seriously, Refn ?

Wasn't bad, more of Refn's style over substance crap.
Does it get better?
What the fuck you mean by substance if you did watched 1/10 part of the whole thing
You know nothing. Turn back now or prepare to get your expectations subverted.
Who is the girl that Martin saved in the ep5?
Some random ho.
only watched episode 1 and not much has happened but my god didn't realise that was myrcella from GOT she's one of the few that haven't been JUSTed
There won't be season 2, right?
How can there not be season 2? Amazon gave a flop like Patriot a season 2, I don't see how this wouldn't get one.
You gave me hope, friend
This is pure distilled kino by the way, unironically.
>in english bitch
Jesus best boy
>why was Hideo Kojima in it?
friends with the director
was shilling Neon Demon heavily when that was new
>Amazon gave a flop like Patriot a season 2,
that was before the diversity head of nbc programming took over amazon
Absolutely worst part of anything refn has done.
Because Refn will probably not want to do a TV season again instead of a new movie and it would be pointless without him. Directing an entire season is a lot of investment for a single director.
Well, TOTDY was pretty diverse until they killed all the niggers.
maybe watch the entire season first user
So basically the two most powerful women in the series are both willing to do good things but in their ways?
Are both willing to purify the world*
Fixed myself
explains this?
who is the actress who played Donna in the first episode
There is absolutely nothing like this show. Love it or hate it this show is distinctfully unique
I must say that the fisting song was a bit on the nose for me.
Police is serving for Fascism
What the fuck was that ending?
>Yaritza shoots up some spic bar
>expect the next scene be her heading to the blonde bitch
>abruptly cuts to credits
>realize the episode is only 30 mins long
What did Refn mean by this? I thought it was just a limited miniseries, is there gonna be a second season?
Just finished the season.
I hate to say it, but I've lost my respect for Refn as a director. He has absolutely lost the fucking plot. They gave him a large budget and total control to make what he wanted. And the end result?
A hilariously self-indulgent montage of slow pans, ever-present neon lights, le spooky synth music, cardboard characters, political cringe, and meme-tier dialogue. If you thought the ending sucked, you're right. In the words of Refn, "we basically just kept shooting until we ran out of money." What an incompetent nigger. Refn is incapable of subtlety, self-control, and humanity.
The subject of choice for most of the 14 hour fiasco? Pedophilia, rape, incest, witchcraft, necrophilia, drugs, human trafficking, deception...and the list goes on. In this world of staggering perversion and brutality, beauty is the only value, and "fascism" is the true evil. What a joke.
I'm far from a prude. American Psycho is one of my favorite films, for fucks sake. But everyone knows that artistic license only goes so far.
When a character in Neon Demon (a film I actually found interesting) quips that "beauty is all that matters," I took it as satire. However, it seems this is how Refn really feels.
Expectations = Subverted
cops sing about fascism and jesus in episode 4
pretty sure it was the model Taylor Hill.
Gonna watch episode 6 tonight, hyped that it has Jesus coming back to LA, I know a lot of people didn’t like episode 2 but I liked the cartel family shit
Thanks guys. White power
I'm gonna give a drive-by post just to say it's incredible.
I'm only 2 episodes in, but it's not hyperbole to say this redefines television. The second episode is considerably better than the first too, imo.
Consider the "golden age of television" circa 2010 roughly. Critics and audiences were super impressed because television finally seemed to care about shot composition, lighting, impressive set-pieces etc etc. Sure, there were shows like Sopranos, The Wire and the rest that were considered great. But they were far from the rule or the norm. We started getting a lot of shows that drew in audiences in the same way films did with the same sort of spectacle.
(I'm talking about Dexter, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Masters of Sex, Boardwalk Empire etc)
But the thing is, all those shows were still very much television shows. They still followed the same formula of dialogue dialogue dialogue, action, dialogue dialogue. They just told more interesting stories with bigger budgets.
Too Old To Die Young is impressive because it goes so much further. It's not unusual to have a ten second static shot of a guy leaning against a wall with flashing lights and almost no sound. The sort of thing you normally only see in indie arthouse films, you're consistently seeing in this show.
I can't quite call it a 13-hour film as Refn does because it still divides too neatly into episodes. That is, each episode has a clear beginning, middle and end. But it's definitely not anything I've ever seen done in television before.
it all goes downhill from there, honestly not worth it
Whose a bigger hack, Lynch or Refn?
>The sort of thing you normally only see in indie arthouse films, you're consistently seeing in this show.
