My body is ready
>>221358369Where will this retard learn how to spell? Maybe we should be lucky he didn't call it vvervvulf.
Nosferatu fuckin' sucked
>>221358427yeah well that's just like your opinion manLighthouse > Northman > Nosferatu > VVitchall 8+/10
Erm Werwulf is the Old English word? In Middle English it was Werwolf? Erm I can't watch this film anymore?
>>221358481source????
Another movie of his so preoccupied with being authentic there's no room left for anything of interest.
>>221358369>>We worked with two Oxford professors on the dialogue, which is in Middle English.Nobody fucking cares.>>in a Christian setting, people who turn into werewolves become evil, and the early associations in the Christian mythology become satanic.This doesn't make any sense.>>all the clichés of being bitten by a werewolf and silver bullets and a lot of the stuff that has become almost campy doesn’t exist in the mythology of this movie.Oh it will exist, same way it existed in Nosferatu, only as a means for Eggbert to poke fun at it because he has no original thought in his mongoloid skull.>>Nobody has a name in the movie. Aside from a dog.Well at least he's learning. I mean when you characters are shallow, one-dimensional archetypes that make Macbeth look like a Masterclass, why bother with names?>>Aaron's performance is incredibly harrowing... the stuff that he does physically in the transformation scenes are incredibly extreme. The emotional intensity he brings to role is equally as extreme.I actually believe this, even if it sounds like shillspeak. He was the only decent part of Nosferatu.>>Lily is truly transformative... She’s sort of the most gracious person in the filmEat a bag of dicks.>>Willem is a hunter.Probably just be the same typecast he was in this shitshow's predecessor. I.E. he'll exposition dump for twenty minutes then have a Lighthouse freak-out scene. Very original, Robert.>>You see Aaron as a young man and the werewolf trials of serial killers... some of these stories of young men who had traumatic childhoods was inspiring and something that we explore here.Nobody gives a shit.>>We shot on 35mm film and we used an orthochromatic treatment in post to make the skin tones more wrecked... Additionally, we've found a way to incorporate the grain structure of black and white film onto color film.Nobody gives a shit.
>>221358540Why do you say there's nothing interesting about it? >>221358572You're getting me more hyped. Random contrarian opinions on /tv/ trying their best to be Armand White are delicious!
>>221358369>>221358572>>There's several churches in the film that are based on real churches, but even these very old churches in England don't look the way they did... So every structure was built for the film.Congratulations, you learned the art of hiring people to build sets. Ed Wood knew it too. Fucking moron.>>There's a fresco from a church wall with a hell mouth eating all the souls that are being sent there by Satan... Most of these peasants were illiterate, so the power of these intense graphic images painted in red [make you think] how they must have felt.Nobody gives a shit.>>We shot in Dartmoor [a national park full of craggy rocks]. There are some forests in the south of England, but some of the most spectacular forests were actually in Wales.Nigga it's trees. You could've shot in Georgia and found the exact same forest you fucking pretentious nonce.
>>221358598Imagine needing the opinions of others to watch a movie. A literal visual cuck, and you're freely admitting to it. No wonder you loved Nosferatu.
>le grim dark historical fiction about european folklore monstersGod I wish Eggers would do literally anything else. I had so much hope for his career after Lighthouse but after that its just been making the same movie over and over again yet somehow ever more lackluster
>>221358629But it's the opposite. I've totally disregarded your opinion but find your prattling amusing.>>221358636An underrated classic.>>221358637All of his movies featuren folklore. Maybe he'll do Mesopotamia next.
>>221358637In a world where all movies look and feel the same, we need more well-researched folklore movies so fuck you.
>>221358676Being "well researched" doesn't make the movie any better. I don't give a shit if people are wearing period accurate clothing, it doesn't make it more exciting
>>221358369>takes place around 1300Any niggers in it?
>>221358689How didn't you find Northman exciting? It's literally Norse mythology combined with Amleth, one of the oldest revenge tales. It's an epic with constant actionNosferatu is basically about an insidious plague demon. An atmosphere of dread served it well
I have Eggers fatigue.
>>221358369Eggers is a pretentious retard because of the whole technology thing
>>221358804What?
>>221358804>>221358819He said he won't make a movie that is modern enough to feature a cell phone. I think that's kind of nice but YMMV. At the same time, it would've been cool to see him attempt something futuristic since he's got such a strong interest in anthropology. >>221358751Good news: you can watch it when you find /our/ Egghead to be more refreshing. :)
I like Eggers despite teevee trying to be cool
>>221358982I'd say it's about a 50/50 split, which is pretty good on 4chan for just about anything, but especially for film auteurs
I think that people who turn into monsters because of a traumatic childhood don’t deserve sympathy and we should punish them without mercy
>>221358427
>>221358369>Nobody has a name in the movie. Aside from a dogThat's how poor and illiterate people in the dark ages were, they couldn't afford names and even if they could, they would not have been able to say them. I love Eggers' commitment to 100% historical accuracy.
>>221358844Not just a phone, he doesn't want to show vehicles either (I'm serious). But a lighthouse is okay because he is just a dumb fuck
>>221358369It has no PoCs or Muslims??
