Maybe we can talk about how a shit load of men fantasize about dying a peaceful and necessary death instead of wanting to live or having to live in reality?

Cuz fuck, that's so bleak.

Is that not normal?

You don't want to detonate the explosives while you're still dangling from the bridge pylon because the enemy army is advancing and there's not enough time to get away safely before they cross?

[–] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think I'd actually like to stand on the bridge and gently play a tune on my flute to distract them long enough for the explosives to go off as they cautiously approach the center where I wait.

uhhh, charisma -100.

I know. I play the flute.

Listen, periods are not as glamorous as you’ve been led to believe.

Picture it, though: You're a bad man and you know that one good deed won't change that, even at the cost of your life - but maybe it's enough to regain your soul. The wound doesn't hurt any more and you know that's a sign the end is coming but for the first time in years you feel at peace. Individual snowflakes are settling on your skin like chilly kisses as your eyelids get heavy.

Cause Allie this the one time men are allowed to get in touch with their feelings with no judgement. It's cinema to go out this way. Way better than dying behind the Arby's dumpster with your pants down. No one wants to die like that.

When you clock out in the snow, have a smoke or swig from a flask or have in your hand a well loved photo of a loved one. Also have no ID, make it a mystery. Go out like a true boss.

Kinda like the Somerton Man although he died having a cigarette on the beach, leaving behind a coded message and a possible illegitimate child.

The cinematographer in me is wondering how I would go about staging the scene without putting footprints in the snow.

[–] Test_Tickles@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Composite 2 shots maybe? You would have to be sure to map routes in and out of the scene and then make sure the action doesn't cross those routes.

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago

Yeah. That's about the only way that I can figure it could be done optically. Or else just fix it in post.

From a visual standpoint I know it lacks realism if we have a man bleeding out against the bench with no footprints or disturbance to show how he got there. But visually it looks better. I'd also costume the man in very gray colours, with almost the only noticeable color being the pool of red slowly spreading. Frank Miller-ish.

For the justification for no footprints, you could have it in the script that the one dying fell into place. Fighting atop a crane, in a helicopter, or whatever. Seems appropriate for the kind of film that would end with a nice shot like that anyway. For the practical side, simply catapult the actor into position.

The lighting is wrong. Need either footlights like you would have on a flight of stairs or omnipresent lighting from an unknown source in the sky. 3/10 would not die here.

[–] buttnugget@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Bleed (out here) or (bleed out) here?

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

The seduction of the Noir.

[–] copymyjalopy@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 days ago

Ooooh that's a good spot to die on.

The White Snow is a symbol of purity a Void of sin blood is the sacrifice for mankind a symbol as seen in the hit TV show Jesus Christ, this is a desire to sacrifice yourself for the sins of the world.

Ah if it isnt my high school English teacher

I want to bleed out not on the bench, but just below it, my back propped up by the wood.

[–] nostrauxendar@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago

Oh fuck yeah that's prime real estate

[–] Camille_Jamal@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I think I might get it

I don't know if I do can someone explain it?

[–] AgentOrangesicle@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Watch Blade Runner 2049 and make believe that you're a real boy.
