>You don't actually enjoy your "favorite" kino
I absolutely do enjoy blade runner 2049 and mad max fury road
I also enjoy made in abyss season 1
not sure what dumb point you are trying to make because very few people here would claim their favorite movie ever is some old classic like citizen kane
season 2 was such convoluted bullshit, one good character cannot save it
yes faputa has a cool design. but her creation arc is literal trash. nanachi has one of the most interesting stories in anime and faputa's background doesn't come close
There's not much point in watching proper cinema before your mid-twenties at the earliest, when you (hopefully) have the wherewithal to contend with it intellectually and come up with satisfactory analyses by yourself. Trying to watch Tarkovsky as a teenager was moronic; I didn't have the knowledge of history, culture, society, cinema, etc. I needed to put myself in the right space to actually squeeze what matters out of his films. More importantly, I didn't have the interest. Teenagers tend to hyperfocus on certain media and have little interest in it other than what it offers at face-value. Part of this is, yes, exactly as the comic says: having a surface-level awareness of classic film as a kid is a fast ticket to "having a personality." So you engage just enough that no one can call you out on not having seen it, and frick all of the tangential stuff like its cinematic inspiration, the context in which it was made, the story of its production, etc. A good example of people who stay stuck in this mode are adult Star Wars fans.
you might have been dumb as a teenager, but not everyone was.
Also, you can get something out of a good movie (or any other media) at any age. Your age will influence what you understand/perceive, but it can be just as rich.
You can make fun of me for liking things that aren’t basically the movie equivalent of the Taco Bell value menu all you want but do you really think it’s going to make me look bad or offend me? >”oh no this guy doesn’t like slop, how pretentious! I’ll bet he doesn’t even enjoy the things that he claims to like because I’m too simple to understand them in the first place!”
Pretty weak side you’re taking, duder. Tru to have a shred of dignity at least
A lot of older movies are genuinely boring to younger people because these old movies basically created popular tropes that younger people have been exposed to all their lives.
This comic implies that everyone else has the same homosexual underdeveloped palate as the creator and that’s just being narrow minded. Do people really think in such stupid generalizations? Oh wait of course they do, I see it here every day.
Beer tastes like shit to me so I just drink cider, I never understood how people could actually like the taste of it. Same with stuff like doctor pepper.
When I first started drinking I liked cider since it's basically just juice with alcohol, but now nearing thirty most of it feels too sugary and sweet for me and I can't stand it. I genuinely enjoy drinking beer and I genuinely enjoy watching classics with beer.
>"How can you not have seen [some overrated shit], aren't you like, forty? You seriously need too see it, everyone knows it's amazing"
Every time I watch one of these so-called masterpieces I get nothing out of it. I understand them, I get what they're trying to say, but none of it resonates with me at all. The last film I genuinely enjoyed was Ravenous.
Maybe I just have bad taste, but the surprise and indignation people react with when I tell them I haven't seen Shawshank Redemption or Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas doesn't make me want to.
Your taste is your taste, you should watch what you enjoy, forcing yourself to watch something high brow just to appear more cultured would be fricking moronic.
For what it's worth, I fricking despise Shawshank Redemption. Sure some movies are considered classics, but not because anyone is guaranteed to feel the same way watching them.
I have ADHD but for some reason the only things I can focus on for hours on end are Mozart Piano Concertos and movies like in OP pic related. There's something about the ambiguity that tickles my brain enough constantly to not get boring.
Tokyo Story didn't put me to sleep but I fricking hate that film
it is a vile work of horror, an offensive crime against humanity
I despise it and its director
It's been a year since I first watched it and I'm still offended by it
2001: A Space Odyssey doesn't put me to sleep either but I become anxious during the space walk scene because I have asthma
Not a fan of Stalker or Solaris but I love Andrei Rublev
Apocalypse Now is terrible, that did make me nap
So did The Two Towers, so did Heat, so did Saving Private Ryan, so did Die Hard, so did Hellboy, etc
You needs must be swallowing miles (or kilometers in your native homosexual language) of dick (or dangalang tallywhacker pee pee wee wee in your native homosexual language) or else your asthma (read: autism) kicks in.
You can fall asleep watching a movie and still consider it good. Maybe you were just tired or something.
I had to stop The Magnificent Ambersons for a short nap, but I still liked the movie.
I had to pause and take a 30 minute nap during the intermission in Barry Lyndon because I watched it after an exhausting day and didn't want to miss anything. Sleepiness was taking hold of me and I didn't want to ruin my experience with it because I had already begun to feel as if it were one of the most beautiful things I had ever witnessed.
I ended up being on the edge of my seat for the rest of the film and consider it one of my favorites.
Really? I felt like the kid was pretty cool and tough. Also I related to hiding out at your rich buddy’s house. Was just raw kid kino from a time gone by but with some real universality
I finally watched the famous Citizen Kane and it deserves all the praise it gets, holy frick I can't believe they made a movie like that so long ago
absolutely mogs 90% of films made today, tight storytelling, doing a lot with a little, and just telling a fricking interesting story
and the character could have existed today, the film doesn't date itself at all
true kino and is beginning to make me a real snob, why ever, I mean EVER watch capeslop or nudisney ever again when you could just spend more time watching classic old shit?
You can make fun of me for liking things that aren’t basically the movie equivalent of the Taco Bell value menu all you want but do you really think it’s going to make me look bad or offend me? >”oh no this guy doesn’t like slop, how pretentious! I’ll bet he doesn’t even enjoy the things that he claims to like because I’m too simple to understand them in the first place!”
Pretty weak side you’re taking, duder. Tru to have a shred of dignity at least
Out of those I've only seen Apocalypse now, 2001 and Breathless. The first two were fine but aren't my favorite movies, and Breathless did indeed put me to sleep. Never understood how it's considered a classic.
It used a lot of experimental techniques early, so it was the first time most people had seen them. Also it was a French film very influenced by American movies and commented on them in a novel way. Like somebody further up mentioned, many movies attain classic status for being the first to do something, and become kind of irrelevant to audiences who grew up with those elements being commonplace.
Breathless is very simple to understand. It's literally 'society.' The main character is a media saturated hoodlum who is just emulating a Humphrey Bogart protagonist. Just like how the Godfather cane out and irl mafiosos began emulating the Godfather then Scorsese makes Goodfellas, repeat, and then shows like the Sopranos come out about these mobsters and now irl mafiosos just emulate the Sopranos and the Godfather and Goodfellas until we have three generations of actual criminals who think they're in movies.
It was one of the first big movies to do something like that. France was saturated with commercial American media and noir flicks so it's a commentary on that.

