Surgery done.
Knee repaired.
The doubters can keep talking.
I didn’t run from the pain.
I walked straight into it.
Now the real work begins.
Comeback season starts now.
No shortcuts. No excuses.
Just the will to rise again.
At the David Keighley Theater, I watched Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” (shot entirely with IMAX® film cameras) presented in 70mm IMAX® film. Rather than simply watching the screen, I felt as though I was there the entire time. It was more than watching it, I witnessed it. The impact was close to what I felt when I was in elementary school student and when I first experienced the “Cinerama” at the “Osaka OS Theater.” Back then, I was used to watching everything on a CRT television, and the sense of immersion was unlike anything I had ever experienced. It brought back those memories. In hindsight, not having Japanese subtitles may have made the experience even better. I already knew the story well, having grown up watching the 1954 Kirk Douglas version and several black-and-white adaptations, but this was an entirely different experience. For me, it was an Odyssey unlike anything I had ever experienced. Despite the enormous 1.43:1 screen, Christopher Nolan and Hoyte van Hoytema’s cinematography brings us remarkably close to the actors’ faces. Through an exceptionally shallow depth of field and elegant pull-focus shots that shifts our attention to the finest details, they relentlessly follow the characters’ anguish and fate. The cast delivers performances powerful enough to withstand every bit of that extraordinary resolution. Nolan’s signature storytelling, with its meticulously interwoven timelines, is very much present here as well. Together, these elements elevate one of the world’s best-known classical epics into an intimate, deep human drama. It was magnificent. When it opens in Japan this September, it will be shown in digital IMAX®, but I have no doubt I’ll be making the “journey back” several more times.
@Myguyisme@Melancon_island@JurassicSouls I can’t speak for you but personally, I didn’t support AI even in 2023. We all knew where this was heading the fact that you’re able to just pick and choose who gets to use AI and who doesn’t because of the times and who was directing the film shows you can’t think for yourself
@Myguyisme@Melancon_island@JurassicSouls Three seconds or three hours if you’re using AI. You’re a piece of shit and you’re a lazy filmmaker. If you don’t have enough money to make it work then save up enough money… if you can’t separate the art from the artist within reasoning, then just don’t watch movies
@Myguyisme@Melancon_island@JurassicSouls 1: If they talk about AI…I guess that’s it’s ok especially when it’s a title card that can easily be made
2.They still used AI to make a movie
3. Does he make good films….(he doesn’t)BUT if he does, you should watch :)
@roachbrat@juggalochef2399@JurassicSouls Anyone who appreciates filmmaking hates AI you don’t have to clarify that to me. I haven’t watched James‘s work since he started complaining about Toxie but he has already posted AI so why do we only care if it’s a movie we dislike ?
@jotarobip80nsfw@JurassicSouls For the past three days, you have been crashing out on Twitter. It’s time to take a break. Take a nice long walk or something. This can’t be good for your mental health.
