Did boomers really? This laughably stupid film got like half a dozen Oscars. why do WASPY Americans fetishize unhappiness? It like they go out of there way looking for it. Especially in the 90s.

I'm middle class, and have a large house, how horrible I'm going insane
OP is a moron. Post pics of best girl
they had nothing to complain about. And convoluted works of fiction like this are the proof.
Best girl is Thora.
OP is a moron who doesn't understand basic human psychology
If I had an easy job, big house and tons of disposable income, ide be more than happy. Old people are spoiled and incapable of having real fun. They enjoy feeling sad. As strange as that may sound.
And your kids would be just as miserable as the old boomers. So congrats! Well done for perpetuating the cycle of violence.
>And your kids would be just as miserable as the old boomers
how so?
Because they’ll be boomers, duh. Unless you treat them like shit and turn them out of the house with nothing, in which case yeah they’ll probably end up like you are now, instead.
>Because they’ll be boomers,
where am I getting this time machine?
> boomers grow up with a sheltered wealthy lifestyle where everything is provided for them by their rich parents.
> your kids grow up with a sheltered wealthy lifestyle where everything is provided for them by their rich parents, but nope they’re totally different because it takes place X smoking of years later
You’re an actual idiot, sorry to have to tell you. This is really fricking easy to grasp. I’m kinda shocked.
*x amount of years
>boomers grow up with a sheltered wealthy lifestyle where everything is provided for them by their rich parents
they grew in a far more dangerous time. Vietnam, IRL cults, higher crime and later AIDS. Most boomers still think NYC is a warzone like it was in the 80s. Granted it getting there. Your also equating wealth with a suburban lifestyle. Which even in an American context is untrue. I'm from a lower middle class urban family. And even those people I know that are in upper middle class are by no means sheltered. If anything, more having more to lose makes them more aware. I'm not the one washing my car with a 9 in my waistband. Suburbs can make kids soft. But unhappy give me a break.
> DUWUH? DEEZ PEOPLE HAS TEH MUNNY, HOW CANST THEY NOT BE HAPPI? *orcish gurning* BUH BUH BUT WHEN YOUZ IS RICHITY, YOUZ IS HAPPI? SO Y DEY NOT HAPPI? DEY MUST BE CAPPIN FR FR
No irony, stop breeding.
Whenever I see a cute girl's belly button I am very sexually aroused.
Imagine oiling her up before hot, intense sex, and then cuddling under the blankets.
I er, I meant, same
I'm too autistic to find normal sexual intercourse hot. I like cuddling though.
>Hell yeah, I'm just your average, red-blooded American man. When I lust after some fricking hot chick, I'm just like any other dude - imagining her gently laying on a bed with rose petals subtly falling upon her. Hell yeah!
It’s a meme you dip
It’s ironic. You are the joke if you don’t get it
it's absurd. unexpected does not accurately explain it. As far as 90s suburban set cinema is concerned its typical. Nothing more than you would expect.
Zoomers will never understand, but I was there, and I can explain:
Back then, life was easy and money grew on trees. You had to be an absolute moron to not have all that stuff. The internet wasn't really a thing back then so people actually did things, which is why everyone had stuff.
>inb4 "I was around then too and I struggled!"
Then you were a druggie moronic Black person. Shut up.
The problem is that humanity is fundamentally garbage and God's Greatest Mistake.
See, If EVERYONE has a nice car, nice house, nice family, etc. then humans STILL find reasons to complain, divide into groups and pick on each other. I had a nice life, everything the American Beauty families had, but I was considered a LOSER because I worked at a restaurant. If everyone in the world had a Ferrari, then people with 2 Ferraris would mock the people with only one Ferrari.
Frick humans. I'm glad they are all poor and suffering. Maybe mankind can finally learn some humility.
It’s kind of a catcher in the rye type story; everyone’s phony - including and especially lil filmmaker bro
including the Hollywood gay couple?
yes, PC bullshit existed then too and their inclusion seems appears to have sardonic bait to it.
>its typical
it is parodying a kind of quirky teen tv series that still exists on Disney today. It plays and sounds like a commercial. Sunset Boullevard is an obvious influence. It's similar to Fight Club in a sense but the tone is much more sarcastic. as the tagline says; look closer.
>their inclusion seems appears to have sardonic bait to
are we just going to excuse lazy characters as being part of the plan? Your thesis does not hold up to scrutiny.
