When was the last time Ridley Scott made a good movie?
that movie about the knights fighting each other was good. and while he's declined in some areas, his visual style is still S-tier. all of his movies look great from a visual standpoint. even stuff that wasn't well received like prometheus looks fucking incredible. most movies today look terrible but ridley scott still nails it every time.
The Martian (2015) wasn't bad. It was fine for what it was.
It was Aliens, but that one alone gives him the right to say anything he likes.Film is in a rut, all because of TDS and anti-White-male-ism. Problem is Hollywood is a Jew hugbox so they'll never fix their shit. Bush II gave them brain damage, Trump broke them. Unless the studios literally reform, including all the board and all executives, and everybody down to the mail room clerks, they are doomed.
>>521034454Aliens was James Cameron lmao
>>521034112Black hawk down was probably the last good movie.
>>521034112The Martian was a good flick
>>521034112He made a good movie?
Raised By Wolves was too good for television, there were some fields to play in there
Ridley Scott original movie: kinoRidley Scott sequel: unwatchable diarrhea
>>521034498Fifth Element then.
>>521034112Kingdom of Heaven director's cut
>>521034664
>>521034112Prometheus was good
>>521034559Alien is inarguably a great film, Blade Runner is a mess kind of, but still good. Gladiator was okay.Rest are meh at best, but very beautiful visually.
>>5210345592 of the top 5 most acclaimed and influential science fiction films of all time were directed by him
>>521034112i feel like he could make kino but he chooses not too anymore you could see what he was trying to do with raised by wolves and the original script for prometheus but of course it got jewed and had to go the DEI route due to hollywood execs breathing down his neck it sucks that in todays society its perfectly acceptable to limit a artists capability to create
>>521034728I too like the prequels, check out Alien Black Liquid fan edit with the deleted scenes added back in
>>521034661>>521034942I feel like everything interesting thematically about Alien came from HR Giger's designs themselves and not from Scott
>>521034112The Counselor was okay. Ridley Scott has one of the most uneven filmographies ever. A half dozen classics, a dozen forgettable flicks, and a half dozen truly bad movies. All mixed up, a shit movie followed by a classic followed by a forgettable flick. Prometheus has to be his all-time worst, though.
>>521034112The Last Duel
>>521035175Alien: Covenant was worst than Prometheus. Also, he definitely has fewer than 6 classics. More like 2-4.
Legend
>>521035255*worse
>>521035133yeh without a doubt giger was a freak even by todays standards but he was original his whole fusing of bio mechanical lifeforms is very interesting
2000 (Gladiator)
>>521034749>Alien is inarguably a great filmVisually, maybe. The plot was grade-D stuff. A waste of some great actors (John Hurt, Ian Holm). I preferred the sequel directed by James Cameron.
>>521034112heres a picture of somekind of lungworm
>>521035255>gladiator>blade runner>alienThat’s it as far as I’m concerned. I like kingdom of heaven personally but it is not a good movie
He has talent but his major weakness is his inability to depict moral ambiguity and nuance so every “bad” character is some comic book character, and we root for every “good” character like he’s Jesus
>>521035255Covenant was shit, too, but I still say Prometheus was worse.
>>521035133I disagree, a claustrophobic slasher flick in space with the obvious creepy rape/impregnation allegory probably still would've been a good flick with a different xenomorph, but I'm certainly glad it was Giger's xeno rather than some lesser artist'sI guess the only other movie I know he worked on was Species and I think he did a PC game which both were not much to write home about
>>521035465The Duellists, his first film, is hands down his very best
>>521034112Kingdom of Heaven
>>521034664You silly twat
>>521035559It's a classic. One of his best.
>>521035551Giger made the rape undertones 1000x more rapey than they would have been otherwise
>>521035656God bless that man
>>521035559I saw that a couple of years ago and it's retarded. why doesn't he just kill harvey kietel since he knows he's just gonna just keep coming back
>>521035465This is correct
>>521034112The Duelists was his only good movie. You may think otherwise, but that is because you are wrong, mentally retarded, and a spiritual if not literal serf.
>>521035465>>521035989Is Thelma & Louise any good?
>>521035507That could describe a lot of people. James Cameron comes to mind in a much bigger way
>>521035981Here's one now. What a shit covered buck toothed beaut.
