2.48 - THE RETURN OF THE KING (2003) & Openendedness
We’ve done it! It’s the end of the franchise season! Peter Jackson’s fantasy behemoth comes to a close — or does it? We talk about that feeling of ‘what now?’, the way in which the narrative shifts perspectives, and the visual cinematic genius of Jackson.
This Week’s Media
MR ROBOT S2 (2017): Sam Esmail, Rami Malek, Charly Chalkin
HAPPY ENDINGS (2011—13): David Caspe, Eliza Coupe, Elisha Cuthbert
Recommendations
TOY SOLDIERS (1991): Daniel Petrie Jr., Sean Astin, Wil Wheaton
AUSTRALIA (2008): Baz Luhrnmann, Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman
STAR TREK (2009): J.J. Abrams, John Cho, Ben Cross
CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER (2011): Joe Johnston, Chris Evans, Tommy Lee Jones
Footnotes
Once again, our footnotes start with links to the Wikipedia and ‘Tolkien Gateway’ entries for the film. This is the video of Andy Serkis’s transformation for the new APES film (which really doesn’t look worth watching, except possibly for him): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeZ8BQBl8NA. There’s a sort of introduction to the ‘filmic language’ that Rob briefly mentions, here: http://learnaboutfilm.com/film-language. And finally, confused by the phrase ‘Dutch tilt’ or ‘Dutch angle’? Here’s a basic guide: http://www.videoeditingsage.com/camera-angles-dutch-tilt.html. (Every day’s a school day…)
