Cuck mindset

>>14905485
No, no, he's right.

From Henry Jaglom and Peter Biskind's "Lunches With Orson":

O.W.: I hate Woody Allen physically, I dislike that kind of man.

H.J.: I’ve never understood why. Have you met him?

O.W.: Oh, yes. I can hardly bear to talk to him. He has the Chaplin disease. That particular combination of arrogance and timidity sets my teeth on edge.

H.J.: He’s not arrogant; he’s shy.

O.W.: He is arrogant. Like all people with timid personalities, his arrogance is unlimited. Anybody who speaks quietly and shrivels up in company is unbelievably arrogant. He acts shy, but he’s not. He’s scared. He hates himself, and he loves himself, a very tense situation. It’s people like me who have to carry on and pretend to be modest. To me, it’s the most embarrassing thing in the world—a man who presents himself at his worst to get laughs, in order to free himself from his hang-ups. Everything he does on the screen is therapeutic.

>>14905478
Literal retard firstly, but secondly he is just another corrupting jew mindset. Literally a child seeing quantity over quality.

You know it's true.

>“If life — the craving for which is the very essence of our being — were possessed of any positive intrinsic value, there would be no such thing as boredom at all: mere existence would satisfy us in itself, and we should want for nothing.”

What’s your favorite Woody Allen movie? Before you answer, you should know: when I was seven years old, Woody Allen took me by the hand and led me into a dim, closet-like attic on the second floor of our house. He told me to lay on my stomach and play with my brother’s electric train set. Then he sexually assaulted me. He talked to me while he did it, whispering that I was a good girl, that this was our secret, promising that we’d go to Paris and I’d be a star in his movies. I remember staring at that toy train, focusing on it as it traveled in its circle around the attic. To this day, I find it difficult to look at toy trains.

For as long as I could remember, my father had been doing things to me that I didn’t like. I didn’t like how often he would take me away from my mom, siblings and friends to be alone with him. I didn’t like it when he would stick his thumb in my mouth. I didn’t like it when I had to get in bed with him under the sheets when he was in his underwear. I didn’t like it when he would place his head in my naked lap and breathe in and breathe out. I would hide under beds or lock myself in the bathroom to avoid these encounters, but he always found me. These things happened so often, so routinely, so skillfully hidden from a mother that would have protected me had she known, that I thought it was normal. I thought this was how fathers doted on their daughters. But what he did to me in the attic felt different. I couldn’t keep the secret anymore.

When I asked my mother if her dad did to her what Woody Allen did to me, I honestly did not know the answer. I also didn’t know the firestorm it would trigger. I didn’t know that my father would use his sexual relationship with my sister to cover up the abuse he inflicted on me. I didn’t know that he would accuse my mother of planting the abuse in my head and call her a liar for defending me. I didn’t know that I would be made to recount my story over and over again, to doctor after doctor, pushed to see if I’d admit I was lying as part of a legal battle I couldn’t possibly understand. At one point, my mother sat me down and told me that I wouldn’t be in trouble if I was lying – that I could take it all back. I couldn’t. It was all true. But sexual abuse claims against the powerful stall more easily. There were experts willing to attack my credibility. There were doctors willing to gaslight an abused child.

Last week, Woody Allen was nominated for his latest Oscar.

>What’s your favorite Woody Allen movie?
Match Point is kino. Didn't bother to read the rest of your post.

>>14905507
Damn that’s rough. I like Manhattan best

>>14905511
Remember that part when he gets that high school girl to say at the end “everybody has to get corrupted sometime” and then woody Allen looks at the camera and smirks. Yup

>>14905507
Hi Dylan. Midnight in Paris is my favorite even though it's on the sentimental side.

Also, your mom is nuts and you should get away from her. Keep an eye out for Ronan too.

>>14905507
Hannah and Her Sisters or Annie Hall. Midnight in Paris, Manhattan, and Blue Jasmine are comfy too. Now I'm in the mood to watch another. Maybe Crimes and Misdemeanors. Goodnight slut.

>>14905486
No, no he’s an intellectual dwarf. A childish brain.

>>14905510
You should watch Stardust Memories, Hannah and Her Sisters, Annie Hall and A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy. These are his most /lit/ movies.

>>14905494
No wonder Welles movies are shit. He doesn't understand the world.

