Some blessed thread on the catalog tonight
>>222878146Better the frog than anime pictures.
Was thinking about seeing both Lawrence of Arabia and David Fincher's the Game on the big screen next weekend, but I'd have to be at the movies from like 2pm to 8:30pm. I've seen LoA and it's just a DCP so I might skip it and have an early dinner and just see The Game because it's on 35mm.
>>222878306Both are based you faggot, we live in a anime website.

>Few were able to play the studio heads better than Hawks; he could be as cagey as they were, and even though they were the absolute bosses in Hollywood, Hawks represented the refined, accomplished, well-mannered, Ivy League, blue-blooded WASP whose acceptance they craved. They must have felt Hawks’s condescension; they were dealing with a man who, from the beginning of his career, conveyed the impression of independent wealth even when he was virtually broke.>What drove him to achieve this was an insistent, overpowering will to independence. What enabled him to do it was a potent mixture of arrogance, intelligence, wealth, antiauthoritarianism, skill at intimidation, impudence, and willingness to walk away.
>>222881156>Thirteen years older than Hawks and in his early thirties when they met,Victor Fleming long served as an unacknowledged role model for Hawks. Everything Hawks considered himself or was ever known as—film director, macho sportsman, ladies’ man, auto racer, flier, tough guy—Fleming did first and, with the exception of directing, better, although many of their contemporaries would have differed even on that point. Fleming was the real thing, the genuine article. Tall, physically powerful, and described by one woman as “a composite between an internal combustion engine hitting on all twelve and a bear cub,” Fleming was also deeply, compulsively emotional in a way that Hawks never was, a man who agonized over work, often got himself into binds, and repeatedly pushed himself to the brink, and whose serious drinking, recurring ulcers, and other physical ailments were a direct result of his complicated, demanding, tumultuous life. If Hawks kept all his tension and anxiety wound up tight inside, Fleming let it all out. And if there was a real-life inspiration for the prototypical “love story between two men” that Hawks kept returning to as his ideal subject, beginning with A Girl in Every Port, it was his own relationship with Victor Fleming.

Todd Solondz in "Married to the Mob"
The Woman In The Window and Across The Pacific are two of the best noirs that don’t get talked about enough. Especially ATP, it’s like a noir-WWII movie. Reminded me a lot of The Maltese Falcon.

