This is the best choreographed fight in the history of cinema

inb4 equishittium

nah, that would be the swordfight between inigo montoya and westley in the princess bride

Nah, it's the one where they're catapulting themselves over the city wall with palm trees.

Troy is only a good film if you're illiterate about the setting
Though admittedly Eric Bana was hot as Hector

why does it need to switch cameras on every strike?

for me it's

that's a dogfight not a choreographed fight

do you feel in charge?

Peter O'Toole had the only good scene in that movie

well you see those are actors, not actual fighters of myth and legend. It would be cool of they were though!

Oh year he was great as Priam

but still the film is dumbed down for normie audiences and it's only carried by the set pieces and star power of the cast

Rapiers are for fags.

Oh year he was great as Priam

He was utterly drunk the entire time.

nah it'd probably be a jackie chan fight or one of his buddies

It was revealed to me in dream.

Nah, it's the one where they're catapulting themselves over the city wall with palm trees.

I can't find my webm of this. Somebody post it.

some anon may not have seen The Raid and The Raid 2 and get to watch kino tonight

how envious I am

shot of character attacking

shot of character reacting to the attack

Nice JRPG.

THIS is what I think of when I think of the best choreographed fight in a film

I also think it's the best depiction of a woman fighting
Hammergirl is
1. hot
2. cool
3. her thing of being deaf and also having a fucked up eye she hides behind the glasses, which is not elaborated upon, is kino
4. She fights with a dude so that makes it more believable
5. A chick coming at you with two hammers is genuinely pretty fucking scary, ill be honest.

so fucking good

I also like how the brother hits his enrage timer when she eats it

a meticulously choreographed fight scene?

yes get me a parkisons patient to hold the camera

So what are your thoughts, Anon Babble? How much shaky cam do you need in a fight sequence? Are you purist 0%, you want still camera unless it's a pan or movement that follows action? Do you like the over-the-top shaky cam in modern action movies and some anime? Do you think it needs to be a healthy balance, like 10%? Maybe 30%?

What is the PERFECT example of shaky cam usage in a fight scene?

I wish I wasn't filtered by shakespearian language but I recognize the actual writing and storytelling as pure kinography but I feel like I gotta have the rosetta stone next to me to translate every line

Dog fights are so fucking kino because they are the best parts of a fight scene and a chase scene. Simply too good.

shaky cam is awful. 0%

I will admit one of the early shots was egregious with this, but otherwise The Raid's use of the camera is very active and fun, I'm not going to get mad that not every shot was perfection

Troy is only a good film if you're illiterate about the setting

Thanks for that opinion, reddit. I'll be sure to file it under "dumb gay shit that people say when they want to appear superior"
[duplicate file exists!]
Oops, nevermind.

3. her thing of being deaf and also having a fucked up eye she hides behind the glasses, which is not elaborated upon, is kino

sounds like woke DEI bullshit. PASS!

Yeah and the amount of gooks was insane. Blackrock definitely must have been involved, and a few investors who's last names ended in Steinberg if you catch my drift.

Are there any that are actually realistic? Longsword, dagger in offhand, stab, duel lasts 30 seconds at most, something like that

Not the best example and if you want to find criticisms with it you definitely can (Twink chalamet in knights armor is comical) but The King at least tries
youtube.com/watch?v=5IUFyz8AloE

Also, helmets kept on the entire time. And not a single autist (but me) gives the movie credit for it
That's why you NEVER cater to helmet fags, there's no point. Just let your actors show their faces and be aesthetic. And put their character names on a little name tag on the top of their helmet, too. Err, on their armor I guess.

I actually think The King is kino
If you have problems with it I probably won't disagree with them, but the movie has a vibe it goes for and it nails it, and I really like it
It's biggest sin, which I admit is nigh unforgiveable, is that it's depiction of Agincourt doesn't properly emphasize the archers and their stakes. So you watch the battle and you're like, why the fuck don't the cavalry just move 20 feet to the left and kill the archers. And in real life there was an answer to that and it was kino.
Still, I like the movie a lot

Thanks, do you have any more like this? And is this movie worth a watch? >Netflix release

no black knights

Wtf

What was the point of inventing a comically evil French prince commander for the battle?

Shaky cam and frequent camera cuts are pure shit. Batman Begins and Bourne Identity aged poorly. I want as few cuts as possible, and the camera should be a good distance away. Jacky Chan vs Benny The Jet is a good example of a fight scene. It doesn't have to have any advanced choreography though as long as it's cinematic kind of like Rocky or Karate Kid. Too many cuts and shaky cam is a cheap way to make it look "real", it's not cinematic nor "choreographic". Brad Pitt probably didn't need to memorize any long sequences because of the frequent cuts. I feel the same way about dialogues and monologues. Whenever there's a long monologue/dialogue with no cuts I always get impressed

The King was pretty good, the very end scene where Katherine womansplains how horrible war is and how stupid all men are is pretty much the only netflix shit I remember. Had kino moments

i clicked this thread expecting that to be this
but it don't and i can't spoiler myself on non-indian movies

i was an extra in a couple of episode in game of thrones, and the most interesting day maybe was where we were given brief descriptions of roles we could be doing, fetching water, carrying equipment, chatting round a fire, cooking and one guy was even pissing into the lake as his part - and we just did that for a day as a sort of 'living' camp, so we'd appear in the background of a conversation and look natural 50 yards behind.
the start of this video reminded me of that. it's only a few seconds in the end

An actual fight would be over in seconds, the faster fighter would strike first and end it quickly, not dance ballet for an hour

I want as few cuts as possible

This. I can't watch many modern films because of the constant cuts, it's really jarring, I can't NOT notice them.
I think it's one of the main reasons I love older and B/W films. Whole scenes with one or two camera angles with slow panning giving the viewer time to take things in, actors remembering lines for multiple-minute scenes etc

Sounds cool just larping a medieval camp with a bunch of people for a day, do you remember what episode it was for?

fetching water

I read that as felching water

series 7, ep 4 and 5, maybe some of 3 too.
i was there for several weeks doing it, but that day was told to us as a kind of semi-improvisational, fly on the wall day.
a lot of stuff was filmed that you don't really see in the episodes.
the background stuff is just when jaime lannister is talking to bronn and dickon tarly rides up - you see in the background things going on all over as the war train as camped for a rest - it's just before the battle starts.

kaleesi was indeed present some days near the end

its funny because the choreography is trash but its true because its the actors fault and the choreograoher actually did a great job with the materials available

kek

Brad Pitt was literally laughable in this role.
