Why is everyone suddenly saying that this movie is a masterpiece?
>>220037439>suddenly
always was
>>220037439I watched it years ago and remember really liking it. the effects are neat
>>220037439Most people on Youtube are Racists on Methamphetamine
>>220037439The last good movie by the Wachowski Bros
For me, its racinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FtBAGMSw-I
>>220037439Because when it came out no one saw it because it looked like some retarded kids bullshit like a cereal commercial. Then you eventually see it as an adult and its a memorable experience because it looks amazing and its super fun
Bing bing wahoo the movie
>>220037439If I have to sit here and explain it to you, you don't deserve to understand.
>>220037749nonja detected
>>220037439Possibly the only masterpiece made by a woman.
>>220037439Sneed Racer
>>220037439Because it is a masterpiece, it got panned at the time because the world wasnt ready for it.https://youtu.be/1ZstYUCgWFo
>>220037439Because people are rewatching it in high numbers. It was always amazing. Only retards didn't think so.
>>220037439I wanted to see this when it came out, but my parents refused to take me once it got bad reviews.
>>220037439Because it is
Saw it in theatres. The only good movie those freaks ever made.
>>220037439compared to Spy Kids? Maybe Wachowski's should reboot Charlie's Angels. Odd that 2 people who want to be women so badly never tell stories centered on women.
>>220037439It's not a masterpiece obviously, but it's a movie you're a faggot if you can't appreciate it the unique aspects of it.
>>220037439It's just as corny as the live action Flintstones. It's a big inside joke to say it's a good movie.
>>220038711Based quippy sarcastic overweight Millennial.
>>220037439It's the second best anime adaption after City Hunter with Jackie Chan
Royalton's monologue was cathartic Easily the most fun villain in decades> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EG3rq-M7uMc
>>220038682Matrix 1 is literally top 5 greatest movies of all time.
>>220038832if youre retarded sure i can imagine youd think that
>>220038019>>220038821Yeah watching this scene as a kid was intense. I didn't see it coming and I didn't expect him to be simultaneously ruthless and so passionate about his "religion". It really opened up my eyes that religion is a matter of faith and dogma, period, not any belief in some higher being.
>>220038854>It really opened up my eyes that religion is a matter of faith and dogma, period, not any belief in some higher being.*tips fedora*
>>220037492spbp
>>220039021This isn't reddit, retard. It's basic fucking psychology. Humans are a religious species and will form dogmatic hierarchies and develop blind faiths over literally anything. Even science. Your hatred of le reddit science is justified in the sense that the current science ("ScienceTM") isn't actually science rather than a politically funded cult. Politics is also a religion. A religion is just a more accepted cult, but sometimes the word cult is easier to use than religion.
>>220039021Religion is low iq monkey bullshit and it always will be. You got groomed sorry bro
>>220038744It's a pedophile secret handshake right? This movie is so ridiculously mid.
>>220037565I enjoyed it when I originally say, but I don't think the CGI has held up well. So much of it being shot on digital sets makes it all feel very fake.
>>220037439Good movie. The rest of the final race after the spearhook is fucking top tier kino. Literally Trump at the end his first term leading to the start of his second.
>>220039474? There was a 4 year gap in between his terms you moron
>>220038832You have to be over 18 to post here.
>>220038854>It really opened up my eyes that religion is a matter of faith and dogma, period, not any belief in some higher being.Yep. You place faith IN a thing, which isn't necessarily some bearded alien "father" in the sky. Believing in aliens also has parallels to religion; it is a desperate want or need for something to observe and judge us for our actions. Validation. No different from seeking approval from a parent or a wiser peer.
>>220039564No shit? And here I thought his second term was only four months from his first. I know your TDS brain doesn't want to think Trump winning the 2024 election after getting cheated in the 2020 election is a simile to Speed making his comeback in the final race. But it is, and it's not hard to see.
>>220039926>accusing people of TDS while still touting nonsense about the 2020 electionDude take the Israeli cock out of your mouth it's over
>>220039926Here we go again with the cheating.>It's cheating when their side wins and fair when my side wins rules or me not for thee
>>220037439>awesome colors >its about cars >has monkePerfect. It's literally that simple.
>>220039969You'd rather have stinky brown Iranian cock in your mouth instead? It's one or the other buddy. There is no cockless option either.
lots of sinister stuff in this movie
>>220038806City Hunter is the only movie I watched again immediately after the first time I watched it. I also watched the Street Fighter 2 sequence again for a 3rd time, after watching the whole movie twice.
