Brighter Summer Day is one of those movies that's so visually impactful that it gives you this life-altering aftereffect. It's like when you look at a spiral for thirty seconds and then everything gets all squiggly, but instead you're suddenly aware of the space you're in in this really freshly cinematic way. I love it when movies do that. I remember after seeing Playtime, I couldn't stop noticing little Tati-esque things all over the place.Safety Factor posted:

Timby posted:Holy loving gently caress, everyone knows what movies you're talking about. All-caps is a weird script thing and you know it. Oh I'm so sorry. Would you prefer I italicized titles? Or put them in bold? Shall I include the date too or should I put the title within quote marks? Can I capitalise any letters? How about taking a step back and accepting that everyone has their own way of posting instead. You'll be better off for it.

When listing a film, always bold it then put in italics and parentheses which giallo and or slasher is better right beside it that compares closest to said film's plot. For example: I like The Shawshank Redemption ( 1988's Prison)

Was gonna say, funny to see we're circling back to the 80s/90s where buying your child a mouth raping dick monster or literal pedophile dream molester is a-okay. But then I realized that's probably not even the target audience for these.

They also had this.

I also fondly remember the Men in Black toy commercial where the kids were ecstatic at "exterminating aliens", which is definitely what the movie was about.

K. Waste posted:It's really good. Better than A Single Man, even, which was already drat good. Looks like we are in disagreement again. I liked NOCTURNAL ANIMALS immediately after seeing it, but the more distance I got, the worse it seemed. My main complaints are that the story within the story is much more interesting than what is supposed to be the main story, but because it isn't the whole film, there isn't enough time for that story to be fully developed. I spotted the plot twist with the detective getting lung cancer and going vigilante from very early on. I love Amy Adams but found her character pretty hard to relate to or feel sympathy for; that whole story (which is mesant to be the main one) was actually pretty unengaging. The film also felt overly stylised - I found it distasteful that a shot of a man finding his wife's and daughter's dead naked bodies was so beautifully composed and shot that it looked like a fashion shoot. It was inappropriate. SO THERE.  LesterGroans posted:It's strange because it feels like, beat by beat, an NPR-approved indie film but Viggo's performance pushes it a little past that. It also helps that the child actors didn't really have a weak link that I can remember. I totally get what you mean. I love Viggo but I had to stop watching becasue it felt like a Hollywood writer's wet dream of what off-grid left-wing living would be like. It felt extremely contrived in that regard.

This one time I played Minecraft for way too long on my server, and then I looked and saw it was like 4 am, and I thought to myself "I should really go to bed, I'm exhausted" so I walked up to my cabin in minecraft and clicked on my bed. That is probably the dumbest I've ever felt.

Hat Thoughts posted:It was a pretty basic beef stroganoff recipe, I was worried because I don't know what I'm doing but my friend who actually knows how to cook kind of guided me & it turned out really well. Pasta rules. Not my favorite (because it always looks a little grey and unhealthy) but stroganoff is good.

It's pretty drat good, but declaring something the best pasta dish is like declaring something the best film. As soon as you mention it, you immediately think of a dozen alternatives that could easily hold the title as well.

It was inappropriate. SO THERE. The film isn't overly stylized, it effectively uses techniques of distanciation to provoke interpretation. The moment you mention does a very good job of contextualizing and reaffirming the psychoanalytical framework of the story: Taken separately, the two images hold completely different connotations, which arouses the confusion and distaste of the spectator. We are never being shown a contrast between 'fantasy vs. objective reality.' Rather, the parallel between the imagery violently disrupts the spectator's paradigmatic association between events which the protagonist technically isn't witnessing and the neutral ('objective,' god-like) cinematic gaze. The point is that Susan's traumatic recollection of the past and investment in a trashy crime novel by her former lover have pre-cognitively mapped this meta-cinematic/literary scene upon her reality, even though the connection between the daughter/wife dying in the novel and Susan's living daughter by a completely different man is obviously irrational.
