Sarah Gadon is in New York today.Thoughts /film/?
>>214535099Based but also Not based
>>214535550Why are you obsessed with her and why are devoting so much time and effort to discussing her? Not trying to be rude, just genuinely curious anon.
>>214535099>i hate italians, their language and customsElaborate on that.
>>214535872In other words; he'd rather watch Japanese nufilms and KDramas.
>>214535684Everyone is obsessed with her. Sarah Gadon is the most beautiful and talented actress.
>>214536154Freak status?
Sarah Gadon is obsessed with East-Asian men.

>>214538841Asian "metaphysics" is infecting the Western mind. Time is teleological, it is not meaningless, endless duration. Everything we do in life matters. His films are without telos. This Buddhist baloney is the diabolical inversion of everything that is Good, True and Beautiful. Any modern man that had his disordered mind restored by being born anew in Christ Jesus cannot watch this modern farthouse garbage for it is poison to the soul.
>>214540352Classical narrative films can get stale sometimes. There's nothing wrong with dabbling with modernist farthouse iterations. Alinear storytelling, contemplative cinema, etc. Chillax. Calm ye tits; etc.
>>214540352Buddhism says time is neither meaningless or meaningful that is a construction of our own minds. The baloney is also neither good nor bad. Like all things it is empty of essence and your reaction to it says more about you than the thing in itself, which Buddhism would say that it too is empty of any essential quality.
>>214540449>contemplative cinemaWhat's that even supposed to mean, really? I'm seriously asking. Simply pointing the camera at something for a long time does not make something "contemplative."
I'm currently at 40% of all the films I want to watch to have seen something from every country around the world. It's been a while since I've posted an update, and I've only watched like 10 or so films since my last update, but there are really only three I want to post about today. The first is a film from the island nation of Vanuatu titled Tanna. It's essentially just a retelling of Romeo and Juliet, but set in the aforementioned island of Vanuatu and apparently somewhat inspired by real events that took place between the tribes back in the 80's. I went in expecting nothing special, because pretty much everything I've seen from a small island nation so far has been mediocre at best, but some of the cinematography here is fantastic, and while the story was pretty simple and straightforward, it had me interested enough to get invested in where it was going. While I obviously didn't understand the language, the acting seemed to be pretty good as well, which is surprising considering no one involved was an actual actor. Anyway, would recommend. 7/10
>>214540963The second film I want to recommend is a film from Oman called The Falconer. Again this one was supposedly inspired by real events about two friends who stole animals from a zoo they worked at in order to sell them off to pay for one of the main character's sister's divorce, the main moneymaker being the titular falcon. While there is a story throughout, this one is much more of a slow-paced hangout film. Again there is some beautiful cinematography on display here and that coupled with the chill hangout vibes of the film almost makes me want to visit Oman, which is something I never thought I would say. Overall, I didn't like it quite as much as Tanna because I could really notice a lot of the stilted acting, as a majority of the film was in English, but still I would recommend it. 7/10
>>214540762>construction of our own mindsYou are thinking like a tranny. This is not Western classical metaphysics. Reality is real, it leads and out of it arise universals. We have the laws of logic. Time has a beginning and an end. Asia would still be living in their wooden mud huts without our logic and science, which were all made possible because we know the universe was created by an intelligent creator who imprinted his design in nature. This we call Empiricism. Come on home. If you want to see Asian metaphysics in action, spend a week in India. I dare you. Total chaos and disorder. Oh, it smells like poop. This is the power of Buddhism
>>214540979The last film I want to post about today is also my favorite of the bunch. It's a film from Samoa titled The Orator. Immediately from the get-go, I was hesitant about this film because it seemed like it was going to be preachy festival-bait, seeing as it's about a midget from Samoa, but the film quickly won me over. You could replace the midget with a cowardly, weak man and nothing about the film would really change. It's not so much about him being a midget, but him being a coward who is afraid to fight to save his land and his family. While the other two were fairly slow films, this one has very little dialogue at all until the final speeches at the end, and that with again more gorgeous cinematography made for a very engaging watch for me. I could see some people being bored by it, but I really liked it, and felt it had a very satisfying end. 8/10
>>214541002You sound like a bible thumping fanatic. I was arguing in good faith but you are both a nigger and a faggot. Go back to Phil/101 class lil timtim
>>214540963>>214540979>>214541016Thanks for the interesting posts. Never heard about any of these before. I think I'll at least check out The Orator. Midgets are inherently funny and the Samoan setting appeals to me greatly, so I'm sure I'll enjoy it to some degree.
>>214541115All three of them are on Kanopy if you have access to that. If not, I'm imagining they shouldn't be TOO hard to find download links for. If you find midgets inherently funny, then there are definitely a few scenes in The Orator that will make you laugh, even if unintentional

