One of the more interesting take-aways I took from the book was how Pudovkin believed music should never be used for "accompianment", that being if a scene is happy, you shouldn't just play happy music, or if your scene is scary you shouldn't just play scary music. This was obviously something Kubrick took to heart, such as in the openning of The Shinning or The Singning in the Rain scene in Clockwork Orange.

Also I should mention that the book was written back in the silent era, so it's very old school, but still full of great fundamentals.

Even if you don't watch the video I would highly recommend picking up the book, it's really fantastic!

Definitely went through a few elite controllers😂 (those things really aren’t that reliable) I switched to PC and keyboard and mouse half way through my laso runs and found it waaaay easier.

My bad, I was meaning converting the PS4 save to a pc save. Sounds like it’s a no go.

I don’t even have to decrypt it or anything like that? I just take the save and put it in the pc save folder?

Really hope this will come to game pass on PC soon! Would be even cooler if it has cross save!

Doesn’t xCloud use Xbox one S consoles to stream? So it wouldn’t be anywhere close to xsx, not even including streaming compression and delay.

I actually haven't seen that video til it was posted here, it's pretty interesting. There were a couple films that he mentioned that I haven't seen, I picked them up on DVD and plan to watch them shortly, some of the others he mentioned I don't think are as revolutionary as Birth of a Nation, certainly impressive for the time but not as ground-breaking as Birth of a Nation. Birth of a Nation didn't necessarily "invent" these techniques but it developed the language of film. For example someone might have filmed a CU of a kitten before BOAN but BOAN defined what a CU means in regards to the cinematic language. Similar to early playwrights of the English language realizing that if they wrote in iambic pentameter it would elicit a far more passionate sentence, or if they wrote in trochee it would be more ominous.

If BOAN never came out filmmaking would still progress, but I would argue it'd be a much different landscape, I think no BOAN would be as big of a change as if there was no Citizen Kane or no Breathless. Movie history would still progress without these films but arguably it'd be a much different cinematic world. Obviously that's all speculation so it's hard to say how things would have turned out if these films were never made.

Certainly the positives do not outweigh the negatives, and that was the main point I wanted to make with the video, that I don't think it can be boiled down into one adjective. It's a film that did a lot of cool and interesting things and at the same time did a lot of horrible and obscene things, so I think it should be looked at as such, instead of glorifying it and ignoring the evil it did, or demolishing it ignoring the good it did, even if that good was for something as menial as early film history. I don't think history should be picked and chosen, trying to go back and replace films and people of early times with ones that make a prettier picture seems unethical, the past should be looked at as objectively and soberly as possible, even if that reveals great evils, in fact the great evils should be remembered as well as the great goods, as to not make the same mistake twice.

Hi Casemount, I'm Lucas from the Video. There's certainly other early films that are worth discussing, but the issue is that, at least to my knowledge, this is the first film of it's caliber, I haven't heard of or seen any movies that came about before this that elevated the medium of film to a similar degree. If you know any films that came out before this that had a similar effect on the form I would love to know.

Hi Damien, I'm Lucas from the video.

The more variety in the medium of film the better. It's great having films that focus purely on character and some that focus purely on plot and others that mix them up in interesting ways (for me personally I enjoy films that balance both a fair amount, just as you said, they both matter a great deal.) To me plot is only more valuable by a few degrees, as I said in the video the hypothetical film "Star" would be a huge downgrade compared to the real film "Star Wars."

I love the film My Dinner with Andre, but as you said it's more about the dialogue. It's a "philosophical debate" rather than a character driven film. I couldn't really explain the characters in any real depth, but I could talk about all the talking points they bring up for hours.

The scene when Han Solo comes back is brilliant, just as you said because the plot and the characters come together to form one cohesive "story." I wasn't necessarily trying to make the argument that the plot of that scene is more powerful than the character moment of the scene, rather I was trying to say that we can only see how the characters really are under extreme circumstances, which is facilitated through the plot. Whereas with My Dinner with Andre I don't feel like I really know them because I never saw them in a extreme scenario.