>>521036072It's okay. Basically GRRLPOWER: The Movie. All men are rapists, yadda yadda. Simplistic but not pants-on-head retarded like Prometheus.
>>521034112Not Gladiator 2, I’ll tell you that much.I was frothing at the mouth with rage when they had to fight the feral chupacabras.Fucking retarded.
>>521036092>James Cameron comes to mind in a much bigger wayI think Cameron just knows what his movies are for. They're guided emotional experiences, so the audience needs to empathize with the main characers totally and hate the absolute fuck out of the villain so they experience maximum catharsis when the good guys win and the bad guys lose. (and memorable endings happen when you mix two strong emotions at the same time)He's really really good at creating those emotions in audiences, maybe the best to ever do it.
>>521036048it's stupid. the movie should end after the first duel. or at the very most the second duel. but the lead guy doesn't kill kietel's character even though he knows he's gonna keep coming back until he kills him.after the 2nd and 3rd and 4th duel I was like what the actual fuck is this stupid shit
>>521034112Prometheus was the worse movie I’ve ever seen. Innumerable plot holes. Improbable and unbelievable characters and situations. Impossible to get immersed because there was so little rhyme or reason to happening. Random race mixing propaganda thrown in.I’ve never watched any of Ridley’s garbage since
>>521036646the original script was meant to have way more depth but the jews made him cut 90% of it to streamline it for mainstream audiences
>>521036417>I think Cameron just knows what his movies are for. They're guided emotional experiences, so the audience needs to empathize with the main characers totally and hate the absolute fuck out of the villain so they experience maximum catharsis when the good guys win and the bad guys lose. (and memorable endings happen when you mix two strong emotions at the same time)>He's really really good at creating those emotions in audiences, maybe the best to ever do it.Marvel up to Endgame utterly perfected this As far as that sort of cynically formulaic good / evil thing for manchildren goes, that run will never be topped
listen to the Blade Runner director's commentary and you'll realise his past classics (all 2-ish) were most likely flukes
>>521036092Cameron isn’t making the statements Ridley makes. Cameron doesn’t positive himself as a very introspective filmmaker opposed to the “mediocrity” of cinema
>>521036646they fucked up too by having that charisma vacuum chick be the lead. Ripley was awesome but that Swedish chick or whatever was absolutely awful and doesn't have the screen presence to carry a movie
>>521037142neither did Not Tom Hardy
>>521037142it also didn't help that she was ugly as fuck. if she was hot and sucked at least we would have something nice to look at
>>521035981The movie is based on a book by Joseph Conrad which was based on a newspaper article about two similar such officers. He didn’t want to kill a fellow French soldier because he saw it as murder, one officer absolutely hated dueling and the other loved it, but honor and so on
>>521037223oh yeah I forgot about him. bad casting choices for sure
>>521037274ah, so that's why the original title was Duelpocalypse Now
>>521037312Upgrade was supposed to be good though. Never saw it
>>521037274>He didn’t want to kill a fellow French soldier because he saw it as murderthat's just stupid when the other guy fully intends on murdering you. it ruined the movie for me and it kept happening over and over
>>521037345I've seen it. it's slop. 'hardcore Henry' or 'shoot em up' tier slop. money laundering slop
>>521034661Great smuggie
>>521037452The story is compelling because both men are insane just in opposite ways l. One is a bloodthirsty lunatic whi is still trying to someone to avenger his honor decades later, the other is a man extreme principle of loyalty to his country, to the point he actually saves his opponent’s life in getting him off the list; he sacrificed everything for his honor. Both men do. The thesis is that extreme honor culture is a form of insanity. And keep in mind this case was fantasy. The details might be but there was an actual case of an officer stalking another and fighting duels for decades while the other refused to kill him
>>521034112Ridley has about 2 great movies,2 good movies,5 mediocre movies,and 15 total dogshit movies
>>521037675Hardcore Henry was too unique to be slop
>>521037037>As far as that sort of cynically formulaic good / evil thing for manchildren goes, that run will never be toppedWild to think what could've been if Waititi hadn't killed off Hera in that Thor movie, leaving Thanos' original motivation intact and thus sensible>has a crush on the goddess of Death>decides to prove himself worthy by giving her the gift of killing half the living things in the universeI think I respect Cameron more because he's so good he can get you cheering for protags who are objectively awful people doing shitty things. Like Rose from Titanic is just a horrible human being from her first scene to the last but we cheer her and hate Cal, who doesn't even raise his voice to her until after she repeatedly humiliates him by carrying on an affair with a homeless bum in full view of all of his peers lol
>>521037314Conrad is one of my favorites
>>521035559Came here to say this, I love it.
