If a film looks and sound's good, I would see it no matter who made it.

hi mastic !thats not what i'm talking about my freind !..thats what other people want you think i'm about !



anyway whats the weather like in new york ..must be good full of tourist at this time of year !...wish i was there !



by the way what type of films do you like watching ?

Weather is rainy today, but it's getting better.....I like films that are true story's, I'm not much of a reader and a film can give me insite into somthing I'm interested in even if it is from the makers point of view.

depends on the film and the genre...there are no best filmmakers, and no, African people shouldn't be banned from making films.

Gilly : asked WHO are the best filmakers and I think Steven Speilberg is one for his many films--Spike lee for "Malcolm X" and Sidney Poitier for "Stir Crazy"-"Scay Movie" etc., etc... The list is too long to get into about the "Best" filmakers-Black , white, yellow, pink or whatever color they are. A big fat -NO- African American people shold not be banned from making films. I find that question quite absurd and is a racial question. JMO

[quote=Arlene101]

ARLENE101 ! its a subject within its own right called ' WORLD CINEMA' you do realise that there are specific film theory courses that looks at world cinema, various international filmmakers, their film industries around the world and that debates whether on their films are good or bad .

i intend to do those courses in the future ...because i like talking to people about films, filmmakers, film industries, film movements , and what countries on the whole produces the best and worst films !



now if you say to me i love classic hollywood cinema ... and mention names i can understand that !



if you actually i quite like french cinema ...italian cinema ...middle eastern cinema ...for what ever reason i can undersatand that also !

but cinema is not the same all around the world neither are the people that make them, or watch them, for many reasons ...which i'm hoping to talk to people about !

there are also lots of reasons why therre are more good filmmakers coming out of one country to do with certain types of films that others ...which i'm also looking forward to talking to people about ...when the real talking starts !

David Lynch

Hitchcock

and the pulp Fiction makerer

hi ulimaroa !



you mean quentin tarrentino ?

[quote=Arlene101]




hi again ARLENE !

i'll give you some examples of the type of things that i'm talking about if you're really interested ???? ...and by the way this is not a slur on canada or other countries in anyway ! but

1.why don't we in england see many canadian films in the british cinema ? why don't we see many canadian tv shows.. soap opera's...costune dramas ?



2.why are japanese people so crazy about cartoons ?..there's a new wave animation that they just can't seem to get enough !...why japan ? why is not s popular in other countries ? is it because the japanese are the best animaters ?

3. why are most of our imported tv films and soap opera's in the united kingdom not imported from alfghanstan and translated ? iceland and translated ? argentina brazil africa or russia and translated so that we can get to watch films and shows from over the world ?

4. how often do you get watch films and tv shows from those and even countries to be able to tell whether they're good filmmakers or not ?

5. even watching middle eastern ...indian...or chinese ..african or eastern european news shows a different style of life, veiwpoints, and standards in filmmaking to what we were brought up and used to watching before we can decide whats good filmmaking or not ??



6. the point is that if its not freely available to watch or even more importantly " FREELY AVAILABLE TO TALK ABOUT "

how are we suppose to find out about what countries produces the best and worst filmmakers around the world ??..because the majority of the stuff that reaches our cinemas tv screens comes from hollywood !!

Hiya Gilly... excellent post... You probably have already.. but when u get a chance, join an international film club..

I definitely think their is something in what you say... which is possibly politically motivated... the powers that be and the decision makers.. don't want us to see the viewpoint of these 'risk countries' because they don't want us to be able to see their point of view..

An I agree.. our line of thinking is based on what we are exposure..

And I agree.. styles and moods do differ and there is a basis for that.. and yet again I agree..studying these films and what they are about would give us a deeper insight into what makes these countries tick.. and also give us a wider appreciation (and knowledge of) Film as a media in general

you know what aries01 ...you just given me a good idea! (thats why i love talking to people like you... regardless of how much you know about films or not...because its all about what's coming from you as a person)!

there's lots to talk about there when i get back donig my shopping !!!!

hi dragonkeeperz !



i'm glad you feel that way because thats whats happening in africa right now !..

AFRICAN PEOPLE ARE BANNED FROM MAKING FILMS BY THEIR OWN GOVERNMENTS IN PLACES LIKE ZIMBAWAE!



how many films have you been able to see about whats really going on over there ( made by independant zimbawaian filmmakers expousing the government )!



how many films have you been able to about whats really going on in burma made by burmese filmmakers expousing the burmese government ?


i mert a burmese girl recently that was telling me some of the shocking things going on in burma that people are not even allowed to talk about much less make films about !



if you look at the regimes in some of these countries the corrupted governments and their families have got a finger in every pie ( especially in the film and media industry ) !



so even if you were lucky enough to make a great film to "show the world "
you would'nt get it distributed from over there !..and can be guaranteed

you'd have to leave the country, go into exile, and fear for your life whilst you're living abroad to be able to do something like that !



there's lots to talk about if you really want to talk about it !

No kidding!

I've had about enough of his pot stirring threads too. I've complained politely before.

Then everyone says, "If you don't like the thread, don't post in it."

I sure do agree with that from now on.

Gilly, I really do wonder why you try so hard to dissociate yourself from Africa, ... if you are not African, your ancestors were and come to think of it, .. it isn't really that bad hey ...

Apart from Nigeria, South Africa makes few but great movies, .. better than Nigerian movies in fact and the quality can match whatever it is you make in England. At least they have the Oscars to show for that. Africa has also produced huge names in Hollywood, ... for instance Charlize Theron, ... and come to think of it, .. she is white African and she isn't even trying to deny that ... hmm.

Zimbabweans are not restricted from making movies, .. its just that they'd rather concentrate on staying un-starved for now so get your facts straight.

You are blacker than many Africans I have come across including myself but you seem to live in a fairy-tale world of being white, .. and I wonder anyway 'cos what difference does it make ?

thanks for entertaining me this evening !

my pleasure Gilly, ... anytime.

talk to me about the difference between the ghanian , nigerian , zimbawaeian , and south african film industries and filmmakers !




who makes the best films ? and has the best filmmakers ? and why ?

drama documentary feature films and cartoons ?
