Arthouse and classics.Virus edition>Question of the DayWhat do you feel is the greatest decade for Japanese cinema, and WHY?Prev: >>206036508
>>20605098360s.Because.
>>206050983what should I watch next
>>206051119Dolls
>>206051119Seconding Dolls
>>206050983>>206051113tojiro mifune and Tatsuya Nakadai dominated the 60's, I have hard time finding movies that match their level
>>206050983>>Question of the DayKino, absolute kino>What do you feel is the greatest decade for Japanese cinema, and WHY?It HAS to be the 1950s or 1960s. Kurosawa, Ozu, Kobayashi all at their peaks. If you could pick any ten years I'd say 1952-1962. Ikiru thru Yojimbo, Harakiri, Tokyo Story (which is good despite what anons say) and that other Ozu film
>>206051154>>206051171dolls it is, I will watch dolls.
>>206051284has to go to 1966, because you cant leave out sword of doom
>>206051264>atsuya Nakadaigive me some recs
>>206050983>What do you feel is the greatest decade for Japanese cinema, and WHY?'50s. Throne of Blood is the single greatest work to come out of Japan, and it's one of the best films to have ever graced humanity
So, for podcast anons, we should start deliberating about the way it's gonna be made:>How long it should be?>Which way should we contact each other>Which themes should be talked about>>206050983I've little knowledge of japanese kino; older decades seem to be higher quality, but I've personally enjoyed the 90s and 00s more than older decades, with the exception of Kurosawa-sama's work
>>206051644it was mid, the bitch was too ugly to look at for that long and it turned me off from the movie, I didn't even finish it
>>206051695Forgot the WHY>Because of the aesthetics of 90s films such as Cure, Ringu, Audition, etc., and the same for early 00s films like Suicide Club, Pulse...It's a dark aesthetic consumed by the sorrow of modern japanese lifestyles, very kino
>>206051695>How long it should be?17 minutes>Which way should we contact each other?proton mail Which themes should be talked about?we should talk about one movie that was agreed upon beforehand and give it a rating out of 5 stars>what should we drink?A lot
>>206051772I have never seen any modern Japanese dark kino but it sounds right up my alley. What should I start with
>>206051864Cure has been a longstanding /film/ favorite.
>>206051731if your reasoning for disliking a movie is that the woman isn't hot, youre retarded, simple as
>>206051929it's not that she is not hot, its that she is repulsive and difficult to look at because of the creepy makeup, but yeah I am being difficult
>>206050983>What do you feel is the greatest decade for Japanese cinema1950s.>and WHY?Mizoguchi.
>>206052000>Mizoguchiwhat's thje best mizoguchi to start with?
>>206052100Start in the 1930s, Osaka Elegy and Sisters of Gion (this one is brutal).
filter all asian posters filter all asian films
>>206051078Maybe do something about it instead of just bitching about waifufags?
I have never seen a german movie
>>206051829>what should we drink?>A lotBased
Can someone explain why Virus is so highly regarded?
>>206052225I have a feeling those will be boring. What's his best movie
>>206052659Your feeling is wrong.
>trust me lil bro movies from the 1930s won't be boring
>>206052941You don't belong here.
>>206052659Late Mizoguchi isn't any more exciting than early Mizoguchi. He always stuck to his signature style.
>>206052659>>206053163I felt Street of Shame was meh, but The Crucified Lovers was quite enjoyable. He's pretty sober as a filmmaker, no big hooks anywhere desu.
Also need a segment of /film/podcast roasting posters with shit taste, like ChewyKablooey and anon who thinks 1930s is boring
>>206053872I'd prefer a "2 hot takes segment" where anons send their secret hot takes / guilty pleasures and we "evaluate them"
Or a cringe segment, where we talk about how cringe the things people say on this general are, like "let's make a podcast"
>>206051119Tange Sazen and the pot worth a million ryo>>206052344watch some Murnau joints lil bro
lil bros aint recordin even one episode
>>206054128Gonna be stupid if it’s just “hot take- I like Michael Mann” or “hot take- all Godard and Bergman is shit” bullshit. It needs to actually be on topic and somewhat legitimate if it’s going to be good/interesting.
>>206054482/film/ reviews jav the podcast
>>206054482Yeah, on-topic hot takes are cool with me.
>>206054576>Hot take: JAVs ain't it. Regular western porn mogs. Don't @ me.

