From the proto-Noir-crime thrillers, the classics of the ‘40s and ‘50s (perhaps do a few different criteria, to get more on the list), European Noirs (The Third Man, Elevator to the Gallows are a few examples), then Hollywood Noirs (Noirs about Hollywood specifically, like Sunset Boulevard, In A Lonely Place and L.A. Confidential), Neo Noir, Sci-Fi Noir and even Noir comedies (The Big Lebowski and Who Framed Roger Rabbit being top contenders)

I think the key to "The Favorite" is sort of exactly as pointed out: The *presentation* of "old fashioned" as "modern"... because, at the time, it *was*. It's an excellent way to show perhaps the subtext to events, speech patterns, and fashions we today see as stodgy and dated. It sort of like how Shakespeare was the Stephen King of his time; or perhaps a Steven Spielberg or Spike Lee - common entertainment for the common man; not in any way the "boring" and "difficult" writer tons of school children view him today. This was reality... and reality, human reality, hasn't really changed much at all in millennia. Only our perception of it changes.
@giascle
@giascle 2 жыл бұрын
I've always thought Stephen King is the perfect analogue to Shakespeare. In addition to being common entertainment for the common man as you said, they both have (had) absolutely ridiculous output, lots of it utterly brilliant, but some of it downright terrible. After King's death, conspiracies will surely arise that there's no way a single man wrote hundreds of classic books and short stories - tons of which have been adapted to other mediums - or that the same man responsible for The Shawshank Redemption is also responsible for Dreamcatcher.

I absolutely loved this video. In the spring I wrote a long ass paper about Goodfellas and how biopics or "docudramas" adapt truth and history and use filmic language to create themes or emphasis character arcs. I'd seen Goodfellas about a hundred times but never read Wiseguy. I couldn't believe how little was changed between the two, Hill's life really was that crazy, almost nothing was made up. Anyway, biopics are a really interesting interstice between truth and reality and I'm really glad you guys made this video!!!

Anne *was* Queen of Scotland, but she was also queen of England, Ireland, and (according to her at least) France. There's a big statue of her outside St. Paul's Cathedral in London with allegorical figures around the base representing her dominions: Britannia, Ireland, France, and America. Anne never visited Scotland; when George IV did so in 1822, it had been 171 years since the last reigning British monarch visited the country.

In terms of autobiographical movies, Jodorowsky’s two movie series with "The Dance of Reality” and "Endless Poetry" have always been some of my favorites. Taking Jodorowsky’s idiosyncratic absurdist, surreal style and placing it in his own childhood to adulthood is done in such a memorable and profound way. I really hope he does that last film in his trilogy before he passes.

Jamie Fox and Ray spent some time together, jamming and getting a feeling for each other and at one poínt you could REALLY feel Ray himself was absolutely happy and basically gave his blessing. Jamie Fox did absolute justice to this man and i was sitting through the entire movie all transfixed and absolutely captivated by that amazing performance. Not just by him but by everyone on the cast.

The book doesn't mention that he tried to return the NOI at least twice, writing to Elijah Mohammed. Betty tried to leave Malcolm at least twice. Malcolm realized he was going to have to change the family dynamic in order for Betty to feel better and stay before he died.

I love a good biopic. I understand going in, the film's telling of life of the subject will be condensed and 'tweaked' to fit both the general narrative and the time frame. But, if told well; it can give a look into the essence of the subject; depicting the surrounding influences that made the person's life worth the telling. Now, if I want to see the closest one can come to understanding the realities an individual's life; that's what documentaries are for. :)

Life doesn't feel that way.

What really irks me though is when they overplay the subject's role as a hero and ignore the people beside him/her. A major example of a film guilty of this is Patton. While it DOES give Montgomery and the British some credit, it completely leaves out one of the greatest commanders for the US in World War II: Matthew Ridgway. In both the Italian Campaign AND the Battle of the Bulge, Ridgway led the airborne divisions and was credited as being vital to the success of the Allies in each. However, he gets ZERO credit in the film, Patton gets virtually ALL of the glory. Even more insulting is that Ridgway doesn't even appear in the film, never mind he and Patton met personally on occasion over the course of the war. The result of that film is that everyone thinks Patton alone was often the man of the hour, when really he should only get 50% credit. Ridgway meanwhile has been nearly forgotten to history, his name is almost NOWHERE in the public discourse and his accomplishments equally ignored. So upsetting as a history buff.

They only got the briefest of mentions, but I can’t recommend 24 Hour Party People and American Splendor enough. My top 2 favorite biopics. Probably not a coincidence that they both flirt with breaking the 4th wall and other flights of fancy. They’re both more interested in capturing the spirit of their subjects more than the facts.

As Josh Groban sang on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend: “If you saw a movie that was like real life You’d be like ‘What the hell was that movie about? It was really all over the place.’ Life doesn’t make narrative sense.”

Love love love that you spent so long on Persepolis, the movie and graphic novel are so wonderful and poignant, personal yet universal. About small difference, from what I remember, is that in the movie she hints at an assault, which isn't in the book. (Also by the way, the A in her name Marjane, is pronounced as in cat, and not AY)

Kudos for recognizing malcolm x. Just a massive shame spike didn't include yuri kochiyama in the assassination scene. An important but forgotten moment in the Civil rights movement.

Thank you for pronouncing 'biopic' properly. If you'd gone the other way, I wouldn't have been able to watch this. In other news, Queen Anne was queen of Great Britain, not just Scotland.

You should've mentioned "Wired" by Bob Woodward about John Belushi. Not a hit, but interestingly told by John's corpse as he lay on the table at the LA Coroner's office.

I suppose if the definition of "biopic" includes any film in which the main characters are versions of real people, then Amadeus counts. Both Salieri and Mozart were deliberately exaggerated by the author, not to make a retelling of history more engaging, but so that he could use them to tell a story about the destructive force of jealousy. The title is ironic; the main character is Salieri, but he is upstaged by the man whom he believed God had blessed more than him.

Some videos ideas for this format: comedies, foreign films, or blockbuster. Blockbuster would be a good 1 since u can tell the history of the event film and what makes it.
