Queen of /film/

>Wake in Fright (1971)
Yeah I think I got me self filtered. I already "scheduled" a rewatch for next friday, might as well get it. By filtered is that I don't consider it a masterpiece as many anons on /film/ do (if it's more than one schizo spammer btw) My thoughts on it anyways, it made me uncomfortable which the film tried and achieved it. The entire 'abba cast got me to nerves, the overall dirtiness got me mad actually.That's all I can say, Australia looks like hell on earth.I need a rewatch.

Peter O'Toole looks creepy as fuck. I cannot stand looking at his big lips and wide mouth

>>204853064
had an O'Toole spree recently
What's New Pussycat? was a good one, if a little corny with that mid 60s british zaniness
Beckett was great, i don't think i saw a Richard Burton film until now but he was great in it alongside O' Toole
And How to Steal A Million was a fun heist film, reminded me a lot of the first pink panther movie. Audrey Hepburn was cute in it too

Any more comfy movies like The Hunt or Another Round by Thomas Vinterberg?

>>204853580

Not only do they work as friend, work and family simulators for me, they only make me feel like I’m living a halfway normal life. Not to mention the lessons they impart.

>>204853604

See! I grew up in that sort of environment. I was basically Klara in The Hunt. It reminds me of my youth before everything went bad. Nothing dramatic like what happened in the movies happened, but I’m very familiar with that type of environment.

Alice Sweet Alice- thought of /film/ while watching, for multiple reasons.
Hated it during the first 20 min, then it hooked me and I ended up thoroughly enjoying it, especially as another lowbudget 16mm gritty 70s NY-area movie. Acting is appropriately over the top, closeups ended up being effective and claustrophobic.
The landlord is definitely /film/ in a nutshell.

>>204855052
Haven't got to Waters yet. Interested in Cecil B mostly. But I still don't understand how people hold such a disgusting person like Divine. Maybe I'm biased since I'm a bit transphobic (my specific problem is with males-to-females) so that might explain.

Peter O'Toole telling drinking stories on Letterman is a fun time to be had on youtube.

>>204855125
Divine wasn’t trans, was he? I thought he just cross dressed so he could play a girl and make the movies a bit more ridiculous. I’m not transphobic myself, but Waters gets a little old after a while, but I do like him as a person. There are some funny scenes I still think about from time to time like Dawn having a fit because she didn’t get her cha cha heels. Cecil B Demented was ok, mostly because of Melanie Griffith and it shouted out filmmakers like Fassbinder and Kenneth Anger. It also is cool that it is encouraging others to make films. The whole ethos of John Waters is also admirable. Basically something like passion outweighs technical know how.

>>204855226
>Divine wasn’t trans, was he
AFAIK he was drag, I respect that shit but he was too nasty (thing I dislike about any person desu) but probably even idea of Waters himself.
>Cecil B Demented was ok, mostly because of Melanie Griffith and it shouted out filmmakers like Fassbinder and Kenneth Anger
Nice. I'd like to get myself through Fassbinder, but I promised myself to read Berlin Alexanderplatz before watching it.
>The whole ethos of John Waters is also admirable. Basically something like passion outweighs technical know how.

Divine himself said the best part about dressing as a woman was finally taking the clothes off. So not a tranny, he was just a crossdresser and i think he only did it for Waters's films and whatever public appearances he had to do for money. I'm not even sure he was fully gay, there's an interview with Waters where he's talking about their high school years and he says Divine even had a girlfriend.

>>204855671
>their high school years and he says Divine even had a girlfriend
Have known many gay men who had girlfriends in highschool/college before coming out

>>204855691
Waters didn't indicate he was in the closet, but could be, or maybe he was bi, idk. I know Waters himself was never in the closet, it seems he had really cool parents who were also rich and gave him money for his early films.

>>204855815
>In January 1966, Waters and some friends were caught smoking marijuana on the grounds of New York University, and he was soon kicked out of his dormitory. He returned to Baltimore, where he completed his next two short films, Roman Candles and Eat Your Makeup.

You sound like uncultured swine. Have you ever jacked off in the back seats of a movie theater? I didn’t think so.

I have this memory. It could be a memory of a dream or reality, I’m not sure. I was very drunk one night at a movie theater watching some artsy fartsy movie. I started pissing all over the theater walkway, and then left. I know exactly what theater it was, and am scared to return there, because I don’t know if this actually happened or if it was a dream. This has plagued my thoughts every day.

