This is another one of those cases where you decide to watch a movie that gets posted alot on here and is critically acclaimed only for it to be a boring oscar bait slop
>>220273836you'll get it when you grow up. now go finish your homework.
>>220273836Slop is an overused term grandma. Come up with something new already.
>>220273836
>>220273836Yeah, PTA is shit. Watch Lawrence of Arabia if you want a real epic.
>>220273979>you're young>>220273999you're old!Not op but I saw this when it came out, shortly after No Country for Old Men which it was supposed to be as good as, and man what a disappointment. Can you actually explain what is so good about it?
>>220274180Incredible performances, well paced, great script. God tier cinematography and music. Hits the mark on every aspect of filmmaking. Engaging plot, prescient message about capitalism, greed, religion, ego, and how the shaped America
>>220273836shut up
>>220274436I remember it being well made and shot but the story just did zilch for me. The message is that he's an asshole only focused on money and ends up alone and miserable? meh
>>220273836>i'm acting! manOf course it's slop
>>220273836>I drink your milkshake! I drink your milkshake!yeah, just like Shawshank Redemption it's over-rated as fuck
>>220274755>>220275749>>220276439Tarantino fans
>>220274755thats not the message, thats what happens
>>220273836Most DDL/PTA mentions I've seen on here have been negative
>>220273836Kinda, it's not bad but certainly overrated, actually saw ot twice and still it's just good nothing great
>>220277887Phantom Thread is there best movie and I bet you havent seen it
>>220273836Do you really need attention this badly? Sure, man.
>>220273836the fact that you frame this well-known and thoroughly mainstream movie in these terms just shows what a sheltered, cloistered, know-nothing terminally online internet faggot you are
>>220277940I came in here to tell OP to watch Phantom Thread lol
>>220273836Many such cases. This one's a particularly egregious example of an overrated stinker, though. Watch the manchildren come out and call you all sorts of unimaginative names for not praising it.
The only people who dont like this movie are retard christcucks. Jesus tongued John's asshole btw.
Yes, but not There Will Be Blood. I don't care for No Country for Old Men
>>220273836wow, this dude is tall as fuck.
>>220273836How is it oscar bait?
>>220277842what's the message
>>2202738362/10 bait
>>220273836Stick to Kpop Demon Hunters
All I remember was seeing it in the theater and having to go to the bathroom and being annoyed that it was almost 3 hours long. I didn't care for the ending. In the end it's just more communist propaganda, and DDL is just one more overrated actor carrying water for the Reds.
>>220280658damn, this nigger was tortured by communist for 3 hourshe could walk away, but he stayed
>>220278303It’s not about the people who are genuinely faithfuls like Eli’s family. They are the ones being taken advantage of. Eli is a religious hypocrite and sells out his faith for the money he’s thought he’s owed.
Effeminate opinion. Maybe you should rewatch Sex and the City instead
>>220280809No reason, seen it three times, know it all by heart
>>220278667>CAPITALISM BAD>RELIGION BAD>Terrible performance by Paul Dano (Tarantino is right about him) it’s always a shame when people presume good acting is screaming and crying on cueDeeply pretentious film with stupid lines like “I drink your milkshake,” and so incredibly boring
>>220273836If I let you punch me in the face will you feel better about the movie, OP?
So like I said, I watched this as a teenager, didn't like it or particularly get any message from it, and don't intend to watch it again. So can someone just tell me what the message is?
>>220281741oil tycoons are big jerks
>>220281741About how capitalism beat religion in the shaping of America and how greed merged with faith
>>220273836How about a milkshake?