>it is parodying a kind of quirky teen tv series that still exists on Disney today
It's a work of fiction created by some butthurt costal homosexual, where middle Americans are just as depraved and unhappy as him. Simple as that.
sure whatever you want. Ii suspect too that many of the filmmakers were not intending irony; but it is there. We choose to enjoy many kitschy media for reasons they weren't intended. I've only seen the movie once and that's how it appeared to me. It's a watchable movie at least which puts it far above the average most cinema that exists
>I have a large house
Made of carboard, it doesn't count.
its looks like a prewar neighborhood. Can you not spot prewar American suburbia when you see it? What are you not American?
>We choose to enjoy many kitschy media for reasons they weren't intended
This is true. No argument there.
American film in the 90s, especially the late 90s, was dominated by the dread of the middle class which felt that the world was on borrowed time, that in the near future everyone's lives were going to get worse and never get better.
And they were right, lol. We can look back now and say "I can't believe they were so unhappy when they had it so good", but its hard to enjoy what you have when you know it's going to be taken away from you.
>its hard to enjoy what you have when you know it's going to be taken away from you.
Fricking this
Just be yourself bro
You aren't white if you don't have transcendental urges
there is nothing spiritual about most white people.
have you ever been in a cathedral? listened to Bach? read Dostoevsky? c'mon what's so spiritual about other races?
anything in current year.
soul ages like wine. you will likely scoff at anything i present you in the "current year", because actual soulful things are rarely promoted and thus often buried below heaps of souless garbage, a trend that is digitally amplified by the internet and the virtual abandonment of elite curators for tasteless algorithms. If there is any curation, it is often politically motivated to give you the naive impression that you have of soul/race in art.
My knowledge is mainly musical. The most moving 20th century art tends towards the grotesque if you can endure it.
but life affirming simplicity is often highlighted
The trend now is similar but with a desperate and often ironic technological bent.
most kino is overwhelmingly made by whites it's not even funny
Because we have soul, anon, which kino is a product of.
i would rather have nothing than have to suffer the obligations of maintaining that station in life
Zoomers are so naive they think owning shit or having money will make you instantly happy.
If you aren't a moron and know how to use it yea it will. Money is just a tool at the end of the day.
>I'm middle class, and have a large house,
Which part of this would make you happy? You're literally living the mid life. Not poor enough to complain about your situation, not rich enough to enjoy life. Shit fricking sucks.
you don't need to be rich to enjoy life. you just have to find interesting shit to do. money helps but it's mostly a personal thing
most mid's are literally in mortgage stress.
Comfort breads weakness.
My friend who lives with his parents is like this. Thinks suburbia is hell on earth. I stopped hanging out with him a while ago, I just couldn't take his spoiled attitude anymore
What is it about middle class/well off underachievers embracing communism?
It's been marketed as an opposing system to everything they don't like about current society, and they're too stupid to understand why it's a terrible idea
This movie was written by a homosexual, which is why the gay neighbors are the perfect family unit, and why a homosexual man with feelings for him ends up killing him in the end. Hell, even the main character is played by an actor who is a literal homosexual and child rapist. Why would they make a movie about being content or improving your situation when as a bunch of gays they want everyone to be miserable like they are?
>which is why the gay neighbors are the perfect family unit, and why a homosexual man with feelings for him ends up killing him in the end
both are one dimensional Hollywood stereotypes consumed by their sexuality. The only real homosexual in this film is Kevin Spacy. And he is being paid to act in it.
You know the grass is always greener is a saying for a reason right? I know miserable fricks who are wealthy and poor, I know some of the happiest most content people on earth on both sides. Happiness is a state of mind.
So it's made up then?
why make this same thread again?
to shit on leftists and old people. isn't it obvious?
being unhappy while having the means, says more about you and less about society. if your unable to enjoy it, you have no right having it as far as I'm concerned. you're sick, not society.
i always thought before i watched this is that the twist in the end is that he just kills himself. But no le latent gay trump supporter toxic masculinity war guy just kills him because of muh rejected feelings. What a crap
>Be middle-aged man
>Family is dysfunctional
>Daughter wants to kill you
>Wife doesn't respect you
>Your daily routine has become monotonous
>You fantasize about a teenage girl
>You feel awful about it
>You try to make the best of things and improve your life
>Gay neo-Nazi neighbor kills you because you remind him he's gay
Why even try? Everything is out of your control and you're just going to end up dead anyways.
OSCAR AWARDS ABOUND!
