At a dinner hosted by a powerful company in an 11th-century castle, Serbian Viro (Dolph Lundgren), a former war hero, takes hostages in an attempt to obtain legendary gold previously stolen by Mussolini's army. Taking on Italian tactical special forces and Interpol agents (Scott Adkins and Gianni Capaldi), he takes hostage a man he may not be able to handle. Viro's attempts to escape with the cursed gold and treasure are peppered with intense fights, thrilling knife fights and amazing action.

Director James Coyne said that Caitlin Dechelle will play one of the roles in the film.
From basha recent:
xxx: Did you see Hong Gil Dong as a child?
yyy: I haven’t seen it, but they told me)
xxx: North Korea did that! The film was incredibly cool in those days.
yyy: Probably. In those days, I fiercely rated the movie "Drunken Master" with Jackie Chan. I believe that it was this film that pushed me towards alcoholism...
What happened here??? Did I miss something interesting???)))
“This proverb suits you perfectly. Even comments are unnecessary here. It’s called digging a hole for someone else, but in the end you fell into it yourself)))”
- Some people scream the same thing out of impotence, but others communicate positively and still do their job.
For some of the above words, some inadequate people are sent to a mental hospital forever, and you pat them on the head, trying to guide them on the right path. Or is there no difference in who is saying something sensible here, and who is just outright crap? Do you allow housekeeping to be done this way too? I'm sure not. So what's up?
I was rude. And also unmotivated - banned forever!
What kind of chaos is this?:
"Shchadrin, are you telling me this??? Seriously??? Empty blah-blah-blah??? And what are you doing here??? All this time that you’ve been on this site you’ve just been constantly chattering, promoting yourself, and deceiving people . So, pass by, you dry windbag. How many times has your impudent horse-shaped muzzle promised to show your films. But apart from the shitty “Squishy”, absolutely NOTHING was shown. Only constant chatter about how good and wonderful Shchadrin is , but why is he the best, and the rest all suck. But we all know perfectly well what a professional luge you really are. Shut up already, you’ve already been disgraced for the rest of your life, I don’t know where else. Go kill yourself, woodpecker. And Then I see you’ve already gone completely crazy.”
Respect must be taught. Especially on this site. In addition, he is a very competent source, and not a club of talkers and envious people.
I won't tell you what to do. You know this better than me. I hope in the future you will act wisely and, most importantly, competently.
This proverb is perfect for you. Even comments are unnecessary here. It's called digging a hole for someone else, but in the end he fell in there himself)))
"evil mode enabled" Did you warn? Signonrili...
Well, for some this is actually a tragedy. And internal. It's a pity...
"A drunk will sleep it off. A fool never will." - Popular proverb. Think about it.
And you keep bickering, and this is a disaster...
Shchadrin, are you telling me this??? Seriously??? Empty blah blah blah??? What are you doing here??? All this time that you are on this site you are just constantly chattering, promoting yourself, and deceiving people. So, pass by, you shabby windbag. How many times has your impudent horse-shaped face promised to show your films? But apart from the shitty “Squishy”, absolutely NOTHING was shown. Just constant chatter about how Shchadrin is good, wonderful, and what the best, and the rest all suck. But we all know very well what kind of professional sledder you really are. Shut up already, you’ve already been disgraced for the rest of your life, I don’t know where else to go. Go kill yourself, woodpecker. Otherwise, I see you’ve already gone completely crazy.
Well, that means Jackie got punched in the teeth by Hwang more than once. And it was not for nothing that Wong Ying Sik was chosen as the YOUNG MASTER, and not him.
I heard about the tooth. But I have a question - Isn’t it in THE SNAKE IN THE SHADOW OF THE EAGLE? It clearly shows that Chan is missing a front tooth in the final battle.
This was said by Amardeep from the same KFK, who also visited SENI:
One of the funniest moments was when someone asked him during the Q&A session if he had hurt anyone. He replied, “I broke Jackie Chan's front teeth, during the making of “Drunken Master.” He couldn’t stop filming so he had to put peanuts in his gums and paint them white!”
Well, I’m talking about his personal answer to compiling the best. But the man is far from a fool.
What am I talking about... about another parry in Jackie's defense.
