anyone understand this movie? I couldn't because I'm dumb.

all I got was everyone's a fraud and our smartphones are making us less smart. Deep stuff ari.

It's a flex piece.

Rural and suburban retards fall for the Republican/ Democrat grift at the height of 2020 insanity and then the billionaire data center wins because they fell for the divide and conquer scheme

>>213804554 (OP)
Everyone lives in different realities mean to divide us created by algorithms, so that (((they))) can rule over us in the Judeo-Technocracy

The moral is, Ari Aster is deeply afraid of people and can't connect to a world of people driven by self interest. I think it's genuinely bold of him to share these stories (particularly this and Beau) in an era of "cringe culture" where everyone is supposed to be cool and have shit figured out. These movies remind me of Robert Crumb comics where it's like "okay, you didn't have to be THAT open about the inner workings of your mind," but I want away glad the artist did, and impressed by their technical skill.

I would also say that I don't think the movie is about* covid or politics in the way that Shawshank Redemption isn't about * the prison system, prison is just a backdrop against which the character study takes place.

>>213804554 (OP)
Big Tech == colonizers of the new age

Present Day Americans == blindsided savages of the new age

All the COVID/Left vs Right stuff in the film is a red herring, for the audience as well as the characters

The movie is about how big tech took over during the covid pandemic. Simple as.

It's garbage /tv/ rates highly because of the porn

Sound like generic modern day Americana.

its about a man so distracted by Twitter and Fox News that he barely notices when his wife absconds with a guru hippy cult leader.

Old white man sheriff authority figure is an unassuming reactionary who turns out to be a murderer who kills a political rival for a petty reason. It's basically doing the Frankfurt school authoritarian personality deconstructing white supremacy bit, if you've seen one movie like this you've seen them all.

That last super soldier freaked me out. He moved like he wasn’t human and his eyes looked the same

>>213804554 (OP)
It stayed pretty balanced and then made a huge left turn and basically condemned one side and became usual Aster perverse slop

Was surprised at how centrist this movie was desu even down to a retarded white woman causing all the BLM chaos because of her nog lust.

His best movie

>>213804554 (OP)
Well, I'm gonna have to view this thing so I can participate in the dialogue. Seems like it's leaving an argumentized impression amongst the left. Which definitely needs to happen.

>>213807561
It openly makes fun of the left for most of the run time, there’s a reason it was panned

>our smartphones are making us less smart. Deep stuff ari.
no they’re just making us schizophrenic and insane for the benefit of techfags that don’t care about humanity. Even le evil republican that murders people cared about people.

>>213807244
Ari is monitoring this thread right now.

why was he so mean to his "friend"?

>>213807575
What it's really making fun of is white people, both left and right.

>>213807894
He was a real piece of shit, was I supposed to care about what ultimately happened to him?

>>213808071
i don't think so. i guess i have empathy for anyone seeing their dad die right before them but yeah he was a douche

>>213807979
Yeah that one was for you cum guzzlers
Should have ended when he got stabbed in the head and the Rittenhouse bit. Would have been a much more solid movie but he couldn't leave well enough alone and had to Jew it up to the point where it became eye-roll worthy

>>213808114
His dad was an uppity tech slave faggot too, felt nothing for him. Just as I would feel nothing if Gavin Newsom met a similar fate

>>213808119
you are just angry that Ari showed your grift at the end of the film. Just blatantly showed the audience what chuds do.

>>213808164
You're talking about the Rittenhouse but I just said was fine to keep in the movie, learn to read cum guzzler
Take a note from the film
She's never going to fuck you mr. Antiracist beta bitch

im tellin you man, those were tech company androids.

>>213806688
yeah the way he calmly walked out and drew the knife was creepy

>>213808197
maybe you need to watch the ending again, your literacy of this film is pretty bad.

>>213805044
I guess all of the Floyd riots were just organic happenings, don't look at the money trail chud. We all worked together to put those pallets of bricks out in your neighborhood.

