Well watch the whole thing. I especially point out the "married life" montage, the "scrapbook" scene, and the "Ellie badge." Probably more emotionally effective than "What is a Baby?" when all is said and done.Marky_198 wrote: I haven't seen the whole film yet.
But I have seen many scenes and clips on youtube etc.
On there it all looked very slapsticky to me, a big chain of silly jokes.
Wow, my thoughts exactly. Up is proof that audiences can find an emotional story entertaining, and can be funny without the fart jokes.Margos wrote:Marky, have you seen "Up" by any chance?Marky_198 wrote: Yes, it's beautiful.
You will never see scenes like that in the newer films.
Every scene needs to have a quick joke to ruin the moment.
The modern audiences don't see the beauty and the tons of emotions in a scene like that. They need fart jokes or else they think it's boring.
Marky, do yourself a favor and watch Up from start to finish before making a judgment call on the film (clips on youtube don't do the film justice). Seriously. Go watch it and tell me you don't feel touched before we're introduced to Carl in the present day . . .Marky_198 wrote:I haven't seen the whole film yet.

But who would bother reading any of those posts? It would be like a solitary confinement chamber in which Marky could rant at no one. Although.... hmmm.... the idea has merit! It's what he would like best, anyway! Any chance the admins could wrap it up and give it to him for Christmas?yukitora wrote:I swear there should just be a marky subforum.

And makes sure the colors are correctCampbellzSoup wrote:Up probably has more heart in it than half of the classic Disney movies without the slapstick of some of them either.
Marky doesn't watch films, rather screenshots.
See, that's the drawback of watching a newly-produced film. There's no old screencaps to compare any new ones to (and we all know the old ones are always better).pap64 wrote:And makes sure the colors are correctCampbellzSoup wrote:Marky doesn't watch films, rather screenshots.

I have to say, the idea of this scene is nice and I can understand that it actually might be somewhat touching for some people.Escapay wrote: Watch this:

Marky, as I was saying, you need to watch this film from the beginning. The clip Scaps posted might not make much sense all by itself, as it doesn't include any set-up. We first meet the characters as children, and you can see a definite difference in age between her being a little girl and later being a young woman in the clip you just saw.Marky_198 wrote:I have to say, the idea of this scene is nice and I can understand that it actually might be somewhat touching for some people.
But I still don't get the image.
This 11 year old looking girl is supposed to be his wife???!!!
And all of a sudden she changes from an 11 year old looking girl to a 70 year old looking woman?
I thought it was his daughter at first. Weird.
You probably don't feel any character from her as you missed the earlier portion with the dialog. This montage is basically Carl's memories of their life together. Perhaps those "important things and details" aren't missing if you watch the whole film; Carl's wife is an exceptional character, even with what little precious screen time she is given.Marky_198 wrote:They still look like plastic toys to me.
But I get the idea of what they are trying to say, it's just that too many important things and details are missing.
A 30 year old lady does not look the same as a 11 year old.
Also for some reason, she doesn't seem to have any character at all.
It feels empty.
This to me is just... you have no trouble feeling for some ink on a plastic cel or something drawn and scanned into a computer, but you wonder how much emotion you can muster to something that looks, dare I say, artificial?Marky_198 wrote:I wonder if I can feel for plastic characters that look like toys.