By the way, he broke Jackie Chan's tooth with a blow on the set of The Master, he stopped filming and put on a nut shell painted white so that it would not be visible on camera. Raj and Glen from KFK were also on SENI, but there is no promised interview yet. If something interesting appears, I will add it to the third part.
Already read it. THANK YOU so much for the interesting interview!
And yet, look: He considers Jackie the best screen fighter, and the best film is DRUNKEN MASTER. Oh how!
As for the fluff... well... - that's enough, it's not for me. Let someone hold their tongue. It would be nice if the person was an expert and knew something. For this alone one could respect and forgive a lot. And so... Well, he doesn’t like me, so the man gags, and at the same time thinks that someone will listen to him... what can you do here.
Some kind of nonsense, honestly.
Is not a fact. We are talking about a survey, and not about his personal TOP-5. :)
Shaw you got along like a parrot the same thing. It's not my fault that someone knows more about cinema than you. Resign yourself or kill yourself. Better yet, study cinema, or do it. Unless of course you need it. If not, better remain silent. All the same, you have never said anything worthwhile in the entire history of this site. Not a single professional comment. No practical advice for anyone or anything. Just empty Bla Bla Bla off topic.
May be enough? Otherwise I can switch to evil mode and start deleting your flood. %) It’s better to take a break, both of you, read, for example, the interview with Hwang... The second part is just around the corner.
It’s better to be a loser than a smart-ass charlatan deceiving people.
Let's get to the anniversary)
52nd comment =)
This reminds me of the names of what you should not write in the comments)
What about 123.avi? %)
I think they just didn't know what to call it)
By the way, the title of the video doesn't really fit the video. Or is that how it was intended?..
Regarding the darkness in the view under discussion (and in any view), then you need to have a good light and be able to place it correctly. The guys didn't succeed.
Regarding fantasies, there are a lot of things you can come up with. Let's say that in general the fighters are not revealed at all in the video. Their range of techniques and techniques is very limited. It would be possible to emphasize different styles of fighting, without going beyond the aesthetics of MMA. Just give one, small and nimble, a little more varied striking technique, and the second one more penetrating force and power and thus work on contrasts. In addition, their tops already contrast with each other.
It even needs to be filmed from above.
I thought so too, because it seemed that of the two of them, the small one seemed to want to win more.
+ (so...fantasies)
0.17 - after two punches to the defense, a direct knee strike to the unprotected body would look good.
1.04 - when the guy was lifted to avoid hitting the floor, it would have been possible to dissolve the triangle and jump off the opponent, while holding his head with his hands and then... the Thai clinch would have been suitable. =)
I’ll play as an expert =) (I’ll repeat a lot of what was said above, I’ll add something):
Darkness and dark clothes are, of course, a specific problem.
Slowdowns are absolutely not the point; they greatly spoil the overall picture, reducing the dynamics of the battle.
I didn’t like the hilling (both on the ground and near the cage) - it’s clear that it’s staged and doesn’t look realistic (it’s kind of a swing).
It would look much better if it looked more like the real thing (i.e. MMA or boxing fights), i.e. It’s not easy to hit the defense with all your might, but with your hands at the jaw, the opponent went into deep defense, a couple of blows at the upper level (shoot from above), then change the level and hit the unprotected body (shoot from the side and it is advisable that at least the body fighters got into the frame). The same applies to work on the ground - work on floors and add elbows.
0.39 - changing positions on the ground was poorly filmed, it would have been better to just film it from above.
It’s unclear why there are TWO finishing moves in one battle. At 1.05, the guy in the orange jacket was hit with the back of his head on the floor, what was the point of picking him up and throwing him against the wall?
And so...much better than what is shown in Sergei Badyuk’s program. You can feel the emotions of the rivals, the desire to kill each other, and I liked the dynamics (but the slow-mo ruined it). + you can hit the body and defense even harder. =)
PS I thought that the little one in the orange jacket would win. =)
By the way, I remembered these dudes in the video “Igor Kutuzov vs. Sergey Chernobay” who. He and Morin starred in one of the episodes of “The Guy in the Hat.”
...It was in those moments. So it didn't seem to me.