>>220040009>muh iranWhat are you a fucking boomer? Lmao
>>220040103It's been 47 years of Iranians having foul diarrhea in the region anon
>>220040125>in the regionI don't give a shit about the middle east, I care about israel ruining my country. Soon all goyim will rise up against you
>>220037439its always been great since i saw it in 2008
>>220038806ikr the only "good" live anime adapt. only one i ever watched too
>>2200401871. Jews didn't ruin your country. Retarded white people did. Ashkenazim are white Jews, and their Liberal mistakes aren't unique to them. The self hating Jew is not any different from the white person suffering from white guilt syndrome. It's mostly white people who shame you for being anti-immigration. Not Jews. Jews are actually quite sparse. Conservative Jews are silenced by Liberal Jews the same way whites are silenced by other whites. Jews are simply more potent pound for pound, despite their fewer number, and their political suggestions have immense consequences. The useful idiot crowd who thinks worrying about demographics is racist are more annoying than the misguided few (rich white politicians and Jews mostly) who pull the strings. Stupidity is worse than sinisterism. 2. Israel is a bastion of the Western ideal. Get rid of it and Muslims will become emboldened and continue invading the West.3. The golem made by the Jew here would be the Muslims, not white people. The Muslim golem will massacre both white people and Jews. This is the true irony. White people and Jews will both support Muslims just to own the other. Not realizing Muslims want to kill both.Muslims are the enemy of civilization. Even China knows this. Why do you think they're rounding up Muslims into camps?
>>220040336No worries I hate white people too
>>220040336It blows my mind how Jews are stupid enough to claim rising levels of antisemitism are due to white people and not the brown people they bring over.American Jews make fun of European Jews all the time for this. "What fucking boulder are you all living under, over there?".
>>220037439I'm guessing someone prominent discovered it and made a video about it but it was always fantastic
>>220037948Ahem
>>220038832True
>>220040009Iran doesn't run America unlike Israel does. Dumb fuck.
>>220037439because contrarians will say anything that flopped when it came out is actually secretly good, and zoomers wont watch anything from before 30 years ago. So shit like speed racer becomes popular online
If you don't like the anime you won't like the movie, simple as
>>220037948you take that shit back
>>220041913It flopped because it was a kid's movie that got tanked by critics for being pro-white family. Parents didn't care about speed racer and at the time they didnt care about the internet either. It was only ever going to have a chance if the critics praised it
>>220041942Only boomers liked the anime. It was grade A japslop.
>>220041993You're just lame, Speed Racer rocks
>>220041969Its live action anime, so its already a terrible idea. Its got some of the dumbest looking cgi in a mainstream movie ever that looks more like F-Zero games then the actual show its based on. I dont understand the appeal
>>220042013Ok boomer.
>>220037439I've been saying it since I saw it 10ish years ago
>>220042062F-zero games are awesome though?
Speed Racers off on a new adventure and Racer X is on the way. Go Speed Racer winners take the future and evil forces are at play. Go Speed Go let that Mach 5 thunder roll
>>220042175yeah, as a game. I wouldnt watch a fucking live action movie of it. Grow up and watch better movies
HE'S GOING OVER THAT CLIFF
>>220042159Is this supposed to look good? just a bunch of slop
>>220037439>tfw missed seeing in the theatersit’s okay though, they re-sceen high spectacle movies every few months.
>>220042243I'm going to be a manchild and there's nothing you can do about it
>>220042473it do be like that. the whole pseudointellectual, midwit thinking a live action cartoon is the height of filmmaking thing has gotten really old.
>>220042655Being too pretentious to enjoy a surface-level movie is midwit albeit
>>220037492The only kino moment is the reboot scene. Other than that it's garbage.
>>220042711theres thousands and thousands of surface level movies. speed racer doesnt stand out or matter
>>220041942I hated the anime and loved the movie, oh. It took every theme that was supposed to be serviced by the anime and presented them flawlessly.
>>220042808It does because it's visually stunning. I want the surface to look nice on my surface-level movies
>>220042844there is no theme. the anime is just about a kid who does car races and has adventures. only really noteworthy because it was basically the first anime shown in the US
>>220042947Anon racer x is in the anime/manga and is the same character as in the movie, except executed better.
