This was actually good wtf, the random mobster being the most kind person you will ever meet was a bit unrealistic but still a very good movie with a pretty smart and decent message
>>219775949it has some of the most accurate gen-z dialogue ever put in a movie.
>>219775949>Random MobsterThe Bald Guy? I thought it made sense he's an immigrant with no opportunities and has to support his grandma.
>>219775949>Jewish sex workerCan't suspend my disbelief.
>>219775949If Safdie and Bronstein are mumblecore/New Wave, what is Sean Baker? It feels really adjacent, but not necessarily the same thing.
>>219775949I thought it was interesting how the director said he wanted to humanize prostitutes with the film, yet the ending is about how being a whore has fundamentally broken her to the point where she can't understand basic human intimacy. So sees the goon giving her the ring as payment for sex rather than him doing something nice because he genuinely cared about her and wanted to have a relationship. So when he starts tenderly kissing her she becomes confused and upset.That is certainly not the kind of destigmatization I would have expected from someone who said they wanted to humanize sex workers, which I thought was quite interesting. This was certainly not a movie about women's liberation through being the biggest whore possible like Poor Things. Fucking hated that movie.
>>219777082None of that is inconsistent with humanization.
>>219776866i always called his style naturalistic filmmaking
>>219777082I didn't think it had an anti-prostitution message, is just saying something typical like how you want to progress your career and not stay stuck, you could do any other scenario where someone is working in retail or as a fast food worker, you wouldn't be anti-retail or anti-fast food worker per se, you just want something better eventually that's it
>>219777082that's exactly what humanizing is. I liked poor things (it's funny and I got to see my eternal waifu's goodies) but it's way different. that one is more, women must learn that men are pigs and my pussy my power! It's girl boss shit wrapped up in shock and dark humor. Baker's take is not only different but far more nuanced. Can't wait for his next movie.
>>219775949Now you should watch Red Rocket and The Florida Project.
>>219775949What is the message? I'm not gonna watch it
>>219777873Be yourself
>>219776502No cap? On god?
>>219776866They're usually placed under the american neorealist umbrella
>For Anora, Sean Baker has stated that his intentions were to "help remove the stigma that's been applied to sex work, that's always been applied to this livelihood." Andrea Werhun, a Canadian writer and actress best known for her 2018 memoir Modern Whore about her prior time as a sex worker, served as a creative consultant on the film.
>>219777873big booty bounce up n down
>>219778328Why does this shot fill me with unfathomable rage?
>>219775949literally 95% of the /tv/ people who were mad at this film never saw it and just made up an imaginary film to get mad at
>>219776830Absolutely nothing in the film indicates Anora is Jewish.
>>219778430The lighting in this movie is atrocious
>>219777082What about that is not humanizing?
>>219778306https://archive.4plebs.org/tv/search/image/mEbQjjgxTzYctOqcluLUtA/
>>219775949Anybody who likes this slop should be shot in the head
>>219778430Because you're an idiot
>>219778651Explain how, in detail.
>>219778666did you actually see it?
>>219777187>>219777367>>219778654I didnt mean its not humanizing, I just figured a person who said he wanted to humanize sexworkers would also glamorize it and was surprised (not in a bad way) that he did not.
>>219775949her body is so perfect that I unknowingly started tweaking my dick while watch this movie with my entire family, needless to say I had move out shortly after that
>>219780788His films aren't very glamorizing in general.
>>219777082Feels like it's stigmatized by almost everyone for no real good reason. A massive psyop.
>>219778642She’s named after the Jew tentacle candle holder
>>219782474Her name is from her Russian grandparents and means light or honor, this is literally in the film when Igor suggests she should go by Anora instead of Ani.
>>219778430because that's too much ass
>>219775949it's a funny movie but the parts where it tries to take itself seriously as oscar bait suck and bring it down, the ending scene for example is 5 times longer than it needed to be and I found it hard to feel bad for the crying bitch after she had acted like an insufferable cunt for the last 2 hours
>>219775949What are they going to do for Anora 2?
