Kanine posted:its a video game not a movie but like Currently playing the outer wilds and it does this thing where the elements of the theme song are spread out between different characters in different locales/planets. So when you walk past one npc they are playing a simple banjo tune, or a flute, or some bongos And your player character has a device that can hear across the expanses(it is set in a small scale solar system) between the NPCs. Given that the game is in space and does its best to model orbits and gravity, occasionally NPCs are in line with each other and you get to hear the full theme song by virtue of orbital mechanics, it sort of fades in and out in this really poignant way

In S T A L K E R by tarkovsky Around 50:05 https://youtu.be/Kgocncu6MBw I implore you to look at the clip before despoilering, in there is this scene that tracks up to a busted car, and peers through the window, frames the characters. But there is a bit of rubble that looks a bit like a gun, The whole thing has a mood of distrustworthyness and it sorta comes out of nowhere and makes you think there is an armed character stalking them. It just caught me off guard and I was suckered into the movie

Pissed Ape Sexist posted:Dude that is not rubble and you're absolutely supposed to notice it. I can't tell if you're being sarcastic but it's the entire point of the shot Well aware it's the point, and that, visually it's about as blunt as a sledgehammer. but that the entire thing is communicated visually, and that I could probably show someone on the street and them not "get it". But it's totally and undeniably there makes it a favourite moment ElBrak posted:Ya, it's a German MG-34, which as a Russian movie company you probably could get cheap as props by digging them up out of the ground. I meant rubble in the sense that it isn't a manned machine gun and for intents and purposes it might aswell be a pipe that was dug up, and that I may or may not have seen it in a less than optimal quality first time round Jestery has a new favorite as of 22:44 on Sep 13, 2019 |

Just the whole thing is what I'm referring too. The whole scene is full visual language and tone to unsettle and make the viewer uncomfortable That there is such a lot to unpack, but that it is all exactly there is sort of the grand idea I am pointing at.

Hard ticket to Hawaii The whole movie is a brilliant exercise in good-bad cinema Buuuuuuut A. The intro credit sequence is very very good, with it being a box factory/postage center with the credits appearing very organically in the scene B.One of the climactic scenes where the female protagonist is having to assemble a spear gun in a closet while the wounded antagonist is breaking through a flimsy door. It is weirdly suspenseful and engaging, These two  moments have no place in a film where a blow up doll is blown out of the sky with a rocket launcher

Oh I forgot to mention, This isn't exactly subtle, but more just fun interpretation John Wick uses sign language a little in the second film I use (my country's) sign language in my day job and I can say with some degree of authority that Keanu signs and woodenly as he acts

Zwille posted:The deaf assassin (wasn’t she supposed to be deaf?) signs just as woodenly though, as always when a hearing character plays a deaf one. If anything Reeve‘s acting is more realistic because Wick actually is hearing. (This should go in the pet peeves thread: any show/movie where they have hearing people play deaf people. It always looks like poo poo) Speaking of deaf assassins the claw Hammer Lady and karambit guy in the raid two are a very cool couple signing characters

I really enjoyed the naturalistic acting and directing There are a few moments in tarkovksy's films where the actor accidentally drops or fumble with something, that the camera keeps going while it's being sorted really adds to a sense of verisimilitude This whole sequence with the railcar is great (33:00) https://youtu.be/Kgocncu6MBw

Speaking of weird action movies based on children's toy franchises The hi Joe film is bad, but the action is choreographed so as to look like a child is playing with toys The way keeps flip over, jets just pull 180° turns and shoot down missiles The movie just didn't go far enough

Putting my effort post from CD here because people may appreciate itJestery posted:I recently watched Vanilla ice's "Cool as ice" and was pleasently suprised by the camera work and general vibe the film had going on. Far from being a slapped together star vehicle , it is plain to see that effort and talent went into the creation of this film. This juxtaposition between incredibley competent camerawork and staging and vanilla ice's "b-kool" attitude is an enjoyable one.

That same Niel has two female ends of the seatbelt on the chopper ride over and then types them together is pretty pointed when you think about it

I got this confused and checked it up I'm an interpreter by trade so this less autistic than it appears. "To have" in this context conjures the past perfect tense implying specific knowledge of the temporal nature of the activity of "I have run the marathon this morning" Vs "I ran the marathon some time ago" "Yes I have eaten the Danish" Vs "I ate the Danish sometime ago" "I caught the bus on Wednesday" Vs "I catched the bus to school when I was a student" As I said it's not an exact science, and I deffo got it wrong up there. But that is the general jist of the "to have" and "run ran" . English is messy and I wanted to avoid getting into deep tense talk cos it sucks Content tax: I have been on a Jackie Chan marathon lately And I've noticed an interesting commonality in his films Often during a tense scene he will carry some object between scenes, like a broken vase or paper, it's surprisingly effective at maintains tension and gives energy to the next fight scene something to start from Jestery has a new favorite as of 10:24 on May 15, 2020 |

Ghost Leviathan posted:One of the many insane things about English is that the only consistent rules it does have (Mainly related to sentence structure and adjective order) are ones that its speakers are not consciously taught and are not aware of at all. This is definitely the bane of having listen to people talk all day and do the interpreter thing. You definitely hear these mistakes and it's very " You are doing it wrong "
