3x3 thread

Being a consoomer doesn't make you knowledgable. How many books on animation have you read? How many interviews have you translated? How many films have you actively cross-referenced to other forms of media, i.e. paintings, literature, operas and plays? How many essays have you written?

>Being a consoomer doesn't make you knowledgable
Knowledge is the retained awareness of the facts of reality; it is contextual with all the information obtained from observation and changes according to new information about the identity of a subject. One becomes knowledgable as one experiences more of art, regardless of its source, and then integrates it with other information to better understand reality. While you are partially correct in arguing that only interacting with art and nothing else is not an expansion of knowledge, experiencing art remains a source of knowledge that expands your understanding of art and the metaphysics or reality of how artists see the world. Fiction is not the best place to expand one's knowledge; better to read non-fiction and experience life firsthand.

>How many books on animation have you read?
Two. The Illusion of Life: Disney Animation and The Animator's Survival Kit. However, I have no interest in drawing, so that question is irrelevant.

>How many interviews have you translated?
Zero; I don't care for an artist's view on their own work as I would rather that it speaks for itself.

>How many films have you actively cross-referenced to other forms of media, i.e. paintings, literature, operas and plays?
None. Mediums have their own strengths and weaknesses, and comparing them only shows their limitations rather than how art can be cross-referenced. I judge art on its own terms within the structure of its own medium. I only cross-reference their conveyed values, as all art exists to convey philosophical ideas about reality and sapient beings. Anything beyond that point is pseudo-intellectualism.

>How many essays have you written?
Quite a few.

fuck off pretentious

So you don't know anything and if tasked with analysing a select work would resort to utilizing a plethora of baseless assumptions. Gotcha.

I don't need to prove my worth, so meh.

Lol, You feel so confident but your Zig Forums 3x3 is very plebian, either you haven't seen many films / shows or you just have chronic shit tase. Brooklyn 99 ?!! Ratatouille ?!! seeiously? Watch better films, kid.

mmeant for

Brooklyn 99 is a fun show. Ratatouille is one of the best movies of all time, and you're stupid for thinking it's nothing more than a kids' film.
If anything, you probably only recognized Ratatouille and Brooklyn 99 because that's as far as your knowledge goes.

>jack of all trades, master of none.
I see you're also a master of watching anime

>Ratatouille is one of the best movies of all time.
Nah, man you just have normie tastes, and not even the good kind of normie taste. Good normie tatse would be something like Wes Anderson, Caroline, Treausre Island, Prince of egypt. You move past that to entry level patrician taste you got something like Triplets of Bellville, The Illusionist, Ralph Bakshi, or Richard williams...ect
>Brooklyn 99
Again, I am not knoweledgeable about tv shows but if you have to choose a normie sitcom, at least go with Community, Parks and Recreations or Malcom in The Middle.

Also your film list is severly lacking in pure kinography, make a seperate 3x3 for animated western films and add some real kino to your film 3x3. You've only scratched the surface dude, you have long ways to go.

Not that guy but you need to get the fuck out of Zig Forums

See, you fail categorically by looking at 3x3 in terms of practician taste rather than good art that represents your soul. Each element of my 3x3 represent not merely 'good taste,' but the best art has to offer, which also contains values that fall in line with my philosophy and worldview, something you lack. This is why you can only look at it in terms of kino X or normie taste rather than argue how Ratatouille isn't good because you can't argue anything and stand for nothing. For example, I can state that Ratatouille is the greatest animated film of all time and one of the best films ever made. You'd repeat that there are better practician tastes without understanding if what I said is true, merely disagree because you can't argue otherwise.

>your film list is severly lacking in pure kinography
Nope. You can again only recommend alternatives. For someone who thinks they understand anything, you lack any talent in criticism and analytical skills. You're just a poser that doesn't understand the purpose 3x3 or taste.

>For example, I can state that Ratatouille is the greatest animated film of all time and one of the best films ever made.
I'm not the guy you're arguing with, but out of curiosity: can you explain what makes Ratatouille so good, in your opinion?

I'll rate later

Your list doesn't give off the impression that you have a well defined taste but rather that you haven't explored the meduim of cinema deeply enough. It's ok to like popular things (I like Nolan) and it's okay not to like acclaimed works (I don't like Bergman), but you still need to watch as much cinema as you can so that you may find works that truly resonate with you and your tastes are surely to change over time. Go watch the films of Dreamworks, Sylvain Chomet, Richard williams and obscure Hungarian animated films than tell me that you consider Ratatouille to the best animated film all time, you'd be entitled to that opinion, but as it stands right now you just seem to be lacking in experience.

Of course. I detailed the values of the movie in this video.
youtube.com/watch?v=SfE_MUCpPKE

But to further a point that I don't address in the video, Ratatouille was made with the techniques of traditional stretch animation from 2D but transposed in 3D so seamless that no one notices without being offputting. The stretchiness emphasizes the cartoonish elements of traditional animation and the 3D emphasizes the idealization of food and life. Anime is well known for making food pop and look beautiful but it doesn't look photorealistic or real. Ratatouille makes food akin to a god. Structurally, there isn't an ounce of fat in the entire movie; there is nothing you could remove or add. Thematically, it conveys a very simple theme of embracing the new, and each of the characters represent an ideological position that has to be overcome through philosophical means rather than of action. Most people tend to only remember the speech at the end, but when you realize that Ratatouille is about asking what makes humans special, and then gives an answer in the positive, it makes you appreciate being alive and how you can live. It's perfectly directed, conveys the right value, is a standout in its own medium of animation (with noted animators saying that it's the best animated film since Pinnochio) and has yet to be surpassed by other works. The scene with the dead rats is meant to represent all the horrors humanity can create (war, etc) and that nothing can change that, but the film perfectly points out that by refusing this pessimistic and deterministic view of life, by enacting your own action, you can change the world and make it better. Its themes are life-affirming, emphasize positivity, and is overall a great piece of art. It's simple enough for children to understand it while also having the philosophical depth to say something about art and humanity without being simplistic about it.

It's great, I love it and it's a representation of my soul.

>ummm actually have you see these OTHER MOVIES like Dreamworks, Sylvain Chomet, Richard etc
Hahahaha, again, you can't say shit. You can only try to undermine my certainty.