Why didn't a certain waifufag shill this one more? Shit was mad kino.
>>222881251Samuel Fuller tries to sell his idea about The Sun Also Rises to Howard Hawks> When Fuller enthused about the Hemingway, Hawks asked if he would be interested in writing the script, but was stunned when Fuller, carried away with excitement, suggested his idea for a great opening scene: in a tent near the front during World War I, an injured Jake Barnes is on the operating table; the nurse is Brett, and the light from the lantern shines upon her as we hear Jake’s balls drop, one, then the next, into a bucket. Thus, in one vivid scene would the audience be clued in to the nature of Jake’s malady and Brett’s knowledge of it. (Though Hemingway never explicitly detailed the injury in the novel, he elsewhere indicated that Jake lost not his balls but his penis, leaving him with the ability to still feel sexual desire but unable to do anything about it. Fuller misunderstood this, while Hawks’s insight into this crucial component of the story remains unclear.) Needless to say, Fuller did no work on this script.
>>222879749Will rub one out in her honor today. Highly cinematographical schnozz on her for what it's worth.
>>222883571>But considerably more annoying to Hawks was Michele Girardon. The director had taken a great personal interest in her from the beginning, bringing her to Hollywood before the shoot and advising the inexperienced actress in his usual Pygmalionesque way. But there was much more to it than that. “Howard Hawks loved Michele Girardon,” said Gerard Blain, “but she refused all his advances.” This incensed Hawks, and he punished her as well by slicing her part to the minimum, although Blain felt that he “kept cutting and changing her role because he realized she wasn’t much good. He really wasn’t much of an actor’s director. But if Michele had accepted the advances of Howard Hawks, it would have been a much different film.” Hawks’s frustration generated considerable tension on the set, which only increased when certain insiders realized that Girardon was carrying on the most furtive of affairs with Russell Harlan. No one knows if Hawks ever found out about that.
>>222881156>>222881251>>222883689>>222883927Is that supposed to be funny?
>>222883897Shame about those shoulders though.
What did I just watch? Why did Marie let herself be raped? Then there's a murder out of nowhere in the middle of the film that's never shown and we shift main characters to a drunkard that just appeared, what the hell? Then he becomes rich and gets called a retard to his face and just dies? Why do all the actor wear blank expressions all the time? Clearly deliberate, but I don't understand the reason, it just weakens the emotional impact of the scenes. This is the first time I have no idea what to think of a film. I have no idea whether this is a masterpiece or just a pretentious experiment. What did it all even mean?
>>222884069BREEDY'D
>>222884069The main character is the donkey, you donkey!
>>222884186The main character is Marie clearly, without her there wouldn't even be a proper story.
>>222884069>Why do all the actor wear blank expressions all the time? Clearly deliberate, but I don't understand the reason, it just weakens the emotional impact of the scenes.Baby's first Bresson.
>>222884069>I think that in other films actors speak as if they were onstage. As a result, the audience is used to theatrical inflections. That makes my nonactors appear unique, and thus, they seem to be speaking in a single new way. I want the essence of my films to be not the words my people say or even the gestures they perform, but what these words and gestures provoke in them. What I tell them to do or say must bring to light something they had not realized they contained. The camera catches it; neither they nor I really know it before it happens.>Here is the problem: The public is educated to a certain kind of film. Therefore, when they see what you call my elliptical films, they are disturbed. Bad critics say I am inhuman and cold. Why? Because they are used to acting; since they find none in my films, they say I am empty.>I think cinema is misguided, that it has its own language, its own means, and that it has gone wrong since its birth, that is to say it's trying to express itself using tools which are those of the theatre. But there are wonderful actors in theatre. Believe me, I have such a hard time because I don't use them, it's really not for my pleasure. But I believe in the very particular language of cinema and I think that, once you try to express something through mimics, through gestures, through effects in the voice, it can no longer be cinema, it becomes filmed theatre.
Marie also gives herself willingly to the old man at the end. She seemed like such a sweetheart at first but turned into such a whore.
>>222884318I understand his point, but I think he's just wrong. Cinema is the natural evolution of theatre and if the acting was better the film would've been a lot more powerful.
>>222884372I disagree. I'm with Bresson. Theatrical acting becomes more comical the closer you see it. Most films cannot be taken seriously.
>>222879749>>222883897The Passing of the Great Race
>>222884000no, it's interesting
>>222884388Comical? There's nothing comical about, say, Robert De Niro or Daniel Day-Lewis's acting in their most prominent roles. The "non-acting" of Bresson's films is what makes them a product of their time, an experiment, rather than actual ethereal art.
>>222884501>There's nothing comical about (...) Daniel Day-Lewis's acting This has to be bait, right?
If this guy wants to be known for his words rather than the acting then he should write a book not direct a movie.
>>222884501Acting is silly. De Niro and Day-Lewis are clowns.
>>222884549What? Does this general hate him? You people are so pretentious.
>>222884673He is the poster boy for >I AM LE ACTING!The Nolan of actors, and I mean that as the greatest insult I can possibly muster.
>>222884727He's famous, so what? Do you think he's a bad actor because of his fame? Every classical director you like was probably very famous during their time as well.
I wonder if the newfag getting filtered by Bresson is the same newfag that was getting filtered by Tsai.
>>222884673Be honest, do you not see anything silly and inherently ridiculous about method acting itself? PTA asking this posh English guy a question and him replying in-character as a Californian oil baron.
>>222884766>appeal to popularity>in /film/ of all placesSomethings popularity is completely independent of it's actual quality. He's a bad actor because he is totally incapable of subtlety, it's outright vaudeville hamminess but we are supposed to be taking him seriously. You have conflated yelling and being loud with good acting.Dennis Hopper in Blue Velvet is an example of an actually good over the top performance, because he's not completely one-dimensional and he actually sells the reality of being unhinged. DDL never feels like an actual character, it just feels like he's fishing for an Oscar.
>>222884867There's nothing silly or ridiculous about someone taking their craft seriously, what the fuck are you even doing here in the ARThouse general if you find artistic expressions ridiculous?
The amount of people who genuinely enjoy Tsai and Bresson films are a minority within a minority. I want to say that there are probably less than 500K Bresson fans on Earth. I'm glad some of them are here.
>>222884318People like theatrical acting because it's convincing and effective you dumb fucking faggot (i'm speaking to Bresson not you, anon). I hate this guy so much it's unreal.
>>222884986>in /film/ of all placesYou lot only discuss the most popular Cannesbait arthouse filmmakers though
>>222885072That's no way to speak to a man denied his divinely ordained raw dog plappage. You can't know the pain he's endured. Sit down. Be humble.
>>222884812You're still assblasted about people seeing through Tsai's Walker grift? Sheesh.
>it IS Lmaooooooo
>>222885260It's not, you're just legitimately retarded. Wouldn't surprise me if you were waifufag adjacent by this point.
>>222885100There is a vast gulf between the average /tv/ pleb and the /film/ pleb. The average mouth breathing American knows who DDL is, but they would outright refuse to watch a Carax or Fellini romp.
>>222884501>There's nothing comical about, say, Robert De Niro or Daniel Day-Lewis's actingI don't think you could've picked worse examples. Nothing comical about De Niro performances? Come on now.
>>222885060How can I genuinely enjoy them? I'm too used to narrative-focused films, their films do nothing for me emotionally.
>>222881251Fleming was a car mechanic that Dwan made into a cameraman once he found out Fleming was a photography hobbyist.
>>222885311If you weren't touched by the ending of The Irishman you're not sensitive enough to talk about art.
hey guys
>>222885370You have to be baiting
>>222885456You are the one making outrageous claims.
>>222885334I don't know. You don't have to "enjoy" every film. Nobody's obliging you. Something like A Man Escaped does have a strong narrative hook. It's just very terse and elliptical in its presentation.
>>222885334>>222885370It's beyond me how anybody can watch Balthazar and say it does nothing for them emotionally and then that same person having the gull to say if "if you're not touched by the ending of The Irishman you're not sensitive enough to talk about art".
>>222885478Negating YOUR outrageous claim that there's NOTHING comical about De Niro's performances is not an outrageous claim, it's something quite obvious in fact. You absolutely are baiting, good day, sir!