“I am so pleased with our posts: discussions of some film, video, etc. are interspersed with affectionate tenderness from Jaidev and Ice_3. Its perfect.”
- Well, sometimes there are notes of humor. Where would we be without this? There are some types who amuse people with their eccentric nature.
This is normal.
I am so pleased with our posts: discussions of some film, video, etc. are interspersed with affectionate tenderness from Jaidev and Ice_3. Its perfectum.
In those moments where they switch to MMA, they really spare a lot.
“...You’ve already been driven into a campaign, and as you know, a driven horse is finished off.”
- You’re a young guy just to talk about something. Especially here. And hmm... frozen. Hm...
About the above fight:
Personally, I liked the emotional role-playing aspect. The guys tried their best. And this is a +.
As for the choreography...At 34 sec. the push off the grid was promising.
I agree with the above. As for the footage from behind bars, that’s fine. But the problem is that there are a lot of them and they hurt the eyes.
The dynamics are sometimes lame. I also agree with this. Although some places are very good. Especially at the beginning. At some point it seemed to me that the guys were sparing each other, as if stopping the blow.
The question is also different. What is this fight for? As an indicative showreel, it falls short. As a business card for production and filming, it’s also weak. But if this is the frame of a fight for some film, then why not. It's a bit damp, but still...
Well, probably - To be continued.
Write on, empty-voiced woodpecker of clear orientation to everyone. You have already understood everything in this life. It's time to write you the fuck off. You've already been driven, but a driven horse is known to be finished off.
I also said about the slowdown by 0-34 that it was unnecessary ;-)
I also want to add that they don’t need to do this kind of color processing. It turns out even cheaper and more banal. Work with color in a more varied way.
I'm a self-proclaimed "expert" here, but I'll still have the nerve to answer))
Make the music quieter.
at 0:22 - the strike failed. The fighter hits into the void, doesn’t even touch the net, and the voice acting is as if he hit the enemy with a crunch.
at 0:34\35 - the rapid speed was unnecessary, the dynamics were lost, and even the angle was so clumsy, as a result, in slow motion we contemplated the stuntman’s ass approaching us.
Personally, I don't like shooting fights through a net. This may work in some arthouse, but here IMHO it doesn’t.
Why wear a black jacket that blends in? It’s already dark there, and the jacket is black.
at 1:03-1:05 - the throw had to be filmed from a different angle, and maybe from several points. Do not cut off heads, movements, etc. As a result, the blow turned out to be unemphasized, but could (and should) have been the climax. And it’s a little better to emphasize the music, not with a pause, but on the contrary with some kind of drawn-out sound, for example, and also run the camera around the fighters, make a panorama... or even film from the perspective of the character who is throwing or from the perspective of the one who is being thrown, show him eyes widening in surprise and bam.
In general, these comrades have other videos on their YouTube channel, however, of varying quality, it makes sense for everyone to check it out in order to get an idea. This is better than Badyuk’s in passing.
I would not slow down the throw with a push from the net (0:34), but even slightly speed up the moment of fall. Well, in general, I agree with Ravenside, it’s better than Badyuk’s in transmissions. Of the 3 programs, I only liked 1 moment - the jump into the trash can. :D
I would like to hear the opinion of experts on the battle of Russian stuntmen - Igor Kutuzov vs. Sergey Chernobay
Read more carefully, brainless plankton of incomprehensible orientation. Maybe you will understand something sensible in this life.
Hehe))) Dmitry "Khlyupik" Shchadrin completely screwed up)))
"...That is, I, as a viewer, should see what you can do in the future? That is, I want to get a finished product, but I get some videos that I have to put together and derive from this an opinion about what can you do?"
- The viewer receives my films in the end. I'm counting down from PRECIPITATION with STRANGER. Here I am essentially responsible for what will appear on the screen. And the question of preferences - fighting game, comedy, ..... horror or something else - that's another story.
Now we have reached the resolution of the issue. Exactly! Everything is as it should be.
There's no better way to say it.
But then I need to think about how to presentably approach the display and implementation of my long-term projects. In which it makes sense (or not) to invest. In fact, I would have put up PRECIPITATION and STRANGER right now, but I like them 50%. A total of two. There is something missing there to be overall convincing. And this is the “something” I’m working on now.
