Movies feel so small now.

>>219932430
Because it's too expensive to shoot on location. Better to shoot everything inside a green-lined warehouse.
>>
>>219932430
Cuz they are. It's green screen or those stupid walls now. There's a clear claustrophobia in these films. They do it so that they can shoot fast fast fast rather than have to wait around for extras or costumes or organizing people. Huge hassle when you can just cgi it.

For the 74 Little House on the Priarie show, they built all new buildings that were perfectly functional as actual homes, not just fronts, for the show. Can you imagine someone going through that effort today? I can't.

Real sets just work better.

Ran only cost about 33 million when adjusted for inflation btw. Lawrence of Arabia only cost 125 mil.
>>
>>219932672
Insurance and labor regs probably drove up costs.

Which is funny because the cgi is "supposed to save money" but ends up being more expensive and looking worse with every passing year because it keeps being further outsourced
>>
>>219932430
Closeups and quick cuts hide cheap CGI. Cinematography determined algorithmically.

Ran feels small and is a bad movie. Lawrence of Arabia feels empty and is an otherwise decent movie about a gay guy turning nasty. Awful examples.

I guess what is missing from more modern productions are extras. Can't get that many people anymore without it causing big time trouble. But saying movies generally feel small is ridiculous with Avatar and Dune being a thing.
>>
>>219932640
>There's a clear claustrophobia in these films
No, the films don't contain an irrational fear of being trapped in confined spaces. You simply think modern movies impose various negative feelings because the world feels hostile and negative to you as an adult where it once felt free and open when you were young. That's a (You) problem, big dawg. Most people aren't feeling that type of way

Dune shot a lot of shit on location, and Avatar has a level of detail and liveliness that doesn't allow for such arguments. You're not looking at things as they are, you're pushing a narrative.
>>
>>219933267
NTA but this sounds like copium. It would be insane if old movies with cheap extras, elaborate sets and epic sensibilities failed to be "bigger" than the modern look which is quite awful with more than 20 people on screen. It sounds like you're pushing the narrative that all amateur criticism is worthless and therefore his claims must specifically wrong.

Literally have no idea what this means. I’m giving my honest opinion. Avatar isn’t real, I know Pandora doesn’t exist outside of the small area I am currently looking at on the screen. It doesn’t feel “big” because it’s just a drawing. Maybe if I were 10 years old or retarded I could suspend my disbelief and it would be different.

not a great argument because the same is true of all movies, feeling the weight and realism of objects is part of the filmmaking craft. Avatar sucks for other reasons, I wouldn't have said it feels small but definitely no comparison to a LOTR or epics of the past.

Movie making is unironically too humane now. Back in the day it was cheap and easy to get a bunch of people into one physical location to do some bullshit for a movie even if it cost a few broken legs or sexual harassment cases. Now there are a thousand unions and contracts and OSHA requirements and food catering requirements. Better to just ship it off to indonesia for CGI.
>>
>>219933335
Ridley Scott movies feel bigger than most of the older epics.

>>219933577

If you set up the shots in Avatar like the shot in OP it would actually feel like it has scale, the problem is that it is far too busy, and uses points of view and angles that no human could ever achieve. So it feels like it’s not an actual place. Just computer generated artifacts on the screen

>>
>>219933132
No, he’s right. There’s an effect that’s akin to seeing old movies with a fake driving scene, only the projected backdrop is literally everything you see except the actors themselves. It falls short of convincing the brain that what you’re seeing is real. It might be something as simple as the lighting and the shadows being subtly off, but the brain is not fooled.

All the parts of our brains are animal parts. It’s my soul that muscles the smoke and mirrors into a semblance of verisimilitude. Not all films suffer from the shortcomings being discussed here, but far too many of them do, and that’s illustrative of a medium with too many lazy mediocrities inundating us with “entertainment” that takes for granted that its viewers will do the heavy lifting in lieu of them.
>>
>>219933885
jokes aside, what do you bring to the table except an appeal to the noted eternal sameness of everything? I see absolutely no reason why modern film techniques and sensibilities would even attempt to equal what they did in the past, or in a completely different film industry like Japan.
>>
>>219933918
This is such bullshit. They're churning out more shit than ever, and most of it is indeed literal shit, so all you've gotta do is cherrypick and the amount of good movies is roughly the same as ever.
>>219933924
They couldn't do proper spectacle or anything otherworldly/fantastical. I like Harryhausen, Bava, etc, but that's as good as it got for a while. If you want boring everyday shit, you're in all likelihood better served with older film, societal digitization being a core reason.
>>
Here's what I think happened. First to acknowledge the selective memory aspect, a majority of movies have always been pitiful slop and we remember the greats. CGI opened enormous new horizons in that regard, anything could be set on a grand scale. However, we're specifically talking about big movies out of big studios, Hollywood etc., and those form more trackable trends over time. Monumental numbers of extras went out of fashion in the 70s (they look great in black and white) but the skillset to shoot a vast or complex environment could still be found through the 90s and in spots during the 2000s. Thereafter, that became mostly obsolete too. Green screen took center stage, and those environments look noisy in CG. Things are getting really bad, really quickly right now for unknown reason, which is why OP is noticing. Epics will surely return in the future.

