Man with a Movie Camera
Getting swept up in it all over again, now on the big screen, scored by Montopolis and performed live! OVERWHELMING
Man with a Movie Camera
Quite a showcase! The energy here, the dual vision of audience and participant, the visual record of an utterly different era, going for the shot! Such a full range of filming long before the camera became a ubiquitous feature of daily life. Put me in mind of being a teen when my dad gave me his old camera and I started photo walks in earnest just trying to see all that I could see. And there's so much here linking up with what I still see every day on modern street photographer's postings and publishings, their determined roaming eye seeking out transcendence in the mundane, highlighting one detail that'd otherwise be overlooked, or just capturing a fleeting expression before it disappears.

*When that stop motion scene appears Союз нерушимый республик свободных Сплотила навеки Великая Русь.
Man with a Movie Camera
Não tem história tradicional nem uma palavra sequer, mas ainda assim prende pela criatividade. É basicamente um cara filmando a cidade e transformando o cotidiano em ritmo puro através da montagem. O mais legal é quando o filme mostra pessoas assistindo ao próprio filme, criando várias camadas e perspectivas ao mesmo tempo.

Film School Drop Outs Weekly Challenge (https://letterboxd.com/goghaliens/list/film-school-drop-outs-weekly-challenge-2019) Week 16: Genre - Early Documentary Dziga Vertov immortalized the citizens of four cities—namely: Moscow, Kharkov, Kiev and Odessa—and by extension, some of their most important/precious moments as well as the most ordinary - everything from grief to happiness, pain to joy; divorce proceedings to wedding; people working, & chilllaxing; to leaving, and returning; from someone being seen for the last time on earth to another person's entrance (literally...and I really didn't need to see that...like at all). He encapsulated a spectrum of human experience with great shots, and, at times, rapid cuts of juxtaposition for greater impact. He went one step further by documenting himself taking them, thereby, making it a part-manual on how to take them yourself - camera position and angle etc...a filmmaker that cared. [Spoiler alert I guess haha: that makes it 'man with two movie cameras'? Or 'man with a movie camera accompanied by another person (or crew) with movie camera(s)'? Obviously none of these have the same ring to them as the original but...) Few of my favourite shots in its non-narrative narrative are: - the camera following the stares of the faces on the poster - eye sequences (I'm a sucker for those in general) - the camera assembling, & its perceived dancing - vertov on top of a building, and inside a pint of beer Which brings me to the next component, the effects (& editing): some still evoke awe and are incredible, but some have sadly aged. There are a few strange ones that were supposed to look cool but they don't deliver/translate. Michael Nyman's score gives this—an ode to life and human condition in 1920s soviet union era—a moody feel; putting you right in the middle of the action or lack thereof. I probably won't watch this again – in its entirety anyways – but I do feel inspired to capture more of my surroundings now. Btw I need more info on the train guy whose shoe got stuck. Was he saved or? what happened to him?

Adorable (in the least demeaning way possible)
Man with a Movie Camera
Se eu tivesse uma máquina do tempo, voltaria ao início do século passado só pra fazer uma versão desse filme aqui no Rio.
