ITT Reddit: The movie
>>221866754this movie is anti-reddit because those faggots are vocally "anti-pedo" (despite their actions) and this movie humanizes a pedophile
>>221866754It was fresh in its time, kiddo.
>>221866754back when beauty standards meant flat lives matter. now you have to be some ugly thicc fattie to be "beautiful".
>>221866754The story is trite, but the acting is top tier across the board. I wonder why that Kevin Spacey guy isn't in more stuff nowadays, since he's such a great actor.
>>221866754Fuck off, this is comfykino
>>221866965Its 87% in RT while the odyssey is at 96%
>>221866754Only redditors use reddit as an adjective. It doesn't mean anything.
>>221866754Good movie, people overhate it
>>221866816claiming this is a movie about a "pedophile" is in itself incredibly reddit. people didn't consider attraction to a 17yo pedophilia in 1999. it was just a movie about the troubles of a middle-class middle-aged normie male, and the whole point was that he was a relatable everyman. falling in love with your teenage daughter's friend was something that could happen to anyone.
>>221867055>being sexually attracted to a 17 year old highschooler wasn't considered pedophilia in the 90sThis has to be the most delusional "I hate my generation" zoomer post I've seen in years
>>221866754She was hot, you all know that if you were Kevin Spacey, you’d follow through
it has fat 16 year old tits in it and youre calling it reddit. homo
>>221867094you're the zoomer here, retard. nobody called this character a pedophile until maybe 10 years ago. nobody thought mcconaughey played a pedophile in dazed and confused. being into jailbait was not the same thing as being a pedophile, and if you asked people in 1999 about a movie with a pedophile in it, they'd point to something like "happiness," not this. this was a movie about a normal average guy, that's the whole premise, "normal guy's life explodes"
>>221867094He's completely right. Even americans, puritans who can't deal with sex normally, didn't care that much.
>>221867240I dunno what kind of sick neighbourhood you lived in, man, but OK
how is this movie "reddit"?
>>221867094Seinfeld was fucking a literal high school student at the height of his fame and it just got him in a couple tabloids.
>>221866754>garbage is heckin' beautiful!>yeah buddy
>>221867055I don’t think being attracted to a 17 year old is bad, I think acting on it is bad. If you aren’t also in your late teens or super early 20s wait until she is 18 it’s not that long a wait.
>>221867446Still staying sober my dude? Sobriety rocks! Fuck yeah man
>>221866754there are only two reasons to watch this moviepossibly four reasons
>>221867321it's fucking insane how easy it is to reprogram retards like you. no, it's not about my neighborhood vs yours. it's about what the entire culture was like. they changed the rules since then and you've literally edited your own memories to believe that's what the rules always were. it's nuts.let's look at a contemporary review from the most normie, mainstream source possible: roger ebert. ctrl+f "pedo", zero hits. what does he write instead?>Everything changes for Lester the night he is dragged along by his wife to see their daughter perform as a cheerleader. There on the floor, engrossed in a sub-Fosse pompon routine, he sees his angel: Angela (Mena Suvari), his daughter’s high-school classmate. Is it wrong for a man in his 40s to lust after a teenage girl? Any honest man understands what a complicated question this is. Wrong morally, certainly, and legally. But as every woman knows, men are born with wiring that goes directly from their eyes to their genitals, bypassing the higher centers of thought. They can disapprove of their thoughts, but they cannot stop themselves from having them.>“American Beauty” is not about a Lolita relationship, anyway. It’s about yearning after youth, respect, power and, of course, beauty. The moment a man stops dreaming is the moment he petrifies inside and starts writing snarfy letters disapproving of paragraphs like the one above. Lester’s thoughts about Angela are impure, but not perverted; he wants to do what men are programmed to do, with the most beautiful woman he has ever seen.do you really think "doing what men are programmed to do, with a beautiful woman" is a description of pedophilia? this is how people saw the relationship in the movie: as somewhat scandalous, but wholly natural.
>>221866754>pedo wants to fuck a child>starring Kevin "age on the clock they're ready for the cock" SpaceyIn hindsight it really was obvious he was a nonce.
>>221867645>you've literally edited your own memories to believe that's what the rules always wereThat is true for a lot of things.
>>221867645> ctrl+f "pedo", zero hits>Any honest man understands what a complicated question this is. Wrong morally, certainly, and legally.Do you really need Ebert to say PEDO out loud to understand what he's trying to say?
