Thread for those who've been watching cinema seriously for 5+ years and have advanced past capeshit, mainstream movies and the same old flicks.
Don't be offended, this is not meant to be pretentious, its just some of us have moved past IMDb-core, indie flicks and the latest hyped blockbuster and have more developed tastes. Do not troll or derail the thread with off-topic discussion.
funny that you use the pic of a generic oscarbait flick to your patrician thread, or am i wrong and that's not Bridge of spies?
Blake Morris
I don't know. Just finished the new Independence day and now I am asking myself if someone pulled a prank on me or people honestly liking this movie like no other. I have more questions in my head than answers. Why did I wasted my time on this? Why are people to write horrible dialog? Why someone feels ok to put this dialog on screen and waste someone elses time? How do these people sleep at night?

I was looking for pre-Satantango Tarr movies on Amazon and I didn't see any. I really want to get into Tarr but I refuse to torrent.
In the theaters I recently saw Hell or High Water, Sully, Hunt for the Wilderpeople, and Magnificent Seven.
Sully was fine, but I don't even understand why it was a movie. >Hanks lands the plane in the Hudson River >Saftey inspectors seem to think he could have landed it at the airport >In the final scene, it's shown that didn't account for the time it would take for a human to react in the simulation. >Hanks says to do this, they agree, and it's the simulation shows he couldn't have landed at the airport.
Wilderpeople and Hell or High Water were fantastic, however. Wilderpeople had tons of style and humor and thrills, and both films had superbly written characters. Being that High Water was more of a straight drama, the characters had more depth and layers, thanks to both the writing and the acting. Ben Foster and Jeff Bridges gave the finest performances this year, aside from Meryl Streep. I actually thought Chris Pine was much better in The Finest Hours, and even Star Trek. Still, he was fine.
Sam Neill and Julian had fantastic chemistry, it's always a treat to see Sam on screen.
No doubt the money was to good to pass up, but I wish Waititi continued doing his own stuff instead of stooping to capeshit. At least Jeff Goldblum will be in the next Thor. Another Jurassic Park cast member that should be starring in more movies.
Kayden Bennett
>Kurosawa, , Kubrick, Lynch, Villenueve, Welles the list goes on!
The hallmarks of the tasteless and the uninitiated. It's okay if you're just getting into the medium, but there are some (even here, on a so called ''film'' board) that actually believe they are cultured or have a snippet of taste because they like these directors, when in actuality they are nothing more than embarrassing cringeworthy copy/paste babbies with no opinion on the medium they claim to love whatsoever.
For a cinephile like myself, it is truly disgusting to watch, and the main reason I, and many others, steer far away from this pit of despair and depravity.
Lincoln Davis
I watched Hail Caesar! yesterday. It's not a bad movie, but quite bland for the Coens.
Not long ago I watched a Serious Man, and liked it very much. The jewishness is not only justified, but somewhat explored. And the conflicts the protagonist must deal with felt real.
I genuinely liked bridge of spies, but would not sit again through it. I like all the cross imagery and how for the first half of the film Hanks always has a light behind him.

Bad movies are bad movies, no matter when they're released.
For instance, most academy award nominated movies are released near the end of the year because they're not expected to make money, therefore the losses are in Q4, while being offset by the holiday bumps, and Q1 just sees their revenue.
Its all an accounting game.
Bridge of spies was great though.

Thomas Lewis
that is an absurdly inflated rating for that movie
that movie is completely decent, featuring good performances, but mostly feels like Coens-lite. It's alright but it feels pretty slight and the ending sequences begin getting rather silly.
It's worth about a 6 at best
Grayson Thomas
Get your head out of your ass.
Lincoln Ortiz
>Coens lite Haven't seen this one but Mackenzie has a lot more developed sense of staging than the Coens. He doesn't have their sense of humor though, but delivering genre films unironically is kinda his thing. Maybe you say it for the rural town feel?
Anthony Reyes
...
Andrew Anderson
The small town feel is certainly an aspect but it also attempts to pull off the Coens' signature blend of off-kilter humour, especially a humour elicited from bit characters who illustrate the amusing idiosyncrasies of the locals in small towns.
It's completely competently made and it has its moments but it's entirely unremarkable and communicates zero interesting ideas. As I said before, completely decent but it's hardly near being a great movie.

