Illuminati (2nd Degree)

I'm familair with Wenders from Until The End of the World
and the angel films. They are superb and I consider them
classics. Wenders tarted to weaken with things like an End To Violence and the Hotel one. Plus the Buena Vista Social Club is one of the
worst made films I've ever seen.

For Latin Music and Cuban in particular look for Jam Miami and
Calle 54. With my new dvd playere, I'd like to find Calle 54 again:
all the greats on there: Chu Chu Valdez, Micahel Camilo and Chico O'Farrel, plus Tito of course. But I'm off the subject.

German Expressionism features settings that are more like paintings
with sharp angles and unusual lighting effects. So in Dark City
the street scapes and everyting else is rarely shot straight on, but rather at an angle: diagonal or below or above.


I only really recall where soft focus is used in Bladerunner
during the scene where Decker looks at his photographs and sees
the woman in the reflection. There is no noticeable soft focus
in Dark City.


Last night I was watching the extras from Minority Report on
the builds and effects for that Spielberg film. In MR they used
a film bleaching technique to give everything that bluish cast.
DVD's have so much more detail of the films. And even though all those extras are prob'ly designed to sell to cable tv, they are
still interesting. The Sky Captain one must be a hoot. I saw that
on the old vhs player, unfortunately.
