Lulu starts remembering that night in the past, the camera starts a slow push in as she reflects, the piano starts to play, and then the camera pans right - we're now in the hotel room, and Mr. Chow adjusts her dress (the Cheongsam)...

Yuddie wanted to see his birth mother, but she wouldn't let him, and so he turned his back, walked down the road, and the music starts to play, the camera speed shifts, and it's so magical...

In his words:

"I finally arrived at my mother's house, but she didn't want to see me. The maids told me she no longer lived there.

As I was leaving, I could feel a pair of eyes watching me from behind,

but I was determined not to turn around. I just wanted to find out what she looked like. Since she wouldn't give me that chance, I wouldn't give it to her either."

First the music. Then the low ceiling in the flat, with the poor electricity and makeshift furniture. He fastidiously files his nails. Then he dons his coat. Then the money, then the cards and cigarettes...

The music times perfectly to his fingers as he grabs the coins...

Fantastic mis-en-scene.

Mr. Chow and Bai Ling have been out for dinner and drinks. They're now in the taxi riding home. The music plays, and from the expression on Bai Ling's face, we can tell she has just fallen in love.

It's an absolutely achingly beautiful scene.

If you do a thorough analysis of the following scene, there's a lot more symbolism and foretelling going on then you might first pick up on. It has a lot to do with the lyrics of the Blue Oyster Cult song. It's not just the symbolism of the lyrics in the beginning, nor the perfect timing of the attack matched with a single line in the song, but also the song's rhythmic repetition of its title as a foretelling of what is to come next.

Simply amazing photography combine with editing.

closing credits of contact: the words "for carl" appear in black and white.
closing credits of higher learning: the word "unlearn" appears in black and white, which then becomes my personal mantra for life.

The late Roger Ebert called Pale Flower one of the great films - he gave it four stars, as he did The Godfather. See his review: http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/great-movie-pale-flower-1964

Mariko Kaga's lovely face and eyes are, well lovely, in that film. You should really explore all the clips I've provided. I posted 23 clips so far. They aren't all the same, so you can't judge the set by watching one.

This ordinarily wouldn't be the first scene I'd choose from this film (which is very powerful and profound as films go), but it's about the only one I can find online, and it is indeed a good scene.

It starts out with a sort of mis-en-scene style (almost reminiscent of Ozu), but then proceeds to the performance given by the woman playing the wife. Since many of Yang's films star people who have never acted before, I can't really name the actors and actresses. Nonetheless, their performances are extraordinary.

I don't really want to describe the context here, but suffice to say, the husband has come home and discovered that his wife is essentially having a breakdown.

This film is without a doubt one of the greatest films ever made, and the Sight & Sound poll has it in the top 100 (of all films ever made).

The clip is a little dark to begin with, but then lightens up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JzS1wqS7KY


Title: Re: Your favorite movie moments?
Post by: FirstAscent on July 05, 2013, 03:28:30 AM
And in fact, in relation to the above post, the entire film is online currently via YouTube. Just watch the beginning, if nothing else. As I said, it is one of the most beautiful and profound films you will ever see, with themes that are universal. It will move and affect you in several ways. Directed by Edward Yang, one of two directors pretty much responsible for the Taiwan New Wave which began in the '80s. I have it on Blu-ray, and that would be the preferred way to watch it.

It is a masterpiece. It is Yi Yi: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COXySK50ZR4

This is art, right here...

In subtle slow motion, we see the sway of her hips in her floral print cheongsam dress, the delicate swing of her purse, the dangling cigarette in her companion's hand, the quiet nighttime street of Hong Kong, all the while, Nat King Cole sings Aquellos Ojos Verdes. If you were to see this on Blu-ray, with Dolby 5.1 Surround, in an excellent home theater, you would be in heaven.

Note: sometimes YouTube screws up the entry point. We're looking for time marker 0:28:51.

Title: Re: Your favorite movie moments?
Post by: FirstAscent on July 06, 2013, 03:53:54 AM
Okay, be sure to look at the one in my post above. The context, of course, is the director, as the clip below is a different movie, but the same director.

Read this before watching the clip:

More pure cinematic art can be seen here. You want to watch from 1:33:00 to 1:37:38. That's about 4:38 seconds. Absolutely beautiful on so many levels.

It's Christmas Eve, probably the year 1967, in Hong Kong. Mr. Chow loves this woman, but she loves another.