>>221868235i understand exactly what he's saying, you don't. i repeat, do you think "doing what men are programmed to do, with a beautiful woman" is a description of pedophilia? because that's his explicit characterization of what lester wants in the story. he tells you he thinks it's normal and natural, twice. he thinks lester's doing something wrong, he does not think lester is a pedophile. other moral wrongs exist.
>>221868791>do you think "doing what men are programmed to do, with a beautiful woman" is a description of pedophilia?it is to a pedophile, that's what makes it illegal. ebert is looking at it from lester's eyes.
>>221866754I bet reddit is older than you, you wetback zoomer.
>>221867094Keira Knightley did a topless scene in 2001 movie The Hole when she was only 15 and boomers didnt care. Boomers were weird pdf files.
>>221868886no he isn't. also, here's what he has to say about "lester's eyes":>Lester’s thoughts about Angela are impure, but not pervertedhe tells you explicitly lester is not a pervert. this is "not a lolita relationship." he is not a pedophile. he tells you like four times in the space of two paragraphs that lester is a normal man. quit projecting your 2020s feminism on the 90s and actually read what's being said.
Americans will call a 17 year old a "child" then 6 months later offer the same chid a contract to perform in the nastiest porn.
>Since its original release, The Big Lebowski has become a cult classic.[7] Ardent fans of the film call themselves "achievers".[58][59] Steve Palopoli wrote about the film's emerging cult status in July 2002.[60] He first realized that the film had a cult following when he attended a midnight screening in 2000 at the New Beverly Cinema in Los Angeles and witnessed people quoting dialogue from the film to each other.[11]:129 Soon after the article appeared, the programmer for a local midnight film series in Santa Cruz decided to screen The Big Lebowski and on the first weekend they had to turn away several hundred people. The theater held the film over for six weeks, which had never happened before.[11]:130>An annual festival, Lebowski Fest, began in Louisville, Kentucky, United States, in 2002 with 150 fans showing up, and has since expanded to several other cities.[61] The festival's main event each year is a night of unlimited bowling with various contests including costume, trivia, hardest- and farthest-traveled contests. Held over a weekend, events typically include a pre-fest party with bands the night before the bowling event as well as a day-long outdoor party with bands, vendor booths and games. Various celebrities from the film have attended some of the events, including Jeff Bridges who attended the Los Angeles event.[61] The British equivalent, inspired by Lebowski Fest, is known as The Dude Abides and is held in London.[62]>Dudeism, a religion devoted largely to spreading the philosophy and lifestyle of the film's main character, was founded in 2005. Also known as The Church of the Latter-Day Dude (a name parody of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints), the organization has ordained over 220,000 "Dudeist Priests" all over the world via its website.[63] This is it. This is the most reddit movie ever made.
>>221869094>he tells you explicitly lester is not a pervert.because he's looking at it from lester's point of view. he literally called lester's acts morally and legally wrong a sentence ago, which is objectively true and so was in 1999
>muh virginitylol what a fag
>>221869142Fandom is Reddit. The Big Lebowski isn't inherently Reddit the same way as something like Everything Everywhere All at Once or Crash (2004) are.
>>221869196>The Big Lebowski isn't inherently Reddit
>>221867645ayo mayne this unc fr wrote an essay about how he wants to fuck high schoolers
>>221869196>dude weed and constant quips and epic cool guy cowboy sam elliot narrator and punching nazis! it's as reddit as they come
>>221869336imagine being a high school boy and having to compete with 38-year-olds for girls your age
>>221869177>because he's looking at it from lester's point of view. no, he isn't. "lester's thoughts are not perverted" is ebert's opinion, not lester's. are you retarded?>he literally called lester's acts morally and legally wrongand also natural and not perverse, therefore not pedophilic. you can be immoral and not a pedophile. can you wrap your head around that?
>>221869363I thought they had to compete with OFsimps nowadays.
>>221866872Don't ask too many questions about Kevin Spacey, or you just might get suicided.
>>221869414>>221869414>"lester's thoughts are not perverted" is ebert's opinionbecause he's literally talking about lester's subjective POV, thanks for catching up>>221869414>and also natural and not perverse, therefore not pedophiliclol what? just because a pedophile tells you he's in genuine love with a girl that does not make it not pedophilia. it's still morally and legally wrong.
