What the best Shakespeare movie adaptation?
>>64639322
the lion king
think about it. it is hamlet without the sex stuff.
>>64639322
Branagh's Much Ado is also really good. The Brando Julius Caesar is pretty great.
If anyone saw it in theatres a few months back, Cumberbatch was in a Hamlet production that was pretty clever.

Now that your "40 Unforgivable Plot Holes in The Force Awakens" have all been thoroughly debunked what will you say about it?
Will you now admit it was the best star wars?
>>64638584
No, because it's not. V will always be considered once of the best films ever made.

even assuming that the plot holes are inconsequential (they aren't), it's still a poorly made movie
pacing is terrible, dialogue is usually okay but sometimes dips into abysmal, action scenes are mind-numbing
THE ELEVENTH ANNUAL BETTER-THAN LIST
>In 2015 more movies were released than ever (an average of a dozen a week). And while many of them offended one’s sense of truth, beauty, and politics, mainstream media (both conservative and liberal) promoted them nonetheless — as if only newness mattered, and not quality.
>Commerce smothered art in 2015, disguised as movie love. But that doesn’t mean there weren’t still excellent, satisfying films — the best, Queen and Country, released in early January by British master filmmaker John Boorman, remained unsurpassed. You could still have a good time going to movies in 2015, but it required discernment, personal taste, and political rigor. Thus, this year’s Better-Than List reminds filmgoers that in cinema as in politics, quality and integrity are more important than popularity. It’s never too late to vote for the better movies.
Queen and Country > The Force Awakens
>The visionary Boorman’s memoir/swan song recalls the roots of family, citizenship, and morality, all conveyed in cinematic mythology. The Disneyfied Star Wars replaced pop mythology with fascist marketing, deceiving viewers who are ignorant of the difference.
Güeros > The Hateful Eight
>Alonso Ruizpalacios’s mixed-race Mexico City college students search for their ethnic and cultural roots in the style of Sixties New Wave cinema, superior to Quentin Tarantino’s pointless mashup of spaghetti westerns and blaxploitation movies. By exploiting American racism, QT promotes it.
The Young and Prodigious T. S. Spivet > The Revenant
>Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s coming-of-age fable expresses an outsider’s affection for 20th-century Americana, while Alejandro González Iñárritu reduces the history of the American West to savagery — and Obama-era self-deprecation.
Love at First Fight > The Martian
>France’s Thomas Cailley updates the service comedy — social experiment in the military viewed as Millennial screwball romance — but ultrahack Ridley Scott minimizes NASA space exploration as Matt Damon’s solipsism in outer space.
Creed > Straight Outta Compton
>Ryan Coogler reenergizes pop ethnography and Sylvester Stallone’s bootstrap boxing franchise, reasserting that All Lives Matter because all are connected. But F. Gary Gray’s bio-pic about the hip-hop group N.W.A. panders to current social cynicism and valorizes hip-hop culture’s most noxious historical episode.
The Green Inferno and Knock Knock > Mad Max: Fury Road
>Eli Roth’s two-fer made him the year’s wittiest political filmmaker, reviving low-grade genres as social satire — the opposite of George Miller’s craven, violent, utterly mindless spectacular.
The Stanford Prison Experiment > The Big Short and Spotlight
>Kyle Patrick Alvarez experiments with the power dynamics of masculinity, while Adam McKay and Tom McCarthy both ignore race and gender components in films that celebrate white professional-class privilege (via stock-market arrogance and anti-Catholic journalism). Alvarez’s compelling, watchable actors contrast with McKay & McCarthy’s miserably dull all-celeb casts.
Black Souls > Black Mass
>An authentic Mafia critique from Italy’s Francesco Munzi surpasses Scott Cooper and Johnny Depp’s mob-monster Whitey Bulger film. The crime movie Scorsese cannot make vs. the movie Scorsese has made ad nauseam.
Macbeth > The Force Awakens*
>Justin Kurzel uses Shakespeare to envision a metaphor for modern political nihilism, a moving, classical reminder of what has been lost to Star Wars infantilism.
>* Yes, Star Wars again. Its menace is no phantom.
In the Name of My Daughter > Carol
>André Téchiné’s family saga goes beyond modish sexual transgression through deep insight into class ambition. Todd Haynes’s dull lesbian melodrama endorses the cliché of 1950s repression (while still favoring the dominant bourgeoisie) to make today’s political correctness seem “smart.”
Sicario > Bridge of Spies
>Denis Villeneuve explores the moral parameters of the U.S. drug wars while Steven Spielberg plays moral-equivalency games with Cold War history. Visionary boldness vs. visionary smugness.
Horse Money > Timbuktu and Arabian Nights
>Portugal’s Pedro Costa owns up to colonial debt in an emotional, visually arresting art film. He humanizes the personal cost of Europe’s immigrant debacle, while Mauritania’s Abderrahmane Sissako, in Timbuktu, panders to jihadist clichés and liberal guilt. Meanwhile, Miguel Gomes’s trilogy, Arabian Nights, reveals Portugal’s (Europe’s) capitulation to G8 and ISIL narratives.
I really liked the way JJ shot The Force Awakens.
Take Kylo Ren for example. The way he shoots him strutting down hallways. The angle is great and it really differs from the static way George shot his actors in the prequels. George literally just aimed a camera and said "action".
With JJ you get a sense that Kylo is this big presence of evil. The up close shots, the dutch angles during the Poe interrogation that signifies a power struggle, its all really good. Kylo feels magnetic, a person of real power and determination.