I liked Mother better than Memories, but then again I was never crazy about that supposed masterpiece. Mother is one of my favorite films of the century on the other hand.
Jeremiah Flores

I will definitely have to get on Mother in that case then.
I really love Memories of Murder a lot. It and Zodiac are two of my faves of the century.
Joseph Moore

Holy fuck yes. It's a bravura work of stunning beauty. Italian neorealism, Indian style, and just as emotionally devastating.
Ian Lee
>Memories of Murder is a masterpiece Yes, yes, but what about Zodiac? Has anyone, Cred Forums or other, come to a consensus on which film does it better? >I still haven't seen Mother You should, it's the epitome of maternal instinct - inherently underrepresented in film, as art is wholly male-dominated until recently and thus such bounds are repressed at best or even nonexistent in most film. Although it catches you off guard, as you're forced to sympathize with the poor retard in the film, too the point of blinding yourself to the truth, just like his mother does.
Jordan Allen
Nice redditstyle post. Then again, that's /lbg/ for you
Cameron Evans
They're literally the same film. I prefer Zodiac because it has greater cultural resonance for me, but if I was born in S. Korea I'd probably like Memories more.
Memories also has more humor and more dropkicks, if that's your thing.
Oliver Brown
Reminder, if a "film" has above a 7/10 rating on IMDB/RT/MC, then it's probably an entry level pleb flick.
Nathaniel Johnson
I prefer Zodiac but I love both of them. I think Zodiac's ideas are more fully formed and they're expressed more interestingly.
I will definitely get around to Mother soon. I think I have a copy.
I don't quite buy that. The two movies are very similar of course but I think Zodiac's ideas about the obsessive search for some kind of coherent meaning in the world are more present, and interesting, than in Memories. Anyway, they're both major films.
Anthony Foster
>They're literally the same film What can possibly be said against this kind of stupidity?

Bentley Gutierrez
>They're literally the same film No, Fincher reeks of Hollywood, unlike Joon-ho. Even if they were identical in plot, they'd be different from one another. The basis of their comparison falls to their common element of mystery and themes. >dropkicks Slapstick? It's completely out of place if you ask me, and one of the weakest elements of the film. But I have to respect that it might be a cultural thing.
Isaac Clark
I hate this kind of mentality man.
>reeks of Hollywood
What does that even mean?
Hollywood has produced some of the greatest movies ever made.
I hate the snobs who think that having good taste means hating Hollywood movies or movies that happen to be entertaining while being serious art. It's such a sad, close-minded perspective that is actually reflective of someone with bad taste rather than the opposite.

Luke Jenkins
I was linking them thematically, obviously. Fincher's gloomy-noir mise-en-scene is a more immersive affect, but Joon-Ho's compositional clarity should not be understated.
Nerdwriter did a pretty good overview of that film;s cinematography if I remember correctly.
also >can't handle the dropkick bantz

are you somehow suggesting that The Witch isn't part of a conversation concerning the historical persecution of women?
because you'd be wrong:
>Yeah—to sound like a tool director type—“I was trying to present without judgment.” I was trying to figure out what “the witch” meant in the early modern period and depict “the evil witch” in a way that she would have been understood in the time. But without any agendas, feminism rises to the top.
>In the early modern period, from the contemporary perspective, looking back, it’s clear that the evil witch is—it embodies men’s fears and ambivalences and fantasies about women and female power. In in that period, in this extremely male dominated society, the evil witch is also women’s fears and ambivalences about themselves and their power.

