39-47. Comment Yukong déplaça les montagnes (1976) (691 minutes my copy, if I'm counting up the runtimes of the episodes properly...)
still not the longest film I've seen for this challenge wow. It was very good at getting in deep with regular citizenry but there is this sort of, unnerving suspicion that they're all behaving far too well around the cameras and saying exactly what needed to be said. also there were a couple dudes in the early episodes who wouldn't shut up about their consciousness oh my god their consciousness. it finally hit me that they're basically woke before the term and can't shut up about how woke they are and how everyone is terrible cuz they ain't nobody as woke as them. That unnerving sensation made it all pretty suspect politically but ethnographically it's really rad, to be there smack in the middle of the Cultural Revolution, mere months before it gets blown up. Best episodes: Impressions of a City, Craftsmen, A Woman A Family, The Fishing Village, About Petroleum. Worst episodes: A Performance at Peking Opera, Story of the Ball and then way, wayyyy down at the bottom, Professor Tsien bleggh. 38 points, 14 films.

22. At Berkeley (2013, 244 mins) 9/10 | 2 points
The local cinematheque had a weekend of Wiseman films, so of course I had to go. Happy to see almost a full house for Ex Libris (many librarians came to the screening too, which is awesome!) as well as good talks about it after. Both films fantastic, of course. I also saw La danse (2009), but that was only 2,5 hours. Unfortunately ballet is not something that connects with me very well so I didn't get as much out of that one.
At Berkeley and Ex Libris are universally applauded, I did however appreciate Sicinski's take on it, I think he has a good point. Can't help but love the film though in its observations of the institution which leaves much food for tought. https://letterboxd.com/msicism/film/at-berkeley/ Total: 75 points

The movie is just like a game of cricket: unnecessarily long.
It's also incredibly formulaic, but yet quite effective. It really gets the most out of it. Even when you think they couldn't make it any more dramatic, they take it up one notch.
The songs weren't all bad luckily.
No masterpiece, but I had a good time. 6/10 My Long Film Challenge: 202 points

I don't see why this is so amazing. It's interesting and there are some very disturbing scenes put in the scope of history. But I didn't like the never-ending homemovie scenes and the fact that it was all brought without commentary. I was 10 years old when he was shot.

12. (1pt) Magnolia (1999) dir. Paul Thomas Anderson - 7.2 - just over 3 hours, and it felt that long too. Interesting enough with all of the different storylines, but it just didn't really come together for me.
13. (1pt) Andrei Rublyov (1966) dir. Andrey Tarkovsky - 7.6 - watched the 3h3m version since the 3h25m version I had was a bit wonky with the subtitles. Glad to finally cross this one of my list, but gosh was it long. Can't imagine what the original extra 20 minutes worth of footage contained. 11 pts so far

Original, creative, funny (a lot of Pythonesque humor), but also exhausting, repetitive and hard to keep focused and therefor waaaaaay too long.

I know someone who watches this at least once a year. He says it gets better with each viewing. I think it's overwhelming and a little too demanding in its rigor, but I really like the concept. It's too much of a good thing.

Original, creative, funny (a lot of Pythonesque humor), but also exhausting, repetitive and hard to keep focused and therefor waaaaaay too long. I kept looking at the runtime: "OMG, I'm not even halfway yet! Does this go on like this the whole movie?!" Yes, it does. My Long Film Challenge: 204 points

I really liked the concept as well, for about an hour. After that "overwhelming" is the right word.

25. The Civil War (1990, 680 mins) 9/10 | 9 points
Lately, in my spare time, I have been reading up on each President of the United States, starting with the first, George Washington, and going chronologically from there. When I reached Abraham Lincoln (1861), I had also reached the Civil War. Knowing little about the conflict and having had Ken Burns’ The Civil War in my watchlist for years, I thought now was the time to finally find out more about his kind of documentaries, as well as learning more about how The Civil War to a large degree shaped the country since.
Of course, while the battles of the war themselves were important, partially in securing the second term in office for Abraham Lincoln, history makes clear in its 20/20 hindsight that the history of the United States since the first President up to today has always been about slavery and racism. With almost no exceptions, the 15 presidents I have read about until Lincoln had all been slave owners or were married into plantation families. As Ken Burns’ The Civil War makes absolutely clear, the war was never really about secession from the Union, it was really about slavery all along. Secession was only a means to preserve slavery. Thus the Confederates, in their wicked battle doomed to fail, were fighting for the worst reasons. But the people of the Union were, as this documentary makes clear, by no means saints themselves.
Ken Burns’ The Civil War is a singular achievement, much like Shelby Foote’s 1.2 million words on the war, whose presence is a welcoming feature in the documentary. Incredibly, the heavy reliance on photographs, paintings, choice quotes by voice actors, interviews and a melancholic score never make the 11,5 hours turn stale. This is in part helped by how all of this is used together poetically in a way that, like the best kind of history writing, gives a great sense of understanding of how life back then was lived. Also helping in that regard are the many clips from interviews with Foote. Foote's passion for telling stories of great small moments of poetics throughout the many devastating battles makes it is easy to see the players of this history as both very ordinary and extraordinary at the same time.
Interviews with African American historian Barbara J. Fields are incredibly powerful for different but obvious reasons, making it very clear how the Civil War did not end racism or slavery, but only reduced the most extreme versions of it. The inclusion of interviews with her and the occasional focus on the important role of women and African Americans throughout the war are very welcomed, and does not strike me as an afterthought in a narrative that definitely was always going to focus mostly on the battles, the generals and the President. Instead, Ken Burns’ documentary is a complex beast that through extensive use of many varied sources paint an image of a contradictory US with deep historical wounds both from hellish battles and in its horrible treatment of fellow citizens.
Ken Burns’ documentary has been critized for not really dealing with the Reconstruction Era that followed after the Civil War, as obviously slavery did not end with the 13th Amendment and the end of the war. That would take many decades. This criticism of the documentary is fair, and, as many other reviewers note, an extensive documentary on the war would look pretty different if it was made today. This does not mean however that this is not a masterful utilization of the documentary form, and arguably, popular history, in a way that provides thick description and meaning to a chaotic but crucial part of US history, and a war that, to paraphrase Barbara Fields, is still ongoing.

I really didn't get it. This was mostly a documentary, right? Some people were interesting, others totally not. I hardly got the connecting between them. Some things were clearly not just a documentary, but what was the point then? Then suddenly we get a closeup of someone's dick. And we end it all by witnessing a birth in all its glory. I've seen it twice for real and it's beautiful if it's your wife, but it's just gross to look at someone else's labor in all details. 5/10 My Long Film Challenge: 208 points

thanks to maxwell for showcasing how to auto-table shit like this. (still haven't quite figured out how to not fuck up Pivot Tables when making them from scratch, but I'll get it eventually).

Fergenaprido: "I find your OCD to be adorable, J"
Forgot to post this this weekend, when I watched it:
70. It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World (1963)
1 point
Yeah, I watched the extended version despite the warnings of several people here, so I watched over 3 hours of the worst movie ever (according to OldAle1). I should have listened. I thought the start was pretty funny and gave enough ground for a fun 90 minutes or so, but there was just too much. They should have cut even more scenes and complete characters when they made the final cut. Certainly not the worst movie ever, but I liked Rat Race a lot more. My Long Film Challenge: 211 points

A lot of beauty, but too slow to keep me really interested in the characters. It also felt too distant from the two teenagers, so they kept feeling like two background characters to me. 7/10 My Long Film Challenge: 212 points
