"Lisbon Story": An Old Dream from the '90s

"Lisbon Story" is a 1994 film by German director Wim Wenders. It's a movie about the city of Lisbon, but it doesn't focus on any specific story or dramatic conflict. Instead, it follows the protagonist Winter, a film sound engineer, as he travels to Lisbon to find his filmmaker friend Friedrick who is shooting a movie there. The film leads viewers to experience Lisbon of the 1990s through visual and auditory means. This aligns well with Wim Wenders' creative philosophy; he himself has said that

Sex and Gender: Evaluating The Rocky Horror Picture Show as a Minority

After watching "Rocky Horror Picture Show," many people are left perplexed. The film's bizarre scenes of murder and sexual encounters, set against a backdrop of strange song and dance, evoke feelings of horror and heightened hormonal activity, leaving viewers with lingering questions. As a newcomer to cult films, I attempt to dissect the movie's main storyline, interpret its symbolic language, and strive to understand its complexities. The film features two main storylines. The first follows Bra

Behind-the-scenes of ‘Aladdin’

Upon its release in 2019, "Aladdin" garnered widespread acclaim, leaving audiences curious about the collaboration between director Guy Ritchie of "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" fame and actor Will Smith from "Ali." But before we delve into that, let's first revisit the fiery anthem "Speechless" from "Aladdin": Heading the production design for "Aladdin" is the renowned Gemma Jackson, also known for her work as the production designer for the "Game of Thrones" series. Compared to previous

Dance and Class

Dance Dance is a central theme in this film, where American art—and the way we experience and understand art—is discussed and defined through the bodies of women. Many scholars argue that Aznavour's true achievement in this film is her scrutiny of the dominant male gaze and voyeurism present in classical cinema. Beyond making the gaze visible, "Dance, Girl, Dance" presents alternative approaches to these visual systems, with both male and female characters resisting voyeurism and fetishism. In t

In Fact, There Is No Destiny

One of the most beautiful opening scenes in cinematic history undoubtedly belongs to "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg." Captured in a fixed overhead shot, pedestrians carrying colorful umbrellas cross paths diagonally, creating a choreography akin to musical notes dancing on a score. However, as the opening sequence nears its end, an out-of-place moment unfolds， six black umbrellas form a line, traversing the center of the frame. It seems to foreshadow the six main characters in the plot, who will to

Im Cabaret, au Cabaret, to Cabaret —Analysis of the Musical Elements and Stage Performances in Cabaret

The relationship between Broadway and Hollywood has always been closely intertwined. In the 1970s and 1980s, numerous successful musicals made their way to the silver screen, yielding mixed results. One standout success among these adaptations was the 1972 film "Cabaret." While it lost the Best Picture Oscar to "The Godfather," "Cabaret" secured eight out of its ten Oscar nominations, including Best Director, Best Actress, and Best Supporting Actor. This film adaptation matched the achievements

"Whiplash": The Destructive Method of Creating a Star

Suppose God offers you two choices for reincarnation: One is a life of genius, surrounded by immense fame, status, wealth, and talent, but you die young. The other is a normal, average life with a job, family, and children, living to a ripe old age. How would you choose? Everyone's answer might differ. How much diligence is needed for a genius to fully shine? To what extent is self-imposed pressure "too much"? What exactly is the role of a teacher? I believe this film explores the grey, or rathe

"Whiplash": A Journey of Obsession and Artistic Perfection

"Whiplash" gives a visceral first impression of "without tempering, there's no perfection; without madness, there's no life." The first part embodies an obvious motivational theme, while the latter signifies the darker aspects of the film. A simple tale of a stern teacher leading a student to greatness wouldn't have been as intriguing. Fortunately, both the mentor and the student in this film are far from normal craftsmen; they are obsessively ambitious and artistic lunatics, ready to sacrifice

The Tug of War Between Biopics: True-Life vs. Artistic Portrayals

The fine line between fact and fiction is one that movies often dance upon, with the virtue of "truth" being just one facet of the cinematic equation. "Bohemian Rhapsody" explores the dynamic tension between being a "biopic about artists" and an "artistic biopic." The central question it raises is how to find a balance between showcasing the brilliance of the music and addressing the controversy surrounding the film. Without the film's climactic recreation of Queen's iconic "1985 Live Aid" perfo

Perdi o interesse pela vida, deitado na mesma ponte de pedra da minha residência de infância em transe, repetindo o dia sem fazer nada, as pessoas fazem coisas erradas, mas nunca admitem suas falhas, mas provam que estão certas de outra forma, Aqueles que estão fora da escola e desempregados são sombrios aos olhos dos universitários, sem futuro como ratos palhaços, e também ficam do lado oposto desses estudantes por causa do ódio.

Hola, hola. Soy Francesca. Desde que tengo memoria que adoró el cine pero no fue hasta la película de 2019 "The joker" donde decidí que amo las fotografías en el cine y opté desde ahí que quiero al cine como profesión y pasión. Mí meta es volverme directora de cine en Argentina pero por ahora solo me creo culta con las películas que veo y analizarlas y enamorarme de los colores de esta.

OS DISSIDENTES

Somos um coletivo de cinéfilos dedicados a expor nossas perspectivas sobre o cinema através da escrita e de outras mídias. Acreditamos que as avaliações dos filmes deveriam ser feitas por indivíduos e não por instituições acadêmicas. Priorizamos declarações poderosas em vez de pontos de vista imparciais e a responsabilidade de criticar em vez do direito de elogiar. Não reconhecemos a hierarquia entre fãs e criadores. Devemos definir e defender o nosso próprio cinema.
