Antichrist FTW

One of the best portrayls of the horrors that men commit against women. How disgusting we are to them.

..THA F*CK????

You didn't get that Willem Dafoe was the bad guy? That his own arrogance harmed his wife? That she needed treatment?

She was schizophrenic you boob. I thought that that was clear. He didn't care about her.

And now I'm sad. The ending to Antichrist is one of the best I've ever seen.

It speaks volumes.

I'm killing Miranda in my next playthrough for that.

All those women, harmed by men rising up and taking charge?

You find that offensive?

Are you serious? That's what the scene in the woods means. All of those women finally rising up.

[krukow]

Nope. I don't care if it was trying to make a point, that film is disgusting and vile and people who like it should be shot and their estates used to feed the hungry.

That's the point. To be disgusting. To make you apalled. They gave us a reference books to look at when I saw it. One of the most eye opening was a book called "Extraordinary Popular Delsions and the Madness of Crowds."

Everything that happens to Charlotte Gainsbourg in that film can be found in that book.

It's supposed to be horrible. You aren't supposed to like it. No one does.

Elvis Costello's Pump it Up just came on the Radio.

What does that remind you of krukow?

It's not like something like Schindler's List or The Wire (the apex of the visual medium) where the horror I see has a point.

Lars is just showing a bunch of gross stuff to get attention (to distract from the fact that he can't connect with an audience) and hiding behind making a "point".

Exactly. I would never defend his showmanship in that regard. NO ONE likes those scenes. Don't ever assume that I do. That's just who Lars is. He does it because he loves to troll the audience in the worst way possible. Go watch his other films.

Schindler's List isn't taken very seriously where I come from. I don't really like it myself. Too much forced emotion. That little girl in the red? She's as bad as the boy in the vent. Don't even get me started on the historical inaccuracies.

The Thin Red Line is better than Saving Private Ryan.

SPR takes it's opening scene from another film called Ran made in 1985. Spielberg went so far as to literally copy a scene from it. It involves a man holding his own severed arm.

Apocalypse Now is better than all of them.

Fair enough, it was just a movie that sprang to mind when I thought of good movies with terrible visuals.  I haven't actually seen it since it was in theaters.

Saving Private Ryan is better than Thin Red Line for one reason:
It changed how war movies are filmed.  The immersive action scene style it created remains to this day.  I had never reacted as viscerally to a movie as I did to SPR.  I actually decided not to try to go to westpoint/anapolis because of that movie.


Also, my main point is that The Wire is the greatest visual narrative ever done, TV or Cinema.  I really hope you've seen it.

Incorrect. People have been using hand held cameras in war sequences for decades. Stanley Kubrick used them in Paths of Glory. Guess which Kubrick film is Spielberg's favorite?

Go watch Akira Kurosawa's Ran. Look for the sequence at the fort about...an hour in. Notice the grotesque violence? The horror involved? That's where Spielberg got the opening from. Right down to the man with the severed arm. Spielberg openly admits that he takes things from Kurosawa.

Spielberg did one thing for Cinema. He gave us the summer blockbuster. Past that he's only really been an advocate for special effects.

You have a Jack doll, don't you?

Lol, nope sorry. My point was, the moral high ground people seem to think we have on the talimancers was lost a long time ago.

And to be honest I think that Tali doll was meant as a joke and we were to self righteous to realize it as such, myself included.

I don't have time for such monikers. Good night. 



But you're right about the films Nihlus.

Spielberg connected with the audience.  That's the most important part of ART.  For all the talent, creativity, awesomeness of the people you like, they failed to do this.  They're trees falling in the forest.  Did they make a sound?

Akira Kurosawa did more for Cinema than Spielberg will ever do. EVER. This is not debatable.

You want foreign film recommendations? Go watch an Akira Kurosawa film.

Kurosawa not only connected with the audience he changed the way films were made. Rashomon is getting a new release in a few months. Watch that film.

Once again. Good night.

My favorite film of Spielberg's is still Jurassic Park.

Go ahead, STRIKE ME DOWN.

great film

but c'mon, Jaws!  Raiders!  Close Encounters!

[krukow]

Agreed. Aliens in Indy is as bad as Miranda sitting out the reaper war to listen to emo music, cry about her sister, and cut herself.

And we all know that's what Walters implied...

[krukow]

To be fair, it's entirely possible that Liara would have HINDERED Miranda's search.

She is the most useless shadow broker ever...

[lillitheris]

And, once again, somehow it’s Liara’s fault. It must be tiring to only have one arch-nemesis.

She’s clearly the best Shadow Broker ever, reaching across the boundaries of imagination to infiltrate BioWare to expand her role.
