Is this kino?
>>217446187It's alright, I imagine people who went to private boarding schools appreciate it the most
>>217446187Not really. In terms of legacy-to-quality proportion, it's the same as The Breakfast Club.
>>217446187it's a power fantasy for middle school teachers. it's worth a watch but only to see what makes those kinds of people tick
>>217446226Definitely better than the breakfast club. Maybe a little overrated from nostalgia but its a few steps above breakfast club
>>217446271From my perspective, any movie that jerks off that much over "muh literature" can't be good. t. humanities major in college
>>217446187I wept a bit when the Dr Wilson from House killed himself.
>>217446187one of those movies where endless parodies references have turned it into pastiche and diminished its impact
>le "parents are evil because they want their kid to be financially stable with a good job instead of pursing an art career that has a 99% failure rate" trope pretty sure this trope was invented by nepo babies whose parents were already in the industry
>>217446375>one of those movies where endless parodies references have turned it into pastiche and diminished its impactI hate this shit. watching Maltese Falcon was almost painful because it's been chewed up in pop culture so much
>>217446375>>217446642the older I get the more I hate reference-based parody. it's just so lazy to piggyback on a better work like that in a bid for recognition
>>217446187Boarding schools are gay. How could everyone not kill themselves from being stuck around faggot boys reading poetry all day?
>>217446187I too am in this movie.
>>217446187It seems like one of those films written for an extremely specific audience from a particular generation, kinda like Fast Times. I didn't care for it.
>>217446187it is kino but accidentally, because it shows the absurd narcissism and delusions of would-be artsy types who love to blow smoke up each other's ass all day but never actually do anything of value or learn anything concrete
>>217446534Yes, a subversive trend that continues through the decades.
>>2174465341% of artists succeed and tell everyone in a similar situation that their Dad's a retard.
>>217446187Everyone in this is a pussy. No many times will I ever be like "I would've done better" for a movie but I absolutely would've stood up for Robin Williams and the dead kid. High school me would have loved telling teachers and my parents to fuck off rather than keep quiet or lie. Massive pussys. I didn't go to a new England boarding school though
>>217446291>he thinks its about literaturewhat a retard
