i get not liking kubrick, but you're clearly just being contrarian if you're going to try to argue scorsese is shit.

I'm entertained this sparked a bit of discussion, because I just fired off the first two directors that came to mind to slot into that statement.

Putting more thought into it, it's more like

Cohen Brothers = Dostoevsky
Scorcese = Tolstoy

>> No.10878202

BREAKING BAD

It's fucking Tarkovsky you plebs. Tolstoy would be Bergman.

>> No.10878527

>>10877936

I disagree.

Coppola is like Tolstoy.
Scorsese is like Dickens: rich, lively, colourful

Actually, I agree that Coen Brothers are more like Dostoyevsky, but they have humour.

Which writer is most like Charlie Kaufman?

>> No.10878533

>>10878527
There isn't humor in Dostoevsky?

>> No.10878540

>>10878533

Besides Note from Underground, I have found his work utterly lacking in humour.

Crime and Punishment.
The Idiot.
The Eternal Husband.

They made me feel physically morose, each of them.

>> No.10878550

Who is the Michael Bay of literature?

Dosto is Bergman, both dramatists that impressionable teens latch onto as an entry-level gateway for their respective art forms before moving on to better things.

Dude, their are some hilarious parts of Crime and Punishment. Svridraiglov, or however you spell his name, was a riot! He literally just walks up toR's room, while he knows that Raskolnikov knows what Dounia told him--about how she thinks he killed his wife, and starts hanging out with him like they've been for friends for years. Totally owns it, and is like, ya bro, we are gunna be friends, we have so much in common, "we both love your sister!" and otherr things tbf, like moral awareness and intelligence--to varying degrees. Those whole scenes were hilarious, and Pforiry and Raskolnikovs interactions could be hilarious at times. Laughing out loud often. Granted, their were also hella sad parts that made me cry, but you can't say it wasn't at least funny in parts.

You're probably right about the humourous side of it. I read it when I was too young to appreciate the humour and just found it miserable. It's been twelve years since I read Crime and Punishment and I only remember a handful of scenes:
>His conversation with the poor civil servant in the tavern.
>His delirium on the couch after evading his landlord
>The horse-beating
>His sojourn into the police department (or was that from Underground?)
>The cart in the market square scene
>The room with the suicide
