>it sure is a heckin' tragedy being a handsome, healthy, physically fit, intelligent, neurotypical, straight, socially-adjusted White man with a middle-class income in a prosperous Western society

and if you swap out neurotypical and middle-class, you can include Patrick Bateman from American Psycho in this.
And if you swap America for '60s Italy you have Antonioni's entire filmography. Ennui is such a boring theme to build your movie around.
>'60s Italy
I don't watch old movies or foreign movies
They're movies for white people. You're not going to understand. Especially when you ignore things like
>the main character's existence was completely meaningless in fight club
>the main character was about to be fired because of the incompetence of his seven managers and the people above them in office space
>the main character in american beauty lost his job because the owner of the company let his mistress use the company credit card and he can't admit it to anyone
>the main character in the matrix knew the world he was trapped in wasn't real
and to throw a bone
>the main character in american psycho was struggling with the fact he had earned nothing he had and had no skills or agency
>the main character in american psycho was struggling with the fact he had earned nothing he had and had no skills or agency
That's not in the story at all, what are you talking about?
>he missed the part where bateman was a pure nepotism hire with no actual job
he wasn't struggling with that
Its literally the core of his entire character. No agency, no identity, no control over anything.
this is just your headcanon, there is literally nothing actually in the movie to support this
maybe you should read the book or something.
>discussion about a film
>losses argument
>dude, just read the book or something
classic
The book and the film are the same story, the book gives you some more details. But hey, you don't really understand anything beyond 2D surface level.
Even humoring your moronic premise, that's a failure of the movie, not the audience.
No, this is all you. For instance, what motivates bateman's psychotic beauty regimen?
vanity, and keeping a youthful appearance.
So... you're saying its the only thing in his life he has any capacity to be proud of?
>this is just your headcanon
ah, I see you're a man of "alternative facts".
Once you get in your mind that Lumburgh fricked her, then Lumburgh fricked her. It doesn't matter than he didn't; the damage is done.
>main character was about to be fired because of the incompetence of his seven managers and the people above them in office space
No he wasn't. The Bobs were impressed with his answers and wanted to promote him. Why do you lie so much?
>The Bobs were impressed with his answers
after he was hypnotized to stop caring you fricking moron
Seems like you don't understand the movies either lol
>uncapitalized "White"
yeah...lol, gave yourself away
>capitalizing white
Cringe. You're as bad as the nogs. Lmfao
>nogs
>lmoa
>rolf
You sound panicked. Say "Black person" or frick off.
>be white
>care about punctation
lmoa
we told you to care about it because we knew it would make you think you're closer to white people rolf
>I'm a moron with no proper grammatical skills
>this means I win
Lmao. Real life Wimp-Lo here.
thanks for learning my language. let me know your native language, i'll learn it to go on your websites to shittalk you
lmao no i won't and no one ever will
Are you British? If not, it's not "your" language you moronic Amerimutt.
>frogposter thinking his opinion matters
lol lmao
anon, if poland had beaten the brits to colonizing north america, you'd be speaking polish, and it would be my native language.
Ew gross. You're not even white. Don't respond to me again you filthy gypsy.
>ifs and buts
No one cares about your irrelevant shithole, Blasycovski
That's some stellar ESL reading comprehension there.
The point you missed is whoever colonized north america first would've defined the language you'd need to learn as a second. Poland being brought up as its the most absurd of the possible countries.
You still didn't say it. That's all the proof anyone needs as to your identity.
When you put your laughing we know you’re really mad!
The Faustian spirit. You wouldn't understand.
Is that some kind of alt-right "totally not Nazi German" larp?
No, it's a simple literary reference to filter plebs like yourself.
Also, the pursuit of something beyond what it possible. It's the kernel of greatness which lies within anyone who seeks something more.
>we wuz Aryans n shiet
>that's why this loser protagonist is #LiterallyMe
stupid
aww, did someone give up at life and have the need to project that onto others
read a book moron
>implying someone is uncultured just because they didn't read the Wikipedia page for Goethe
They truly didn't know how good they had it
No WFH, no smartphone to dick around on all day. Peter probably only had very limited internet access at the office as well. That would get miserable fast.
I worked at an office of this sort in 2003, and they literally didn't allow internet on the terminals. That was the last time I was at a place like that.
He lives in an apt complex that's lower class #1.