>>222885630Yeah, but you're gay, who gives a fuck what you think of mafia movies. Only mafia you'd like is something like a homosexual mafia where everybody larps of being a woman at all times and calls others dahlings.
>>222885484I'm just saying what I feel. I don't delude myself into liking boring pretentious films just for some brownie points here or to pretend I'm super smart.
The Irishman has a 95 metascore, your favorite film is probably not even close to that.

>>222878320I feel so lucky I got to see LoA (for the first time) in 70 mm.
Bresson is not a film director, he's an "experience" director. He creates experiences rather than actual films. Nothing wrong with that, just don't call it cinema.
>>222886514Why? Beacause it's missing nearly 100 minutes?
>>222887442Ben-hur is better.
>>222887560Yes.
>>222887560I downloaded that 11 years ago I see now. All in due course.
>>222884069Agree on all points. And also the donkey was barely in it
>>222887815>>222887821I just read some info on behind the scenes of that film and apparently Bresson tried to fuck that actress but she cucked him with another member of the crew and later married Godard. Marie was a slut even in real life.
>>222887919Sluts need to be punished and put in order. Painal was what needed to be done.
>>222887919Ah, Bobby, don't hate me 'cause I'm beautiful, Bobby. Maybe if you got rid of that old yee-yee ass haircut you got you'd get some bitches on your dick. Oh, better yet, maybe Zemsky'll call your dog-ass if she ever stop fuckin' with that crew member or auteur she fucking with. Bobby...
>>222887919I would think that dynamic would reslut in a better movie but alas
