i could fix him (kikuchiyo from acclaimed movie seven samurai, 1954)

The Little Art Connoisseur (1863) August Friedrich Siegert

like everything aside what's the idea behind casting one black woman and then everyone else is sickly pale snow white? no nuance? like no olive skin no tanned no light brown, people either come in black (but only one person, god forbid) or white??

#the theories and speculation about how mediterranean people look like and if the cast is legit or not #was it too much work to just idk look at a bunch of people in mediterranean??#probably yes #how can you trust those filthy mediterraneans to look authentic and attractive to the modern western audience #big oscar nominee knows better you people are insane the mediterranean isn't even real

listening and taking notes

Surely these circumstances will improve with additional shame

Here's the confirmation - the backlash this film has received put Nolan's spin doctors on overdrive.

The film is released next month.

#oh he sounds *desperate* desperate #he's releasing a lot of interviews and making random statements that sound like please young people like me haha please #the original decision to not allow influencers to attend previews because nolan is top high and mighty for that being changed to #having influencers previews before the official release in theatres so someone outside the cast itself may say nice things #about the movie #but also the promotional clownery like the popcorn bucket and the batman helmet hide and seek quest #like damn #the criticism so irrelevant they giving out a television if you buy a ticket for the movie?

comunque mai nella vita avrei immaginato che mi sarei trovato a pensare madonna alberto angela come sei arrivato a questo punto ma a quanto pare è successo

#mister ho deciso che l'orchestra non va bene per un film sull'odissea perché non è storicamente esatta #ma forse dovremmo lasciare più spazio a robocop nella mitologia greca perché l'epica è un poco fantasy un poco marvel cinematic universe #meet ulisse il piacere della scoperta #alberto angela io ti voglio bene ma se durante l'intervista non hai posto la domanda fra ma che cazzo stai dicendo? io non posso perdonarti #alberto angela io ti voglio bene ma se durante l'intervista non hai preso a sassate nolan io non ti posso perdonare

What are you reading rn, why are you reading it, and what format are you reading it in (physical book, ereader, on your phone etc)

#the island of the day before‚ by eco #in an ugly paperback edition i had a heated argument about with the seller #i got it to read on the sixteen×2 hours flight and (not to brag) barely made to page 23 so i am going on with it

being this the era of cringe american remakes of classics it's mad funny that the pr campaigns are left to people (both directors and actors) who have literally no idea about the original source (which is in itself not a crime as that's not their job description), made no effort to learn anything and they are so shamelessly ignorant and disrespectful to whoever gives a fuck too

#the odyssey is a personal one because my dad used to tell me the story every day growing up and i spent my summers by the sea of calypso #i got half crazy over translating on the fly the text of homer and remembering the importance of language #so it's ultimately irrelevant if tom holland 'wouldnt have said father' because now his word means less than nothing #but the american cinematic industry also does it and has done it for decades with northern culture #like the absolute clownery around vikings #it has done it about mm everything while dismissing any criticism as 'but it's popular culture that belongs to everyone'#yes it does but not in a vacuum lol #anyway sorry i was bored today i am embracing my hater moment these days

what kills me most about the odyssey costume design discourse is the "realism" defence because what is more realistic than historically accurate clothing? ''it would look stupid'' no it would look exactly the way it's supposed to. if you think that the culture you're actively profiting from is stupid and needs fixing then think again. ''it's just not nolan's style'' well then maybe he shouldn't be adapting the odyssey. do you have any idea how messed up it is to take such a culturally significant story and strip it of all it's native elements because they don't fit your aesthetic? it reeks of entitlement. nolan fans who take this criticism personally and attack everyone need to understand that it also reflects badly on nolan as a filmmaker. to have a production this big be so careless, get the most basic things wrong and end up looking cheap as a result because the director couldn't be bothered otherwise is an extremely bad look. no one is stopping you from watching and enjoying this movie but the odyssey is one of the most important epics in history. it deserves better

literally + it just speaks volumes about his absolute inadequacy at having a true artistic vision + shows a fundamental lack of effort in doing the minimum research when it comes to anything outside the hollywood standard because there's many examples of keeping close to accurate -with an authorial twist- that look beautiful today as it did forty years ago

+ the flashing incompetence in like filming because there's no way he had at his entire disposal entire lands in the mediterranean* and he still managed to make the landscape look generic and gray like genuinely how does one even do that + the entitlement of having actual greek experts in the historical and design field and going full batman mode why because it doesn't fit the dark night vibes?

#sorry op i fully agree with your words but got carried away with the hater in me #just say the word and i will delete it 💔#now to complete the hating moment: the imax thing 'ooh but you'll watch a cut movie' brother made a new yorker au of the odyssey for #accessibility and filmed it in a way that makes it accessible in four theatres top‚ ok #and his recent statements are pathetic and go more pathetic by the day crazy to think he used to don't do interviews to keep #keep this aura of mysterious genius and now he's literally saying 'well you can't judge my movie before watching it ):'#my brother in christ you're in the industry you shall know what trailers are for #sorry op

there are too many movies. lets start by getting rid of christopher nolan

#aye fingers crossed

watching nakadai in his prime under the stars, maybe life is nice
