Dystopic Android Dreams

Thoughts on Sueňan los androides (2014), by Ion De Sosa

An experimental, chillingly prophetic of the pandemic landscape, adaptation of “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep”, on which Blade Runner was based. This film fails to fall into a category or to be easily approached. A consistent syntax of naturally lightened perfectly edited shots. An “Elephant” psychopathy gaze. The ironic and austere separation of time into present, past, and future.

Here everything is one and the future we do not know is already here.

In a Paranoid Android world, in the future, everything will be different and we humans will insist that it is the same. In the future, the walls will be bare. The windows in the skyscrapers will be perfectly separated without the slightest expansion or contraction. The bedside tables will still be covered with grandma’s lace. Love will be old and will still dance. Humans will be prostituted for the sake of androids. Goats will be forbidden to have milk.

In the future, the killers will collect the bullets they have scattered like beggars. Churches will always look empty. We will buy our dreams by biting each other’s breath. The crosses will illuminate the crimes with Neon and the skyscrapers will be the oldest monuments of civilization.

Whether this movie looks more like a sheep or a wolf is not clear, as the camera unravels only a blurry image of it, staying on the cold surface, in a “Hipster” way, according to the modern classifications of people and works. In the future, however, labels may be auto-destructive.

Page One: ‘The Princess Bride’ (1987)
By: Scott Myers
Tags: Cinema, Film, Screenwriting, Movies, Screenplay

Screenplay by William Goldman based on his novel

The movie version of the opening:

Considerable differences between script and screen. No foretelling of the swordsmanship from the novel. No backstory about the boy having been in the hospital. Thus on the one hand, the movie version of the opening slows the entrance into the fictional world, but speeds up the appearance of the grandfather. Perhaps the decision was about grounding the story in the Ordinary World: a sick boy playing a video game. Everyone can relate to that. Sets up a more dramatic juxtaposition when the father’s reading of the book dissolves into the world of the Princess Bride.

The Princess Bride was released in 1987. That was the year I broke into Hollywood and was introduced to industry screenings and premieres. I was invited to a special screening of The Princess Bride on the 20th Century Fox lot on Pico Boulevard. That is one premiere I’ll never forget. What a special movie. Later, when Castle Rock was producing my movie Alaska, I had a chat with director Rob Reiner about The Princess Bride. They made that movie on a shoestring budget, but this circumstance benefited the film in that with minimal special and practical effects, the actors were given leeway to really run with their characters. It shows on screen, each character fully realized and entertaining to the max.

I agree! Diversity in any field adds values - caste, religion, race, sexuality … people from all different backgrounds should be involved in creating art, technology, laws and anything else humans do.

The different ways people think will only add to our progress as a society. And help ensure the world is a safe space for everyone. Not just the basic vanilla people :)
Nobody’s perfect.
Tags: Cinema, Criterion Collection, Terrence Malick, Letterboxd, Criterion

Nobody’s perfect. There was never a perfect person around. You just have half-angel and half-devil in you.

Days of heaven and days of hell. Terrence Malick puts us into kingdom come. We the viewers run through the Garden of Eden. He shows an eternal field stretching out to the sky, a lonely Edward Hopper-style house, one more beautiful than the other animals, but then this dreamlike world is turned into well of hell with Malick’s outstanding craft. He portrays the contrasts in our lives, the good and evil, the water and the fire, love and hate. He completes these contrasts with his artistic compositions.

It is not a simple thing watching and analyzing Terrence Malick’s films at the same time because the very words in your head begin to wither scene by scene. Eventually, you forget who you are and mesmerized. I feel like I am in a Jean-François Millet painting at almost every scene. The atmosphere he has created stem from the heart of pure art. Malick plays the god role, not only a director. He touches and creates out of nothing. He has only a field and sky above him in terms of setting, but his camera turns this nothingness into a dream through his low light shootings, the perfect compositions and the profound storyline. Malick demonstrates that he is aware of the nature’s progression. He knows what the nature is, he knows how works the human relationships. He is the face of god in the art of cinema.