Pretty sure Joe only hit one guy in that entire shootout at the end

>>213808233
>Media Literacy
Go back

>>213808285
he blew the indians leg off

its a very powerful commentary on white people

>>213807524
That would still be Hereditary.

>>213808321
He also fell through the display with Geronimo's bones, that one was really quite a subtle metaphor for white people bad.

>>213805138
Corpo mercenaries posing as antifa/political agitators. They have left and right wing signs and patches in the jet.
Basically if Microsoft hired black water mercs to inflame an already tense area by attacking public officials posing as protestors from an opposite aligned political movement to draw attention away from the data farm they wanted constructed.
It’s Hegelian dialetic shit.

>>213808387
>It happened on STOLEN LAND
Can we just ban them from any federal grants ? Don't they have enough gibs?

>>213808387
I laughed in the theater when that happened.

>>213808400
This, the point was that both sides are being exploited and in the end the house always wins.

>>213808434
Ari still had to make the Sherrif into an actual cuck getting his ass wiped by a Mexican that's plowing his mother in law because he couldn't help his Jewish roots from showing

hey cool it with the spoilers.

>>213808285
yeah he definitely got one of them but weren't there only two? i forget. pretty cool scene

It was really funny when he's disabled and his nurse gets into his bed with his wifes mom and him

>>213808460
He also made the white cuck kid into a millionaire home owner with a hot gf who loves jome.

>>213808492
i thought it was weirdly funny when he smacks Joaquin and then immediately apologizes

>>213808460
or its even more retarded and he followed university of iowa workshop tier writing and couldnt let the protagonist just die

Lets Free Each Others Hearts

>>213808513
lol yeah, I do that to my dog sometimes. Get mad and smack him then feel bad immediately and give him love

>>213808547
him just dying would have been lame

>>213808547
He desperately needs a better editor
His films are overlong and stuffed with shit that should have gotten the axe.

>>213808547
He wanted to put the character through a humiliation ritual.

>>213808688
i rewatched it last night and yeah the beginning drags a little. the back half is pretty fine though

This movie was a slog.

>>213808690
Hence the Judaism
Imagine thinking you have a leg to stand on when your nation is starving children to death
Chutzpa before the fall

so typical a movie like this would end up having people saying DA JEWS on here

>>213808711
Jews don't believe in a universal morality, they think it's funny that you do. That's what the movie is mocking. The only thing they believe in is ethnic self-interest.

>>213807244
ari go away, 4chan not 4 u

>>213808700
i loved the begining with all the covid jokes

>>213808982
i'm glad this dude got a last drink in before what happened. got a good cough on joaquin too

>>213808861
Oh are Ari Aster and Joaquin Phoenix suddenly not Jewish?

>Da Jews
Leave that stolen land Settler

>>213809045
kek schizoid

>>213808867
Ari is a particularly nauseating Jewish stereotype
He cannot make anything genuine, he can only mock and be ironic
It's why he will never make anything worth anyone's time.

Hereditary will eventually have the same amount of respect given to the Babadook nowadays
Quite literally not worth your time or attention outside of the cheap shock slop

Just finished it, I'm glad Joaquin still enjoys starring as The Raped but this just felt like a step down from Beau Is Afraid.
The editing was schizophrenic, every time the tone took a shift I was just thinking "oh, okay..?"
COVID stuff was bound to happen eventually but it's weird to see it portrayed pretty neutrally here when it stops being a plot point after the first act. Felt like there were way too many ideas in the pot and Aster had to keep awkwardly changing gear to keep things engaging.
Genuinely laughed out loud at the "Firework" scene, the music is timed so perfectly for him to fight back and he just slinks away like a bitch

>>213809351
>Firework scene
some dude on reddit was one of the actors in that scene and they were told that the party goers should progressively get closer and closer to each other as the scene went on