And of course, I definitely won’t do the sound myself, much less color correction. So I don’t have to worry about these things anymore.
Personally, what worries me now is the connection between all the scenes. Spectacular start and finish. That's essentially all for today.
And if now I shoot, say, a video with all the emerging possibilities, it won’t give me anything either. Because the result of my activities is the implementation of my film projects in the first place. And still no one canceled the STRANGER. And when they come out, it will strengthen even greater confidence in further cooperation with any company.
At least I won’t regret funding for high-quality post-production.
Why should I, as a viewer, put anything together?
That is, I, as a viewer, should see what you can do in the future? That is, I want to get a finished product, but I get some videos that I have to put together and deduce from this the opinion that you can?
I can do this. This is what Celpaso can do. This is the Administrator of this resource, Wave can do this, other experienced users of this site can. That's all. This will all end.
Can we expect this, for example, from Badyuk? What will he sit and fold? Judging by the show about stunt cinema.... hmmhm i'm not sure
Where did you get the idea that I meant to shoot a showreel for show. I’m talking about (at least) a video of high quality in all respects, so that it can appeal to any audience. Now you only have a video that shows your potential. That is, this is a demo of potential. That's all. And on this site we discuss your potential. And people who watch on YouTube also discuss your potential. These investors and producers can still be bought with potential, for which they can give you money. Well, or not give it.
Ravenside:
“... regarding action, everyone is guided by “Squishy”. This is wrong, because this is not an objective state of affairs. At least regarding the fact that you are not currently shooting on VHS.”
- That's right! Therefore, my main question was - For what?
In order to show how we can stage fights, film or edit, or generally work with someone in a movie, or for something else...
It's not that.
But the point is that in order to seriously interest someone in this or that issue, you don’t need to literally take a cool camera and shoot something for show. I do not get the point of it? Why?
Because you almost answered this question yourself:
The brain was in the SQUEEZE (final fight), which objectively shows our tactics. And not even with the pros, but with street kids. And those very decent sports videos that I now shoot in a new format prove that over all these years my experience in filming and editing has grown significantly. It is obvious. By adding these two factors, you can ultimately get a competent answer to your question. It's all simple.
One question remains:
How damp has Shadrin’s brain become in 10 years in terms of inventiveness in choreography and interestingness of fighting games?
So this issue can be resolved with the help of a 5-minute conversation on this topic.
I completely agree! =)
Exactly!!! ;)
And then you and Celpaso will finish discussing Squishy, whom we have already discussed a hundred times and there is no point in discussing him again. Can you really say “Squishy” is how I’m shooting at the moment? No you can not.
Well, if “WE” evaluate it well, I don’t think that you will have problems with evaluation somewhere else, at festivals or TV.
You and I have already discussed this topic more than once; we discussed it yesterday. You have decent sports videos, but when it comes to action, everyone focuses on “Squishy.” This is wrong because it is not an objective state of affairs. At least regarding the fact that you are not filming on VHS now)))
Ravenside:
“We need a clear, finished work by Shadrin that we can evaluate. Not “Squishy,” but a work that shows the current current state of affairs of his activities.”
- Question: Okay. Shadrin did. “WE” appreciated it, and then what?
With Jackie Chan, drinking vodka is no wonder, it’s just a matter of raising your butt and getting rid of one bad sin.
In short, Jaidev, Celpaso, I won’t write much. Now all discussions are total theorizing. Hypothetical things are being discussed. We need a clear, completed work by Shadrin that we can evaluate. Not "Squishy", but a work that shows the current current state of affairs in his activities. It doesn’t matter whether it’s small or large, but it’s representative, comparable to some samples in basic terms. In the meantime, all this “if only mushrooms grew in our mouths, we would go to the Cannes Film Festival and drink vodka with Jackie Chan...”
I think that in the future it is better for you to refrain from making value judgments regarding literature, because even reading the comments, apparently, causes you extremely serious difficulties. The explanation states that the novel is completed, and new chapters are published after editing.
"The inability to demonstrate your work is tantamount to the inability to work. There is no point in putting yourself out there if the result is not very different from what you call hackwork."