Is this a troll?
It's well made on a technical level. That makes it a well polished turd rather than just turd
How do you guys feel about this?
Too bad about the racelift, but nice that they're sticking with the crossdressing man as the character.
Will she play the part as a tranvestite male trying to pass as a woman?
Don't know what this is, don't care.
The First Order is Abrams' and Kasdan's vision of what white people are like when they aren't under the watchful eye of international Jewry.
And I'm not even meme-ing or bullshitting. Kasdan said in an interview that he and JJ asked themselves what it would be like if the Nazis had gone to Argentina and regrouped after WWII.
From birth, Jews are raised with this idea that homogeneous white societies will inevitably result in goose-stepping, ethnic cleansing, and warmongering. And I could understand that outlook if history had begun in 1930. But the truth is, whites are the most egalitarian and least barbaric group in human history.
That's what frustrates many of us when Jewish Hollywood sensibilities become accepted norms. They're slanted (indeed, prejudiced), and their bias goes unchallenged by everyone.
The First Order is a Jewish take on ultimate evil. And because modern Jews are obsessed with The Shoah and WWII, everything somehow magically relates to MUH SIX MILLION.
It has gotten boring. It's stale. I wish we could get a more nuanced view of evil, but that won't happen because show-biz Jews always find a way of politicizing everything.
How can art survive in an environment like this?

Mind you, jews make up just 2% of the US population yet control almost all of the media.

Force awakens:
A group of ethnically diverse freedom fighters led by a stronk independent woman and a black male side kick, who was stolen at birth from a family he never knew and then brainwashed, fight against and defeat an evil white male patriarchy, one of which is a WASP and the leader of a nazi army and the other is a priest of an old religion and carries a flaming christian cross who has violent fits of anger, the movie being released on Christmas and made produced by a jewish owned company who hired a jewish director who cowrote the script with jewish writer Lawrence Kasdan
Merry Christmas goys! Make sure you buy the toys and merchandise :)
Actors you find impossible to like.
>>64637172
I will always respect Patrick Wilson because he got to fondle Kate Winslet's tits in that Little Children movie. She's not the best looking actress and certainly not the skinniest but there's something about her where I just know I would.
>>64637274
"""actor"""
Did anyone else feel like JJ wanted a big reaction when Boyega takes his helmet for the first time?
Like
>Woah hes black? I never expected that
And not only that but it's the most congoid black actor they could find with a close up on his vaseline covered face every 10 seconds shouting quips.
What kind of reaction is he trying to spark?
Considering they showed his face in a bunch of trailers and promo material I'm gonna go with no.
>>64637119

>>64637119
It was in the trailer you fucking donut.
Which one's better, Manhunter or Red Dragon?
>Michael Mann vs. Brett Ratner
That's a tough one
>>64636223
The cast of Red Dragon is more talented, but Brett Ratner is a garbage director. Mann's directing and cinematography puts Manhunter far above Red Dragon.
Red Dragon gets more hate than it deserves.
Manhunter is so 80's tho... i love it
Say what you like about grievous, but before his run in with windu, this guy was a god. His fighting style against jedi was to literally attack them so furiously they didnt have time to focus enough to use even basic force powers. He has 23 confirmed jedi kills to his name, but the actually number is thought to be in the hundreds. He took on 2 jedi masters and padewans at once and would have killed them all effortlessly if a load of clones in a gunship hadn't turned up.
People say the movies fucked up Anekin, but this guy is the prequels true victim.