So 13 hours of Refn pretentious neon bullshit of red and blue lighting with strobe lights.
Great to know I'll have to apply the 3 ep rule like never before.
What did Refn and Kojima mean by this?
What am I looking at? Is this some kind of hollow moon / flat sun conspiracy theory I don't know about?
Oh so this is pasta now got it
Who's the bigger pleb, you or OP?
I am the OP.
style IS substance
too sneed to feed chuck
the show dropped off a steep cliff as soon as Martin got his death sentence. everything after is pure shit and cringe-tier political bullshit. Refn's only strength is beautiful, silent, autistic leads and now he has none.
You forgot to mention the biggest reason why television finally got good: everyone dropped the 1-episode story bullshit and went with full season-to-season continuity.
Refn is also in Death Stranding for some reason.
Hacks gotta keep together.
Also did anyone notice all the episodes are named off esoteric Tarot cards? The Hanged Man, the episode where Martin dies, is this:
>It depicts a pittura infamante (pronounced [pitˈtuːra iɱfaˈmante]), an image of a man being hanged upside-down by one ankle (the only exception being the Tarocco Siciliano, which depicts the man hung by the neck instead). This method of hanging was a common punishment at the time for traitors in Italy. However, the solemn expression on his face traditionally suggests that he is there by his own accord, and the card is meant to represent self-sacrifice more so than it does corporal punishment or criminality.[citation needed]
>In other interpretations, The Hanged Man is a depiction of the Norse god Odin, who suspended himself from a tree in order to gain knowledge. There is also a Christian interpretation that portrays Judas Iscariot, and include the bags of silver in his hands.
Is it true that you can rape people in America if they have signed a waiver?
Refn beats the american hack Lynch any fucking day of the week. Lynch films are stupidly abusrd and only brainlets who like to think they're patrician think lynch films are good.
No, but that sure fooled that dumb fag
This show has made me realize that I don't actually like Refn's work, but that I'm just able to tolerate it for 2 hours at a time. This is just fucking 13 hours of long panning shots.
Just finished episode 8. I cannot believe that just fucking happened. Gona wait until tomorrow to watch the last two, I need time to digest 4-8 I guess.
Well I guess del taco fits in well.
Yes, everybody who has a functioning brain and looked at the titles noticed this. Tarot card titles are not some obscure thing.
The show is so fucking amazing visually and the story is interesting enough for a style over substance thing, but we really need to know if there's going to be a season 2 or what that was really supposed to be: a show? A 13 hour long movie? Just some streaming experiment? Some sort of answer would be nice so fans of it can actually determine whether or not to get our friends into it.
He was a good cast. Looking forward to seeing him perform in Dune.
His voice was really great because it wasn't what you expected at all every time. His last scene was good too
think to those people that are truly in Los Angeles, who never leave Los Angeles, who are apart of the "entertainment industry", that his is very much their world, this is very much their experience, and this is very much their fears.
Im sure to people who are sodomites, child traffickers, rapists, casting couchers, mutilators, coke addicts with Cartel friends, that "Nazi's" and "white men" would inexplicably and irrationally seem like the "bad guys" and the bringers of Armageddon, because one day, perhaps soon 'right wing death squads' or 'literally nazi's, or "literally Hitler" is going to come for each and every last one of these type of people, and burn them from the earth with a fire.
Clearly though, they are having some sort of existential crisis in LA culture, and are at least cognizant that what they do is eventually going to have a severe consequence for them.
I think this show very much shows how the left, liberals and hollywood elite's worldview distorts completely their perception of reality. In their world, if something is beautiful, if something is photogenic, it is "GOOD" it has "value" and therefore should be praised.
Consequently, (and there is even someone literally preaching about 'fly-over states' and they are a rattlesnake that will eventually come for them, because they have been stepped on too many times) someowhere inside they must know they are infact the evil of the world. A Nazi would be very scary to someone engaging in the behavior leftists engage in.
The show starts off well enough: a meditative look at masculinity and masculine hierarchies. You see Martin diving into murder, sexual power, and bloodlust, and you see the operation of the cartel. But these forces: the vigilantes, the police, cartel and mayates, ultimately destroy each other without much ado. The series then becomes about the feminine, the spiritual, and the chaos that reign after order falls apart.
do episodes 1,5,9. These are the best. you can basically understand the whole series in these episodes
Episode 10 is good because it's short and mostly about cute girls doing cute things.
This shit will get pulled from Amazon once the greater public sees what is going on here.
