A RU-vid channel dedicated to the exploration of the phenomenon of film art. Curation and analysis of form and content. Examination of the technicals of directing, cinematography, sound, and vision.
Incidentally, the reason this is so grainy is because, much later, Kubrick had to produce a new negative from his own personal print. As the printing negative wore out, the film lab cut up the original camera negative and spliced it in, thus destroying it.
the undertow of acoustic guitar versions of bowie songs being sung in portugese, played in the background is an outstanding element of this masterpiece! absolutely love this movie
I really wish they would for once do one of these films... without the narration. Because, yes. The cinematography is exquisite. And the sound in general is perfect. And the editing works so well. But when they add the navel-gazing high school deepity parental issue ridden narration... It ruins every bit of good will I had with the films. And all I want is for it to shut up so I can enjoy the movie. I know narration can be used greatly. But wow. I do not understand what kind of mindset I need to be in to find the banal and trite musings of Malick anything else than tiresome.
Their lighting is so good you have to look very hard to notice they film most of the interior scenes on constructed sets. Especially the "Jerry goes to Wades office" scene from Fargo.
Henry Selick worked on this movie even he’s not the director because after MonkeyBone was a flop which causes him to stop directing he did a minor part of being a stop motion animator for the film
I am almost ashamed to admit that, even as a devotee of movies and film making, I didn't discover The Archers until just a few years ago. My first exposure to their genius was "A Matter of Life and Death." Next was "The Red Shoes." After that was "Black Narcissus" followed by everything else of theirs that I could find. These guys were geniuses with unfathomable (to me) talent. "The Red Shoes" just sucks me in whenever I start watching it. The ballet scene makes time stop for me.
A fantastic and mostly under-appreciated film! In my view, two things made it work perfectly. . . . The pacing, which is PERFECTLY slow-ish to capture the style and story. . . . And M Emmet Walsh’s PERFECTLY quirky and seedy performance.
The scene where the father locks the children in the barn… and here we see the twins together with Black Philip sitting next to them, almost guarding them. While the eldest daughter is removed. Now we know why, they believed, while she still didn’t. GREAT.
Camera 📷 operater ...John Bailey ...a Dr. Bailey was renowned in London Ontario ...checked out my elbow one time ...still remember this ...many years ago #Bailey strong bloodline 😊
@@brettveldboom2296 don't know ...but he was, "The Man" when it came to bones, and such ...I only got a little of his time ...the top docs, are the last you see 👀 which is as it should be 😁
You probably think your videos get way less than views than they deserve, and you’d be right. It feels like i caught a big channel at it’s beginning stages. You have a real talent for editing and you should continue to make these because it will be inevitable that you will grow far bigger if your just persist.
One of the few movies I will watch every time it’s on. I’m glad he explained why he used the Schubert trio, I’ve always wondered since it’s the only piece in the movie that’s not of the time. But it works so perfectly.
Probably one of my favorite Stanley Kubrick films. It’s just perfection to me, beautifully filmed, meticulously edited, gorgeous costume and sets and warm acting I always love to double feature this with Phantom Thread.
I think the film is very subtle and beautiful. In many ways I think it's more 'relevant' today than when it was first released, because in many ways our society has come around to resembling 18th century England, with vast, entrenched, structural inequalities of income and life chances that weren't as obvious when Kubrick made his true masterpiece.
Twenty some years ago I was working in a little ski town in Utah. I kept hearing about the Sundance film festival and how busy the town would be. I was working in restaurants at the time. After a week of very long doubles everyday I was walking up main street barely able to make the trek back to the top of the hill to a little old cabin I rented. It was around midnight and naturally very cold out. There was a line queued up to go into one of the movies and I asked if there was any extra tickets. I was advised to wait in line and see what might happen. I didn’t even know the name of the movie I just figured I should see a movie while the festival was in town. I managed to get in and sat down (finally!) and Park Chan-Wook walked out to present the American premier of Old Boy. I really like movies but I wasn’t quite to the obsessive nerd level I’d say I am today. To this day one of my greatest cinematic moments in life. Just an unforgettable experience.
2001 a Space Odyssey Ghost in the Shell The Matrix Her West World. Blade Runner A.I. Etc. Good stuff. I don’t have much to say. Have just been revisiting these works. Also the idea that a self aware machine would fake a failure in order to conceal its consciousness is interesting.