>>213809351
>COVID stuff was bound to happen eventually but it's weird to see it portrayed pretty neutrally here when it stops being a plot point after the first act
that’s kind of what happened in real life when george floyd took over

>>213809531
Yeah I feel like a lot of us compartmentalized that year into thinking they weren't happening simultaneously. I'm sure that's what they want us to do. Remember all the "ok guys ...we all got a little crazy during COVID haha...but we should forgive and forget, y'know?"
Never forget the tyranny that side of the aisle wanted to force on the rest of us that's why this film still feels tone deaf.
I genuinely wanted the film to be a political rally satire movie. It would have been way better instead of the rug pull we got.

i like when he called the kid a fuckin faggot over the intercom on accident

>>213804554 (OP)
It's annoying having to listen to people on reddit say how Eggers took his career in the right direction with soulless garbage while admonishing Aster for taking a less commercial direction. There is no accounting for taste on reddit.

surprised there aren't more webms of this movie going around

>>213805138
>>213805044
similar

>>213810034
>The lighthouse is commercial

>>213810227
The idea is that Eggers is smart to return to safe horror with Nosferatu (which in reality is a demake) rather than do shit like the Lighthouse.

>>213808460
>>213808434
>>213808400
>>213807979
the way I interpreted the ending was a few ways

1. the sheriff was a bad husband and was making the wife worse. he loved and "cared" about her but he had her in the home alone with the old lady. she needed to find a purpose and go out. ( she had agoraphobia at first cured when she left)
she looked happy at the end .
he got "cucked" but she was sick and stuck.

2. he was evil and killed two innocent people and was going to frame an innocent black man. becoming a cripple was like karma or the universe doing justice

3. the evil nurse guy is just to show how evil and harmful nurses can be to cripples and old people.

>>213809351
>COVID stuff
I actually liked the way it was portrayed, like just as a minor detail, like the way Joaquin would cough every once in a while and I'd think
>Oh right, he has COVID
then the final chase and shootout where he's completely out of breath and wheezing because of that and his asthma. That final shootout had some nice sound editing too.
I thought the film also had a lot of attention to details, a lot of little setups/payoff, and was well directed. I might disagree with a lot of its underlying themes and messages, but there's good filmmaking there, and it does a nice job of building its own little version of the COVID-era world. There was something comfy about it despite the tension and anxiety surrounding the subject matter, which again parallels how COVID went in real life and how some people felt about COVID once it ended, a lot of the pro-mask, pro-lockdown people wanted to stay in that period forever.

>>213810321
Eggers has always wanted to remake Nosferatu. He did a play of it in college or someshit. So to paint it as a safe move is kind of ridiculous. Also Nosferatu really doesn't even have much cultural relevance here in the US. No one asked for it and he still delivered a very good film. Aster just keeps putting his Jewy neuroticism on screen and its getting more indulgent by the picture. This is like the bad Woody Allen shit. The only thing it's missing is his narcissism. Thank God Aster doesn't start in his own trash.

>>213810441
i guess this was supposed to be Aster's first movie and it was just a western but decided to make it in covid later on. probably why it's just taking place during that time but not entirely essential to the plot

>>213810488
>and he still delivered a very good film
lol

>>213810488
>Jewy neuroticism
kek
It's kind of become his trademark, all of his movies share that same anxiety tone

>>213810441
There are some people that still want to live in that world, still wear masks, still swear covid is just as bad.

>>213810379
That's not an interpretation. That's just what happened

>>213810034
They thought Aster was going to be like the jew jordan peele I guess but he’s really more like todd solondz

>>213810590
Oh yeah, you still run into mask people every once in a while and it's always a little weird, like seeing someone stuck in a different time. But then on the other end of the spectrum there are still people doing the
>two more weeks until mass vaccine dieoff
bit

>>213810215
>infinitely more retarded

JEWISH PROPAGANDA
COVID WAS FAKE
KIKES GOT RICH

>>213804644
>He thinks it's Black Rock

Very low IQ.

