Hollywood 2024 is just one big homage fest.

Orson Welles said: THE THEATER AND THE CINEMA MUST NOT DEPEND ON THE DIRECTOR 😂😂😂😂...attaboi, Auteur In Chief 😂😂😂😂

Ironically, back in the 30s Orson Welles was a bit the equivalent to Quentin Tarantino in the 90s. A young, controversial director-genius who had seen and read anything that had ever been put to paper, just like people say that young Tarantino already was a walking film encyclopaedia. So when Orson Welles tells us not to watch too many films we would like to define what qualifies as "too many". Having said that, I am pretty certain that Orson Welles is somewhere up there right now thanking the Lord that was put on this Earth before the streaming content age.

it's difficult to do an homage shot well. you have to be using it to say something, for it to work. the example i always use is from "the departed": when she leaves him at the funeral, that's an homage to "the third man" (in which welles himself played that third man, ironically). for me it works because, if you've seen the latter, you know scorcese's using it to indicate she's leaving damon's character forever, that plot is done. it's deft, quick, and clever on scorcese's part. but i agree with welles, that the homage shot is mainly used to say, "look at me, i watched this other movie," without actually adding anything to the story

love it, thank you very much, sir. not just for this one - I've been following your uploads for a while, and they are all amazing!

ten prizvuk je iny hnus, to sa neda pocuvat kurva

Why's the views so low? A legendary director is giving solid advice here.

God I love this man! I wish I could have met him

Spielberg must take issue with that.

it would ve been truth if quentin tarantino never existed)

The issue with this -- and it's the same with writers who don't read enough -- is that rather than being more original they end up being even more hackneyed, as they unwittingly rely on all the cliches they absorb from their milieu, which likely come from popular culture. No one exists in a vacuum, and so true originality comes from recombining familiar elements in new ways, not retaining your innocence in the hope that your fresh eyes, untainted by the influence of your predecessors, will somehow generate something entirely new. This is why virtually every great writer was very well-read. Their knowledge, not their ignorance, meant they had a greater storehouse of ideas from which to create something original.

get off youtube too

Este hombre predijo lo superficial que llegan a ser las personas en la actualidad basando su opinión únicamente por las experiencias vividas a través de cosas que ven en internet; o definiendo como "bueno" algo solo porque un pequeño fragmento hecho edit de lo que sea sobre entretenimiento aparece muy espectacular en tik tok (ya sea un coro sobre una canción que en realidad es aburrida, una escena de acción de una película vacía o una jugada de algún deportista)

Well said, Mr. Greenaway! Anyone who hasn’t seen any of his films should avail themselves of the opportunity to do so at the earliest possibility! The Draughtsman’s Contract, The Cook The Thief His Wife and Her Lover, The Belly of an Architect, A Zed and Two Noughts, The Baby of Macon…

Perfect

Wow

[Zhizhek] is right.

...and people say Tarantino is an egomaniac. I despise pretentious filmmakers like this, genius my ass. Snobby little film schoolers and old critics need to stop blindly sighting pretentious and overly complicated and dramatic filmmakers like this as geniuses.

I think that Lynch knows what he is doing. He is a superconventionalist.

If artists applied the same level of scrutiny to their process that critics do to the final product, they would never get anything done. At some point, you do have to just trust your gut while creating and then let others have the final word on whatever you make. It really can't be any other way. That being said, I think Lynch is more intentional than he oftens lets on in (most) interviews. But it's clear he doesn't want to overdetermine the experience of viewing his work for anyone because he's committed to the idea that wrestling with mystery is the whole point of approaching art. No doubt if Zizek ever made a film or painting of his own, he'd quickly find that running around telling people what to think about the work would quickly neuter its impact.

So good. Thanks for this. Why do I feel like smoking all of a sudden?

Super reductive assertions here

I don't believe a word of what he is trying to say

Coverage is for the cowards - Yes.

Thank you.

