acsc1312 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I hope we have a real battle between The Master and DU leading up to the Oscars. I'm thinking Django wins the Globes, and (hopefully) The Master wins the Oscar. I'm just hoping The Master lives up to expectations (which is highly likely), so people can't bitch that it's just a "due" Oscar. Same goes for Django I guess.

CoolioD1 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I really can't see it ending up being a Django vs. The Master thing, but we'll wait and see, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acsc1312 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I can't really, either, as I think Django will be too campy to win anything major. Maybe Les Mis vs The Master is more likely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4815162342 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Terrence Malick strikes again with his insane editing habits completely eliminating major actors/actresses' filmed parts from his movies. His latest victims for To the Wonder:Rachel WeiszMichael SheenAmanda PeetJessica Chastainhttp://movies.yahoo.com/blogs/movie-talk/rachel-weisz-reveals-she-cut-terrence-malick-next-190402775.htmlThis is one of Malick's infamous traits, most famously associated with what happened to The Thin Red Line.

The Futurist Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 It seems The Master is the most difficult and challenging PTA movie for the audience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackO Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Malick's To The Wonder sounds as divisive as ever. Applause was hearty in my section of the Sala Darsena, but people I ran into outside were struggling with the almost all-voice-over competition entry that is “the least narrative” of Malick’s movies. Malick’s last picture, Tree Of Life, certainly had its fans and detractors, but people I spoke to today felt that film had “more of a story” and “real characters.” Olga Kurylenko is Wonder‘s central character who sets the scene talking about love in voice over as she and Affleck wander through Paris and on to Mont St. Michel – the “Wonder” of the title. But the voice over isn’t used solely to set the scene, it’s almost the only dialogue device Malick uses throughout. Javier Bardem plays a disillusioned priest in the Midwest town where Kurylenko and Affleck’s characters set up house. A house that never has a lot of furniture, but a fair bit of frolicking and fighting. McAdams is a woman struggling after the loss of a child with whom Affleck takes up briefly. The storylines of the four characters are only vaguely intertwined. The film often employs circles and moving objects spinning in rounds – including ferris wheels and a rollercoaster – for symbolism. But, after the screening, people were talking about the constant twirling that Kurylenko’s character engages in. She almost never stops moving – leading folks to wonder if she wasn’t dizzy for half the shoot. http://www.deadline.com/2012/09/venice-ben-affleck-has-almost-no-lines-in-terrence-malicks-divisive-to-the-wonder/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4815162342 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Malick doesn't tell stories Dex, he tells "philosophies and visual arts." His most recent films have almost nothing in the way of story, they're all frames for the philosophical meandering he wants to express.As for entertainment...yeah, you don't watch Malick films to be entertained, because the actual entertainment value of his films approaches zero. A person watches those films for their technological ability and aesthetic quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