>tfw you are gay cartel hitler, who does full Mommy-incest sim sex on your cartel ranch, and Yaas QUEEN jacks you off, literally shows her cum splattered hand to the camera, then fists your mouth with it untill you gag on screen, and wipes the rest on your chest.
This is an actual scene btw.
Style is everything, retard.
episode 10 is essentially an epilogue, and centers around Diana's nihilsm speech.
its how liberals view the end of their world
>couldnt get the whole thing
Were the alien references a red herring or an actual plot point?
Refn has great ideas that he can't finish. Typical autism/adhd spectrum.
Diana tells a story about aliens vaguely suggesting she had some sort of encounter with them, or that the "beings" in her dreams are infact aliens, and who are responsible for turning her eyes into that wierd shit in ep.9
>beauty is the only value, and "fascism" is the true evil.
Is this really the message of the show lmao, someone spoil it for me. I mean, even if you hate fascism it holds aesthetics in higher value than most ideologies.
Truly, TOtDY is so obscene, so far beyond any and all decency, its almost surreal. If you were to show this at a baptist church, the next day they would have this escalated to the national government for review. Its that bad.
how this made it onto a massive streaming platform is almost inconceivable. If it were not for the overt scenes of literal Nazi bashing, it would be pulled.
even farther, obscene evil is ok, so long as whoever is committing it is beautiful.
Martin and Vigo only target ugly people. Uglyness is murdered and mutilated with passion in TOtDY. all characters value is based on their ability to suck, fuck, rape or mutilate.
Yaas queen lady death princess is constantly reminded of her beauty. she has a song sung about how beautiful she is, when she mutilates and murders men.
The entire message theme is raw animal behavior, good looking animals rip and tear eachother to pieces, fuck them in every concievable hole, rape or not, incest or not and the only 'bad guy' all the factions can agree on are the Nazis. All the factions target Nazis and white men.
One of the characters even goes into a monologue about the swastika and its power as a magic symbol.
yaas queen is ok with child sex trafficking, untill they are trafficked to white men/nazi's (who literally bring nazi flags to hotel rooms i guess) She doesnt do anything about it untill they are trafficked to white men nazi's, because evidently you can actually find those in LA.
gay mexican hitler even gives a speech about his decision to "exterminate the world" because of his link to the "blood and soil" of mexico/America (episode 9)
No one has been stupid enough to do something like this before. Wow it's art!
The police literally Screech "FASCISM" and "FAKE NEWS" over and over and over, and various other "Trumpisms", for what purpose, who knows. The are depicted as utterly incompetent, fat white males, too deeply involved in cornball office bro-culture to actually do any work. Martin in his detective office is an actual cartoon.
not many people can have an actual pedophile be the protagonist, depict obscene rape, child trafficking nonchalantly and make gay sodomists into compelling tv.
anyone else would be in trouble for making this, and i still believe there will be some sort of repurcussion when the world at large realizes the type of smut this show is. It goes so far beyond anything you can imagine, its absurd.
>mommy please suck my cock i was a goodboy at school and sold my 8-balls at lunch
and then it happens, and this is actual dialogue from the show. The casting couch scene would make a baptist vomit.
who is this julius caesar lookin ass dude
>theres no smoking on school grounds
>long pause
>spits on the ground.

Say the magic word, Yea Forums.
This show is exactly what Refn fans deserve. People who jerk off pointlessly indulgent slow scenes because slow pacing automatically makes something artistic, neon lighting, 'minimal' dialogue and story, and to top it all off vapid occult symbolism that certain types of people latch onto as being incredibly deep and profound. This show is nothing but 13 hours of that over and over.
damn, all you gotta do is spit in front of a girl and they'll come to you?
>People who jerk off pointlessly indulgent slow scenes
More like people who indulge in pointlessly slow jerking off scenes.
I've managed to fall asleep during every episode. Does that make me a pleb?
it really, really wears thin after about the 6th or 7th episode. There are dozens of scenes, each episode that take 45 seconds to a minute to pan ankle to head on a character for no reason, no pay off. A great deal of the runtime of this series is slow panning shots to nothing or of nothing. You multiply that by 10 or 12 per episode and thats 20 minutes right there just panning.
You think im joking, but watch this shit and you will see.
If you didn't get lost in a show that well filmed I have some bad news for you.
How many times did they do that shot where the camera slowly rotates a full 360?
Little Billy obviously had the better taste in music
That's not the point, though. The point was which music was more suitable for an intense car chase.
