>it's pretentious trash
If you found it pretentious then you didn't get it. Just enjoy it, the "deep meaning" is very superficial and present in literally every scene. If you read any deeper than that then you missed the entire point.
The main character is a pretentious douche, trying make pretentious trash with the unlimited money his grant has given him.
Does Kaufman have trouble with his gender identity or something? Almost all of his films have themes of men wanting to or becoming women, or vice versa.

those are definitely themes too, but i just noticed after rewatching Being John Malkovich that a lot of it dealt with wanting to be the opposite sex too
Tedious garbage honestly
Philip Seymour Hoffman died a pigs death. Bloated carcass mottled with black heroin-ravaged veins, a four-stone opium-induced nightmare of months-old faeces fermenting in his grotesquely distorted abdomen, a coprolith of unprecedented size and foulness
Why do you fricking losers have to hate on EVERYTHING? It's a really funny film that uses postmodern philosophical themes as comedic material. It's not meant to be "thought provoking" - it lacks a metanarrative on purpose because it is postmodern. It's pulp. Enjoy it and shut the frick up about "pretentious".
You don't know what a buzzword is and if you are that ignorant about philosophy then your opinion is meaningless to me. As meaningless as if you didn't know what a radio was. Don't @ me again.
Because being John Malkovich exists and that was a way better and unpretentious movie written by Kauffman. Not my fault he writes properly but directs like an butthole
Are you serious?
1. Comedic element, no one would ever move into a burning house.
2. A burning house represents danger, something that urgently needs attention.
3. Mechanism to kill off a character ironically.
No it isn't you FOOL. Not everything is fricking politics, you obsessed moron. It's about death. The characters are going through life aware of the inevitability of death of not really giving it due consideration. A woman stands in a burning house talking with the seller's agent about her long-held aspirations to buy a house, but she's a little put off by the idea of dying in the fire. The agent says: it's a big decision: how one chooses to die.". It's FUNNY. Laugh at it, don't fear it like the subhuman animal you are.
>anti-human climate change propaganda is good cinema
Nope! This is Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth but with more israeli neuroticism and postmodern deconstructionism (i.e. Marxism) added
It's a Satanic film, a subversion
>be young college kid trying to talk to film major chick >try to impress her by talking about obscure movies >she loves P. Seymore Hoffman >I say "he was great in Cine Douje New York" >she walks away
What I imagine Francis Copulation hopes Megalopolis would hope to be.
This movie ruined my life at 14
How could a movie ruin your life?
you're a homosexual
>cynic douche
I'm gonna be real pissed when I watch this movie and it's pretentious trash, aren't I?
I wanna know what that homosexual furry is going on about.

>Almost all
You mean 2 films out of 8?
Anomalisa and I think even Adaptation has a few lines in there that could be taken as that. I don't think it's just a coincidence
>that could be taken as that
Schizo
Pretentious theater kid garbage

seems like he's more worried about mortality, depression, and lack of talent
those are definitely themes too, but i just noticed after rewatching Being John Malkovich that a lot of it dealt with wanting to be the opposite sex too
Shouldn't you be looking at furaffinity or something, OP?

he lived a better life than you
Black person
Pretty good movie that needed to be an hour shorter
Barely decente movie ruined by its bullshit ending

bump
It's shit
it's kino obviously. every movie has critics, it gets attention
>buzz word, buzz word, buzz word
>don't call it pretentious
Well done bait

The closest I ever came to killing myself was after watching this movie.
Why?
Good movie, I can't get why the house that single woman was on fire.
Are you serious?
1. Comedic element, no one would ever move into a burning house.
2. A burning house represents danger, something that urgently needs attention.
3. Mechanism to kill off a character ironically.
They even openly acknowledge that the house is on fire, which I interpret as them paying no mind to the danger that they already know is present.
So it's a climate change metaphor. I will never watch this garbage

Yeah sorry, I'm just not watching it is all.
Okay, fine. You don't deserve good cinema anyway.

I am so glad I'm not you.
