It's a good movie, probably underrated tbh. It's a lot of fun.

It's interesting to think about how the bad guys needed to destroy the past to save their future but the past won which still results in the future being destroyed.

Who really won?

Dersu Uzala is great and has themes that are very resonant with Taoism. I need to rewatch it. I feel like Lynch is very much informed by TM stuff but is obviously more about diving into alienation and traumatic experience rather than say forging a connection with nature, so not very Taoist imo.

e: Dersu Uzala is free online on mosfilm's youtube channel

After much thought, since Taoism is primarily about balance, I've come to realize Star Wars is the most Taoist movie, since it's focused on balancing The Force. Which could also be understood as The Tao.

Namaste.

I've come to realise Avengers: Infinity War is all about balance. And the main character, Avengers Man, has a whole speech about balance, I think it is really the most taoist movie of all time. At the end, they all loving die too which is super taoist.

Nah movies like Seeding of a Ghost are way better Taoist movies, Star Wars doesn't have triple fireball spell casting or a Taoist monk reflecting the triple fireballs back.

Hmm, you made me reconsider. Thanos was only seeking balance. Perhaps he had a Taoist motivation to bring enlightenment to a grateful universe.

most taoist movie is whatever happens to be on tv at the time, or what they are showing in theaters that day

any other method goes against the spirit of wu wei and distracts from the tao

Honestly they were fine until Batman 3. Its funny because Bane in the release is actually the improved version. In the original preview clip I saw, you literally couldn't understand one word he said. Batman 1 and 2, The Prestige, all his early movies sound completely legible and normal.
