Film is the language of dreams…of course the leftist hack thinks all movies should be verbose and unwatchable political screeds. Godard is so overrated and his jealousy of far greater filmmakers is laughable. He wasn’t even the best “New Wave” director. Demy, Varda, and Resnais understood the language of film much better than Godard. And spare me those quick “edits” in Breathless as if he invented the wheel. Take any Kubrick, Hitchcock, Kurosawa, or Bergman film and they’re doing things Godard could never conceive of. Just look at all the novel film inventions in Citizen Kane…Wells practically invented modern filmmaking but we’re supposed to be impressed by some jump cuts in Breathless?!? GMAFB. Godard is the quintessential pretentious director for pretentious cinephiles. FIN
Jean-Luc Godard on why he didn't like the movies of David Lynch:
"Ah, I really don't like his style at all. Lynch's dreams only speak of him. In my opinion, in his films, there are beautiful images, from a photographic point of view, and yet the image has disappeared. On the enigma of the dream, the oneiric of life, I prefer to read Edgar Poe.
I have nothing against dreams. It's part of yourself. I don't know if it should be used for making movies. What matters, I would rather say, is the derivation and observation of the world. The New Wave came from the desire to accept fiction through documentary. In my opinion, the two can only go together."

@zacncomics Make a new take on a classic character:
"So that's kind of the process through which I try to travel when I make a new take on a classic villain. What are they about? What does it mean to me? How do I employ that or weaponize that in the book as strongly as possible?"
I missed whatever the stakes of the hearings were and because of that I didn't understand the relevancy of any scene, lol.
It felt like scene after scene of:
"Wow, you're Oppenheimer!"
"Do they know your ethnic background?"
"Do they know your politics?"
"Nazis!"
What interested me:
how the opening quote frames the narrative and how "chained to a rock and tortured" may be illustrated by the narrative.
how Nolan visualizes the ideas/physics.
how the two narratives (Fission & Fusion) serve as a single narrative.
Don't know when I'll finish OPPENHEIMER, but I've seen enough to know that the desire will come when the time is right.
@JasonianPress@filmstofilms_ Finally liking a movie from Nolan after the Batman trilogy hahaha kidding but I was like amazed for what I see and feel I was hyper excited. And in the same day I watched Barbie too!
