There are actually people who think Burning had anything more than the most mild element of mystery in its story...

As though the film had anything else going for it

>It's ambiguous so it's the best of all time!

Yeah there's nothing else at all, no visual narrative no characters no editing no nothing, it's just a collection of wikipedia plot points am i rite my dear crossposting tourist tripfag

>capeshitters first arthouse

Nothing interesting enough worth mentioning
>The film had characters, give me an 8/10!

But please, tell me specifically what you found interesting about the movie.

heh

It's a character study through and through, a suspensful one at that.
Decent film.

This.

it's a high 6

>character study
Hack shit

Should be titled BORING instead

I thought it was great. IT really left me with same feeling of emptiness I got from actually living in South Korea.

A strange ambivalence permeates that country.

yeah Taxi Driver is such hack shit am i rite fellow discordtrannies

Taxi driver had something going for it beyond 'it was a character study', but by 'discordtrannies' your brain's probably too rotten to think straight

And how doesn't Burning have anything else going for it?
If I were a brainlet pleb I could literally make the same (non) argument about Taxi Driver aswell.

The themes or the ways in which they're presented aren't anything new or interesting (rich nihilistic youth, lower class being screwed over by upper class, etc.)

The ambiguity added little
Nothing special about the acting or characters.
Visually, there were a couple of nice frames (pic related)
Movie easily went on for 30 minutes too long

Taxi driver had great acting, an innovative ending, interesting characters and other elements. These created a much more interesting study of alienation and desire.

These are such empty criticisms

ironic post

I was quite disappointed by the ending to be perfectly honest.

MC didn’t seem like he had much to live for anyway but I struggle to interpret as many deep inferences and meaning as others who have watched it.

The Wailing is vastly superior at building tension. This felt like masturbation without the payoff.

especially given the copious number of masturbation scenes

i really liked the scene in the middle where they chill out at the guy's place and the lady does her dance as evening falls
peak comfy

Lmao the incel is the serial killer, he's the bad guy of the film, that's the point of the movie

The movie doesn't suggest this at all, unless you can show otherwise

The short story really implies Ben is a killer. But the movie double downs on the mystery and paradoxically makes it much more uncertain. I think movie Ben did nothing wrong, unlike his book counterpart

He forgot the worst of all

>Lynchian

The movie practically drowns you in suggestions that Ben has caused a sudden disappearance, with the 'burning' suggesting a
>I enjoy burning down abandoned greenhouses
>girls he meets are abandoned and aren't growing
>I burned one just a couple of days ago
>very, very very near to you
>sometimes we don't notice that which is right in front of us
>haha it's like she disappeared """"in a puff of smoke"""
>that he's clearly a sociopath
I can even forgive the cat and the hidden mementos. There's no guarantee, but the movie points heavily in this direction.
