Battle Beyond the Stars is a great Seven Samurai remake, even stars Robert Vaughn playing the same character he was in The Magnificent Seven

Fitzy Fitz posted:To be fair to the lion king, folk tales about the natural world (which seem more like its inspiration than Shakespeare) don't have to apply directly to society. Like, I take the hyena thing more as a comment on ecological balance than race relations. But I've put very little thought into this. yeah you have to be careful about this kinda thing. the hyenas aren't a racial allegory because races don't function like the different animals do in the Lion King, with herbivores and apex predators and so on I think the hyenas (and Scar) are coded as: feminised, polluted, immature. the good guys in turn are masculine, abstract, spiritual. the story is generically aristocratic and exclusionary: power and rule is about possessing honour, wisdom, noblesse oblige, divine order; outsiders are filthy idiots who don't understand these things and ruin all they touch. it's not a race thing because Simba, too, starts off as a filthy idiot who must learn how to be better (and, of course, Scar knew better and instead chooses evil, rather than being evil by birth)

ArmZ posted:Paul Schrader can suck my balls. Jeanne Dielmann is GOAT. Director Paul Schrader and lead actress Nastassja Kinski had an affair during the production of this movie. Schrader fell in love and planned to propose marriage to Kinski at the wrap party, but she didn't show up and cut off all communication with him. After three months Schrader finally tracked Kinski down in Paris, where she bluntly told him, "Paul, I always gently caress my directors. And with you it was difficult".

Echo Chamber posted:"The Lion King is grossly reactionary and racist" was discourse that formed long before reddit and tumblr. Some people were definitely saying it shortly after it was released. I remember the bad-faith takes from my conservative family at the time who twisted it into "people are mad that Scar has a black mane and that's racist???"

Anyway, Disney totally ripped off Kimba the White Lion when they made the Lion King. Deal with it losers. I'm not watching your video essay either. Clip-On Fedora has issued a correction as of 20:10 on Dec 4, 2022 |

Like, I take the hyena thing more as a comment on ecological balance than race relations. But I've put very little thought into this. the thing the hyenas bring up in their musical number is that finally they'll have enough food to eat and won't be starving. I don't think that fits into a nebulous folk myth about ecological balance and absolutely fits into, if not race relations (I personally think it does), then at least class relations. I recognized this as an eight year old this isn't some woke revelation I've come to in the past four years

I’m really surprised that The Best Years of our Lives shows up so rarely in those lists. Maybe it’s just the amount of growing up that I’ve done since I first saw it, but goddamn it hits home hard.

Teriyaki Hairpiece posted:Man I just watched the first season of Ted Lasso for the first time since it was originally streaming and what the gently caress. What did I see in that show?? I watched the first 4 episodes on the plane and binged through season 1 in my jet lag. 1/3 into season two I was like what the gently caress. Juno temple is kind of interesting, her grandma was some active British communist. planes give me weird judgment about media. on an empty 11 pm flight I watched this movie with Alexis Bledel called Post Grad and drank a bunch of red wine. I wept because it seemed like the saddest thing https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_Grad quote:Ryden Malby graduates from college in the middle of the late-2000s recession and is forced to move back in with her parents, because her dream job has been given to her arrogant college nemesis Jessica Bard. Ryden and her best friend Adam, who has had a longtime crush on her, must find a job for Ryden before she loses hope for her future dream as an editor of a big publishing company, but her ambitions for getting a job blinded her from noticing that Adam was giving up going to New York in hopes that one day she will feel about him the same way he does for her. After a while, Adam gives up and goes to Columbia and Ryden gets her dream job, but realizes she isn't really happy and quits her job to go and live with Adam. it wasn’t great to rewatch