>>220042942>visually stunningthe racing scenes look like a screensaver from 20 years ago. I dont understand how you think that qualifies as stunning. trying to look really fake on purpose is the opposite of stunning
>>220039474The fuck? Lmao
>>220043008a character from the anime is in the movie? wow, thats a theme somehow!
>>220043072>except executed betterya know words mean things, right?
>>220037439It’s always been kino.
>>220043104why do you keep answering questions that nobody is asking? The movie is good because it has car races (thats how fucking dumb you sound)
Why hasn't F1 or some other racing brand made the T-180 4 wheel steering car (the car speed uses in the final race) in real life? Think off the irl racing kino we could have.
>>220042419Mario Kart footage looks more competent than this. Why does that car just randomly fucking spin
>>220043905I wouldn't be surprised if Speed Racer was a big influence on Mario Kart even existing
>>220038806Blue Blaze (Aoi Honoo 2014) really gets at the heart of Otaku culture. By the Gintama director (Gintama 2 has hilarious spoof of Evangelion)
>>220043905Because it's sick as fuck you flaming faggot.
>>220037948>womanuhhhh
I just watched this movie to find out what all the hubub was about and it is certifiably pure kino.Albeit it is a little headache inducing with how fast paced it gets but I was surprised by how good the acting and tender moments were. I expected the acting to be totally corny and maybe that was why irony poisoned zoomzooms loved it but no. It's just a fun Saturday morning cartoon made into a movie. Genuinely dont understand the hate mob over it. I suppose the stylized look is love-or-hate it. Filters retards like >>220042423
why cars though? why not motorboats?
>it's an everyone shits on Sparky for no reason episode
>>220037439GET THAT WEAK SHIT OFF MY TRACK
>>220044380never realized how much the city is just LA
>>220043369I was tickled when I saw this movie as a kid and realized they used one half of the saitek x52 I had as the shifter for the mach 6
>>220045052
>*chook chook chook"
>>220045141*blocks your path**slaps trixie on the ass* what do you do in this situation?
>>220037439>watch it in the theater when it came out>this sceneI was like damn Speed, okay fuck em uphttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kJC-OA_6B4
>>220037562CGI vomit?
>>220037562Why is he white?
>>220037749In a bad way, yes
They even threw in Speed spinning out of control and going "Oooaoooaohhh OOOAAAOOOAAHH" The Wachowskis were clearly fans
>>220045600the creator of the original anime specifically made the characters white because he wanted to market to the american audience (america used to have a majority white population a long time ago)
>>220043905This
Zoomers can't appreciate Speed Racer and just see the anime as a meme. The movie is great
>>220045900Zoomers are the ones reviving interest in this film thoughever.
>>220043905>why is this fantasy movie based on a cartoon making the cars do cool flips instead of looking real and serious?
>>220045753He looks white here and the guy in the movie actully looks aaaallloooot like this, but somehow in real life he gets a Hispanic vibe
>>220045949Im not gonna lie ever since today when I actually watched the movie I always assumed speed racer was played by jack black who I don't like so I boycotted the movie
>>220046002up until today* sorry im retarded
>>220046002Thank you for sharing. That is what 4chan is all about
>>220037439I saw this when it was in theaters and I have always thought it was an exceptional flick
>>220045900The anime is 100%/a meme, it’s below hana Barbara tierhttps://youtu.be/PVV2nLyk-pI?si=ssqz9kuPZFiStCI9
>>220046450Serious questions, why are they both wearing heels as men driving cars?
>>220038711I love the the live action Flintstones even the god awful prequel with bobby b and the retarded baldwin brother
>>220046504They're wearing like men suits shoes, it's just a style thing. Guys wore and still wear heels all the time when they wear suits
It's certainly the best one of this late 2000s trio
>>220046740>my white gray vomit bucket of cgi is better than your gold teal vomit or your blue teal vomit.Sure, whatever, great.
I'll give credit to the Astro Boy film in one thing. The animation isn't bad. Certainly no Pixar or DreamWorks, but it isn't bad
what happened to her?
>>220047164Sadly, human beings experience the passage of time via the aging process, our cells become copies of copies of copies, and our appearance degrades until we graciously expire
>>220043145The movie is good because it takes everything the manga/anime established and executed it to the fullest possible extent
>>220037454/thread
>>220037439I watched this in theatres and again somewhat recently and thought it was shit both times. It's cheesy Spykids tier garbage. People get nostalgic over the stupidest shit.
