There's a rumor that Oliver Stone's style in JFK was stolen from Orson Welles. Allegedly, he attended a screening of a rough cut of Welles' THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WIND in 1988 that Oja Kodar arranged to get financing to finish it. He declined to co-finance but then made JFK and then NATURAL BORN KILLERS. His last movie before JFK was BORN ON THE 4TH OF JULY which was otherwise fairly traditional in terms of aesthetic. He eventually abandoned this aesthetic after ANY GIVEN SUNDAY.
I find that a little mind-blowing. So Orson Welles brought himself back to the encyclopedic style, even with an incomplete film. Legends truly never die
@@Moviewise "The Other Side of the Wind" was finished and released in 2019, and it's a great film. It's one of the first gay-themed film of the 70s, and it has an elliptical color style that updates Welles' classic B&W style.
@@Moviewise Speaking of Wells I think F for Fake should have a place in this pantheon because it not only fit the criteria you use here but is as directly and indirectly influential on video essays, including yours, as Citizen Kane was on cinema. Also I enjoyed this video and your storytelling a lot, will check out more of the channel
@@detectivejimmymcnulty1676 Part of its greatness is that it is willing to talk about gay stuff without any of the Maltese Falcon classic tough-guy homophobia. The film itself is about a director who is tormented by his closeted inclinations, and dies in an ambiguous way.
I would suggest "Bram Stoker's Dracula" as a prime example of pull-out-the-stops direction -- every scene is packed with camera tricks and optical effects.
Surprised not many people are mentioning Magnolia, especially the introduction to all the characters at the beginning and the experimental storytelling.
I thought that Griffith had taken followed the lead of Eisenstein in Potemkin." But I looked it up; "Potemkin" was 1925. I learned something today. Thank you.
Oh, yes, Eisenstein followed Griffith’s lead, taking it amazingly far, and Griffith followed Edwin S. Porter’s pioneering editing style, though Porter never made anything as ambitious as Griffith.
Midnight Cowboy - i think it influenced Scorcese greatly. Psychedelic moments, b/w flashbacks, hand held camera, score and integrated songs, montage, sound design with radio snippets. I think 'The Wolf of Wall Street' is superbly made, scene by scene, and flows beautifully but with one huge flaw that stops it being top tier Scorcese. It's about financial gangsters but not a victim is shown, unlike 'Goodfellas'. Had the director cut in, every now and then, small montages, of people being evicted, suicides, drinking, etc, the full impact of the sleazebags would have given it a heft and tragic element. Alas, Scorcese has always been a amoral director (which is why his religious films are so barren), so the film comes across as a piece of comic Social Darwinism.
Scorsese loves so much Stroheim! His films were not restricted by the narrative: he wanted to know the world around. The macrosystem and the lesser facts by supporting characters.
If you´re talking about encyclopiedic film you have to watch "Ilha das Flores" and "The Man Who Copied", a short and a feature film mad by the great brazillian director Jorge Furtado.
And maybe read Calvino's conference about Multiplicity in Six Memos for the Next Millenium. Jorge Fraga, an ex-president of Cuba's state films school, used to say that Furtado's Ilha followed and, at the same time, broke all the rules of post modern narratives. I'd also suggest any movie by Peter Greenaway, although I prefer Furtado's more defined irony.
One movie that reminds me of that insane Natural Born Killers style is 2009 film Gamer, starring Gerard Butler. That movie is so visually insane and exhausting, it gives you a migraine.
The Netflix series Clark very much fits this category! I really recommend it it’s about Swedens most infamous criminal who kind of became a “pop gangster” of sorts
I believe “Winning Time: Story of LA Lakers” also fits this genre of movies/series. If you haven’t watched it then I think you should! Anywho, great video, keep ‘em coming! Hope you get more subs!!!
I was thinking of mentioning how Winning Time is the television equivalent of an encyclopedic film a week or so ago. It has everything: grainy VHS style cinematography, use of old footage, freeze frames, fourth wall humor, a soundtrack that covers many different genres, and a ton of great actors like John C. Reilly, Jason Clarke, Adrian Brody, Jason Segel, and Sally Field.
Perhaps Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. But instead of film, it’s every type of animation and some comic books. Especially noticeable with the motley crew of Spider-heroes, each animated in a style related to their character. They also varied frame rates between and within scenes to achieve different animation looks.
There's a difference between "Stylistic Smorgasbord" and true "Genre Encyclopaediatry" (preferable to "Encyclopaedophilia) - One example is "Possession" (1981), directed by Andrzej Zulawski. It was the last truly groundbreaking film. In a little over two hours it travels across practically every cinematographic genre: from love story, to love triangle conflict, mystery, to detective story, to science fiction, to horror, to international intrigue and spy action shoot-out film....a tour-de-force of genre jumping and mind-f****ng. (by the way, love your channel!)
The Encyclopedic Film sounds like Richard Condon's (The Manchurian Candidate & Prizzi's Honor) "the fiction of information," writing style but for movies. Great vids, btw.
Maybe not scriptwise, but Everything Everywhere All At Once feels close to encyclopedic directing. Except maybe because some of the styles they cram into it feel more like they are there to tick the box of "we used it" than for a creative purpose, but it's gotta be close to meeting your criteria.
Oh yes! The film does play around with style a lot in its direction. I talk about it being encyclopedic in a review I made about it and in another video judging the Best Director Oscar nominees.
Thanks for putting JFK in a new light for me. Saw both it and "Natural Born Killers" when they came out. I can't help but feel that NBK was a little too Try Hard--or that it was too heavy handed with being anti-media media, both of which glamorized these acts--JFK's cuts and styles really carried the storytelling, testified by me that I recall them, poignantly, even though I thought the movie was something of a mess.