As well as he is cabaple of showing nature’s true side, he also knows the humanity. With this film, viewers witness a poor family who works as farmers for seasonal works. A rich man manages farmers from a small house which you can see all through the film. This house seems small when we compare it to the eternal fields, but Malick achieves to show this small rich house creates oppression for the farmers. When you see the house in the frame, you can feel that rich men could see everything, because they have money and money creates right to speak, hence this small house stands for power. If you get in there, your status rises. As the film progresses, we witness love triangles, desperations and some opportunities. The family’s poor girl begins to live with the rich man and it is clearly seen that her life style is totally changed. Yes, Malick acts like a god and achieves to show;

The thin line between the poor and the rich.

Written by Quentin Tarantino

The movie version of the opening:

Reminder: Quentin Tarantino wrote the script with him directing it, thus, with all the camera angles and “we see” jargon, it reads more like a production draft. Moreover… it’s Quentin Tarantino and he can write the script any which way he wants including little asides like: the black man, not the three white guys.

While there are no rules about such things, there has been a movement the last few decades toward a more literary style of screenwriting, i.e., no camera shots, directing jargon, the screenplay reading more like a story, not a shooting script.

Which is to say if you’re a fan of Quentin Tarantino… and you read his scripts… and you think you can write your script just like him… I strongly advise you don’t follow that path.

It’s Stupid To Make A Movie That Combines Star Wars And Indiana Jones — Phil Hawkins

It’s Stupid To Make A Movie That Combines Star Wars And Indiana Jones — Phil Hawkins FilmCourage.com Follow Dec 24, 2020 · 2 min read

Film Courage: Why was it so risky for you to make STAR WARS ORIGINS? Why did you decide to bet on yourself?

Phil Hawkins, Writer/Director: Risky…well there are a few things here. Firstly, when you say fan film there are lots of connotations about fan films and not a lot of them are good, you know? If you want to ask for a first hit of what you think a fan film is they are usually people dressed up copying things they’ve seen from films (especially Star Wars fan films) and this isn’t a slight on other films. I’m just saying in general fan films are like a little bit naff, quite low budget, a little bit amateurish. But what I love about fan film is that they’re a playground for people to learn filmmaking. To copy the things they’ve seen on the screen and figure out how they’re made…(Watch the video interview on Youtube here).
What does the re-opening of Theatres mean to Telugu cinema?

What does the re-opening of Theatres mean to Telugu cinema?

Well, finally that time has come for which millions of Telugu hearts have waited for a long time, that time has come where the whole cast and crew are gonna keep their finger crossed to witness the reception of the audience, that time has come where the producers and people involved in the cinema business are eager to analyze the box office numbers and to study the trend, ‘Solo Brathuke So Better’, which is releasing on Dec 25th will be the first Telugu movie to have a direct theatrical release post lockdown.

Movie industries and theatres have taken a huge hit due to the pandemic and it’s time to bring back the glory of theatres. Telugu cinema is undoubtedly one of the biggest in India in terms of market, scale, productions, etc.., this movie will not entirely decide the future of Telugu cinema but it gauges the mood of the audience.

The booking of the movie ‘Solo Brathuke So Better’ has been exceptional till now, but the interesting thing to see would be the non-booking traditional audience turn out. As far as safety is concerned at the theatres, people are pretty much aware of the precautions that are being taken place at the theatres.

The important thing that needs to be discussed here is the unity among the movie personalities in Telugu cinema. Every other actor is promoting or talking about the movie and boosting the confidence of the audience to watch it in theatres, huge stars like Mahesh Babu, Chiranjeevi showed excitement about the Telugu cinema’s first release post lockdown.

