Second Chances and the Concept of Exclusionary Filmmaking
BanjokerFilms: I might go see Star Wars again tonight
Numbnss4Sound: ha. Me too
BanjokerFilms: With Jamie?
Numbnss4Sound: ha, no
Numbnss4Sound: I doubt she'll see it
BanjokerFilms: She didn't seem too pleased with it
Numbnss4Sound: lol. Yeah, i notice the comments
BanjokerFilms: This seems to be the type of film where you have to see it a second time to appreciate it
Numbnss4Sound: Yeah, i have to give it another shot before i make my judgements
BanjokerFilms: It's really true. I sooo disliked so much of it the first time.
Numbnss4Sound: the first time around i was disappointed
BanjokerFilms: But the second time I loved it
Numbnss4Sound: hmm
Numbnss4Sound: I have a feeling ill still feel like so much was left out
BanjokerFilms: I wish there was more included
BanjokerFilms: I've always wished there was more included
BanjokerFilms: Star Wars is sooo engrossing a story that you want to feel completely immersed in the reality.
BanjokerFilms: Unfortunately, with a two and a half hour film, you're very restricted by what you can put in.
BanjokerFilms: Think of how much was left out of LotR
Numbnss4Sound: very true
BanjokerFilms: How much they could have included, how much they did include, and how much you wanted them to include.
BanjokerFilms: I mean, who didn't want to see the Tom Bombadil stuff?
BanjokerFilms: It wasn't too greatly related to the rest of the story, but it was added detail about how the Ring relates to the world
BanjokerFilms: But then you realize they could have included other things, like the scouring of the shire
BanjokerFilms: etc
BanjokerFilms: It's what makes film so difficult - while you have the freedom to show so much onscreen, you're also limited by time constraints and money. It takes a lot of patience for an audience member to sit through any more than 2 and a half hours of material - no matter how good it may be.
Numbnss4Sound: Very true. And i suppose ill have to keep that in mind when i see it the second time around.
BanjokerFilms: Do
Numbnss4Sound: itll be difficult to really appreciate but im sure ill enjoy it a bit more.
BanjokerFilms: Just remember what Yoda said, "If so powerful are you, why in such a hurry to leave are you?"
Numbnss4Sound: lol. DAve, dave, dave
Numbnss4Sound: only you
Numbnss4Sound: lol
Numbnss4Sound: ha. Me too