>>14905521
Watch Stardust Memories and A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy now

>>14905531

Oh come now Schopes this is a bit ridiculous, also Allen says absolutely nothing similar to Schopenhauer.

You wish he was right, because then you would be absolved of any obligation to make something meaningful out of yourself

>>14905623
On the contrary, the meaninglessness of life is liberating because then you can create your own meaning. Positive nihilism I believe they call it.

>>14905597
he was 25

>>14905601
Citizen Kane is the greatest movie of all time. Kubrick is the greatest director, but his best movie was Clockwork. Get your facts straight or I’m gonna take a giant dump on you

>>14905595
shut up soiboi

>>14905633
Was it influential? Yes. Is it a masterpiece? Yes. Is it the greatest film of all time? Absolutely not.

>>14905642
HAHAHAHHAHA

> The first and only (as far as we know) Top 10 list Kubrick submitted to anyone was in 1963 to a fledgling American magazine named Cinema (which had been founded the previous year and ceased publication in 1976)," It runs as follows:

1. Citizen Kane (Welles, 1941)
2. Wild Strawberries (Bergman, 1957)
3. I Vitelloni (Fellini, 1953)
4. The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (Huston, 1948)
5. City Lights (Chaplin, 1931)
6. Henry V (Olivier, 1944)
7. La notte (Antonioni, 1961)
8. The Bank Dick (Fields, 1940---above)
9. Roxie Hart (Wellman, 1942)
10. Hell’s Angels (Hughes, 1930)

I bet you haven’t seen half of those movies. BOW DOWN

>>14905642
Kubrick thought The Godfather was the greatest.

>>14905628
It took him two years to make

>>14905661
OHNONONONONONONONON YOU SWAPPED I VITELLONI FOR CITIZEN KANE

https://flashbak.com/stanley-kubrick-lists-his-top-10-films-397735/

THE REAL 1963 LIST IS:
1. I Vitelloni (Fellini, 1953)
2. Wild Strawberries (Bergman, 1957)
3. Citizen Kane (Welles, 1941)
4. The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (Huston, 1948)

I don’t really like any, probably 2001, paths of glory, or strangelove. Take your pick. Killing is my favorite, but not his best. Haven’t seen eyes wide shut though.

This or fanny and Alexander is best Bergman.
>3. Citizen Kane (Welles, 1941)
Chimes at midnight is better.
>4. The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (Huston, 1948)
Probably best Huston, maybe Maltese falcon. However, the wild bunch is better.
>5. City Lights (Chaplin, 1931)
Keaton is better than Chaplin, and the kid or modern times is chaplins best. Odd choice desu.

It might be. Falcon isn’t the best noir. That’d be Laura, big heat, or out of the past

Fuck Chaplin. Keaton had balls.

>>14905732
I’m gonna take a shit on you

>>14905724
2001, Clockwork and Barry are one movie, that’s the first/ highest tier
same as Shining, Full Metal and Eyes aside Shut, second tier,
Then, in this order, Paths of Glory, Dr Strangelove, Lolita, The Killing, Killers Kiss, Fear and Desire, The Seafarers, and then at the very bottom is the very embarrassing Spartacus

>>14905719
>>Tokyo Story

what the flying fuck are these opinions

>>14905745
Paths of Glory is great, you stupid nigger. And The Killing is among the best noirs out there. Not the best but top 25 or 50.

>>14905752

Honestly Escape was so good he made it forever with that film

It’s pretty good, Kane is still 1. Chimes was really slow but I’ll give it another try soon
>not the best American filmmaker
And who would that be?! Be very careful how you answer that

>8/12
That was a great film. amarcord was comfy. Vitelloni was awesome, I agree with kubrick
>secondary
Virgin spring is not secondary. If you haven’t seen that, the magician, or sawdust and tinsel you are cheating yourself
>Laura
That’s not Huston. Vincent Price is a boss btw
>Keaton has balls
So what, Chaplin fucking wrote directed stared and made the music for all of his films. Chaplin is hollywood and cinema

>>14905846
Half of these aren’t noirs

>>14905854
Noir is not only about detectives and thugs. It's a mood, an aesthetic, a particular outlook on life.

>>14905510
Match Point is shit, probably his worst movie.

