i'm not making movies for those of "you" who will skip the boring parts or quit watching because of it being too boring. Guess what? I'm making movies for me.
That's certainly a valid approach, and the 'rules' are different when you're just making movies for yourself. As long as you're happy with it, and enjoy making and watching it, it works.
The thing is, I just don't believe you.
what i'm trying to achieve is that people actually get BORED! I want people to watch those 7 minutes of trivial bullshit and go "Oh my god, this guy is taking so long to get ready, i hope it's worth it.".
People will go "WTF! All of that preparation and his girlfriend ain't even real ?! This guy must be fucking crazy".
I want people to get bored, angry, whatever...with my work. I Want people to feel something,
That's an awful lot of consideration of what you want the audience to feel and think for someone who's making movies for themselves.
Plus, you created this thread to share the film, so you clearly were hoping people would watch it. The next day you posted the link to the film in your other thread. The day after that you posted here that you'd like some feedback. Five days after that you bumped this thread with a question mark, suggesting you were still waiting for feedback. Two months later, with no feedback forthcoming, you bumped the thread again, quoting your own request for feedback. You also posted the film again in the other thread, asking again for feedback. The following day you posted it in the other thread a third time.
Again, you're going to a lot of effort to get people to watch your film and tell you what they think of it for someone who's just making films for themselves.
So you'll have to forgive me when I say I don't believe you're making films for you. You may be
making the film for you, but you're also making the film with an audience in mind, considering how they will react to it, making an effort to get people to watch it, and eager to hear how they feel about it. Now that you're getting some feedback, and you don't like it, you're going to have to decide if you're fine with it being a film that just works for you or if you want it to work for an audience as well.
Now, i'm going to try and explain why i still prefer the long (boring) version. [...]
And that's why he puts perfume and checks his breath a couple of times, and why he takes so long getting ready. I want people to go trough that preparation with him, just like we go trough the training with those soldiers when we watch FMJ.
There's a couple of key differences. First off, most people have gotten out of the shower, dressed, and cleaned up for a date, or a party, or work, or whatever - maybe daily, maybe a few times a week, certainly many, many times in their lives. When they watch your film they aren't seeing anything they aren't already intimately familiar with (other than mussonman, of course).
Most people in the audience haven't gone through basic training. They probably have no real idea how hard it is, or the kinds of crazy things that are involved. They don't know how it progresses, or what the effect is on the people going through it. On the most basic level it serves to introduce them to a world they aren't familiar with, aren't likely to ever experience themselves, and gives them a glimpse of what the experience is like for those who do go through it.
There's a second level though - the basic training section of FMJ isn't primarily about moving the plot forward. It's a framework for setting up and exploring the characters, their personalities and interpersonal dynamics. What they're doing isn't as important as how they each react and are affected differently by the experiences they are sharing. Most of the secondary characters act as foils for the protagonist, so that through his experience of interacting with them we come to know and identify with him.
And then on top of all that there's a third level - the whole boot camp segment serves as part of Kubrick's commentary on the structure and practices of the military, and lays the groundwork for the way the soldiers who are a product of that system will behave on the battlefield.
It may be an hour long, but it's dense - so that every shot, scene and sequence in that hour builds on the levels of meaning and the experience for the audience.
Your sequence, in comparison, is of very low density. It doesn't show the audience something new, it does little to establish the character in any meaningful way, and it doesn't appear to have any larger commentary or meaning. It merely documents an everyday action.
what I'm trying to achieve is that people actually get BORED! I want people to watch those 7 minutes of trivial bullshit and go "Oh my god, this guy is taking so long to get ready, i hope it's worth it.".
I still don't see how boring the audience plays into this goal at all. You could have shown 3x as much preparation in half the time you spent, which would have the audience thinking "what is this guy doing so much prep for?" You aren't actually showing a lot of prep - who doesn't spend at least five minutes getting ready for... almost anything? What you've shown isn't abnormal, or excessive, or unusually detailed, so why would anyone question why he's doing it? They're more likely to simply question why they're watching it.
Then, when the "girlfriend" arrives and it's just part of his imagination. People will go "WTF! All of that preparation and his girlfriend ain't even real ?! This guy must be fucking crazy".
Again, how does boring them play into this? You want to engage your audience by building anticipation, let them form expectations, and then break those expectations to create your WTF moment. Boring your audience is exactly the opposite of that - they disengage, they have no expectations, and thus they have no investment in the outcome of what they're watching.
Think about it this way - what are the odds of you getting the desired reaction from your audience if most of them stop watching long before they get to the point where you reveal it?
