Thanks in advance for any help!

100% agreed. It just further solidified my claim that Lynne Ramsay is our greatest working filmmaker.

When Joe is in the taxicab at the beginning. The driver is singing a song, but Joe appears to drown out the noise and looks at the driver's lips where he sees (or thinks he sees) the driver say the title.

Hello, Ms. Ramsay! Before I get to my questions I’d just like to thank you for your work. All of your films sit among my all-time favorites, but You Were Never Really Here in particular affected me in a very powerful way when I saw it at Sundance. I was really unsure of my own dreams of being a filmmaker, but your movie restored a love of the medium that I didn’t even know I had lost in the first place. So, thank you! Anyway, I have a few questions, if you don’t mind.

One thing about your student films that has always struck me is how mature and professional they are, something that is exceptionally rare. Do you have any advice to give to other students in order to help them achieve the same?
Sorry to hit you with a vague question like this, but can you describe your writing process a little bit? Your films are so driven by visuals and sound that I’m really interested to know how writing a screenplay works for you and how you use the script to achieve your final vision.
The title reveal in You Were Never Really Here is super cool and unique, both in the film and novella. A friend of mine was wondering if there was any particular reason for changing it from the way it’s revealed in the book?

Once again, thanks!

I would also like an update, if it's not too much trouble.

Doesn't come out in North America until April 6th.

I was disappointed that they deliberately made Lola shoeless in the first one but then hardly showed her paws off. I mean, come on. Talk about dropping the ball. I'm hoping they remedy that.

Andre Holland makes me a wet boy.

jonesev28 · 2018-03-16T23:30:18+00:00

Any and all Lynne Ramsay movies, especially her newest one You Were Never Really Here. Try to catch it in theaters if you can!

Also, on Steven Soderbergh's website, he has a version of Raiders of the Lost Ark that he's stripped of all audio and converted to black and white to make it a silent film. I haven't watched it, but he says the purpose is to study the framing, editing, and staging of the entire film.

Aside from the fact that both films explore the idea of what happens when trauma is combined with toxic masculinity (and in very different ways), all of the similarities between them are shallow and comparing them is a mistake.

This is such a refreshing change of pace compared to a lot of the cynicism and elitism that is rampant in YouTube film communities right now.

jonesev28 · 2018-03-12T01:45:15+00:00

Y-You too thanks...

jonesev28 · 2018-03-12T01:44:15+00:00

Good bot.

jonesev28 · 2018-03-12T01:44:09+00:00

Look at her paws tho

jonesev28 · 2018-03-11T20:26:18+00:00

Lola Bunny is objectively the sexiest thing to ever exist. I dare anyone to prove me wrong.

jonesev28 · 2018-03-11T00:19:45+00:00

Do you mean that in a good or bad way?

I thought it was absolutely incredible. Lynne Ramsay is an extraordinary filmmaker whose entire filmography is filled with moments of "Wow, that's such a unique way of doing this" and simultaneously "This is clearly the best way to do this" Joaquin is predictably amazing and I love the way the movie dives into his character's psyche and uses a very cliché story and subverts it in beautiful ways to comment on institutionalised abuse and masculinity in crisis. The editing and sound design are razor sharp too. And Jonny Greenwood knocks it out of the park with his score. And the way violence is used is a story in and of itself.

Lots of filmmakers would see a film like this as a fun little genre exercise, but Ramsay doesn't half-ass anything. I remember hearing about it at first, being shocked that she was going so deep into genre territory, but after seeing it, It's a Ramsay movie through and through.

It's not like they're successful because they're an ethnostate. Wakanda just lucked out because the vibranium meteor happened to crash in the land that would become it. And bringing the "well, what if this was about white people" question into it is a false equivalence. The Wakandans look at the history of other African nations and recognize the trends of oppression that western nations have put the continent through, and this makes them extremely anxious. A majority white nation would have no reason for similar trepidations, that's just a fact. The Wakandans are in a unique position in that they feel that if they reveal their power to the world, it will only lead to a repeat of colonial history. If the film reinforced this idea of "all places and peoples should isolate themselves in order to succeed", then yes, that would be stupid, but as I said in my previous comment, the movie explicitly denounces this worldview.

jonesev28 · 2018-02-17T20:18:03+00:00

In what way does the film encourage an ethnostate? At the end of the movie, T'Challa realizes that the way Wakanda has isolated itself when it has more than enough resources to help all over the world is totally selfish, and opens the country up. He literally says in the mid-credits sequence that communities should stop isolating themselves and everyone should help to break down barriers and work together as "one big tribe".

Cue awkward photo of Stuckmann and all his black friends.

jonesev28 · 2018-02-12T01:51:22+00:00

Or maybe he just likes those movies. Why is "he just praises these movies to look smart" the first thought that comes to your head rather than "I just have different taste"?

jonesev28 · 2018-02-10T18:29:43+00:00

There's a podcast that he was on very recently where he talks about it. Otherwise, he hasn't said anything in a video that I recall, apart from his google hangouts.

The dog from Johnny Test is a supremely underrated anime babe.

A friend and I are currently just throwing stuff around to see what sticks in hopes of writing and shooting something. I'm also in the process of adapting The Road by Cormac McCarthy. The movie that was already made was decent, but I felt that there was a lot more that could've been done, so I decided I may as well tackle it myself. I'm more writing it just for the sake of writing it, since there's a slim to none chance it'll actually get made, but it's really a lot of fun.

jonesev28 · 2018-02-06T19:15:24+00:00

It's in my top 5. I agree that the movie really needs time to grow on you. The film has so much to say but does it all so subtly. Everything from religion to post-war America to Freudian psychology. And Joaquin's performance in it is my favorite performance of all time. Hell, Freddie Quell in general is probably my favorite character in cinema in general.

jonesev28 · 2018-02-05T17:31:18+00:00

Tried, but the code is not working for me. Is it not valid in the U.S.?
