>>23831298>The film that launched modern fascism>Fight ClubLMAO, one of the most ‘tarded takes I’ve heard, and I’ve heard a LOT. If any pop-culture movie has influenced fascists it’s American History X, I see them talk about it all the time. I don’t think I’ve seen anyone under the age of 30 actively discussed fight club. It was very much a movie of its time in the 90s along with films like falling down and that one where Kevin Spacey tries to fuck his underage daughter’s friend.Media literacy is true and well deceased.
>>23831349>Media literacy is true and well deceased.always has beenprobably largely a psyop in the first placei don't even buy the idea that "you gotta have conflict and resolution in every scene, that's good because it's good"i don't buy that for the medium of film, but idk if i even buy it for narratives more generallyseems like a psyop
>>23831349>and that one where Kevin Spacey tries to fuck his underage daughter’s friend.wtf>If any pop-culture movie has influenced fascists it’s American History X, I see them talk about it all the time.i really can't stand that movie, it's literally just an open threat
"you won't be forgiven, you won't be allowed to have a family, you will get ass-raped & your family members shot"oh wow great fascist movieEVERYONE IS SO BROKEN
>>23831355I always try to write scenes based on how they would be in real life, I find that works best in media and if you read a lot of old books that’s generally how they were written. Then again, writing a script for a film or television series would be a lot different because those are visual media and you can relay a lot of story elements visually as where in a novel you have to relay everything through clever words, dialogue, and descriptions.Probably less saps and more laziness/social mindset of “that’s just how it’s done”. >>23831374I can’t remember the fucking name of it. >American BeautyThere we go! Thank you Google. Anyway yeah, it’s in the same vein as falling down and fight club: normal white collar white male wagie gets fed up with suburban life and does socially unacceptable stuff. I think American Psycho technically falls into this category, although I think that was intended to be satire of YUPPIE culture of the 80s and just ended up being a really weird and very memeable film.
>>23831443i can certainly see how an idea as general as "conflict -> resolution..." would be useful to a writer, and maybe help create media which sells betterit also seems like writing with abstract patterns like that is a way to drastically reduce the work/effort required on the part of the writer, as oppose to the way you suggest, "writing scenes based on how they would be in real life"similar to how AI might be able to help an artist, i do think it's on that levelit takes the craft/personality out of it, almost changes the act of writingi guess that wouldn't be a problem if people had it in their minds that there were two schools of thought, and could consciously choose between them, but i seriously doubt that's how writing is taught

Thank you Google.ah ty>Anyway yeah, it’s in the same vein as falling down and fight club: normal white collar white male wagie gets fed up with suburban life and does socially unacceptable stuff.i found fight club aged much better than falling down, or maybe falling down just sucked, or maybe i didn't get it...>I think American Psycho technically falls into this category, although I think that was intended to be satire of YUPPIE culture of the 80s and just ended up being a really weird and very memeable film.ehehehi know fight club & american psycho were both based on books, i tried reading american psycho at one point but didn't get far into iti wonder how much differently the books hit
>>23831349The point seems to be that fascism is an aesthetic/fetishization of brute strength to compensate for perceived inadequacy/insecurity, and, naked aggression for the sake of naked aggression to bolster said aesthetic and alleviate sexual repression, particularly the homosexual varietal. Millennial men who misinterpreted this film, and almost certainly didn't read the book, or (m)any books for that matter, are the folks who are now attaining the reigns of power, so to speak. Though, the above tendencies (exacerbated by christian ideals) seem to be a primal and natural (if ill-adapted to a modern civil context) place to arrive at, and seem to be much the framework for our conceptions of (misanthropic) masculinity.Literacy in general is wanting, but it feels that more the issue is, aside from narrow-mindedness, people paradoxically taking themselves far too seriously whilst conducting themselves with a (gallows-humor, sure) farcical flippancy... the very fabric of fascism.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hD5eqBDPMDghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZpxaiNV_sM
>>23831613well, the domineering patriarchy ideals, the compassion and charity shtick is either dispensed with, or, used (sparingly, often) as a reward for compliance/allegiance... also the tendency to induce self-loathing, irrational fears, persecution delusions, delusions of grandeur, etcetera (all components of the film (which is a product of this very psyche)) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySGSb3pCUEM
>>23831613How are any of those things exacerbated by Christian ideals?
>>23832081>Persecution delusionsLmao
Did you ever think that persecution "delusions" may not be delusions at all and are instead a result of an unending struggle between men where we have routinely killed one another since the beginning of time? Generally that kind of conflict was brought about by an outgroup.You're a moron who thinks the world has moved past violence and patriarchal structure.The only problem is those 2 things are natural and inherent to humanity in every single way. The washed down evolved sort of man you seem to idealize doesn't actually exist naturally. It's a conditioned state. It's unnatural in and of itself. This is why films with violence, structured violence, appeals to men. Not whatever the fuck you are rambling about.I think you're a funny little guy, though. Media literacy might be dead in your mind, but you have no conception of reality and history.
>>23831613>The point seems to be that fascism is an aesthetic/fetishization of brute strength to compensate for perceived inadequacy/insecurity, and, naked aggression for the sake of naked aggression to bolster said aesthetic Most "fascist" are ultra nationalist who hate minorities. They don't follow this belief or wear it like a costume to mask their own insecurity or inadequacy. I looked up what "naked aggression" meant and from what I gathered it just means: aggression without any reason. That certainly doesn't fit the bill you fucking moron. These people use everything they can cling onto to the justify their beliefs, that blind aggression is fueled by logic and facts(in regardless of how faulty that logic is and valid those facts are). They don't do it just for the sake of it, they do it because they believe that it's morally right to do so and that it will benefit the country.>and alleviate sexual repression, particularly the homosexual varietal.>Every homophobe wants to fuck gay menThat's such a retarded argument. If someone hates you...they probably just hate you. I don't get why there's this weird sexual element added to it. I doubt most /pol/tards who celebrate troons offing themselves wanted to fuck their axe wound.
