What's so soulful about wanting to (emotionally) cheat on your spouse at the first opportunity? Is infidelity something you find romantic and inspiring?
Blue Valentine
Nothing really sticks to the mind in this shallow attempt at portraying "alienation." Yes, Bill Murray is cool and witty, Scarlett Johansson is gorgeous, the music is good and Tokyo looks otherworldly, but you can't hang your movie on these surface pleasures without any real ideas or vision and have it succeed as much more than banal eye candy; designer alienation, ennui chic™.
When it comes to painting such themes with actual emotional or intellectual heft, let's just say that Coppola is no Antonioni or Kar-Wai (two of her self-professed influences). This is a superficially pretty but achingly dull and empty film with nothing of substance to express, and I can only suppose its mass appeal rests largely on the shimmering city, mediocre songs and lead actors it captures, all of which impart a certain built-in pathos mostly separate from the text of the film itself.
This is ITMFL for plebs. Nobody actually likes this film, they just like to be seen liking it.

I actually like it and I think you're dim.
An escape from doomed relationships only maintained through denying emotion? It's the most soulful thing imaginable.

In the Mood is better than all of them.

The thing that makes LiT a classic is the love story contained in everything you’ve mentioned as “surface pleasures.” Am I really supposed to believe you missed the point of the entire movie even after this long winded pseud reply?
>satisfying to your weebish sensibilities
>soulful
agreed
This made me mad but its actually because it's correct
For LIT vs ITMFL anyway
Scarlett Johansson mumbling her way through a movie is not soulful
ITMFL is a masterpiece but it has a different feel to LIT, they're both great but display the same theme in a different way
