Why is he so overrated?
he isn't
>>223947436>overratedDefine what this means to you, and describe what it is about Kubrick that you feel is overrated. Don't just say things for the sake of being contrarian.
>>223947436Because he stood up to Putin and fought a much bigger adversary.
>>223947436(You)
>>223947436The man who directed 2001: A Space Odyssey cannot be considered overrated in any meaningful way.
>>223947436You mean here? Because so many 4chan anons are emotionally crippled individuals stuck in a permanent adolescence.
>>223947436Pretentious people need to signal how smart they are.
>>223947436Because his best scenes are so much better than the complete films they’re from.

He’s fairly rated as he is but his fanboys who suck his balls and think everything he did was brilliant are annoying, insufferable cunts (same as Alan Moore)
>>223947436There are performative film fans who parrot things they’ve been told. Usually the ones praising him the most and insisting he never made a bad film haven’t even seen any of his earlier works
>>223950340
>>223947436he's underrated if anything, he was a genius
>>223951726which of his earlier films are bad?
>>223947436How anyone can enjoy watching this absolute filth is beyond me.
>>223952007Even he knew Fear and Desire wasn’t good
>>223951943He's was quite mediocre.
>>223952318shut up
>>223952318got reasons?
>>223951943agree
>>223952604The only reason you like him is his highly polished photography and generally expensive mise-en-scène. Almost everything else about his work is mediocre to bad.
Not many directors manage to maintain the high bar of excellence that Kubrick did. Off the top of my head maybe Leone and Kurosawa are on that level but all the other greats made some stinkers along the way.
>>223947436Because he's the best
>>223952913>Leone and KurosawaMore mediocrity. Why not throw in Lean for good measure.
Stanley Cuberick
Michael Jackson been real quiet since this dropped
>>223952901>You only like him because he excelled in one of the most important aspects of filmmaking
>>223947436Rage bait all you want, we've seen his movies and will remember them for rest of our lives.Your seething on the other hand will be forgotten 15 minutes after we walk away from the screen.
>>223953028Sadly, the others matter quite a bit as well.
>>223953047>we've seen his movies and will remember them for rest of our lives.Must be spacious in your head.
His modern day equivalent would be someone like Eggers, except Eggers is comfortable in his genre niche and still cooks with more powerful imagery.
>>223953118We'll have to agree to disagree. If a director can make a movie actually interesting to look at, then I'm more than willing to overlook other issues, such as script.
>>223953176>His modern day equivalentHi
>>223953202>filename
>>223953144Enough space for more than half a brain.
>>223953202You're right. He doesn't have Kubrick's creepy snark (neither does Eggers), but his movies are similarly overbudgeted and joyless (to Kubrick's); high budget exercises in futility, albeit I would grant that Kubrick at least had a little something to say, even if it wasn't interesting. Maybe Iñárritu deserves a name-drop too.
>>223953357Like Kubrick, PTA also likes adapting existing works but going his own way with the material
>>223953386Speaks of their deficits to preferably take other people's ground work and then ram their own imagery into it. If said imagery at least ended up generating a harmonious grander picture, I really wouldn't mind, but what you get is a botched adaptation and a half-assed standalone work. Why oh why do people keep falling for these frauds?
>>223953202love this nigga but he's never ventured outside period dramas and comedies
>>223952953haha!
>>223947436he doesn't have the cards
>>223947436A little bit.2001 drags in the middle>N-No that's the point! You didn't ge-It drags.The shining is a stupid movie because, it's quite literally random things just happening >I-ITS a fever dream the atmosphere actually you are suppose-It's random and stupid and makes zero sense.
