>pseudointellectuals pissed and shit themselves over this

Lighthouse, joker, once upon a time in Hollywood. Crazy to think I actually went to a theater 3 times in one year.

Name five films that you think are intellectual

>>211962445 (OP)
It was a cool flick, I liked the aesthetic.

>>211962572
There aren't any. That's the point. Picture films are not educational. Only an American would think so.

>>211962639
What a jerkoff you are. Name 5 books then

>>211962685
Sir, this is Television & Film

>>211962639
Truth fucking NUKE. This would be like playing video games for the cinematics. Seeking depth in the medium of moving pictures is stupid.
>>211962639
Any books? Naming 5 dickens novels wouldn’t do anything in this conversation. I could also intentionally name 5 niche academic works but that would just be sophistry.

Need more lighthouse kinos. Only other I can think of is cold skin which admittedly isn’t amazing but I really enjoy.

>>211962445 (OP)
Based. Eggers is a complete midwit who makes slop.

>>211962639
This.

>>211963279
I liked The Vanishing

Movies have always told stories
If you just want "moving pictures" then I have just the website for you

I just think the movie is cool because its funny and weird

>educational
Intellectualism is not something "educational". An alphabet book is educational, it ain't intellectual.
What films aren't is being philosophical as in actually being able to form new philosophical concepts and systems, this requires a lot of text and specifically literary engagement. Films can only reference philosophical concepts. But philosophy is not the only intellectual activity. An intellectual movie would be the film in which you yourself need to engage with actively to fully find enjoyment in. Be it a movie that is all about translating very specific emotions through images where you need to tune yourself into a specific mindset, or be it films which are dialogue oriented and require you to actually listen to what is being said. Or both at once.
Saying that, Lighthouse is not especially intellectual. It's a straightforward downward spiral into insanity movie with a very in-your-face aesthetic. Not much tuning in has to be done. It really is just a mainstream movie in terms of pacing and base techniques to engage the viewer except it's stripped of "plot". Which is for the better as it would only distract from everything else and just make the film a slog. The film isn't bad, it's good for what it is, but yes - not intellectual. Eggers does seem like someone who wishes he could make something actually challenging like Alexei German Sr. movies or Bela Tarr. But being American he is too afraid of what normalfags would think.

>>211962639
he said intellectual not educational, those are two different things

>>211963764
And I mean movies can obviously be educational. What an absurd position to take. I often learn more from movies than books. What a pretentious load of crap.

>>211963807
yeah i guess that anon is not an intellectual, he should get educated

t. Spilled his beans

>>211962561
and they were al shit

>>211962445 (OP)
love this movie
had a lock-in watch party with one of the lads on a stormy night getting drunk off rum
10/10 kino experience

>>211964141
>lock-in watch party
is that the one with the cock cages

>>211964159
no its where we get all the necessary supplies and watch kino, if you leave you can't come back
movies and gay sex, nothin beats it

how do you not love the lighthouse for the atmosphere alone? its one of the most immersive movies released this century, top tier escapism

>>211962572
Not him, but I will add some I think would fit:

Tree of Life
2001: A Space Odyssey
Solaris
Paris, Texas
The Thin Red Line
Hiroshima, Mon Amour
Before the Rain
Mulholland Drive
Wings of Desire
Stalker
Eraserhead
Million Dollar Hotel
A Clockwork Orange
Eyes Wide Shut
End of Evangelion
Fallen Angels
Blade Runner
Brazil
Infernal Affairs Trilogy
Metropolis
It's Such a Beautiful Day
The Wind Rises

Damn ye

>>211962445 (OP)
Hey it's
>I liked this movie then it got popular and I have made nothing of my life so I'll seethe thread
Depthful and Niggly is the faggotness of OP

>>211965154
>evangelion
Can't believe I had to read this far before realizing you were baiting. Anime as intellectual. What a joke. Weebs need to start being shot and publicly hanged.

>>211963616
Based movie enjoyer

>>211962445 (OP)
i dislike this movie

>>211965388
I don't hold anime as unique and above all other nations' cinematic output, I just watch what appeals to me same as any other genre or style. I'm not the Hong Kong equivalent of a "weeb" because I love Wong Kar Wai.

>>211962445 (OP)
imagine getting bellcurved when is actually just a monster movie

>pseudointellectuals pissed and shit themselves over this

>>211967158
Really? What kind of monster?

>>211962445 (OP)
Eggers is a fucking hack

>>211967709
It's heavily implied Dafoe is in the mob.

>>211962445 (OP)
what's pseudointellectual about fucking Lighthouse you faggot? It's a cozy atmospheric kino at a stranded island.

>>211967709
dafoe's giant dong ( he is horny )

Thomas did nothing wrong