There is a lot of gay imagery in Eisenstein's films.

>>204857325
I wonder why?

>>204854970
Keane (2004), a film about a schizo father searching for his missing daughter. Same director as Clean, Shaven.
And Carnival of Souls (1962) obviously

>>204857325
You are reading too much into it. The only overtly gay character in any of his films is the transvestite singer from Ivan Grozny II. Also that was based on a real guy apparently.

Well, Clean Shaven is about the same thing, almost. Was the director repeating his gimmick? Anyways, I liked Clean Shaven so I might check that one out.

- Images of macho men in groups, and frequently in uniform: the sailors and government troops in Potemkin, the knights in Alexander Nevsky.
- The dress-like male armor in Alexander Nevsky.
- Stripped young men tied up in Que Viva Mexico and the St. Sebastian images of stripped young men shot full of arrows in Ivan the Terrible.
- Eisenstein planned to have a young man play Elizabeth I of England in Ivan the Terrible Part 3. A screen test reportedly survives. Shades of Orlando (Sally Potter).

I watched Noroit because it was in an art house October watchlist and it sucked so bad but the women were super pretty. What’s a good horror kino to check out this next week?

>>204857677
Yeah I thought the same but I still liked it

>>204857596
Eisenstein doodled naked men in his free time which is why they banned him.

Ivan Grozny ii has both the tranvestite singer who was real life boyfriend of Ivan as well as the extremely homoerotic Polish king from the opening of the movie. The one who gives a Fascist style speech about exterminating the mongrel hordes while the one soldier literally prances into the throne room.

Am I the only one who thinks of that scene in Clean Shaven every time I pour milk into my coffee? Also, I always think about that scene from Angst every time I eat sausages. What are the /film/s that changed the way (You) see ordinary things?

>>204853064
I worked for a second hand bookstore in london between 2014-2019 and we were offered to go through Peter O'Toole's books after he died. It was just my boss, his daughter (I think) and myself in a garage in north London with most of his prized possessions inside. There were various pieces of memorabilia, sports cars, cricket bats, a 19th century martin guitar. Eventually, my boss and the daughter went to lunch while I waited for the courier van to arrive to pick up the boxes of books. I was alone in the garage and decided to snoop around. Eventually, I see a box marked 'Awards' and low and behold, inside was his honorary academy award from 2002. Felt so surreal holding an Oscar in my own hands. Played the old martin guitar a fair bit too. I was 18 at the time, either 2014 or 15, so I hadn't even seen any of his films at that point, which is a shame.

Really surprised you pointed that out. I kinda associate coffee and milk with schizos because a lot of schizos and just eccentric people like uploading photos of what they eat/drink/bought in grocery stores/etc on vk.com (I'm from Russia) and it's often a cup of coffee+milk and an ashtray full of cig butts nearby. The funny thing is that I'd known that even before I watched Clean, Shaven and the film sort of 'played along' with my autistic theory. One of my friends is aware of that too and when he used to visit me, sometimes when we went to the balcony to smoke I made myself a cup of coffee with milk and he always said
>lmao you are like those fucking crazy people

Never understood that meme. For me, it is the rest of the world that feels surreal, "magical realist" &c. It is as if we're the last bastion of common sense and civility in the world, which is telling of the current state of things, as we do not particularly excel in those areas either.

I agree that the situation in pretty dire in here. But this is at most a material corruption; on a spiritual level, if we may use that word, the perspectives are quite different. I concede that this point might seem subjective or dependant on some cosmogony, but I don't think we can escape such "subjectivisms" if we are to make a moral assessment of the world.

It is this grim. Also checked RYM to find films of the 2020s and found out that The Substance is rated the 910 best overall film of all time according to that site... beyond fucked.

>>204866253
Eh, he made entertaining joints, but that's about it, so I guess he was good at entertainment. If he was still alive, he'd be making Netflix slop like Euphoria or Squid Game, he worked at that level.

What's your opinion on The Rules of the Game? I use that as a way to gauge how someone's taste leans as far as classic film.

>>204866223
This. His films are horror slop that’s been canonized as “auteur” and “muh craft, muh technique” to make the solid logs of shit exit his gaping asshole into the waiting mouths of his paying audience and go down silky smooth.

>>204866346
When I watch his films I am not entertained

>>204866350
Renoir effortlessly destroys anything Hitchcock ever did

>>204866368
More like mystery slop, but the point remains the same.

