I love film and literature (though literature a little more so) and find it baffling people with an interest in either medium can dismiss the other.

Reminds me of 'Ma Nuit Chez Maud'. It's based around a philosophical idea and is almost entirely dialogue. Great film though, I recommend it.

b-but how can I be le patrician then?

>>7056781
My kind of book. Fancy prose is pretentious and oftentimes sacrifices clarity to sound as pretentious as humanly possible. What good is a book that breaks your immersion, either because you find yourself struggling to figure out what a passage describing the setting is supposed to mean because it's overwritten poetic garbage, or when all the characters speak like euphoric tryhards a la Ayn Rand?

>>7056854
I suspect a lot those who are most vocal about 'muh prose' are probably high schoolers, actually. Past a certain age you realize that no one cares how much of a cultured patrician you are because you read all the 'grownup' books. Not even the people to whom you brag about it on porn sharing internet forums.

It's not about being "fancy". It's about being beautiful, and beauty and clarity goes hand-in-hand all the f-cking time. If you've read more grown-up books you would know what the heck I'm talking about.

Also, no one thinks Ayn Rand is good at writing prose or dialogue.

you think that's why people like well written prose? to appear cultured?

I'm sure there are people who genuinely just read for the prose, but I doubt they're on /lit/ harping about patricians and plebs.
