The Love of Cinema - Films of 1957: The Seventh Seal
This week on the show, we welcome back our music sponsor and artist in residence, DASEIN, to discuss Ingmar Bergman’s time-tested masterpiece, “The Seventh Seal”: Films of 1957. While our audio is kooky today, our conversation is fun and moving! Dasein gives a mini-review of Steven Soderbergh’s new film, “Presence,” and then John revisits Jeff’s “A Real Pain” mini-review from last week before we get into our featured conversation.
Our phone number is 646-484-9298. It accepts texts or voice messages.

This week on the pod, Jeff gives a mini-review of “A Real Pain” starring writer-director Jesse Eisenberg and Oscar hopeful Kieran Culkin, John takes us back to “A Complete Unknown”, and Dave poops his pants having to re-watch another Ari Astor horror thriller as the boys discuss “Midsommar” as part of or random wheel generator series. We’ll give you some 2019 film news, world news, and then div...
The Love of Cinema - Films of 1993: True Romance
Просмотров 9414 дней назад
This week on the pod, after the boys catch up, honor David Lynch, and give three mini-reviews, the boys discuss 1993’s “True Romance”, the film that makes you ask, is Quentin Tarantino a better writer or director? Not that it really matters, of course, but Tony Scott directed this Tarantino/Avary script to cult superstardom. It’s Dave’s favorite QT film (maybe), and Jeff and John realize why th...

This week on the pod, It’s Dave’s Birthday! We celebrate by drinking and discussing “All About Eve.” The random year generator spun 1950, so we’ll give you some context of what was happening in the film year and world events before our featured conversation, Joseph Mankiewicz’s masterpiece starring Bette Davis and Anne Baxter. We open the episode with Dave’s mini-review of “Kraven the Hunter”, ...

This week, we have our most contentious episode in years! The boys rapid-fire some mini-reviews before our featured conversation, Mike Nichols’ 1966 triumph “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?”. “Wicked”, “Gladiator II”, “Anora”, “Juror #2”, we covered a lot! What did we argue about? You’ll have to listen to hear. Grab a beer and join us! Our phone number is 646-484-9298. It accepts texts or voice...

This week, the boys rewatch “Sicario”, the Roger Deakins- I mean, Taylor Sheridan- I mean, Denis Villeneuve film that took 2015 by storm. The random year generator spun 2015, so we give you the context of the film year (5 Billion-dollar movies!), world events (Remember the FIFA scandal?), and then discuss what makes this film stand out above the rest of its peers. At the end of the episode, Jef...

After the boys get through their mini-reviews, they discuss “Mrs. Miniver”, the 1942 Oscar-winning film that sold a whole lot of war bonds. Set outside London but filmed in the USA for obvious reasons, we discuss this William Wyler masterpiece and whether or not the propagating was too much! Our phone number is 646-484-9298.

The Love of Cinema - Films of 2001: AI Artificial Intelligence

This week, the boys discuss Stephen Spielberg’s AI: Artificial Intelligence, not to be confused with A1: The Steak Sauce. When Stanley Kubrick handed over the film, did 10-year-old John know he’d never ever be able to trust this film? Just kidding. He went in with an open mind. As did Dave, who pulled a Roger Ebert: hated it the first time he watched it but loved it this time around! Where did ...

This week, after John briefly discusses "Goodrich", the new Michael Keaton picture written and directed by Hallie Meyers-Shyer, the boys take on another Hitchcock classic to highlight the film year 1959. Chosen by our random year generator, 1959 was a doozy for world and civil news, making a mistaken identity spy thriller the perfect film to highlight. You’ll have to listen to see if the boys t...

The random year generator spun 1974, so the boys head to 1937 L.A. to discuss the Roman Polanski, Robert Towne, Bob Evans, Jack Nicholson, and Faye Dunaway classic “Chinatown”. Often cited as one of the best movies with one of the best scripts in Hollywood history, plenty has been said about this film. Still, cinematographer Dave had never seen it, John went to fancy film school, and Jeff goes ...

We feature “Decision To Leave,” Park Chan-wook’s incredibly filmed Korean film, which is considered one of the best international films of the year. Dave flexes his cinematography chops by detailing how the hell they did some shots, John gets wet talking about storytelling, and Jeff dr...

For our 250th episode this week, the boys headed to Peking to discuss the Bernardo Bertolucci masterpiece ‘The Last Emperor.’ The random year generator spun 1987, and we set up the film year, noted some world events, and then discussed how great it is to no longer have fantastic films set in Chinese spoken in English.

    I'd add the scene where the Japanese villain (played by Ryuichi Sakamoto, who also won an Oscar for the music) directs a film crew to focus on the empress while the "Emperor Walz" plays in the background. Regarding the actors speaking English: most of the primary Chinese actors were from Hong Kong (at that time a British colony) and did speak English. Moreover, the Chinese dialect spoken in Hong Kong is not the same as would have been spoken in Northern China (Mandarin and Manchu) during the period covered in most of the film. Great film and interesting to hear your thoughts.

    I think this film is so good. Its about the alienated people in society. I feel its more honest than current movies. The homophobia reflects the times, but also fits with the themes of fragile masculinity etc. As a gay guy it doesn't bither me, i think its meant to be provocative. This film is all about Joe Bucks search for his own identity. Hes been sexuzlised by his grandma from his childhood, and its only through his friendship with ratso that he can become his own person and shed the past traumas

    I can relate to people who walked out of the theater. I first watched Everything Everywhere on Blu ray at home and could only watch 15 minutes at a time cause it was just too much. By the end of the movie, I was like "Meh....pretty good. 7 out of 10". But I LOVED the film score/soundtrack so I went to see it a second time in a big movie theater.....where the whole movie clicked and I was blown out of my seat.

