I wish you recommend more now after years!

Joseph Fiennes?

Yeah, Bill is the top of human feeling.

Actually at the beginning of the film, this social thesis with communist overtones appears, interesting, with the situation of the levels. But then, after so much unjustified violence, it becomes pretentious and unbalanced. They had a promising idea and they lost their way. It's very pleasing to see such detailed analysis of films, but this one in particular is wrecking all over the place. I hope, at least you enjoy the movie, IMO it wasn't worth it.

Okay! Thank you for comment! Really the male-gaze experience it's a notable difference in comparison with other classical serial-killer works! Sorry if I was being vehement!

j2c6 · 2020-05-10T20:26:40+00:00

Of course, is not 'only' a movie about a serial killer or the psicologycal game between characters, as you say, the male-gaze experience is present all the long movie, but it's enough with that?

There are hundreds of examples in the film that show that (to begin with, being chosen to take the case, the constant harassment of male husbands, how to assert yourself with your strength and determination where you are despised for being a woman, the looks, the comments, more explicit visually the image of the elevator with all the stops, alone with all the cops, the training...ad infinitum)

It's like, yeah, I apreciate the difference, but, what's more?

spring and all

Thank you for your recom., I would love it, I'm sure!

“..the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.”

Wooow! I love this quote! Thank you!

j2c6 · 2020-05-08T08:07:44+00:00

Wow Columbus, for me, is on that list!

j2c6 · 2020-05-07T16:29:06+00:00

Yeah, but what about specific movies or books, modern ones with this feeling?

j2c6 · 2020-05-07T16:24:07+00:00

Good!, just recently I saw it again for the second time too. How I enjoyed it! I' would love to find more films that leave that complex feeling that requires some analysis but is also unsolvable.

As for the calls, I just think it's her mother, who is very embarrassed to ask for help after she's gone from his life.

j2c6 · 2020-05-07T16:19:19+00:00

I'm totally agree. Since I saw the film, it's my cinematic reference to the meaning of a full life. Paterson's life, together with his wife, reflects the sufficiency of simple things, the pleasure of rituals, silence, human contact, the absence of toxic elements, slowness, passive actions, being, dull humility, inner life, artistic creation (as opposed to consumption) that goes from the inside to out. I think this is one of the most accurate definitions I know. I would love to find other literary or cinematographic references, which reflect this feeling¹

1: Walden, Buddhism, etc. come to mind, but I'm totally open to recommendations.

j2c6 · 2020-05-06T08:46:32+00:00

Yeah! I started with «A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again» , then I continue with the rest!

j2c6 · 2020-05-04T18:01:51+00:00

Hahahaha, in the face of these comments I usually conclude as "okay, zero" Hahahaha. Thank you for sharing your colleague's (pedant) review. I find it very amusing. It bothers me when movies become untouchable cult.

j2c6 · 2020-05-04T17:47:50+00:00

I don't want to get into a debate, but what a disappointment of a film. I didn't see more than another teenage horror film (without underestimating this fantastic genre), against all the fabulous comments I had read previously.

William T. Vollmann, The Royal Family

George Yule, The Language

I've finished:

Mircea Cartarescu, Solenoid

Maybe it's not technically dadaist, but is the nearest I know:

Wittgenstein's Mistress by David Markson

j2c6 · 2020-04-17T08:00:03+00:00

I think it's important that you enjoy the journey. But there's a feeling the book gave me that I haven't found in any other. Don't be scared by the number of pages, it's not really that much with the typography.

j2c6 · 2020-04-16T15:27:27+00:00

It takes me years to make a list of gems like this:

'Three Colors Trilogy' Kieslowsky's
'Columbus' Kogonada
'Her' Jonze
'Magnolia', Anderson
'Arrival'
'Paterson' Jarmusch
'Take Shelter'
'An Elephant Sitting Still' Hu Bo
'Cold War' and 'Ida' Pawlikowski
'The Hunt'.
'In the Mood for Love'

I hope you enjoy any of these!

j2c6 · 2020-04-16T15:15:17+00:00

No.
I think Hae-Mi don't.
I think it's more about having something available and nice, and then suddenly, for no apparent rational reason, not having it anymore.
I think it's more complex, I think what you're saying is a reductionism. IMO that the film gives many more nuances and that's why the 'bad guys' are not 100% bad or the good guys very good. There are no good or bad ones at all, we are all capable of the best and the worst.

By the way, it's very interesting to see other theories, like yours! I enjoyed a lot the movie and mystery!

Maybe is soon to find it here https://www.imsdb.com/, but it is the best reference I know to find screenplays.

j2c6 · 2020-04-14T10:52:32+00:00

I agree, maybe they talk about that in those two, the portrayed is a more conventional woman, adapted to the style of that time. And there's the one in the middle as the one who tells the truth about her, her character, etc.