>>521035559This.
>>521037953No, I much prefer what they did was Thanos It was actually jarring how compelling he was in Infinity War
>>521037743oh yeah I forgot the part where he could have had him put in jail but let's him go free to keep trying to kill him. It's the most frustratingly stupid movie I've watched all the way through in possibly ever
Gladiator
>>521037841the story was sloppy but okay I give you the gimmicky unique camera view thing
>>521034112never
>>521035415a fuckig what?are those more warms inside of it?
>>521034749gladiator is for whites, it's about loyalty and honor and being fine dying but only after achieving your goal. brown people don't even have actual concepts of this shit, that movie was elite
>>521037743And let's be real, in the case that inspired it, where the two men are said to have fought several more times than the film depicts, it's actually pretty obvious that the two had no intention of killing one another and both enjoyed what ultimately became sparring matches, though it makes for a great story, the truth is far more mundane.And the film kind of hints at it but can't be explicit about it since it would remove all stakes, whomever kills the other, duel or not, will be in trouble for murdering a fellow officer.
>>521038254Are you genuinely retarded or just a zoomer? ...Of zoomer female?
>>521038152>No, I much prefer what they did was Thanos>I'm going to kill half the living things in the universe because, uh, balancewutHe was compelling in the comics, too. Desperately in love with a goddess and thus desperate to prove himself to be on her level
>>521037452Yes, sometimes people in real life behave in stupid ways too. That’s what makes them interesting.You might say YOU would have killed that guy, but not everyone would. The decision someone makes in that situation says something about who they are.If you can’t enjoy a movie when characters behave irrationally, then I’m sorry to tell you but you’re just getting filtered
>>521034112THis twat couldn't be assed to remember the canon of Alien when he made alien covenant
>>521038738Thanos was just a slightly buffer Pentti Linkola
>>521036646you can thank (((Damon Lindelof))) of Lost fame for that.the movie was already scripted & he was called in to polish it
>>521038676I just couldn't relate to the lead guy. I understood Harvey kietel's motivation but the lead guy was just infuriating.>it's about honour fuck no it isn't. not when a psychopath is tryna kill you it isn't. the honourable thing would be to kill the psycho before he kills you, or have him put in prison. both of which the lead guy has the oppertunity to achieve. it's just fucking retarded
>>521034112Gladiator 2 was good IMHO. But it should have split into two movies, sadly.
>>521038870If the character is stupid and they behave stupidly thats fine.if a character isn't stupid but does something stupid that's fine too.but when a character isn't stupid and makes half a dozen stupid life or death decisions in one movie then the movie is fucking stupid
>>521038254>It's the most frustratingly stupid movie I've watched all the way through in possibly everThat's the point, you retard - it's about a culture that destroys both of them, or rather their total if oppositely applied Biblical levels of self-destructive pride.We live in an age motivated primarily by greed and lust, but up until pretty recently the prime motivating sin of society was pride. There are tombstones all over the Western world with something like "Here lies Bob, called Tom a liar. RIP" It was just understood by everyone that if you insulted a man's pride, somebody had to die for it. The two officers in the movie are extreme examples of it, but duelling had to be banned by law
>>521038937>>521036646I think it will be forever hilarious that the Lost guys got this reputation as genius writers crafting endless Swiss clocks of scripts with wheels within wheelsAnd then it turned out they were just creating mysteries with no idea as to how they would be solved, then lurking fan forums and stealing the smartest and most convoluted explanationsUnfortunately by the time everyone realized this, they had already been put in charge of multiple franchises and ruined them
>>521039227>the movie is stupid>That's the pointthen we agree, the movie is stupid. if you like watching stupid movies then fine. I don't like watching stupid movies but you don't think that's fine
>>521034112Never. Blade Runner is great but the director's cut is trash (the producers had to make a movie from his hallucinations kek) and Alien is the original "corporations bad gaberment to the rescue" leftard slop. And it only got worse afterwards kek.
