It should: the film asks the dystopic question?

I've seen it. It was alright.

What'd you think about the ending?

>>221294648
This but in Arthurian fantasy lore.

>>221294690
I don't remember it remotely well enough to answer that question sincerely, I've seen this, like, over 10 years ago and only remember the basics. I remember that we briefly saw the real world at the end, that it was a dystopian shithole, and I think that she chose to go back to the false world?

it was very maudlin as well; essentially pushing for reincarnation in a shitsack world. overall I think the film unintentionally self-deconstructs Existentialism and the belief that you "can be anything you want" using acting/actors/hollywood as a pretty good setting to demonstrate this.
I think the ending realizes it's own epiphany but swallows the blue pill instead of the red one (that we should become more real than deeply fake/gay).
>>
>>221294287
the advertising for it was really wishy washy and weird so I assumed it descended into arthouse pretentiousness and had no narrative cohesion
>>
>>221294287
that is so ugly. somehow worse than tranime crap.
>>
>>221295033
more Disney aesthetics than troonshit.
though the cartoonish style is meant to critique the reality they find themselves in (i.e. clowns for clownworld).
on a production side, it was probably to save money since they got a bunch of A-listers and voice work is cheaper than live action (again another meta-plot point of story's theme of cheaping the "production" of reality-as-cinema).
>>221294979
>had no narrative cohesion
I'd say the film was meta about this and acknowledge that the world it portrays leads to an incoherent nihilistic future.
I thought that it was the most profound admission of Progressivism (and this film is What if we progressed with this Existentialism to its logical conclusion).
Maybe it's unhealthy to "be whatever we want".

I should rewatch it. Thanks OP.

Pic of the director.
Yep, I'm thinking kino.
>>
Is the film kino?
>>
>>221296567
Yes.
>>
>>221296421
Unintententional kino.
The film rejects the Leftist thesis at the end: the result of no ontological hierarchy of being and what happens if everyone believes it's all just nominalistically "make believe".
I'm sure the jew director probably thought "Where does jewishness exist in this essential-less world?" and came to conclusion that jewish essentialism precedes existentialism (you are a jew first, then whatever else; except to goyim, they have no essence/soul, so they just exist as portrayed in the film (zombies without substance)).

if by kino you mean weird, ugly, jewish trash - yes

The original novel is great - scary yet sometimes funny, especially the beginning, the movie is pure unwatchable trash.

Look around you.

We're "living the dream".

What a fucking disgusting artstyle, it somehow looks even worse than CalArts crap.

>>221298993
That's the point of the film: it's a dystopia where everyone retreats from reality into a shitty shared drug hallucination where they spend the rest of their existence as shitty cartoon characters (and it's as nihilistic as it sounds).
It's effectively "Troontopia" where you can identify with whatever identity you want at the cost beat beauty, good, and truth.
>>
celebrity worship slop, the movie is about a z list actress and the whole time glazing her and sucking her toes talking about what an inspiration she is, like the whole premise is that in the future gen alphas will really care about the woman who was in the princess bride in 1987 so much that they watch deepfake versions of her

it's grim

If that's the point of the film then it's shit. Why would people willingly become hideous shitty tumblr drawings when they could become cute anime girls?
>>
>>221299373
Probably because the film critiques you as a degenerate for wanting the exact dystopia the film portrays.
You think it's a pragmatic utopia of dreams; it's a fucken faggy nightmare world you can't escape.
Your kind turned my world into that faggy nightmare world I can't escape; so now we have to talk about it before Citizen Vigilante becomes reified as non-fiction (at first they came for...)

>Noanon here's seen it.
I saw it.
It was okay, but I was just underwhelmed by it because I am a huge fan of the novel the movie was loosely based on (one of the few books that made me laugh out loud reading it, as well as actually getting mind fucked by the ending).
>>
>>221299157
But I want to identify as whatever I want.
>>
>>221294287
yep, this movie foresaw it all

i've seen it i did not know what to think of it other than it's fucking weird

I saw it and it was cool. Harvey keitel was amazing i. The scanning scene. Danny Huston is menacing in cartoon form.

It's not healthy for you or for the rest of us because you pick every form but the healthiest form with your free will.
I would prefer if you became godlike.
We could always use more saints.

It's a behavioral jab, but the ontological shock needs to happen.
The movie is a slap in the face to troons/transhumanists.
>>

>autism
it's not autism. it's schizotypal personality disorder: where you retreat into your own internal fantasy world and appear autistic to everyone in the real world.
a lot of anons confuse it here (and got it themselves).
it's behavioral solipsism.
>>
>>221300189
watch it again. the world got weirder to match.
maybe it makes more sense with all the deepfake/dead internet theory stuff we live in today.

And you'd be amazed how forgiving people are to those that sincerely desire and try to become one of these because...

If it were in my power to will it so all would be free of suffering, want and ignorance.
>>
>>221301085
and yet here we are, suffering, wanting, ignorant creatures fallen.
I would like to fly again too; but I'm stuck as a graceless human that vaguely remembers what it was like to fly. I do see a future where we fly rather than just fall all the time.

If you agree that the scenario the movie presents would be appealing if the animated characters were attractive and well drawn then the movie is shit and fails to actually deliver the message it is trying to deliver. All it manages to prove is that ugliness should be eradicated.

No.
It proves that objective beauty, truth, and goodness must exist but it's not arbitrary up to us to decide. We don't get to chop our dicks off and say it's "beautiful". We need an objective observer: God to judge.
All our judgements suck and just lead to the films nihilistic conclusion (if everyone is aesthetically "right", then we are all wrong; thus rightness/the truth is exclusive).
