Idn about the director being a cuck but i do remember thinking this movie was indeed almost kino, just didn't quite get to that level
it exists to distract people from inherent vice actually being about something
Beware le golden fang!
I agree with the almost kino rating but for different reasons. The shaggy dog story nature of the plot is fine. Great even. The scene with the music man was turbo cringe.
>The scene with the music man was turbo cringe
>"le murdering old white competence"
This might've been the most reddit scene in film history.
contrarian opinions by le based man
music man scene was my favorite part of the whole movie. It was k-kino…
It was obviously kino.
You two are morons.
>I wrote it here, on piano. Somewhere between a blowjob and an omelet.
Fricking kino.

Yeah then the protag spergs out and craters his head open with a guitar. A literal "and then everybody clapped" reddit moment.
Because it was happening in his head and he's a moron manchild. Most of the movie is like this (specially everything related to cooming). He's an unreliable narrator.
>its all in his head
actually its all real and youre a moron
It's happening in his head (his POV, what you usually see), but also in real life more or less. As I said, unreliable narrator.
he is the dog killer and everything that happens is real. its a ray chandler toned satirical fantasy.
>he is the dog killer
Yes, maybe he even kills the Mulholland Drive guy and many more. I would like to watch the movie again, same as with Inherent Vice.
Why is that Reddit? This random old guy caused the main character to completely lose his shit. Everything after that point plays out like the memory of a schizoid
>doesn't understand the esoteric symbology of him being smashed into a puddle of mercury
lol @ ur life
He unloaded a fricking revolver on him, it was self defense, you adhd sperg.
Movies with layered, unfolding mysteries and clues are always interesting.
Yeah but this one goes absolutely nowhere. He learns that a chick he liked is a prostitute, he bangs his MILF neighbor and gets evicted. That's the story.
if you only look at it through the plot, yes. But think of the film thematically. It's a film about the entertainment industry in California, and it paints a very unflattering picture. It's full of prostitutes and homeless and drugs and clout chasers and weirdos. People are impoverished, abandoning their hometowns, taking demeaning jobs, all in the hopes of making it big. The main character thinks there's more to Hollywood than meets the eye. He thinks there's something secret and hidden. Throughout the film things get progressively more and more fricked up. And when he finds out what it is, the girl he's trying to save is like "yeah, whatever. I'm fine with it." The film is a very bold message about NPCs turning a blind eye to all the fricked up shit in Hollywood, not because they're unaware of it, they are aware, they just don't fricking care. That's a pretty based and redpilled message for a film to have.
And I also liked how it was sort of like a modern Hitchwiener thriller.
The hollywood thing is just a backdrop. Its about you the viewer and your need to project meaning into everything. We've become more interested in what the hitchwiener dolly zoom meant in that scene more than what it made us feel and it's disgusting. The director made the bird spew absolute gibberish in the end knowing that some r/movies user will twist himself into knots trying to decipher its meaning in a vain attempt to gleam some message that he can post about it later
Holy reddit
>that he can post about it later
Like you're doing now? What a pretentious sad little movie 3/10
Cool, however whatever this movie is saying is undermined by the absolute slog of a viewing experience it was.

OH!

What a slog
Okay David
Its themes ultimately coalesce into a coherent if taxit message. It also has lots of hidden clues that can be solved as puzzles which is nice, strating with the poster above.
The nature of mysteries is not necessarily being revealed
>supposed to be set in 2011
>old Twitter layout is shown on someone's phone in one scene
>but later in the movie the new Google logo (since 2015) is shown on a computer
This triggered my autism badly
I fricking hate LA bullshit
I fricking hate LA but love LA bullshit.
i have a friend out in LA and it's fun how she watches movies and can point out certain landmarks or obvious studios where they're being filmed. i can't even find my way around my town and she fricking can spot a random ass LA street by the types of trees
For me it was The Last Bookstore
After he went there the entire time I kept thinking about it and wondering who would be so fricking pretentious to call yourself that and it distracted me from the moronic plot, awful direction and idiotic writing
>dude the secrets to the universe are actually in le nintendo power
>dude this chick is naked and brushing her teeth because uhhhh its arthouse bro if you question it then u didnt get it
>dude the secrets to the universe are actually in le nintendo power
Yeah and the old playboy magazine that nobody but the protagonist has
It’s almost like the film is trying to tell you something
Yeah the film is telling me to avoid any film set in LA because it will be fricking garbage
And I’m telling you that you have low IQ if you didn’t pick up on the most surface level things the film is pointing out to you to flesh out the characters and themes
I actually brushing my teeth completely naked. Feels pretty good. What, are you suppose to undress right only right before you enter shower and cover yourself right after you finish bathing? What are you, puritan?
No but I mean she's doing it on the couch and without even any toothpaste
>dude hollywood is actually le seedy
HOW MANY FRICKING FILMS NEED TO SAY THIS
This film isn’t saying that at all. The underbelly of Hollywood in this film is mental illness
I DON'T CARE homosexual I'M SO SICK OF AMERICAN FILMS
american films are the best
no more trash from canada.
Wrong. Trying to oversimplify things in movies (it's mental illness, they were all dead etc) is usually lazy and usually a misinterpretation
This is 4 chan dude
I’m not writing an essay when it will be gone in a few hours. Simple posts see what you get. Of course I know there’s more to it lol
4cjan is for unpacking themes and being insightful. These ready-made lazy assumptions are useless
The weirdest part of any movie is how fews hispanics are in LA. In reality there are LA. But in movies it's like 40 percent black when I can go days without hearing English outside.
>filmmaker deliberately does things
>viewer attempts to find meaning
>UH BRO IT LE HAS NO LE MEANING LOL YOU ARE DUMB FOR THINKING I WOULD THINK ABOUT ANYTHING LOL
Why are americans like this?
The film is actually saying to find your own meaning and don’t sweat the rest of it whether it has meaning or not. You don’t have to unravel every code and Google every thought that comes into your brain. That’s what unhappy and distracted people do. You should just live
would have been kino if he laughed at the girl and the rich gay for being moronic
no sense upsetting her