    Don't know what "hilarious" D&D campaigns or games people are playing that involve fat dragons, guys who walk in straight lines, along with constant Marvel-like one-liners, humor and big fight action where barely anything is taken seriously as seen in this movie. Yeah, apparently they got all the monsters, references and locations right but that's about it as far as any D&D feel goes.

    • @theloveofcinema
      @theloveofcinema Год назад

      Well.. for starters this one... they played the whole thing through as a campaign before filming. Secondly, Dragonlance saga. Lastly, your D&D is not everyone's D&D. Our campaigns had the one liners and ridiculous situations. New rule, It's ok to let something that isn't exactly what you wanted be cool. Also the Bard is useless, if that's not D&D AF I don't know what is.

Would totally suck right? Oh wait, you guys loved that dumb blatant, on-the-nose "hilarious" piece of trash too.

  • @tinanikolova
    @tinanikolova 2 года назад

    Gotta give you guys props for tackling this movie 👍 Not an easy thing for three dudes to navigate haha. I think it’s unfortunate that you seemed to see it mostly as a women’s issues movie and the purely human element was lost. It’s funny how films about men tend to be universal but movies about women are just for women or there to speak about some specific women’s issue. I realize the context is pretty difficult to ignore. I suppose many men would feel vilified or attacked (none of you said that, just generalizing if you will permit me). All I thought about was not whether this kind of conversation has been happening before or if it should be happening, but how many times I’ve had this conversation with myself in my mind, arguing all of those points. So I kept going back forth trying to decide which one was valid, and coming to realize they all were and that I’ve chosen different paths in different situations. Everyone processes trauma differently. And I don’t mean for issues concerning men vs women exclusively or even predominantly. Anyone who has ever experienced an abusive situation (at whoever’s hands) or has felt powerless or voiceless should be able to relate to the dilemma they’re tackling. But we haven’t reached a point in our society where men can identify with what women are saying, allow themselves to learn not about women, but about themselves as humans too and see themselves in their place, actually empathize. But I can see how the specifics of the story can make that difficult. I do wish we can get to a point where men won’t feel excluded from having a personal experience when listening to women and won’t just be, at best, supporters of women’s rights, but will feel truly connected as people. Yes, I’ll drink now 😂

    First of all, it would have been great if there was a woman also in this conversation. Second, Domink basically not only used a real person who is dead and can't defend for herself, and showed her being exploited over and over but he also made a choice in ignoring all her achievements as an actress, business woman and person in her lifetime. He just abused her again and again for "art".

    As long as you gentleman interact a bit more with your subscribers, I believe you will genuinely do quite well on here. While the argument that Elvis stole anything really is way off, especially as the main citation given for this is his rendering of 'Hound Dog' originally done by Big Mama Thornton. However, Hound Dog was written by two white Jewish gentleman in Lieber & Stoller, and they were among Elvis' most prolific songwriters. Elvis' version of Hound Dog was also in no way like Thornton's (who's version I prefer) & the song was not only written by Lieber & Stoller, but Elvis' version was given to him by the white group Freddie Bell and the Bellboys. Factually, Elvis was also quite loved by the black community when he started as he was also fighting the white establishment who was trying to ban him and Rock N Roll. So, consciously or not, he actually broke down the barrier for black artists to let their music through. This is acknowledged by everyone from BB King to Little Richard to Jackie Wilson, who also said - in his view - every other black artist he saw copied Elvis. Elvis was also very supportive of black artists and even helped Johnny Bragg, the lead singer of the Prisonaires, record their hit 'Walking in the Rain' at Sun Records in 1953, the year before Elvis hit big in the South with 'That's Alright Mama.' As many don't realize this, but Elvis had a bit of a stutter and so did Bragg. While it was Elvis helping Bragg with his enunciation to get through 'Walkin' in the Rain' that cemented their friendship. With Elvis, too, also going to the prison where Bragg was held to meet and offer money for lawyers and more, etc. Elvis' best friend as a boy growing up in Tupelo was also a black gentleman by the name of Sam Bell (now sadly deceased;-( , who was one of Luhrmann's key sources about Elvis for the movie. Bell grew up with his grandparents and Elvis' backyard buttressed up to Bell's grandparent's yard which was directly behind Elvis' home to the south. The scenes of Elvis looking in at the brothel, etc., being a recreation of the times he would visit Shakerag, a thriving little black community about a mile south of Bell's home. It was there that Elvis met Muddy Waters as a child and other blacks in the community took an interest in him b/c he was so polite and also had a fascination w/music.

      We love interacting with our subscribers and anyone else who wants to throw in a comment here and there. This is a very detailed and thorough response to a question that was asked on the show. Was the subject sugar coated or not. It was asked because Dave seriously did not know and wanted to know. The thesis you have answered with has been enlightening and seems to be thoroughly researched. As always we welcome discussion, and we hope you've seen the movie and not just been triggered by the innocent question. If you haven't seen the movie.. see it as soon as you can in Dolby Cinema as the mix is fantastic.

      I still haven't watched the final episode of S2 cause then there would be no more Raised by Wolves.

    I liked Tom in the roll. He had the drawing power to get peoples attention that this wasn’t going to be same old thing about Elvis. To me it was brilliant

      I think everyone on the show agrees with you. It was a very "warts and all" portrayal that should be recognized.