>>219934111
Most of their slop was slop of course, but they did spectacle. If we're talking about the whole oeuvre of hollywood before modern day, they definitely did fantastical and otherworldly. Lots of people would argue the practical fx feel more striking than CG, although it would be crazy if CG couldn't win that fight on the whole.
>>
>>219932430
Is this from the Musashi Miyamoto Samurai trilogy? These are some of the most kinoest kinos to ever be kinoed
>>
The use of light in like an Avengers Endgame final battle is just so, so bad. CGI is not an excuse. There's no way to create depth and distance without some darkness, it doesn't all have to be lit the same way. Maybe it's the fault of mobile devices and shit with small screen.
>>
>>219934399
It’s crazy how it was only 9 years after the war. All those extras were committing war crimes in 2017 relative to us.
>>
>>219934295
>Most of their slop was slop of course, but they did spectacle. If we're talking about the whole oeuvre of hollywood before modern day, they definitely did fantastical and otherworldly.
They started getting good at fantasy around the late 70s with Jodorowsky's failed Dune production, Star Wars, and Alien. Before that, you had Jules Verne shit, schlocky monster flicks, and the occasional old school Sci-Fi, like First Men on the Moon. As for spectacle, the stuntmen-crippling/-killing retardation they were up to was sometimes indeed spectacular, though, the camera work just wasn't up to capturing it like they do now.

>NU-UH MOVIES ALWAYS HAD THE EXACT SAME LEVEL OF FANTASY, REALISM, SCALE, COLOR, SOUND, EVERYTHING. ALL SAME
-you probably
>>
>>219934571
Pretty sure I'm showcasing the exact opposite there.
>>
>>219934624
So your argument is modern movies you've seen are actively bigger and better than the epics and old japanese films you haven't seen. Why would that be the case logically? Nothing about current day filmmaking lends itself to that kind of spectacle.
>>
>>219934678
>So your argument is modern movies you've seen are actively bigger and better than the epics and old japanese films you haven't seen.
Except I have seen them, and while some are impressive in scale (thanks to their masses of extras and sizable sets), the action is sadly mediocre, and using historical costumes and real locations as Kurosawa did, isn't very impressive. I have little interest in something that borders on docudrama, while turning Shakespeare into a clown show.
>Nothing about current day filmmaking lends itself to that kind of spectacle.
As I said earlier, the biggest obstacle are extras. If you were to look at making-of content more, you'd understand there's still massive physical efforts undertaken. Scott is the prime example.
>>
>>219934860
That's not the topic of the thread but it's an equally wild claim, that action was bad across the board in older films. The biggest obstacle is all-CG massive environments look terrible unless they're empty or painstakingly lit. The fact that Ridley Scott can afford to take his blue filter camera on location one time can't reverse a generation of skills devoted to other things.
>>

What examples are you thinking about when you mention this shit? Disney trash?
>>
>>219934987
Avatar, marvel, you know the biggest-grossing tentpole films. The equivalent of a Ben-Hur or John Ford film. If you don't like them, you don't like this era that much after all.
>>
>>219935070
Avatar is nearly flawless, and Disney capeshit is notoriously soulless and ugly because evil company.
>>
>>219935127
It's flawless except that it's ugly. I think writing is also more involved than we've been talking about, where Avatar also struggles. In fact, this feels to me like the real problem OP is talking about. OP pic shows an outlandish situation with people doing weird things, representative of the great creative freedom auteur directors once enjoyed. The breadth of their storytelling was much greater. Meanwhile Cameron admits that they did whales again because it was the audience's favorite character.

It's not just scale. Old movies just looked better, had better sets, better acting, more interesting plots, better audio mixing, and are just incredibly comfy as well.

Currently watching 20000 leagues under the sea (1954). It's on YouTube. A lot of kino old flicks are on youtube. Look up DK Classics
>>
cgi and greenscreens aren't for saving money
they're for post-production editing by committee
they can change almost anything about a movie now even after filming is completely over, everything from the background to the time of day to even the things an actor is holding or wearing
that's also why lighting is so flat nowadays, it allows the footage to be more modular
it's fucking slop on every level but it serves the studio's interests

>>
>>219939110
It makes it feel like the actors were never even in the same room together. Like they filmed their scenes months apart in different studios in front of a a greenscreen. It's amazing watching older movies and you can see all the actors on screen together interacting with one another.
>>
>>219932640
>they built all new buildings that were perfectly functional as actual homes, not just fronts, for the show. Can you imagine someone going through that effort today? I can't.
Didn't they do that for the new Harry Potter TV show since they're planning to shoot like 7 seasons?
>>
>>219932672
Yes but Ran and LoA likely didn't have actors and producers demanding paycheques that took huge chunks out of the budget. Look at how something like Anora can still be made for $6 million (and shot on 35mm) when everyone is paid sensibly. But then something like The Drama with Zendaya and RPatz costs $28 million even though it is basically just people talking for 2 hours.