>>14905821
Night of the hunter, asphalt jungle, and Chinatown are better than the killing imo

>>14905851
>Not the best but top 25 or 50
All I wanted was you to flounder trying to name 25 better noir films than The Killing, which is not possible. You tried to fluff your list with neo-noirs and non-noirs and still didn't succeed
>>14905846
this guy's list has the same issues, somewhere between the two of you there is a decent list

All the films in the second list are noirs. There isn't a single neo-noir.

Pic related is the greatest noir film
If you disagree you will die

>>14905903
>>14905915
Rear Window is certainly not a noir and Les diaboliques is a large stretch of the definition

>>14905932
Rear Window might be seen as a neo-noir but because of its release date (1954) it pretty much fits into noir territory. Les diaboliques is French noir.

>>14905494
This. Also applies for Ricky Gervais; victim complex matched with inherent sense of superiority. Means they can't be kind or generous to anyone because they always feel like they've been wronged.

Add to that what Houellebecq has written about humour:

>What is humour other than the shame of feeling a real feeling? A kind of trick, an elegant slavish pirouette in the face of a situation that usually generates despair or anger? So you can understand why humour is so important today. In an earlier letter I wrote that I didn't believe in the Jews. Well, in general that is true, and yet, in some ways... for the Jews have undoubtedly developed, before anyone else, the famous sense of humour with which it is unfortunately possible to endure almost anything.

From Kafka: Toward a Minor Literature
>All this can explain the interest of Orson Welles for Kafka. Cinema has a much greater link than theater with architecture (Fritz Lang, architect). But Welles always brought together two architectural models and consciously used them. Thje first model is that of splendors and decadence, of archaisms, but possessing a completely contemporary function, rise and descent along infinite stairways, low-angle and high-angle shots. The second model is that of the wide-angle and depth-of-field, unending hallways, contiguous traversals. Citizen Kane and The Magnificent Ambersons use the first model whereas The Lady from Shanghai uses the second. Even though The Third Man isn't credited to Welles, it reunites the two models in an astonishing mixture of the sort that we've been talking about: archaic stairways, the great ferris-wheel sticking up into the sky, the rhizome-sewers that are barely underground, the contiguity of the sewer pipes. Always the infinite paranoiac spiral and the unlimited schizoid line. The film of The Trial is even better at combining the two movements; and a scene like that of Titorelli - the little girls, the long hallway in wood, long shots, and sudden contiguities - shows the affinity of Welles' genius with Kafka.

Too many steps. Dudes who write like this are in the network. They have publishers practically begging them for material. Same as always. When I learned that I realized 90% of a library is just that: imagine your in a french cafe surrounded by authors, and you pick up from a friend that so and so knows a publisher and he needs something written up for x subject by random date. So you go and say, hey I’ll have the first chapter on your desk by tomorrow, but I need an advance- bickering and bartering and then negotiate/ and that’s how people paid their bills. They apparently still do this, except with this it’s not a novel or a think piece but fucking opinions about movies lol it would be easy to write, but not worth the hassle of BUY MY BOOK.

This is actually spot on. Sometimes you act timid to refrain from provoking people and thus causing someone to wound your pride. There's a difference a truly timid person's well-intentioned simplicity and childishness and a conceited person's spiteful, envious duplicity

Anyone who disagrees with Welles is a chode

Introverts are ridiculously arrogant. Their "humbleness" is arrogance. Their "shyness" is arrogance. They are as arrogant as anyone else. But you won't know that because they are afraid. They don't talk much not because they are shy or quiet, but because they are afraid. Afraid of being made fun of, afraid of being humiliated. Afraid of other people. This is where the arrogance, and the contradiction comes in. Introverts crave validation; they crave it more than any extrovert. They want to be praised, they want to be glorified. But the fear of humiliation prevents them from striving for it. It makes them paranoid. That fear drives them to hate everyone else, to antagonize everyone else, to sit in a corner and spit on everyone who passes by.

Now, what will our poor little introvert do now that he can't get his validation from other people? He will be put on a pedestal, by himself; he will rub the nose of others in the dirt, by himself, all in his own mind. This is why they are so passive aggressive: they don't need to bring you down physically, you are already humiliated in their own minds.

Their patronizing tone, their false sense of humbleness, their self-depreciation; it all makes me nauseous. I want to hold them by the ears, and scream in their faces at the top of my lungs. To beg them, please, raise your head and stop smiling at yourself. That you are not so superior to me that you have to resort to humiliation to bring yourself down to my level.

