This is an idea I stole from Dan Olson of Folding Ideas - in effect, this is a remake of a video I did five years ago that hasn’t been online for a while, like a second edition, an updated version of a textbook. There was a lot there that I felt was worthy of revisiting, and more still that I wanted to add. Some of the bones are still there, but this version is much more streamlined and heavier researched, and the irrelevant excess has been cut.Bill Pullman: patreon.com/lindsayellisRandy Quaid: twitter.com/thelindsayellisCitations:Breznican, Anthony. “Spielberg’s family values.” USA TODAY.

Why is it So Hard to Remember What Happens in Transformers? | The Whole Plate: Episode 3 Lindsay Ellis 2017-05-25 | Auteur theory flows into film language, because Michael Bay loves him some film language (often without much thought to what the film language is actually *saying*). Today, we're going to talk about visual language, especially contrast and affinity, when it works and when it doesn't, and why the visual language of Transformers makes it so difficult for what actually *happens* in the movies to stick with you after you leave the theater.Also I finally said something nice about Christopher Nolan!Twitter: @thelindsayellisSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/lindsayellis