- A quick question for you:
Imagine this picture. You want to make a good movie and you have the financial means. And suddenly people appear on your horizon.
1 - guys with brains and interesting capabilities. BUT... the level of technical-moving-sound composition leaves much to be desired.
Option 2 - equipment - chic! But it was filmed by a team based on angles, the light is damn good, and the brain center of the choreography is only a C-minus on the level of average TV series. Who will you work with if you have the desire and money?
Only honestly.
If you are a literate person, then you will choose the first ones, because equipment tends to be acquired, but brains, sorry, cannot be bought at any market. Do you agree?
That's all the solution to the issue.
What was the question? WHY do we do certain things? To attract the viewer, the financial part, to realize oneself... Everything has its purpose. And SLUPIK then had his goal at that moment and coped with his task. What should it have been filmed for then? On Mark3 (which did not exist yet)? On film... (which we couldn’t get to. And there was no point in it then)
Let's think realistically and, most importantly, sensibly. People once conceived and did it, starting from something, but then it’s a different matter and a question of new tasks and goals. Am I wrong?
1. By the way, I agree 100% about the voice acting!!!
2. Many people see.
3. At that MK in the final I also got a good deal from those who came, so all options disappear.
As for the fighting game in the works, there is little of it in the teasers, and the local site is focused more on the fighting game than on snot, drool and all that.
Well, of course everything should be in harmony. In moderation.
About the dampness... off the top of my head: a picture from 30 years ago and an overlaid voiceover that really “sticks out” with its overlay. About the screen: remember you said that “if you treat your creation like shit, then I feel sorry for you.” It’s the same situation, the excuse that people watching the screen is not good.
I don’t even know what to say here. I will say that it is very difficult to see something of quality in your works (even on a subconscious level) (without your explanations and without the experience of watching a bunch of fighting games)
Either this is self-deception (on your part), or these eyewitnesses were simply embarrassed to tell the truth about this video (the third option is that these eyewitnesses took part in the filming of your films). In my opinion, a much more objective assessment of this teaser was given on this site. Voting - 92% rated the teaser as average/bad/very bad and comments on your interview and teaser - it seems only Ravenside and I were able to notice glimpses of something worthwhile in your work.
Failure to demonstrate your work is tantamount to failure to work. There is no point in putting yourself out there if the result is not much different from what you call hack work.
Bravo!!! Couldn't have said it better. In fact, I talk about this all the time. But Shchadrina doesn’t even understand a stake on his head, and that’s all. Or he just doesn't want to understand...
Celpaso:
“Wimpy - I don’t take into account the acting, script, choreography, soundtrack, interesting ideas, because the technical crudeness of the material and its obsolescence are so striking that all the advantages disappear and it is simply unrealistic for the average viewer to see them.”
- What technical dampness? The quality of the material from this video camera?
Come on. People watch the “screen” with worse quality than ever and nothing... happy.
"...and the average viewer will just see..."cheap amateur stuff, which people, for fun, decided to make non-fiction."
- the viewer is not stupid. And even subconsciously he understands what has been done and how. As for the possibilities, we “hooked” someone specifically for the final fight in “Squishy”. So is there any benefit from this?
“...the viewer will not press stop and watch the frames separately, he will watch the entire video and give his verdict (I wouldn’t be surprised, many people turned off your video in the middle without bothering to watch it)”
- At the MK in Moscow, dedicated to cinema, it was the teaser “The Stranger” with a certain dose from the silver screen that aroused interest from the eyewitnesses who came. So... alas...
I won’t discuss Morin and Novosibirsk, I’ve already said everything about them. There is no point, and I will stick to my opinion.
And then... I wrote above not in my own defense, but in order to show that today I did my 100%, and tomorrow I will do my 200%. And so it should be. As they say, we are learning. Yes. But only some are doing hack work, while others are giving it their all. Hence the subject of our dispute. That's all.
Jaidev, to be honest, many of your thoughts are absolutely correct, and the things you talk about are so simple that it becomes unclear why no one does this. BUT you have a problem, when you watch your work, you get the feeling that your absolutely correct thoughts pass by your films, as if you forget about these things.
Squishy - I don’t take into account the acting, script, choreography, soundtrack, interesting ideas, because the technical crudeness of the material and its obsolescence are so striking that all the advantages come to naught and it is simply unrealistic for the average viewer to see them.