Many Telugu movies are lined up for release in the next couple of months and it will be a huge relief if the audience starts back the practice of going to theatres. Even we may see all the stars coming forward to inculcate the safe feeling towards theatre watching shortly. So, this reopening of theatres with a Telugu cinema means a lot to many people out there including movie lovers.
Classic Reaction — Jules Dassin’s Naked City
By: Eric B. Jones
Tags: Drama, Cinema, Film, Crime, Noir

The first time I viewed The Naked City, I wasn’t impressed with it. I appreciated the style in which it told the story, but it never captivated me. I decided to pick it up on Blu-ray during a Criterion flash sale and I’m so glad I did.

The Naked City take a realistic approach to the crime drama. So realistic that it may appear mundane. Yet that is its greatest virtue. A film released post WWII had to provide some reassurance. A great evil was just fought and defeated. Films needed to be able to show that as well. Now it’s one thing to have a big star in a crime drama as a police detective and solve the crime, we expect that. Since The Naked City is not a film of star power, we the viewers are able to relate much more to the day to day task we see performed by the police in their investigation into the death of Jean Dexter.

The performance of the repetitive acts as a comfort, particularly to the American male. Having returned from the war, he must feel that what he does has a purpose. Fighting and dying for your country certainly is a purpose. Yet with Naked City, we see the police do these same tasks throughout the film and it proves to have a purpose. Each run through of these tasks takes us one step closer to the solving of the murder. And it’s not just police, but we see people of many occupations shown doing what they do every day. Unlike many films which glorify police (and you may still interpret this as doing so, or at least lionized them), the film just shows people doing their job. In a Post-war U.S. people needed to see that their lives possessed purpose and meaning. That while part of the machine, they could be proud of their function in the machine and the end result of the part they play.

The police may be the focus, but The Naked City is not just a crime drama/film noir. It is a film to comfort and reassure people that we all play a part in the many stories of the city.
Page One: ‘The Hangover’ (2009)

The movie version of the opening:

The opening in the spirit and structure of the script. Some additional dialogue, but the point of the scene is the same: The horrible revelation by Vick to Tracy… and the mystery established with the trashed car in the background and Vick’s split lip.

When I first read about The Hangover getting set up, I just shook my head. What a great concept. I mean, it’s similar to Dude, Where’s My Car, but the stakes are so much higher: a missing groom.

The movie version of the opening:

The movie has a completely different opening including a montage-type visualization of the murder. It continues with a news report, then a cocktail party where the Protagonist (Dr. Richard Kimble) gets introduced. My guess: The filmmakers figured two things: (1) Get the story off to a more active start as compared to a courtroom setting; (2) Create more of an emotional connection on the part of the audience to the story by watching a version of Kimble’s murder.

Your Movie Mate — A UX/UI case study on Senscritique app

This is how it goes. You love watching movies. You have the habit of rating so that you keep a trace of your whole journey as a cinephile. You do it on Senscritique app. You might think “ Actually, I use another app for that ” and, indeed, there are quite a few competitors on the market.

The market

By analysing the competitors, I found out that most of them have the same features than the Senscritique app : movie trailers, theaters information, users ratings, users reviews, favourite users. But there is a lack of customised suggestions in the majority of them, including Senscritique. What makes the app stands out is the brand, community-oriented and passion-focused.

Dale’s Triple-Feature — Giant Mutated Rodents

I really like juxtaposition in all its forms. This triple-feature contains three movies in which cute and cuddle creatures are mutated into giant killer monsters. When you mix cute and scary, you get fun fun fun.

Killer Shrews (1959)

Killer Shrews (1959)

Genetically engineered shrews grow to the size of dogs and attack the scientific compound that created them every night. A classic tale of misguided scientific inquiry.

Okay, rabbits may not be rodents, but you’re not going to get me on a technicality. They’re cute, tiny mammals just like rodents. Well, until they get mutated and grow the size of bears, that is.

