Which is your favourite and why?

I haven't been able to find a review anywhere, so I thought I'd crowd source one. Thanks!

I always felt that the Lord of the Rings trilogy had very distinctive colours for each film, so I took an average of 10,000 frames and boosted the brightness and contrast.

I was pleased with the results and so did the same thing for Kieślowski's Three Colours Trilogy.

You can see the results here.

I really like the way the Three Colours comes out like a dirty French flag, and the LotR colours matched my impression of their moods well.

I have it set up so that this is now a pretty simple process, so any more suggestions would be welcome.

Edit 1: Harry Potter films now added. There is a very obvious darkening as the series progresses, but the washed-out colours that people noted are not noticeable, because of the averaging. There is also an obvious line which crosses through all of the films. I think that this is due to the influence of the Warner Bros logo but I'm not 100% sure.

Edit 2: Star Wars original and sequel trilogies added. In the original trilogy, you can see where they have used the same star background on episodes V and VI - there is a distinctive cluster of 3 stars about 5/6 of the way across and 1/3 of the way down. For the sequels, The Force Awakens has very distinct stars which means the same backdrop was probably used extensively. Or I screwed something up.

This is a trilogy I read back in around 2007-2010. It was in my high school library, written in English.

As per the title of the post, I remember it was some kind historical (probably not very accurate or even very good) drama. I know that there was a woman on the cover wearing a long (medieval?) dress, which I think was green in the first book and maybe red in the second?

I sadly can't remember pretty much any of the plot (it might have been something to do with a necklace? I'm pretty sure some people got murdered too), but teenage me enjoyed it 😅 I'm not sure I would actually enjoy it now but it has been bugging me for years trying to remember it. Would love to reread it!

I’ve been rewatching a lot of my Criterion movies lately and just revisited the Three Colours trilogy. All three movies remain incredible works of filmmaking. Here is an unpopular opinion though. I think White holds up the best and is a severely underrated film. If I recall, Ebert called it the anti-comedy. It’s really dark with a downer ending, but also extremely hilarious throughout. It’s probably one of my favorite comedies.

So now, what is your favorite film in the trilogy?

Blue, White and Red are the names of the movies and in my opinion they're some of the finest, sophisticated movies ever made, or at least that I've ever seen. They represent the French flag and each movie represents the ideals of the French: Liberty (blue), Equality (white), and Friendship (red). All three of the films are interconnected in some way. They're made in French but thank goodness for English subtitles!

Blue begins with a car crash on a remote highway, witnessed by a teenage boy who will later make contact with the only survivor. It is simultaneously the least spectacular and most real car crash imaginable: in an earlier sequence, we have seen brake fluid leaking ominously after a car was speeding along in a bluish haze. Now, in a split-second, we turn with the boy to see the car hit a tree – but with no petrol explosions or drama. It is dream-like, but highly plausible. The fatalities are a renowned composer and his young child; the composer's wife Julie (Juliette Binoche) is badly hurt but still alive. After watching live television coverage of his funeral, immobile on her hospital bed, she finally recovers, sells everything she owns, and lives incognito in Paris. The reason? Is it anguish, grief, rage at fate, and unresolved questions about her late husband's fidelity and his assistant's feelings for her?

In White, a Polish immigrant hairdresser in Paris, Karol, is being divorced from Dominique (Julie Delpy) because he cannot satisfy her sexually. They were happy enough before they were married, but something about being married, and achieving prosperity in the comparative luxury of France, has unmanned him. Obsessed with his tauntingly gorgeous ex-wife, Karol conceives a plan to get back to Poland, becomes wealthy, and contrives a new scheme to get back at Dominique. It's humorous, and it's dark. If you ever felt like getting revenge on your ex then you'll probably relate to this movie.

In Red, Juliette Binoche plays Valentine, a student and part-time fashion model in Geneva, plagued by calls from her controlling and jealous boyfriend in England. A quirk of fate causes her to call upon a cantankerous and retired judge, played by Jean-Louis Trintignant, an aggressive malcontent with an illegal hobby. Remembered dreams are an important theme in Kieslowski, and importantly, the judge tells Valentine that he has had a dream about her. The dream is never shown on screen, merely recalled, but it is perhaps the most poignant part of the trilogy

This can't be the end of the best show on TV. There's nothing to replace this. We need a movie trilogy!! I would watch this in the cinema. Imagine those space battles on the big screen!!!

EXPANSE MOVIE TRILOGY!!!

