>What was this movie about
The terror of being a weak, anxious, and depressed man. Basically, it's about being a loser. The main character was also raised by an insane/overbearing mother and absent father. It's a pretty Cinemaphilecore movie but the gays on this board are too prideful to admit it
It was in first and last 20 minutes of film. Problem is everything in-between. It's like 3 movies stacked together.
>It was in first and last 20 minutes of film
it was a Cinemaphilecore movie for the first and last 20 minutes, or it was about having an insane mother and absent father for the first and last 20 minutes? i would understand your comment if you meant the first option, but not the second - the whole movie’s about his relationship with his parents, particularly his mother.
This, in reality it's a tv show that for some reason got turned into a movie. You can literally see every scene ends with a fade to black showing exactly where it should have ended.
EP 1 in the city
EP 2 in the surgeon's hour
EP 3 in the forest with the theatre group
EP 4 mother's house
It would have been a brilliant 10/10 mini series that everybody would have watched and called kino but instead we're stuck with an awkwardly long movie, and is too difficult to recommend.
>not even 3 hours
>"awkwardly long"
You are like little baby
The pacing is bad. The entire forest and play sequence are bad. It drags on far too long on one note at the end. First his mom tells him he's bad, then her lawyer tells him he's bad, except they're both Beau telling himself that he's bad. What was he thinking?
Dunno what to tell you. You got filtered. Every single moment of the film is golden.
Look at how many posts b***hing about the runtime and the lul in the middle that were essential world building.
I saw it in theatres 2 fricking times you c**t. I love the movie but I can recognize that this isn't a film but a mini series marathon and it's next to impossible to get someone interested if they aren't receptive to kino and don't already have a high IQ.
>it's next to impossible to get someone interested if they have bad taste
I liked all the stuff about him living in what we in Europe think all American cities are like, I liked him being held hostage by that awful upper middle class family, I even liked the theater play in the middle.
I just think I have too good a relationship with my parents to relate to what it all builds up to.
>I even liked the theater play in the middle.
go to bed Ari
Come on. It was visually neat and had some interesting emotional beats.
It felt out of place. The rest of the movie (until the end scenes with his mother and then with the lawyer) was solid: subtle but not obscure. The play scene and the ending felt so on-the-nose in comparison as to be jarring. The play scene especially felt like the sort of thing a studio would ask to be added for fear that the audience would be too dumb to "get it" otherwise. As far as the visuals go I prefer the way the rest of the movie looks for sure, but that's strictly a matter of preference I suppose.
It's just not very good. That's all.
>It's a pretty Cinemaphilecore movie but the gays on this board are too prideful to admit it
ur just projecting
what's the movie called where the main character sits at the dinner table with his parents and they berate him and talk down on him and suddenly he pulls a knife, sticks it in his mother's gut and calmly continues eating? i think the guy with the knife was played by tim roth but am not sure
I really enjoyed it but I think seeing it in a packed theatre helped.
>3 hour running time
Frick off and dropped
Mommycore and doomerpilled. It's reflecting the inner life of modern male stagnancy due to severe risk aversion and anxiety.
It's also a funny Looney tunes movie where the protagonist has giant distended testicles and his father is a tumescent wiener monster.
>What was this movie about?
It's about the negative effects of overbearing mothers, especially effects that last into later life. You can sort of telescope that out into "the negative effects of unhealthy relationships in general, especially those that your life in the long term."
Decent movie, better than most garbage, but it has some major flaws. The pacing is awful in the middle. The end drops any semblance of subtlety in order to bludgeon you over the head with, "SEE: HIS MOM RUINED HIS LIFE! SHE DESTROYED HIS MIND!" You are likely to find the "episodes" wanting if you aren't sympathetic to the stereotypical neurotic israeli-American temperament (if you didn't pick that up from the synopsis). The episode that had the most potential, the forest, was squandered to make room for the worst part of the movie: the play. Good ending though, I'm glad Aster didn't cop out.
7/10, might be better than Midsommar but it's way worse than Hereditary. Hopefully it'll get Aster to go back to low budget psychological horror/thriller where he belongs.
yeah, i thought the first hour or so was great but then i really lost interest
and i get why they needed to switch the hot mom for the old one at the end but looking at that disgusting ugly hag was unbearable
i think it's worse than midsommar, at least the theatrical cut of midsommar. midsommar feels a lot more pretentious but the parts in beau that suck suck a lot harder
She was cute
What in the name of CGI gods is that last frame?
She and her mom were employees of Beau's mom. There's so many interesting details in the world of the film but I can't really be assed to figure it all out because it's overall not as enjoyable as I'd like.
>Beau starts raping faster than Eminem
>Beau is Afraid” (Ari Aster) — Ari made a horrifying, challenging masterpiece. Yes, Western civilization is doomed, and Ari isn’t afraid to go there. It’s repellent in the best way. It’s vital filmmaking.
From the words of Robert Eggers himself.
