Holy frick I just watched Everything Everywhere and I literally never want to watch movies ever again
This shit is just a celebration of nihilism - nothing matters but instead of being mad about or looking for transcendence lets just be homosexuals who frick each other with our hot dog fingers
JUST F MY SHIT UP JOBU TAPAKI
the whole point of the movie was that life is given the meaning you ascribe to it, familial bonds often cultivate actual meaning no matter what jumbled situation is given.
I understand criticizing the oversentimentality & Disney adult targeting these writers did, but I don’t understand how you completely missed the meaning simpletons received easily.
Most of the youth is inherently nihilistic from living in a culture with no community, and they will destroy everything in that anger until they create bonds worth living for themselves. The boomer/genx eras destroyed many of the ways society communalized before the kids got here, it’s little surprise that their lack of connections creates dangerous frustration in the youth; the only way to fix that is fostering bonds & incentivizing your child to create stable connections.
>the whole point of the movie was that life is given the meaning you ascribe to it, familial bonds often cultivate actual meaning no matter what jumbled situation is given.
Except the daughter turned away from the mother and killer herself.
Too much focus on random dumb shit like hot dog fingers and ratatouille but with a raccoon? Just stupid
>Too much focus on random dumb shit like hot dog fingers and ratatouille but with a raccoon
So now you're just describing Cinemaphile's reaction to the movie I see
>life is given the meaning you ascribe to it
DUDE JUST MAKE SOME SHIT UP LOL HERE'S YOUR MEANING BRO
how anyone makes it out of junior high without realizing how moronic this sounds remains a bloody wonder
>NO! NO NO NO NO NO! IT WAS A BAD MOVIE! YOU AREN'T ALLOWED TO SEE ANY KIND OF POINT TO IT! IT WAS BAD! ONLY BAD! STOP IT! STOP DISAGREEEING WITH ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Calm down hasty pudding
Well what's your meaning then friend?
the point is that you either arrive at something resembling religious thought (which invariably causes seethe and butthurt in people who parrot the choose-your-own-adventure just b urself slop) or you embrace the fricking void and go full nihilist. any of this half-stepping inbetween shit is pure cope
and here's exhibit A, bringing up christianity out of nowhere like he's trying to prove my point
Bitching about the absurd futility of "choose your own meaning" but conceding that choosing religion as your own meaning is a valid is moronic. Everyone is LARPing. We've had this conundrum since fricking Nietzsche. GG
>We've had this conundrum since fricking Nietzsche.
Black person we have had this conundrum since fricking gilgamesh and your lazy knee-jerk excuse for an opinion isnt getting any more compelling. thanks for outing yourself as a midwit with the neetcheez thing, i loled
The taming of chaos isn’t the same
>the point is that you either arrive at something resembling religious thought
I don't think it's a bad thing to get there off your own back, if anything it's less likely to leave you saddled with cognitive contradiction.
when i say "religious thought" i dont mean choosing an necessarily organized religion, but a dogma that you stand by that isn't prefaced by "well thats for each of us to decide, but..."
what if the response to "conan, what is best in life?" sounded like "haha life is all about what you make it, but for me personally it's to crush your enemies [etc.]"? he'd sound like a b***h thats what
Basing and discarding whole ideas and reasonings on manners of speech is absolutely childish behaviour…
In fact I would say it is nothing more than an aesthetic choice at that point, one which remains meaningless at its core.
>meaning is what you make it
>also aesthetics is meaningless at its core
you played yourself
I don’t think you are capable of actually following the train of thought.
you casually stated that aesthetics (an entire branch of philosophy dealing with beauty, a thing frequently cited as something that people derive meaning from) is "meaningless at its core"
how am i supposed to take you seriously when youre having a very obvious "fuk u mom and dad" teenbrain moment
>or you embrace the fricking void and go full nihilist. any of this half-stepping inbetween shit is pure cope
Both of those are midwit takes on life. Life can have meaning, even a spiritual component...coupled with all religions being fake
>any of this half-stepping inbetween shit is pure cope
By your own logic, everything is cope
You become religious/spiritual to cope with purpose or go nihilist to cope with purpose, all of it is cope
Congrats you've entered 9th grade philosophy, are you going to start thinking now?
either one or the other of the two extremes must be true (meaning/purpose is a real thing or it isn't)
the inbetween memes are a byproduct of people coping with their inability to shit or get off the pot
do i need to make it clearer?
>either one or the other of the two extremes must be true
Correct
>(meaning/purpose is a real thing or it isn't)
Incorrect
>the inbetween memes are a byproduct of people coping with their inability to shit or get off the pot
Incorrect, but even if it was, both of the two extremes are cope anyway
Wanting extremes to be true is a mark of a teenaged mind. To young minds, extremes are simple and appealing, nuance feels like compromise, and calling bullshit and rejecting entire schools of thought over said bullshit is pure catharsis.
>he said, while rejecting the overwhelming majority of schools thought throughout human history
in our reality two plus two is four
you can equivocate by muttering "hmm i guess it's somewhere between three and five" and you won't strictly speaking be wrong, but you could also nut the frick up and say it's four and be precisely correct
there's that teenaged mind again. what schools of thought have I rejected?
>So anyway, I'm gonna LARP as a Christian crusader online to satisfy the identity crisis I'm having
Meaning is something people made up, nothing has any meaning beyond that which we give it.
meaning is a divine construct born like from minerva from the brain of jupiter
look i can blankly assert random things as truth too

This is true, which is why so many people (not just young but primarily young) are unhappy and anxious. Life to them has no meaning.
>the only way to fix that is fostering bonds & incentivizing your child to create stable connections.
