modern cinema or cinema in general?
why, what is there to hate
right on.
At first i thought it's modern cinema, but by now i think it pretty much applies to film as a whole
ok
I might guess as to why
well the thing about cinema is that it leaves no room for the imagination
at least modern cinema
Pretty much the only kind of films i can bother watching nowadays are either war films or so called "art films"
human brain has difficulty suspending belief, movies in a way supplant natural intake and assessment
"art films" only if they don't deal with social or sentimental themes
what you see, regardless if film, it becomes a reality in brain assessment of environment and higher thought
umm... art films is a pretty general term
could you elaborate
I have no problem enjoying the cinema
although I do filter my viewing a lot
just watched "The Descent"
hmmm tana bailed. sad.
Film's fatal flaw is it's reliance on conversations
so you enjoy the silent films of old, in a way?
ok have you tried Michael Haneke?
Nope
71 Fragments of a Chronology of Chance was impressive
I recently enjoyed a film by Tarkovsky, called Solaris
But I don't really consider it to be exceptional to my general sentiments about cinema
@Metalheim Have you seen a film called Dr. Caligari?
umm... no
I mean i enjoyed a drumb and bass and trance party i attended couple of weeks ago, which doesnt mean i dont hate trance and drum and bass
well, Haneke is pretty anti-cinematic
there's not much dialogue
@Metalheim Who could blame you? It's the earliest form of German expressionist film.
alright might need to check it out
I am no film-fanatic
I enjoy horror films and Finnish cinema
Dr. Caligari is a name that I've heard somewhere
Is it a horror film?
You could call it that, yes.
It is known for its stylistic sets, sharp angles and comment on Europe in 1920s. Not sure when it was flimed.
ok sounds interesting
wouldn't recommend reading up on it beforehand, spoilers