I want to humiliate them. I want to humiliate them till they lose that sense of pride. I want them to be humiliated by others, again and again and again, until their deformed and exaggerated sense of pride and self-esteem gets grounded into dust, so that they can rebuild it to be normal like the others.

I want to punch their lying faces. I want to cause them great pain. Not to cause them injury; nor to humiliate them. But to make their faces become angry, frightened, weeping – anything but that smug, almost anaesthetized serenity they wear everywhere. To break that shell of humility, to scratch away that veneer of humbleness, to reveal the haughtiness and hypocrisy inside.

Hypocrisy? Yes, they are hypocrites. Arrogant people are by nature hypocrites. They have impossible standards for others while forgiving themselves their own transgressions. How else do you think they keep up their façade of humble superiority? Another aspect of their hypocrisy is their sensitivity and cruelty. Introverts are sensitive, that much is true, and also a well-known fact. What most people are not aware about is the unusual cruelty of introverts. They can be very cruel. This is because they believe they are more “emotional” beings, able to feel and appreciate the finer sensations, while other people are Neanderthals whose amplitude of both sadness and happiness is minute. They’re not cruel because they’re sadistic or heartless, they simply don’t believe others feel the same way as they do.

The mind of an introvert is inbred. The prejudices it holds feed off themselves, and the biases festering within confirm themselves. It returns, again and again, back to itself for comfort and validation, like a spiral circling inwards ad infinitum. (This inbreeding of thought sometimes leads to a very deformed and ugly view of other people and the world. No surprise then at the fact that sadists, masochist, fetishists, serial killers, are more often than not introverts).

As I said before, introverts get validation from themselves. External input is filtered to remove anything which might affect their prejudices and biases. This is why they appear to be so neutral, not because they are actually so, but because they are afraid to bring out their opinions into the glare of public scrutiny. They start getting anxiety at the thought of people picking away at their precious little values in the broad daylight. At the thought that their worldview might be wrong. All they want to do is to sit in the dark and let their biases and prejudices fester while quietly smiling to themselves in their surety.

Not surprising since their entire world is closed up like a tightly wound ball of yarn inside their minds. Unlike extroverts, who are more receptive in that they welcome feedback from the outside, introverts are not so, they rarely ever change their inert minds, no matter how much evidence you throw at them. They are stubborn, afraid of change, unreactive and often they mistake this stubbornness, which originates from fear, as integrity.

All the while he could have actually done some good shit in his pathetic life besides coping how grimdark everything is and how he needs a little girl to jack him off while the coke binge hasn't faded away.

Orson was too based for this world, can charlatans like him even exist nowadays?

>That you are not so superior to me that you have to resort to humiliation to bring yourself down to my level.

Aren't they weak to begin with? Why must you dominate them further? Why bother if their supposed self aggrandizement is otherwise unboasted due to their unintruding nature? Do you like to bully the weak?

>They start getting anxiety at the thought of people picking away at their precious little values in the broad daylight

But is the only reason you shared this opinion is because you are cloaked in anonimonty? Do you seem to speak so well of the introvert because you are one?

Otherwise, you overall have given the best character summary of Dostoyevsky's underground man!

You diliberately twisted his quote before attacking him via ad homenim. How much of a threat to you is he?

Based

Dumb. If you look at life honestly and clearly, one sees only matter and energy, and that is neither good nor bad.

>>14905522
Fuck off

>>14905610
Yes, yet another reason he was based.

>>14905478
he's an athiest jew

This isn't true at all. You can look at life honestly, see all its nightmarish aspects, and still enjoy yourself. It's just that simple people like Woody Allen (neurotics in general) interpret life's events in a reflexive manner. They give up immediately. They don't believe in self-mastery, and so they never attain the equanimity necessary to feeling healthy and happy in the face of tragedy. They're NPCs.

>nightmareish aspects
no such thing

>>14912332
From a human perspective, which is the only one we have, there are obviously nightmarish aspects. No one experiences life "objectively".

I didn't mean objectively

Illusions. You're not taking the fully objective view if you take them seriously.

Orson said it better and with more tact

>>14905494
He's not wrong, though a dreadful person's work can work a certain magic for the worst in us. Welles was the opposite, and played the charlatan because, and not despite, he was nothing like that in reality. His candor had a certain incandescence which, quite naturally, got him into some trouble with nasty and mistaken people.

People like him are a threat to all of civilization. Neutered, docile sheep.
