[sorayama34]

..it´s a wile since i saw the movie, but this track still goes deep.. sometimes less is more!

[robelicit]

h3llo not much time to write, will post more next week if possible; mainly just giving tribute to this classic video that shows the brilliance of Bebop... especially the way Bebop artists, writers, directors, producers, managed to tell stories that are alot like other sci fi & western & detective-adventures, yet still beyond them all in serious & humorous ways =][=

[himez123]

@robelicit Amen to that

[AER1994]

That was fucking epic

[shikon432]

Any one know whats the name of the first song

[AER1994]

shellshock is the name of the first song and dead reckoning is the name of the second song both by clint mansell

[himez123]

@shikon432 its either Julia or Memory i think its memory look it up on YT and also type in OST

[robelicit]

h3y - GREAT work on this VIDEO ! u managed to get that powerful subtlety just like Clint Mansell's music.

yep, BEBOP is so strong, brilliant in a simple way.

I wonder how many great directors-- like Coppola, Kubrick, the Coens, Weir, Kurasawa, Allen, Haggis, Gilliam, Aronofsky, Mendes, Tarantino, Scott, Peckinpah, Lee, Scorsese (too tired to remember more) would watch Bebop & wonder how the artists & creators produced

such damn good work on a limited Tv / mainstream time & budget, whew.

[robelicit]

w3LL, great discussion below. Seems to me that individuality & complexity will allow change in unique forms / ways.

If freedom + variation are utilized, stories & art CAN be unique, unpredictable & GOOD,,

even when drawing on old meta-plots

with recurring fears, struggles, desires, needs, redemption, revenge, failure, success, curiosity, etc..

YET complexity + freedom can interact & yield open possibilities & seemingly infinite or emergent new realms even working with alot of old constants.

[Anime2Music]

Mesmerizing...just a work of art.

[ZechsMerquise73]

Its funny how many movies that are popular seem like direct takes from Cowboy Bebop (Kill Bill, Smoking Aces), but you'll never hear about it in the mainstream.

[SageVallant]

Yes. Certainly, no one had ever thought to make movies about Revenge or Bounty Hunters before there was Cowboy Bebop. And you need a lesson on "mainstream"; this WAS on cable tv for months. Maybe years. It's not some secret little classic only a select few otaku know about.

Cowboy Bebop, innovative as it may be, is hardly original and unique. It just tells the same stories in new and interesting ways, and it tells them well.

[ZechsMerquise73]

Kill Bill is a response to all the anime based off Tarrintino's (sp, d/c) work.

Cowboy Bebop is very unique in style, theme, premise, and execution. Its obviously borrowed from y some media. Do you think creative media doesn't influence other works?

[SageVallant]

I think you've got your influences mixed up. It's this Life > Art > Life kind of cycle. But the real driving force, and it's something any good writing teacher will tell you, is that no "Fresh Idea" is actually original. Example: Overlying theme of Retribution in Bebop (Spike vs Vicious) is old as myth. Every story worth being told has been, when you break it down to the base level. His prestige, his delivery of the story, the payoff, is excellent tho. But he wasn't the first to tell it.

[ZechsMerquise73]

How exactly do you get 350 Zombie movies/books/video games from real life experiences? If you really don't think media influences other media, that's just one of the most ignorant things I've ever heard. So, you think there are really "space cowboys?

So every story worth being told is about retribution, and you think that's the element you think I'm saying has influenced other media? What have you been doing with those 27 years of life? Read a book, or watch a movie that isn't B quality.

[SageVallant]

Let me explain something you don't seem to understand. A "cycle" is something that continuously repeats. Art influences Life influences Art influences Life influences Art and so on. Forever. And that cycle has been repeating since cavemen started painting on walls. Life is the origin of Art; those cavemen were painting things they'd seen. Embellished, perhaps, but still things they knew. Symbols. At this point, art (media, if you prefer) and life are so entwined you can't separate the two.

[SageVallant]

Zombies / Undead weren't invented in movies, they were invented in ancient history when there was a fear of angry spirits rising from the grave, before the whole "virus" concept. Monsters come from a collective fear of the unknown, and are old as mankind.

Technically, you can break down most any plot into about 5-10 metaplots. 7 is a popular number. Overcoming the Monster, Rags to Riches, Quest, Voyage / Return, Comedy, Tragedy, and Rebirth. Retribution would be under "Overcoming the Monster"

[ZechsMerquise73]

Where did the 'virus' concept come from? Media influencing other media. It started in one movie and spread to another, and became a genre fixture. Whether or not the original use came from fear of real life viruses, or even another horror sub-category... The point is, at some point, these ideas spread from media to media.

You can ramble on with pseudo-philosophies that we can't even take an original photograph as it simply is copying from a whole picture. Its a pointless discussion.

[ledzeppelin3601]

i love smoking aces great movie. a instant classic you know

[SageVallant]

As an action fan, I think I would've been happier if Aces had actually turned out to be a badass and just started laying people out... just saying...

Still, it is a great flick.

[dondee500k]

As a big fan of both Bebop and Smokin' Aces I have to say, EXCELLENT JOB!
