I am not particularly fond of movies in deserts - for some reason it is one playground that I don't find very beautiful (save Sergio Leone's stuff...) but usually desert dryness turns me off.<br /><br />Narratively, things felt too jumpy and inconsistent for me. I really didn't care for the 1st 3rd of the film or so, when they were in the prison and their escape through the blizzards. <br />Certainly some interesting elements in the film, but in the end it didn't feel as epic to me as it seems to be hailed to be. The rice fields on those mountains though, by God, how beautiful. <br /><br />I did comment on your Gondry post, too, but I think I didn't submit the comments! alas...Matthew Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16504583391561749040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2687765082677048052.post-4996480836493910252011-01-14T04:32:06.856-08:002011-01-14T04:32:06.856-08:00Do people watch movies in Cinema's anymore? My...Do people watch movies in Cinema's anymore? My experience in the last few years; I watch movies on my little Mac and lots of them. A theatre has less of a place today with all the easily accessible content online, the exception has been 3D, but that too is coming to consumers.<br /><br />Film is on borrowed time with the increasing use of digital cinema cams. The pipeline is increasingly digital, and the pipe is getting cheaper and more universal. We can look forward to increasing democratization of cinema making, tools are cheap, an individual with her laptop can perform every task of post-production. The files are never printed to plastic, why should they? The distribution of films will be a matter of data, data that copies without cost, without degradation, and without physical transport. Likely we won't suffer encryption DRM like we have, its easily cracked and alienating to legit users. We'll likely see streaming "just in time" content. <br /><br />Is Cinema to follow the Stage? are films loosing relevance?<br />I think we'll find that a cinema is far from over, but that elements of cinema will fuse with interactive media. New tech means photo-real imagery synthesized in realtime. I think we can use the methods developed by film towards an Augmented Cinema, chimeric with the users gaze and an informatic world made whole frame by frame.<br /><br />virgil politsocialvirgilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18396583339460586480noreply@blogger.com