>>521039159Part of the tragedy of being human is that for all our strengths, we are each saddled with our own personal weaknesses and flaws. These continuously hold us back and can become quite destructive even in people with astounding talent or brains. Often we can see the flaws that are crippling others, but are blind to our own weaknesses.If you think a smart man continually making dumb choices could only happen in bad fiction, then maybe you just haven’t met enough people. The trope of the single fatal flaw in literature exists for a reason anon
>>521034432It was pro-china propaganda.His last good movie was The Last Duel.
>>521039402The movie is not stupid, you are.The movie is an examination of the destructive consequences of pride in a time when society worked under different rules.>but the society I'm in isn't like that!!!Imagine if they were samurai in the Edo period if it helps.
>>521034314>that movie about the knights fighting each other was good. and while he's declined in some areas, his visual style is still S-tier. all of his movies look great from a visual standpoint.bruh, it looked like a PS1 cinematic. https://youtu.be/R6vk9A7Ymf8mullet matt damon was a nice touch though lol
>>521039537>>521039573digital color grading was a mistake
>>521039487>smart man continually making dumb choicesthe exact same dumb choice in this case. and one that could easily be solved half a dozen times throughout the movie. this is also why I don't like most movies. most movies would be resolved and over in 5 minutes if it was real life. but the script has to throw in some retarded shit in order to keep the movie going
>>521034112Probably Gladiator in 2000. He's produce an awful lot of shit, and he's ruined some classics along the way
>>521039547>The movie is an examination of the destructive consequences of pride in a time when society worked under different rules.no it isn't some pretentious bullshit. it's a fucking newspaper article stretched out over a full length movie and they had to make the lead guy retarded even though he isn't portrayed as retarded so the movie wouldn't be over in 5 minutes
>>521034112The Duelists, Alien, and Blade Runner. Gladiator. I don't know. Was Troy by him?
>>521039693This. Gladiator and Alien are the only Ridley Scott movies I like. I thought Blade Runner was boring imo.
>>521039683If the reason is contrived then I'm right there with you.If the reason is because of a flawed character making a mistake then that's fine so long as the character remains consistent. The movie would never be made if it it was about you, obviously - you'd have solved the problem immediately. Doubtless your movie would be about something different, something which I would solve immediately.
>>521039683>>521039769>dumb>retardedAgain, the dumb retarded person is you.
>>521039827Blade Runner 2049 is legitimately a better movie
>>521036646>Prometheus was the worse movie I’ve ever seen.>Innumerable plot holes.The original script was gutted as the film would've ended up 6+ hrs long. The preproduction scripts have been leaks and people have gone over them on YouTube, they're well worth watching.
>>521039871>a flawed character making a mistake then that's fine so long as the character remains consistent.exactly. that's my biggest issue. he isn't consistent. he's smart so the smart thing to do would be to end the other guys revenge boner. if they'd portrayed his as dumb then I would have enjoyed the movie probably
>>521039876>ad homsthat's the same as admitting defeat. gg anon
>>521038738I'm glad they didn't go with Thanos the Turbosimp.That would have ruined the character. Him doing it purely because it was his will to do it and he believed in what he was doing is 1000x more compelling than turbosimping for the grimreaper.That shit is gay
>>521040033I just don't think being smart precludes someone from having fatal blind spots in their reasoning. If you had 200 IQ but were born and raised by al-Qaeda to believe that the highest form of success is to blow yourself up and go to paradise, then there's a pretty solid chance you are going to end up blowing yourself up in the name of jihad, despite your intelligence
>>521039939Yeah, it just needed an extra scene or two explaining things better than it could have. But a way better movie. But I still prefer most of Ridley Scott's movies whereas I don't like any of Denis Villuenerereverve whatever his name his movies except for 2049 and bits and pieces of Dune.
