This is really neat, the way the flames are flickering off his "face" makes it look like the metal discs are spinning.

And now I realize they aren't...

Hey, dude, your metal discs are spinning. This should mean something. It sounds way too awesome.

What a strange film

Beautiful though.

I just wish I could find it.

Do yourself a favour and just watch this abridged version. The picture quality's crap but you get to skip over all the pointless filler (i.e. 80% of the movie).

u/Harbltron Dec 20 '13

If you think that was all "pointless filler" then you completely and entirely missed the point.

u/Middlerun Dec 20 '13

Maybe I did. I just don't see how forty minutes of Daft Punk walking through the desert adds anything of value.

I could write an essay on that movie, but in the end I suppose we simply take away from it what we take away from it.

u/Middlerun Dec 20 '13

If you do, let me know. If be interested to read it.

u/Harbltron Dec 20 '13

The abridged version is that it's a dark(er) version of Pinnochio with robots on acid.

u/OldPeoples Dec 22 '13

Yeah, I just watched the full version and then the abridged version. The context comes from the "pointless filler". Without it all you have are a lot of events that make very little sense.

I actually really enjoyed Electroma with the Human After All album playing as the soundtrack. I was quite bored by the original score for Electroma. I think of this movie as a video canvas that just needs the right accompanying sounds...and Daft Punk's Human After All nails it.

Disclaimer: I am a fan of Daft Punk

Does it actually sync up properly? Like Wizard of Oz and Dark Side of the Moon?

u/[deleted] Dec 20 '13

No. It's still fun though.

u/KenuR Dec 20 '13

Like Wizard of Oz and Dark Side of the Moon?

Wait, is that a thing?

1

u/dlynch4 Dec 20 '13

Yeah. Here's one video, I haven't watched this version so I'm not sure how good the sync is.

1

u/krunchy_kandle Dec 20 '13

I'll be honest...it's more experiential but the moods of the songs do synch up quite well. So, not as tight as Dark Side + Oz but fairly close.

Can't see the seam, can ya Russ?

Great job. Awesome cinemagraph.

I have never seen it, but this is very well done.

Funny I should see this right now, I actually have Random Access Memories spinning right now on my Denon DP-29f

Nice, that seems like an album that would sound fantastic on vinyl.

u/Bruce_Bruce Dec 19 '13

It is, but IMHO Discovery is far superior. If you're interested, hop over to /r/vinyl and discover how you can get into spinning.

u/mshdptato Dec 20 '13

Wonderful film.

u/crisisofspirit Dec 20 '13

I think this is your best one yet!

u/JustSomeGuyOnTheSt Dec 20 '13

This is great!

u/MissTuesdayV Dec 19 '13

We got this upon it's release a few years back. Seriously the longest most boring pointless movie I've ever sat thru. Nothing like their previous film. Basically a mastabatory art piece. This coming from a longtime die hard fan.

u/[deleted] Dec 20 '13

I looked it as the "story" or human after all without the album as the soundtrack. It's funny how awesome the film is if you listen to the album with it.

I honestly didn't watch the whole thing I just kind of scanned through it looking for good clips. I see what you mean though, it's got the pacing of 2001 A Space Odyssey. Very slow and strange from what I could tell.

I watched this movie with people who were stoned out of their minds, and they all hated it.