Face/Off might be my favorite movie of all time and Im tired of pretending it isn't.

And because such things are so rare, two more that aren’t technically movies are FLCL (my number 1) and Gunbuster (lower on the list).
Ooh, she got me. I sure did watch The 400 Blows and Jules and Jim when I was a teenager. I definitely wouldn't call those my favorite movies since I only watched them once each. I also watched Dreams and really enjoyed it, but I've only watched it twice. Haven't seen anything else on that list.
My favorite movie is The Thing.
>Watch classic kinos >enjoy them >but enjoy stuff like DBZ more and think it's the peak of fiction because it just involves superpowered dudes fighting each other to save the world >people make fun of me for this
No. To be entirely honest I only care about media if it's about dudes fighting each other.
The other month I saw The Duelists and thought it was one one the greatest movies ever, but I also thought the same about Once Upon a Time in the West and looking back it's the weakest Leone western.
no I like bdz and one piece way more than any "classic" movie, but the fact that I grew up with them and I still read one piece every week, is a big factor regarding the emotional attachement I have to them, compared to a 2 hour flick

I can find the good in most classic movies but they don’t all perfectly align with me, and that’s okay. When I watch a notable movie, I come at it with an open mind no matter the subject or time period. If it works for me, great, if it doesn’t then I work to understand why it works for others. A well regarded film that doesn’t work for you can still give you insight into other people.
If a film is liked by a niche audience, it’s similar. Some niche movies work for me because of how they break from “the canon” but deliver a specific flavor of thing really well. When they don’t work for me, most of the time I can understand why it has its fans.
If something is mediocre or even bad (but not so bad as to be notably good) I switch to a mental autopsy mode, and have fun breaking it down and trying to figure out how it could have been pulled off.
While I love the films that grab me without me having to even try, films that don’t can be worthwhile too, because you need to engage your brain and step out of yourself to “get it”. Over time, this process has expanded my taste and allowed me to enjoy more kinds of movies without having to do this, for example, silent movies.
Engagement with art is a participatory process, a lot of people don’t get that. I find developing comprehension to be much more valuable that developing discerning taste. If your goal is to enjoy movies, working towards a greater understanding and appreciation of them (how they’re made, why they work or don’t for people, etc.) is just as worthwhile as the ones who hit you in your bullseye right away.

Interstellar is better than 2001

Interstellar's robot is moronic

My kino is Gladiator.

>this manga homosexual is everyone!

Frick off, ESL. Or are you genuinely moronic?
>didn't even deny it
Relax brown boy
That was a very well written paragraph moron
Explain the ESL part
you might have been dumb as a teenager, but not everyone was.
Also, you can get something out of a good movie (or any other media) at any age. Your age will influence what you understand/perceive, but it can be just as rich.
I do actually enjoy Scott Pilgrim, Pacific Rim, Push, and Army of Darkness.
Breathless is such a fricking piece of shit.
My favourite kino is probably either Star Wars or Fifth Element and I enjoy them both very much.
>My favourite kino is probably either Star Wars or The Fifth Element

I forgot about Girls Gone Wild 3
A lot of older movies are genuinely boring to younger people because these old movies basically created popular tropes that younger people have been exposed to all their lives.
Breathless and Solaris put me to sleep. I like other Godard and Tarkovsky movies though.
She's basically Cinemaphile the waifu.
Read that as israelite, not gonna lie.
>She's basically Cinemaphile the waifu.
So she seethes about trannies 24/7?
>OP missing the point of that chapter
I enjoy Amadeus very much, actually.
Too many scenes.
I don't know what this homosexual shit is but it belongs in Cinemaphile.
Frick you.
It belongs here more. The whole manga is about a woman watching movies and every chapter is about some popular movie.
You homosexual bring oppenposting to Cinemaphile and now almost everyday there's always fricker making Barefoot Gen thread.
No it belongs here.
you dropped this, king
This comic implies that everyone else has the same homosexual underdeveloped palate as the creator and that’s just being narrow minded. Do people really think in such stupid generalizations? Oh wait of course they do, I see it here every day.
Correct, I was trying to make OP realize he's as big a gay as the guy who drew it