Episode 8 fucked me up. Brilliant, I was wondering how he was gonna top cutting off Ryan's hands in only god forgives
*Rats instantly*
Not enough
And it was mandy. The show needs to be seen just for that too short car chase
I'd say Little Billy was in the wrong since he wasn't the one driving
Damian is a piece of shit, and sold Martin out like a coward nigger. Whether or not It was Martin or the black guy that shot Magdelana, Damian was responsible.
Similar vibes.
Wasn't cool of him. Weren't the Mexicans already notified about Martin at the end of episode 1?
I will say though, the episode ( i think 7 or 8) where the Mexicans each pay another Mexican beneath them increasingly lower sums of money to shoot the nig is hilarious, and probably about as authentic to real street behavior as it gets
Mexican A
>ill pay you 6 thousand to shoot a nig
ok ill do it, goes down the street to mexican B
>ill pay you 2 grand, half now and half after, to shit this nig
ok ill do it, goes down the street to mexican C
>ill give you a 100 dollars and a crack rock to shoot this nig, and 100 more dollars when you get back
OK, goes and shoots the wrong nig.
Absolute KINO, and the nig zombie dance is kino
We never got to hear Alfonso's new song.

They're all pleb. Tarot and astrology and all that shit is for women. Occult in general is for larping fags.
KEK!

the slimy porno ep was something worth exploring because it perfectly straddled the line between absurdity and reality, like Lynch. that it would make a baptist vomit is the point and (potentially) powerful if Refn had fleshed it out instead of making it some sort of self-contained generic TV episodic. still, ep5 was the best of the series.
how disappointing was Damian's safehouse massacre, where it took minutes to pan down just to see... 2 dismembered hands. bravo Refn
Would have been perfect if he buried that prick alive
What pretentious bullshit. It's like a car accident you can't look away from or some other tragedy that your mortality forces you to continue to observe long past the point of understanding what you're seeing in case you can learn someway to save yourself from a similar fate.
Also white people bad. How droll.
The "Damians hands" reveal was borderline parody. The longest "BWOWWWWWWWW pan" of the series.
its like watching an incestual rape, over and over and over, and then killing the people doing it.
For real though, how long before it gets removed from Amazon?
I dont think the "kill all Nazis" stuff will be enough to save it.
Are there any reviews out yet talking about how brave cross dressing anal butt rape with the whip you used to kill your lover/mother's murderer with is?
I Got Fucked Up The Ass With The Whip I Used To Hit A White Man - Here's Why That Matters is solid journalism
critics don't actually view all episodes of a series before writing their review. so it won't happen until word trickles down and we get """journalists""" writing articles
the real crime is how plain looking Yaritza was. also all the mexican actors except the Don and Alphonso were awful
i think getting mouth fisted untill you gag with a cum splattered hand was worse.
please somone make webm of the cum hand mouth fisting
this was legitimately embarrassing, it was a total 4th wall break and all I could see is snickering Hollywood fags behind the camera
or
>FAKE NEWS FAKE NEWS FAKE NEWS
the funny part is, when one of the characters muses that "the flyover states are like a rattlesnake, if you keep stepping on them, they are going to inject you with lethal venom" (this may be something Vigo is listening to on the radio)
at least somewhere deep down, hollywood and liberals knows what is coming to them, and knows it will be lethal, with finality to their way of 'life'
lmao u wall eyed fucks. those cops were idiots, hence them being on the nose liberal faggots. GET IT? christ, it wasn't subtle at all.
Bump
WTF I love Ted Cruz now?!
The lead actor is actually Grayson Allen
>martin is every manchild that thinks the driver is epic and just like them
Based Refn shitting on Drive plebs again
Reminder that there are rich Jews sitting on piles upon piles of children's bones reading these threads and laughing at us
Why do you always project the behaviour of liberal capitalists onto leftists? They are a lot closer to the right than they are to the left, lip service to social liberalism aside.
has anyone else started pouting all the time like jesus and spitting like martin
Is it actually worth sticking it out to watch this? First episode was barely tolerable but interesting. Second episode felt like an actual fucking direct insult to me as a viewer from Refn as a director. Never have I ever seen such a deliberate fucking WASTE of time
im finding the lack of tiger pics to be disconcerting
hollywood culture is left wing, capitalism is a tool and like any tool can be used for good and bad things.
now no one would say that capitalism is working, because it isnt. what we can discuss is why.
the pacing for this is atrocious and the dialogue is so bad. does it get any better past episode 1?
pleb filtered
just move on, bro
i don't mind slow paced things, but i do mind when they're done poorly
>He hasn't suffered through the cartel scenes yet
Hahahaha
>spits in your path
Those are some of the best scenes he's ever filmed though
i cannot say im a fan of the guy after seven and a half episodes of this.
it is just too much. ironically, it is not even that graphic. but is there, trought artsy fartsy lens.
child pornography, human trafficking, hardcore pornography, drug dealing, incest, pedophilia, all the time, no time to breathe, no character to relate to, everyone and everything is so... fucking... autistic, alienated, detached.
