[SPOILER] ::: First i want say about the rotoscope animation, this is first film i saw like this, it’s a unique way to portray the story without any real life constraints. and the story also was good with a well casted characters. In the beginning i wasn’t able to understand the intricacies of the movie, specifically the opening sequence, but later on found he was paranoid. It took me long enough to understand and when it revealed it’s quite intriguing to learn about the addiction and surveillance(just on small scale). This story was written by Philip K Dick. One of the unique writer for his thoughts and what a contribution he made to the cinema. I watched some of his works like Blade runner, Total Recall and this. I noticed his works are mainly based on what is reality and dystopian fiction. Im interested to watch “The Man in the High Castle” next which i heard was a proper adaptation of his novel. I like to hear your thoughts about this movie and other of his works too.

I wish to know if someone could write a story, would they write the character with an actor/actress in mind, or would they develop a character from inspiration and cast someone aptly? Both approaches occur, but what would you prefer?

Because great directors like Martin Scorsese and Tarantino often cast actors like DiCaprio and Samuel Jackson repeatedly in their movies, are they writing characters specifically for them, or are these actors simply suitable for the directors’ vision?

Apart from the business perspective, many still prefer the story to the cast. The success is not fathomed by the box office collection, the impact of the flick is the real success imo.

I believe that a good artist with strong writing is essential for success. If I write a character for an actor I like, they may not resonate with the role and decline involvement. What could you do in such a scenario?

I dont know why the remakes are producing now more than ever. It was a huge hit and remained as a classic, no one asked for that and many gonna despise by comparing with the classic. Same for Harry Potter.

WB finally give an update of approving a new project on animated movie which is gonna produce by James Gunn, the new creative head of DC and that movie gonna release on theatres. It’s none other than Jurassic League.

We asked for Batman Beyond, but they gonna give us the Dinosaur version of Justice league. So clearly we can know that WB not gonna make films for the fans. No point on remaining as a fan for them.

He portrayed Iroh well in my opinion. He showed the emotional side of Iroh and not humorous like the cartoon. But it’s not a downside because the new viewers will not agree if everyone were comical in a story like this. Cartoon is different. This is like an entry point if they wish to see Avatar series.

I agree, he made his son to train karate, jiu jitsu, acrobatics for daily 6hrs, all days in a week for 2 years to act in the role of Paul on Dune. He was only 13 at that time.

Jodorowsky’s Dune (lemmy.world)
submitted 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) by capcool@lemmy.world to c/movies@lemmy.world

I watched the documentary about Jodorowsky’s Dune and it was jaw-dropping. I’ve never seen any of his movies, but I’ve heard about him as an occult figure. With the overwhelming fame of Dune, I heard about this documentary and watched it without any expectations. However, it completely changed my perception.

What a visionary creation! I’m stunned by the meticulous storyboard which had the camera moments of how he’s gonna show the story by the camera. This documentary featured some scenes from his movies like ‘El Topo’ and ‘The Holy Mountain,’ which inspired me to watch the movies.

What a crew he had: Jean Giraud, Giger, Chris Foss, and so many more. It showed how his team was used in Hollywood and how his creation made a huge impact on movies like Prometheus, Contact, and Alien.

He had a different ending from Herbert’s Dune, and it was good. The characters and the landscape were colourful and distinct in all ways like the texture, music and architecture. After it stalled for financial reasons, he made another creation as a comic inspired by what he created from Dune called “The Incal”, which Taika Waititi is going to adapt as a film. I hope it has the same artwork so we can see the vision from Jodorowsky’s Dune.

Just finished watching the live action and i absolutely loved it. This is best in quality and Albert Kim (program creator) proved he’s a fan. This show got everything and felt bit of rushed from the cartoon. But they beautifully condensed the story we saw on 20 episodes into 8 episodes. Gordon Cormier portrayed Aang so well. I felt him like Aang because he had the responsibility(convince the fans) to carry out this role at this young age. This show doesn’t have fun elements as like in animation, but it felts so realistic to the new audience. Hopefully this series could bring more viewers to the original series. There are many sequences which are only on the book are shown and it makes more sense to the story. Netflix should bring the next season soon before the cast gets more old. I know the creators of this show left Netflix due to creative differences, but Netflix did a good job.

I concur, the original always seemed great, we are connected with that. But this one is good imo to watch how it would on real life. Apart from the original, they showed what they can compile 20 episodes in to 8, and it still doesn’t seems rushed for me. It will be more likeable not only for the fans but also the general audience.

[-] capcool@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I like this series on my childhood, if they got a good story with the same quality of animation as in spiderverse, this could be great for us and wb.

I heard wb wasn’t interested at the beginning, but after heard the story, they didn’t rejected nor accepted. Atleast James Gunn should come forward for this. Because they shouldn’t only rely on universe films, marvel did that mistake. I hope dc would accept this project.

Im using on iphone 12 running on 17.3.1(latest version) and the apps version also latest on 1.0.8.

Having a feature to edit posts or comments after they are published within the app itself would be great for correcting mistakes or adding additional information.

I too thought about that on zuko, but sokka is more than from cartoon like muscular and tall. But acting wise they are great.

ATLA - Live action (lemmy.world)
submitted 10 months ago by capcool@lemmy.world to c/avatar@lemmy.world

Watched half of the show and its really good. I saw some reviews of good and bad about this series, but from what I experience is kinda fresh and nostalgic. I finished rewatch of ATLA and TLOK only a couple of months ago, and this live series gimme a very good vibe of the cartoon. The quality is good and explored much than on cartoon. The pace is good and it doesn’t feel rushed like the movie. Nothing to spoil but i could say the characters are portrayed as they were we enjoyed by the cast. I honestly recommend everyone to experience how it was in real life.

Spartacus (1960) (lemmy.world)
submitted 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) by capcool@lemmy.world to c/moviesandtv@lemm.ee

Watched Spartacus last week, and it simply marvellous. Its been more than 60 years since it released, and this movie did great for me. Watched this for Stanley Kubrick, following his filmography for a while and his ambiguous portrayal amused me. I hadn’t much expectation on this, but i saw some resemblance of this on some movies Ive watched earlier. Many of the scenes left me curious of how they’d done this like, a big smoke to the clouds from mountains on the back. I thought that was a set, but the smoke really moved upwards. In a particular scene where Spartacus talks to Varinia about how he felt about life and things he wanted to learn. Great sequence to remind about something on life. If you guys know about this movie’s references or anything related please share. Thank you.

No hate to anyone, but imo, social media has lost the original meaning for which it was founded. It was created for communicating with people, but many have become completely absorbed in it and forgotten how to live and talk in reality. There is so much to learn from these platforms beyond mere amusement, but they have become solely about entertainment. There is no respect for anyone with the anonymity it had. While it has its own pros and cons, I feel it’s declining, and companies don’t seem to care about this issue until they stop making profits.

Walked around like more than 14 kms in 2 hours. Went to a competition on a different districts women’s college. No mode of transport was there, only buses were available but men aren’t allowed in. Got to walk around the border of the district to got the bus.

[-] capcool@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Why not? Its one of the best released last year, with a good story line and assiduous animation work.

[-] capcool@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Imo sony took fans take it as granted, its not the first time, they are ruining it, Morbius and venom 2 were critically panned before. The only thing i liked from them at present is Spider-verse animated movies. Such a great movies.
