Ratedargh posted:The way I wrote that is definitely clunky and I should have separated the two ideas more clearly. I think that is very clear in the movie about KMT being not communist, but I was also referencing mainland China (even though it's all set in Taiwan) as the family left and they, themselves, are certainly not communist but are suspected to be. Which winds up making the dad's arrest even more frustrating. This is all, of course, assuming I didn't miss something/or make a leap that is actually inaccurate (entirely possible!). But how would that be a critique of communism?

Yeah Ugetsu is often sold as a horror movie a la Onibaba or Kuroneko but it’s not at all. It’s a story that has ghosts in it

R2 and Threepio definitely spend less time contemplating sexual assault. Or at least less time explicitly doing so

If you're suggesting a Denis film to a horror fan, it's hard not to start with Trouble Every Day

Zogo posted:They Live by Night - It had more more romance than expected as we see a few domestic tragedies play out. Bowie (Farley Granger) must choose between his wife and his fellow convicts. Innocent love starts with a rushed $20 wedding followed by an unpleasant life on the run. This wedding did not portend a happy ending. Have you seen altman's version of the same story, Thieves Like Us ?

Zogo posted:No, not yet. I still have many Altman films to see. It's a less melodramatic take, with a lot more quiet study of domestic life and the rural US at the time. I prefer it but They Live By Night is dope too.

Magic Hate Ball posted:One Sings, The Other Doesn't. If you didn’t watch it, The Pleasure of Love in Iran is a short that I think was a cut segment from One Sings that is also on the criterion channel/in the box set. It’s like 6 minutes and interesting in its own right.

twernt posted:I've seen a lot of them with both subbed and dubbed (with the kids) and the dubs are generally good enough that they don't take you out of the movie. I'd even go so far as to say that the dubs for Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away are actually really good. I think they’re all quite good except for Mononoke, actually, because Billy Bob Thornton just completely mails his performance in, he’s distractingly bad. Ponyo probably has the dub that diverges most from the subs DeimosRising fucked around with this message at 04:47 on Aug 10, 2021 |

piratepilates posted:Seeing Brando in what may be one of his prime acting roles was interesting, the only other movie I've seen him in is The Island of Dr. Moreau, … I definitely respect him as a director for his work on The Godfather, The Conversation, and Apocalpyse Now, One of these can’t be true!

Zogo posted:The Spider's Stratagem - A son is trying to piece together what happened to his father many years earlier. It's a mystery that dates back to 1936. He was believed to be murdered by fascists but the truth is more complicated. The son leaves no stone unturned and it's like a documentary at times. The whole film is wrapped up in a strangely haunted atmosphere. Ultimately, it's a reminder that any political ideology is capable of subterfuge. i glanced at the wikipedia and does this seriously end with a reference to Mussolini making the trains run on time and is that played as a joke or what?
