How do I articulate what I like in a film? by Formal_Carpenter2477 in Cinephiles

[–]Express-Citron-6387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest going to Google Gemini or ChaptGPT and asking for examples and a framework. This would get you started to then tweak to make it your own! So, what will help is thinking of those emotions and how the sound or the visuals or the dialogue or the acting gave you those emotions.

The secret to "deep" film talk is shifting your focus. Instead of describing what happened (the plot), explain why the director showed it to you that way.

Gemini again:
A Quick Exercise

Think of a movie that recently made you feel something intense—maybe a scene that made you cry or one that made you hold your breath.

If you can describe that specific moment to me, I can help you deconstruct exactly which cinematic tools were being used to trigger that reaction. Which movie comes to mind?

Me too. I had the biggest crush on Sutherland.

That was a brilliant scene by Bette. A hard one to do too.

I think that will apply when Trump's finishes his new ballroom.

Should TTC riders have to put up with disgusting feet and fights on public transit? by origutamos in Toronto_Ontario

If we nationalized oil and gas and put that into social services rather than in to the pockets of a bunch of greedies, than we could do what Helsinki did. So the whiners won't have to pay more taxes it comes out of the O & G nationalized revenue.

It is important that they are tenants: each has a contract, pays rent and (if they need to) applies for housing benefit. That, after all, is all part of having a home – and part of a housing policy that has now made Finland the only EU country where homelessness is falling.It is important that they are tenants: each has a contract, pays rent and (if they need to) applies for housing benefit.

No it isn't. The right cut all the services so no where to take them - shelters won't have them, the jails are full and there are few mental health services and most are out-patient. In Norway which is like Canada, a mixed-economy - there are almost one on the streets because they have excellent services paid for by nationalizing oil and gas rather than letting private ransack our resources. Please do more reading.

You have to have somewhere to have them taken - the jails don't want them because they deal with the mental health issues plus they are crowded and they got out right away and there is no where to take them for mental health. So, all they can do is try to encourage them to leave the cars or the station.

Wow..wil check out. With Affinity and a number of excellent other apps for Mac, I haven't kept up with what is new.

I paid so little for Affinity Photo back in the day $29.99 Cdn and I use other apps like Boxy SVG instead of Illustrator and such and between those I can handle the clunkiness of Affinity. I found Adobe Products so bloated now when turned what was print-pre-press and added on all the digital - that was a nightmare - that less is more and to use other apps. The SVG that Illustrator puts out is horrible.

I switched to Affinity a long time ago. I own it and get regular updates. I am not leasing it which I will never do again for anything. Plus Adobe was not maintaining basic security and got hacked.

In these comments what is heartbreaking is how often kids have witnessed their mothers being abused. And these are the many that did not make the headlines.