The teaser for "The Stranger" is terrible and does not arouse any interest in the project (on the contrary, as one guy said, “it would be better if they made a 3X movie for the money, it would be more useful”) Moreover, it contradicts your words that fans you need to try to spy on shots and concepts from big cinema, your teaser is not at all similar to the teasers of modern films. Although no, your teaser somewhat resembles a teaser for The Expendables 2, but in the case of the Undovs, it was a good plan, because listing NAMES and a small amount of action is ENOUGH to attract the viewer, you don’t have such an effect, because The actors are absolutely unknown to the viewer. + the viewer will not press stop and watch the frames separately, he will watch the entire video in its entirety and give his verdict (I wouldn’t be surprised, many people turned off your video in the middle without bothering to watch it)
The Fallout teaser is a similar story to Squishy. The teaser doesn't tell us anything, doesn't intrigue us with anything, just a set of frames with a fighting game and a 3X ear. Absolutely not cinematic.
As I already said, your work (especially in the eyes of ordinary people) is not much different from those shown in Badyuk’s latest programs. We can see this and understand that it’s better filmed, it’s better staged, etc., but the average viewer will simply see..."cheap amateur stuff that people, for fun, filmed from making non-fiction."
You don’t have ANY completed work that you could show people without any excuses (“these shots were taken in the first year of filming”, “here I was lazy and didn’t rent a normal camera”, “back then I didn’t understand anything about color grading”, “there are problems with the sound, I had to re-voice”, etc.).
I already told you, you need to film either just a fight (with a short story before and after), or a short film of about 10 minutes, for more you have neither experience nor (most importantly) funds. Those. you need something COMPLETE that you can put out there and demonstrate your potential to everyone, without any “buts” and without any “explanations”. The viewer doesn’t care about the reasons why you couldn’t shoot better (the conditions were wrong, there was little time, the equipment failed, the actors were from the street), they care about the result, and the result in your case... is deplorable. I repeat: “The Guy in the Hat” by Morin and the trailer for “The Price of the Game” look much better than your work, despite the disadvantages that you (at one time) absolutely correctly noticed about them.
Exactly...exactly!
Like in that legendary film:
Can you assemble it in a day?
I can not.
How about two?
I can do it for two.
And in five days?
Well, if you try, you can do it in five.
How about ten?
Well, sir, you set the problems!!!
Just in time for the release of Shadrin's "The Stranger" ;)))
78 kb is nothing to talk about yet. Especially if in three years. At this rate, the book [if] will be finished in another six years.
Again the same thing. What a great guy Shchadrin is, what good “films” he makes, what great fights he stages, what great music he writes, etc., etc. But in fact, what??? Never mind!!! Shchadrin is a nobody in the world of cinema, and there is no way to call him. And show off, and show off!!! In conclusion, I want to say that I am already sick of Shchadrinshchina.
Freestyler:
"I never thought I would agree with your opinion."
- And why?
Now let's go back to Shadrin for a second. That is, to me. Why are some people mad at me?
I will lift the veil on some facts from life so that the picture becomes clearer. Still, this site is very competent in its purpose (I say this more than once) and is conducive to positive communication. One of those sites where I go very often, not only because this industry is identical to the activities in my life, but also in order to communicate culturally.
Start over:
I talked a lot about the fact that there is a lot of garbage in the world, but there are also worthy things. I have always focused on the classics as an example of modernity. And so - I declare publicly our team is releasing the film "THE STRANGER" and throw out a teaser as a primer. BUT what do we see from the outside? A vague plot and a minimum of fights, but a maximum of erotic sketches of dubious appearance. What is all this for? Guys, this is just a teaser for the seed, with footage taken during the first year of filming. And not corrected. (To be honest, my color correction is only now more or less starting to work out.) But let’s give it its due - each frame is viewed as a picture. Take a freeze frame and you will see everything in full view. It doesn't matter whether it's a close-up or a panorama of a battle scene.
Actors taken from the street, but trying to do their job. Again... in the scope of the entire film it looks decent.