A pretentious opening crawl informs us upfront that this film is Art, not just a mere thriller. Bresson for some reason doesn't like acting and so the cast give the flattest, most robotic performances ever to stutter across a screen. The pickpocketing scenes are unconvincing, and it drags despite being less than 90 mins long.
Apparently there are religious undertones, and it has something to do with redemption and grace. Whatever.

Redpill me on Cronenberg

>>204866974
It's a Crime and Punishment adaptation

>>204866998
He's not that good, 4-5 bangers at best. Personally, I didn't like Crimes of the Future, though I should've loved it.

>>204856086
Watch this, faggots

>>204867379
It's about overcoming the fear of death and the apparent silence of God in the world. It's an alright film, you should watch more of the same director.

>>204866974
lol, what?

>>204866998
Pretty much this >>204867058, for me, it's like this:
>Rabid 2/10 - super amateur flick, almost no redeeming qualities
>The Brood - don't remember it that well, but the practical effects were pretty amazing
>Scanners - also don't remember this one that well, was worse than The Brood but enjoyable still. Iconic webm / gif came from here.
>Videodrome 8.5/10 - aesthetic masterpiece with little substance. A classic.
>The Fly 9/10 - probably his best flick.
>Dead Ringers 8/10 - one of his most interesting joints thematically speaking.
>Crash 9/10 - personal favorite, aesthetic masterpiece and his most interesting kino.
>eXistenZ 5.5/10 - pretty dumb film.
>Cosmopolis 7.5/10 - used to like it a lot, but then I realized how bad the film is on a formal level.
>Maps to the Stars 7.5/10 - similar to Cosmopolis; ideas are interesting but the execution is too poor as to be watchable. The fire webm is hilarious.

>>204867379
It's one of the best films.

>>204867502
>overcoming the fear of death and the apparent silence of God in the world
i got that, especially from his confession and attempted sacrifice. i found silence to be a better film to depict the first point. i will check more of his as it was my first. any recc for the next one? i was considering persona

>>204867619
Persona's probably the best choice, though the most accesible and entertaining of his films might be The Serpent's Egg.

>>204867559
>no naked lunch
good film, subpar compared to the book of course

>>204867997
It would be insane if it was better than the book. Burroughs was just on another level, man.

>>204867619
>Start With:
Wild Strawberries
The Seventh Seal

>I like the historical settings
Virgin Spring

>I like the melodrama

>Gimme more of the surrealism!
Persona
Hour of the Wolf

>Give me one that blends surrealism with melodrama
Cries and Whispers

>>204868478
Because it's an amazing film with a chick with big tits.

>>204868500
is it a visually stunning and inventive film with a chick with big tits? i think not. i'm not even putting vertigo in here

>>204868309
Have you watched those already? I'd suggest Le quattro volte (2010) and Crónica de un niño solo (1965)

>>204868309
Baby's Day Out

>>204868555
>is it a visually stunning and inventive film with a chick with big tits?
I'd say so.

Vertigo is just a 6.5/10 film with a mid chick.

It applies to creatives and inventors who are ambitious and want to pursue unrealistic careers. That's maybe 5% of the human population. For the rest of the mortals it's 9-5 or 8-6 waging. You don't pour your life into making corporations richer. You just have learn a skill, maintain a normie schedule. Wake-up at 5am, study, go to classes or go to work, come back, exercise, turn your brain off to relax and go to bed early after dinner because you got to wake up early next day too for work or college. Normies with normie jobs aren't doing anything original. They are just studying, doing Internships, and working 9-5. What will a normie even practice everyday by cutting down all distractions? On the office work that his boss dumped on him? Practice more on being an expert office worker? Again, normies don't do anything original or be creative in their office work. That's life in the 21st century bud. Welcome to the jungle. Creative work is useless and has no value while an engineer for a fortune 500 company who hasn't created anything creative or original in his life like Woody Allen did, earns more than most creatives who waste time pursuing creative careers.

>>204870452
>you don’t think normies have hobbies of any kind?
NTA, and actually, yes, I don't think they have any meaningful hobbies. I've lived with normies or near them all of my life, and their lives are completely consumed by routines like jobs and education. Zero extracurricular activities. If you play basketball as a hobby, you're most likely a post-normie.

Do you consider watching films a hobby?

>>204870700
No. Neither are playing video-games or reading books. Consuming media isn't a hobby.

>>204870700
>>204870726
Define “hobby”

>>204870687
I'm asian too, why you clownin' at lil timmies for appreciating our cinema? They are one of the good ones.