Don't anyone else's issues bc urs life sucks. Falls under "Don't covet thy neighbors ox" and it is meaningful and profound if u aren't a huge part of society's problems today. Ope is fake or a low character moron.
These threads are bad bait because of
and because Peter was clearly not making all that much.
Speak better English.
Stop skipping ESL class
the best part about this is that their salary could cover their lifestyle. dude was fricking Jennifer Anniston and still miserable
Peter lived in a shitty, generic one bedroom apartment, anon. What 'lifestyle' was his salary covering exactly?
He was fricking Jennifer Aniston. In the 90s. Black person
jennifer aniston got famous because women could easily relate to her, because she wasn't very attractive.
She's like 60 now and still looks great. Greek genes I think
she looks pretty much the same as she did, except older, which is still not very attractive.
you don't really "hit the wall" if you weren't much to begin with.
Yep and that's the secret to looking good as you get old. Instead of, say, getting bogged.
Every 3rd girl looked like Jennifer Anniston in the 90s
Yeah but Lumburgh fricked her
'white people problem' movies always make me laugh
Discussion on Cinemaphile will always be oriented toward white males living in the United States. Deal with it.
>United States
>white
Lol. Lmao
>le superior in every way
>whines about the most trivial things like working in an office
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Seething non-argument.
>t. seething mutt
>brown hands typed this
>t. Pablo Gonzales Smith the third
>'white people problem'
Like controlling the world and being superior in every way, but somehow getting relentlessly butthurt because some colored person on Twitter implied you don't season/spice your food?
>Like controlling the world
that's china
Based. Look at the lil Timmys seething in the replies
I feel sorry for black guys that browse here. You’re the true outcasts.
That's definitely an Indian "man" attempting to use TikTok Black person lingo
>neurotypical
>socially-adjusted
Yeah man! Those characters definitely are well adjusted, totally normal dudes, or maybe you think they come off as neurotypical and socially well adjusted because they act like you?
>Office Space: had friends and gf
>American Beauty: had wife and daughter and decent management job
>Fight Club: was a consumer normie before the insomnia
Fine. The Matrix is the only outlier, since I suppose Neo was a bit of a loner/weirdo.
better than Neo's
In Office Space he only got a gf once he got hypnotized and stopped giving a shit about work.
>In Office Space he only got a gf once he got hypnotized
Are you moronic? He had a girlfriend in the beginning of the movie. She was what led him to get the hypnosis.
Yeah but she was a b***h and Peter clearly wasn’t into her.
>I was clearly wrong in my assertion
>but it...uh...doesn't matter because of this non-sequitur that's irrelevant to the discussion
Okay, I’ll rephrase: He got the girl he really liked after being hypnotized. Better?
No. It still doesn't defeat the original point: he's socially-adjusted because he has a girlfriend.
But that wasn't your original argument you moronic Americ**t.
Office Space: Is an offputting weirdo who pulled off of looks and has weird friends.
American Beauty: dogshit movie
Fight Club: Is a good looking dude whos an offputting weirdo to everyone around him.
>weird friends
They're fine. Only his neighbor was slightly weird.
>dogshit movie
Not a rebuttal.
>The Matrix is the only outlier, since I suppose Neo was a bit of a loner/weirdo.
The hacking was a metaphor for gooning to troons, hency why he thought trinity was a dude. IRS dbase refered to a famous Inter Racial Sex ftp.
I wonder how 3rd worlders feel about these movies.
They don't feel, they act on atavistic impulse like a wasp or an armadillo.
>american beauty
>straight
Office Space 2024 would just be diarrhea jeets shitting up the office until it overflows into the sun
His psychotherapist was also a hypnotherapist. Peter was clearly not neurotypical.
You don’t understand movies.
The dreed isn’t about the character it is about you.
You watched these movies when you are age 16-21, and think, frick, am I really memorizing the periodic table, and trigonometry sin and consin to sit in a two person cubicle while the guy who went to rich person highschool is my boss and tells me what to do?
>You don't understand movies.
You sounds like a gay
How dare he complain when there are OTHER people who have it SO much worse?
>He has his health
Well I guess he should just shut the frick up then
Fricking liberal bullshit.
>You sounds like a gay
You Reddit-space and type like an ESL gay, ironically or not
>Yeah but Lumburgh fricked her
Did you not finish watching the movie? No he didn't.
I'm just blind like an old man bub
>No he didn't.
Doesn't matter. Lumburgh fricked her.