>>521040084Pointing out you're dumb because you don't get the basic idea of a Greek tragedy is not an ad hom>that movie was so stupid lol, it had this guy with this huge flaw and the flaw kept him making bad decisions that destroyed him>at one part it looked like everything was going to go his way and he was going to get everything he wanted if he could just overcome that flaw, but he didn't, and so it destroyed him>he was so dumb he should've just not done the flawed thing
>>521039939nah he fucked up the concept of replicants. If they are just GM humans, then why would it come as a surprise to anyone that they could reproduce? The first bladerunner was kindof ambiguous as to what they were and how they were made.
>>521040311the thing is it's a movie based on real people supposedly. sure they were probably French and friends and soldiers and had a bunch of duels. but everything else is made up. it's the made up shit that's retarded. probably the real reason he didn't kill kietel irl is because kietel surrendered when he knew he was losing and that would be murder to kill a surrendering dueller. but they couldn't make kietel's character surrender because that would have made his character cowardly and not brave. the whole prison thing was also most likely made up and that's the most retarded part.irl the main guy would have locked him up for sure and also killed him in a duel. the movie wouldn't have been greenlit if they'd stuck to the real events (that probably aren't even documented fully) because it would have been boring.so o can see why they did that shit but that doesn't make it not retarded
>>521040494I liked Prisoners a lot
>>521040311>If you had 200 IQ but were born and raised by al-Qaeda to believe that the highest form of success is to blow yourself up and go to paradiseOr any of the examples we see every week: Titans getting their lives ruined because they don't get prenups, guys who can't turn down a dare, guys who ruin their stable successful lives over some pussyPeople had their own kids permanently surgically mutilated in the trans fad, hell I read about two university profs who kept their daughter in a 90% black school to own the chuds, and ended up with a drug addicted 14-year-old single mom. They destroyed their own daughter's life so they could feel politically virtuous
This year, probably.Gladi 2 was good.Blade Runner 2049 was good.Blade Runner 2099 is out soon.
>>521040524>ad homs are not ad homs
>>521034705I liked that one too.
>>521040692>Gladi 2 was good.
>>521040657Gyllenhals detective character was interesting.
>>521040692This post is bait.
>>521040629>kietel surrendered when he knew he was losing and that would be murder to kill a surrendering dueller.You can't surrender in an old-school duel. There is no surrender condition, both of you are there because an affront to honor happened and someone has to die. It was an incredible incredible rarity for a duelist to deliberately decamp and spare his opponent, which would be an almost intolerable humiliation for that opponent and he'd likely kill himself. That's honor culture and it's how our culture functioned from the middle ages at least until about 150 years ago. You impugned the honor of another man, you two were going to meet and one of you is coming back. Go hike around old cemeteries in the UK or USA, you'll see a fair number of variations of "Called Tom A Liar, RIP"It's retarded because the culture is retarded from our perspective, but they are behaving like extreme but not unrealistic examples of honorable army officersArmy officer 1: I have to kill the man who humilaited me. I'd rather die than wear that humilation for all to seeArmy officer 2: Killing a fellow officer, or failing to save his life when I can, would be treason to my uniform
>>521040311>If you had 200 IQ but were born and raised by al-Qaeda to believe that the highest form of success is to blow yourself up and go to paradise, then there's a pretty solid chance you are going to end up blowing yourself up in the name of jihadno. it's not the 200iq fellas that get talked into strapping bomb vests. the imams that talk them into blowing themselves up would certainly not blow themselves up
>>521040681There is a damn good reason we speak of intelligence and wisdom as separate concepts
>>521040925then how the fuck did they duel like 5 times in the movie if it's a duel to the death?. probably some retarded made up reasons
>>521040971Word
>>521034112The Duelists. Everything after that sucked.