Who cares? Eggers' last movie was decidedly mediocre too. In fact the only difference between he and Aster is that The Lighthouse was a much better movie than Midsommar.
i can't believe anyone would even begin to compare the two
sure, midsommar and beau were kinda meh, but they still had some kino fricking directing
i love ari's transition and how daylight pilled he is
eggers' movies are fedoracore dark and edgy reddit crap, i feel an ai could make them
Between their two most recent movies each The Lighthouse is head and shoulders above the others.
the lighthouse is all style and no substance, so i don't think so
the fact that the movie you're naming from eggers is the one movie that relies on looking extremely different from anything else and selling you on the vibe that way says it all
>t. has seen five movies
drop dead douchebag
i accept your concession mr reddit
No substance? You can talk endlessly about it. Not only are the themes obvious on the surface level but there are explicit references to mythology. Prometheus gives man fire and is punished by being tied to a mountain and having his innards pecked by gulls. You're way off base.
reference isn't substance.
Are you trolling or just moronic? If Pattinson ends up on a rock getting his innards pecked at by gulls, he's Prometheus. So what does the lighthouse lens represent, and who does he "bestow fire" upon? Who punishes him for it? The discussions that arise from questions like those are substance.
Now keep in mind that's only one lens of many that you can use to view this movie through. And for the most part all of them flow much more naturally and are less tortured and self-serving than when we're talking about Midsommar. And Beau is Afraid is so on the nose that it comparatively leaves little to discuss. "Heavy on style and light on substance" is much more applicable to that movie.
>reference isn't substance
>but look at everything being referenced!!
the only actual substance of the film is "lighthouse duty sucks."
Guilt. They literally write it down at the beginning of the movie for you to read.
Still a mediocre flick and god, besides Phoenix the acting was mostly terrible. The movie has one of the best "I AM ACTING" examples near the end.
>The movie has one of the best "I AM ACTING" examples near the end
Nothing comes to mind
after the coitus and before attic.
Do you mean the mom? She played a vindictive b***h just fine.
i'm talking about the monologue specifically.
It’s about a boys fight against his mother’s omnipresent disappoint in becoming that man she raised him to be. Not bad but not great
What was her problem?
She didn't have the proper crimes of the future style organs to allow her to ingest industrial chemicals.
She had her bedroom stolen by some random hobo
>She drinks the blue paint which is symbolically a boys color, while simultaneously defacing her brother's room with pink paint to symbolize her trying to paint him as the daughter noe. This is all a metaphor for her desire to be the male child their parents always desire.
Narcissistic mothers.
Beau is the result of a Narcissistic mother and a Dad who was out to lunch
Post the ass
FRICKING POST IT
It was about 3 hours long and I gave up after 45 minutes of virtually nothing happening
when anybody drops "style over substance" it means they don't know shit
It's the critical version of saying 'it had good cinematography', kek
Ow, that's fricking hot.
Good cinematography is super important because it’s the only thing a movie can do better than a book. If a movie is really good looking that’s enough reason for it to exist
I just mean that it's a fancy way for people who don't actually know anything about filmmaking to say "it looked good". It's a way to sound like you're saying something without saying anything. Complaining about "style over substance" is just a pretentious way calling yourself a plotgay.
imagine being so upset you can't defend your reddit movie that you are still replying without replying, holy kek

DICK MONSTERS
The main thing I've learned from using this site the past 15 years is that I'm always right and anyone who disagrees with me is stupid. Didn't used to feel that way.
Don't leave us hanging, what did being stupid used to feel like before you found this site?
first half was great and then it fell apart
This is what I think too. I admire the ambition of the movie and the first hour or so is fantastic but then it collapses under its own weight
Was anyone else reminded of Posession watching this? Something about how heightened the acting and absurdity of the story in the pursuit was in both films in their pursuits of externalizing the internal world.
Yeah, but Beau is Afraid played it a lot more overtly for comedy.
No that's a way different experience.
homosexualry
Best pleb filter of the decade, pure kino
Hiding from my mom at the store was so much fun.
What's the significance of the shaking boat?
he's actually zooming through the water at high speeds, he only thinks he's immobile. then the boat hits something and flips
based moron
bruh that's exactly what's happening in the scene. he's alone on the water so he's gone full schizo, his mind is eating itself without any outside stimulus.
There wasn't a boat or a beach he was still in the bathtub the entire time.
nope. he's hallucinating for most of the movie, but still traveling.
>introduce unreal elements
>brainlets try to rationalize them like this
Is there a word for this phenomenon
intelligence?
The movie establishes immediately that he's an untreated schizophrenic.
>very first scene is him attending a therapy session
>early plot point involves him taking medication
>brainlets: "Clearly he's an untreated schizo"
>fake drug name
>has no effect
>>fake drug name
When phone numbers pop up in movies as "555-" do you assume the phone number is meant to be fake?
so you're just further proving the idea beau is a paranoid schizophrenic being fed placebos went over your head, despite it being pretty much directly stated.
see
paranoid schizophrenia isn't an "unusual element" and is all but directly stated in the first scenes.
What the frick are you even talking about? Do you know what the "unreal" is?
Schizophrenia is never even hinted as much less "all but directly stated."
Beau is only paranoid, he's not schizophrenic. His problem is he lives in a weird movie.