As far as the soundtrack goes, first we hear the beautiful restaurant music, then Adiago by Secret Garden, and then finally the opera music as we recall from the story within the story the train ride in the future with the relativistic effect and then we see a Ken Burns style pan of a still photograph of Mr. Chow on the hotel rooftop. And then finally, her exit, as she, in a green checked dress turns around and looks directly into the camera.

Watch the whole thing, and try and follow the dialog and narration. As I said, pure and beautiful cinematic art. Turn the volume up and enjoy!

Again, note
: Youtube might not get to the exact spot. Make sure you start at 1:33:00.

When reading the title I instantely thought of dumber and dumber starring Jim Carrey. When they pick up the guy in their car and Jim Carrey (Llyod) says "Do you know what the most annoying noise is?" (something along those lines) and then does a funny ass impression.


Title: Re: Your favorite movie moments?
Post by: FirstAscent on July 10, 2013, 06:03:37 PM
All in subtle slow motion...

Mrs. Chan, dressed in one of her cheongsams, walks into the dining area filled with her neighbors. Then, with a seductive sway of her hips, Mrs. Chow, dressed in a more western style dress, joins them.

Yumeji's Theme is playing.

Mr. Chow then excuses himself. He walks out, and then we pan back to see Mrs. Chan comforting her husband.

Such glorious cinematography.

Warning: YouTube sometimes messes up the entry point of videos marked at a certain point. Be sure to set the video's time marker to 4:11.

Hlynur, so good to see your return to discussion of films. It's been lonely in this land devoid of cinephiles. I got your message. Haven't replied yet, obviously. Please pick back up the Asian films thread - plenty more to say, but it helps when there's someone else to converse with.
couldn't resist posting.  :D
will continue in asian movie thread this we when I've watched some of your recommendations.
Don't feel too confident now to discuss about asian cinematography when I see your knowledge.
At least I can contribute some of the gems I've stumbled upon.

One doesn't need great knowledge. Just curiosity. A question here or there goes a long way. I'm always willing to share, but not so much when there's no back and forth.

That is hard. Here is a list of random movies I like and can think of.


Dreams
The matrix
Beasts of the southern wild
Natural born killers
Apocalypse now
Barton Fink
Saving private Ryan
Mongol
Slumdog Millionaire

I could go on forever. My favorites are often movies that I have not heard of, then find on netflix.

Children of Men
this movie has absolutely ground-breaking camera work

3min shot "Car scene", no cut
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zkb0SecL-9I

Historically one of the best shots of the last decade:
"Uprising scene" (whole version is a much longer steadicam shot around 10 min again no cut!!!)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twcKoAQ7HIg
it even got the SOC Award 2012 by society of camera operators...(background info: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uvq3fKgvzro)


and of course the "Cease Fire" scene at the end. Emotionally one of my alltime favourites moments of western cinema. (you need to watch the whole movie to understand the culmination in this scene though)

Dude! You saw Days of Being Wild? Do you realize that two other films on the list are essentially sequels to that film? Taken together, they amount to an amazing experience. I can't watch this youtube video featuring the song Perfidia without getting goosebumps of pleasure rolling up and down my spine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtkjXu-kEds

Do yourself a big favor and watch In the Mood for Love and 2046, the films which come after it.

Also, I would recommend that you immediately seek out the film Yi Yi on the list above. Truly a masterpiece. You have no idea.

Dance scene from Pulp Fiction with Mia Wallace and Vincent Vega: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ik-RsDGPI5Y

I once reenacted this with a brunette girl. Possibly the best time of my life. It felt like we were playing in the goddamn movie. I'd give all my money to be timewarped back to that moment.

Dude, you didn't follow the instructions. I posted the list twice, with and without stars. Please quote the list that does not have stars, and put one star by films you're already aware of, but haven't seen but want to see, and put two stars by the films you've already seen.

I never saw saw. I never saw any saws. On the one hand, I really don't want to. On the other hand, I might be inclined to see saw. But really, is this the height of cinema? Share with me what you think might be the best films that you have seen. Note that this might be a little different from your favorite films, but not too much. Additionally, tell me what you might think might be the best film or two that you have not seen, but which you definitely want to see.

I read somewhere recently where somebody explains why the film is junk. I don't totally agree with that, nor do I put the film on a pedestal.

First, watch all Saws, amazing gore/traps/storylines.

I like most of Francis Coppola's films, he's an amazing director. Any films with Robert De Niro or Al Pacino.

Transporter (all parts) is a brilliant action film.