is the princess bride any good?
>>206054926it's a classic, women love it, worth watching
I'm so good at what I do that I cannot stop.
>/tv/ supports mp4 now>mfw still no sound
>>206054926no it doesn't take a hard anti monarchy stance
>>206054291>>206054469This
>>206054926Sloppily constructed and so illogical that it must surely be a joke, even though it lacks wit. Half-spoofing the fairy-tale genre, The Princess Bride is full of trite showbizzy anachronisms that don’t require innocent audience belief but inspire snark. The film isn’t harmless just because its fairy tale avoids relevant moral challenge; it falsifies life’s challenges. What’s unacceptable about this threadbare fantasy is its contemporary irrelevance. Reiner and Goldman betray the instructional tradition that fables and legends pass on. Instead, there’s a coincidental giveaway — a political warning when Elwes explains his black-mask disguise: “I think they’re terribly comfortable. I think everyone will be wearing them in the future.” It fits liberal Hollywood’s support of Covid obedience masks all too well.
>>206055366Armond is that you?
>>206055321Imagine not being able to reconstruct the sound based on your memories of the movie. Lmao, the absolute state.
>>206055466imagine remembering such a cringey piece of trash flick. lol, lmao even.
>>206055559I agree, but still, a true film/tard/ should remember everything that he has ever seen or heard. His brain is the camera.
>>206055466What if you haven’t seen whatever movie in question?>>206055708>His brain is the camera.Unless you’re shitfaced.
is it wrong to use chatgpt to write my letterboxd reviews?
>>206056025sounds fake and gay
>>206056025whats even the point then lil bro
>>206056025What are you even trying to do man? That sounds absolutely pointless.
>>206056075>>206056172I feed it what I actually thought about the movie, it just writes it up all nice and whatnot
>>206056025No. I actually have ChatGPT watch films for me and then write the review.
>>206056001>What if you haven’t seen whatever movie in question?Then you larp.>Unless you’re shitfaced.A real film/tard/ is able to remember every detail even when being under the effects of substances.
>>206056025Not wrong, just boring and unoriginal. It's already evident that whatever ChatGPT writes is always shit, so why even bother.

>>206055708>a true film/tard/ should remember everything that he has ever seen or heard.ur braindead. if this was even possible there would be no point to rewatching films
>>206057181Indeed, there is no point.
Wanted to make sure everyone knows: cinema only matters if it’s being projected in imax 3D or an art gallery wall. None of your farthouse berlinale memes are even worth consideration, and will be rightfully forgotten in 50 years. You can all pretend hou hsiao hsien or Nicolas winding refn matter, but that’s simply not true. You engage with pure midwit trash. It’s Michael Bay or Matthew Barney for me, a film enthusiast.
>>206050983>What do you feel is the greatest decade for Japanese cinema, and WHY?50s to the 90s, inclusive. Because they were absolutely on fire that entire time. >>206051119Hana-bi (Fireworks). or Rashomon.>>206052476Never seen it but probably because the director is fairly well known, and because it has western actors in it.>>206052659Film isn't for you.

Is it /film/?
>>206059529What a weird ass premise. Still kind of interesting and touching, I guess.
>>206055344Then it's great.
>>206059529my dream
>>206059330Back up your opinion. Carradine is horrible in it, bordering on laughable at multiple points. The doctor character is straight out of a Batman comic book. The ending is shit. The narration ranges from extraneous to bad. The whole thing dips into melodrama frequently. Horrible movie, one of Bergman's worst that I've seen
>>206058338Your loss.
>>206051864Gozu, Cure, Ichi the Killer, Rubber’s Lover, Tokyo Fist, Suicide Club
>>206060042>RUbber's loverNTA but had Fukui works on my watchlist for at least 5 years
>>206059943OP here, the dark atmosphere carries the film, CarraGOD is okay. I'll give you that the doctor is a crappy character and the ending is pretty weird.>The whole thing dips into melodrama frequentlyFake, but even if it were so, the fucking nazis were cucking their asses... Idk, seems pretty dramatic to me.
Finally getting settled in to the new place. Time for some proper kino!
>>206060327Cat People?
>>206059943wrong
>>206060663This, pretty much.
>>206060590Yep lol

