If you're confused on why this is no longer labeled as The Director's Cut, I've transitioned the channel into a personal storytelling brand. Here's some info on what's to come:
I release a video every other week based around learning to achieve a better quality of life through studying story.
Stories are a huge part of our lives. We interact with them daily through novels, poems, films, videos, and more. Story can be an extremely useful tool when it comes to understanding ourselves and how we can improve our lives. You just have to know how to use it properly and I'm here to show you.
Besides the videos I create on the channel, I host a discord server you're welcome to join and chat with other subscribers in. I also host a book club, extra, weekly video content, and an action and accountability program on my Patreon. I'd love for you to check it out. www.patreon.com/jilloms
I sit here in 2024 and must admit that this film is haunting me. I saw it first in theater (2006) and took it in as a pretty good Sci-fi flick. A few years later, I caught it on cable and more of the story's relevance started to come through to me. In the past 5 years I have watched the film multiple times and have come to view it not only as a masterpiece of film making, but a disturbing reminder of exactly how limited the aspirations of our civilization are without hope for our future, which is where we stand now. With active wars in both Ukraine and in the Gaza strip, the scenes in Brexhill are mortifyingly prescient. Too much of the world has not been given a seat at the table of advantages, that our progress since WW2 has provided the first world. I am lower middle class in the US and I realize that the majority of the world does not have the same benefit of stability or comfort in life that I enjoy. For many obvious reasons, morality being one, this cannot continue.
The joker with Joaquin Phoenix couldn’t touch this one. Heath perfectly portrayed the mischief and criminality of the Joker character but in the Joaquin one, it just seemed like a homeless man who just needed a lot of therapy. I doubt anything will touch Heath’s joker. Even his eyes change to suit the characters emotions, he did this role deep!
But why i feel like they are talking about him like he is stranger to them. I mean when some people are acting they usually make mistakes and have fun sometimes. But when they are talking about him is like he didn't interact with them so much( but he did; i mean how could you film the whole movie without any interactions if he is half of the movie time on the screen). It's like none of them talked with him about something else when they filmed.
I can't really express how much I enjoy this film. I never get tired of rewatching it, I know it pretty by heart now, yet every time I am blown away by the most wtf scenes. That is ny definition of a great picture!
I watched 20 to 30 times and written the story of dark knight to learn film making and I can say this is my film education without going to film school but I didn’t like the concept of film school
If you show a man Brokeback Mountain and then The dark Knight, it is almost impossible to recognise that it was Heath ledger who played both the roles. It actually happened with me. I was awestruck when I realised that.
This might be what we need as a species. It would maybe be like a smack in the face to us all to get our shit together and all worry about one single issue . As long as eventually someone figured it out maybe a couple decades of no births wouldn’t be bad. I’m certain it would be great for the planet
Gone Girl's author Gillian Flynn is paid by the mafia to write about mental illness for women. They want to make it evil. Fincher and the CIA are conducting marxist human experimentation/hegemony upon the teenage population. 'The Social Network' the movie is a part of this and the social media platform as well.
I had seen everything Heath had done before TDK came out so I knew and could recognize him very well. Not for one second did I ever (and even now having seen it dozens of times) see him in this movie. He absolutely disappeared into that performance. Nobody’s done it better.
Ultimately, filmmaking isn’t a Director’s art. It’s an Editor’s art. Directors capture, but Editors BUILD the movie from all of the parts. I hope we see more discussions with Editors, and why they make the creative choices THEY do.
But the director is what they called the "Boss" of the film, and Yes the editors and other vfx artist etc also a huge part of the film, but I think the Director is more important, and the director arts is not filmmaking? then why these directors such as Nolan, Scorsese, etc called Filmmaker?
I absolutely ADORE this movie. It’s stunning well-written, acted, and directed, and the VFX are pristine. I would even argue that it helped me get through the pandemic, as I watched it multiple times during that period. So it’s heartbreaking to hear a Director whom I DEEPLY respect, diminish the importance of the very kind of work that I, and many of my friends engage in, within the movie industry.
This movie is impossible without VFX artists. I wish Directors would stop badmouthing the entire post-production department. And FYI, “practical effects” are VFX. There is no movie out there, which fails to use both, in collaboration with each other. IDK what the heck is going on with the DGA and the studios, but they need to stop with this diminishment of more than HALF their staff. It typically takes THOUSANDS of visual effects artists to pull off these movies, and they deserve respect for having delivered 11 of the top 12 grossing films of all time, that could not have been achieved any other way.
Art isnt a woo woo concept!! Arrivals itself is beautiful. It is no surprise how much effort Villeneuve and his cast did behind the scenes to create such a masterpiece. At the same time - it is fascinating to see how art in motion is created when you dont expect it movies.
This movie will stand the test of time. It is a masterwork, and the way the film holds onto the scenes of horror is something modern films have not embraced.
This Joker was impersonal, he never hated the people he killed, he was as much self harming as he was cold and manipulative. He wanted to show the powerful their world is big but could be brought to its knees. His energy was good, he explains his view in one rare coherence.
Once upon a time all humans were the color of healthy, fertile earth. Then a group of angels gave up their first “estate” (meaning body) taking on human like forms. They were only supposed to do this to deliver messages to humans, but this time they did it to take human wives. The children these angels had were abominations, they took on attributes of the angelic forms of their fathers. They were the gods of the Greek, Roman and Egyptian pantheons. And when they die their spirit can not rest, which is where we get demons. Most of the demons died in the flood. But there were more Nephelim after that. And today science agrees that humans mated with another species but they call it Neanderthal. You can look it up, the more white you are the more Neanderthal, aka Nephelim, dna you have. That is where the term “blue eyed devil’ comes from. And why the definition of the other spelling sounds like that.
