>be a woman
>make a movie centered around violence
>confirm that you don’t know how to film violence so you just cut away from it most of the time just like you did in We Need to Talk About Kevin
Point still stands. Women directors are shit.

/tv/'s favorite movie is made by a woman. is this not a well established and well known fact by now?

FAT GIRL is great uncomfy creepy cuckino

Bigelow is the obvious go-to, but she's a pentagon propagandist too..

>Anon thinks this is bad for some reason.
Huh.

I can't believe I ever watched that. Though, some guy on here told me once that either he loves it, or it's his favourite movie (can't remember, but either way, he loved it) so each to their own.

Once is a stylistic choice. Twice is cluelessness.

It makes sense with the theme of the film. It isn't about the act, it's about the aftermath. It's living with the bodies and living with the knowledge that everyone blames you for what happened when you saw signs and no one believed you. And now you're a widow. I was thinking about this movie because of the bold choice not to work in a gun message. This isn't about tools, it's about killers. However, I didn't really deep dive in the movie so I didn't commit the director to memory. With the scope of the film, it makes sense it is hemmed by a woman.

Wasn't Meshes of the Afternoon the best feminist film ever? When did a 3 hour slogfest become the best movie ever when my film professor didn't even allude to it in 2018?

>>211969636
Is your film professor the authority on what films are good or not?

>>211969514
do you trot out the same criticism for haneke? someone who has more active contempt for his audience and the desire of violence?

>>211969735
Thank you for reminding me to watch Funny Games.

>It makes sense with the theme of the film. It isn't about the act, it's about the aftermath.
.............The aftermath of what, you nigger brain?
>Durrrr it's about consequences but you don't get to watch the precipitating events.
You shouldn't speak anymore. You're not cut out for personhood.

My thought is camera pans away and pans back to a cop with one less ear in Reservoir Dogs but they show a fella get shot in the stomach and he's bleeding out for a large portion of the film. I remember Quentin Tarantino films being seen as incredibly violent and hardcore for the mid-90s(mind you, the violence in Fargo was seen as shocking for 1995, maybe the cop scene more than the wood chipper scene,) but I had seen Peter Jackson's Dead Alive and other super gory genre films so I didn't see the big deal. Now in retrospect, it was because starting Evil Dead 2 of all films, the genre guys infiltrated the main stream until QT is accepting an award for making a script out of all of his favorite quotes from the B-movies and the comic books he consumed that inspired him to make the script in the first place.

>>211969735
That’s 1000 times worse. I’ll never understand the “contempt for the audience” thing. Makes no sense to me.

>>211969128 (OP)
this is literally a nothing movie

>>211969876
Define that. What makes a movie a something movie?

>>211969784
the whole movie is about having PTSD from being both a victim of and a perpetrator of violence, it cannot be any clearer with the intercuts between joaquin's memories of his childhood as well as being deployed in the middle east. if the movie reveled in its violence it would undermine its own point.

>>211969693
No but he was super autistic about movies and would bombard us with a lot of titles and directors. The weird thing was 1) he was so autistic that he assumed everyone in the world have seen certain films (example, he showed us Larger Than Life because he assumed we all saw Rebel Without a Cause and could discuss the films in terms of masculinity in Eisenhower's America,) and 2) he did not give a single fuck about actors.

It was the hardest 101 class in film history history. I would hand wave away the omission because his focus on 1970s cinema was the Hollywood Renaissance and the rise of the blockbuster changing the studio system and altering the big time for movies from the winter to the summer but we did a unit specifically on feminist cinema that spanned from silent era to Terminator 2 and this wasn't mentioned with the French. An autistic film analyst with tenure does not simply forget the best movie ever made.

>>211969812
I was literally thinking to myself when writing the post that "QT is the exception" because I had just watched Death Proof yesterday. But seriously, most movies either don't show acts of bloody violence or they downplay it. Stuff like the curbstomp in American History X is shocking because for once they show the whole thing. It's not obscured by anything or shot in a way where you can't see clearly what's happening.

>>211969784
Why do you have to see a psychopathic teenager hunt humans for sport with a bow and arrow? Why is seeing bodies with arrows sticking out of their backs not enough for you? The problem isn't the style choices of the director, the problem is that you're sick. Stick to your genre films.

>>211970077
1. That guy sounds like he'd give me a crazy headache after talking to him for two minutes, I don't know how you made it through the whole thing.
2. " An autistic film analyst with tenure does not simply forget the best movie ever made." There's no such thing as a "best movie" since best in terms of art is subjective.

>>211970218
If you truly loved kino, you could literally talk for him for hours. What would drive you crazy was his politics. His thing was "White people with advanced technology are bad" and "We need to become the Weimar Republic again." I laughed in his face because the Weimars lead directly to the Nazis because they were too weak to stop them and he started stuttering because he had honestly never thought of it. He just wants to be seen as special for retaining information.

The other thing is when he taught in Arizona, he tried to start a class that explored whiteness as expressed in film through the years that lead to the state banning studies on whiteness from state universities. But he was Jewish and thus not white so where the fuck does he get off? What would that fucker do if I started a class called Jewish Overrepresentation in Western Cinema and Its Consequences ? You know damn well, he'd bitch.

>>211970500
You just listed multiple reasons as to why he'd give me a headache, lol.