>>219778642Wasn't there a whole conversation about her jewish grandmother or whoever taught her russian?
>>219778633Nah most people got mad that the filmmaker's other superior films didn't get oscars and they only gave this one because they felt bad about repeatedly overlooking him.
>>219775949OP is definitely a woman. Literally.
>>219777873The message is be a whore, good things will happen. Or just be a whore, regardless of what happens. I laugh at people who have kids at this point. Retarded
>>219783897>good things will happen.So good, you end up a sobbing divorcee trying to blow a stranger in a shitty old car?
florida project > red rocket > tangerine > anorahowever they are all kino and in my top 30 films of the last 20 years
>>219777082>Poor Things>Fucking hated that movie.agreed. thankfully there are women out there who see it for what it is. they're not a lost cause
>>219775949What message?
>>219783897One day when you're elderly you'll weep endlessly as you die alone with no loving children surrounding you. I feel bad for you as consumerism has taken your soul.
for me it's Red Rocketsome news for his next:>Some big news out of CinemaCon: Warner Bros. has launched an indie label, Warner Bros. Clockwork, and Sean Baker is set to direct its debut film, “Ti Amo!”, which is now slated for a 2027 release. A summer production start is expected.>What a great filmmaker to kick off an indie label with. “Ti Amo!” must be the film Baker recently hinted was set in Italy and an ode to ’60s and ’70s Italian sex comedies. It apparently has Italian actress Vera Gemma as part of the cast, who is best known for her performance in “Vera” and for her acclaimed turn in “Scarlet Flower.”
>>219786860>Vera Gemmabogged to hell, I wanna know about what young cutie will be in the movie, the Red Rocket chick was really hot
>>219777082>sex worker has a traumatic breakdown when it finally dawns on her she's destroyed the part of herself that understands physical/sexual intimacy as something normal people can do when they love each other and isn't just a thing you reflexively do when a man hands you moneyI think Annie's reaction was very human, anon, she realized her industry dehumanized her and that really frightened and upset her
>>219780788his other movies are about a suitcase pimp who gets humiliated when everyone finds out he's trying to get a 17 and 11/12 year old into porn, before that he did one about a drug addict whore whose kid is taken by the state, and before that about two trannies who end the film doused in piss in a 24 hour laundromat washing a cheap wig
>>219786272Being a whore will fix this??
>>219778430Post more Mikey. She a cute
The whole chase is silly to the point of being grotesque and then the last part with her and that random guy was utterly pointless and a perfect example of "but now let's focus on the MC's brother's housemaid's son's rare medical condition" millennial writing.
>>219778642>Anora>menorahtoplel, can't unhear
>>219788786Retard. The last act is the entire point. Anora and Igor can actually see each other for who they really are, Vanya and his oligarch family was just using them both for their bodies. Igor actually gives a shit about Anora on an intimate level and admires her for more than just her physicality.
>>219775949love wins
>>219788840>The last act is the entire point.lmao no, the story is about her and the oligarch's son and everything around him. That she rebounds on the dick of some random goon is irrelevant, it's a pointless epilogue.You probably don't even crop your pictures because you think the random trash bin on the edge of the picture is just as important as the actual subject of the shot lmao.
>>219783504Mecha Anora
>>219775949Literally the best best picture winner in a very long fucking time.I was surprised as well because Red Rocket is really overrated
>>219776866It's something a bit like grunge I guess.Take all the glitz and glamour away, without going full edgy. Stories about the underclasses, specifically prostitutes, gangsters, small town working class lowlifes. But then add in a bit of humour to balance out the grit.Kind of like folk I suppose?The film equivalent of stomp stomp clap music maybe?
>the gangsters are effeminate reddit-tier pussies that get bossed by a literal hookerJoke of a movie.
>>219788840she treats him like garbage until the very end, and his interest in such a hysteric, mean-spirited skank makes zero sense
>>219789285it's a comedy, also they're not really gangsters
>>219775949Fag
>>219775949pussy drip drip-drip drip droplet