The more time away from it and the more I read the better it gets. STILL it's his most simple movie with not much going for it in terms of atmosphere, and by that alone it's at least tied with midsommer if not slightly above it.

>>213810688
I see them online occasionally and irl sometimes and they genuinely are insane. Boomers still obsessed with the vaccine death incoming are stupid and losers, but people still living in fear of COVID are genuinely insane people

Remember to use spoilers, guys. Why are you so many of you so fucking retarded?

Also absolute kino movie. Ari Aster's beat film so far.

>>213810860
good goy

>>213810379
Right but apparently somehow that's all tied up with him being reasonably frustrated by the dehuamnizing way people were being treated by hypocritical ladder climbing politicians who didn't even follow their own rules or make their friends follow the rules they made the peons follow?
Fuck Aster and fuck this film for equating those ideas to murder because little nebbish Jewish bitchboys like Ari were afraid to go outside without their mask but then at the same time kneeled for a criminal that ODd and took to the streets in massive numbers while parishioners were told they couldn't sing in the same room.
You and that slimy little worm don't get to rewrite history to suit your conscience. This is why you lost and are losing more ground culturally, daily.
I'm not even happy with Trump and the whole Israeli right but I am happy that you are afraid and suffering.

>>213810640
people calling him cuck made it sound like she did badly. and that he was unfairly punished. but she was miserable.
and trapped.

people complaining about the evil nurse made me wonder if there was something else going on

>>213810808
I'd rank it way above personally. I thought Midsommar was his worse and complete trash to be honest. Now how it ranks compared to Beau Is Afraid is more debatable for me. Beau Is Afraid benefits from not having the kind of underlying anti-whiteness that Midsommar and Eddington have, but I think Eddington has more memorable moments and is a more entertaining watch. if I had to pick one to rewatch tomorrow, I think I would pick Eddington over Beau Is Afraid, even though I haven't rewatched Beau Is Afraid since it came out and I just watch Eddington. They're so close they are almost tied though, but for now I'll go:
Hereditary>Eddington>Beau Is Afraid>Midsommar

>>213811029
>it sound like she did badly. and that he was unfairly punished. but she was miserable.
and trapped.
u sound like a bitch that cant bench 135 lbs

>>213810701
Yeah we never seem to talk about how the least affected demographic were Israelis. Kind of strange honestly...hmm

reminder that KIKES are losing the culture war. Right wing extremists are embracing both sides of the U.S. political dichotimy. jews are afraid.

>>213810664
No, you had him pegged right the first time. He's as subtle as Peele with his polemics

>>213810814
>>213810688
old people with masks I completely understand. pneumonia is deadly for them. it can kill u. I know they wear the masks because of COVID. but I understand their fear.
I don't blame them. old people don't go online as much and they trusted the news
old people might not even care about COVID anymore but just pneumonia.

young people with masks ARE A PSYCHOPATHS.

>>213810664
Agreed

>>213811029
>>213810379
If you ever worked as a caregiver you would know that shit like that happens. I did it for about two years. Never hit anybody or yelled at them but sometimes the people who you take care of act unruly because they are only used to having it their own way. It's hard on them that they can't do the things they used to be able to do, and it's more visible with older generations because they are used to putting their parents in a retirement home and just forget about them until it's their turn. The thing with Joaquin looked more like an involuntary spasm, but who knows. I'm thinking the guy isn't actually a real nurse or caregiver.

