@mikemoviez One of my favorites

Name a great movie where an important part of the plot has to do with the relationship between the main character and their parent(s)

@Sorahiro1452 I am sure that you will like it, it is a high quality movie with deep characters and humanistic messages!

@athanasios32747 「3匹の侍」は、元々TVの人気番組で、子供の頃によく見ていました📺️ 長門勇がユーモラスな役どころだったと思います。 映画版は観てないので、これは観てみたいですね🎞️

1/3 Three Outlaw Samurai : This is the third movie by Hideo Gosha I've watched & he's quickly becoming one of my favorite directors right now.THREE OUTLAW SAMURAI is better than SAMURAI WOLF & slightly weaker than SWORD OF THE BEAST. One thing's for sure, imdb.com/title/tt005865…

@DannyDrinksWine He declined but then said that.. :)

During the filming of Werner Herzog's "Fitzcarraldo" (1982), one of the native Indian chiefs offered to Ki!! Klaus Kinski for real, as they felt so much rage towards him. Werner Herzog declined the offer stating that he still needed Kinski to complete the film. Werner Herzog immediately regretted rejecting their proposal. Herzog used the natives' rage against Kinski to film this hostile dinner scene. ["My Best Fiend" (1999) by Werner Herzog]

2/3 I intend to watch the rest of his filmography. The plot of TOS is as rich as the aforementioned movies, if not richer. Action scenes are good but it's not so much about them as it is about the historical background, the poverty & struggles of the villagers, the greed of the

@DannyDrinksWine At the end of the day, every acting school has its own merits, and I pretty much admire all of them equally. Mastroianni would’ve struggled to pull off a character like Travis Bickle, just as De Niro would find it hard to capture the vibe of Pontano in La Notte. Both legends.

@DannyDrinksWine Olivier was the leading exponent of that theatrical, more pompous style of acting,whereas De Niro is his modern counterpart, embodying the down-to-earth approach of the post-70s era.Actors like Brando bridged the gap between these two worlds, standing out as truly unique figures

Marcello Mastroianni explains why Robert De Niro's "method acting" technique is the total opposite of "true acting": "By nature, the actor is a kind of wonder who can allow himself to change personalities. If you don’t know how to do this, it’s better to change professions. I think it’s ridiculous to imagine that to play a taxi driver or a boxer you have to spend months and months “studying” the life of cabdrivers and the weight of fighters." ("De Niro: A Biography", John Baxter, 2002) Clip from: Taxi Driver (1976) Director: Martin Scorsese

@mikemoviez It's one of those movies that I want to watch so much, but I still haven't seen it because there are two versions. From what I’ve read, I can’t decide which is better. IIRC, the shorter one is closer to Cassavetes' vision, but the longer one seems even better to me

Can you name the movie? 🤔

@JohnClover65 @mr_spenalzo @PatrickC895106 Deep Purple have talked about this :) youtube.com/watch?v=wo0gK7…

@athanasios32747 @mr_spenalzo @PatrickC895106 I had that same feeling back in the day…

Red Desert (Il deserto rosso), 1964. Michelangelo Antonioni. Monica Vitti.

@mathewkobliska @DannyDrinksWine This, too :)

@athanasios32747 @DannyDrinksWine Or on a lighter note, the museum montage in John Hughes’ “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.”

On this day, 64 years ago, Michelangelo Antonioni's "L'Eclisse" (1962) premiered in Milan, Italy. Some U.S. exhibitors were so troubled by the ending of "L'Eclisse" (1962) that they cut off the entire seven minute sequence.

Memories of Matsuko (Kiraware Matsuko no isshô), 2006. Tetsuya Nakashima. Miki Nakatani.

@DannyDrinksWine I forgot the ending scene in The Sword of Doom, with Tatsuya Nakadai fighting invisible enemies for so long, cut it too, it may confuse the audiences because, whom he was fighting anyway :)

@athanasios32747 They shouldn't have screened Antonioni's movies at all... His whole filmography is pointless. (This is Sarcasm - I know that some people would take this seriously. So, I am stating it in advance.)

@mikemoviez - You were my brother, Anakin! I loved you - I hate you

Can you think of a clever combination of a well-known quote paired with the wrong movie? For example: "Where we're going, we don't need roads."

4/4 a bit dated, I love it. But Baur managed to bridge the gap between this older acting style and the modern, more down-to-earth style of the post-70s era. He's tremendous. A film which is powerful, epic, emotional, monumental, and at the same time, a hymn to humanity.

1/4 Les Misérables : A great movie, probably a masterpiece. At 281 minutes, there are some pacing problems and it's a bit tough to watch it all at once, especially considering it's a 92-year-old movie. However, not only is it worth watching but it's also imdb.com/title/tt002550…
