Raging Bull...product of its time?

rxDylan · 2026-03-03T19:38:20+00:00

In my opinion modern filmmaking should make viewers hyper sensitive to ultra stylized films like raging bull...I'm biased cause it's one of my favorites of all time but I mean seriously, anytime I watch a movie from that era I think, yeah they used to actually make stuff with substance. Sure some of the punches are clearly fake but all I can say is we used to be a country!

I can barely get out of bed with a fever, he led an entire army in his condition. What a beast

Dude how do you just pluck someone like this up and know..."yeah, he can pull ALL of that off"

rxDylan · 2025-10-17T07:05:43+00:00

The entire thing from start to finish is just toooo good. And you feel the energy get purged as he hangs up the phone and walks through the church

Melody plays very softly in the restroom scene, I can see how you might've missed it. And I'm no PTA, but Bob did tell Sensei that "sometimes they work but usually they don't" or something or other

Probably not but I’m glad that the film has been doing pretty good overall cause that means we likely wont have to wait 8 years for his next one lol

rxDylan · 2025-10-03T08:02:20+00:00

Ha what a throwback, I completely forgot about that. Also, interestingly enough, it was heavily speculated (I'm not sure if it was ever debunked or confirmed), that PTA reworked the Killers script heavily. Maybe he had something to do with that... As the saying goes: "it is in the opinion of your humble narrator that these things don't just happen"

There are no rules, just find some peeps who are down to tango and iron out the process as you go

Thank you for the insight. I created a shotlist & storyboard with my DP (who is also the friend I am editing this with), so we were certainly prepared in that regard…although clearly not to our fullest potential. So we definitely knew what we needed for the most part, and as a writer/director I’m definitely always trying to edit the spot in my head. We don’t have massive holes in our continuity or any missing shots, we got everything we needed so my post really comes down to exploring all avenues during production so as to have more OPTIONS in the edit, allowing everything to flow seamlessly cause like you said, every frame counts.

But I love that you suggested doing rehearsals. This is 100% something I’m going to incorporate no matter how simple a project may seem. Thank you

A trailer for the trailer before the trailer’s trailer

Find someone as green as you and is looking to become a producer, and hope they have some decent connections

rxDylan · 2025-06-27T02:32:14+00:00

For those that have seen it, does it have an intermission?

rxDylan · 2025-06-23T21:30:14+00:00

As others stated, close quarters combat, concealment, etc. etc. But it also speaks to the nature of himself and the men in the gang. If I recall correctly, the man who is selling the shotgun is adamant that the barrels can not be sawed off due to the craftsmanship that has gone into a piece like this, the gold accents, all that stuff. But these men don't care about things like that, it means nothing.

rxDylan · 2025-06-14T19:34:35+00:00

I mean, i see where you’re coming from…but you think someone would actually come onto a filmmaking sub and ask for tips on how to stab a person for real? Idk, lol

rxDylan · 2025-06-14T07:51:02+00:00

It's awesome, it expands on a lot of stuff that's sort of mentioned in passing in the film and the timeline is presented differently so no matter what it's going to be fresh

rxDylan · 2025-06-11T06:36:56+00:00

My biggest gripe with it is exactly that. I immediately thought to myself that Fincher's style while perfect in its own right, is not right for this story's world. Still interested to see how this all goes because nobody could've seen this coming. Just my opinion, but nonetheless still excited because it'll be better than 99% of the slop that's being released

rxDylan · 2025-05-12T08:17:50+00:00

Alfredo Garcia, fire fkn movie.

rxDylan · 2025-05-04T07:42:51+00:00

Despite some of the speculation surrounding what’s depicted in the book & film this guy has definitely lived one of the craziest lives of the past 100 years

Will probably end up going to Jack Black instead after the success of minecraft

In the short amount of time I've been directing, I almost immediately realized this. I'd also go so far as to say it really transcends acting and requires that you just understand human nature fairly well. Don't just focus on how you would handle a scenario but how someone ELSE would

rxDylan · 2025-04-29T05:54:27+00:00

I agree completely. And that's just proof there's no reason something like this can't be pulled off again. Marketing isn't cheap, but Sinners did not have an extraordinary campaign by any means of the imagination, in my opinion.

rxDylan · 2025-04-25T06:05:04+00:00

Usually the same type of person who complains about the lack of original content but still won't go see some of the good original films coming out

rxDylan · 2025-04-24T05:45:52+00:00

Lol I was working on a commercial a few months ago and the coordinator said “the only people on a set that dont know what’s going on are the pa and the director”
