Twelve Angry Men may not have any spectacular imagery, but it's cinematography is excellent. As the tension builds, the shots are taken from a gradually lower angle, tighter and tighter on the actors' faces, and with a gradually wider lens. As a result, the room gradually closes in on the actors, and the sense of claustrophobia is communicated visually. It's a very fine piece of cinema.
Won't happen. That would practically be a snuff film/pedo porno.
btw that writer is a sick twisted fuck to imagine some of the details in tht book. What an utter moron. I can't believe something as idotic as that could sell. Fucking sheep who buy this crap are even worse.
this is why womenz needz to stay in teh kitchens

overrated 
Titanic was overrated at the time it was released (and also in the Oscars) but then people started to discredit it in the years after. It's pretty a good movie IMO, probably not good enough to win all those awards but I certainly won't call it "wrong".
What?
And I thought you were one of the good guys
"A little twig-man oscar. I 'm going to call you half-squat, and you can call me... papa."

I have to admit there were a few good lines, but a film with that cast should be hilarious, for much bigger parts than it was 'kinda funny'. Maybe it was just a bit overhyped and had my expectations through the roof.
It's got nothing on The Hangover though.
I've seen 2012 aswell, great effects, so if you're into big spectacular show-films, you can't miss this one.
Yeah but Cinematography is the method, I was talking purely with regard to films like Avatat,2012 etc. where the 'method' of choosing the images is both simplistic and gay.
The bit with the fan in TAM for exmaple or the bit where Henry Fona puts the knife on the table are masterfully done, just like the ferris wheel scene in The Third Man.

I watched it with a couple of my friends and they were like they had just seen a masterpiece. I know how well-reputed this movie is and I also know that it's said to be one of the most influential movies of its time but to me it was like an emperor without any clothes
did you watch 'the 400 blows' and 'jules and jim'? oh and what do you think of kiarostami?
For God's sake, they're ruing an entire generation of females...
I read on the FML site once, smth like: I woke up, went to the bathroom and saw something shining all over my body, turns out my wife covered me with glitter while I was asleep so I "look more like Edward" FML
PS Putting Titanic and this Twilight shit in the same sentence is a sin!

Yes and no.
I really loved the 400 Blows. It was in fact one of the reasons I decided to watch the Breathless. I was yet to watch a Godard movie back then so I had planned to watch one and then Truffaut co-writing the story was compelling enough for me to go for it. It let me down though :frown:
Among all of his movies, I have only watched four. I liked Where Is the Friend's Home?, Ten, and especially Wind Will Carry Us but I found Taste of Cherry, which is probably the most renowned movie of his, rather boring and pretentious. He's the most important feature of our cinema but I prefer Majidi and Farhadi's works to his. Have you watched "About Elly"?
