>Movie made by a Jew.

>>44642827
I would have had the dude hang himself at the end desu
if you're going to show the horrors of repping might as well go all out and show the end result of a wasted life
then again maybe life as a soulless husk is a fate worse than death?

>>44642836
>then again maybe life as a soulless husk is a fate worse than death?
this is kinda the point of the movie

>>44642827
i would put an actual trans woman in it

>>44642860
yeah then I'm dumb lol. desu I fucking hated that movie, scarier and than most horror movies I've ever seen. I guess the director accomplished what she set out to do

I wouldn't've because I'm not a stupid faketranny

>>44642827
If I were given the opportunity to direct "I Saw the TV Glow," I would preserve its core thematic architecture while amplifying the film's surrealist dimensions and psychological ambiguity. I would further explore the dichotomy between perceived reality and suppressed identity, utilizing more nonlinear storytelling, prolonged visual motifs, and deliberately disorienting transitions. My intention would be to create an even more immersive audiovisual experience that challenges conventional narrative expectations while intensifying the film's existential and emotionally resonant qualities.

>>44642827
Tranny would be white

>>44642898
this reads like you're writing an answer on an exam lol. I do like the idea of adding a little more nonlinearity / intentionally disorienting elements to the movie, probably would have been nice to jump back and forth a bit more

>>44642827
I would add a 300 minute long scene at the end where Owen finds himself in a massive military parade that extends in all directions to the horizon. After marching for an hour, they stop and the Field Marshal himself, who looks like a Breker statue and is completely naked, strides in from the horizon and inspects the uniform of all these men. When he gets to Owen, the Field Marshal notices that Owen hasnt polished his boots well enough, and as punishment, ravishes Owen's tight ass as Rammstein Sonne plays. The film's new and better ending will be the camera zooming into the Field Marshal's open mouth as he orgasms deeply. Like the way that Invasion of the Body Snatchers ends. I think the message of the film is a bit clearer with this addition

>>44642942
I appreciate that observation, and I think the comparison to an examination response is actually quite apt given my tendency to conceptualize cinematic experiences through an unnecessarily formal analytical framework. That being said, I agree that a more nonlinear structural approach could have meaningfully enhanced the film's thematic ambiguity. Strategically interweaving different temporalities may have further destabilized the viewer's perception of reality while reinforcing the protagonist's fragmented psychological experience.

>>44642827
I would include a "adult fandom" (Sissyboomerhon allegory) community to torment the protagonist into further repression

LLM cadence

>>44642994
i've not seen it but would that conflict with the "there's still time" meme i've seen from the film?

>>44642898
Okay israel gpt

Give Fred Durst more speaking roles

i would cast arin hanson as the main character and leave everything else the same

I'd add a Theyfab villain and a drug homebrew side plot

>>44642827
as a nontranny i felt nothing about it
I cried when I realized i will never be a real woman like Oscar or w/e the name of the protag was i forgot

>>44643052
you know sometimes humans write in an extremely stiff and formal manner, that's where LLMs got it from. it's just a typical academic writing style
it's not like they said anything wrong. desu it doesn't even feel THAT AI-generated as someone who works on LLMs all day but I could be wrong

I'd try to get the actors for Younger Owen and Older Owen to look more similar

>>44642994
everybody should read The Masker. just saying...

I would release two cuts: 1) the original cut as currently released, 2) a second ending where the black guy troons out and joins a transbian polycule. Theaters would show both cuts at random, leading fans to discuss which ending is the true ending.

>>44642827
I haven't seen it but Mumkey Jones liked it so I approve of it.

>>44642951
i will return here, to find you, when i am a famous producer
>>44642994
there's definitely something there with repression triggers (reinforcements?). a lot more interesting than "repper is coward"

>>44642827
i’d make Owen less insanely awkward and autistic, because he’s so incredibly incapable of basic normal human interaction that transitioning wouldn’t fix his problems, he’d still be a complete mess as a girl

>>44642898
I have to respectfully but firmly push back here, and I want to be clear that I say this with the deepest possible admiration for the impulse behind that vision. But I don’t think it goes far enough. In fact, I’d argue it fundamentally misapprehends what “I Saw the TV Glow” is asking of us.

Let me be direct: amplifying the surrealism is the safe choice. It’s the choice a filmmaker makes when they’re afraid of the material. The original is already drowning in ambiguity; adding more nonlinear storytelling to that is like adding more water to the ocean and calling it a bold reinterpretation. What the film actually needs, what it has been quietly begging for since its inception, is radical concreteness.