>>521040925fucking retard. duels ended when first blood was shed>Fencing duels were not typically fought to the death; they were often conducted to restore honor or demonstrate skill, with the aim of drawing blood rather than killing the opponent. this makes the movie even more retarded because there's not really high stakes. all you'll end up with is a scar if you lose
>>521041012Well they are French, a bunch of pussies
>>521041131and fencing swords bend instead of stab the opponant. they probably used sabres or some shit in the retarded movie to make the stakes high. actual fencing duels weren't life or death
>>521034112Ridley Scott NEVER made a good film.1 - Aliens - Propaganda about space to hide the FLAT EARTH!2 - Blade Runner - Aryan Rutger Hauer begs Jew Harrison Ford: "I just want to live!" The entire scene is a symbolic mockery of the White Adamic Race of God begging the Spawn of Satan Canaanite-Edomite Jews just to exist!3 - Gladiator - "to give power back to the people as a republic," a Jewish codeword! Lucretia was a false flag to justify a fake revolution to end the Roman Monarchy, followed by a republic where money lenders enslaved and literally tortured the plebeians.4 - Kingdom of Heaven - Jerusalem shown as a flat desert when it was hilly and green. Peasant gets a 5 min sword lesson, then defeats waves of knights, doesn't use a helmet, then gives speech about tolerance, equality, new age gnostic BS, and sharing Jerusalem!5 - Napoleon - invasion of Russia is met by what look like Polynesian niggerish hippies, classic Masonic-Jew propaganda to hide Aryan Tartaria and redefine Rus with Asiatics.
>>521034112Black Hawk Down?
>>521034112I was pleasantly surprised with The Last Duel. I always liked Rashomon plot lines.
>>521034454Aliens sucked ass. James Cameron is a hack. Alien was good though, because Scott can make a movie.
>>521041274>actual fencing duels weren't life or deathA real epee doesn't have that big round bit on the end. It puts a hole in you and antibiotics aren't invented yet
>>521041557the movie is retarded. just like most movies
>>521034112Raised by Wolves was quite good. Even though he's a kike slave, he's old-fashioned enough to hide it.
>>521034112Most movies are shit because they are all PC garbage and blacks are infested in every movie now. Hollywood is dead, but since AI is becoming a thing, it won't be long before the average person starts uploading their own script and into some film online.
curious that 4chan doesnt seem to know about taboo, which was directed by ridley scott and looked great, also starring mr hardy. seems beside reddit very few know that show
>>521042453>it won't be long before the average person starts uploading their own script and into some film online.I hope this becomes a thing because I have an amazing outline for a movie. if the ai could write the script and create the video without fucking it up I'd have a box office smash on my hands
>>521041314>5 - Napoleon - invasion of Russia is met by what look like Polynesian niggerish hippies, classic Masonic-Jew propaganda to hide Aryan Tartaria and redefine Rus with Asiatics.
>>521042873I saw it but found it a bit boring
>>521043218This already exists in the form of AI chat bots, where many men and women of all ages now have "significant other" bots. It's a new and much more insidious evil. Making it audiovisual will be a kind of "singularity event" for a lot of people.
>>521043218Based on your comments in this thread I don't think you understand subtext or themes, or in fact anything beyond the most surface level events of the plot. It's not surprising that you need AI to write your script for you because all you could possibly produce would be slop.
>>521043255its british even. maybe some wouldnt like it because its history-based. but for people who are interested in history it may be great, especially americans, since it is heavily about american independence from the british crown.
>>521043350>It's not surprising that you need AI to write your script for you because all you could possibly produce would be slop.no it's because I can't be bothered. I have good ideas I just don't have the drive. if a.i did all the work and all 8 had to do was come up with the ideas then I'd be set.people who create ideas for movies don't make the movie. they sell the idea then it get written by a script writer then passed to the storyboard editors long before it gets cast
>>521043479>people who create ideas for movies don't make the movie. they sell the idea then it get written by a script writer then passed to the storyboard editors long before it gets castThis is just not true. lol
>>521043524sure it is. sometimes more script writers even come in and rewrite the script completely. also scripts need multiple drafts. of they only needed 1 draft I'd consider it but it can take months to write and rewrite a script. fuck that shit. also I'm not a scriptwriter so it'd take me even longer
>>521043350>I don't think you understand subtext or themesmy awesome movie idea isn't some pretentious arthouse slop. it's an in your face awesome movie that says exactly what it means
>>521034314it was pozzed as hell. it could have been an incredible story but social engineer jews cant help but shoe horn in their philosophy into it and its actually a great case study of how neurotic these people are.>erm this movie is a criticism of chivalry>yeah so the husband doesnt respect his wifes feelings>he tries to do the right thing but only because of chivalry>like hes very self righteous always trying to seek justice but totally for the wrong reasons...>his wife was like raped because of toxic masculinity and he was insensitive about it>the husband did everything to get justice for his wife but it was totally for the wrong reasons, the wife is the good person here>the husband only did the right thing because of chivalry>therefore chivalry is, le bad! and we need to educate men on doing the right things for the right reasons...
