Willem Dafoe was the invisible personification of capitalism. He was in every scene but wore a green Lycra bodysuit and was made invisible in post

My heart is so full of warmth watching youtubes of Oscar viewing parties cheering Parasite’s wins https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6D7eo66pII “Is Parasite that good?” Everybody else: “YES”

General Dog posted:Was it good? I’d heard it was the worst Laika movie It's good! It's aimed less at kids than their previous flicks. The problem is that it was extremely expensive to make and made all of like 5 bux. The girl giving the tour said that it was a wake up call and that Laika had finally decided to hire a comprehensive marketing director.

coronavirus posted:At the end of the day, The Departed winning isn't a tragedy. It was a very good movie with 1st rate actors and a 1st rate director with a good story. Its not a travesty of a best picture win like Shakespare in Love or Chicago or Braveheart. Thin Red Line, Babe and I guess The Hours maybe would be my picks those years. I don't think any of those are as big a joke as Crash or Green Book though.

Babe.... the pig movie? Am I being whooshed here? Braveheart's year had Usual Suspects,Leaving Las Vegas,Seven and Apollo 13. Hell, Toy Story was also that year and is a much better kids movie. Those are all remarkably better movies than Babe.

I remember that Oscars night as that was during my freshman year at college & we were in the dorms watching it like a bunch of dorks. We got a small group chanting for Babe to win best picture. Somehow I thought George Miller was involved with the 1st one but he didn't come on until Babe: Pig in the City.

Kull the Conqueror posted:What is this world I live in where anyone would just casually call Braveheart or Babe bad Honestly I'd be more offended by someone calling Babe bad. Braveheart is fine but also kinda boring and doesn't really bring anything new to the table as far as historical epics go. The thing that got it the most attention was really the brutal violence, aside from that it's pretty standard and doesn't do much that's unexpected.

I enjoyed Braveheart just fine, but I've never felt the need to ever watch it again.

As much as the narrative is conventional, it's really tightly composed, and on top of that it's so gloriously, unapologetically bombastic and anachronistic that it becomes this unforgettable history theme park ride. I remember Last of the Mohicans more fondly out of the 90s candle-lit long-haired freedom fighter genre, but Braveheart is the big expensive apex that encapsulates its era so well. It makes perfect sense that the industry would recognize it and I'm glad it did e: This scene is where it's at. It's got so much great technique https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KdjUNIcP8k Kull the Conqueror fucked around with this message at 20:00 on Feb 13, 2020 |

He was heavily involved with the first one, he just didn't direct. Pig in the City is perhaps the best childrens film ever made. It's also gloriously leftist and has a Mad Max style centerpiece chase scene that features dogs instead of cars.

zenintrude posted:My problem with MoM (and some of Bongs other films) have been that they didn’t find the right balance - or perhaps mixture - of seriousness and goofiness... there are points in MoM that border on Keystone Cops despite the overarching subject matter being dark/serious. Felt like I was experiencing whiplash. That's just a broader feature in Korean film and tv generally.

It's extremely rad, carnivalesqe, and super emotional. It should be the foundational text for how to introduce children to film. No joke.

The thing that got it the most attention was really the brutal violence, aside from that it's pretty standard and doesn't do much that's unexpected. Historical epics were dead when Braveheart was released, and nobody was making 3 hour movies. Braveheart paved the way for things like Titanic and really is what allowed movies to be 3 hours again because it was so well received.

Someone should remake Braveheart and this time actually set the battle of Stirling Bridge on a bridge instead of a field And of course basing it on the ridiculous and dramatised version by Blind Harry.