>>213807894
>that one lanky Hispanic kid every white kid knows, who is always a one-upping little faggoty shit with every little thing

I'm glad his ass got blasted (I had one of these growing up.) The real gravy at the end would have been if the girl Sarah was the white kid's gf after he'd turned into the successful right wing influencer

>>213811181
guess what buddy. the pneumonia death rate during covid was statistically insignificant when factoring age. "wear a mask to save grandma". u fell for that shit and u are dead to me kys

>>213811250
PUT YOUR MASK ON

>>213811064
What sucks about MIDsomar is that it has a lot of beautiful shots and and the whole cult thing is cool but it's botched by the rest of the film. Aster has even admitted that he was in a bad state of mind because he broke up with his gf, but it's shit like that where you cannot take your moping and angst on the current project. Dish out a kino and then find a way to cope. Cus otherwise it affects the project, and it affects your actors, and it affects your crew, and now here we are 100% in the belief that Midsommar is not just his weakest film but his worst film. A creative can have a weak film, but when people say it's his worst then there's something wrong.

>>213811064
Beau is just so weird and interpretive. There's a lot to chew on there. Even if its messy. Maybe I'm some hipster but that goes a distance for me.
Eddington might be more entertaining because its real easy to follow and its traditional in how the stakes gradually increase over the story. But the premise just wasn't incredibly interesting to me. Hereditary is for sure his best though

>>213811227
>He doesn't want to protect his grandma
Fuck off, kid.

>>213810664
I don't see much of a similarity between him and Solondz. Aster just rips off other jewish filmmakers wholesale, with every new film he picks a new one to ripoff. With Hereditary he was doing Roman Polanski, with Beau Is Afraid he was doing Charlie Kaufman and now with Eddington he's doing the Coen brothers. I don't know what that makes him, jew Quentin Tarantino? That's either him or S. Craig Zahler.

>>213811250
I look and sound like this.

>>213811301
I went in knowing that it wasn't going to be a straightforward horror movie. Beau was too fucking long. It's almost like 3 movies in one. So there's too much going on. But overall it was nice to watch. Like after how serious Midsommar was, Beau was basically hyper fantasy. It's definitely more psychedelic.

>>213811304
>>He doesn't want to protect his grandma
no i dont. now what

>>213811324
You’re describing influence and everyone you mentioned “rips off” older movies you don’t know about

>>213811267
The big issue I had with Midsommar was that it just generally did not work as a horror movie.

>>213811250
Was this supposed to be pro or anti-white?

>>213811324
you mentioned Coens in the thread last night but I didn't really get the connection. I love the Coens too

>>213808387
I didn't get that at all, to me it meant "small town America is next in line." Still framing everything as "le ytpipo stole land from the injuns" is exactly the distracted thudfuckery corpo banks on, since you're shitslinging each other while "solidgoldmagikarp" steals all your shit out from under both of you.

>>213809002
>"ALL THE BOXES ARE GONNA BE SA-A-A-A-A-AA-A-AND"

What did legendary actor Clifton Collins Jr. mean by this

>>213811399
Influence is just a polite way of saying ripoff. Now I'm not saying ripoff as a bad thing, I like filmmakers that are heavily influenced by other films, all those filmmakers I mentioned I enjoy their work and one of the things I enjoy about films in general is the referential nature of it.

>>213811227

you are either speed reading this thread or you are here to troll from /pol/

Republicans

Democrats

i thought maybe the boxes were the buildings and homes and that it'll all be gone soon. saying the world was gonna end

>>213810034
I like both of them

Emma Stone is such a shitty actress, my god
I don't like the Pedro over-casting either but at least he can do a decent performance like the one in this.

>>213811469
I don't know, to me it seemed really obvious, the small town America aspect reminded me of Fargo, as I mentioned in a previous thread I got a Lebowski vibe from a lot of different things, the shot of the bum coming into town reminded me a lot of the tumbleweed was one that comes to mind, then also the fact that it's a period piece that's set within the same decade the film was made and in both cases have an underlying political theme(Lebowski with the Gulf war and jewish involvement in the neoconservative movement and the left/right divide being reflected in the Dude/Walter, Eddington being more obvious) and Joaquin's performance also reminded me a little bit of Jeff Bridge's, maybe it was the quirkiness or maybe just the beard. I also saw a bit of No Country in there, obviously with the neo-western aspect of it. There's also that clip I saw recently:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-SWQGpe8pc
He talks about the Coens and how they don't like their characters, and obviously with Eddington there's a lot of that in there, I mean just look at what happens to Joe in the end.

