The STATED message of ELYSIUM is leftist but its SHOWN images undermine PC pieties.<br />Imagine someone at a dinner table lecturing about good manners and refinement while constantly pounding the table, using foul language, and shouting loudly. There is a disconnect or dissonance between the stated message and the performed act, and sometimes, actions speak louder than words. And maybe this action movie speaks louder its spoken words. <br />I dunno. Maybe, maybe not.

The how, if inventive enough, can make something wrong seem right. <br /><br />"Antonioni was a far left moralist who was shocked by the goings on in 'swinging London'.

While Antonioni wasn't trying to be hip, he was not a Stalinist-moralist but a Marxist-existentialist. And he knew exactly what he was doing in BLOW-UP. There was nothing 'inept' about it. It was highly original and influential at the time. <br /><br />People think something has no value if it looks easy or simple, but the power is sometimes in the imaginative process than in the technique. In terms of technique, most people can learn to draw a pretty decent Charlie Brown or Snoopy after a few weeks of practice. I drew tons of Snoopy as a child. But only Schulz, a genius, could have dreamt up the Peanuts universe and its unique characters. It's not difficult to draw Linus, but one man could have invented him in look and appearance. Lucy too. Wonderful stuff. <br /><br />While BLOW-UP make look 'inept' because it's not as showman-ish like the works of Hitchcock, it opened up new possibilities because no one had seen or captured reality like Antonioni. Coppola of THE CONVERSATION and DePalma of BLOW OUT were certainly inspired by it. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-30698263993482352382013-08-15T10:43:15.595-07:002013-08-15T10:43:15.595-07:00Dear Douglas Knight:

It is at least as old as the "New Wave".<br /><br />I took a film class in college. The prof explained how we were to arrange our shots so as to avoid the "jump cut". We have film magazines that held about two minutes of film. If we were showing a guy walking down the street or going though a door we had to be careful to match the shots so the actor didn't just suddenly appear some distance ahead as if by magic. We were also warned to shoot someone going to the left always going to the left otherwise it looked strange. <br /><br />But then he told us that Jean Luc Goddard became famous and was hailed as a genius because of his 'new look'. His shots were filled with jump cuts because he didn't know any better.<br /><br />Giuseppe Sinopoli the Italian opera conductor likewise became famous for his interpretations which were unlike those of others because he was incompetent. He never learned how to conduct properly and it made him a star.<br /><br />Antonioni was a far left moralist who was shocked by the goings on in 'swinging London'. He tried to denounce the depravity that so offended his old fashion Stalinist sensibilities in 'Blow Up' but his filmic syntax was so inept that he was praised for his 'cool' and detached non-judgmental manner.<br /><br />If a film maker avoids a heavy hand and allows the audience to draw its own conclusions he risks critics completely misinterpreting what he was trying to convey. <br /><br />When I saw District 9 I thought it was an argument for genocide of South African blacks. Certainly the prawns standing in for blacks were hideous and they proved to be dangerous and deadly to humans. I kept thinking as I watched - kill them all, kill them now, before they kill us. I think that is the simplest and most logical reaction to the story as presented. I was always a bit surprised that what I took to be a pro-genocide film was critically praised. <br /><br />From what you say of <i>Elysium</i> Blomkamp again promotes the immediate genocide of Mexicans. I guess this proves you can get away with the most radical solutions if you muddle the message enough.<br /><br />That Rodeo clown was just too clear in his message.<br /><br />AlbertosaurusPat Boylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13477950851915567863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-87376429024178287192013-08-15T07:29:05.292-07:002013-08-15T07:29:05.292-07:00Jumbo shrimp

The man was manifestly unable to wrap his head around the idea that fascists, like liberals, and everyone else, think they're the good guys. That, or he was just unable to even imagine himself seen as a villain by others. He definitely smacked into a brick wall in front of millions of viewers. It was painfully bad. The message I got from it was that he's got about a mile of libtard holier-than-thou in his intestines.<br /><br /><i>I think Milius once shouted, on the set of a different movie, "I'm the only fascist on this set!"</i><br /><br />Way I read it, IIRC, he was trying to explain to another producer-Jew that Arnold wasn't a fascist. He said something to the effect of, "Arnold's no fascist. <i>I'm</i> a fascist." That's the kind of thing I would say, lol. I love Milius, but whoever cut his more absurd and juvenile scenes from <i>Apocalypse Now</i> saved that movie. The Director's Cut is a disaster.
