Something I'd discover the first time I went to a Swedish beach as a kid on summer vacation from the States.

Fayez Butts posted:One, don't use the word pretentious and two, LVT isn't a pornographer, let alone a "cut-rate pornographer". It took only 2 minutes of Wikipedia searching to learn that Zentropa was not in fact a production company created wholly to produce porn, it was an off-shoot of Zentropa started and run by a different person entirely. The porn offshoot was run mainly by women, "with the goal of producing hardcore pornographic films for women", which is actually pretty loving cool in my opinion. Unlike you. In total, that company and another offshoot of Zentropa have created a grand total of 5 pornographic films from what I can tell, none of which were directed by Lars Von Trier. In closing, you're terrible. Cool, you're a cool dude. You sure do read stuff on the internet a lot.  Hey, here's a poster.  What's with Nas at the bottom there? He's... really out of place. It's the smirk.

It seems like a crime thriller or something. The main antagonist of the movie is a Ramapo Indian played by Woody Harrelson. The character's last name (De Groat) is even a real Ramapo Indian name. Part of the movie takes place in the Ramapos, though it's mainly set in PA. The tribespeople are apparently not happy with their depiction in the film.

But when a cruel twist of fate lands Russell in prison, his brother is lured into one of the most violent and ruthless crime rings in the Northeast – a mistake that will almost cost him everything. Once released, Russell must choose between his own freedom, or risk it all to seek justice for his brother. Well no loving wonder I was confused.

sportsgenius86 posted:making a single art film that is 5.5 hours long may be the pinnacle of pretentiousness Lars hit that point way back in The Five Obstructions. The movie is about a Director remaking their own short film five times in different ways at Lars' request (in theory, one time he throws a tantrum and tells the guy to just make whatever. He also outright asks the director to explain all the symbolism in his movie). However, there is no actual "fifth obstruction" - the film ends with a black-and-white montage, with Lars reading a letter he wrote about himself, to himself. That is the end of the movie. I mean I'm just saying that's the most pretentious thing I've ever seen, and I went to film school. I don't know what it is about these - they're so simple - but they're executed well and are really appealing. Calico Heart fucked around with this message at 17:21 on Dec 10, 2013 |

Gran Torino too. I really love this style, and I know that it's going to entirely over-saturate one sheet design in the next few years until we all hate it and want it to go away. Which is a shame, these are great.

Well I mean part of it is I just think maybe you're remembering it wrong. For one, Lars Von Trier is not the person reading the voiceover at the end; Jordan Leth is. And the fifth obstruction is not "there is no fifth obstruction," it's that Jordan Leth is forced to assume directorial credit for a version of the film that was entirely prepared by Lars Von Trier, and read from a script that Von Trier wrote from Leth's point of view as if they were his own words. Essentially, the challenge of the fifth obstruction is that Leth is denied artistic input entirely and forced to take credit for a film he didn't make.

I'm hoping it's because anything they've sent in by land can't reach the center of the destruction enough to figure out what's going on, and anything they've sent in under the storm has been blown out of the sky before they got a look and could report.

Skydive onto Godzilla. Plant some charges and blow a hole in him. Go inside the hole as deep as you can and plant as big a bomb as you can carry. Detonate the bomb. Optional objective: Escape before detonation. Godspeed, soldier.

I hope so too. I would just think that you'd maybe air drop some additional hardware, unless the government is under the wrong impression that it was a terrorist attack. Slim Killington posted:Uh, because it's cool as poo poo? You need something other than that? Never said it wasn't cool. I love the use of György Ligeti's track during the skydiving portion even. I'm just saying that wyoming's comment of the poster being poor execution of the trailer is a little miss, in my opinion, since the trailer doesn't explain the skydiving further.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:In other words, a prank. Oh most definitely, but that's kinda the point: the big theme of the movie is authorship, and the fifth obstruction is the most direct expression of that. The two big questions that the viewer comes away with are (1) whose film is this really, Leth's or Von Trier's, and (2) given that these explanations are coming out of the mouths of two extremely notorious cinematic pranksters, why should we believe anything that they say? It's a lot like F for Fake in that regard. It's funny to hear The Five Obstructions being called out as Von Trier at his worst because in my experience it's been the one film that even Von Trier haters appreciate.
