I'm drawing a blank but it's such a cool technique Mia Wasikowska fucked around with this message at 16:24 on Sep 2, 2015 |

Agronox posted:So... Favorite episodes or scenes from the first season? The adventures of mikuru asahina, space waitress. It's in my top 3 for "best first episodes", because it's both a fantastic way to tell you everything this show is about and nothing that this show is about, and how good they are at making it look lovely.

Agronox posted:So... Favorite episodes or scenes from the first season? top 5 would be 1. someday in the rain 2. adventures of mikuru asahina 3. live alive 4. melancholy 4 5. boredom but every episode is good. Spiritus Nox posted:Someday in the Rain was really nice and chill. I don't know if I'd call it a favorite, but it was nice in a different way from a lot of the other episodes. i guess the ending is nice but someday in the rain works for me because it isn't chill at all? or at least uses its atmosphere subversively? imo. it is really oppressive and the way that the characters are framed in empty spaces or against the urban landscape gives it this pervasive sense of loneliness (which is like i've said what i think the show is all about) that's only really matched by endless eight and the first act of the movie. the way they make all the characters look tiny gets back to the thematic points made in melancholy 5 too about how insignificant a person can feel when confronted with a crowd anyway i've suggested that the series makes allusions to the work of taiwanese director tsai ming-liang before in here (whose movies are basically 'about' the same things i think the series is about) but i think this quote is pretty self-evident about how i think they're connected quote:I want to express the failure of erotic desire to be realized in contemporary urban space. I would like to make my films about disappearing, like The Skywalk is Gone [2002] and Goodbye Dragon Inn. The whole theatre is disappearing in that film! This subject is important to me because society changes so fast and everything disappears so fast - historical sites, culture. One day I walked to the area where Lee Kang-Sheng was selling watches [in What Time is it There?], and I realized that ‘the skywalk is gone.’ It happens in Asia like that, things just disappear. People in their forties have no way of finding traces of their childhood. Modern people are afraid of disappearance. Living in Taipei, for example, we constantly have to deal with compelling visual change. We ask the question: what do you love the most? Who do you love the most? You will lose them - it will happen in modern society. My films ask the question: how we can face the disappearance? The loss? endless eight and the movie make this more explicit. also he's also known for his use of long takes and rain as a metaphor which are both prominently featured in the series.

you should. his movies are good. i'd start with what time is it there? and goodbye dragon inn. wayward cloud, vive l'amour and rebels of the neon god are also excellent entry points. his latest movie stray dogs is available to stream on netflix but its also his most obtuse so far, i would not recommend starting there. one of his short movies walker is on vimeo https://vimeo.com/49339358 his movies belong to a movement that academics and people on the internet have tried to codify called slow cinema. they're movies that utilize atypically long takes, minimal dialogue, nonprofessional actors, expressive sound design, and usually concern themes of isolation or alienation in urban or rural landscapes. they move at a snails pace with subtlety and repetition and usually come to a cathartic end. the watered down pop version of this aesthetic would be something like lost in translation. i think endless eight works within a similar temporal framework but in a different way because there is more action, but the same concepts (chantal akerman's jeanne dielman, 23 quai du commerce, 1080 bruxelles may be a better point of comparison from that perspective then) which is why the best way to watch it is in a marathon. i do think that something is there but i'm probably just looking for confirmation bias at this point. i also think the series is influenced by the writing of don delillo, thomas pynchon, and joan didion, the installations and video art of douglas gordon, and the movies of michelangelo antonioni, andrei tarkovsky, and chris marker. i am likely just insane. but thank you for considering entertaining me.

bamboo leaf rhapsody is a really good episode. i'm more interested in revisiting sigh tho because my initial impression of them was that they were pretty weak. but anything after endless eight that wasn't disappearance would necessarily be weak imo

Spiritus Nox posted:See, I thought Haruhi was more of our Shinji here. She's the one who, like Shinji, falls into a period of melancholy brought on by feelings of insignificance, and ultimately attempts to withdraw completely from the real world and all of it's problems and people and problematic people - though, to be fair, she wants to be special/be surrounded by specialness where Shinji seemed to desire to be normal and normalcy. Likewise, while...Shinji's friends/Shinji himself/The Author/whoever causes Shinji to realize that his life means something, or can mean something, and decide that he has self worth and that he wants to keep on living, Kyon helps Haruhi to reaffirm her connection with the outside world, and maybe cause her to rethink her ideas of what makes someone/herself 'special' like she's so obsessed with. I'm so happy about comments like this and everybody saying they are sort-of rediscovering how great Melancholy is.