>>214541070You are low IQ, you cant into Thomas Aquinas AKA the greatest mind in human history. Sin darkens the intellect. You will never be able to use reason like a proper man. Go to India and discover yourself! Be effeminate! Be modern! Watch crap!
>>214541002>If you want to see Asian metaphysics in action, spend a week in India. I dare you. Total chaos and disorder. Oh, it smells like poop. This is the power of BuddhismThere are very few Buddhists in India tho'.

asian metaphysics = How Can Mirrors Be Real If Our Eyes Aren't Real
I'm from the neighborhood, fruit.
>>214541300It's weird that Spike cast her in such a tiny part. One short scene, maybe three lines. What was the point?
>>214541372Gooning; I unironically thought "fuck man, Spike fucked that pussy a 100%, no cap", while watching, unironically. Other than that, I dunno, black culture (from like 2 years ago)?
>>214541295I'm not a weeb and I don't have anything against western metaphysics. What I meme arrowed are things I found to be silly more in expression than content. "Reality is real" is a clumsy circular expression of some form of realism and "wooden mud huts" is a contradiction in terms.
>French people offering poisons at their restaurantsfucking weirdos
>>214541477Nothing like some poisoned salmon for lunch. Exit level food.
>>214541449Reality is real is literally how a realist would express this truth. There is nothing circular here. Today reality is not considered real by 95% people of people, we are literally dematerializing. Did you miss the tranny hype train the past few years, just one egregious example of this egregore, this postmodern mind virus. You failed theology class, innit
>>214541293Both last names sound fruity af. I'd think alternatives.
>>214540449I only watch trailers now, much faster and less stale than conventional narrativessometimes I decide my opinion just with the TRAILER - STARTS - NOW bits
>>214541592>Reality is real is literally how a realist would express this truthI have never heard that. I typically hear "real" expressed in terms of "mind-independent existence" (or something similar but less-committal metaphysically so as to allow for certain realist forms of idealism) with a definition of reality deriving from that (something to the effect of "that which exists independently of what you or I or anyone else happens to think about it").
>>214540959On a technical aspect it is an approach to pure cinema, isn't it? No more actors, no more sets, no more borrowing from literature, theater or other art forms.
Bertolt Brecht was the game changer.Do you guys know of any brechtian movies that emphazise the sacrifice of a character for a bigger cause?
>>214541477In the words of Serge Gainsbourg, un poison violent, c'est ça l'amour
>>214542151But that's literally just Cinéma Pur. So you're saying contemplative cinema is just another name for it?

Well, for my money, The Searchers is a lot more perverse in what it portrays than either of those. Midnight Cowboy is basically a moral fable, by comparison.

>>214544932Based ricequeen.
>>214543754I mean, John Wayne was a product of his times, even if he wasn't the most sensible man of them all. I don't even think these interviews are the most outrageous things I've ever read, and that's telling on how far we've got in terms of political extremism (both left and right wing, though mostly right wing). If Wayne was alive today, he'd probably be considered either a moderate or a full blown leftist by the Nick Fuenteses of the world lolLastly, his point about Mr. Spyro still rings true in the present, but I think it's getting to the point where what the common man thinks about x or y politician is irrelevant. I don't accept opinions from people who have no criteria with which to discuss their topics of choice, be them cinema or politics. We have to bring back minimum criteria: a doctor's opinion on politics is worth the same as a politician's opinion on medicine (looking at Mr. Shapiro right now).The only thing I can say is that the lack of empathy that has become widespread in society could only come from people who have never known struggle and true desperation. If you've been at the bottom, you know that all that isolationist bullshit in regards to races and economics is just that: bullshit. Humanity always shines through in the end; intelligence always shines through in the end.Orchid is a great band, but for me it's a Hulud angle based on how I feel in this moment and seeing what's going on in the world right now: Hollow words will burn and hollow men will burn.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BV6WnX5GfVg&list=RDBV6WnX5GfVg&start_radio=1