>bestiality NTR eroge flickYeah no. PASS. I've seen the northman and Nosferatu. Idk why the dude has such a cuck fetish while being the most white dude ever, but I won't be fooled this time around. Idc how much he dresses it up in metaphor and dressing, the fetish is way too much to bear on the big screen. Maybe when it hits streaming I'll watch it.
>>221358982here on /tv/ we hate both bad and good film makers equally.
>>221358369>>We shot on 35mm film and we used an orthochromatic treatment in post to make the skin tones more wrecked... Additionally, we've found a way to incorporate the grain structure of black and white film onto color film.Next level medieval filter
I love the sets and costumes of these movies but the plots are always boring as shit
>>221358369>Nobody has a name in the movieThat's fucking stupid
>>221358636wtf thanos was in the northman?
>>221359112likely a joke
>>221359136yeah right egger
>>221358427It was easily one of my favourite films from that year. The cinematic experience was fantastic, extremely impressive in today's day and age.
>>221359112That's what it was like back then. Even in the Roman era there were only like four names. If you had more than four children, you just called them 'five', 'six', etc.Like so much of the knowledge from antiquity, these few names were forgotten in the Dark Ages.
>>221359211This is kind of retarded, even they would have come up with bullshit like "smith man"
>>221359184Agreed. That last shot is one of my favorites in cinema.
>>221359285You have to be a mentally ill woman to find this visually appealing
I can't believe people actually hate The Northman. This is one of the most heart-pounding finishes of all time. 10/10, stuck the landing.
>>221359318I think it carries a powerful theme of spiritual redemption and renewal, but to each his own. t. cis hetero male with a stable psyche
>>221358427his previous movies are still kino though
werewolves are my favorite movie monster so i’m really looking forward to this. even gonna go to the theater.
>>221358427It was okay. The Northman sucked, though.
>>221359357Based, same here. Hoping it'll play in 35mm IMAX. I've gone to every one of his movies in theaters. Always a fantastic experience.
>stable psyche
>>221358369He discovered what cross processing is and thinks it's new
Semi-related since I was just checking Eggers' reviews on Letterboxd, but Jesus Christ, that place is full of dorks and faggots. The lamest one-liners are popular reviews and all the people referring to themselves as "girlies" give off the trans smell. Disgusting place.
>>221358804I wonder if that's why he's been silent on his Labyrinth remake, the setting is full of the things he hates and he wants to back out of it
If you like \/\/erevulvs you should check out a film called A American Werewolf in Paris from 1988, it's about an American who turns into a werewolf in London.
>>221358369Going to suck like every other pile of garbage this faggot has made
Is there a single popular director that /tv/ unanimously praises? I swear that people on here will find ways to shit on Kubrick, Kurosawa, Fassbinder, Tarkovsky, Bergman, Melville, etc.
>>221359645I wonder if this board is used by thousands of different people who all have their own opinion on things
>>221359645>Is there a single popular director that /tv/ unanimously praises?Yes, but we can't tell you.
>>221359740Put a thousand professional directors in a room and virtually all of them will say that one of the greats is great for a reason. 4chan is just full of people who haven't accomplished anything but want to criticize others out of self-hatred or a desire to be noticed.
>>221358636as an actual nordic person I can say that that is what old hags around here look like
What if a werewolf movie but it’s actually another Demon possession movie, because there aren’t a fucking thousand of both of those movies
>>221358427Only good scene was when they introduced Nosferatu, rest of the movie is forgettable and Lilly Neppo was annoying
>>221359867What if a werewolf movie but it’s actually another demon possession move, but it’s actually another trauma is the real horror movie, because there aren’t a fucking thousand of all those movies
snorecore
>>221358636Nicole Kidmans face ruined this movie for me
>>221358427no it didn't are you fuckin dumb?
>>221358427The ending carries it hard but it was still a beautiful ending
>>221359318or maybe you're just a tasteless incel
>>221358481Erm escuze me mate… were you there? No?
>>221359427yeah that's what he said dipshitthe fact you're reacting oddly to such a fair, basic statement says a lot more about you than I think you realize you offputting sperg
>>221359285Women will literally fuck bleeding corpses before they touch a good man
This Eggers nigger is going down the same road as the District 9 guy. He's going to be making youtube shorts in 5 years, guaranteed.
I can't wait for the final film in the "Ancient Gothic-Horror Creature Forgets About His One Weakness: The Fucking Sun" Trilogy>Nosferatu (2024)>Sinners (2025)>Werwulf (2026)
>>221359645The Room unironically
>>221359070No I think you are just contrarians retards for the sake of it
>>221358716I liked Northman but it became kind of a snore when he decided to larp as a slave and only picked up again later
>>221359964do you actually hold this opinion, meaning you're as dumb as rocks, or are you doing a poor job of trolling
>>221358572I think he said as much about The Northman. He was like, "I don't know why people would like this. They're missing a lot of context that I don't care to put in the film" or something.
>>221359972you never stayed up playing vidya til the sun came up? same thang.