Thank you! So interesting. Translation from Russian: 1. "The direct consequence of the Battle of Borodino...", 2. "I love life, love this grass, soil and air..." Leo Tolstoy could be an encyclopedic screenwriter)
It’s interesting that this video makes zero mention of Spike Lee, who is like Encyclopedia Brown, with his films. He won’t just mention a historical figure, he’ll go away from the main narrative to do a little breakout story, showing you that person, showing the contribution they made to the world, and why it’s important not just to the character who is relating it, but why that person and event should also be important to you. Spike Lee is quintessential Encyclopedic Film Narrative.
this was interesting and well done. Maybe Murnau's Faust, possibly the most visually mind blowing film I've ever seen, deserves a mention somewhere. (But maybe not here)
@@thoroughlywithfoil Yes! And let's not forget Sunrise, one of my 13 all time favorite films and also visually extraordinary. What a talented man Murnau was!!
I'd love to see an Encyclopedic Movie that was entirely fictional, I mean like a Cyberpunk movie where all the asides and techniques were used to deliver world-building and Lore.
Wolf of Wall St is maybe the best mainstream movie of the 2010s... There weren't many, it was a bad decade overall, but I think it's top 3 for the decade with 3 Billboards and maybe Interstellar (which I hated for years, but find I like it so much now).
It wasn’t out when you made this video but, Everything, Everywhere, All At Once completely blew me away. I felt like I was witnessing the next evolution in filmmaking.
It isn’t actually, no documentary-like narration or variation in visual style besides the color/black and white division. But the question makes a lot of sense. Check my latest video! I cover both Oppenheimer and some encyclopedic films.
To answer your last question, Wes Anderson, maybe? Although his movies are like really tightly published fictional artbooks, they follow similar structures script-wise.
Johnny Got His Gun, Vanishing Point, Living in Oblivion, The Fall, The Science of Sleep, Tideland, The Tree of Life, Pan's Labyrinth, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus - that type of thing?
I don't want to brag but this is a normal commercial template for movies ie commercial movies in Indian cinema. We call it 'Masala Movies'. It's a genre on its own. Packages everything in a single film to engage audiences..although dynamics may vary depending on our culture
Another masterpiece! I recently watched the director’s cut of Alexander (2004) also by Oliver Stone “Alexander Revisited”. It is certainly better than the theatrical version, which I didn’t like, but I don’t like Alexander Revisited much either. I wonder if this is because I don’t appreciate his take on Enyclopedic genre, or if there is something he’s doing “wrong” that just has less appeal in Alexander Revisited. I’d love it if you made a video about the topic! Thanks again for your wonderful work.
You know, I'm not even sure which version of Alexander I watched. Either the 175 or the 167 minute version. I still need to give a chance to the final cut someday, but it's not a very enticing movie haha By the time Stone made Alexander he wasn't being as encyclopedic as he was before. There's the narration by Ptolemy, but if I remember correctly it's mostly to advance the narrative and not interested in explaining systems and cultures in depth. Shame, it might have given the film more punch and made it better than a typical overserious period piece. And if Stone had played around with visual styles as he did in JFK the movie would have at least been an epic with a more unique look. The Gaugamela sequence was terrific though, and unusually easy to follow for a modern battle scene! Too bad Vangelis never did anything big after Alexander. I intend very much to make a video (or two) on epics, but I've been delaying it for over a year because I need to rewatch so many (long!) movies. I'll add Alexander Revisited to the list. And thank you for the comment, Luke!
jfk better than goodfellas? I would say Scorseses use of different tricks and techniques is much more purposeful. Stone's limitation is preciesly that he is so literal. fast cuts are exciting. grainy footage is old timey. Compare to the much more tonally ambiguous effects in. Scorsese's film.
Hey, turn down the volume of that "ding" bell. It's about 20 dbs louder than anything else in your video and slices the brain open if you're not ready for it. Thanks.
Boring like a superhero story or a time-travel movie. If the hero can do anything, if the characters can go back and "fix" history, if anything is possible, there is only a boring story.
Except most of it is changed and altered to please audiences so the studios and producers can get more and more money each movie… other than being self ego driven biopics, many of these movies are highly inaccurate. They’ll remove people who chose to legal refrain themselves from being added, they change events to make them more appealing, they leave out and add as they go delivering a less than desirable story for a daft audience of consumers. No thank you.
umm...Everything Everywhere All at Once...? maybe it hadn't come out yet. F is for Fake is one of the greatest examples. Vertov's Man with a Movie Camera is sadly missing from your otherwise excellent video. Great to attract attention to this and useful to draw corollaries to novels such as Anatomy of Melancholy, Saragossa Manuscript, Ulysses Ada, and most recently Life: A User's Manual. Your work is excellent. Regards.
Maybe I don't like encyclopedia films? Are there other examples of these movies? Nothing he mentions was that good to me. The movies he talks I would call pretentious movies.
Your take on female directors and their choices could be interesting-so long as you’re not sexist about the topic. Gender add a layer to the discussion of filmmaking.
Dear Mr. Moviewise, everything you say about the Wolf of Wall Street concerning how it was made is valid, but I´m surprised you like the film overall. I just tried to rewatch it on Netflix and couldn´t get through the first 2 minutes: I couldn´t endure hours of a formulaic story of a cocky shit who goes from rags to riches on a rollercoaster of excess and ends up in the gutter. It´s just Good Fellas set in Wall Street!
I don't like to give credit to racist films such as The birth of a nation, I believe moral and human decency are above art I think you should try another example if there is😔
