UNDERRATED
I couldn't believe it but I teared up a little at the end of that movie, and I never cry at movies
Underrated movie in general, or rather, a movie not taken seriously enough often enough. Everyone knows what it is, everyone's seen at least a bit of it, noone respects it

any other similar movies like this with the same feel/theme?

>>64184348
the quality of VHS tapes being poor is grossly overstated, sure there was grain but they were still very watchable unless the tape was cheap and/or old
>>64185595
There is also the fact that TVs before were smaller, so people less noticed the problems. If you played a VHS on a 2015 4k TV, of course it would look bad, but it's alright on smaller screens with poorer resolution. I think VHSs had a resolution of 240p or 360p, it's not that bad and at the time, it's the best you could have if you didn't go to the cinema.
If we're talking best shots in movies, honestly its all the shots in this movie then everything else.
>>64185646
That's a big shot
>>64185801

I am not baiting, Solaris is good movie if Tark had the self awareness to cut his worst material away and end the movie where it should've ended, after the professor's car ride from the PoV of God watching over the cars
It said all it had to say about 2001 by then and then we wouldn't have to wade through TERRIBLE overwhelming dialogue and horrible fucking acting.

That's gorgeous shit and a str8 9/10 film. I remember Kermode bitching that Sorcerer failed like shit because it came out the same week as Star Wars. Kinda agree with him.
>>64184348
you watched it in the theatre. it was so cheap you could watch it a bunch of times. there wasn't so much media and you didn't consume as much of it, so even though you could see a movie many times without denting your wallet, you didn't need or want to. you also didn't need to because you could commit films to your memory, since you watched fewer pictures and watched them several times.
it was also easier to sneak into showings...
>>64190890
His only fault. God, with his infinite mercy, forgave him.
>>64190482
This was probably my favorite shot in the movie. I can't think of too many other individual shots but I know that Once Upon a Time in America, The Illusionist (french animated movie, not the Ed Norton one), and Assassination of Jesse James all looked really good.

That is where you are terribly mistaken
The ending, it is just one moment.
Zap gone.
The journey is the thing which makes it
and the progression
That's the real deal
The collection of moments
Saga's also a great character to follow and like I said it has great urban photography and cinematography
>>64191681
Oh I meant Forbrydelsen, I've seen most of The Bridge.
>>64191870
Well Forbrydelsen too has the same good cinematography and the main character (I forget her name) is definitely a layered human being.
So, same applies.

The scene in dog day afternoon where pachino is talking to his wife and his "wife" on the phone. His shit is falling apart and he hangs up the phone and it holds on this close shit of him emotionally wrecked.

You made nothing.
and watching isn't the same as understanding
and you portrayed your visual illiteracy when you couldn't connect Ex Machina cinematography to be influenced by that of Solaris'.
There's no saving your face here. It's just, forget and move on. You even went on the 'le [x]' route to try to save face, but that's just sad.
Just try to act as emotionally as possible when near around people so they wont notice that you aren't autistic.
>>64194744
>You made nothing.
More than you at least. I think everyone would agree that a few webms of Tarkovsky's cinematography is infinitely better than some moronic comment about the apparent cinematographic similarity between a Tarkovsky film and the intellectually fraudulent Ex-Machina.
Talking about saving face, you keep going on about visual illiteracy but can you back that up with visual evidence? Post a still from Solaris which is similar to that horrible shot from you new favorite garbage flick.

Go watch the movie it's not like it takes long to download, there's plenty of similarities whenever the A.I. is presented with nature in it once Caleb has had couple sessions with Ava.. It even apes Tarks color changes.

He couldn't even tell Ex Machina was influenced hugely by Solaris, stop trying to spoonfeed some autistic fuck who pretend-likes Tarkovsky because he was told to.

Angelopoulos is great. You should check out his films he did with Marcello Mastroianni if you haven't already, supremely underrated. He was a master at framing a scene. Too bad we have shit film quality to deal with.

and told in a passive aggressive way 'I see the similarity' >>64195309

>>64186990
The first Ive seen Wavelength on /tv.
>>64196610
It was deliberately set up to look like a painting. Even in the film it's essentially a still frame. It's all in the character composition and the lighting. They even made it a hazy, smoke-filled room so they could diffuse the light evenly. Not even natural lighting I don't think, just well lit.
>>64196852
Kubrick is in the middlebrow zone.
He's better than the average Hollywood director, sure, but he tried to be an auteur and is mediocre at that.
>>64196852
Day of the Fight - shit
Flying Padre - shit

>2001 - total shit
Has contrarianism gone too far?
>>64196976
>but he tried to be an auteur and is mediocre at that
Cahiers du Cinema disagrees with you. My only gripe with Kubrick is that he's an aesthete above all else - above visual storytelling, characters, emotion, and above life. The individual image was more important than anything, even more than the collective images that make a film. He comes off as autistic. Which is a pretty big gripe personally. Either you're an auteur or you're not. You can be a mediocre filmmaker who's an auteur, but you can't be a mediocre auteur.
>>64197223
I'm honestly not a contrarian and I enjoy all types of films but 2001 is fucking shit and I honestly think that liking it is a meme

>>64199552
I like a lot of slow movies, I even loved Satantango and didn't feel bored or that it had a very slow pacing. 2001 on the other hand is boring as shit and pseudo-psychedelic garbage. None of the shots impressed me, I was not invested in any of the things that were going on, the set designs didn't mean shit to me. The themes of the movie were not innovative or original. I was consistently disliking it heavily
Memes aside, this is my favorite shot

Yep, yet it wasn't even properly promoted in Russia unlike that piece of shit adaptation of Inhabited Island made by that fucking hack Bondarchuk. It still infuriates me to no end.