You're also so right on this anon; truly the only thing to make life meaningful.
didn't the granpa molest his fattie grandaughta?
is that what u call familial bonds?
boy, u r schiz or just nut!?
theis posts where written by yellow hands, people widd slanted crooked eyes, small penises, and nerds whom hold calculators in their hands
Sounds gay.
Buddy, the movie's fricking reddit incarnate, written and directed by two söy-pogging mouthbreathers who were partially inspired by Rick and Morty when they made this bog-standard Oscarbait goyslop. Go wax poetically somewhere else.
My sister said this was good so I don't talk to her anymore
That is why I only watch Sarah Gadon kino. She never disappoints.
>take a break from Cinemaphile
>return
>gadongay is still here
Genuine mental illness.
Sounds like you took a break from your meds.
Sarah Gadon is obviously posted by many people.
This. I love Sarah Gadon
It’s incredible you haven’t killed yourself out of shame yet
autistic people are incapable of shame
>This shit is just a celebration of nihilism
Youre fricking stupid
>This shit is just a celebration of nihilism - nothing matters but instead of being mad about or looking for transcendence lets just be homosexuals who frick each other with our hot dog fingers
How did you even come to that conclusion? The whole film is a rebuke of nihilism, and that familial love gives our lives value.
>How did you even come to that conclusion? The whole film is a rebuke of nihilism, and that familial love gives our lives value.
90% of the flick is farse about shits and penises into veganas/asses
10% is about family
...uhhh..ummm. this is a family flick dude, u gottta see it, it aint trying to make it comedic at all, ownin tea shops and what nots, but instead, think of the strugggle!!
Someone post the
>This is memes, this is reddit
copypasta please
Unironically this. I just finished watching this and I spent the entire movie repeating the words "This is reddit, this is memes, this is reddit, this is memes. under my breath.
I fricking hated it. I was writhing around on the floor in front of my sofa for the last 30 minutes it was so painful.
There's just too many "Le epic" dialogues for me.
After a while when I would read a subtitle I started to picture the lines appearing in front of me as a reddit post with the reddit upvote downvote arrows next to them, and let me tell you, there were lot of upvotes.
I like how they showed auditing as the main villain. Paying taxes is a shitfest, I hate it and I won't do it. If one more of my hardearned cents goes to the collective, then i dunno wadda ido
moron. The film is about rejecting nihilism.
Scott pilgrim so le random slop for moronic capeshit fans to clap and basedface at
I was thinkin of seein it, but bein unsure on the amount of nudity it contained, I waited for a while, to stay and listen, to what people said and, now I'm even more unsure about the quality of nudity. I guess, what I really wanna know, if the thaiboys lookin very girli-girly, or do they look like they should: boys between 5-8, soft skin, big lips?
multiverse shit is an automatic nope from me because it's just an excuse for any moronic thing to happen
What are you talking about? It's just the usual promotion of corny American family values but filtered through a thick layer of movie nerd autism, a bit of weeaboo orientalism and a whole lot of lame attempts at Douglas Adams style comedy.
The whole moral of it is that you should stop dwelling on the lives you could have had if things had gone differently and just appreciate your job and your family and your friends that you have in this life. It's all super corny and bland,. thematically.
Like, where do you see nihilism in it? The movie uses the daughter it sets up as both the antagonist of the action movie part and the prodigal son of the family melodrama part to depict nihilism as petty teenage angst writ large, which she eventually sheds to make peace with her parents.
seek help my man
>it's a tv talks about movies episode
>Basic middle school philosophy movie
>Still completely goes over Cinemaphiles head
Why is everyone here moronic?
Because the site is filled with Indians
>This shit is just a celebration of nihilism
the whole point of the movie is to not succumb to nihilism
Saying "life has no point or meaning but you shouldn't be depressed/act like an butthole about it" is still nihilism. Hell, I'd say it is the lamest version of nihilism there is. "Reddit nihilism" if you will.
imagine getting filtered by eeaao
The movie is the epitome of "reddit", you can't argue otherwise.
At least Nietzsche said that if god is dead, we should create a new morality because the current one is too rooted in religious values and therefore meaningless in the abscense of god.
This shit is just "nothing matters but morality is still absolute. Be nice about it pls".
Let's say god is a fairy tale. Then yes, absolutely. Morality makes no sense without the idea of a higher being, so making up those "fairy tales" is needed to keep order and avoid nihilism.
>The movie is the epitome of "reddit", you can't argue otherwise
but i agree with that. That said, it is not pro-nihilism
>The movie is the epitome of "reddit", you can't argue otherwise.
Argument otherwise:
The antagonist of the movie is a godlike character who’s built a cult of supporters around herself and uses that to validate her assertions and beliefs, which is undone by one person acting on actual legitimate family bonds, where the members of the cult are defeated by establishing real bonds between the cultists. Which is effectively a refutation of the idea “I’ve got a million likes my opinion is superior.”
With extra “reddit spacing”
>Morality makes no sense without the idea of a higher being
hahaha what
Isn't that te most similar to NEETche's idea of nihilism?
yes, they should invent fairy tales about god and then forcing themselves to believe in them so they don't feel sad
>looking for transcendence
thats the movie plot moron
did the lesbian music when mitski kicked in the soundtrack short circuit your brain?
I cant believe this piece of shit won best movie and best actress over Tar and Cate Blanchet
>implying those shit movies dont suck ass compared to everything 20 years ago
Tar was brilliant. You are a contrarion. Lots of movies suck but there are still some good ones.
your dumbass didn't even get it
>nothing matters but instead of being mad about or looking for transcendence
"Nothing matters" IS the transcendence you absolute mongoloid. You don't seem to be very familiar with the Buddhist teachings are you?
>This shit is just a celebration of nihilism
Midwit take
>I missed the point of the film i'm complaining about and have no new criticism to add
just another Cinemaphile day