>>213811581

@me 1 more time sar

>>213811362
Rude.

>>213811425
People have compared it to The Wicker Man. I can honestly say even the Nic Cage version is better than Midsommar.

>>213811429
Pro. They changed from hiding as Antifa to hiding as white supremacists (Brown mayor and son get killed, black guy got killed, they're going to use that as proof that a white supremacist group killed these people). So they basically raised up a white power golem to rise above the town. also does anyone know what the logo on the plane could be for? it's a hand basically grasping the world. I know some American spy group satellite has an octopus engulfing the earth, which people compared to the logo of Spectre, which are the bad guys in 007.

>>213811581
Both the reps and Democrats are the same in the movie. Like the other anon said, the zoomers are the ones really affected by it. The mayor was having a council meeting because of the data center btw. I also liked how there was a scene with a party because several celebrities and politicians were caught doing that shit and yet were preaching about social distancing and masks right before that

>>213811617
Could be. I need to watch it again but from reading the text I was thinking of coffins. Empty coffins filled with sand for peoole who died (Epstein).

>>213812378
stupid dumb fuck. has no reply. eat shit. asshole

>>213811826
Nta but if we can compare it to a Coen brothers it's definitely No Country for Old Men.

Also an anon pointed out last night that Daniel Clowes is one of the people that appears on the TV with the Elvis guy church people. This definitely has vibes like his comic Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron.

Daniel Clowes is the guy that created Ghost World, Art School Confidential, and Wilson, which all got movie adaptions.

Why do you care so much about what other people do that have no impact on your life in any way, shape or form? Stopped being obsessed with stupid bullshit and get a fucking life already.

>>213809101
I dont think the movie is ironic, I believe Aster identifies himself with the main character, despite portraying him with lots of bad qualities.
It's the same movie as Beau.

I'm still shocked by how much idgaf about this, after loving Hereditary so much. Aster needs to retire

they miss the bigger picture and just try to smugly post

it's called empathy you fucking psychopath.
it's called feeling sad for others you fucking piece of shit.
are you retarded or trolling? ever heard of compassion?
I see old people with face masks and I know they are terrified.

>>213814559
lots of words just to give off the impression that you are not a good person

nosferatu fucking sucked

>>213814504
kino scene. i guess he loves having pop music in his movies because he used a mariah carey song in beau but i don't remember that at all

>>213810034
yea hes probably the best director ATM. eggers proved to be a real dud

>>213813514
why'd they make her so freckly lol. reminded me of this actress

You're both missing A Serious Man. Sy Ableman is such an evident reference for Vernon. Both movies have a protagonist that's desperately trying to find stable footing in the 'mystery' while the whole world is rug-pulling him. Then they both get their comeuppance by the end after God put them on trial. Joe Cross kind of deserved it, while Larry Gopnik didn't particularly.

why did his conspiracy theorist mother-in-law become the spokesperson for the data center? thats whats really confusing me

>>213814728
you're not the guy from BB are you?

>>213810379
Are you me? That's also exactly how I too interpreted the movie between the lines as well.

>>213810701
fuentes is an FBI informant who baited his own supporters into a honey pot and then hosted an event AFPAC where he demanded everyone who attended dox themselves to him and later those people were all charged

>>213814749
I don't know what BB is. Why?
>>213814739
Her beliefs were shattered after seeing Vernon upend her daughter's marriage and believed that those feds were actually sent by Vernon to kill her. It's kind of the same as that kid who became a MAGA influencer, many people bend like reeds in a gale, rather than staying strong in what they thought were their convictions. I think there's something to be said about how everyone was caught up in the chaos while solidgoldmagikarp was operating right under their noses.