Moving on:
Our team is reanimating "KLUPIK", filmed 10 years ago. The film is difficult to understand in places. Agree. Although the story is very simple: They did the job, entrusted it to their friend, he lost everything and disappeared himself, then he went to peace.
Everything in this film was done for the sake of the final battle. And why is he bad? No. And this is not just my opinion. We not only constantly came up with something for ourselves and the viewer, but also tried to film it all with dignity. At the same time, I didn’t yet have the Internet and the opportunity to see who was filming and how, and also to gain the necessary knowledge. And I met my friend Fedorov, a graduate of GITIS and a hereditary circus performer (who taught me a lot about filmmaking) just when we were filming the final fight. When the whole film was actually ready. That is, that knowledge, and then mastering the Internet, came much later, when I began to do new projects and in a completely different way. WATCH THE TRAILER FOR "WLISHER" and then "FALLOUT" and then "THE STRANGER". Despite the fact that the last two are just teasers, they are all different in content and theme. Certainly. It is natural when a person moves forward.
My big problem is that I spend a very long time with all the projects. And this is natural. I want to realize myself and the guys who are in business with me as much as possible. And looking at the fight in KHLUPIKA, I will say that we did everything we could then, and even more than. Yes...we spent 3 months. But I don’t have a feeling of any incompleteness. Even when I hear grins at me behind my back, they say, we can do such a fight in 2 days. Well...God help you. But it’s unlikely that anything meaningful will come out in 2 days. For an example of programs with Badyuk before my eyes. Fights between newly minted directors and Shadrinsky’s first creation 10 years ago.
My second problem is that I sometimes treat some “sculptors” unceremoniously. There is such a thing. If I offended anyone, I apologize!
I know how to admit mistakes, and everyone makes them. And that's okay. The main thing is for a person to move forward and be more creative every time.
But how can I forgive a certain director when my people come to him to shoot a film, and he says that there is no need to bother too much. It gets so busy that it doesn’t even work out the characters and shooting points. How so?
And when the guys start to build the picture, the dissatisfied director mutters - Well, let's measure everything like Shadrin.
What does measuring have to do with it? It’s clear that we are all different, but don’t you really want to make a cool picture in the frame yourself? It's like wishing bad things on your child! And by cutting someone out or re-voicing the actor’s disgusting voice, you humiliated not the actor who came from Shadrin, but yourself. Your child. Because your movie is your child. Is this possible?
There's a lot more to say, but what's the point? We are all different, but one thing should unite us - a competent interest in what we love.
Maybe somewhere not modestly, but when I was filming THE STRANGER, and none of the local composers could write what was needed (and the show-off was through the roof), I began to study Italian composers who were the best. Especially in the GIALLO genre - Ortolani, Donaggio, Frizzi, Risatti, of course the Goblin group and Claudio Simonetti, Orlandi, Pisano, Rustichelli... Moriccone alone listened to about 200 albums (from 1960-1980) And these are only Italians, not counting the West . Why? I like what I do and I'm ready to waste (in a good way) as much of my time as possible on it.
I said about the music, but you can talk a lot about the staging of fights, editing, camera work and much, much more. But probably not this time.
Returning to the point of agreeing with my opinion - Why not? Why not if it is true. It’s true not because I think so, but because it’s what you need to do in life. If you baked bread or served someone at the counter, do it well. I understand that not everything in life is always good... I understand. BUT nevertheless, let's try to be EDUCATED people. Fortunately, we have everything for this.
In conclusion, I want to repeat myself, if I offended anyone here - I apologize! This is not because I wanted to put someone lower, but because 2+2 should be 4. And that’s right.
I never thought I would agree with your opinion. Here you are actually completely right. I agree that, in essence, everyone has their own roots and influences, which are taken/torn off from someone else, and in the end they end up with something of their own. Even Nirvana looked at the Pixies when they wrote Nevermind, and with cinema too - the westerns of Sergie Leon and Sam Peckinpah gave a lot to the action movie
I think this is it http://samlib.ru/i/immoralist_i_m/ournewworld.shtml
As far as I understand, the authors prefer to remain anonymous, but claim that there are two brothers, one of whom calls himself the Immoralist, and the second the Moralist, which is, in fact, why I came across this book.
Who is author? And then I couldn’t google it right away.