>>221358656I wish anyone would do mesopotamia and bronze age kino, Im fucking sick of viking and roman/greek stories
>>221360053He's never said something like he can't be arsed to put historical context in a film. You have a poor memory
>>221358982He has yet to make a movie that peaks my interest. Another Dracula and another wearwolf? Another cabin fever movie but lighthouse? Another which boogyman movie? Eggers make me something interesting. You don’t like cars or cellphones? That’s interesting, where are the interesting movies then bro?
>>221358427Hear, hear.Norfman is his current masterpiece, followd by the VVitch
>>221359322Most people either like Northman or hate it. Im the former, aka based.
>>221359972Werewolves aren't hurt by the sun
>>221359972>>221360135kek
>>221360104You're so cool
>>221360135Don’t they turn back to humans when the sun goes up? The moon is what turns wearwolfves into wearwolves. No moon no wearwolfs
>>221360061I'm not allergic to sunlight. Coincidentally, I actually had to adjust my diet and sleep schedule seven years ago because I started to have seizures which was later diagnosed as epilepsy as a result of a genetic neurological condition.And I haven't strayed from it, because seizures are fucking awful, but you know what I imagine is worse? Immolation.Makes me imagine the faggots who wrote this crap have never suffered even the slightest inconvenience or physical pain in their life if they write characters who act so nonchalant in the face of it.
>>221360106>>221360130BASED Northtruthers!>>221360104You can be reductive about pretty much any film ever made if you flatten it into an obvious theme or symbol. What sort of movies would interest you?
>>221360185Avengers infinity war. Just kidding I like history movies. Mystery movies zodiac is fun, I like se7en, the cartoon Disney movies made in the 1900s. What movies do you like?
>>221360165Yeah, but he won't die. The dude is still cursed
>>221360183You're completely missing the point of Nosferatu. Demons aren't necessarily strictly logical or self-preserving beings. His sinful gluttony overrode his other senses. He was not nonchalant—he was powerfully attracted to a virgin child that he spiritually raped who also happens to have a highly specific, intoxicating spiritual flavor for him particular tastes. Even still, he tries to leave when the sun is coming up but she has him continue to eat her heart. Animals in the wilderness gorge themselves and die. So do pets at home when they get into things they shouldn't.
>>221360135It varies by source, but the implication would be that the "Werwulf" will get defeated after losing track of time in a precarious situation and turning back into a hooman.
>>221360031I loved the Witch and the Lighthouse but now he's just doing variations of "unintelligible grimdark historical drama" just like Blomkamp wouldn't stop making sophomoric CGI class struugle tales
>>221360214Nice. I can get into pretty much every genre but I roll my eyes at Nazi and queerbait and racebait stuff. Basically anything SJW coded. Stuff like the Judgment at Nuremberg which considers the banality of evil and the oppression of workers under an insidious system is far superior to something like The Zone of Interest or cry-porn like The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. Incidentally, if you haven't seen it, you'd probably greatly enjoy it since you like history movies. Spencer Tracy and the guy playing the Nazis' defense counsel are outstanding.
>>221360233Im not the guy you responded to and Im not refuting your statement about the movie but you're talking nonsense with those last two sentences. Im going to assume you're just a clever bot
>>221360233Sounds incredibly lame
>>221360233>Demons aren't necessarily strictly logical or self-preserving beingsI mean he'd been alive for centuries and hired a real estate agent to move away from increasing danger and to a better food source, with some poontang on the side. Seems pretty fuckin' logical and self-preserving to me, inspector.>Animals in the wilderness gorge themselves and die. So do pets at home when they get into things they shouldn't.Not most, only a few. Notably dogs.Orlok isn't a dog. He's just a nigga.
>>221358369That is a beautiful still ngl
>>221358427yeah that's kinda what vampires do
>>221360273Never herd of it but looks interesting thank you
>>221359480Contrarian or zoomer spotted.
I really wanted to hate nosferatu but it honestly ruled. his best movie to date
>>221358656>Maybe he'll do Mesopotamia next.God, I hope not. I love his movies, but some things should just be left to the imagination. (Maybe unless he went really bonkers with it and did something completely symbolic like The Lighthouse instead of trying to be authentic.)
>>221359112>>221359136
>>221359807There aren't 1,000 directors in history whose opinion matters.
>>221358636She's actually cast perfectly kekher character is mythologically evil
>>221358636Plastic surgery in the 800s?
>>221358369You mean Vvervvulf?
This sounds fucking badass. Why are you fags so jaded and cynical? No one should be hating on this.
>>221360792Why are shill posts so obvious?
>>221360843You think I'm getting paid to write that comment on this dead board? Are you genuinely retarded or just pretending?
>>221358427tpbp, fuck that shit. northman kicks ass.
>>221360874I know a Honduran who gets paid to shill Nick Fuentes on /pol/ and X. You're not even a real person! This message is for anyone real actually reading it.
>>221360985How much do you even get paid? Like 3 cents to post? That sounds pointless.
>>221358369
>>221358427I agree. I expected a horror movie and got a two hour Gothic ugly bastard ntr doujin instead
>>221358369people will meme but that's a Kubrickian still. looks like a painting
