The brain is really good at picking out a few key words subconsciously and I can usually get a feel for whether I'll enjoy a movie or not without actually learning anything about what happens in it

I don't understand why some movies exist. Like that "Irreversible" mentioned upthread- what's to be gained from sitting down with popcorn to watch a person be brutally assaulted for like an hour? Is it for people with profoundly traumatic lives who need to work through some stuff, or for people who have maybe stubbed their toe once and are curious what this whole "unhappiness" thing is?

Art is supposed to make you feel emotions. Not all emotions are positive. The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath seriously fucks up my brain every time I read it, but it's worth it. Think of it like eating a hot pepper, or getting a tattoo. The pain is part of the process, but it's a safe pain. A pain you know will end.

Byzantine posted:All pain ends eventually. No need to expose yourself to more of it. Exposing yourself to pain allows you to learn about it, and yourself. As someone who's got some really traumatic poo poo in their past, reading about similarly traumatic poo poo allows me to pull up those memories and work through them. It makes a safe place in my mind where I can handle analogues of my pain and look at them from other perspectives until I am able to face my actual issues directly. I'm sure it has different uses for different people, but at least for me it's kind of therapeutic.

I got into the habit of reading the synopsis of movies on Wikipedia because I got loving tired of everyone being really loving poo poo at describing the movies they're trying to tell me to watch Like a movie where the whole basis it's on a space station and there's a space ship suddenly turn up but they describe it with like "and this guy is an office worker but for lasers!" and it's not even loving relevant. Like seriously people can be so loving terrible at describing why I should watch a thing, often forgetting basic poo poo like genre. If you tell me about a movie I should not need to seek clarification of "so is this a comedy or a thriller or romcom or what?"

Irreversible has more going on than just the shock value. The reversed timeline makes the mundane relationship drama scenes after the tunnel scene have a quality I don't remember seeing in any other movie.

Powerful scene if 5-10minutes stretches out to an hour in your memory. What's to be gained by watching people do anything really? Personally I would find watching only Air Bud and Air Bud equivalents extremely boring.

George Mallory posted:“People ask me, 'What is the use of watching Air Bud?' and my answer must at once be, 'It is of no use.' There is not the slightest prospect of any gain whatsoever. Oh, we may learn a little about the behaviour of the human body at high altitudes, and possibly medical men may turn our observation to some account for the purposes of aviation. But otherwise nothing will come of it. We shall not bring back a single bit of gold or silver, not a gem, nor any coal or iron... If you cannot understand that there is something in man which responds to the challenge of this movie and goes out to meet it, that the struggle is the struggle of life itself upward and forever upward, then you won't see why we go. What we get from this adventure is just sheer joy. And joy is, after all, the end of life. We do not live to eat and make money. We eat and make money to be able to live. That is what life means and what life is for.”

MVP: Most Valuable Primate (2000, d.p. Glen Winter) is a harrowing examination of the depths of human depravity and man's inhumanity to man (and chimp) and I don't blame anyone for only seeing it once.

Dillbag posted:A post production supervisor friend of mine had to watch reel 3 of Schindler's List 6 times in one day when he was Q.C.ing the film for Amblin. This should probably be in the Schadenfreude thread. Spielberg got the special effects dailies from ILM to approve via satellite while he was in Poland filming Schindler's List. Movie shoots are always a ton of work, and this one was particularly emotionally draining. He said it was a grim contrast to work on a fun monster movie after a full day of work on a drama about real life horror. Spielberg dropped out of film school to make movies and decided to finish his film school degree via correspondence courses in the 90's. He submitted Schindler's List as a student film for one of his assignments.
