Nos merecemos cosas mejores. He estado pensando que tal vez, en lugar de solo quejarme, podría tratar de ilustrar un poco mi postura.
Una película NO es un comercial o una serie de TV. Una película es una obra de arte (buen arte o mal arte, es a juicio de cada quien).
Tomen esa escena de Harry Potter.
Además de que esta escena sirve para avanzar la trama, el director tiene a su disposición una serie de lenguajes visuales.
Es una toma continua, que hace uso del escenario (en otro escenario esta escena no podría suceder. En la mayoría de las películas malas, los eventos de la escena podrían pasar en cualquier lado y no habría diferencia) para enviarnos mensajes. Las tradicionales líneas verticales que aíslan o unen personajes, luz y oscuridad mostrando incredulidad, indiferencia, o falta de confianza, la importancia del foco escénico para que la audiencia sepa qué es lo importante, aunque haya muchas cosas en la pantalla. El movimiento armónico de la cámara, a veces simbolizando un espectador (es decir, la toma es a la altura de los ojos) y a veces rompiendo ese paradigma (como cuando atraviesa una ventana).
Las producciones al vapor de Netflix y demás nunca tienen todo esto. Sin mencionar la calidad de las actuaciones.
My grandfather made a fortune in Indonesia, smuggled arms to fight the Japanese and returned to China to build schools after the revolution.
He out chads your loser bloodline whose story you can’t even get straight.
THIS WEBSITE LETS YOU SIT IN THE WINDOW SEAT OF ANY PLANE FLYING OVER YOUR HOUSE RIGHT NOW.
no download. no app. no account.
you open the tab and you are in the sky.
it's called Stowaway. https://t.co/WFCxwmTfQi.
it finds your location. pulls every plane and satellite passing over you right now. click one. hit "Stow away" and you are in the window seat. real terrain. real weather. real light for this exact minute.
the guy who made it, jheising, said on Hacker News he built it because as a kid he would watch planes cross the evening sky and try to imagine what the world looked like from up there. Stowaway is that, without the airport.
441 points on Hacker News. people are not bookmarking it. they are flying in it.
just a website that lets a normal person see Earth from a stranger's window seat for a few minutes.
we built the internet and somehow one of the best things on it right now is still:
open tab.
sit in a stranger's plane.
watch the sunset from 35,000 feet.
Shit like this is why Indians get a bad rep. People who lie for interaction is exactly the reason we don't like larpers. “Small Mud Slide” did you see the the volume of water my dude? It was huge. People died and they are still spreading their agenda. Fuck you if you believe ts!
Just so people are clear on the level of disinformation we're dealing with here in the WSJ:
- Left on the map: the location of the mudslide
- Right on the map: the "Chinese megaconstruction project" which they imply may have something to do with it
(namely the Medog Hydropower Station project on the Yarlung Tsangpo river, which is the only thing that qualifies as a megaconstruction project in Tibet right now, alongside the Chengdu-Lhasa Railway)