... anon the first scenes is him talking to a shrink and getting prescribed placebo pscyh meds after the shrink writes "paranoid" on his notepad.
>paranoid = schizophrenic
u dumm
psych meds, real or not, are not prescribed for paranoia.
>hurr durr what are antipsychotics for??
u r dumm
... anti-psychotics are for... psychosis... typically caused by... schizophrenia...
>psychosis = schizophrenia
You're a pretty bad psychiatrist, anon
That’s not what he said
>psychosis... typically caused by... schizophrenia...
How very "all but directly stated"
One is a symptom, the other is a disorder (with multiple potential symptoms). Please go back to school.
So what homosexual? Beau shows the symptom but nowhere does it hint he has the disorder. Maybe join a debate club queer
So you should understand the words being discussed before you jump into a discussion about them. Otherwise you look stupid like that other Asian guy that thinks mongolturks invented Latin.
>trying to change the subject of the argument this badly
You could just say "I give up, you're right"
that isn't possible for ESLs.
schizophrenia is a disorder that can cause psychoses/hallucinations that can be treated with medication.
>weird shit happens to this character
>he must be hallucinating!!!
see
Don't listen to him, he's been outed. You'd have to be moronic to think Beau is supposed to be schizophrenic.
Paranoia is not a symptom specific to schizophrenia. Beau exhibits symptoms characteristic of anxiety disorders, for which you might expect psychiatric medication. Not too much reason to think he's schizophrenic
how about that bit that dropped recently that ashkenazis are predisposed to schizophrenia?
I don't remember that from the movie
they're probably more predisposed to be neurotics in the way that Beau is. In fact there's a stereotype for it, and it's pretty much Beau.
he's a little bit more than "just neurotic" bro. He makes charlie kaufman look well adjusted.
Beau is the stereotype played extreme. The explanation has the added benefit of making sense; the movie doesn't make any sense if we're supposed to think Beau is schizophrenic.
>the movie doesn't make any sense if we're supposed to think Beau is schizophrenic.
Feel free to elaborate on this point.
The movie is very obviously about how Beau's relationship with his mother has ruined his life and left him an emotionally stunted, pathetic man child that is unable to achieve or even take the initiative on anything. If the reason for all this were his schizophrenia and not his mother, the movie makes no sense, because now it can't be Beau attempting to come to terms with his relationship with his mother, because it wasn't his mother that ruined his life.
and it can't be both because...? You missed the part where beau's shrink was in his mother's employ and feeding him placebos, to actively avoid treating his schizophrenia.
see
>You missed the part where beau's shrink was in his mother's employ and feeding him placebos, to actively avoid treating his schizophrenia.
Do you also think the mother didn't actually die and faked her own death only to reveal herself to Beau to upbraid him? Do you also think Beau actually wandered into a gigantic open arena where he was put on trial for crimes against his mother? Beau's paranoia comes from his anxiety and his poor social skills. It's much more likely he thinks his therapist is in cahoots with his mother because he's socially moronic and wracked with paranoia and self-doubt, than because he actually is.
Like Ari Aster stated himself, the film is very israeli. Beau is a neurotic israeli stereotype taken to the extreme. Schizophrenia is not involved.
>the things that happened to the character didn't actually happen to him
You're just as dumb as the poster you're replying to
I know you're probably trolling, but you have to think of it in the same vein as a David Lynch movie. Not everything is being shown to you because it actually happened. A lot of it is being shown to portray or dramatize the conflict Beau is dealing with psychologically.
Why do you think what happened in the play is some sort of psychosis and not just... Beau's imagination? When I day dream am I in psychosis?
It was overlong and too on-the-nose. Good movie but it has its flaws.
You call the forest and the play scene essential world building? World building for what? What was so essential?
>World building for what? What was so essential?
Anon stop looking at beau like it's a movie, it's a mini series. It's allowed to ask questions and deep dive into other aspects that movies don't have time to approach.
Obviously a story about a man suffering from a traumatic childhood and mental illness wants to fantasize about raising his own kids. It explores how he tries to plan literally every aspect but his own mind betrays him by fabricating tragedies he's sure will happen that he's incapable of preventing.
Was it slow? Yeah, even I admit that it's my least favorite part of the move and could have been punched up better. but it answered the question how beau perceives the future. He needs to plan around problems his own mind creates, you feel me?
Okay but it was released as a movie, not a miniseries. And movies can manage to ask questions and deep dive into things too. They don't even need to be three hours long when they do it either.
The fantasizing and mental self-sabotage and self-blame could've been done way better. The way it exists in the movie is a complete departure in what is otherwise a consistent tone and style. It's not clever and I didn't find it moving. It's jarring and it's even boring. I got the point after thirty seconds at the beginning, after thirty seconds after it went haywire, and after thirty seconds after he found his children. It didn't do anything for me, except get me to wonder whether the whole thing was some sort of joke that would stop with a record-scratch moment because it was so out of place. I just don't get it. Even if Aster really wanted to do it as a play, the play just could've been done so much better. It totally took me out of the movie. The narration was so monumentally fricking stupid it felt like Aster jumped up on a soap box and started preaching what was already obvious.