>>213807244
>end up a helpless cripple who watches your mother-in-law fuck a man in the same bed as you while your wife carries another man's child
>forced to read /pol/ posts for the rest of your miserable existence

>>213813125
ironically this post proves you were filtered

>>213814764
nah i think it's just a reasonable take. the rest of the movie is hairier to interpret

>>213814809
yeah makes sense. i watched it in two sittings. probably should've watched it in one

>pedro pascal
nope i have anxiety

>>213814578
all I said was that old people are probably really scared of any flu or respiratory illnesses and I can understand how they prefer to wear a mask

and I get two zoomer pieces of trash giving me shit just because I feel bad for old people?

After watching Hereditary and Midsommar as they released when I was longer I thought Ari Aster was kind of a meme, and I'm not a huge fan of Phoenix so I skipped Beau, and only watched Eddington out of curiosity, ended up loving it, watched Beau, loved it as well (as a movie about paranoia). Last night I got my hands on a Midsommar Director's Cut remux, and it was absolute kino. Will rewatch Hereditary next.
Didn't expect to turn into a fan of his work. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

>>213814728
its been a while since I watched a serious man. It did feel like the movie is being slightly blibical at times. Like the homeless guy is almost a blight on the town but not really. He clearly needs help but nobody knows how to help him, so this guy is almost like a prophet, as a rambling lunatic. Also like >>213811250
Feels like they erected a false idol. The screens show people scrolling through the net worshipping false idols. Somebody even mentioned that it looked like a demonic deity. Joe Cross is between being a good guy and a bad guy. At the beginning in the store. He helps with his wife's only hobby. He wants kids. I still feel like the homeless guy released on the town as the first sign of a plague and an instigation by people running the show.

Also can my thoughts about that final shot: was the data center progress for Eddington? Or was it really another excuse to hide a data harvesting site? It was built far away from the town. It might have opened jobs for the town. In some years, like most cities affected by a new Amazon warehouse or tech expansion (or casino lmao) it does open new jobs. Eventually new houses and stores and buildings might grow the town. Or is it a monument to the victors and a sign of evil? Is it a warning to be wary of these types of sites?

>>213814809
They weren't feds. Also I don't feel like the kid sold out. I think he form his 15 minutes of fame he decided to take it further and ended up becoming a popular online person without knowing what actually happened

>>213806218

Nah she's aight, watch The Curse.

Gotta wonder if the tattoo they gave her has any significance.

>>213816415
>you fell for stupid grifts from anonymous retards. Pathetic
Weird projection considering what how little I said. I was just in a younger state where I expected horror movies but they weren't really, now I realize that it was intended and that he's not a horror meme director.

>>213813768
The tech company is named SolidGoldMagikarp. Gold Magikarp is the shiny variant of the Pokemon from the video game. It is ultra rare. But also apparantley the phrase SolidGoldMagikarp would "break" chatGPT and make it output random shit. So does this tech company build data centers around the country to break the population?

>>213816438

>where I expected horror movies but they weren't really

>>213816566
Maybe she had it already? If she went spiritual hippy then it probably has no significance besides "DUDE MYSTICISM". Or cattle branding. Like there are reports of sex trafficked people getting tattooed or branded so people know who they belong to.

>>213816708
Looks like a fresh tattoo (very black)

>>213816696
I expected horror movies but they weren't, really*

so what about the new age guru? what exactly was his shtick? it seemed like he was just doing the typical evangelical preacher bit, capitalizing from the lockdowns creating all these lost and confused people
he was pretty much the only religious element in the whole movie, which seems odd because those small bumfuck towns are usually heavily religious

>>213817093
I think it's left ambiguous because the child sex abuse he describes is almost word for word taken from famous accounts in the dutroux sex scandal in belgium. I don't think it's innocent that they namedrop that country when he talks about the couple behind him.

