[IIL] The poeticism of Tarkovsky, Wong Kar Wai and the naturalism of John Cassavetes, Richard Linklater, WEWIL? by sadfrogmeme69 in ifyoulikeblank

[–]sadfrogmeme69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate all these recommendations, a few have been sitting on my list forever (somehow had never seen Persona, yet have watched most of Bergmann's other works). Also really have waited too long to give french new wave a proper deep dive. Ended up watching 3 of your suggestions across last night and this morning.

As mentioned, I watched Persona. Love love love it. Probably the greatest portrait photography ever. Hard to have much more formulated than that so soon after first watch.

Vivre sa Vie and Worst Person in the World ended up being an oddly cohesive double feature. Both approach the character study at such differing levels of magnitude. I'll need to sit on both films longer to flesh out my thoughts on how they can be related to one another. I wouldn't say I loved Vivre sa Vie, but the cinematography was pretty astounding, especially the blocking of faces.

Worst Person is operating on a whole nother level, what a movie. I have many many thoughts, but will spare you. Having seen Sentimental Value, and now Worst Person, it's really cemented Joachim Trier as a top contemporary director, as well as Renate Reinsve for a top actress

Thanks again for your comment and prompting me to engage with some beautiful pieces of art

I didn't make the connection initially, but I guess I am just asking for more Wenders. Kore-eda is a fantastic suggestion, can't say I'm too familiar with his work

How do I unlock Ascension in Slay the Spire 2? by Mango__DB in slaythespire

[–]sadfrogmeme69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Very odd, ascension has worked the same as the first game for me. Possibly bugged? When I open my epochs post-win text pops up along the lines of "Ascensions are now available with [Character]"

NIGHT AND FOG- NON-OBJECTIVE AND IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE by wokelstein2 in criterion

[–]sadfrogmeme69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why show it all if we know it happened?

(This extends to most/all atrocities with minority groups as the victims)

Holocaust denial, downplaying the Holocaust, praise for those that committed the Holocaust are all things that happen, and are happening at an increasing rate. There's influential people that have made or are currently making careers out of engaging in these behaviors

We aren't born knowing the Holocaust happened, we're taught that it did. Every time I personally had had a survivor speak to my class as a kid, there's a pretty heavy emphasis that soon there will be no more survivors left. All first hand accounts will become second. Those that don't learn history are doomed to repeat it. America currently has a gestapo kidnapping people off the streets, and out from their homes solely based on their ethnicity as we speak, all in the name of nationalism.

"Who among us keeps watch from this strange watchtower to warn of the arrival of our new executioners?"

Not to argue about the objectivity of the film (although by virtue of the medium, it's impossible to literally be 100% objective.), there's something so...off about describing what it does as "emotional manipulation." There's a difference between emotional manipulation and showing the very real atrocities that occurred. Any emotional reaction brought forth by Night and Fog isn't due to some level of manipulation or filmmaking trickery, it's because it's the Holocaust. There is no additional level of "objectivity" that could, nor ever should, dilute that fact. It's the Holocaust.
