@alencastro_f Caro professor Luiz Felipe, parabéns pela frase perfeita! Ela aparece citada em dois trabalhos acadêmicos, mas sem referência à coluna. Você saberia dizer quando a revista Veja publicou o texto? Abraços!

TRAIN DREAMS is a masterclass in visual framing - especially for those working with taller aspect ratios (such as 3:2, which it was uniquely shot with).

Most filmmakers are taught to use the rule of thirds when framing, and that can be a helpful guide with wider aspect ratios like 2.39:1. But when you’re working in 4:3 (or 3:2 in this case), using quadrants to frame your shots can be incredibly powerful.

Almost every shot in the film either places the focal point in one of the four quadrants, or filling one half of the shot (top, bottom, left, or right). Occasionally, shots are center framed too, which is a powerful shift after you’ve settled into the use of negative space as a viewer.

I also love the choice of wider angle lenses for closeups, which helps bring more of the environment into the nearly square frame.

Brilliant work by director Clint Bentley and DP Adolpho Veloso.

John Carpenter on Howard Hawks:

"To me, Howard Hawks presented modern America, not immigrant America like Alfred Hitchcock or John Ford. John Ford's work was about the family, the Irish settling in the country. The women were always mothers, wives; the men were always patriotic and always there for a purpose. Hawks’ movies were totally different. His soldiers were pacifists and they weren't patriots. They had to do their job; otherwise they died. The women were much more aggressive. They were modern Americans. He was showing you the American century. He showed us the way we were. He kind of created this American ideal on screen that we are still doing today over and over again. We are doing his kind of movies, his kind of characters, his kind of situations over and over again. On the contrary, you rarely see John Ford’s Drums Along the Mohawk redone for instance. You don’t see that anymore, because it’s dated. Even something like—and I really enjoyed that movie—The Grapes of Wrath is something impossible to redo today. You can’t find anything wrong with those people. They are so innocent. They are such immigrants. Hawks’ experience was of a white Anglo-Saxon Protestant, and his concerns were like, “Let's build a race car.” It was purely an American—some would say stupid or arrogant— attitude. It was simply straight-ahead behavior, and I always responded to that because it’s what makes his movies so modern. The jokes in Hawks’ movies are also funnier. They are sarcastic, and the use of sarcasm is something modern."

Hoje, o Jornal @opovo saiu com uma de suas mais geniais capas em 97 anos. Uma peça contundente, que sintetizou em si imagem e conteúdo. Se o jornal terminasse ali, já teria dito tudo. Verdadeira obra de arte. Histórica! Parabéns à competente equipe de designers e jornalistas.

Happy birthday to Lester “Pres” Young, born on this day in 1909!

With his cool, flowing tone and laid-back phrasing, Young redefined the sound of the tenor saxophone, paving the way for modern jazz and inspiring generations of players from Stan Getz to John Coltrane.

A key member of the Count Basie Orchestra, he also shone in unforgettable small-group recordings and his legendary collaborations with Billie Holiday.

A true original whose lyrical, understated style changed jazz forever.
