Tokyo Story, one of the greatest films of the 20th Century, a must-watch if you haven't seen it already.
Jordan Morgan
Begone, pleb.

this board is borderline unusable

still not as bad as Yea Forums
Jordan Anderson
Thanks for the recommendation.
I really like films about normal people. Every one has to be a superhero these days.

Oh user, you're going to love Ozu, he built his entire legacy as an all-time great from exploring the everyday lives and stories of people. There's something in-explainable that draws you into his world, it's so easy to lose yourself.
The poor quality of YouTube rips don't really do his work justice, but even the "simple" scenes of his have such a potent effect; nothing exaggerated or blown out of proportion, just real human emotion:

It's actually the man addressing the woman.

I'm not surprised that someone had the same idea, Yea Forums has fallen off a cliff (even if it was a small one at that)

Wtf

If anyone is up for watching short films I highly recommend La Jetée and Ménilmontant. La Jetée was the inspiration for Gilliam's 12 Monkeys and consist almost entirely of still photographs with a narrator. Ménilmontant is interesting because it's a silent films that doesn't use intertitles. That means it relies completely on visual storytelling.
I found both to be incredibly powerful, there's a certain moment in La Jetée where it diverts from using stills and the photograph of a woman turns into video, where she looks straight into the camera. I was caught off guard and the feeling I got was unforgettable. It was as if she was staring right into my soul, and that I was no longer watching a film.
Landon Cruz
Yeah, it got me too. The final death scene (pic related) is a very quick shot. Oon my first viewing, I mistook the protagonist as the Grim Reaper (which is rather fitting, I suppose)
Dominic Phillips
No, but that guy seems based
Alexander Sanchez
What do you think of this cinematography?
Angel Williams
these are the types of images that retarded arthoes like on instagram to convince themselves that they now have a personality. this or some cigarette smoking french bitch in a Godard movie saying "my melancholy is as big as le moon"

The attention span of 2019 Yea Forums is too small to warrant a detailed OP without including memes or meta shitposts
Luis Rogers
what do you autists unironically think are some of the best films of the 2010s
also what are some patrician films that will match the summer heat
both are equally as bad now
Nathaniel Green
Kore-eda really came through with Shoplifters, he's been consistently great for the last two decades. Burning was also a recent favourite.
Leo Young
bumping a thread on Yea Forums is useless, it'll be back on the bottom in 15 minutes anyway.

That's the one where the put the entomologist in a sand pit and force him to bear progeny with a sand dweller woman isn't it?
Joshua Smith
Who /yang/ here?
True, Yea Forums is too quick these days
Yes, it's one of my favourite films (along with pic related)
Carson Gonzalez
Japanese films from that era have an eroticism completely missing in our world.
Bentley Jenkins
Ragnarok was one of the best Marvel movie
Dylan Wood
I'm still trying to parse through this film, it's like a constant barrage of symbolism and subtext on-top of subtext. Extremely interesting, but left me scratching my head at parts. Loss of child, husbands dominance, nihilism of life, the tugging of woman's base desires and religion, that's just a fraction of what I got out of it.
Yeah, a very good encapsulation or a microcosm of of life in general.
Noah Cooper
Does Japan still make movies? Are they Kino?
Jason Robinson
something wrong user?
Jacob Diaz
God dam it looks way better in B/W
Julian Gonzalez
Japan announced last week that it has stopped making movies, I'm sorry user.
Hirokazu Kore-eda is your best bet for modern kino. Takeshi Kitano has also been on-and-off for the past decade or two, and i'm sure that Sion Sono will emerge and once again deliver some pure kino - original six-hour Love Exposure release when?
Gavin Morales
Meiko Kaji's Female Prisoner series is great as well- if the exploitation genre interests, this is a good place to start.
Noah Howard
Kiyoshi Kurosawa can't get funding for original scripts, which is a pity because I love his world.
Parker Hughes
post the moral kombat one now