I would think it was a one-off mistake but that's sort of the form the movie takes at the end too.
You said it yourself, you really don't get it
Now use context clues: what don't I get?
He didn't find his children to begin with, if you really need a more literal explanation just google it I guess you fricking autist
Did you get that the movie is a comedy? That ari aster is a comedy director? That his style is playing with the idea horror timing and comedic timing are identical?
Hey I get it, I'm not disagreeing with you, I even left to take a piss midway through the fantasy sequence because I was so bored. It's definitely forgettable and could have been cut
I think they felt obligated to keep the imagination sequence in because they had already paid so much for the animation. Probably had no choice but to keep it in. Imagine if they instead focused on another live action sequence, it would have been fantastic.
I still don't think it should have been a movie to begin with and I still don't think the animation is worth it and could have been shortened and fine tuned. But what we got is what we got and I'm still happy with the overall film. Lots could have been changed.
Are you saying you can be rendered completely unaware of reality itself just by using your imagination? The two plays establish the movie is beau’s perceptions, and those perceptions are fungible.
>>as a David Lynch movie
You got lynched
Now I get it, you can't wrap your head around the idea most of the movie actually happened and a lot of it was in his head, adjacent narratives building off each other, because you need a simple "x or y" narrative.
The movie directly shows you beau getting lost in his psychoses in response to outside stimulus (the play) and then "waking up" from it (the actual play having nothing to do with beau's version) when he has to acknowledge reality (can't have sons if you never got laid).
see
Just to be clear, are you the same moron who’s obsessed with everyone else being Asian? Because if you’re ESL then of course any sort of nuance or double meanings would be completely beyond your comprehension.
You replied to multiple people.
>has no argument
>resorts to pretending I'm another poster
I accept your defeat
Thr argument is the same as it’s been all thread. Beau is an untreated paranoid schizophrenic. The movie establishes this a number of ways. You can’t comprehend how schizophrenic psychosis is always based on at least something from reality, thus think “Beau is schizophrenic” means “the entire movie was in his head.”
>Beau is an untreated paranoid schizophrenic.
This is your headcanon
>The movie establishes this a number of ways.
It doesn't, not once.
Right, because anti-psychotics are prescribed for anxiety.
>implying anti-psychotics are only perscribed for schizophrenia
So you’re not that other ESL, you’re a different ESL?
>has no agrument
Here's your (you)
I don’t need to make an argument since
stands unopposed.
I opposed it here
And (you) resorted to name calling
Anon. Saying “no” is not refuting an argument.
Burden of proof is on you, son. Nothing posted ITT has proven the movie even suggest Beau has schizophrenia.
It’s proven the movie is beau’s perceptions. You refusing to acknowledge this doesn’t change anything.
It's not proven at all. You saying so doesn't make it so.
The play sequence proves the movie is beau’s perceptions.
He gets lost in a fantasy about how he wishes he had a family, so he has schizophrenia? Just confirming, this is what you actually think?
The fact his entire reality was replaced by the fantasy/delusion/hallucination/psychosis is the clear indication he is schizophrenic.
It couldn't have been a creative choice in a surrealist movie to, maybe, depict how Beau's fantasies might have appeared to him? It has to be that he's schizophrenic?
>it was a creative choice to structure the entire movie as a paranoid schizophrenic psychosis so… he wasn’t an untreated paranoid schizophrenic!
>You replied to multiple people.
What's your point?
Welcome to surrealism.
You just wanted to say that
Your take on Lynch is pathetic. Lynch makes movies like impressionist paintings. You're not supposed to question "hmmm what was real what wasn't?" You're supposed to sit back an enjoy the ride
Except mulholland drive is literally about the delusional fantasy reality created by a failed actress, the reality that spawned it, and what happened when the delusion broke.
Except everything in your post is a Reddit-tier fan theory.
>the things that literally happen in the movie? That’s just a fan theory!
anon this is pathetic.
>my dumb interpreation is literally what happens
And yet impressionist paintings depict something, the same way that Lynch's movies depict something. I understand what you're saying, but you can also enjoy his movies on another level beyond only how they make you feel. Because, like impressionist paintings, they depict something, and the way that something is depicted changes how you're going to feel about it. Mulholland Drive is a perfect example of that. It's not just something you sit back and enjoy the ride of, and then don't think about it any more. You're moronic is what I'm saying.
In the play you braindead moron.
So you think the play scene was his idea of a comedic element?
>and then don't think about it any more.
Based words in mouth putter.
You can come up with whatever dumb interpretation you want, in the end you'll come up with nothing but moronic fan theories.
> film critic David Sterritt spoke with Lynch after the film screened at Cannes and wrote that the director "insisted that Mulholland Drive does tell a coherent, comprehensible story", unlike some of Lynch's earlier films like Lost Highway.
And this proves your headcanon fan theory how exactly?
If David Lynch bothered to insist that Mulholland Drive tells a coherent, comprehensible story, then one might wonder what that story is, try to piece it together, and then wonder about what that story means or why Lynch bothered to tell it. That's a little more than "just sitting back and enjoying the ride."
Haven't you ever seen his list of things to unravel the mystery of that film? Lynch is a troll. He says whatever.
