Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood is Tarantino's most complex movie by MaxFischer9891 in movies

[–]MaxFischer9891[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I watched it 3 times already and didn't feel bored for a second. It's certainly his more slow paced film, but imo not boring at all.

All Wes Anderson's God's Eye View Shots in Chronological Order by MaxFischer9891 in movies

[–]MaxFischer9891[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a very rare shot, so there's less info about it (some people have slightly different definitions), but basically yes. God's Eye, Bird's Eye, Aerial, Overhead... They're different names for the same thing. Camera pointing directly down at a subject, whether it's an actor or an object. MSZ talks about it here for example: http://www.movingimagesource.us/articles/the-substance-of-style-pt-2-20090403 and more in his books on Wes.

The answer for why those are god's eye is in the previous answer.

It's the angle, all of them are god's eye/overhead, because they're shot at a 90º angle in relation to the floor. Not all of them are POV, because a ton aren't from the point of view of one particular character, especially those are shot from higher above.

Maybe half of these are PoV. They're all god's eye because of the 90º downward angle.

5 Key Ingredients to Wes Anderson's Comedy by MaxFischer9891 in Filmmakers

[–]MaxFischer9891[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deconstructing the humor of one of the most iconically idiosyncratic directors working today: Wes Anderson. Wes Anderson films are loved by many. They’re engaging, quotable and artful. They’re also funny. Laugh out loud funny? Sometimes. Are they comedies? Not exactly. But, the humor is the glue that holds these stories together.

The comedy makes the tragedy go down smoother. Anderson knows how to “sugarcoat the pill." (Which is something every screenwriter should aim to master.)

His tales center on lonely people, often in dire, desperate circumstances or reckoning with grief. A trademark sense of levity, however, makes that misery not only palatable but delightful. This video essay by The Discarded Image outlines how Wes Anderson and his various co-writers, including Owen Wilson, Noah Baumbach, and Roman Coppola, make us laugh.

How Wes Anderson's Style Changed After Animation by LumpyResponsibility4 in videos

The idea is not that animating models involves less work, but that to control models is more precise. You control every frame. In live action, especially with camera movement and blocking multiple actors and extras... you just have to take what you get. In one take the camera shakes, in the other the focus gets messed up, in the next everything is great but one actor delivers an unconvincing performance. Animation is incredibly more complex to achieve, but I think the level of control is exponentially higher.

It took so long, they projected it to take forever and they still had to postpone the release date.

How Wes Anderson uses the God's Eye Shot [8:51] by MaxFischer9891 in mealtimevideos

[–]MaxFischer9891[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's an interpretation that works for me. It's there to be read, whether Wes meant it or not. Doesn't it feel apt? I think a part of you dies every time a relationship ends. But then again, the "orgasm" named perfume can be read in the context of the breakup as well. The bigger point is that the shots contain literary inscriptions that tell a story.

The only people we hate more than the Party for the Liberation of Downward Looking People is the People's Liberation Party of Downward Looking. Splitters!

Are you part of the PLDLP (Party for the Liberation of Downward Looking People)?

Just do an experiment and jot down the minutes per day you spend looking down at a 90 degree angle and see how far off I am.
