    Watchmen - 90%

    We talked about it yesterday and I watched it late last night. I believe it takes a person like me to really understand and love this film. I'm patient and I don't ask questions. I let the movie unfold at its own pace as I soak in the deep philosophies presented from the framework developed by Alan Moore. In the end I love the score, I love the daring approach, and I love the film's climax.

    Too bad the excessive violence negates its premise about normal people being heroes and what would happen.

    I think that was the point though, to show how excessively flawed humans are even when they try to do great things, some bad things get mixed in as well.

    Bro, the entire movie is "what if heroes existed but weren't superhuman." To show arms being broken with ease, giving these normal people super strength, is bullshit and defeats the purpose. The comic sucks shit too, so maybe the film tried to mirror that as well.

    You'd think people who write reviews would have the common sense to not need discipline or reprimand.

    So by implication Eight and I lack common sense because you felt the need to give us a reprimand. It's fine to have moral principles about the forum. The only problem is that off-topicness has become the norm rather than the exception around here, which makes your reprimand come across as a bit...selected. But no worries, I'm apparently a troll by HPF standards. Trolls are by their very nature stupid, so I'm probably not capable of picking up such sly implications about lacking common sense in the first place. Now... continue the reviewing game folks! And if any of you hobbits dare to comment on a review, we eats you whole!
    Calm your shit, tiger, I didn't call you a troll, nor do I much care what you say. Just stop retorting to me, because the number of comments being left on this thread are making me think there's something worthwhile being said over here.

    Also, I didn't imply anything, I outright said it.
    I will stop retorting to you when there is no need to. image

    Heck, not even the nazi mods over at cos forums would have objected against movie talk in their equivalent movie review thread.

    My problem are the spoilers in your posts, not the posts themselves. Thankfully for you I've seen the film twice, but if I hadn't, I'd be debating whether murder would be a good enough punishment.
    I figured most had seen it, but fair enough; I should have put in a spoiler warning. The examples were essential to underline what I disliked and liked about it.

    That's why I don't give reviews lol
    I rate it based on my loveOmeter and proceed to tell what I like or hated.

    I have no fucking clue how to even begin the process of making a film. I could write a screenplay... But it would look amateurish as shit.

    Personally I adore telepathic powers, my favorite power of all. So that alone, even with the slightly confusing third act, made me love it through to the end.

    It's true that arrogance limits improvement. Everyone should strive to get better and more knowledgeable -- both film students, filmmakers and everybody else who is interested in movies outside of academia. Film students should be careful not to believe they understand absolutely everything about filmmaking after studying it for 3 years or so. That's a grandiose delusion. It's a great starting point, but it takes time and experience to be a succesful filmmaker regardless of whether you graduated from a film school or learned the craft yourself like Fincher, Jackson, Ridley Scott and Spielberg for instance.

  • Oh there we go with that stupid discussion about not needing to go to school to become a filmmaker. Well, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates both gave upon their Academic Education. So I guess you don't need to study to be the owner of Microsoft also, right? Let's everybody drop and give up on our university studies because, apparently, studying by yourself is already enough to become successful.

    Art School is so underestimated. People look at it with an arrogant and pretentious opinion, as it is something very simple and basic to study. And for you, my friend, all I can say is that you are a very ignorant person.

    Err... it is common knowledge that if two people are going for a job, one who has college experience, one who does not, 9 times out of 10 -- hell, 10 times out of 10, it will go to the one with college experience, unless that person is a total douche.

    Bro, I know that it isn't simple to study. I know that theory is involved. I know that it takes extensive study to comprehend. You don't need to tell that to me. I just disagree with the notion that you have to pay thousands of dollars if not tens of thousands of dollars to learn this stuff. First, you refute nothing I said and instead attacked me personally. Second, you strawmanned me by alluding that we should all drop studies and learn on our own. I never said that. I think your best bet would to have included examples of things that are only taught in film school that I can't gleam by buying the books required in the curriculum and doing my own research on matters. Instead, you opted for name calling.

    Will you give some examples of what can only be learned if you enroll in art school?

    Let's just say that my disdain for for-profit art schools exists because they leave students with massive debt. I had a friend who went to SCAD and graduated with motherfucking $100k+ in student loan debt. What is she doing? Loading and unloading film.

    I'd also like to know how going to film school is going to help me discern far more easily what I love about movies: themes.

    I'm going to say one more thing before I fuck off: While you're making decent money as a member of film industry, Henrick, at least know that I won't be making much money. That will be because a public servant, ie a math teacher, is under appreciated even though that profession is a public good. I want you to know that I will be better than you. I will be giving back to society in a manner that trumps perpetuating the crony capitalism that is the film industry.

