>>220477049You're the captain of your soul, know what I mean?
Burt Lancaster will forever remain the undisputed master of schizo kino.
>I must stream inside every household inside this neighbourhood
>>220477049I love this movie so much. Burt is literally me cause I love a good swim.
>>220478439Executive Action is a terrific film. Watched it last year when I went on a conspiracy marathon.
>>220477049this movies message is that its foolish to have a swimming pool in the northeast, the season is just too short. People who have them have too much money and should be taxed more to build new housing projects and pay for poor peoples children.
>>220478918my favorite part of the movies is when Burt looks into the camera and says exactly what you just wrote.
>>220477049What is that expression supposed to convey?
>>220479037a primal desire to swim
he swims?
might be the greatest adventure film ever made
>>220479037>prepare your anus
"with a pool you can go anywhere you want" he said to himself, outloud
>>220477049I am a father of two and I work in a gymBut enough about The Swimmer
>>220479037Goatse
>>220479088Indiana Jones never ran into nudist geriatrics, true
The remake would be set in florida and everyone would pull guns on him. the teen, the kid, the angry lady, his ex girlfriend, the party guy
>>220480718add in some alligators you've got kino
Yes
>>220478960KEK
>>220478918Just heat it
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA IS THAT A HECKIN BEAUTIGUL PAIR OF FEET I MUST SWIIIIIIIIIIIIIM
>>220481877He really is literally me.
>>220478918Not at all. The message is that you shouldnt try to dump your mistress in the fanciest restaurant where all your socialite friends can watch her freak the fuck out. How could you miss this?
>>220479037>I AM.... LE SWIMMING
>>220480718I only read the short story but it's most interesting as an artifact of a world that no longer exists. 20th century America really was something.

>>220477822>>220481877oh my G-d are those...c-colors???someone call the ADL now!!!
love this movie. each pool is a separate vignette with ranges of different feeling but the first is probably my favorite still
lel I remember before watching this I read the description and I thought he was literally going to somehow hop from pool to pool without stepping outside of the water, that'd be fucking bizarre
>>220477049So, he swims?
>>220483373he the swims
how would you handle this situation?
>>220477049So he just swims? Is that all?
>>220483512That's my cart.
>>220483212peak natty male physique
>>220482439watch the movie bro its one of the best movies of that decade
which pool was your guys favorite? the public pool chaos wasn't it>>220483687for his age he literally has the most desirable body type possible, that includes his race
>>220477049You WILL talk about it.
>>220483148People wax on about the technicolor era but forget that the grimy 70s had some amazing color as well. Presumably streaming services and tv makers would explode if they saw this. Hit that "hi def" desaturation NOW! Give me motion smoothing STAT! Is that.... FILM GRAIN!?
>>220483763
>>220483687>no definition>belly flab
>>220478538I'm watching it now. I've watched JFK so many times and never knew about this for some reason?
>>220483248Your made up image of the movie made me laugh like a retard
>>220477049I love Burt Lancaster and I think his best films in no particular order are>The Train >Elmer Gantry>1900 (but only his scenes)>Atlantic City>Jim Thorpe-All American
I truly do not understand the meaning of this film. Seen it twice.
My favorite part was at the beginning when he goes to the loud inner city pool party and pulls out the TEC9 and screams “TEACH ME HOW TO SWIM YOU FUCKING ANIMALS!”
it's about freedom
>>220484359I thought it was about swimming. Wtf
>>220484399exactly
>>220484043he's just copinghe's grown older, his neighbors have mostly disdain for him now, he is estranged from his own family etcthe ending feels like one big slap in the face. It's pretty straightforward. The happy times are over and they are not coming back
>>220483512I'd swim.
>>220483248Same. Rather I imagined a single long pool that wound through the back yards.
>>220484043He's life is over but he wants to swim all day
he peed in all the pools, didnt he?
>>220484359>(merited) fear of the working class>With a pool you can swim anywhere you want!
>>220486794>>220483989>>220483248For some reason I imagined a setting in like the northwest, pools are lined up in a row where each house is in the same row and that he'd keep jumping into each one after getting out. But then I realized that would be dumb and then thought of like distinct pools and it being more suburban. But this movie is in like Cali and has large areas where he's just running through fields or walking. Kinda disappointing desu. But I'm sure it's a good film. Will watch at some point.
>>220486893When all I knew was that there was an old movie called The Swimmer starring Burt Lancaster I thought it was about a guy swimming the English channel.
>>220478538Seven Days In May is fantastic too. It seems like some alternate version of the script for dr Strangelove, and I think it even got sued by them for it, so it underperformed and didn’t get a lot of critical or fan acclaim when it came out, but it’s still a great movie in retrospect now that the dust has settled
>>220483212The first is your favorite because it is supposed to be. At that point, you don't know anything about why he is swimming and everyone seems to like him, plus the young girl basically flirts with him. Each pool is worse than the rest and his kooky journey becomes more evidently shallow just as any depth he has is revealed to be an act I liked this movie a lot and because of it I watched Local Hero, also with Burt Lancaster but I probably liked that one more
>>220477049is this movie an allegory for being the sperm that makes it to the egg?
>>220486893>But this movie is in like CaliYikes anon this is Connecticut erasure.
>>220487238probably more likely the sperm that gets shot deep inside an anus