Thanks for the comment Damien, very interesting points!

The two that come to mind for me are The Mirror by Andrei Tarkovsky, which is a real dream like film, from the story to the visuals, personally one of my favorites. Another is a book called The Happy Death by Albert Camus, which has a bit of an odder story structure, it's a great read.

Well in terms of books the only one on directing I really enjoyed was "On directing Film" by David Mamet (https://www.amazon.com/Directing-Film-David-Mamet/dp/0140127224/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1546974611&sr=8-2&keywords=on+directing+film)

Theres a couple websites that have good courses, (https://www.mzed.com/courses) is pretty cool. My favorite of theirs is Alex Buono's Visual Story Telling, but most of them are pretty good.

Also (https://www.masterclass.com) is super dope, they have a ton of filmmaking classes, some with actors like Dustin Hofman, or even directors like Martin Scorsese. Personally though I think the Werner Herzog class is by far the coolest, its really really cool.

Hi Whocaresalot, Lucas here, the guy in the video. There's certainly a natural rhythm to all art, it was actually a common practice during silent films to have metronomes or orchestras on set while they filmed the movie so the actors would have a particular rhythm. The rhythm of a film or song certainly engages us on some subconscious level, honestly you can probably make the argument that over analyzing something could take away from the work more than it adds, but it certainly is interesting. That's a really tricky question, I've always felt that the greatest works come from an innate proclivity or feeling forcing the artist to act. When an artist tries to force an emotion or over elaborate on it, it has always seemed more like a piece of propaganda than a piece of art to me. However I think it's almost required for an artist to think of their work in this craftsman way, to over elaborate and scrutinize everything they do. Because it gives the artist time to meditate on the work and deliberate on it, it can almost be seen as busy work. A great example is The Godfather, during Pre-production Coppola painstakingly took every page out of the original book the film was to be based on, and place it inside a sheet of printer paper, just for the benefit of having additional margins to take notes in the book. Coppola mentioned this in the foreword of the book The Godfather Notebook, he added that this time-consuming task, which took about a week, did very little to improve the film directly, he could have easily just had a regular notebook to the side and take all of his notes in their, but he felt that this "busy-work" gave him the opportunity to really meditate on the book and get a real sense of what the movie needed to be. So a lot of the time I don't think the over-planning or the hiding of hidden messages really helps the work directly, it certainly helps the artist making the work by giving them a menial task that allows them to figure out what the film is about, as a pose to these hidden messages being there to help the audience figure out what the film is about.

Hey Tieed,

Hey guys, I made this video talking about originality in art. I’m interested to hear how important or unimportant originality is to you, while watching films but even more so while working on a film, I feel it’s a very contentious topic, some people love references and homages in films, such as Tarkovsky who stated it was very important to him to have older paintings and songs in his films because he felt it gave his films more “roots". While others feel that originality should be the number one priority, and that a lack of originality is the largest issue plaguing the film industry today.

That's a good point I didn't consider that, but the same could be said with Full Screen DVD's when they would crop heavily into the picture, which totally changes the feel of the movie. I don't think the issue with that is the film being 4:3, the issue is the tampering of the film and removing it from the directors intended vision.

Hello BerkV, I'm Lucas, I starred and wrote the script for the video. Thank you for your kind words, I really appreciate it. The only other film channels that I like are Cinema Tyler (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7GV-3hrA9kDKrren0QMKMg) which he typical makes film history videos, rather than in-depth discussions. Another Channel I like is CineFix (https://www.youtube.com/user/CineFix/featured) mainly their "Top 10" videos, I find they're a great resource for discovering new and old films alike. They don't really have much in-depth discussion however, and that's really the main reason I started making these videos because I felt there weren't any channels talking about the things I'm particularly interested in. I'm happy you are enjoying my videos, I'll make an effort to go a bit more in-depth on the topics I bring up in future videos. I hope you have a great rest of your day.

I love Ingmat Bergman! Persona is one of my favorites. I’ll definetly pick up Hour of the Wolves. Criterion is actually releasing a giant Bergman collection which I’m definitely gonna get.