>>221869363>What actually happens when 38 year old anon tries to fuck a high school girl
>>221869414It's not pedophilia because a 17 year old is not a child. It's against USlaws I suppose, but that's it.
>>221869142>Lebowskifest>DudeismI think these retards missed the point of this near-perfect depiction of every type of boomer movie. It is truly amazing and grand to behold, pulls no punches, and reveals the true face of both boomers and genX in all their indolence, avarice, depravity, myopia, delusions, and completely irrational philosemitism (jews, not Palestinians, sorry, language is just bastardized), yet they treat it as a new religious icon.The masses are expendable. The jews are right about that much.picrel another reddit: the movie, and a bigger steaming dung heap I've never seen
>>221869652lester's thoughts are not perverted = lester's subjective POV is not perverted = 100% true>a man in his 40s lusting after a teenage girl = objectively BAD morally and legally = also 100% true
>>221869486>4 female "comedians">The token himbo non-comedian guy is still funnier
>>221869690I wasn't arguing against that.
>>221869717and they want you to forget it ever happened
>>221869556nta but what, without looking it up, do you actually think pedophile means?
>>221867404Everybody hates him now for it, same for Paul Walker. I've seen so many people be happy that Paul died because he was dating a 16 year old in his 30s at one point
>>221867475The magic 100 day barrier that makes it suddenly okay. As we all know when they turn 18 on the dot they evolve like Pokemon from child (eww gross I would NEVER find a 17 year, 10 month old attractive) to an adult (she's 18 years and 0 days old wow id cum on her tits and eat her pussy! But I wouldn't have 24 hours earlier!)
>>221869652You're right, it's not pedophilia, it's just boomer myopia and immorality on display.Boomers had children just so they could trade them and have something younger to cheat on their wives with.Boomers put women in the workforce which depressed wages to catastrophic levels and left their wives alone with men in charge of them. Not so shockingly, they became their bosses' sluts.Boomers ignored their own children to the point that some faggot stoner crying over a plastic bag blowing in the wind seemed attractive to their daughters.These boomer movies are confessions of their sins, not displays of their virtues, but boomers and their defenders revel in all manner of reprobate behavior. picrel
>>221869773whatever ebert says is morally or legally wrong in that review, for the sake of the current argument.
>>221869930>Boomers ignored their own children to the point that some faggot stoner crying over a plastic bag blowing in the wind seemed attractive to their daughters.kek that's pretty funny. Also Louis Malle was french, you really can't compare him to americans.
>>221869888>she's 18 years and 0 days old wow id cum on her tits and eat her pussyThis is the problem, jew.>But I wouldn't have 24 hours earlierThis is not the problem, jew.Fucking is for marriage. The future is ultra-fascist.
>>221867094>being sexually attracted to a 17 year old highschooler wasn't considered pedophilia in the 90sAnd still isn't today
>>221869993No. Pedophile was brought out before that review was mentioned. what is your definition of pedophile.
>>221869177It's morally wrong because she's a lot younger, he's married, it's his daughters friendIt's legally wrong because she's under the age of consentBut we can all be grown up enough to agree that she's not a literal child, she's 17, so it's not pedophilia
>>221870148we're talking about the review here so my point stands
>>221870083>And still isn't todayYes it is what are you talking about? Callmecarson would still have a career if he wasn't cancelled for sexting 17 year old (when he was 19)
>>221870208Under the age of consent is not the same as pedophiliaGlad we cleared that up
>>221870233>underAge of consent isn't 18 everywhere, even in the usa.
>>221869556>because he's literally talking about lester's subjective POVhe absolutely is not. "lester's thoughts are not perverted" is not a statement made from lester's subjective pov. it's ebert's actual assessment of lester, made from ebert's pov as a critic. so is, by the way, his description of the girl as a "beautiful woman.">lol what?pedophilia is a sexual targeting disorder, a perversion. when ebert tells you he does not consider lester's fantasies perverse, he is also telling you he does not consider them pedophilic, because pedophilia is a form of perversion. this is simply factual: ebert does not consider lester a pedophile, and neither did the rest of society in 1999. the extension of the term pedophile to people like lester, ie sexually healthy regular men, is a feminist project that only really took root over the last decade or so. ebert's comments about lester's desires being wrong morally has nothing to do with this project, and with the sexual disorder of pedophilia.

>>221869299>>221869352Identifying with the dude is Reddit. Laughing at the expense of the dude isn't Reddit. What about this do you not understand?