She kinda has a kino filmography doesn't she
Just got back from the douche house, what am I in for?
>>206059943>Back up your opinionEh, maybe later. Until then, you’re filtered
>>206062104great shots and a good plotalso a lot of /fa/ fits
>>206060327Surround sound?
>>206062165hype, I think the /fa/ fits are the only reason I am obsessed with hardboiled and other gunfu
You know its going to be kino when this nigga shows up
>>206061871oogly bitch
>>206050983>What do you feel is the greatest decade for Japanese cinema, and WHY?Considering they haven't had a SINGLE good film since the Showa era decades, I think I'm gonna go with the 1960s.
>>206062276Doubt looks like a basic ass sound bad, prolly sounds like a yellow cat being funneled through the engine of a Ford F250 6.7 Power stroke Kin Ranch
>>206062276Not yet, my kino setup is sized for my old appartment. Now that I have a proper living room, the plan is to get a nice 4K TV and a good stereo system. Hopefully I'll have my hands on the new Paris Texas 4K by then so I can make that the first thing I watch on it.
>>206062315Dark city is my favorite of his and it is also /film/ because it clearly is a remake of Godard’s Alphaville if you think about it. >aliens who can’t understand emotions must track down the one man who can stop them
>>206062282I want that one light brown sweater that's worn during most of the film.
Is there a good Bergman under 90 minutes? I feel like soaking up some of his more cerebral stuff but I have a strict night of films ahead and don't have time for one of the epics
>>206062104You're in for a YTS rip.No, but in all seriousness: super interesting film, super cool villain. Amazing aesthetics and symbolism. Also have to mention that the movie is a critique of japanese conformism.
>>206056025There's no point, read books and everything you can, it will become easier for you to write reviews once you have more influence
>>206062613Most of his kino I've watched is under 90 minutes, I even think Persona was like that.
>>206062613Most of his films are around the 90 minute mark.
This question of the day business will elevate /film/ to even higher levels of gatekeeping than before. Now you must PROVE that you know before being taken seriously.
>>206062780Im screwed if the question is about godard or some french director, I have barely scratched the surface of french cinema
>>206062780Suck my farts
>>20605098350s because that's when all the Japanese directors I would consider masters were at the height of their power
>>206062315Doesn't look that black.
>>206063063Bizarre fetish, not into it.>>206062978You have until next thread to master french cinema, if you don't get your shit straight until then... you're out, kid.
>>206062780>>206062978You guys worry too much about this, it's not high school, we're all at the same table here.

>>206060663wow very convincing retard
>>206062162thats what i thought bitch
>>206062508>stereolmao. Well honestly the majority of films I watch are either mono or stereo, so fuck it I guess.
>>206062780gatekeeping? calling people "filtered" while being incapable of formulating a coherent thought in your head on a movie is not gatekeeping. you have to know what you're talking about.
>>206062780Chewy in shambles crying himself to sleep over the thought
>>206063556if I had to guess, I imagine what he meant by that is a sound system comprised of an AVR, surround sound speakers, and a subwoofer
>>206063561Sorry bro, gate is locked and you ain’t getting in. Stop being filtered so much and watch more films, kiddo.
>>206063679im imaging a suicidal, alcoholic wagie behind the computer typing this, the type that signals that he's into movies but all the while can't say a single interesting thing about any movie. prove me wrong ;)
>>206063366It's not over until i say it's over.
>>206063777The definition of projecting
>>206063924that's what i thought ;)
I dont actually like watching movies that much. I just like getting recommendations and downloading them.
>>206064156Watch more movies
>>206063556>>206063628I really don't know what I want/need yet, because it's going to have to pull double duty with the TV and music. I know thats not ideal and there's going to be compromises but I'm listening to music on a little Dewalt jobsite speaker on top of my fridge right now so anything would probably be an upgrade lol.