They all make sense: the beginning of the movie is Naomi Watts falling asleep, dreaming 80% of the movie
The play was literally a setup for a long joke.
it represents his mind being buck broken in coming to terms with his relationship with his mom. Immediately afterwards, he either comes to terms with it or becomes resigned to it, and then he dies.
israeli anxiety about overbearing yenta mothers
Why does Cinemaphile always get filtered by kinos like this?
This isn’t even out yet tho, is it?
yea it is, left theaters and is online for a couple weeks already
>Great premise
>Nothingburger at the end
Such many cases. Pig did it better.
pig was really good, I totally agree
a moron calling others moron, lmao
it seriously is just a comedy, just extremely dark
the joke is just that whatever the worst thing that can happen to Beau is what will happen
No he made two horror movies so this is a horror movie too.
I don't mind Beau is Afraid but this is way better imo
Beau is Afraid is a cautionary tale about how to avoid being a beta male. Beau is the ultimate beta. A man of inaction, who worries and frets about every little thing, thinks he's completely helpless whenever a problem arises, needs constant help, and runs from all his problems. Don't be Beau. Don't let teenage girls bully you. Don't take shit from your mother. Don't run from homeless freaks in your neighborhood. Don't sleep on the fire escape while the dregs of society turn your home into a crack den.
You know how Johnny Bravo taught a generation of boys to not be alpha? To not be ripped and hit on girls all the time? Beau is the opposite of that.
holy projection
beau is le afraid is about israeli angst and nothing else. they are the eternal victim, even in their own fricking families
Beau is Afraid is a comedy, you moron. You're supposed to laugh at him, not pity him.
Why not both?
You're right. I yelled at a girl for being bad at her job yesterday and I'm not going to feel bad about it anymore. Stupid b***h should have tried not sucking.
The crushing existential anxiety of living.
The inequity of being born without consent.
The guilt that is felt when we do not abide by parental expectations.
The cognitive spiral of schizophrenia.
It’s a good film.
eh. could be a lot better. hopefully this movie didn't burn people out on this type of thing because I think someone can come along and best it at its own game
Gaslighting.
It's about gaslighting.
What was his problem?
Why didn’t he stop Beau from choking his mother?
He was sitting down
One drop.
Would you believe me if I told you the original rough cut was 5 hours
Easily
You forgot the part where he was MKUltra'd to assassinate Michelle Obama by the theater troupe
israeli neuroticism, shame, wiener mutilation, mommy issues.
It's hilarious how the heeb director called it the "israeli lord of the rings", because he's exactly correct. But instead of the themes of LoTR like bravery, loyalty, and love, it's israeli insecurity
Lmao!
Ari said it took a lot of pleading to get Joaquin on board because he invest himself so heavily in his roles, make of that what you will but they're already working on his next film together.
You hold yourself hostage with your culture of seething and implicit weakness. Stay in the crab bucket if you want, but never forget the world doesn’t share your delusions.
Nta but thag doesn't make any sense. What crab bucket?
Also literally the entire world agrees outside of dying boomers. The ADL has been freaking out about antisemitism being completely unattached to political or financial positions in young people.
>never forget the world doesn’t share your delusions
Kek. Yes it does.
Rest of the world here. I neither see you as a master race nor do I think israelites control everything. Seethe.
Why are you speaking my language on my 2ch clone then?
I am using Latin words and letters, what are you talking about Hansdeep Nigelwong? Did you really believe the mongolturks came up with this language? Lmaoooo
Ahahaha it’s the ESL psycho who thinks everyone but him is Asian.
lmao it’s an Asian gypsy that wishes it was European
Seriously man you’ve got one of the oddest delusional cope matrixes I’ve ever seen from an ESL
Seriously Genghis euro never ever.
Hahaha keep telling yourself that man. Hope you don’t have to cope too much today.
Be sure to instantly reply to show how little you care about what I’m saying.
And a Ching Chong to you too, Hansdeep Nigelwong!
>never forget the world doesn’t share your delusions.
I used to think this fifteen years ago. For ever day that’s passed since then I’ve seen it become less and less true. It’s now at the point I’m concerned the majority may go too far in the same direction I’ve been running in. The pendulum swings heavy.
you’ve simply dug yourself deeper in your own delusion
it goes hand in hand with your desire to be seen as European and to bury the reality of your Asian heritage as far as possible
>delusional person accuses others of delusional ideation
when people learn your language to go on your country's 2ch clone, you will have some high ground here.
>Genghis thinks mongolturks invented Latin letters and words
Lmao
you're brown and have convinced yourself that everyone else is browner. its pathetic.
Euro never ever Genghis
white: never
European: never
seriously man, get help, if your shithole country even has mental health services.
Seriously Genghis, get help. Mongolia won’t take you back in this state.
>parroting
so its just brownoid autism?
What’s wrong Genghis? Having trouble understanding the Latin letters and words? I guess it’s hard being Asian and all, I understand.
Just trying to figure out what's wrong with you. You're not a neurotypical ESL. Autism seems most likely, the parroting, the repeating inane names/phrases, the clearly autistic ideation, but then again, you could've just been driven insane by the fact you needed to learn my language to get any attention.