Here is what my version would do instead:

>Every scene would be shot in a fully lit Applebee’s. Not as commentary. Not ironically. The suburban dread is already there; I would simply refuse to leave.
>The Pink Opaque would be replaced with C-SPAN coverage of a 1997 municipal zoning hearing. If mediated narrative can hold suppressed identity, it can hold it in the parking-minimum debate too. Arguably more so.
>Owen would be played by seven actors simultaneously, all in the frame, all at once, none of them acknowledged. No explanation is offered. None is owed.
>The runtime would be exactly ninety minutes, and forty of those minutes would be a static shot of a Blockbuster return slot. The audience will understand. Or they won’t, and that itself is the text.
>All dialogue would be delivered at a volume slightly below the ambient hum of the theater’s HVAC system. Suppressed identity should be literally inaudible. I feel strongly about this.
>The final act would be a working phone number the audience is invited to call. Nobody answers. It rings forever. The credits do not roll until someone in the theater gives up.

>>44643739
>Mumkey Jones
Always gave me repper vibes

>>44645506
The original vision speaks of “immersive audiovisual experience,” and I understand the instinct, but immersion is a form of comfort. Immersion is a hug. What I am proposing is not a hug. What I am proposing is a film that ends with the audience filing out into a parking lot at 2 AM, uncertain whether the movie is technically over, carrying a small piece of Applebee’s silverware they do not remember taking.

That is the film. That has always been the film.

>>44642963
>Strategically interweaving different temporalities
ok scooter that's enough 4chan go listen to your 50 hour playlist of corporate slideshow music

i would cast andrew tsyaston as the main character and leave everything else the same

this part is all accurate

>>44645662
There's no football in TV Glow

I wrote a story where self-amputees unintentionally invoke blood sacrifice pacts and it had a repper who cut his cock off in it. Its pretty bad bevause i'm not good at prose or structure or ideation. Tho.

>>44645729
there is no war in ba sing se

>>44642827
It’d be about a queer diabetic who loses their job to AI and goes on a revenge quest to kill an AI company CEO before they run out of time and die of ketone acidosis. The opening scene would be the main character walking through the city streets strutting their style to Take me Out by Franz Ferdinand and the final scene would be the diabetic having a showdown with the ceo admits a demolished data center; think similar to the finalboss fight of Meta Gear Rising Revengance with Take Me Out coming on for a second time

>>44642836
wouldnt work cus the message was that u should kill urself or u le feel bad ??

>>44646241
what the fuck? are you drunk?

>>44642827
at the end he would act out based on his delusions and he would get thrown in a psych ward where the doctors tell him the tv show was never real

>>44642827
It would be about an awesome knight who goes on an adventure and it's super cool. It would be like a badass fantasy world where there's dragons and weird creatures. The knight would also be a cute girl and would have a lesbian relationship and it would be wholesome. There would also be a cool looking dragon done with practical effects and it would be voiced by Dameon Clarke.

bump

>>44642827
I hate the voice over narration it's so amateurish. It tells when it should show and wastes time trying to explain it's own plot. I hate how the director is compared to Lynch because of some "weird" imagery. Lynch was a true master of storytelling. Schoenbaum makes queer pulpy B movie shlock.

>>44642827
I would have made an entirely different movie instead of a boring hyper-stylized piece of shit with no point whatsoever.

>>44642951
Wtf?

>>44649052
the voice over narration is part of the setting and directly referred to you dunce

surprised most of the replies are actual attempts at keeping the core themes of the film unlike other boards where "improving" media is just soulless autists going "add more fan service!!!!!1!1!1!1!1"

>>44642827
i'd delete the whole thing

>>44650743
Well, consider what the film is about, and which board this is...

cast someone less moided then use prosthetics for the older scenes

>>44650718
Uh okay? Voice over is only used when you're too lazy and uncreative to move the plot forward without the actor literally just reading it out to you. It's garbage. There's like a 5 minute sequence of the dumbass main character aimlessly walking through hallways telling you about the story it's fucking boring and bad filmmaking. I don't care that it explores themes you relate to it's still bad.

>>44643116
went through this exact same thing when i first watched it as a retarded repper.
you are a repper and you are retarded. take your pills alice, etc

I'd have more trans covers of time-period-accurate songs
