neutral · AI labelView post →Mainly thinking of that scene in The Rite where the main character gets a call from his dad who's confused and in hell. A lot of interesting stuff in that movie but it stayed committed to the theology in a way that makes the ending extremely anticlimactic

neutral · AI labelView post →The Rite of Spring (1995) Michael J Murphy (writer/ director) Appears to be Murphy going into Wicker Man territory. I haven't seen it, so I don't know what his take will be. I bet it has a lot of slow paced drama. I HOPE it has a lot of slow paced drama. 📽 #Filmsky #MichaelJMurphy #HorrorMovies

neutral · AI labelView post →The Rite Anthony Hopkins is excellent and the driving force behind the film's positives, while the film also delivers with the atmospheric unease. However it has some pacing issues and does seem to drag at times. The slow burn approach ended up been quite hit or miss. Middling film imo.
neutral · AI labelView post →I watched The Rite (2011) w the amazing Anthony Hopkins in it. Oh man, this was so close to be very good. I don’t know what was off. Pacing, editing, music, all of the above. I know for sure the performances were brilliant. The idea for the movie, recruiting a new exorcist, is good imho. 1/2
neutral · AI labelView post →Was just reading a Williams fan blog comment about how his borrowings from the Firebird in the movie Hook are direct to the point of being flagrant. Another comment that echoes of the Rite of Spring can be felt in the desert scenes.
neutral · AI labelView post →I mean, there's Stravinsky's "The Rite of Spring," & Keaton & Chaplin as far as VFX on film are concerned... But I'm gonna go with "Ave. Q" It had everything, fucking puppets, 4th wall breaks, & a gender-bending Gary Coleman. Musical perfection.
neutral · AI labelView post →Good morning guys. I was watching Fantasia the other day. Hot take: My favorite section of the entire movie is the Rite of Spring. I'll upload clips of it soon. Prepare for my non-stop praise.
neutral · AI labelView post →Walt Disney and composer Igor Stravinsky, c. 1940. Disney used parts of Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring in the film Fantasia, changing the order of movements and making cuts. Stravinsky hated the result. The NYT cropped Disney from this photo when it was used, hence the crop marks and grey paint.

positive · AI labelView post →And it really comes out of left field after the rest of the movie! Lol. (Though I remember the Rite of Spring sequence being a little much for me.)
neutral · AI labelView post →I saw The Rite in a drive-in theatre. The whole movie seemed to be filmed in the dark, but the sun hasn't set, so I couldn't see SHIT.
negative · AI labelView post →People lamenting the fact S9 got more focus than Tural seem to miss the fact it ended up that way because Tural had a huge flaw at the start: it didn't have any flaws. As much as I enjoyed the Rite of Succession arc, it really did feel like a Disney Channel movie than Final Fantasy.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched THE RITE. Not a great film or nearly as enjoyable as THE POPE'S EXORCIST, but it works. The presence of Anthony Hopkins helps it stick the landing and he happily never acts like the material's beneath him.

neutral · AI labelView post →I find La Valse more violent and disturbing than the Rite of Spring because it starts in a place of "civilisation"; it's a horror film rather than a documentary.

I heard the song Kaisarion in the video and gave it a listen, loved it. Then Square Hammer, then Little Sunshine, Spillways, and Cirice. Next thing I knew I had a new favorite band :D
neutral · AI labelView post →I will always recommend Polovtsian Dances (if you're an anime nerd I guarantee you've heard this one somewhere) and The Rite of Spring (sounds just like an action movie, and it's so good Star Wars straight up nicked it) to any fellow nerds who want to try more classical music 😄

negative · AI labelView post →Movie 4 of the Halloween scary/horror movie daily (most days) (re)watching. Recap so far: 1 The Exorcist 2 The Witch 3 The Rite Mostly because it’s on AMC I’m rewatching The Shining. I know it differs vastly from the book. Shelly Duvall’s performance is singular, exceptional.

It was Nijinsky's choreography that attendees of the 1913 Paris premiere revolted against, not Stravinsky's score, as the revisionist history goes. No one, including the dancers, could hear the music.

neutral · AI labelView post →Luckily it’s followed by the Rite of Spring sequence, which in addition to having the most radical music in the film (given that it was 1940) it also has an overtly anti-creationist message which must have ruffled some feathers.

She lived in Calcutta for years and would be accosted the moment she walked out the door. She couldn’t afford to help everyone, so she resolved to help the first one she saw. It wasn’t much, like one rupee.
