What is it about this film?
I deeply despise this movie and it's not just to be a contrarian, but everybody else seems to love it and I can't understand why.
It's literally a pretentious Marvel movie. Actually, no it's even worse than a marvel movie because at least some capeshit have something to say. What's the message of this bullshit "be nice to your mom?"
Nothing in it is remarkable, there are better films that tackle the same subjects but it seems that it was this transformative experience for most people.
Tik Tok: The Movie
The president of the Academy is Chinese, so this film was tribute to her & the CCP. Don't think too deeply about it.
i skipped through it and every time i skipped nothing interesting was happening so i turned it off
>why would people like a pretentious Reddit Movie?
Probably because it's most 2010s movie to ever be created.
>everybody seems to love it
like who? plebbit millennials who need to make everything into post-meta-ironic-cringe-nihilist shit to fill the void in their mind and soul?
Entirety of teevee was praising it when it came out
that's not true, almost everyone was shitting on it and quoting positive reviews purely for baiting
but Im pretty sure plebbit genuinely liked it
>bro just abandon your own culture and values for the sake of kindness and empathy
>it will totally save your life bro
This was unironically more offensive than Irreversible and Salo combined. I'm genuinely curious what Asian Americans thought of this bullshit.
You mean the same Asian Americans that watched Crazy Rich Asians? I doubt it matters to them all that much but most Americanized Asians typically fall within that progressive sphere unless they're direct immigrants
It's a profoundly evil movie. Literally the entire message is that humans in the 21st century should not aspire to any greatness. They shouldn't live by their own rules or invent new values. They should just shut the frick up and pay their taxes with their lesbo genetic dead-end families. Like literally, that's what happens in the movie and that's what the message is. It's an endorsement of mediocrity and nihilism.
I saw it once and except for the exhausting nihilism/absurdism, I just remember how vainly it embraced the idea that their ancestor's traditions were somehow egregious and harmful and should be done away with. And it was all couched in this subversive nonsense about kindness and empathy. When really they're just favoring eroding actual values for nothing really at all. This sort of cultural mindset will have no legacy because it's about as strong as a straw wrapper. The absolute emptiness of this film is relentless. Diasporagays are truly boneless.
what great things are you doing with your life bro?
The movie is about the lesbian daughter inventing new rules her family might disagree with.
Super convenient how those new "rules" are the rules that every elite wants you moronic cattle to believe like homosexuality and paying taxes
Did you just discover you had to pay taxes last year or something?
>It's a profoundly evil movie.
>It's an endorsement of mediocrity and nihilism.
99% of humanity is mediocre. I don't think it's necessarily evil for an aging woman to learn to be grateful for the things in her life like her husband that loves her dearly.
>movies must be about exceptionalism or they're evil
The fat lesbian daughter was the worst part of the movie and the b***h couldn't act worth a damn.
>Best Picture of the entire year
the Academy just gets worse every year
I can take you comparing it to a moral movie but actually missing the message means that you're literally fricking brain dead. I'm not even going to spell it out for you, go look it up on Wikipedia you dumb frick.
as far as it being transformative, it was just a really refreshing lighthearted film with a lot of creativity that we haven't seen in a while. Even now thinking about it, a lot of it still stands out.
It was the greatest movie ever made. Do you seriously not look at Reddit and IMDb reviews?
It's a clever movie.
It anticipates and then subverts your expectations for it in a way that feel boundless.
Most movies are dumb(er) in that you can sort of see what's coming in a hackneyed way, but this movie was for it's time, fresh, even if you were on the cutting edge of ironic internet humour.
A movie about a family running a laundromat trying to get by would be more interesting than whatever that fantasy capeshit stuff was.
We kinda got that in Minari and it's an infinitely better film
I know the exact reason why it feels fake and unpleasant. It's a condescending corporate therapy movie, reassuring tired and disillusioned wage laborers that they should continue to breed and pay taxes.
Holy shit homie I think you got it wtf.
I was never able to fully explain my despise other than feeling like it's not different than other kid's movies like Ironman or Avengers but this is it.
I also had to go through "corporate mandate therapy" which wasn't real therapy and more of a training on how to be a better employee. They didn't care about my or anybodies mental health (they're a company after all) but they felt obliged to pretend they do just to get the GPTW seal of approval. It's just so dishonest and condescending
delusional
sheep
imagine being schizophrenic about a film that tells you to not to be so hard on yourself.
Learn to read you fricking ESL moron
I read your drivel, it's attributing malice to a message that's not as conspiratorial as you'd like it to be.
If you dont like this movie you're an incel. If a guy says he didnt like it RUN!
Wait but I do like lala land, pride and prejudice, ladybird and gone girl
I got an hour in and dropped it. I'm convinced there was a massive Hollywood gaslighting campaign because it was not good.
tasteless plebs need to believe they're witnessing le classic kinography. So they all agree it's ebic.
My cokeprostitute "progressive" california mother certainly enjoyed it
Post pictures of your mom
No worry OP, I don't like it either.
>It's literally a pretentious Marvel movie
It's exactly the opposite of pretentious, it's made to be highly accessible, your 80iq just can't comprehend that.
Pretentious doesn't mean complex or inaccessible.
Fantastic movie. I only went to the theater because these were the guys that made Swiss Army Man, and they didn't disappoint. Things got a bit muddled a few times, but how could they not with so much going on. Still did an admirable job. The editor had a Herculean task.
>so much going on
it's really not complicated at all
Sure, but they have multiple timelines with concurrent events, different iterations of the same characters, etc. There's more going on for them to juggle than most other movies.
It's good if you can ignore the rick and morty parts
>asian
>woman
that's it. like many critically acclaimed movies of the past 10 years, the whole thing is a celebration of female and nonwhite mediocrity.
Honestly, people need to be told to be nice to their mothers