>>220037439Not me. I fucking hated it when it came out and that was when I was actually in the target demographic. Gave me the same vibes as that Spy Kids horseshit.The game adaption on the Wii, though, that was actually pretty damn good.
some of the scenes in this movie have no right looking as cool as they do
The gun choices for the thugs are pretty fun, one has a Grease Gun and one has a PPSH
>>220037439The only change they made from the anime to the movie that bothered me is that when a car crashes a bubble forms around they driver so they can safely bounce out of the wreck, where as in the cartoon people just straight fucking died in a fiery explosion
>>220037439They're copying me.>>220045753Still do. Have fun with the jihad.
>>220045941proof?
I wish they used the original music more I stand of just kind of slipping notes in every now and then
>>220037948There's so many things wrong on your post that I don't know where to begin with
>>220045941zoomies hardly have the attention span to watch an episode of a TV show, much less a whole movie
>>220037492The use of color definitely caused some backlash, but it definitely had its fans
>>220037439It came out at the same time as Iron Man and in the better timeline, it changed the course of big budget movies in its direction instead of 20 years of marvel slop.
there's a surprising amount of gorgeous female side characters in this movie
>>220051220Imagine smashing prime christina ricci in the mach 5. Someday if I live long enough to get star trek style holodecks this will be my first priority program to create
>>220037562Why the fuck is this making me choke up
>>220044380>>220044998
>>220051948>Young White male that has a very specific skill set succeeds against a world rigged by massive (((powers))) that manipulate everythingBecause it's the ultimate fantasy. there's a bittersweet feeling to watching the final scene
>>220052651
I'm not into anime so I probably would never like any version of these characters and this story.I'm down for the color palette.But the texture of the visuals is wrong. If it were simplified more like a cartoon, it'd be better. If it went the other direction and was more tactile, it'd be better. As it is, it's too smooth, but in that bad-photoshop kind of way. It looks like a bad airbrush job.Speaking of photoshop, the way live action elements are layered makes each element look like moving cardboard cutouts placed within the screenthey experimented with the rules of cinema, unfortunately the rules they tested were cinema's versions of "gender is assigned at birth"
>>220052962I think that just adds to the "comic book come to life" effect. It also makes it almost completely unique in that there's never been anything filmed like it before and never since, so watching it feels incredibly novel, like my brain says "wow this is so different then how most movies look"
>>220037439>suddenlyI remember adding it to my watchlist around 2017-2018 because I kept seeing /tv/ talk about it like it was some misunderstood cult classicStill haven't actually seen it so I can't weigh in on whether that's true
>>220053101I'm still trying to figure out how to make webms that don't look like ass but fit the retarded 4mb file size limit on this site. I think I'm getting better
>>220053719
I dragged a friend along to see it my second time because I loved it so much and he hated it. He was a reddit personified yay for science type guy, I wonder how he feel about it now.
>>220054181Oh yeah and I just got out of the theatrical rerelease an hour ago, it was packed.
>>220054181redditors just follow whatever the popular opinion is. Since it was hated when released reddit hated it for years. Since it's now acceptable to like it reddit likes it now
>>220037439It was the last kino of the Wachowskis.
>>220046450It's a throwback to heels used in stirrups for horse racing, and IIRC some drag racers actually did dress in heels back when Speed Racer was conceived for that reason.
>>220050803The entire movie was made for people with ADHD in mind
>>220052651Where does the CGI end and the practical effects begin?
>>220054624Actors are real obviously, props that are interacted with are real, and some elements of the foreground background set dressing is real. Obviously when full on races start it goes almost entirely cgi. There where several full size cars made for the film that are semi functional, and several mid scale models used ala 90's star trek.
>>220054474It was their last movie credited as brothers
>>220055306In a sense, the "the Wachowski brothers" record is fine
>>220055355
>>220038806The Jackie City Hunter is actually kinda shit. It's a memorable Jackie flick but trash as an adaptation. The one from 2024 is actually one of the best anime adaptations ever.
>>220040336Truth
>>220055306I just saw it theatrically and the titles have been altered to just the wachowskis and their girl names when separate.
