They could make the ground under the water able to be landed on in low lying areas but it would be an epic planet to go to die on. Just imagine landing, climbing out of your ship, only to look over and see a slow creeping massive wave wall coming towards you to destroy you.
I just watched Breathless by Goddard and I loved it. I canβt wait to check out more. I loved its style and cinematography.
The 2001 film "Enemy at the Gates" was quite popular. It was very good popcorn cinema and arguably remains the most popular movie about the Eastern Front of WW2.
The movie, however, vastly exaggerated the tactical and strategic shortcomings of the Red Army during that time. While "human wave" tactics and "no step back" orders did exist and were used occasionally, their usages, to my knowledge (which comes mostly from this subreddit to be fair), were very localized and not very widespread as depicted in the film. There were also not such widespread supply shortages that one man would be given a rifle with one 5-round clip and the man behind him was given another 5-round clip and told to pick up the other man's rifle should he drop dead.
Nowadays, those incorrect perceptions of the Red Army during WW2 remain very popular. So the question is then: Did "Enemy at the Gates" popularize those misconceptions? If not, then what did?
Of all the films on there, Iβve only seen Elevator from the Gallows and the 400 Blows.
Which of the movies that have been added should I absolutely not miss? Also, is there a specific order I should view them?
Does anyone else ever wonder about this?
In the era of streaming and easily accessible media, would they be using the wide reach of social media? I feel like they would take advantage of it.
Or were they simply a creation of the era and there's a reason why filmmakers like them don't exist currently?
I think that Waves is one of the best films in our modern time.
They really nail our young generation and add in heart wrenching and touching moments and an incredible story line.
Anyone who hasnβt seen it, go watch it.
Anyone have similar suggestions?
I'm a huge fan of Branded to Kill and Tokyo Drifter and want to explore more films from this movement. What other films in the collection would you recommend for someone who hasn't done the deep dive into this film wave? Films on the channel are also very welcome.
Moana set something off and Coco made it explode so we are seeing a lot of these lately with more coming. Even TV is getting in on it but I want to focus on film for now. And it's not just Disney either cause we are seeing other production companies give it a go. Some of these films are better than others obviously. So out of these films:
-Moana
-Coco
-Soul
-Luca
-Raya and The Last Dragon
-Encanto
-Vivo
-Over the Moon
-Wish Dragon
-Wolfwalkers
Which is your favorite? Which one do you think did the best job of portraying the community and culture it was pulling from? Which one do you think had tightest and best constructed narrative? Which one resonated with you the most? If there's one not on this list you think is pretty good, name it.
When this all started last year I was so reminded of a shortish film shown on tv in Germany when I was maybe 14, maybe even a couple of years younger: The Wave.
Based on true events, where a history teacher does an experiment with his class after they asked how come the Germans went along with it?
I have not seen it since, and just found a bad copy on YT, https://youtu.be/ICng-KRxXJ8
It has been re-done in German, quite a few years ago now, been in the theatre there, I think it should be compulsory viewing on German tv every day until they get it!
I thoroughly recommend you spend 45 minutes watching it and then share.
itβs a billion βtop a24 horror moviesβ articles but not one on the most sad/devastating ones
iβve already seen waves and a ghost story, iβm just particularly interested in the heartbreaking a24 films
even searching βsadβ in this reddit gave me nothing
any recommendations?
I've been wanting a super 8 forever and am currently kicking myself for not getting one when they were cheap. Now they are ridiculously expensive. After a God awful experience on ebay with my 35 film camera advertised as perfectly working resulted in me getting back 8 usable shots from two 36 exposure rolls from a very special trip (oh and also the 1.2 lens was a 1:2) I have been very wary in making my choice. I don't want to pay the insane markup prices of these people who do a simple clean and lube and say they are restoring cameras and I've definitely learned my lesson with going the cheap route. SO many shitty uneducated sellers on ebay advertise their super 8 cameras as film tested and when you inquire you learn they didn't actually film test the cameras at all. They don't test them at all period and have no knowledge but advertise them as working. SMH. Anyways, someone who is pricey but consistently pops up is from someone who runs a shop called "The Film Wave". It seems legit, although extremely overpriced. But I really want it for christmas this year and I want to pop in my two rolls and not worry that it will be broken and that I will out the cost of film, shipping, processing, and lost memories. The security is worth the price for me at this point- but only if its' from a reputable company. I will be flying out mid december to see my family so it's super important to me that I actually get it this year because I alwaaaaays put it off and yet another year goes by without one. so:
TLDR: Anyone purchased from The Film Wave? Are they reputable? Do their cameras come as advertised? Whats the customer service like? Etc.
Also I don't use reddit a ton so idk if this is considered bad taste but I also posted this exact same post in r/8mm .
Iβd like to watch more, but I donβt know where to go. Iβm also just curious what others would think outside of just hearing The 400 Blows or Breathless mentioned every single time.
My picks would be any of Godardβs less loved films from the period, La JetΓ©e, and Out 1.
In 1966 Truman Capoteβs true crime book βIn Cold Blood was an instant success and launched a true crime genre that still captives a generation. The book dissects and goes into detail about the quadruple murder of the Clutter family in Holcomb, Kansas, in 1959. The book is written as a novel which Truman referred to as, βnew journalism.β It was the last book in a series of books, Which included βBreakfast at Tiffanyβs, Other Voices Other Rooms, and The Grass Harp. People have called this Book, Truman's undoing because he never wrote another book after. The book took its toll on the writer, which took him six years to research and complete.
In cold blood tells the story of the murder of the Clutter family, consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Clutter and their two teenage children, Kenyon and Nancy. They had two older daughters that didnβt live at home at the time of their deaths. The family lived in Holcomb, Kansas, and in November 1959, they were brutally killed, with no apparent motive. When they were first discovered, they were found bound and gagged with multiple shot wounds, with only a handful of small items taken from the house.
Truman read about the crime in The New York Times, soon after it happened, and travelled to Holcomb, interviewing people and doing extensive research with the help of his friend Harper Lee, who would go on to write the classic, βTo Kill a Mockingbird.β
Herbert Herb Clutter was a successful farmer in the quiet farming community in Holcomb, Western Kansas. He lived there with his wife Bonnie and their four daughters. The two eldest daughters Eveanna and Beverly had moved out and his two younger children, Nancy, and Kenyon were still high school students. They lived an idyllic life and were liked by their neighbours and loved by friends and family. Apart from the rumours that Bonnie was suffering from clinical depression, they were the all-American family just going about their lives until that fateful evening.
When the family was initially discovered and with no apparent motive for the crime, it sent the town of Holcomb into a state of anxiety and panic. A dark cloud of suspicion descended on the town. Before the murders happened, the tiny town of Holcomb, Kansas was a remarkably trusting place. No one locked their doors, believing that there was nothing to fear.

The head of the Clutter family, Herb was 48 and owned a large ranch. He was described as a great provider for his family and a great man to work f
