>>24117877SOMEONE POST THE COPYPASTA
he shouldn't strike anybody as an erudite reader. he's more of a painting/photography kind of guy. that's why his movies are the way they are. they're not exactly profound.
>>24117939No
>>24117877This explains a bit why I hate all his movies
>>24117939Of Eraserhead, Lynch said,... I got out my Bible and I started reading. And one day, I read a sentence. And I closed the Bible, because that was it; that was it. And then I saw the thing as a whole. And it fulfilled this vision for me, 100 percent.I don’t think I’ll ever say what that sentence was.Mary X's house number was 2416. Acts 24:16 reads:So I strive always to keep my conscience clear before God and man.Deuteronomy 24:16:Parents are not to be put to death for their children, nor children put to death for their parents; each will die for their own sin.
>>24117975I agree that they aren't but which films are? Just seeking recommendations, I'm already done with the filmographies of Tarkovsky, Bergman and Kubrick
>>24117995>I'm already done with the filmographies of Tarkovsky, Bergman and KubrickYou mean you already saw them? How can you be "done" with a filmography? Like you just see it once and scratch it off the list like you're trying to fill in a Bingo card?
>>24117877Bros... You never read Robert Henri, Frank Capra, Robert Flynn Johnson... It's just an art book...
>>24118001Don't make that crap more complicated than it needs to be, bro. I'm simply looking for suggestions that are novel to me. Are you going to tell me "watch Eyes Wide Shut again it's a very profound movie"
>>24117995Well it depends on how you define profundity in film, which syncs up with what does occupy your mind on a daily basis. A neurotic pomo kind of guy who's obsessed with what images even mean might get a lot out of late Godard (late 80s onwards), whereas someone else could equate it to horseshit. You could also get a lot of mileage out of a dry Documentary film, which some (wrongfully desu) may deem to be ultimately inartistic. They're exercises in style and rhetoric more so than they are potent diatribes on truth or poignant critiques. That's part of why I find Bunuel to be loathsome, but then again someone like Debord managed to squeeze some decent food for critical thought out of his little films. Think about how much you can get out of an image vs how many thoughts could be packed into it. Interpretations, readings, sensibilities, yadda yadda. Poetry and aphorisms. I could and would like to keep going on and on about this crap, but I'll save you the trouble and recommend you a few things that I find to be notable. They're not the greatest, they've just been lingering around my mind for a while. To each one I'll add a blurb that will either entice or repulse you.>O Ultimo Mergulho (The Last Dive) by Joao César MonteiroIt can get quite pretentious, and I may not like its somewhat tired glorification of ''men and their whores'', but i'll be damned if some of its imagery doesn't haunt me to this day. As far as life-affirming celebrations of life go, it's pretty strong.>Voci nel Tempo, and Nostos: Il Ritorno, by Franco PiavoliThe splendor of life>The Black Stallion, by Carroll BallardLove and Kindness don't have to be maudlin.>Finis Terrae, by Jean EpsteinMen working.>Routine Pleasures, by Jean-Pierre GorinMen and their hobbies.>Yearning, by Mikio NaruseDetermination.>The Shiranui Sea, by Noriaki TsuchimotoPeople dying, slowly and quietly.>The Hourglass Sanatorium, by Wojciech HasAs kaleidoscopic as films can be.>Quick Billy, by Bruce BaillieFinding myths within your mundane memories.There's so much more out there to discover and witness. If you like A Clockwork Orange's satire, you could check out Lindsay Anderson's Mick Travis trilogy. Plenty of other names are worth a look: Ritwik Ghatak, Yoji Yamada, Mitsuo Yanagimachi, Theo Angelopoulos, Raoul Walsh, Herzog, Larisa Shepitko, Mario Bava, Alain Cavalier, Craig Baldwin, Hal Ashby, Yuri Illineko...It's a vast, vast world out there. It's unbelievable.

Everything I've seen from this man, from his corny one-liners in interviews, to his taste in books, and mostly from his work and the people who admire him, makes me bored out of my mind. Truly an artist that only Hollywood could produce.