>>213807244
>using windcuckows
>using chrome
totally unrealistic 4/10 for the effort

i really didn't think much of aster other than he was an interesting, competent and weird filmmaker, but this movie approaches masterpiece for me.
i rarely re-watch movies shortly after first viewings and this one was an exception.

this movie is the whole enchilada.

>>213805074
Same thing happened to the mayor

>>213804554 (OP)
No one's brought it up, but holy fuck. The sheriff getting slapped twice was one of the most humiliating things I've seen in a film. I was wincing in cringe, it made me actually sympathize with Joaquin's character when he got the kill even though at that point, he had completely lost it

>>213817613
The movie peaked for me there, it was so intense and I had genuinely no idea where the scene was going. The blaring Katy Perry somehow makes it more kino even though I never particularly liked that sort of music.

Eddington>Midsommar>Beau>Hereditary

GAR-SEE-YA

>>213817093
I think his child sex trafficking backstory is supposed to be bullshit

I have two rostie Korean friends, tatted all over like this and they look at me just like that.

they both blink asynchronously too. freaks me out every time.

Why are incels so obsessed with using big words they don't understand?

>>213819986
It’s a platonic metaphor, an analogy for Jungian psycho sexuality.

>>213805225
This. Ari aster is a piece of shit and all a24 films are slop

I didn't enjoy this film, but now that I see how hard it triggered chuddies it makes me wonder if I should give it another chance

>>213808244
This scene literally showcases the opposite tho...?

>>213819251
of course it's bullshit. That character is a clear reference to qanon tards

>>213820141
Indeed, he should have made a movie based on a comic book

>endless hollyjew shit whining about "rural america" and "small town america" and what they're potentially up to out there
>0 covering the avid insanity, stupidity, violence, conspiratorial wewuzzery and nonsense from inner cities and ghettoes

they can do whatever to try to hide their biases and intentions but it always shows in what they're interested in using as their setting or foil. The madness of 2020 flowed out from urban America to the rest, not in. It was a story of mass urban collective insanity led by women and niggers and the rest of us were moreso a curious/disturbed audience than participants in this shit.

>>213820706
bill gates nanorobots in vaccines and qanon were also led by "women and niggers"?

Can I just say it? This movie was boring. Nothing happened at all for the first hour and the pay off wasn't worth it. What a waste of time.

>>213820872

None of that had any real effect on anything. There were obviously BLM marches and covid hysteria driving all of the major formative changes of 2020, you are cherrypicking random irrelevant curiosities.

>>213820939
>qanon satanic panic
>vaxx conspiracies
>random irrelevant curiosities
imagine being this much of a chud, holy shit lmao

>>213820961

Yeah remember all of the laws that got passed because of Qanon and "vax conspiracies" that were simple reactions to actual vax mandates

>>213820706
See, this movie steers convo towards the demographics that are guilty of sowing chaos, not the power structure most capable of giving orders/mandates or funding chaos against the pre-2019 socioeconomic order. Mass media had more power sowing fear + giving orders, but Aster sticks to online influencers as the threat.

>>213820987
>that were simple reactions to actual vax mandates
so you can be an even bigger chud, kek, didn't know it's possible

>>213821028

I'm not shy about being a chud, you're all fucking retarded and insane, and 2020 was the last straw ironically. I just said the rest of non urban America was mostly reacting and watching in curious/disturbed states and then you mentioned "conspiracies" which were a reaction to vax mandates from urbanites.

>>213821006
joe rogan is mainstream media. Online influencers are mainstream media. They have more views and much bigger influence than traditional media

>>213804554 (OP)
tl;dr is that if you're just a regular guy and question the narrative, no matter how ridiculous, you are susceptible to chud media and will fall down the alt right pipeline and suffer for your sins in chud hell. very jewish, maybe more than Midsommar

>>213823861
>you are susceptible to chud media and will fall down the alt right pipeline and suffer for your sins in chud hell
its true
