That is a REALLY interesting question. I am not sure this is the best thread to post it in since it gets so little traffic and quite honestly, I'm not even sure this is the best forum to post it in since this place is mostly visited by 2 channel music folks.
? Happy New Year Chuck!
I agree; it's not a well "traffic" thread...with very very few posters of film watchers. WBF is first and foremost a 2-channel stereo ultra hi-hi forum (analog...and digital).
But there are other subjects like films, boats, cars, youtube videos, travels, etc., that are also part of our life's routine.
Myself I am a 90% music lover, and a 90% movie lover...the 10% remaining is for everything else I love even more or/and equally...like people, friends, family, pets, and justice for all. ...There is even a movie title by that name. :b
My question, in my thread, is a fair (on topic) question; because it asks about a preference among three choices including the Best Movie Experience, inside a Movie Review thread.
It's a fair and good question; there is no doubt in my mind...100% abso!utely certain.
For, me, and assuming the "movie experience" was of the more modern variety with a well done music score, it is a no brainier. Allegedly we do this [music and movies] for the emotional experience. And I can think of no (not live) music listening experience that comes close to being able to transport me emotionally as deep and as wide and as far as some of the outstanding films I have viewed.
Think about posting this question in some other forum [along with my response]. Should be fascinating.
? Great suggestion...great reply.
-> This thread is a film vehicle, a window to the impacting movie world with the full gamut of human emotions from two of our most sensitive senses: our vision and our hearing.
I said above that the amount of traffic here is very very minimal; very few posters but the ones who do are high caliber movie lovers with a unique touch.
I consider WBF members an elite of movie watchers. The film's content is more important story wise and musically and cinematography wise and emotionally than the rest.
2016 is the year of changes, the year of improvements, the year of substantial advancement; this thread itself included. Films are more than visual experiences; they are an artistic vision of a movie director in the message conveyed...just like musicians and singers conveying their own messages...of love, consciousness, peace, revolt/turbulence (some RAP and Heavy Metal), sweet melodies (Adele, Mariah Carey, Petula Clark, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, ...), power (full orchestral works from the grand masters), extreme sublimity (exquisite and smooth piano solos...Chopin, Mozart, ...), and all the rest.
This is a movie/music forum inside a movie thread...right here. Music because all films have a Music score composed by a music composer. It is the glue that gel the moving pictures inside our soul (emotions of the heart and mind). Charlie Chaplin had solo piano music in some of his films, and without spoken words (silent), and the occasional subtitle to keep track with the story flow.
Discussions are the source of intellect development, and in films like in music we can learn to be better music listeners and film watchers with the material we like and the positive vibes we get out of all of it. And we are all different (a beauty) as to the type of films and music we have learn to like, to love, to explore, to evolve with.
Chuck, there are many great thread's subjects that I can
amorce, but this is one right here right now in 2016 and already in progression. ...Films/music score...emotional stories/messages...impact on more senses than music 2-channel stereo hi-fi only listening. By just saying this I just answered my own previous question.
lost for words north?
great warning/review. Not really seen, except the 1st ~10 minutes over at a friends. It looked good, but I'd already read (quote.fav.reviewer) this ...
Greetings again from the darkness. In an effort to be helpful to potential viewers, it's customary to provide a synopsis that allows for a quick determination on whether this "type" of movie will hold appeal. The problem is that this debut from writer/director (and novelist) S. Craig Zahler can be encapsulated with a simple: four local men from a small, dusty old West town head out on a rescue mission to face a tribe of cannibal cave-dwellers. Unfortunately, that analysis doesn't cover the originality and genre-twisting of this Western-Horror film featuring crisp and funny dialogue, plus some of the most extreme brutality ever witnessed on screen.
... so even without seeing it, which I reluctantly but willingly will, your warning seems wise.
? I am certainly not short on words (silence is my best instrumental description). I told it like it truly resonated inside me. And I admitted that it started real slow, inferior production, poor acting, very very meh...and then I got into it slowly but very very surely @ one time in point.
I could describe in very intimate details my emotional trance from some of the scenes...but I decided to be silent about it...and let you (the viewers) free of your own set of emotions.
Bone Tomahawk is raw, severe, a not so normal western, a character study, a film not for everyone (in particular the very sensitive type...eg.; some of our wives, friends, children, etc.), and it can be shocking and disturbing to even the toughest of the toughest. ...How people react to it is personal and there is no glorification, no redemption, it's a film from a filmmaker's own vision...a la mix of some twixt. The words are right there; it's just that I let you guys pick them on your own.
If you see the film and that you share your impression right here in your own words; you can bet that I'll be discussing it with anyone. Nothing is free; when we experience a music recording, a film experience...it's different for all of us. I don't want to influence no one; it's delicate on how fragile we all are.
Last word: Watch the film and we'll talk using all the words from the encyclopedia of cinema,
TBone, with
Bone Tomahawk. :b