    PRETENSION!

    You know what? Fuck it. SInce you were a douche to me, Henrick, I'm going to reciprocate. I think all art program sin public schools should be abandoned and left to the parents to deal with. If you want to paint, do it on your own time. If you want to play that trumpet, do it on your own time. Can't afford it? Too bad. Don't take money from the school's budget when the country fails at math and science and the only way to ease that burden is to teach students how to test so they can get funding. At this point in time, art should be the last thing on someone's mind.

    Sod off, you pretentious douchebag.

    I know you are having a bad day but come one. Calling someone a douchebag is unnecessary dude...

    I highly, highly disagree with a lot of this. I wouldnt know anything about painting unless I was taught. When you have a brilliant teacher you get to hone your craft and learn so many new things. Without that I would have lifeless garbage shooting out on canvases.

    With Math and Science you know what that is tough cookies. It is just one of the many different things thrown into the blender of American Decline. Kids are stupid these days when it comes to these areas and know who I blame? Not the parents as most of the time any middleclass parents work more than usual and both work just to make enough to support their families but then having them attempt to teach their children is usually not going to happen. It is an endless cycle. Teachers are the ones that get the chance to build these kids up and make them enjoy math and science at an early age but guess what? It just doesnt work as easily as it is said. That is why other cultures and countries are doing so much better than the US with teachings and innovation. They are trained at an early age with discipline to know what they are doing. If they have a learning disability then get it looked and get the child help but for all the others they have no excuses. "Ahh I have Adhd..." "Uhmm I cant pay attention, it's too hard..." Then know what kid, get on some fucking pills or get a tutor because the rest of the world will keep on learning and leave you in the dust.

    Also, People that have gotten degrees: Warren Buffett, Barack Obama, John McCain, Andy Warhol, Jay Leno, David Letterman, Julia Roberts, Oprah, Irvin Kershner, Ralph McQuarrie, Drew Struzan, Jerry Seinfeld, Cate Blanchett, Michael Douglass, and the lovely Meryl Streep...I found a list of a ton but my hands are tired lol. You don't have to drop out to become successful...

    If you want a teacher to show you how to paint, hire one outside of school. Too much art nonsense in school these days.

    Teachers aren't solely to blame for the lack of progress in mathematical and scientific subjects. It's the lack of funding and the No Child Left Behind bullshit. If schools test well, they get funding. If they don't, tough shit. My own state had a huge cheating scandal because of the pressure of funding. If you want to do better, fund the schools more and give teachers higher pay to give them the incentive to care.

    This is honestly going nowhere and I have better things to do...but I will say I didnt put all the blame on teachers.

    That doesn't erase student debt, especially if you end up a production assistant from the start. I can't think of any other industry where extensive schooling can get you at the bottom of the food chain. That's dicked up.

  • If you only had an idea of what we learn in film school, I would already respect you. But you have none.

    Just to illustrate, here are some of the subjects I had:

    Scriptwriting Structuring
    Art History
    Movie History
    Scriptwriting Techniques
    Film Theory
    Film Criticism
    Cinematography and Lighting
    Sound Editing
    Editing
    Post Production and Visual Effects
    Cast Direction
    Film Legislation and Ethic
    Scenography and Art Direction
    Film Business and Market Studies


    If you can learn everything by yourself, good luck my friend. If you think that understanding movies is posting shitty and poorly written little paragraphs reviewing films in a forum on the internet, I maintain my opinion that you are a very ignorant person.

    To Ry's points about teachers: if parents can't spend time with their kids to garner interest in certain subjects because they are working more than one job, perhaps they shouldn't have had kids, yes? These stupid parents create the cycle of ignorance that plague's America. I know this is anecdotal, but i an't count how many times I've come across university students who can't do basic algebra, can't add fractions worth a damn, etc. The country is failing.

    So Crucify the ego, before it's far too late, to leave behind this place so negative and blind and cynical. And you will come to find that we are all one mind, capable of all that's imagined and all conceivable.

    A noble response from someone versed in academia.

    Once many moons ago my Art History teacher said, "I hate using the word Acadamia...anyone that uses it is pretentious."

    I dont mean to fight fire with fire, I just find this correlation in my own life hilarious lololol

    Your teacher taught art history, a course as useless as my appendix. The concept is foreign to her.

    Typical art fuck who can't construct arguments. We already know you deal with ad hominems and strawmen.

    Art history is useless because it isn't relevant to the public. It's relevant to those select few who find interest ini t. It won't make you a better person. It won't create cures for diseases. It won't help the poor survive. It wo't help me balance a budget. It won't help me cross that bridge safely.