Cool Asian story Genghis. I appreciate you taking the time to let us know how mongolturkic gypsies think. As a European I am always fascinated by foreign cultures.
your fixation on turkey and romania, paired with the obsession with the mongol empire and its range, tells me you're bulgarian.
Your belief that mongolturkics created Latin tells me you’re a rusanglogermcuck
So that's a yes to bulgarian. Also you're reading comprehension is terrible, typical to ESLs. The language being mine doesn't mean I invented it. Its the language of the most powerful country in the world, that you needed to learn, before anyone would even pay you this much mind.
There there Genghis, you can always be called European by Indians and Chinese lol
You have a desperate need to feel superior to those you've submitted to in every physical and mental way.
Not as desperate as your futile need to be seen as European it seems
Anon. Just because I'm giving you attention doesn't mean I'm hurt by the laughably random accusations you're making. I honestly enjoy prodding delusional nutcases such as yourself.
And a Ching Chong to you too, Hansdeep Nigelwong!
>ESL turns off his ability to understand english
as much of a concession as I can ever expect from one.
Ok now you’re finally European! Just kidding never ever Genghis kek
I really liked it besides the long woods/play scene and the moronic attic part
>stolen keys
>brown recluse

The first hour was so good. I really wish they had just cut the stupid fricking attic thing and made the woods scene shorter.

That part cracked me up.

This part was amazing. Pure kino.
Why did Ari call Beau a loser, bros?
You can be yourself. Whether it’s compatible with the rest of the world or not is up to you. It’s not just the israelites making you feel stupid if you have moronic views. It’s the entire world.
Nta but come the frick on. You're rambling vaguely about some imagined personal issues and claiming the world isn't antisemitic.
Get real.
judaic neuroses
keeps you focus ..i like it
>if your mother calls you, pick up.
its a long winded mommy issue movie about a guy who's a shut in
israeli male fragility.
ari aster is such a pseud, i hope all of his films fail. they are meant to waste your time.
To accept Ari Aster as a quality director is to garb yourself in a coat of hot pockets and video games and then writhe around on the ground in a supermarket while screeching and slapping yourself on the sides of your head.
He is cheeto dust. Nothing more. Nothing more than a hack, a useful tool for studios to trot out to say "Hey, we're making art house!" I cannot wrap my head around the adulation he receives, let alone the wide praise this has got. The film trudges from set piece to set piece, leaves us no real questions or anything to think about really.
The same bullet that kills a capeshit fan will also kill the A24 fan. They come from the same root, from the same doritos stained console. They are frauds, and as a warrior of cinema it's my duty to expose the fakes and the inauthentic when I see them. I will fight with crawls and teeth until the last imposter is fallen to the ground.
I have about as much respect for Ari Aster as I do for the dogshit on my shoe. It is reddit. It is video game hot pocket. It is capeshit. It is cheeto dust. I'm literally screaming right now and slamming my arms down on my desk just thinking about it.
It is the most depraved video game infantilized manchild degeneracy. It is saturday morning cartoon. It is non-neurotypicality. It is me
mes. It is video game. It is tarantino. It is imdb.
It is coca-cola puberty. it is axe body spray. it is a white stain on boxer shorts. it is arri alexa hot dog caffeine on disney channel.
Damn all Ashkenazi israelites look the same.
I thought Hereditary was great. Midsommar was disappointing, but it didn't stop Aster from apparently wanting to make more low concept artsy character stuff, and now he has disappointed again with Beau.
Aster is best with simple high concept stuff. The best part of Beau is the least abstract: the beginning. Beau dealing with the street thugs that live outside his apartment. It's the same with Midsommar; the best part is the very beginning, where the girl's family is killed. That's the same thing Hereditary had going for it that worked so well.
Aster shouldn't try to be some Kubrick or Bergman or PTA. He works better as a Hitchwiener or Tarantino or Nolan.
neurotic israelite with mommy issues, many such cases
I have a theory that this movie hits too close to home for many Cinemaphileners so they want to dismiss it as "DUDE DIRECTOR'S MOMMY ISSUES" or "DUDE israeliteS LMAO" instead of actually thinking about the film. Pretty cringe.
every time we have a thread people prove they missed even the most basic concepts of the movie.
>theory that this movie hits too close to home for many Cinemaphileners
yep
Would you argue that the thrust of the movie isn't about overbearing parental relationships producing emotionally stunted indolent adults plagues with self-doubt?
is overbearing the word for "doesn't actually believe her child has a serious mental illness?"
Was he born with it or did it come as a result of a maladaptive upbringing?
schizophrenia is congenital, yeah.
better than the one who wants you to be diagnosed for something you don't have so she can brag
it's rude to answer a question with a question
no it isn't, it can be a way of answering
Or I was just straight up asking. I might have overbearing confused with overprotective. An overbearing parent that doesn't also overprotect is kinda difficult to imagine.
It shouldn’t be since the film depicted one pretty well
The FBI is scared
so exactly how did parker posey
die?
Died at the moment of orgasm, same thing his mom told him his father died of (leading to his fear of sex).
