i say swears online posted:Just something that I thought I'd point out: All of the footage from the various countries and even Hammer were from Tony's personal phone, possibly from his personal server mentioned in IM1. Which means that he's been actively keeping a very close and a very good eye on people trying to copy the Iron Man tech. And doing a better job at it than the actual government and military. it owns how no one can positively describe anything tony stark actually does in these movies without sounding like theyre a member of a cult

In school I learned that if you don't tell something from a character's subjective point of view, then the shot will read as director's commentary, there is no 'objectivity' in storytelling. Another example, if two people are having an intimate moment and we cut wide, they are in a restaurant and the whole room is looking at them, we can get a laugh or realize they are lost in their love or something. it's sorta a comment on them from the filmmaker, or else it must be the point of view of another person in the room which gives us another understanding of the events. Either a character, or director's point of view. That was great thanks

double negative posted:last thing i saw in theaters was the woman king which was fun visually, entertaining in the way that watching a swole viola davis run around and kill colonizers is guaranteed to be, but contrived as all hell and genuinely bad from a historical standpoint Not saying that that was your opinion, but I've read at least one thinkpiece this week about how the Woman King is part of the heinous woke agenda to change how we view history.

platzapS posted:Hereditary had an absolutely amazing sequence but the end where the demons are unambiguously real was silly. Much like Rosemary's Baby. i liked the intro which is intense but don't go in expecting a horror film, its more of a slow paced black comedy version of wickerman where youre meant to root for the deaths of the dumbass main cast. i think my and my friends issue was we went in expecting it to be a horror and ended up terminally bored instead cause jesus christ it felt its 3 hour length i dont remember there being any directly supernatural elements though Communist Thoughts has issued a correction as of 14:09 on Oct 18, 2022 |

This is a ridiculous way of defining things If Jackie Chan is the director, and the star, and tbe camera goes way up high over his head, whose perspective is it? It can't be chan the actor or Chan the director It's the cameras/movies perspectives, chosen by dozens of workers including lights, cinematographer, camera operator (might also be chan in some scenes!!!) Etc

I need to watch more martial arts films. You guys know good stuff. Any reccs? mastershakeman posted:This is a ridiculous way of defining things This is kinda the way we can use auteur theory to location some sort of personal thesis about a narrative in some sort of source external to ourselves, isn't it? We talk about a film having a perspective, or a director owning a film and arguing a thesis through it (even if it's just something as simple and lovely as "boobs nice, explosions pretty good too"). But actually we're just attributing our own personal thesis to someone else.

But when black people does the same it is very concerning. yeah that’s definitely not my opinion. i’m generally not pressed about complete historical accuracy and went to see this flick specifically because i was looking forward to seeing black folks putting african stories on the screen (and the cast is stacked). they just wanted to highlight badass women warriors and to do so they depicted slavers as liberators. that in particular is kinda tough for me to look past, especially as a descendent of the folks who were getting sold

mastershakeman posted:martial arts recs: what are you looking for? pure martial arts or 'action' generally? I was thinking both Hong Kong action flicks and films made by actors / directors when Hollywood came along and tried to incorporate that film making into its bulk. I've put together very short lists in terms of both: The Stunt Woman. Hardboiled and the Police Stories for the former, and some more Hollywood era John Woo for the latter (my god wtf was Mission Impossible II). I'll take your already provided reccs and add them to their respective lists, but if you've got any more specific recommendations I'd be happy to hear them. I'd be happy with films from China generally as well tbh. I've seen Kung Fu Hustle and Crouching Tiger, but that's about it (though I recognise that both are hybrids). I will have a look through that filmschoolrejects list as well though. I'm trying to make a concerted effort to broaden my tastes.

I just watched a 40 minute video about the evolution of Donnie Yens career and its relevant to this conversation, because even picking just one "star" is going to give you wildly different subgenres. For him, iron monkey & hero (one of my favorite movies ever) are the more fantasy oriented wu xia pieces, then you have stuff like flashpoint and SPL where he's integrated MMA with sick throws, and finally his ip man series which is historical and semi grounded. Or take Scott Adkins, who stars in nothing but cheap direct to dvd greatness. His fighting and characters change some, but not that much, which results in about a dozen excellent movies that are going to deliver 90 minutes of fun (undisputed 2,3, debt collector 1&2, accident man 1&2, ninja 2, avengement, universal soldier day of reckoning, one shot, eliminators, savage dog). But some people are gonna get bored with that while loving Tony jaas stuff instead, which is also really good (protector, ong bak, SPL 2) the list goes on!

That hypocrisy can be called out without excusing THIS incident of apologism for slavers.

I feel like mainstream representation movies made in the US are still in an era where they're aiming for something aspirational, which leaves them with few options when dealing with problematic history. You don't get an equivalent of The Northman, 300 or other Hollywood movies where it's clear the protagonists aren't good guys by our modern standards. Arguably you can't really do that, since anything like that would just foster interpretations that they're depicting these cultures as savages deserving of colonization (which is what some critics took out of Apocalypto). I dunno. Maybe Hollywood needs to get that kind of movies out of its system first before other stories can be told.

Amazon of all places has some Shaw Brothers classics you can stream for free if you have Prime. There's 36th Chamber of Shaolin and One Armed Boxer. I'm also a big fan of 8 Diagram Pole Fighter, but you may need to pay for that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OG1GEiKWwW4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoKUf1kMv_g The final fight is still one of the most awesome things I've ever seen.

I like going to the theater, it can give folks a whole different feeling, but no movie releases use that to their advantage anymore on top of ever movie release being the safest garbage that can be produced.
