399. Directorpiece Theatre: How Roland Emmerich Does Exposition
🕑 Added 2021-07-05 13:01:04 +0000 UTC
Adam exposes how The Day After Tomorrow dramatizes science, how it attempts to prepare the viewer for moments of emotional significance, and how Roland Emmerich reels in world-spanning plots into simple parables. As always, we have our theories as to why Emmerich uses specific lenses, staging, and POV to evoke a thesis and an emotional response from you. Does it work? Will we ever figure out what’s happening with the podcast’s introduction guy? Is he dead? Is he a ghost? What’s going on there?

that's something to think about. The trouble is most documentaries that people are aware of are also prestige films that wouldn't fit the parameters of the show. But still worth considering. We WILL be talking about some documentaries in the bonus episode of ISYMIYSMY this month if that appeals to you.

This was great, and it was really interesting to hear you talk about documentary and deconstruct some of the techniques used in an inconvenient truth. In fact, I'd be quite interested in a full DT about a documentary feature at some point.