What? 'Sexism' is an ideological construct. Fear of witches was about literal fear of literal soul-danger from literal witches. People make period movies with no willingness to understand the alien beliefs of the past, and waste their time and ours as viewers, chasing their preconceptions in a circle.
Carter Garcia
>the evil witch embodies men’s fears and ambivalences and fantasies about women and female power.
No, it doesn't
>In in that period, in this extremely male dominated society, the evil witch is also women’s fears and ambivalences about themselves and their power.
No, it isn't. That was easy.
I love when people back-project their agenda onto past eras in order to fit it into their ideological narratives.
William Hughes
You're then simply not that one creature. But surely is another one that decides to be here to put a stench on the place. And what beloved strawman would be that, darling?
Nolan Fisher
>What does that even mean? It means Fincher is tied down to the studios funding his films, providing his necessary talent, and so on; he relinquishes a degree of creative control for Hollywood perks, unlike many directors who fight against anti-auteur influence in their works.
Colton Taylor
Fear is confronting something you don't understand, which is what men (and women) would do when faced with unnatural women or women suspected of being unnatural.
The root of the witch hunts was a perception that women were a channel for the supernatural, which as we all know was utter nonsense.
Since documents like the Malleus Maleficarum fed this idea that women were to blame, it became an issue of female persecution. That's why witchcraft is historically tied with feminist theory.
Josiah Cruz
that you simply can't debate the points and would rather patronisingly try to blame the author you're so obsessed with.
well tough shit, he's not here to call you out on your delusional campaign of idiocy. But I am.
Leo Cruz
>No, it doesn't This is your idea of a counterpoint? lol. no wonder you don't understand basic ideas. Your brain isn't big enough to process them.
Jack Green
I don't know it was utter nonsense. Have you proven that there's no such thing as the supernatural and there were in fact no witches of any gender operating at that time who were in touch with negative forces?
After all, you faggots, who touch up kids and pass on the deadly HIV virus, you believe Trump's a male witch, don't you? And you think Clinton's a white witch who'll save you from getting iced by the unconscionable number of sandniggers in this country. Isn't that a belief in the irrational?

Hunter Evans

Never happened. You have an overactive imagination, and not just in relation to your ignorance about historical events.
You still need to qualify these statements:
>the evil witch embodies men’s fears and ambivalences and fantasies about women and female power. In in that period, in this extremely male dominated society, the evil witch is also women’s fears and ambivalences about themselves and their power.
with something other than your personal feelings / agenda and an overactive imagination.
Benjamin Scott
You made the assertion that 'we all knew' something. Yet you seem unsure whether you know it. Can you prove the supernatural does not exist, and that accused witches were never witches and never in touch with any real negative forces? If you can't, why do you think it's right to patronise people you've never met who had less scientific equipment at their disposal for such tests than you do?
The fact that you think you have any possibility of being respected here is more retarded. You express yourself like a homosexual, and hold beliefs everyone here has thoroughly repudiated. Your scrapping here is futile, pissing into the wind.
Matthew Miller
i've been enjoying Peter Greenaway's ouevre. i've enjoyed everything he's done except for 8 1/2 Women, which seemed like a lesser work. Nightwatching and Goltzius and the Pelican Company are remarkable, as are his earlier films. i don't think Eisenstein in Guanajuato was a strong effort narratively, but it was marvelous visually. kind of sad he wants tomake a trilogy of Eisenstein films. i'd rather he work on exploring the Dutch Masters. can't wait for Walking to Paris, though.
i also tried to watch The Loss of Sexual Innocence by Figgis. i found it rather dull. also Suspension of Disbelief was quite amateurish. man, what happened to that guy? Leaving Las Vegas was tops. diminishing returns from Figgis ever since.
Mason Taylor
> somehow suggesting that The Witch isn't part of a conversation
It's not part of a conversation, it's a movie repeating vulgarized versions of hot takes from thinkers who were themselves vulgarizing assertions made in haste and with no understanding of history by basically dishonest career grievancemongers.
