Last 15 minutes of Civil War got put out in the internet. I thought it was a fun action scene in isolation. Still very little desire to see the whole thing. https://twitter.com/GoodLionTV/status/1779531986165756365?t=v9j6dhy_pccumlm8zxUsaw&s=19

loquacius posted:can someone explain why one photographer just kind of jumped out of cover to photograph the enemy while the enemy was still shooting When Liberals in the 1970's read Dispatches and All the President's Men they formed this idea of reporters and war correspondents as heroic figures, and that's only snowballed since. Someone had a really great post recently about how English BAs at the time changed their curriculum to teach descriptive writing, and create future journalists. This went on to ruin English literature as most fiction now, at least by authors of middling ability (so most) just describes things in a scene. It makes sense that it had other knock on effects, like "dying for the art" being the highest expression of war photography, which is apparently also apolitical, and documentary, as well as artistic. Those vignettes in the clip where it transitions to the black and white photo, I suppose that the photographer took, shows you what the film thinks is important. That's probably worth unpacking. The important thing remembered for posterity is how it looked when the secret service agent fell, rather than, idk just some sergeant making geopolitical decisions like "no negotiations with the sitting American president", killing someone who came out to discuss a truce. Capturing that in purely aesthetic terms, without the context or political implications, is a microcosm for the film though, and I suppose gives away what the attitude towards journalism is here. It's heroic, it's "raising awareness", it's artistic, but it's also completely superficial.

If I remember, one of the books I have on war film mentioned this. The problem is that cover and concealment, obviously enough, don't play well with a visual medium. If the camera can shoot you, in most instances, so could the enemy. If your position, movement etc. is visible to the camera, you'd get shot. Well, this means that you can't really film a realistic military scene, you have to go for authenticity. It was interesting, it said that American audiences think of films in what the author said were "documentary" terms, insofar as their representation of reality. This leads to contradictions that can't be reconciled, and so it might be better to treat war films like stage plays, where stage fighting, stylized combat, is understood to convey a scene that can't be represented in the medium. The argument being just because you can point a camera at anything doesn't mean you can film anything, and combat in film needs to be conceptualized differently. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCrFZ-4xCKs DJJIB-DJDCT has issued a correction as of 20:44 on Apr 17, 2024 |

The filmed Coriolanus probably best does what the author suggests, since it's adapting from the stage to a war film, and so uses the theatre's representation of war - even though the actors have rifles, are dressed like contemporary soldiers etc, the combat is stage combat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iPZFmjqbIE The National Theatre's Othello was somewhat similar, though that was a stage production, albeit filmed, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyoCIwJn9Ic
