DieselDaisy Posted December 24, 2019 Author Share Posted December 24, 2019 The 00s fudge into the 10s so I kept looking up films that I thought slotted in with the 10s - Pan's Labyrinth, The Dark Knight, Das Leben der Anderen, der Untergang - and discovering they were made in 2006 or something similar!! So either the 00s and 10s have no discernible difference (in a way that the '70s and '80s had say), or this is a sign of aging? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

action Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I don't like any movie after the 90s. It's all corporate drivel, one movie after another. Everything is trash these days.

I could tell you some great films post 90s The Fighter with Bale and Wahlberg, There Will Be Blood with Daniel Day Lewis, City of God, Training Day, Dead Mans Shoes, Snatch, No Country for Old Men, American Gangster, 25th Hour, Crash. Tried to pick ones I thought you might like, There Will Be Blood might be a bit slow moving for ya. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be quite a shock, would it release today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 '50s and '20s for me. 1920s was the great age of silent cinema, German Expressionism, Soviet Montage. The 1950s saw Hollywood at its peak and was the ''Golden Age of Japanese Cinema'' (Kurosawa, Ozu, etc., in their pomp) and the heyday of Italian Neorealism. But it is all a bit arbitrary really.

This is what we need to solve the crisis in cinema, a good world war. Trump, it is over to you. Speaking seriously, it is actually a rather good point. Something to do with pent up creative desires being unleashed when peace arrives? Perhaps an artistic antiwar-esque reaction to the cruelty of war.

You hear of wars here and there in far away countries (but that doesn't matter to most people more than watching an action movie), and we have the occasional terrorist attack (random attacks like that happened all the time, only the perpetrators were different. Terror is of all ages). In short, we are getting emotionally dulled. The atmosphere in the 20s and 50s was of overwhelming happiness, it was indeed fertile ground for great artists.

SoulMonster Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) I don't really watch movies, and when I do it is on small screen on planes. But I did see Manchester By The Sea twice, so that says something. That's the only movie I can remember that stuck with me.

I think when you grow up in the shadow of death as people or many people in England did during WW2 it leads to a desire of like, y'know, if I ever get out of this I'm gonna live like a motherfucker. Its worth noting that the big boys, The Beatles, The Stones, The Who, were all born or a few of em born during bombing campaigns of England, it must leave some sort of a psychic stamp on you, a thing like that. I remember Richard Harris saying it in an interview when asked why people like him and Oliver Reed and Peter O Toole and really that whole generation were so into wine and song and revelry and hell-raising, it had something to do with coming out of the other end of that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Oh, there's too few black people in this movie. Oh, another heterosexual action hero. Oh, he made a joke about jewish people". Give me a fucking break. Those are these people's problems? My great grand dad fought in the first world war. He helped defend the country when the german artillery was advancing and bombs were flying around his head. When the war was over, he wouldn't tell a word about it all, he just straighted his back and carried on in life, cracking jokes till the day he died. The people of today are just pussies.

I'll do you one better, my Grandad on my Dads side fought in that war too, he probably didn't know what it was about to complain about it and no one much cared to make note of where he fought or...particularly anything.

Trump this, trump that. Wilhelm II of germany, Hitler, stalin... now THOSE were real scumbag, effectively going into a world war. Trump is, what? A foul mouthed clownesque figure. I've yet to see the first genuine war he fights. Edited February 5, 2020 by action Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