Food of the Gods (1976)

Food of the Gods (1976)

A mysterious substance bubbles up from the ground, mutating and enlarging all the animals that consume it. Rats are omnipresent vermin, so of course, they get a healthy dose of the stuff.
The wealthy are incapable of surviving on their own
By: Dave Cline
Tags: Cinema, Film, Movies, Streaming, Masculinity

What do the wealthy know about survival? Nothing.

When the end of civilization comes, the rich will escape to their private, hidden compounds to wait out the collapse. But they won’t do so alone. The rich are effectively invalids living in their luxurious caves, served by their capable staff of dozens. So, when the End arrives, they won’t vanish to their secret lairs without those who can actually scavenge, cook, repair, defend and protect themselves and their masters-turned-wards.

This post/comment is in reference to Greenland the movie, and John DeVore’s thoughts on the film.

Dale’s Triple-Feature — Introduction
By: Dale Thomas
Tags: Trilogy, Cinema, Movies, Movies To Watch, Lists

Dale’s Triple-Feature — Introduction

For a long time, I have enjoyed watching movies in threes. I like to do that because I get more out of them that way. As a speculative fiction writer myself, I enjoy analyzing stories, so when I watch movies it helps if I can compare them to similar movies that are still fresh in my mind.

It’s also a good way of generating discussions about movies in a group. If you watch a single movie, you can discuss this or that aspect as it relates to story-telling and movie-making as a whole, but watching three movies together with a common theme allows for a much richer and more expansive discussion.

Sometimes I watch three movies in a big beer-fueled laughathon with a bunch of friends on a lazy Sunday, sometimes it’s three consecutive movie nights with my wife exploring a common theme, and other times it’s just a gluttonous movie marathon for myself in my spare time.

This will be an ongoing series of posts suggesting three movies that go well together to watch as a triple-feature. I may also refer to them as “unnoficial trilogies”, as they are, in my mind, intricately connected.

One simple rule I have is to not include more than one movie per franchise. It would be lazy to suggest the Lord of the Rings trilogy or the first three Resident Evil movies. However, expect to see some movies on multiple lists. For example, Starship Troopers might be on both “military scifi” and “alien insects” triple-features.

So I will find three disparate movies to watch together that are similar for some reason. I’ll explain why I think they go well together, in what order they should be watched, and at the end, I’ll add some questions that will get you thinking and hopefully spark interesting debates with friends after your own viewing marathons.

I particularly love it when the three stories are thematically linked, but they explore the topic from three very different perspectives. My favorite is when the tones are benevolent, malevolent, and ambivalent. I think that makes a really great unofficial trilogy and gives me a lot to think about.

Feel free to let me know if you disagree with my choices, and suggest better alternatives. I love learning about movies I haven't seen, or thinking about the ones I have seen in new ways. Also, if you have any suggestions for a new triple-feature, let me know and if it sounds good, I’ll write it up and give you the credit.

If this sounds like something you are interested in, then I suggest you bookmark this page and check back now and again. Every time I create a new post in the series, I will add it to the list here.
3 Qualities That Make First Time Filmmakers Successful — Aaron Fradkin
Tags: Cinema, Film, Movies, Television, Filmmaking

Film Courage: I have a quote here and it reads “I selfishly like a lot of first-time directors because they over prepare, they’re super eager, and they have very little ego,” and that quote is from none other than Mark Duplass of the Duplass Brothers.

Aaron Fradkin, Writer/Director/Youtuber: I definitely agree with that as a new director you definitely have something to prove. I think it was David F. Sandberg [a.k.a. Ponysmasher on Youtube] that said prepare 200% just to get 100% results and I think especially first-time directors because they have something to prove they’re nervous, they tend to over prepare a little bit and when it comes to filmmaking that’s definitely not a bad thing…(Watch the video interview on Youtube here).