Very strange indeed. How can you “remove” such CRAP after all this??? Apparently you just have to be completely mediocrity.
Upvoted many times! =)
Scott, why are you making me upset? Was it good (Grimsby, Criminal, Close range)? Do not do it this way...
- Right. But look at the most interesting thing - almost all interesting projects, if you dig into the history of the same movie, were a little “primitive” - Alien, Police Academy (which no one believed in at all), Terminator, Back to the Future, The Matrix. The creators of the original Indian curry western Revenge and the Law almost ended up in debt, and the film is still considered one of the most successful and best-selling not only in India, but also abroad.
And it gets worse because people forget the classics and don’t want to learn from them. Remember the saying - those who do not know the past have no future.
+ Fear appeared in the eyes and blood of people and confidence in their affairs disappeared. Where does confidence come from? Of course, from personal experience and of course comparative analysis. It's simple.
Why do people go to a psychologist? Because they can't solve their problem? Not true. Everything is possible. You just need to look at all the problems and issues from all sides. Not from the perspective of the victim, but from the perspective of an observer.
People also have a very bad quality - pride. Let me make garbage, but I will do it and I’m right. Why? It’s good if so, but justify it, as they said before... But no. They are silent. And why? Again it all comes down to professionalism. Where does it come from? From experience on what has been done and, of course, knowledge.
I don’t understand people at all, honestly! There is a great thing - the Internet. You can find anything there. Sit, watch, read, learn and compare. But no. Do not want. This is strange. Very strange.
Again, in order not to be unfounded, I will give an example from my personal life:
While communicating with one colleague in the film workshop, I asked, what do you like? To which he replied - I love Westerns. THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN and ONCE AT NOON are awesome! That's all? And when I named and gave links to famous westerns by Leone, Corbucci and other spaghetti films, he was surprised and threw up his hands - Wow!
When I told him that John Woo learned from Sam Peckinpah's films in editing and showed (in my opinion, a brilliantly creative editing) a fragment of the final sequence in THE WILD BAND! And the person doesn’t know this! How so???
People are excited about DJANGO UNCHAINED, but I see the original films from which Quentin blatantly tore it off and the copy is clearly worse than the original. But this is Quentin and he can be given credit for his love of cinema. I see it clearly! And this is admirable.
When some thriller comes out (I don’t remember the name) and the creators say that we are paying tribute to Dario Argento with this film... I want to spit in the face! But how? No shooting, no editing, no music, no psychology of the picture. How can you say something if in reality there is nothing.
Some friends of mine started making a horror film. I ask them - what did they watch before? Answer: something with Wil Smith, Resident Evil... That's all? Do you know who Romero, Fulci, Bava are? Nope.
This is where you stand or fall.
And there will be no future for cinema. It will NOT be - as I said at one of my master classes in Moscow on cinema.
Until we begin to respect the classics and, most importantly, be able to use them.
In recent years, I have formed the opinion that there are no ideological people left in large entertainment markets. Everyone just takes the same recipe, and then makes the same thing as everyone else, but with minor changes. There are no thoughts, no ideas, everything is superficial. This applies to music, cinema, and literature. I don’t know if there are fans of science fiction or literature in general here, but I think it’s no secret to anyone that most major film premieres are film adaptations of books. And the most important thing is that there are such books in Russia too, they are just extremely difficult to find, and no one knows about them. For example, the novel “Our New World” is now being published on samizdat, in which from the first lines it is clear that statements about three years of work are not empty words, but at the same time I very much doubt that it will ever hit the market, because no one cares necessary, no one really wants to think. And every year it gets worse and worse.
The plot of this film can only be compared with the plot of Sarik Andreasyan’s planned creation about domestic superheroes.. There the character, like the Russian Hulk, in anger turns into a bear with a machine gun at the ready...
The only thing I can wish for this film... is not to happen! Shut the hell down at the pre-production stage.
Fucking cranberry... Mussolini's gold, Serbian terrorist hostages and my favorite special forces Hallelujah!!!.
I thought maybe you were sick? But no, Eastern Europe, party gold, hostages and special forces presence.
Well, what kind of amazing action can you expect from Lundgren? With all due respect, but no.