YASSSS GIANT ALIEN WARSHIPS AND WEIRD ALIEN BIOLOGY AND EXPERIMENTS ON BLACK EYED NOT DEAD PEOPLE AND STRANGE EMERALD PLANETS AND RIDING A FUCKING TORPEDO AND THE INVASION AND THE RESISTANCE AND FLASHBACKS TO ALIEN EVOLUTION.

GIVE IT TO MEEEEEEEEE.

Title says it all, and they'd all be blind buys.

Im currently trying to watch films from all the great directors, and one of these directors is Kieślowski. I want to know if I should get the Dekalog or the Three Colours Trilogy. Please give me a recommendation. Thanks.

Part V: Deja Vu

So now what you've all been waiting for...

Section 1: A Look Forward

Quick Recap

• We own the float
• The November - January cycle has not one but three ETF gamma exposure dates, two of which represent the largest amount of exposure on GME throughout the entire year
• GameStop is significantly more illiquid now than last January the buying, holding, and registering of the float have pushed the bid/ask spread on GME to the limits and the stock is ripe for a squeeze
• This illiquidity means when MM, APs, and SHFs need liquidity to hedge massive price movements there is none available at market
• Retail owning open contracts forces the MM to hedge. If they do not and those contracts are pushed into the money, and/or exercised there are no shares available for them to deliver. They must increase the price to create liquidity (supply held means demand must be raised)

We are about to enter another November - January cycle so let's look at what we can expect if the mechanics at play this last year hold true.

Let's first look at what could happen if they roll.

*^(* These price targets are theoretical, upwards movement on GME is difficult to predict because of the wide bid/ask spread. These examples are to show movement only. At any point during this outside factors like FOMO, announcements from GameStop, or regulation could accelerate the process. This simply defines the movements expected on GME due to the underlying market mecha

I was thinking about watching Kick-Ass, Zombieland and Scott Pilgrim in a row. All three have very dynamic cinematography and a smirky kinda humor to them. Lots of fun side characters as well. The colors are also quite vibrant in each film. I think the sequels to Kick-Ass and Zombieland were quite bad so let's put the originals with a similar quality of work. Any suggestions on what other three movies would make a good unofficial trilogy?

Edit: Thanks for all the great responses to this thread (and awards)! Here's another I thought of for the upcoming season:

The Twisted Holiday Trilogy for families:

David S Pumpkins Halloween Special for Halloween,

Addam Family Values for Thanksgiving,

The Nightmare Before Christmas for Christmas

I got into The Challenge somewhat recently and found out that some of their seasons are clumped into trilogies, namely seasons 30, 31 and 32. What would you say are Survivor's trilogies? In my opinion, if we pretend that WA doesn't exist, Cagayan, SJDS and Cambodia would be a great trilogy. The same goes for Tocantins, Samoa and HvV.

I've got an insatiable craving to fall for characters and buy into their love/anxiety/depression etc. along the lines of what I felt watching the Before trilogy / Blue Is The Warmest Colour / Three Colours . Not sure where to look next, and don't want any schmaltzy/happy ending Hollywood rubbish. I want to feel and experience the emotions in a true-to-life way.

Thanks!

The acting in Clerks for me was horrible, the dialogue was very forced and clumsy at times but I have friends who swear by it.

What movies are the same for you? and what hidden gems can you tell me about?

I'm a photographer and enjoy artsy, well composed shots and colours. Love Godard films like Vivre Sa Vie, Pierot le Fou, 2 or 3 Things and I also adored Chunking Express and Fallen Angels - I've seen a lot of the suggested other WKW films already now. Recently finished The Colours Trilogy and really enjoyed it, and also The Double Life of Veronique. Anything else you think I might enjoy?

I am at the beginning of Death's End so far, reading it in my native language. We've got a secondary translation from english, so I am not going to comment on the prose, but I trust the translator did not change the source material, and whenever I get to read about women... Oh my.

I am really enjoying the actual science fiction part, and it's been a while since I could not put a book down for hours, but I feel the books would be a whole lot better if they had no women at all, at that's saying something.

There are basically only two women there: Ye Wenjie and all the rest of them as a single entity with no distinct features. The entity is this sweet beautiful romantic charming chinese woman with shining eyes that make every single man in ten mile radius either a poet who would cross her name across the stars or a caring father figure whose icy military man's heart immediately melts when they look at each other. It is not one woman who is characterized like that, nor it is one man who looks at women this way, it's all of them together at the same time.

Male characters are not very deep either, but at the very least they are people, not some walking poetic inspiration for everyone around. Come to think of it, aliens are people. Their actions (at least so far) are obviosly not humane, but incredibly human-like. They are believable as actors of those actions. While women are not.

All in all it is extremely hard for me to take the whole "it is so hard to understand aliens" idea, when human women are more alien than aliens are.