>>220055451I only have my pirated copy on my computer and they can't take it away from me
>>220040336the neat thing is i don't have to pick a side
>>220040336all useless, pointless labels if you zoom out far enough and see the big picture.rich side with rich, regardless of race and religion. rich chinese are more sympathetic to rich jews. rich muslims don't give a fuck about what's happening to poor muslims (for example the saudis don't care about alleged gaza genocide). you see this most clearly in metro places like LA or LV, where there are clear rich vs poor areas. within a casino resort there are separate towers and floors, and high limit rooms. the rich self-segregate away from the poor masses. if you're working class, the most you can hope to afford is a 2 night stay at circus circus or excalibur. or a 1 night stay at some shitty motel, and then walk to go gamble.at a very high level, it is the all divided by socio-economic class. all this talk about race and religion is imprecise. it's rich vs poor. there are even separate churches for poor/working class versus rich people, separate schools, and grocery stores, etc.
>>220055770>>220055770so what you're saying is... .. ALL THAT MATTERS IS POWER AND THE UNASSAILABLE MIGHT OF MONEY
Oh all the proper references to the original they make I'm particularly glad we got a chim chim and spritle in a lab coat trying to sneak past a guard moment
Both Ricci and Sarandon are crazy hot in this
The anime is better, I do a pretty good impression, too. *ahem*>AH, SPEED NO, YOU MUST NOT COMPETE IN THE RACE FOR YOU WILL SURELY LEARN THAT JANNY X IS ACTUALLY YOUR LONG LOST BROTHER, OHH!
>>220037439Because there are some “bad” movies that are actually really good or at the very least aesthetically pleasing.>Speed Racer>Tron Legacy>Waterworld>Chronicles of RiddickJust some examples.
>>220052651You can't like this and hate Spy Kids 3 at the same time
>>220053719>mfw another Anon has started making Speed Racer WEBM's
>>220059117watch me
>>220047164>Current Wikipedia picSeriously, that's the best picture that they could come up with?
>>220055521>they can't take it away from meI have a VHS copy of The Matrix. They can't take that away from me either.
>>220037439/tv/ has liked Speed Racer for a long time now, newfag.
>>220039095Insightful post
>>220037439Because it was really good and, now that the hate bandwagon has long passed, you can't maintain your position and it makes you seethe. Same with the prequels. Same with everything else.
>>220049821Only disappointing thing is how puny the movie's version of the mammoth car is
>>220037948>strange days
>>220060017Run along prequelfag, they’re not similar at all.
It does the same thing as One Piece but with more style.
>>220060913You're a nerd. Your opinion's a minority IRL.
>>220060960yet prequelfaggotry only exists on the internet. curious.
>>220059374Dude unironically how are you doing it? I'm using handbrake but I feel like the quality goes to shit on any clip that's longer then 8 seconds
>>220060457I think it's cool they added to a nob to it at all. It feels like they quickly realized there was zero chance they'd get a sequel so they crammed every reference to the anime in that they could
>>220061694Shutter Encoder.
>>220061765thanks man the quality of yours looks great
>>220061765That's such an incredible scene transition, just watched the movie again last night.
>>220061788VP9, if you end up using Shutter Encoder.
>>220061831Does 4chan support vp9 now? I thought it was only vp8 here for some reason
>>220061842Yes.
>>220037439The style of directing irritating as fuck. It's just like the Eric Bana Hulk movie where a good movie was ruined by a retarded director who thought he was being clever. The only good thing it had going for it is the Wachowski dick-sisters figured out how technicolor worked with increasing the color saturation in the mix to give more richer colors instead of "going dull" like the norm.
>>220061882Um.. Hm.Boobs.
>>220061917>The style of directing irritating as fuck.It's the main thing the movie has going for it.
>>220061948Yessir.
>>220061672>yet prequelfaggotry only exists on the internetBecause normal people just enjoy the movies and move on with their lives. They're not nerds who'd hyperfocus on something like this. They got more important things to worry about it.
>>220062438and most people didn't enjoy the movies and moved on with their lives. I'll be happy to remind you of this for the rest of time though, but otherwise I won't think about the prequels at all.
>>220037439The “fake-plot-twist into the plot twist” combo was always elite
Holy newfags batman
>>220062507>most people didn't enjoy the moviesThe box office says otherwise. Or did you forget how well these movies did in their rereleases?
>>220037562They don't make movies like this anymore. Back in 2008, this was considered garbage, but now it's extremely high quality kino.
I still cry at the end of the race.
