Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk (2016) by Ang Lee who also directed evermore’s inspo Sense & Sensibility (1996) as well as Joe’s fav film Brokeback Mountain w/ cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto who Taylor loved so much she hired him for The Man, cardigan, willow, & Fortnight
neutral · AI labelView post →Do you guys ever think about how Joe Alwyn's first film was "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" in which he plays a soldier who makes an appearance at a Cowboy's Thanksgiving football game?

neutral · AI labelView post →Of course, Ang Lee did it with Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk, but what if someone made a drama in 3D with a good script instead?
negative · AI labelView post →BILLY LYNN'S LONG HALFTIME WALK (2016) Ang Lee's follow-up to his Oscar win for LIFE OF PI Soldier Billy Lynn back in America after an Iraq tour Commercialization of war is a major theme Stuck between satire and soulful Steve Martin as Jerry Jones? Lee interested in technical experimentation
neutral · AI labelView post →Ironically, I could see high-frame rate being put to interesting use by smaller, indie dramatists too, kind've like Ang Lee tried with Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk, but I suspect the costs and infrastructural demands make that all but impossible.
neutral · AI labelView post →i believe @maddiewhittle.bsky.social made a joke about BILLY LYNN'S LONG HALFTIME WALK
neutral · AI labelView post →Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk is a fantastic movie that I can now say is even better on a rewatch. Not a lot of movies were made about the second Iraq war; this one's both a great movie and a profoundly important one. Ang Lee doesn't miss.

positive · AI labelView post →For a hilarious take on the NFL, TV, advertising, politics, the military war machine, impresarios, pop entertainers, and all things smug, overinflated, and self-congratulatory, read "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk."

neutral · AI labelView post →76.) BILLY LYNN'S LONG HALFTIME WALK (2016) - the movie is not good but Ang Lee knows how to shoot the fuck out of a movie so even his bad movies make great trailers
negative · AI labelView post →WARFARE is well acted, technically well-executed and sometimes pretty goddamn harrowing. I have zero knowledge of combat situations, if you told me this was a fair representation, I'd believe it. But it was a little like BILLY LYNN'S LONG HALFTIME WALK in that often, I wasn't quite sure of the point

Just gorgeous. 2) Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk by Ben Fountain. Probably the best first novel I've ever read. I'm jealous of anyone who hasn't read these...

neutral · AI labelView post →Thinking about popular depictions of the War on Terror (movies, popular nonfiction, novels) and almost all are about Afghanistan. Exceptions: Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk; American Sniper; Hurt Locker and the latter two avoided the war's politics so completely they could have been set anywhere.
neutral · AI labelView post →Jax's near abstraction in ep 7 had me thinking if blu-rays support 60fps. Apparently not original blu-rays, but there are two 4K UHD releases in 60fps. Gemini Man and Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk (I forgot about both of those) are 24fps on blu-ray but 60fps on UHD. Neato
neutral · AI labelView post →Virtually all "3D" movies are shot 2D and rotoscoped to be 3D. Avatar, Hobbit, Life of Pi, Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk, Hugo and a couple of others are the only ones shot with a 3D pair of cameras.
neutral · AI labelView post →I love 3D and hate HFR. That said, I did get to see Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk in 120fps 3D at the NYFF, and it was like watching a play. I don't know if I like the feel of it, but it's way more distinctive a choice than 48.

Gene Roddenberry wrote sci-fi from 'Band of Brothers'. You wrote sci-fi from 'Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk'.
neutral · AI labelView post →Oof. That would do it, aye. I could see Gravity screwing with folks. I haven't seen Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk at the theater, only at home, but the frame rate for that was INSANE and got a lot of people feeling sick and nauseous and all that. Just because one *can* doesn't mean one *should.*

neutral · AI labelView post →Not a fan of any spectator sports, but i highly recommend Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk, by Ben Fountain, for an inside look but for so much more. (Ignore the movie, which sucked.)
positive · AI labelView post →I watched Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk—and, uh, can you tell me where this lead actor has been? What happened to Joe Alwyn in the years since this movie that he hasn’t had a leading role since? I’ve seen 90% of his filmography now, and it makes no sense this film was the pinnacle of his acting!

neutral · AI labelView post →Well to back up your point, I don't think president-era art really exists. Production lead time, and then the long tail of influences and ripoffs and sequels and remakes, means everything gets smeared out. Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk, the most Dubya-era movie ever, came out November 2016!
neutral · AI labelView post →I've been listening to the @blankcheck.bsky.social episode for Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk which I watched last month with guest J.D. Amato, this may be one of the greatest eps ever with his 15 minute explanation on how cameras and light works.
neutral · AI labelView post →'Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk' pretty much captured it, then?
neutral · AI labelView post →Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk has great depths and invokes more feeling than I ever expected from the dust jacket. It's a story of one man, one country and all the world. It reminded me that when something rough occurs life often throws you a square of Tony's to make up for it #Booksky
positive · AI labelView post →I think we do appreciate some kind of surface texture. For example, I bought the UHD of Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk out of curiosity, as it's presented at 60 frames per second, and it just looks *weird* - an ultra-sharp picture (no grain here!) allied to a hyperreal feeling of movement.
neutral · AI labelView post →Game, music, celebration, romance, emotion, family, friends and the war! After giving the career best, the director Ang Lee returned with this which is quite a long gap for him between the films. He has fallen back to the average, like usual whenever he gives a masterpiece. Most directors do that. This film was adapted from the book of the same name. It was not a full fledged war film. It has soldiers, but one day event theme where they are on the short break to homeland to participate in the…