>>221867446the dude was also clearly autistic, or slightly mental, because of his parents. I think you might need to rewatch the movie, it's a very fine detail that most viewers tend to miss.
>>221870317ExactlyPedophilia is an attraction to prepubescent children, not attraction to young women who happen to be under the legal age of consent in whatever territory you're currently stood inSure there's a grey area, but in the movie the girl is well outside it
in 1999 people didn't even consider roman polanski a pedophile, and he admitted to fucking a 13yo girl up the ass
>>221869352>and punching nazis!they're nihilists retard, not nazis. If you wanna seethe like a fag at least get your shit straight.
>>221870456what??
>>221869811>Everybody hates him now for itit's because of this and his refusal to recognize Palestine lmao.
>>221869299the dude has way too much charisma and women to be reddit

>>221866754why did this movies get me weewee hard
>>221869032Thanks.
>>221869032Oh wow I never knew that. Insane how a bunch of adults telling kids to get naked in front of them is legal because it's "art".
>>221869930>>221867094>YOU'RE A ZOOMER AND YOU'RE A PEDO!>W-WAIT, ACTUALLY YOU'RE A BOOMER AND YOU'RE A PEDO!!>J-J-JUST STOP LUSTING AFTER YOUNG GIRLS OK?! HOW CAN I FUCK THEM OTHERWISE?!?!!Spoiler:you won't, and this does not depend on whether boomers are going fishing for them or not. You could be alone on an island with 100 stacies and beckies in their early 20s and you would not see a single crumb of pussy even after a century.You being an unattractive loser is intrinsic of you, the competition just makes it more apparent. You would be one even if you were the last man on Earth.
>>221870334>"lester's thoughts are not perverted" is not a statement made from lester's subjective povit is. that's why he said "lester's thoughts are not perverted", not "lester's is objectively not a pervert"
>>221870644You zoomies are so hopelessly repressed. Stop radiating ick. That's the best advice you will ever hear.
>>221870700You lost, you can stop trolling now

>>221870680Who the fuck ever said I wanted to fuck. jew? I hate myself, I hate biology, I hate this world, I hate existence, and I hate you, jewjeet.I'm a volcel, but you will never be a woman, coprophagist.
>>221870891I accept your concession, you can resort to coping now
>>221870680>>221870952Forgot to add: your first tag is me, second tag is someone else.Stop thinking you know exactly which IDless user posted which posts, retard. This isn't /pol/.
rewatched it after the whole epstein shit, and seeing Kevin Spacey play the unshakeable straight guy while the Nazi guy is a closeted faggot was hilarious
>>221870996>>221870952>>221870891>>221870776>>221870700all me btw
>>221870700a statement made from lester's pov would be "lester doesn't think his thoughts are perverse." that's not what ebert's saying. ebert's saying that he, ebert, does not find lester's desire for the girl perverse. it therefore follows he does not find it pedophilic.
>>221870776Do you have children? Let them get naked in front of a bunch of HOLLYWOOD JEW PEDOPHILES (did you forget that they're all Jew pedos fucking retard) and be okay with it faggot cuck. Kill yourself worthless dip shit faggot.
>>221871033You don't even use the same color settings I use.
>>221866754reddit derangement syndrome
>>221867055The movie is about a man going through a mid-life crisis, and his daughter's friend personifies everything he supposedly 'lost' after his young and wild and happier nostalgic teenage years. It's sort of retelling Lolita in a way, except the dude has an epiphany where he realizes what he's about to do is wrong and DOESN'T fuck the girl at the end. I almost tear up when he wraps the blanket around her.And the problem I see here in this thread, and pretty much everywhere else right now, is the word 'pedophile' used to have a very specific dictionary meaning. And I'm not even doing the pedo vs hebes argument. It gets thrown around so much that it has lost its impact. This same crowd will call Leonardo DiCaprio a pedophile, even though the women he dates are quite legally able to give consent. Is every bloated 50-year-old who has a thought about sinking his boner into a 22-year-old a fucking pedophile? A woman in her 20s is not 12, and a 17-year-old isn't four foot five, flat, and hairless. Shut the fuck up already.
>>221870586i mean "people" as in public opinion, which ended up enormously on his side, and that's why he was able to continue making expensive movies with hollywood stars in them for decades after the scandal.>>221870493see above.
>>221870360>I'm not gay I just love watching gay porn ironically!