Thief or Reality is visually very cool but I can't find any (long-term) value in trying to seriously 'unwrap' it and distill an exact meaning. A movie with such rigid symbolism only comes to mean one thing to one person - the director. And if you can't speak Greek there's a chance the translations of the cryptic dialogue aren't capturing the full intended meaning. Trying to understand a movie like this is the same as trying to do a Rubik's cube, which only has a single solution and when you get it, you wonder what the point was aside from entertaining your brain with a puzzle. Now that there's no more puzzle, you discard it and move onto something else. There's no lasting value of something that's almost 100% based on symbolism.

What are their superpowers? Can they fly?

Speaking of Japanese cinema I found myself watching a lot of these in recent days. Besides a healthy dose of monster movies I'm completing the goal of watching all potentially worthwile movies I've never seen. Turns out the next one will be I Live in Fear by Kurosawa. I heard it's one of his lesser projects but I enjoyed all of his movies after Rashomon no matter how small.
Lucas Fisher
The Quiet Duel wasn't bad but it's one of these movies that a taleneted director has to make early in his career before he can do what he wants.
Isaiah Young
I watched Tokyo Story and found it a drag. Felt like one of those "nothing happens" films.
Carson Nguyen
It's the reverse in Japan now. Boomer directors got decades of low budget freedom but now can only make adaptations.
Camden Nelson
I saw the well thing at the top middle, and thought "huh that looks like the pit from Dark Knight Rises'.
Jack Peterson
Truffaut is overrated
Isaac Lee
I'll give it at least one more rewatch, but in no way am I going to try to understand it wholly and you're right, I don't think anyone can understand it completely. There is so much going on there, that I feel I'd benefit from watching it at least once more. I felt not everything was connected to the central motif of the film, a lot of dialogue in it was akin to schizophrenic rambling that seemed to have no connection to any of the themes I was mapping out, more of just passing comments on life in general. I don't think I approach the parsing of films like a Rubik's Cube, I tend to try to form some interpretations without really caring how strongly they're rooted in the real meaning behind the film.
Have you by chance seen Lopushansky's Visitor of a Museum? Another interesting film I really enjoyed. Not as esoteric as ToR, but still very visceral.
Benjamin Johnson
I haven't seen it but thanks for the rec.
Whenever I try to make interpretations I try to have one foot in what I, intuitively, take from the movie, and the other in what the directors/actors/whoever have to say about it - because they're the ones who made it and lived it for a year or however long. Thief or Reality doesn't allow much for that first aspect.

No one here wants to take any topic seriously. It's the reason there's no /art/ and I've nowhere to talk about theatre (except for Yea Forums but that's text-exclusive discussion)
Colton Rogers
This thread is now a MCU thread.
Now tell me what's the collective worth of the box-office made by these old ass B&W films and now compare that to ant-man and now tell me if it has any artistic merit.
Kevin Reyes
Wonderful, thanks.
Adrian Carter
>one of those "nothing happens" films
What does that even mean

I doubt he even watched the film

My little review of this film.
Zhang's return to form. A story centering around the rape of Nanjing, we get a brutal look to the happenings inside a catholic church operating amidst the turmoil.
The juxtaposition of whores in the house of God creates an interesting dynamic, as both students and the women alike try to survive against a common oppressor. Bale's portrayal as a scoundrel turned good was at odds with the rest of the film, I'm thinking partially for the fragmented cultural scope of the film. Half spoken in English and other half divided between Chinese & Japanese. The films female centric struggles were at the forefront, but still shadowed a bit by Bale's presence, Zhang's attempt at making it more marketable overseas no doubt. Being such a touchy subject, seeing the celebration of humanity being done in a tasteful manner, all sides getting some amount of lashes and roses was nice. Staple Zhang ending, misty eyes. I liked it a lot, gave it 8.7/10. If you haven't seen it, I recommend checking it out.