>>204870753
Shooting films, developing video games, writing books

>>204870617
Wouldn't consider them normies, really, more like post-normies. The normie barely has a consciousness beyond the mundane, the post-normie seeks some level of individuality in life. In filmic terms, it would be like this:

>Normie films
Star Wars
Disney shit (Soul, Frozen, Toy Story)
Casual new horror (Terrifier, The Nun)

>Post-normie
Filmbro stuff (Fight Club, Godfather)
A24 arthoe stuff (Midsommar, Hereditary)
Oldfag shit (Hitchcock, Leone)

>Weirdo
/film/ shit
Noé, Grandrieux, Von Trier, etcetera.
Independent kino

>>204870700
Only if you take it seriously and are passionate about it. Watching the new Star Wars or Marvel slop to kill time isn't really a hobby unless you are autistic about it (like Jenny)

>>204870847
Where are Edgar Wright bros?

What a bunch of meaningless terms.

>>204866998
One of the best out there

>>204870923
Firmly belonging in the post-normie category. Many future weirdos got into kino via Scott Pilgrim. Post-normie might be a transitory state or a permanent state depending on the initiate's taste and desire for more kino.

>>204870847
Trier is 'A24 arthoe' stuff

>>204871021
Nah, he would filter any A24 consoomer into the ground.

>>204870772
Lil Timmies are enemies of Asians. They often fall for the orientalist grift that seeks to undermine and cheapen Asian culture and values in pursuit of acclaim and popularity in the west. Lil Timmies watch grifters like Sion Sono, Bong Joon-ho, and Edward Yang, but they have no clue who Li Han-Hsiang even is. Lil Timmies cheer when they watch Asians listening to western pop music and dreaming of emigrating to the US.

>grift
stopped right there, forced meme is forced

>>204871122
>t. fuming lil timmy

>>204871002
Literally me. Big fan of Scott Pilgrim since 11. Unironically one of my favorite movies. I loved Shaun of the dead too.

>>204871084
Explain how is Bong Joon-ho a grifter.

>western pop music
Much prefer it to K-Pop, sorry.

We're all niggers here

>>204871084
I agree with you for the most part, but timmy's lists have been fairly decent so far, lots of stuff that 99% of westerners never heard of.

>>204871158
I also started as post-normie since childhood; was watching Evangelion and Spirited Away at 6 years old. Also liked Scott Pilgrim. Some guys really got obsessed with the comic book.

>>204853170
it helps if you have been a hardworking young alcholic at one point in your life

I skipped the 'post-normie' phase except I always liked Kubrick and Hitchcock

>>204853170
btw, got to the thread late, but I am the Wake in Fright anon.
this guy here is correct >>204871217
but also the film plays much better on rewatches. First time I saw it I got filtered too, but when I rewatched it and knew what to expect it clicked a lot more.

Actually wait, I think I've always been between 'post-normie' and 'weirdo', still am

>lil timmy
forced meme is forced, again

>>204870452
Let it make this clearer to you dumbfucking faggot. He practices the clarinet because it's a side career for him. He has a touring band and plays to crowds in Europe and on the east coast and gets an earning from the tickets. So why don't you shut the fuck up the pointless inconsequential "muh hobbies" that normies have. You useless fucking retard, he's talking about practicing skills to make it into your career . He's not talking about hobbies anywhere you fucking moron.

We're all lil timmys here.

Woody Allen has never made a /film/

>>204871159
Parasite is an evil anti-Korean film promoting subservience to an American value system. Do you need to wonder why a Korean film won the best picture Oscar? Come on now. If Bong continues to be successful in the US, expect most of his future films to be shot inside the Hollywood system.

No need to be sorry. K-Pop is a part of the Hallyu scheme. It has nothing to do with real Korean music.

woody allen fucked his daughter

>>204871330
Yeah the Aussie sleaze aspect also works too, since most of us don't live in Australia it is a fascinating window into another culture and way of life that works in a minor horror framework, but it also is very funny too,

The term can be used to describe a phase or a state of being; if most of your taste is post-normie then you belong there. For normies though, 90% will stay normies forever. Entrance into the weirdo state is rare, only like 20% of post-normies will eventually get there, and most weirdos are born weirdos (they perceive since very early on that they are different from other people in their taste for kino, media and life in general).

aussies seems cool

The rest is about all the skills he practiced which eventually became his careers, he made money from magic tricks, he made money playing the clarinet and he made money writing screenplays.