I liked it but thought it got really weak in the second half the play was nice but the stuff with the forest theater group is easily some of the worst parts of the film. It definitely drags a little here and there after he leaves the city and stays at the couple's house but it's decent enough. The sense of paranoia throughout was handled well I kept thinking Aster would be able to do a good Pynchon or David Foster Wallace adaptation while watching this not Infinite Jest but probably one of his short stories
How I rank Aster films so far:
Hereditary>Beau is Afraid>Midsommar
Anyone got a webm of the sex scene? I watched this on a plane and they censored Parker Posey's delicious breasts but I think that's the only thing they tampered with
>Anyone got a webm of the sex scene?
here
>Starting her song over to time it with her coom
>Beaus entire reaction to everything in this scene
>the giant nuts
>Parkey Posey's smoking hot milfy body
Kino.
He fricked her to death.
Anon the premise of the movie is the playing out of a israeli stereotype. The director described it as a "israeli Lord of the Rings." What you're doing is like going into a discussion about a Philip Roth novel and denying that it has anything to do with Roth being israeli.
don't engage. just report and ignore.
Most anons got near there but forgot the core of this bullshit: israeli neuroticism and victimhood. The whole shit screams SHALOM at you, from the rich guy living like a hobo to the whole fear of sex, commitment and the dumb violence and giant wieners, this whole thing appeals to the israeli mind. A decent person may resonate with some parts but overrall everything is a little bit off and too much, because we are not paranoid israelites afraid of watermelon t-shirts erasing Israel.
>loved the movie
>Went home and told my mom about it
>Explained how it's about a man suffering from schizophrenia and anxiety, and scene by scene
>I even said it was a dark comedy that made me laugh
>It slipped my mind that my deceased oldest brother was literally like beau but more bipolar and psychotic and violent
>He Passed away just 2 years ago
>I tried explaining that it's a brilliant journey into the mind of a man tormented by his upbringing by his overbearing mother
>My mom breaks down crying and retelling me about my brother's life and her trying to raise him as a single mom when he was kicked out of kindergartens because of how violent he was.
>I'm uncomfortable and she cried for the rest of the day
>I never bring it up around her now
Idk what I thought would happen.
Why was there a narrator for the play? If you're going to take the time and effort to film a play within a movie, why not make it actually a play instead of a narrated explanation of what Beau thought he missed out on? That felt so weird, so awkward.
>narration bad!
watch Adaptation
It's the way that it was done, not just the fact that there was narration.
>nooo you have to do narration THE RIGHT WAY
pleb filtered
>nooo you can't evaluate anything!!!
filtered
I could see it being better as a miniseries. The way it was released, I think had the play scene been done in plain live action like the rest of the movie, and as an actual play, it would've been way better, but you're probably right about what ended up happening. I don't hate the movie, but it's fun to argue with people on Cinemaphile that keep saying it's the best thing since this or that
(you) can't evaluate anything because (you) have shit taste
compelling argument, here's mine: you're moronic, and probably gay
What was the punch line?
When Beau has to confess he’s never had sex to his “sons”
I appreciate that it was a good way to break the fantasy, but as a joke with a fifteen minute set up and cutaway to exposition to make it work? meh
It’s okay if you didn’t get it. It’s not like explaining the jokes will change that.
what makes my post gives you the impression I didn't get it?
Because you posted at all.
Are you supposed to empathize with the father in the strange thing about the joneses or laugh at the utter absurdity of the premise and laugh harder at how you’re laughing at incestuous sodomy?
The verb you're looking for is sympathize, not empathize. Strange Thing is a good example actually, because even though it is a comedy there is an underlying statement being made. Same thing in Beau. Or do you think it begins and ends for laughs?
Nope, I meant empathize. As an ESL you shouldn’t try to correct native speakers.
How is anybody supposed to empathize with a dad that's getting raped by his kid?
And how absurd would it be to empathize with the father from strange thing about the joneses?
lol, are you American?
Yes. I am from the country who’s language you needed to learn to use our 2ch clone to even be noticed.
>who’s
LMAO
Only ESLs consider grammer to be a point of pride.
okay moron, and what about spelling? Certainly nobody that insists on writing in proper English using proper grammar or spelling is actually a native English speaker right?
Dude, you’re brown. Get over it. You’re speaking my language, I’m not speaking you’res. I’ll do with it what I please and you’re the one who needs to keep up.
If anybody's brown here it's probably the guy that can barely put together a complete sentence in the language that is apparently his. Post skin homosexual.
just stop talking about ESLs if you can barely write
simple as
See
>Because you posted at all.
As your second grade reading comprehension teacher would tell you, the thrust of my post was that it's not a good joke. Guess you didn't get it
I thought it was a good joke because I got it immediately. You think it wasn’t because you needed it explained.
>I don't hate the movie, but it's fun to argue with people on Cinemaphile that keep saying it's the best thing since this or that
This is one of those weird times where I love the movie but totally understand why anons would hate it. it's for a hyper niche audience who probably went on /LULZ/ at some point and have a soft spot for vulnerable pathetic protagonists.
