High Planes Drifter Analysis
This is just a recent film I have seen and it is one of my favorite Clint Eastwood movies. I believe that this movie was one of his most prominent movies which shaped who he is as a performer as well as a director. The stylistic cinematography, the calm and cool flow, and the limited dialog expressing an overpowering confidence. This is what this movie is a perfect example of, and his work is what has made him so great. What makes a movie cool is not a complicated plot which runs in an ongoing fast pace with unbelievable effects, stunts, and camera angles... its a movie that shows confidence. Check out this film,it's a lesson in directing and acting, because of it's simplicity but extreme character.
From my understanding of what celluloid film is in coralation with these modern abstract film makers is that America's film industry keeps trying to perfect their image to what is a mix between what looks best in terms of attracting the human eye and what looks most realistic, and with celluloid film these modern abstract film makers out there have been doing this by filming simple and meanless things, focusing more on the actual image than any sort of meaning behind it. What they are doing is only art, like a painting perhaps, but what they have done is undiscribable. It's like no other motion images ever seen before. From the way these cameras are set to film, to they way they take an object and prepare it to be filmed, these artists have taken celluloid film's potential maybe to the end of the line. But that's where the next question comes in, how fare can digital film go?
