Meshes of the Afternoon All of David Lynch’s work All of Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s work Some of Tarkovsky’s work (like Mirror)

I’m not going to delete my previous comment because people deserve to see how fucking stupid I was. I had the Mandala Effect or something because I didn’t remember that final scene with Betsy in the cab, and I misremembered the shootout as the final scene. Sorry for my overly confident stupidity.

Satoshi Kon's Paprika

Eh she survived being stabbed. Something that’s happened all the time. It’s a fantasy after all. She was one of the only entertaining aspects of the show.

Haha, same. I had to look it up after your post because I was like “wait, is that what it was? Hmm”

These are huge leaps lmao. Trash video. He's just interpreting their style of acting differently.

I only know what my childhood brain remembers ;) Possom Pepper Corporated!

Woke cultures impact.

Everybody afraid to do something that hurts some snowflake.

To throw a less often mentioned film into the mix, Stay, with Ryan gosling and ewan McGregor. Very subtle hints like disproportion of food servings, random seemless transition, locations that don't really make sense. Love this movie.

'And now I've lost her all over again'

Who are the communists and communist sympathizers in this scenario? Something about this does feel similar, but I'm not sure what because there are several groups they have to try to not offend.

I mean Luke’s story was amazing. To me seeing our heroes 30 years later being some unchanged uber flawless badass is lame. And not an interesting story. What they did with Luke in the sequels is a highlight for me. I LOVE HelloGreedo’s video on this: https://youtu.be/KVtol2CDkn8

However - Obi-Wan didn’t change, and THAT was the issue. That’s why telling a story for him in that era is silly. He was a depressed hermit when we saw him at the end of Episode III and he was the same depressed hermit when we meet him in IV so any story told between those two is nothing but fluff because the character never gets the opportunity to change.

Mortal Kombat

That's a great example of being lost in Asia in the middle of an American city. If you haven't read the book, it expands a lot more on the background stuff which I found really interesting, especially in historical context of 30 years ago when it was predicted that Japan would soon be the dominant global power, at least culturally and economically.

Also the premise of the movie is actually quite topical, even if the technology is dated, as it revolves around essentially a deepfake.

And Predator is Friday the 13th

> I wouldn’t say this is an underrated film because lots of people like it.

Then why bring this up at all..

Yes the last hour of Cast Away is devastating and beautiful, but so was the first hour.

Absolutely not.

Sopranos

I said something similar about Avengers Endgame. A single-digit year gap is exactly the worst duration for someone to be away. If it's weeks or months, no problem, most aspects you really can step right back into your old life. If it's a decade or more, there's just no question about it: not happening. But a couple of years? You probably won't, but there's just enough of a possibility that that hope winds up wrecking you.

Condolences to his family, but is a death really newsworthy if the person's biggest highlight is that they're related to a famous person?

our way, yes our way*

> That’s pretty interesting because from a “theory of film” point of view, the added text, or even the script, does it have the same weight of truth as the actual shots?

It has more weight than the actual shots. They used a real building to depict a fictional location. Due to an editing oversight, the real building's name appears in one shot. The fictional character in the fictional story was held in the fictional location, as indicated by the script and the supertext.

This movie is one of the greatest of all time.

Un Chien Andalou (1929)

Servant on Apple TV. First season was phenomenal, super suspenseful, great premise with a dark sense of humor. On the 4th and final season now and they’ve dragged it out to the point where I’m only watching to see how it ends but the story could’ve been wrapped up in one season or better yet, a 2 hour movie
