In Reply to: Re: Well, listening to Werner Herzog speak was a treat (to say nothing of seeing Aguirre and Fitz on the big screen). posted by Victor Khomenko on March 25, 2007 at 08:16:53:
is contradictory: I think he's referring to the overimportance of the adventure quality of making the film, you know, how the film about making "Apolcalypse Now" has become almost as known as the film itself.
Regarding digital: I'd agree with Herzog.
See that movie and you sense the realness of it. Now, watch "Private Ryan" or some other modern film--"Gladiator"--and it's clear that you're seeing a digital image. No matter how cleverly they try to disguise it, it looks phony as hell. I don't know it it's going to get much better, either, since it's been already quite some time without much improvement.
Follow Ups:
While I absolutely hate what is being done digitally today, I also believe this is a temporary phenomenon. Sound, color, TV, etc all had been proclaimed at one point or another to kill the spirit of the movies, and yet all eventually tamed to enhance our experience. Today we have the generation of directors not capable of using the digital properly, but that will change. Some of us old farts will lament the departure of celluloid, but just like with color, you can have it done perfectly and to your advantage, or you can have Turner colorization. Beaut Travail would not be a great film without its colors.Of course I am not talking about that abomination commonly called "special effects". Those who love them deserve what they get, we are talking about the fact that most films will be done in digital format in some not too distant future.