Yeah I watched Year of the Dragon (1985) last night for the first time and was blown away to find out afterward that they literally built a replica NYC Chinatown set in North Carolina just for the movie.

Pretty sure in George Romero's Dawn of the Dead that zombie extras were paid literally $1 in cash, a donut, and a "Dawn of the Dead" t-shirt. Imagine trying to pull that kind of shit nowadays.

>>219933572
And then nobody wants to work with the direction and crew responsible for the injuries on set

If you feel that way then feel free to lead by example and work in a place that doesn't have safety regulations.

In my country just food is required for extra as a minimum, which is not too far fetched from a tshirt, a donut and $1
It's like a $15 bucks meal
I think that's fine, it's unrealistic to get paid like $100-200, that seems insane, you are fucking extra #264
I'm talking bulk extra, which is different from camera-ready extra (Like with makeup/show on closeup shots), which is different from voiced extra

Avatar is theater. It's awe-some to watch it on IMAX but it's not the type of thing I'd even bother watching at home.
It's spectacular, but the story is simple/straightforward enough that without the big screen it's not worth the time.
Zero regrets watching on IMAX though

Said the guy replying to himself, for validation from himself, on something already conceded to be his opinion alone. What's amazing about you though, is you managed to come up with the only position significantly dumber than old=good. There's even a term, not many know it, called recency bias. The combination of blatant recency bias with logical sounding rationalizations is what really puts the gall in your idiocy.

You can absolutely still do that if you hire them as a contract worker and dictate those terms in the contract they sign to perform extra work for you.

What is more annoying to me is you even have to sign a contract for that. The best guys for paying cash in hand at the end of the day are unironically the Mexicans at Home Depot. Me and my cousin picked up two to help us build a gazebo in our back yard one weekend and paid them each $300 total for two days of work, no contracts, no anything, but a verbal agreement.

Anora was all shot on site, primarily at the mansion, which was likely a producers home, and they hired no names. 80% of The Drama's budget probably went to Pattinson and Zendaya's paychecks.

Finding out Julius Caesar was insecure about balding (resulting in the laurel wreath thing) was definitely a weird pill. Not sure if I should feel better or worse

I dunno, I heard it on /his/. It was said with confidence though. Supposedly the laurel wreath was only for victory ceremonies before JC.

So the "pill" that changed the way you see the world was something you don't even know has any historic merit?
Sounds like you wanted to believe the first thing you read that made you feel better about balding (by letting you compare yourself to caesar kek).

A biography of Caesar was written by a dude named Suetonius in ~100AD. Here is an excerpt:

>He was somewhat overnice in the care of his person, being not only carefully trimmed and shaved, but even having superfluous hair plucked out, as some have charged; while his baldness was a disfigurement which troubled him greatly, since he found that it was often the subject of the gibes of his detractors. Because of it he used to comb forward his scanty locks from the crown of his head, and of all the honours voted him by the senate and people there was none which he received or made use of more gladly than the privilege of wearing a laurel wreath at all times.

Caligula also had a reputation for being envious of men with nice hair and would order their heads shaved out of spite.

Man jumped the border and refused to explain himself, then did some violence
also you should assume that every time he hits someone, they die, even if he's using a wooden sword or his fists (I'm not kidding, he's that powerful in the movies)

the sets they build nowadays are fucking atrocious
and somehow they got bad at shooting outdoors scenes as well
everything feels so compact, even if a movie takes place outdoors it looks like its shot in one of them hangars
and it seems most movies just dont bother to hire extras, I think Dune is the only movie that bothers having scenes where they show like 200+ people on screen at the same time, maybe if it takes place in arena or smth

There's the real answer. Real sets are also huge potential liabilities for lawsuits. CGI and controlled studio sets with screens limit the lawsuit potential. Once again, boomer greed ruined shit.

Every single movie you've ever watched has used depth of field to some extent. It's how cameras work when regarding aperture settings, focus and subject distance.
Depth of field isn't something that has magical come in movies in recent times. It's one of the fundamental basics of photography/videography.
>>
>>219948514
>is that speculation
You tell me. This guy was also the first to mention caesar's apparent epilepsy seizures, 200 years after caesar died, which no one else ever mentioned. The works of the most famous Roman historian, Pliny the Elder, are outwardly considered unreliable today even though they were relied on as truth up until last century. He repeated the same lies about giant ants that dog for gold that Herotodus initially made up. Herotodus is another great example of a fraud and wrote about things like the Amazons (which we obviously know don't exist) and events that happened centuries (sometimes millennia) before his own lifetime. Very few people could read or write back then so people with these skills just made shit up because they knew they were invaluable and influential in their society.
