/lit/ - Literature

pretty bad

>>5946773
>>>/tv/

Couldn't get past the first 20 minutes or so. Unbelievably boring, no idea why I even had that in the first place. Also >literature

My first thought is you're right to come here and not /tv/

My second thought is that it was a much more interesting concept than what the movie turned out to be. But I will always, always, always fucking love the actor/priest's monologue. It's beautiful, and its greater context as a fleeting improvisation, a scripted act given immense power through personal strength, yet never utilized, is wonderfully sad.

Probably one of the saddest pieces of fiction I've ever experienced

It's clearly a peak in Kauffman's obsesion with himself and how his head works. Its view on humans as a constantly repeating fractal of things we were at a certain point and things we got from others isn't particularly new but the presentation was very nice. The time shifts were maybe the most interesting "quirk" for me, not only when they bring up how time has passed but also the way people get older or younger during the movie.
The moment in which she buys the burning house really hit me, loved the line "it's also important to chose how we're going to die". Again, Kauffman loves talking about himself and having linesw reflecting on other sequences is part of that.
Great acting all around, the daughter got me quite mad.

This isn't /lit/ related.

Same guy who was just praising it a second ago, you could be gracious and call it "cerebral," but really, yeah, it's a dull movie.

I saw it about three years ago and thought it was the best movie I've ever seen. I haven't seen too many movies - no foreign cinema - but it really moved me.

It's a movie about intertextuality, the frailty of convictions, human mortality, and the creative process,
If you know /tv/, you know damn well a discussion of this belongs here as much as there, if not more.

DUDE NEW YORK LMAO

>>5946810
>a discussion of this belongs here

no, it doesn't, as it's not a book

>>5946821
Been to /tv/ much?
It'll get a fair shake here, over time, or it'll drown immediately there.

>>5946829
why exactly does that make it lit?

>>5946798
>Great acting all around, the daughter got me quite mad.
I lost any sympathy for the mother when I met that daughter. That was like a /pol/ nightmare.

>implying a film isn't a text

It's about how the process of artistic creation fails to capture the totality of life while simultaneously being an opportunity to redeem it.

>>5946869
a film and a text are distinctive objects, yes

OH BOY I SURE DO LOVE MOVIES I LOVE THEM SO MUCH I POST ON /lit/ MY FAVORITE MOVIES IS BIG GUY WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MOVIES

>>5946773
It's fantastic and it's one of the broadest-in-scope films I've seen. Top three for me.

>>5946808
You'll like Fellini. Try 8 1/2.

>>5946810
It doesn't belong here. We can accept this and still discuss it.
Don't you want to develop a bit those themes? I'd like to read what you have to say about its intertextuality.

>>5946791
Not sure if you missed a larger note in it, you're talking about greater contexts, but I think it's worth mentioning because it almost ties into the same point, but the priest's monologue is also a mockery of the maudlin/saccharine dichotomy of entertainment. In a lot of movies and TV shows, this is just the punchline ending, the nice neat package that let us all know why we watched it, which is in itself a sham.
This character is clearly presenting a moral, and the actor engages with it, understands it, and presents it, with grace and talent... but it might as well have been a toothpaste ad, or Jerry's Final Thoughts, it's a leading role suddenly given to a bit part. And the force which he gave it, that presence and grace, well, it doesn't mean a damn thing either because it's not the end, it's not the nice little moral, it was a guy going ham at a completely unnecessary time in the play, and falling far short of any moral ("Fuck everybody. Amen.") long before the actual movie is over. He got his phone call, his look, etc and it meant nothing.

>>5946773
Anyone got a link to a high quality version online?

>>5946900
Do you mind torrents?

>>5946900
You should just torrent it.

We post the same bullshit as well, but we talk about philosophers and artists. This is a work primarily aimed at artists.

I got a nasty letter from my ISP last time I torrented something, so I prefer to stream it if at all possible.

>>5946941

Did you fail to mail them back a picture of your dick with a note saying "Choke on it"? Inexperienced pirates often make this mistake.

>>5946922

Go on a VPN.

>>5946863
I'm sure the point was exagerating the father feelings when the wife takes the kids. It was completely over the top and that was good, a bit tamer and the mra guys would had turned it into their flag film.

>>5946897
I like you.
There's also a thing with the double being the one who gives the order to turn it into that. I felt it was something PSH would had wanted but hadn't the courage to lie like that, it needed a proxy to allow a momment of false passion.

Get peerblock. I've never had an issue since, it's a small file, and it's easy and unintrusive to use. It basically blocks other people from seeing what you're doing on your computer.

>>5946965
Isn't peerblock awfully outdated?

Although it depends on which country you're in, usually your ISP (or rather the anti-piracy company) only tracks popular torrents, like TV shows or pop music.

>>5946965
it doesn't work

>>5946983
I'm just going to torrent it. I still torrent sometimes, but like I said, I would rather avoid it. Just a roll of the dice I'd rather not take if possible, but this movie looks really good.