Top 10 Horror Movies: Let’s Experiment with Heart

Photo By Sammy-Williams on Pixabay

On watching these movies, the heartbeat excited beating faster than normal. This is the first time such an experiment has been done under the ‘Scare Project’. Regardless of the horror film, ‘The Exorcist’ or ‘Nosferatu’ can be rated as the most horror film of all time. But despite not being very popular among fans from a science perspective, ‘Sinister’ is the scariest film ever.

Recently, ‘The Science of Scare Project’ has been selected by BroadBand Choices as one of the 10 scariest horror films in the world. In this study conducted by BroadBand Choices, during the entire experience of watching these films, the heart rate of all these participants was monitored and readings are taken.

After viewing all the films, the highest rate was marked after viewing the participants’ heart rate, which varied from 86 to 131 bpm on normal when watching the Sinister movie.

The average heartbeat rate was much higher than 65 bpm. Though the 2012 horror film experienced an average rating of critics, its top place on the scariest list of ‘The Science of Scare Project’ [source link] may shock many.

Beats Per Minute (BPM)

These films are in the top 10

01. Sinister (86 BPM)

02. Insidious (85 BPM)

03. The Conjuring (84 BPM)

04. Hereditary (83 BPM)

05. Paranormal Activity (82 BPM)

06. IT Follows (81 BPM) )

07. The Conjuring-2 (80 BPM)

08. The Babaduk (80 BPM)

09. The Decent (79 BPM)

10. The Visit (79 BPM)

But the movie that competes with Sinister and is 2nd in the table is Insidious, a movie based on the mysterious incidents of 2010, when viewing these 50 participants had a normal heart rate of 85 to 133 bpm.

The movie version of the opening:

Those “various view of things” was John Hughes’ way of writing a placeholder so his crew could shoot a bunch of B-roll footage for Hughes and his editor to stitch together the images to go with Brian’s voice-over narration. It IS interesting to note that he DOES specify “Bender’s locker.” He KNOW he wanted to include that and, indeed, ends the visual montage with that image.

Adobe Photoshop 2021 Tutorials

In the late 2020 release Photoshop 2021 offers many fun and exciting features available to creators that doesn’t require a whole lot pre-requisite knowledge. From the sky replacement, pattern preview, to the neural filters where you can age someone’s face or apply makeup from a model to another photo we have you covered.

How to get Adobe Photoshop 2021

Adobe has made the shift to offering cloud based software. What this mean’s is that you will need to pay a monthly fee to access their latest and greatest software. The $9.99 package gives you access to Adobe Photoshop 2021, Lightroom, and Adobespark (Similar to Canva). I’ve subscribed to the Adobe Creator Suite which gives me access to All the Adobe Programs from Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, Adobe Acrobat and more. You can use my affiliate link to subscribe here at no extra cost. I’m also subscribed! You can also purchase the Seagate external hard-drives which are essential for videographers and creators . Some of them offer 2 or 3 months access to Adobe Photoshop.

Sky Replacement

I first saw the tutorial on Peter Mckinnon’s Youtube channel so credit to him for getting me back into Photoshop 2021. The sky replacement can be done in a minute simple open your photo with a sky and find sky replacement under the edit menu.

Pattern Preview

This feature allows you to visualize your own pattern within minutes (view->pattern preview) and the most important step is to add this as a pattern to your asset library under the patterns panel. I’ve used a screengrab from bokeh video of christmas lights to create a pattern. You can use this as a fill for shapes or apply it to your background.

Neural Filters

The neural filters will turn out to be one of the most entertaining features of Adobe Photoshop 2021. You can access it from the Filters Menu ->Neural Filters->Beta Filters. Most of the face changing features for changing your eye gaze, adding thicker hair, changing emotions, and changing age are found under Smart Portrait. You can also use other neural filters like makeup transfer to apply makeup from one person to another. You can see that all the neural filters are in beta and there are many more planned. Be sure to watch the video so get the step by step.

Troubleshooting neural filters: For best results be sure to make sure your photo is cropped to focus on your subjects face, they are look directly towards the camera, and that the photo is bright enough.
