a bone to pick posted:you obviously haven't seen clerks 1 clerks 1 was neat when it came out, because at the time slackers talking about star wars, telling lewd jokes and saying 'gently caress' every other word was a novel thing. granted, if you showed it to someone who is a teenager now and grew up watching youtube stars who hit 88 fucks-per-minute and don't know what a video store is, they probably won't get it. everything else was mediocre to bad, especially chasing amy and i don't understand why self-proclaimed film nerds love it so much. 90% of it is just joey lauren adams and ben affleck screaming at each other and i've never made it all the way through it because that movie makes my brain melt and start leaking out of my ears

Dogma is at least a decent film. Last time I saw it was because it was assigned in a Christian themes in media class taught by a Jesuit priest. That was a trip.

the wikipedia entry sort of glosses over the part where he loses his humanity, you would think that would be a large part of the story. how does one become a walrus in ones own mind?

Aesop Poprock posted:I haven't seen it but movies with this message have been done forever and it's such a banal topic to target currently I don't even know what the point is. Everyone complains about millenials and self absorbed youtube idiots That's not what it's going after. It's basically a film that says that the people who propagate GBS style humor are sociopaths.

Spoiler alert, it's about a guy who thinks laying weak edgelord burns on other people through the vehicle of the internet makes him a hotshot. He's lost his empathy for other people and insists that he's really doing everyone a favor acting the way he is. He learns differently.

Right but in the end it turns out that the world is a cold and dark place worthy of his shittiness because instead of immediately taking him to a hospital for treatment the authorities apparently just put him in an enclosure and his friends come by to feed him fish while he pretends not to know them and weeps internally.

They might have helped him but he has no friends and he's a douche. They'd have saved that hockey player.

He doesn't actually lose his humanity, they just remove his tongue and shove tusks in his mouth so all he can do is groan and drool.

The tusks are made of his femurs or something too, like the dude's been way cut up.

I don't quite remember how long he's in there, but he resists the entire time. There are two points that are tremendously traumatic breaking points. He never wanted to be and does not want to be a walrus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAL7EMMCq-k

what are those two points? and even if he was all physically hosed up at what point does that translate to staying in the suit forever? or is it just a dumb metaphor

Also, it's not a "suit", parts of his own body have been cut up and moved around. There's just additional flesh from other people, that's the "suit".

You don't get the impression he chose to go there or wants to live there. It's just that there's nowhere else to put him. It's key to the theme of the film which is that his tragedy has resulted in him being "on display" for the rest of his life in this miserable little concrete enclosure. He also hides away as much as he can in a little shelter there, he doesn't come out for his former girlfriend or best friend when they come to visit.
