I watched the first episode of GoT II and I stand by my opinion that the tournament in this show wasn't as exciting or compelling as the jousting from A Knight's Tale

The Breaking Bad Cinematic Universe hasn't necessarily ruined all other TV for me, but drat it makes you realize how blandly most TV is shot. Like drat, HOT D had hundreds of millions of dollars behind it and all the dialogue is Cinematography 101 A-B shots.

WampaLord posted:A Knight's Tale has many charming anachronisms, it's kind of it's gimmick I read a bit about this in a book on history film. The director explained that orchestral scores as we know them would be just as anachronistic for the middle ages, I believe most instruments we’re familiar with had not been invented yet, and that rock music better let contemporary audiences understand how people would have felt about the popular sports and pro athletes of their day. It was pretty interesting, the production team researched the historical music and instrumentation of the period, they had considered it, but “hey nonny nonny” music sounds incredibly alien to modern audiences and they felt it would take them out of the movie. They had the same approach to most of the production design and dialogue, it was really interesting. I suppose you could say after doing the research they felt for the movie to have a wide release they had to appeal to emotional, rather than historical, truth. Similarly for Troy, they had the foremost expert on the Late Bronze Age Aegean, iirc a curator at the British Museum, a Homeric scholar, several other historians, consulting on the film and production design and they felt that depicting the period accurately would be alien-to-incomprehensible to audiences. They still tried to move away from the aesthetic of Classical Greece, no fluted columns, I think no hoplons or Corinthian helms, but had to for instance have coins placed on the eyes of the deceased and monumental statues of the gods in a temple, when they knew that was inaccurate. Apparently they agonized over how to depict Thetis, so shot her scene in a way that’s ambiguous, you can see her as a woman walking by the seaside, or as a sea nymph. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_URv1O1zlEw Similarly, of course, there’s the death of Achilles, where they wanted audiences to understand how the arrow remaining in his heel could take on greater and greater significance in each retelling of the story https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=H4CCmPXgeSo I totally forgot that Aeneas and his father are in the film too. There was thought and care put into this movie, but I think they were wary of turning people away. Osprey had a series of books on myth where one illustration would be as good a historical recreation of the event as they could come up with, for instance Saint George and the dragon is a late Roman cavalryman confronting a crocodile, and their recreation of the Trojan War is not so different from the costumes chosen for the film, they just exaggerated them and made them more familiar and cinematic.

He realized that jousting is an older permutation of modern sports and so he turned it into a stadium, along with their own Jock Jams Vol 1. Fantastic choice.

i say swears online posted:lotr looks pretty drat good One of my friends saw it and thought it sucked because the pace was so fast for just a couple episodes. Absolutely sounds like they're trying to empty of bag of shiny rocks to attract viewers instead of letting them soak in the scene. This thing is apparently planned for 5 seasons. It could get better but first impression sounds awful.

i've noticed that kino lorber is posting lots of dope movies/documentaries on their youtube channel. this documentary from 1984 about the cold war is like a proto-adam curtis flick without the annoying british then something happened voiceovers. just raw newsreels, clips, clever editing and music (lots of commie-hating jams in the portion I've watched) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9xQTJ-kbUk

Also, let's face it, if you take a time machine to a sports event pretty much anywhere on the planet whenever there's something recognisable as sports, and start doing the stomps and claps during the warm-up, you'll probably have the entire audience doing it within 5 minutes. Kinda like what Baz Lurhmann does with historicals, like Great Gatsby and Elvis; period music has entirely different associations for modern audiences than it does for the people at the time, so it's going to look weird when what's presented as wild party music sounds like something your grandma would put on to sleep.

The new game of thrones is just people reeling off expository monologues to eachother describing how stuff that wasn't shown is really important. It seems short sighted to speed through the content like that since this is the only prequel story that's at all fleshed out and it's only gonna get worse once it's over. Plus it still has the stupid sexposition scenes except theyr starring Matt Smith one of the most unappealing dudes of the modern era

So many people hate luhrmann for his musical choices and crazy edits. And meanwhile, here I was jaws on the floor whenever Austin Butler's Elvis was performing. Absolute magnetic editing. Went back and saw Moulin Rouge! and its a bollywood movie compressed into half the time and with the same amount of songs.

It feels cheap to say that movie has Tarantino vibes but it absolutely does. Then again I think Baz Lurhamm and Tarantino definitely both love colours and camp, almost uniquely in modern Hollywood. ...that and that particular scene is pretty much Tarantino's thing of a tense standoff with rapidly oscillating tension and the characters being both eager and terrified thugs.

Me watching the first hour of Elvis: whoa people weren't kidding when they said the editing in this was nauseating Me watching the last hour of Elvis: the Genius Baz has put us on the same whirlwind journey Elvis was caught in. America exploits its young artists with fantasies of luxury until they're a husk of their former selves, then tosses them aside like garbage.
