/lit/ - Literature

>>2135951
What based on personal experience? Fuck you though.

>>2135958

No faggot, when they posted on /lit/ in the 20s.

I THINK THAT WERE "CARICATURES" OF THEM; EXAGGERATED CHARACTERS OF THEIR PERSONAS. FOR ME IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT THEY WERE "CARICATURES".

>>2135974

but Dali was a posturing caricature

>>2135980

BUT IN THE MOVIE HE WAS DEPICTED RIDICULOUSLY, e.g. DALÍ REPEATING HIS NAME SEVERAL TIMES FLAMBOYANTLY; "DALÍ DALÍ DALÍ!".

I loved it. I especially loved how Hemingway spoke the way he wrote, and Corey Stoll's honest and brave attempt at capturing the persona of a literary giant.
My only real gripe is that Bunuel didn't get enough screen time. I love me some Bunuel.

>>2135985
Well, Dali was a pretty flamboyant character in real life.

>>2135985

Have you seen the Dali museum? He wore a crown and carried a scepter.

His obsession with royalty and himself was crypto-fascist, and it shows when he abandoned his country during the civil war and later admired Franco and Ceausescu. Orwell said he was a good painter and a disgusting human being.

>>2136001

Hemingway was perfect, although I can't believe everyone called him by his second name. I was waiting for Joyce to appear with his little glasses and sauerkraut frankfurters.

>>2136007
That's another disappointment, I was looking for Joyce the whole time. I saw it a couple more times and looked for him in the background of shots, etc... nothing.

>>2136001
>>2136007

BUT THE CHARACTER IN THE MOVIE WAS A "CARICATURE" OF DALÍ. DO YOU KNOW THE MEANING OF "EXAGGERATION"? "FLAMBOYANCE" HAS VARIOUS DEGREES OF INTENSITY.

>>2136013
Well, every impression is a caricature, that should be a given.

I made this thread months ago, when the movie was still in theaters...

I'd watch it but I have a terrible fear or hate of the Wilson brothers, particularly Luke Wilson.

>>2136017

You can do an impression without doing a caricature. Caricatures exaggerate only the most noticeable parts of a person.

>>2136013

you can't make fun of a clown.

Hemingway had me bursting with laughter every time he spoke.

Motherfuckers don't realize the comedy in this movie.

I was a bit high but still, i know i would've still found it hilarious and nobody in the theater other than some of my friends got it.

also, the boyfriend. god every scene with him was hysterical.

>>2136021

it just came out in the UK

I went to see it tonight in the cinema.

>>2136032
actually i'm going to watch it right now and see if it seems any less funny when i'm not high.

But as of right now i think it is Woody Allen starting to get it again.

>>2136030

"CARICATURES" ARE NOT INHERENTLY DERISIVE.

I've never seen it. Let me download it from the internet illegally via torrents or data hosting websites similar to and including Mediafire.

>>2136034

trust me he's back. the whole audience was crying with laughter.

>Woody Allen

I'm sorry. I'd rather not subject myself to even more Zionist propaganda.

>>2136035

the principle is the same.

>>2136044

NO.

Dali was the best. I liked so many of them...

Oh! I was planning to see it today! is it any good Truman?

>>2136053

yeah it's great man, it feels like an old woody allen film. Owen Wilson is surprisingly good at emulating his style.

>>2136051
oops not op

>>2136057
Good. I'll definetly check it out.

i was so surprised to see Lautrec.

>>2136057
I can't tell if Owen Wilson is a good actor. I define good actors as ones who can do a variety of different characters, but OW tends to play the same airhead-type. In this he seemed kind of airhead-hipster. Though I don't know if anyone else would have been able to accept the magic realism as well as he did.

>>2136061

Nobody expects Lautrec.

Shit, if he was born today they would see he has deformed limbs and the doctor would advise his mum to abort him.

Why was Carla Bruni even in this? Her character feels so forcibly inserted.

.>>2135985
>>2136013
Dali used to carry around a metal cigarette case filled with attachable moustaches, offering them to people at parties. Nothing presented in this movie could be more outlandish than his actual behavior.

>>2136066
Actually, he wasn't born that way. His legs were injured in an accident when he was young.

>>2136075
so Allen could get the necessary parking and filming permits

there's a reason this is the only movie where you see inside Les Deux Magots

Watching it now.

I hope to god Owen's personality doesn't go on like this for the whole movie.

anyone else ever have a dream where you speak to famous artists from the past?

feelswierdman.

this film would have been so much better with a Joyce and Proust cameo

>>2136374

Joyce and Proust aren't household names in America.

good film

>>2136378
They're household names amongst Woody Allen's fanbase

>>2136369
Happened to me with Hitler. lol

>Middle class intellectual being pretentious

Goddamnit, Woody. When will you change the damn pattern.

>>2136369
no, but I would really like to

need more drugs, I think

>>2136301

Alright, finished it.

Owen is a terrible actor.

Wasn't all that great, poor structure.

Terrible movie. Woody Allen needs to stop making this pretentious, sentimental, name dropping bull shit.

Manages to throw together so many cliches it hurts my head.

"What I always wanted was right in front of me all along" basically sums it up.

Garbage.

bump

holy shit that background is so aggressively impressionist

It was cool. It was refreshing to see a woody allen film where the lead isn't and isn't trying to be woody.

also lolhemingway

needed joyce.

thanks, I forgot about this movie!

Downloading

Scott Fitzgerald = Truman
Zelda Fitzgerald = Ty
Hemingway = D&E
Picasso = Fabulous

>>2137071
stop defiling the legacies of good artists

>>2136388

yea, I'm really looking forward to those low class intellectuals movies, the ones with black smart kids defeating the bullies by reciting joyce. and after that I could really go for some high class intellectuals snobbing it up in fine restaurants. why must the the middle class intellectuals plague our fiction so, why

>>2137095
this but unironically

>>2137099

well fuck you and your class hatred. besides, a pretentious intellectual will always be pretentious no matter what class he belongs to

>>2137105

mah nigga.

Movies about writers are usually disappointing and this was no exception. Trite, self-satisfied and insufferable.

Truman Capote, I officially love you, this movie was great. I really liked it. Thanks for the share.

The film was mediocre and devoid of purpose but pleasant to look at.
