In Reply to: I differ completely with your impressions; on a 1 - 10 scale I'd give it what was left after the film's title, but YMMV. posted by Audiophilander on February 3, 2007 at 10:26:22:

That's what watching the LoTR crap will do to your remaining brain cells.
tin is right about the movie.

While Antonioni is similar to Barnett Newman or Mark Rothko, in that - tinear 16:22:22 02/03/07 (2)
all of them reduce art to its "simple" essence, late Fellini is extraordinarily complex, using similar techniques to tell his story in novel ways, more like... Kandinsky. I'd say Stravinsky is the closest musical equivalent to those two. Diane Arbus may be the photographic member of this club.
I listened to "The Rite of Spring" the day after I saw "8 1/2" and they seemed so artistically similar, so truly revolutionary.
(BTW, did you find the link to Lilya 4-ever?)

  There is always that combination of a very serious and a smile in Fellini's films, just like in Miro's paintings. You know I don't like Rothko...
  Yes, saw the link, thank you!
  - Miro, Klee, Chagall... all had a good sense of humor. Rothko is like - tinear 08:47:48 02/04/07 (0)
    Tarkovsky. He takes a different mindset.
    Stare at a painting of his and colors blend, disappear, reappear, and distort. It's kind of like a meditation. Art distilled to its core, color and form. No easy appeal to pre-formed emotions, i.e. a depiction of Madonna. No attempt to seduce the viewer with humor or cleverness, as the three aforementioned.
    Unlike a lot of artists' works, Rothko's must really be seen in the original format. I never appreciated Warhol until I saw a collection of his works. The brilliant colors and perfection of the applications worked magic.
Never linked that image, dude; if folks want fresh material, they should try a different brand of mustard. - Audiophilander 13:34:25 02/03/07 (5)
But in your case I'd recommend slathering the mustard on Elba toast. ;^)

BTW, my impression of 8 1/2, while sarcastic, isn't lame and is indeed a genuine reflection of my thoughts on this film. My brain cells are just fine scabbard polisher, how about your's?

There is no right or wrong, just informed opinions; everyone's mileage varies.

      Sorry, that WWII vintage zinger may be a little obtuse for you, but rest assured, it fits better than OJ's glove here. So, unless you can come up with a more righteous riposte, and I have my doubts, that's game, set and match. ;^)

        With what's at steak my condiments should be A-1 saucy; that's the rub, you baster. Oil vey, I guess I'll have to give you points for being a pesto since you caught me off guard and meant no mayonaisse by it.
        Salsa la Vista, baby.
