian knitting site ever fucking again Armond White.

>>85254691
Seems more like you're trying to imply, somehow, that even though Singh's entire career has been based in and upon outright plagiarism, hes somehow not guilty of plagiarism.

>>85254787
Seems like you haven't seen a single Tarkovsky film.

>>85254739
Darkplace is making fun of directors like singh.

>>85254813
It seems like you proved the initial assertion that singh copies whole scenes and shots from better movies/directors and, having failed to refute that, are attempting to assert some other level of superiority in order to save face.

>>85254245
there is even BBC, nice

>>85254787
>Singh's entire career has been based in and upon outright plagiarism
That's a bold and unsupported claim

>>85255009
Its a middle of the road and proven claim, proof of which is in this thread.

>>85255077
>proof of which is in the thread
>literally not one actual piece of proof in the thread
What did he mean by this

>>85254691
I'm a noob, but could you tell me if that's from The Sacrifice
if it's not, where's it from?

you have two types of people on 4chan, people who love capeshit and contrarians who hate anything that isn't some tarkovsky borefest.

theres no space for people in between, thats why you don't hear it talked about

i loved it personally desu

>>85255186
You realize you just admitted the reason the fall is never talked about is because its mediocre, right? Its pretty but lacks substance.

>>85255312
Do you ever get bored of shitposting?

>>85252497

It is one of my favorite films

>>85255366
>shitposts
>accuses non-shitposter of shitposting

...

The Fall is literally Зepкaлo for DCucks and Hannifags.

>>85255312
>isnt a borefest
>isnt capeshit
>THAT MEANS IT MEDIOCRE HUR

sorry kid, u r wrong *teleports away*

>>85255577
If you want to pretend that it's just a ripoff, why wouldn't you use the film it's actually based on?

>>85252497

/tv/ used to obsess about this movie back in like 2010-2011.

so could someone help me with >>85255151
>>85254691 before the thread dies?

hey that's kinda cool, is there some extension/plugin for searching a file's hash in the archives? I have 4chan X and it doesn't seem to have that

I actually did the google search but didn't notice that one single result for Opfer

thanks btw

So I guess you all reconsidered by now and came to the conclusion this is pleb shit?