>>521043746the problem is that gore and incest and paedophilia and other such taboos are integral to the plot and I don't think the ai that we get access too will be able to make such a movie
>>521043746You should see The Player, 1992. You're unconsciously echoing its chief irony.
>>521043746Even in your face awesome movies have subtext anon
>>521043863I've seen it. don't consciously remember it though. except the opening long take.>>521043865there is subtext kinda. it's fiction but really it's not
>>521034112>When was the last time Ridley Scott made a good movie?Blade Runner (1982)The rest of his movies are just standard Hollywood entertainment slop, ie NOT art
>>521043612>I'm not a scriptwritereven though im not a scriptwriter I'm confident I could write a better script than most of the movies that get made. my problem is that even if I write an awesome script then what do I do with it? get an (((agent)))? i wouldnt trust anyone with my script and id wanna make the movie myself somehow. ive thought of doing it as an animation before but it's a full length movie and would be an insane amount of work for even an experienced animator, which I'm not. ive thought about writing it as a book but I'm not a writer either
>>521043829>“useful in showing what characterizes artificial social orders. Start with the idea that society is contrary to Nature; devise contrivances to which humanity can be subjected; lose sight of the fact that humanity has its motive force within itself; consider men as base raw materials; propose to impart to them movement and will, feeling, and life; set oneself up apart, immeasurably above the human race – these are the common practice of the social planners. The plans differ; the planners are all alike”- Frédéric BastiatBastiat is credited with saying "The plans differ; the planners are all alike" but the full context is very hard to find on the internet and people seem misinformed and think it means something entirely different than what he was talking about. Social planners dehumanize people and their viewpoint/philosophy is clearly contaminating movies now which is natural given how commie hollywood is.
>>521039011That's why you're retarded, you lack theory of mind, and you don't understand the subtleties of D'Hubert's dilemma in the period it's set in, simultaneously duelling is not looked kindly on by the top brass and he could be strung up for murder where he to do as you suggest but not duelling will be perceived as cowardice by your peers, bitching about how he was a psycho trying to kill you wouldn't have flown either way.
>>521035358yep. So for almost 25 years Ridley Scott has sucked ass.
>>521044401I understand what theyre tryna do but it's logically retarded
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Mq59ykPnAEIn 1973 he directed a legendary bread advert that had music from the 2nd movement of Dvorak's 9th symphony. I'd be stunned if any big budget directors nowadays had listened to a single symphony in their entire lives.
>>521034112I recently watched Gladiator II. Not that I expected historical accuracy, but that shit was crazy. The movie starts off with a roman fleet attacking a Numidian city head on like it was D-Day. The Numidians fired firebombs with fucking trebuchets at the fleet. holy shit. Don't get me even started with the multi ethnic casting. Black Africans sitting in the Roman Senate. It's nothing but a shit show.
>>521034112Tbf, I love RS. Alien (70s), Blade Runner (80s), and Gladiator (00s). That's a pretty good return. The only JC film I'd consider great is The Terminator (84).
>>521044918Yeah those three are all god tier. Gladiator is fucking amazing.
>>521034112oh he's a leftist idiotAnti-Trump, anti-Brexit, votes LABOR.from what i hear these are OK movies:American Gangster (2007), The Martian (2015), House of Gucci (2021)The rest of his new movies are garbage
>>5210449183 hits out of 150... pretty good return btw
>>521040692he did not direct Blade Runner 2049, it was Denis VilleneuveAlso, must be bait
>>521035175If Prometheus is your worst then you're a phenomenal director given it was still memorable, just messy
>>521035559>The Duellistsokmy list:1977 The Duellists1979 Alien 1982 Blade Runner1991 Thelma & Louise2000 Gladiator2001 Black Hawk Down2005 Kingdom of heaven
>>521034112Legend was sooo fucking goodhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qljhhMoxsz8
>>521045361Those three are all-time great. Most directors never even have one. Look at movies today. Wall to wall trash. There's a lot of good underneath that great as well. So, the return is good.
>>521039939Jared Leto ruins it.