>>214548136https://youtu.be/xdKP22EaAuU?si=4k5ko1kT6qhTWljK>Some doors bring you to your past. Some doors lead you to your future. And some doors change everything. Sarah (Margot Robbie) and David (Colin Farrell) are single strangers who meet at a mutual friend's wedding and soon, through a surprising twist of fate, find themselves on A Big Bold Beautiful Journey -- a funny, fantastical, sweeping adventure together where they get to re-live important moments from their respective pasts, illuminating how they got to where they are in the present... and possibly getting a chance to alter their futures.
Just got really high and bought this for no reason other than I won 100$ for nothing and wanted to play some cards. But maybe ima keep this bad boy sealed
>>214545192Reading this made me feel violated. You've articulated my loose and recurring thoughts into a neat package. Only difference is my hope is slipping.>>214545243That's a cute little hat you're wearing, Mr Shapiro...
I'm still thinking about this trvth nvke. I have already seen Greed, Bicycle Thieves, Bandits of Orgosolo, Taxi Driver, Días de Santiago, Andrei Rublev, Batalla en el cielo, El dependiente, Crónica de un niño solo, Accattone, Il Marchese del Grillo, Mandabi, Umberto D, Close-Up, Las Hurdes, 3:10 to Yuma, Red Beard, Stray Dog, Stromboli, Nazarin, Mouchette, L'Argent, Recordações da Casa Amarela, Dragon's Return, Crimson Gold, High and Low, Apenas un delincuente, Bigger Than Life, The Round-Up, The Red and The White, Red Psalm, Edipo alcalde, Arsenal, The Great Gabbo, and many more since the list goes on...

>>214548948Yeah, I know, he's not one of my favorites either, but he was a pretty socially conscious filmmaker, so his films are very interesting when analyzing society at large. I think Street of Shame is interesting.

>>214550255We're all making love to the decrepit and exhumed corpse of the thread here.
>part of my hesitation in approaching the film came from its premise--Japanese schoolgirls forming a rock band--and the broader cultural discourse surrounding such imagery. This iconography does not appear in a vacuum; it has long been a locus of fascination, both within Japanese culture and abroad, and even among other (East) Asian cultures, where it circulates in mainstream and subcultural registers alike. That fascination has often, in certain contexts, been cultivated into fetishistic interest--literal or figurative--and entangled with Orientalist attitudes that racialize and eroticize the figure of the Japanese (or East Asian) schoolgirl. To acknowledge this is not to indict or shame viewers for liking the film. The fascination with the Other inevitably draws upon subconscious dispositions shaped by larger histories of racism, exoticism, and fetishization, and the cultivation of these attitudes within image culture means that even viewers who resist or disclaim them may nonetheless find traces of such structures informing their engagements. The point of naming this is not to moralize individual taste--fetishization and racial dehumanization are more structural phenomena than personal failings--but to recognize how they shape the reception of images, how they animate patterns of enthusiasm and acclaim. Of course, this does not excuse the maintenance or reinforcement of such attitudes; particular failures demand accountability.wtf is his problem?
>>214550949Don't know what the fuck he was talking about (didn't read), but weebs did kinda overrate that film to hell and back, though it's still good (and cute). They gotta bring back cute and innocent j-shit like K-On!, man.

I had decent luck last time so I'm trying again, does anyone know if Say One for Me (1959) is available anywhere in decent quality? Or is YouTube the best we're gonna get? Bachelor Flat is impossible to find too.
>>214551487Rude.
>>214551647The only upload on the private trackers that I'm in is a 710x478 SD mkv that looks pretty awful from the preview screenshots, so I wouldn't count on it.

>>214551720That's too bad. I figure they don't have Bachelor Flat either, right? That was 1962.
>>214551775They do, yes. They have two TV recordings(!), which are in different resolutions.
Different aspect ratios, I mean, one's in 10:4, the other in 4:3.
>>214551782>>214551809I think I have a Russian copy of the 4:3 one but it was Cinemascope so 10:4 is probably how it's meant to be seen. Not sure I've seen that one anywhere. Still a shame about the quality but maybe they'll show up one day. The Lieutenant Wears Skirts was only available in 480p when I first watched it then I randomly found it in 1080p one day years later.