Maybe a better concept for the "religion" of believers would be something like the "transcendent". If no one believes in the spiritually transcendent, there is no common universal language that people can work with on a deep human level to explain, analyze, and then work towards alleviating common suffering. I think it's easier to share these ideas in a common transcendent framework, though, hence the focus on organized religion-- but it doesn't need to be that.

Genius

poster boy zizek

Zizek loves to call people stupid, what would Lacan say about that. Lynch is purposely enigmatic. Like great musicians a different kind of intelligence produces great art. Even Listening to Lynch explain his process is more compelling than Zizek's dissection, using meditation to explore the vast subconscious which inspires his art, he then uses the relatively paltry intelligence ( that Zizek celebrates) to craft works those explorations into art that inspire millions

Shamefully I’m interested in what Lynch’s politics are

Lynch is not unconscious and he is deliberate . Read his one sentence introductions to twin peaks episodes

The goat

塔可夫斯基说的很隐晦，毕竟这是访谈，而不是深思熟虑的写作。他的想法可以用列夫托尔斯泰伯爵的观点进行解释：所有的艺术作品，目的都是传授或者提升受众的道德，否则 便是伪艺术。

Exactly 💯

I've worked with directors who don't know what shot they want, so they shoot... EVERYTHING. From every angle with 50 takes and it's still the same forgettable, shitty script.

I feel like most of people got this wrong, its not about religion as much as belief, he explains that art comes from meaning, of course it could be religion but it could be anything, I don't really know but i feel like it isn't as plane as just religion

One of my favourite directors in cinema. Top shelf absolutely. Fascinating stuff hearing him talk about his process and how disciplined it was. When I ever I think of Lean, I think of a photograph of him, where his eye is up to the viewfinder of a camera and it is an extreme close up of him attached to the camera essentially. A shot I feel now encapsulates his focus and determination to making movies.

The second best director to shoot a film in that town

Just watching videos on TH-cam about filmmaking whether it is about the deeper meaning, artistic part of films or the technical aspect. Watching other people's thoughts on films is great to develop our own thinking because it introduces us to new perspectives which broadens our own perspective and also learn the technical aspect such as editing, cinematography, directing, costume, effects and writing from channels like StudioBinder. Reading a lot of books can also help us in terms of writing, what kind of themes we want to tell and also about how these themes are told through the story in the form of metaphors, allegories. Watching a lot of films will also help and helps us understand about a lot of things. We can make films on our own nowadays with just a phone. I am not a professional filmmaker or that i never even seen a real camera used for filmmaking but I do make videos in my tab with music playing in the background which is how I learn. I don't know if my filmmaking career will ever be real but I enjoy making these videos, it's not put on TH-cam or anything. I shoot things that come to my mind like shooting a cat eating food or something, it makes us learn on how to frame the scene, what to add, what to leave behind. I just pause to cut things. That's my film school. I always wanted to be in a film school but the only way to actually make films is by being practical and make stuff. I don't know how helpful this is but yeah that's just my opinion.

I remember reading Notes from the Underground the first time and I couldn't believe that a character like The Underground Man could exist or even be thought of in the 1800's, out of my Gen Z naiveté. Fyodor Dostoevsky was a genius, for sure. Reading classic literature and understanding its importance is vital and symbiotic with the art of cinema.

Carl Davis composed an orchestral score before Carmine Coppola did, and his version has been seen by more people. Sorry Mr Coppola.

I find it somewhat ironic that he speaks about the film while actually holding the BFI Blu-Ray of Kevin Brownlow's version.

That reminds me, did Yuri Norshteyn ever finish «The Overcoat»? Guess I’ll look that up.. Edit: still unfinished as of 2024, and he started production in 1981.. guess we’ll never see it completed.

I wonder what Orson would've thought about Tarantino's movies.

More than than anything, his statement is an ode to have creative and critic thinking. My critic thinking says I won't listen to him.

The hollow dialogue and clumsy homages of Tarantino last 2 decades show this well, as his early work was infused with influence his creativity made them original. The beginning of Basterds is so film schoolish and blatantly an homage to John Ford that it doesn't fly. It's like an assignment, and boring. He's talented but now another Hollywood celebrity.