>>206063943
>>206064156Based
>>206064156I genuinely believe there's people who are like this unironically.
>>206064332Any old AV receiver will be able to handle audio/video for any TV, game system, BluRay/CD player. Some have bluetooth but you can easily add that on just with another little device. You attach your speakers to the AVR to play sound for everything. If you're relatively tech-savvy it's not too hard to figure it all out, but put in work and at least attempt to do it properly. The alternative is paying some contractor hack or AV guys like ten grand for $4k worth of parts
>>206062766any you'd specifically recommend? preferably something off the beaten track, i've seen most of the essentials
>>206064355prove me wrong any time ;)
>>206064498>Any old AV receiver will be able to handle audio/video for any TV, game system, BluRay/CD playerAbsolutely incorrect, depending on how old it is it might not be able to handle 4K/1080p video signals
>>206064156We're not the same
>>206063601lol>>206063880It's completely and utterly over.
>>206064937>Slash Film/film/'s influence is colossal.
>>206064339>wagie
>>206064841You'd have to pick up a 20 year old receiver for it not to be able to handle 1080p. 4k is a meme that requires so much stronger hardware and such a greater bitrate to actually benefit from that it's extremely situational and expensive
>>206064498>>206064841Thank you for the advice. How new would a receiver need to be to not have any issues with 4K?
>>2060651944chan's audience is getting pretty old, there's no way people are NEETs into their late 20s or during their 30s
>>206065442If you only knew...

Watched Cross of Iron. It was a good watch. First Peckinpah film, gonna try The Wild Bunch next.The visuals and set pieces were amazing. One shot for a couple seconds of a dead German face down in a pond bleeding will stick with me for a bit I bet, and there are a lot of memorable shots and scenes like that. Seeing all that old hardware in action, from MP40s and MG42s to T-34-85s was great, and it's all used really well.The movie doesn't stray into anti-war melodrama like most modern war movies do, so that's a nice change of pace. It's done with nuance, from a sort of commoner/enlisted experience, against an aristocratic/officer experience. The most powerful scene in the movie is where Steiner is at the hospital and a general shows up. It has that 1970s jank but if you cut it some slack and fill in the blanks it's amazing.More hit and miss are the performances. It's a war movie and the actors still have that 50s/60s approach that comes off sorta flat or unrealistic in parts. This sort of bleeds into the plot too. Steiner and his boys come across a unit of Russian women combatants, and apparently don't kill them all after they murder one of Steiner's men. In a movie that otherwise portrays violence and war relatively realistically, this is extremely out of place. The ending too, while fitting, was executed sort of poorly imoWatch it for the hot Russian girl in the bathtub too

>>206074690>DOOD THE STUFF WE'RE DOING IN VIETNAM IS JUST LIKE TEH NAZIS, DOODPeople only like Peckinpah because he was a mean drunk which was an alluring image to gen x Weinstein disciples who would try their hardest to kill cinema as an artform.
>>206074690also I can tell you're a retarded mook because of how you derisively you use the term melodrama. god forbid cinema, flattened opera, feature any sort of operatics.
sup anons, I'm the Ozu, Mizo, Kuro, Koba challenge guyWhere to get my rips from? shall I just go criterion for the most famous ones? I'd rather have a good experience with the less altering of the films, specially kurosawa coloured ones. So yeah that's it, I'm not sure on going YTS for them and my nigga sulagyn62 torrents have no seed
>>206076690I don't really detect much of a connection to Vietnam, except obviously by similarity in subject matter. Never heard of any notable incidents of American officers sending their boys to die out of a lust for recognition or distinction, or out of any aristocratic mindset. The rest of your critique is just you seething about Peckinpah for some reason so I'm just gonna ignore it, there's no substance to respond to
How would you describe Carax' style of cinema?
>>206077339Ultra-Caraxesque. French.
I thought she was oddly attractiveProbably the most attractive woman I've ever seen in any Japanese film