>>221871037>but MUH kids shouldn't be naked in a movieso just don't do it, retard? nobody's going to force your ugly-ass kids into a film. let other people make their own decisions.
>>221871197Nah, Polanski is just a jew, and typically satanic. The jews always escape justice, unless the rest of the jews decide to use one lesser jew as a sacrificial scapegoat.picunrel lol
>>221871325gay cope from a jew fetishist. public opinion was on polanski's side and isn't anymore because of a shift from a masculine to a feminine foundation of public morality. non-jew rock stars fucked and even publicly dated girls the same age as polanski's and nobody cared about that, either. polanski was also predominantly seen as a polack, not as a jew.
>>221871555>because of a shift from a masculine to a feminine foundation of public moralityIt's mostly because of Me Too, probably also thanks to Epstein and rightoids spreading their anti-elite propaganda. The infamous petition to release Polanski signed by so many actors and directors was from 2009, which is relatively recently.
>>221871037Holy zoomie mald. You are distilled ick. No wonder you are single like the rest of the men in your generation. Your women don't like this insecurity, grow up.
>>221871271you're an unironic faggot
>>221871555>gay copeThat's literally every male jew's entire life, jewjeetbro.We (nationalists) hate people like Ted Nugent. We will all enjoy watching that miscegenating pedophile burn in hell, shlomo.You can't even bench half your weight btw.

>>221871831>>221872387why are you so mad? how hard is it to just admit that the film is reddit incarnate and you enjoy it anyway? it's not like it's even up to debate, it still has an active subreddit 28 years after it first released, it's an objective fact
>>221870961>I'm a volcellmao sure
>>221872376of course you hate the successful. that's also the source of your unending butthurt about jews. that's why you had to invent heaven and hell, so you could tell yourself the winners will be made into losers and you into a winner in some other dimension, ironically one ruled by a sorcerer jew. it's pathetic, impotent seethe.
>>221872535Hmmm...
>>221870996>Forgot to add: your first tag is me, second tag is someone else.Same as in your post, retard.But your lie is not believable because you "somehow" continued to argue a point that wasn't yours in the first place, a point that was also very, very retarded.Just take the L and stop posting for the day.
>>221872408>nooooo polanski must be drawn and quartered for his crimes against feminism!- guy who wants you to think he's "right wing"
>>221866754>broken man lusts after underage girlPretty sure this is the 4channest (post 2016) movie of all time actually
>>221872691boy oh boy I wonder from who such an unbiased point of view could come from
>>221869811Yes, NOW. Before it wasn’t even mentioned by anyone beside Howard stern, and he was straight up taking her to galas and shit. In the 70s two 17 year olds sucked popsicles on network television. The joke was that it was like they were sucking cock, get it?I’m not saying it’s right, it was just the truth.
>>221867055>falling in love with your teenage daughter's friend was something that could happen to anyone???
>>221872847oh wow I wonder WHY such a SFW, textless image would be deleted!gee oh gee I hope there's nobody here trying to manipulate the public image of the ethnic group he belongs to!
>>221872918what do you not understand? healthy men are attracted to women past puberty. your teenage daughter's friend is a woman past puberty. it might therefore happen to any normal man that he could fall for his teenage daughter's friend. shakespeare's juliet was 13 btw.
>>221872847you, retard. the idea that jews win everything, control everything and you are forever their powerless victim is your worldview. to me, jews are just some guys that like money. so what? i like money.
>>221873280falling in love with and considering attractive are two very different things and juliet's age gap was not 30 yearsas a matter of fact why are you now adjusting down to 13yos unsolicited
>>221873366>you, retardI see! Then you do not actually think jews are successful, do you? But why would that be???
>>221866754Great flick. I wished the main character would have a better ending though
>>221872658You're wrong on the internet, anon. Stop making a big deal about it.
>>221872693That doesn't contradict anything I wrote and I've been familiar with this site since back when it was only /b and "feels good man" was a thing.
>>221866754You’ve got the Redditors seething at the truth. This is a Reddit movie
>>221873916Do you want to see the most beautiful thing I've ever posted?
>>221867404I know you guys have made this 30 year old relationship the whole of your personality, but Jerry didn't start dating her until after she turned 18 and graduated from high school.
This is noted drug addict, confirmed-cum eater and cuckold, and child abuser Nick Rekieta's favorite movie.
>>221866754probably the only movie ever made where every single character with more than 15 words of dialoge is despicable
