HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:The comparison to Lebowski and The Long Goodbye are well considered. I got "Long Goodbye" vibes through a lot of the film, which is both good because TLG is one of the best films ever but also bad because making me compare your film to TLG is almost certainly not going to turn out well. I did catch myself during the last 1/3 of the film wishing that I was watching TLG instead (there's a scene in IV with a bunch of semi-clothed women running by that reminded me of Elliot Gould's neighbours).  The Lebowski comparison is also apt more because this movie is a hippy movie. If anything, Inherent Vice is truer to the hippy attitude than Lebowski because Lebowski is about a hippy while Inherent Vice is all filtered through hippy attitudes. My biggest problem with the film was this hippy feel, because I've never been down with the whole "whatever you do is ok so long as its your thing" kind of attitude, although I can at least respect it. I just wish for more of a reward at the end. I am with you too Hundu in believing that people here who are comparing this film to American Hustle are on crack or something. I can't see the connection there at all.

Leon Einstein posted:A movie shouldn't require further reading to make sense. That depends, because there are films like Mulholland Dr. that basically require multiple viewings and visual art like Dali's stuff that makes more sense if you study the context of the imagery he used. I'm glad that Lynch convinced me to re-watch Mullholland Dr. and I'm also glad that Dali didn't just paint plain old fruit baskets and flowers.