If someone throws me criticisms about Beau is afraid I genuinely don't get upset, I literally agree with most criticisms, it IS a schizophrenic narcissistic israeli vent by some nepotism baby with an incompressible plot and a self indulgent run time. And yet I fricking love it and want more.
It's hard to argue when I'm both a lover and a hater of this film and agree with both sides
I laughed basically start to finish. I kinda empathized with Beau but most of it was laughing at him.
Same, Beau is the only film I've genuinely laughed at in years. Nothing has come close. It's the best comedy in a decade.
Sorry but I gotta call you out. Do you think Beau is afraid posters call it good because it's emotional? You seem to have this preconceived perception about the people who liked the film and it's bizarre because it couldn't be anymore wrong. This isn't a feel good or sappy story. It's a dark comedy that knows that nobody will cheer for this man or mourn his death, everyday a man like beau is born and killed and nobody bats an eye. They are the most unwanted people in society and we laugh at them, and this movie is just self aware that he's a dysgenic loser who was told to never have sex because he's too fricked up and will ruin society by breeding. It's a comedy like Freddy got fingered where you need to understand irony and be self aware of the context. Seems like you don't actually understand the film m8.
>Sorry but I gotta call you out...
Not because it's emotional; because it's more likely to find an audience in people that are more familiar with what it's making fun of. Hence israeli people.
But I disagree with your comparison to Freddy Got Fingered. Beau still follows and satirizes a tragic hero thing, just with a neurotic. It follows the same structure and is comprehensible in the same terms. Freddy Got Fingered is meta and parodies the structure, the premise, the movie, etc.
And Beau is sympathetic, even just by virtue of being so pathetic, and even if that is kept at an arm's length by the movie's comedy. Idk where you get the shit about him being dysgenic or ruining society by breeding, pretty sure he's just a neurotic. Or are you the same guy that thinks he's supposed to be schizophrenic?
What makes your think I found it emotional? Do comedies, including black comedies, not allow you to sympathize with a character as a rule? Especially one as pathetic as Beau?
>What makes your think I found it emotional?
The fact that you've spoke nothing about the comedic parts and you only speak about the emotional moments. Infact you admitted you didn't know it was comedic until anons told you it was funny to them, then you started joining in.
I'm speaking about its issues, which are mostly the parts played emotional (like the play) or the parts where the comedy doesn't falls flat or doesn't save other issues, like the end.
comedy falls flat*
There were a lot of funny and sad moments of the play. “Because you had sex with her” stuck with me.
Yeah I should rephrase what I said before. It's fun to argue with people that think the movie is some sort of perfect movie.
I don't even mind most of what you say either, except obviously it restricts the potential appropriate audience to the point that I'm not part of it, so maybe the movie doesn't tug on my heart strings the same way it would if I had overbearing parents growing up, or was israeli. And I do think the pacing is such that the middle of the movie actually felt like a bit of a slog for me to the point that I had to fight the urge to check my emails and texts in the theater.
But I enjoyed it overall. It's better than most dogshit that gets released today. Even if Aster isn't making nonstop home runs and has issues he's clearly very talented, and he makes interesting movies that are, at the very least, fun to watch.
Who said the movie tugged at their heartstrings? Has anyone said they emphasized with Beau?
>emphasized
Maybe "tugged on heartstrings" isn't the right phrase, but I do think we're supposed to sympathize with or pity Beau, even if it is constantly kept at a distance with comedy. I should've said something like, "maybe I would've found the movie more compelling if I had..."
Ok so some of us laughed while you found it emotional. Ironic since this movie is more relatable to me. That's where perspective comes into play. Maybe you can recognize that you yourself don't get it and instead of arguing with anons who do get it and call it the best you should frick off and stop arguing.
It's a kino about having giant nuts full of cum but never cooming because you think you're going to die
Yup it’s kino
Mommy issues and severe autism/schizo/anxiety, very relatable in other words
literally me kino
>all these poltards who think only israelites can be neurotic
I wish
>all these poltards who think only israelites can be neurotic
Everyone can be neurotic, but only israelites are THIS neurotic and make a whole movie about it like it's some kind of achievement.
Parker Posey being this hot at 55 is a fricking crime, what a goddess
>but only israelites are THIS neurotic and make a whole movie about it like it's some kind of achievement.
they also make most of the superheroes, porn, nobel prizes, etc. they are just creative at everything. seethe
I don't know if I'd call superhero movies, porn, or nobel prizes creative. When you look at literature you figure out they might not be very creative. But they are at least good at moneygrubbing.
>they also make most of the superheroes, porn, nobel prizes
>they also make most of the superheroes, porn, nobel prizes, etc.
He actually posted this as an unironic gotcha. He's being serious. Holy shit
it's in the title moron

>requires showtime addon
hate when this happens bros...
It's a surrealist movie. Beau isn't schizophrenic. He's probably taking anxiety and depression medication, he's not taking schizo stuff.
The only time he’s on legit medication is just after the accident, then his mom calls and orders for him to be taken back off the meds.
Stop trying to have rolling threads. Say something or go frick yourself.
or else what? you gonna call me names on an imageboard? lol, moron
