Congratulations to first-time FEOTM winner g1orkatsos for last month's victory!
In January we had:
The Assassination of Julius Caesar by kerr
Intention: "First and foremost, this was an experiment in editing - to edit an entire TV series' worth of footage in order to tell a self-contained, different and cinematic story. I didn't want to simply condense the story of the series into two hours, I wanted to tell the best possible two-hour story with the footage that was available. Great care was given to the dramaturgical structue of the piece - I did my best to create a story that fit into a classical three-act structure."
Exit to Eden: The "Things Are Not Looking So Rosie" Edition by slark
Intention: "To create a film that concentrates on the relationship between Mistress Lisa and Elliot, and so is much truer to the original story.
"(Actually, that's a complete whitewash of my intention. I just wanted to cut Rosie O'Donnell out of the movie. The fact that it wound up bringing the plot closer to the original novel was just a happy accident.)"
Icarus by LastSurvivor
Synopsis: "Die Another Day should have been celebration of everything good about the James Bond franchise. Unfortunately, in trying to throw everything but the kitchen sink at the screen in celebration of 007's 40th anniversary, director Lee Tamahori and the producers ended up with an unfocused movie, riddled with poor innuendo jokes and some ill-advised ventures into the more fantasy CGI arena. The hope with Icarus, is to redress the balance and uncover what I believe is a genuinely good old-fashioned large scale Bond adventure. No invisible car, no CGI tsunami surfing heroics, the poor jokes removed, Icarus attempts to give Pierce Brosnan the Bond swansong he deserved."
Memories Alone by Q2
Intention: "After seeing "Black Swan" it occurred to me how similar its story was to that of "The Wrestler". I decided to see what could be done by merging the two stories into a single film."
Watchmen Comic-Cut: At Midnight, All The Agents... by Gargamel
Intention: "While the Watchmen film lacks much of the emotional weight and depth of the comic, it matches the look and images from the comic almost identically. Thus, I thought that the film could be used to organically fill in the gaps between each panel, creating a sort of hybrid motion-comic using video and sound clips from the movie."
(Note: This edit is Part 1 of 12.)
So, the choice is yours Dear Reader. Who's going to take home the gold this month?