NRF creates this simulacrum of reality were everthing is perverse and everyone is disgusting.
its like true detective or twin peaks without any charm or humor or logic - no even real world logic, but internal logic.
nwr must be a despicable person. and i need shower.
I bet Chapo hates this show. They hate cops.
another problem: literally no person ever would look at the guy and the girl and think he was with a minor.
if that was the intention, they should look for an actress that really REALLY looked younger and for an actor that really REALLY looked like a man - teller does not have a fucking beard, theres not even shade of a beard, he has the body of a teenager.
also cannot get how could they fucked up so bad with the mexican couple. the woman is normal and he tries to sell her like the some sort of prime salma hayek and the guy looks like a gay midget.
how could you spread the word of a streaming show with an euro fag cult director on amazon and not get some really hot and talented latinos? IN FUCKING LA, FFS.
pathetic.

How do I watch this?
this show is the purest form of pleb filter
I'm a woman and i didn't get it
I wonder if Amazon is anticipating the outrage this series is going to generate? It IS a high-dollar Amazon original with a decent cast, but it's nowhere to be found on the main page. You literally have to search the website to find it.
what was controversial about it?
Have you watched the whole series yet?
just finished it, but im out of touch with reality. what would normalfags find controversial about it?
What's up with people complaining about the style of the show? Have you never seen OGF or what? Have you never seen films by Tarkovsky or Tarr? It's like people complaining about TP season 3. They wanted something like season 1 and season 2 but it was pretty clear that it won't be that and that it will be more like Inland Empire.
The best scene of the whole season so far. I haven't seen the last 2 episodes yet.
nigga regular people don't care about refn that's why there's no fucking outrage about anything.
All the /pol/ brainlets screeching over this show has convinced me to watch it now. If you only liked Refn for Drive and hated OGF then your opinion isn't valid.
to add, if you want outrage then watch Euphoria. there's already people crying about the nudity and sex in it and apparently it's going to get worse
All the Fascism chanting and post Fascism chanting cop scenes were pure cringe. And Viggo's last hit against the trailer park was also cringe of the highest purity.
When compared to the absolute transcendence of the rest of the episodes...I just don't get it. I mean...was he being ironic? Was he being ironically ironic? Does the Trump Derangement Syndrome even affect truly great artists in the middle of their magnum opus?
What's your favourite auteur driven TV show or miniseries. My is pic related.
>main character killed off screen
bravo refn
>The absolute barrage of muh style over substance, muh slow pace, and muh over indulgence pleb posts ITT
Makes me wonder how many of them even watched OGF or ND and if they disliked both literally what did they expect.
>Martin hitting that 16yo pussy
based
These. What the fuck did people expect?
This. Tarot card are for middle aged women who think they are witches. lmao
>pans so long you forget the plot
thats why the '10 hours movie meme' is retarded.
doing something for 10 hours if different than doing it for 1h45. simple as that. you gotta come with something more.
the second episode is almost a parody of refn own style and when shit happens, at the episode 8, you just dont care, because there are no characters interesting enough to offer some shit to be given.
> should i care about the uninteresting psycho hitman cop who wants to have a heart?
> his teen uninteresting girlfriend that is there to be some sort of fetish?
> the uninteristing mexican whore witch ninja and the uninteristing mexican incest gay manlet?
viggo is the only character on the show that a) has some sort of personal drama b) has a good, solid actor playing it.
all the rest is just noise.
The fucking Jenna Malone Helter Skelter monologue about race wars and child molestation was unironically one of the worst things I've ever seen. Seriously, what the fuck was that?
>thats why the '10 hours movie meme' is retarded.
>doing something for 10 hours if different than doing it for 1h45. simple as that. you gotta come with something more.
Watch Satantango, La Commune (Paris, 1871), Out 1, Shoah and films by Lav Diaz, all of them are long and great.
recycling lynch lmao
>watching a movie over an hour and a half
this show is snuff porn directed like a perfume comercial.
its the most nasty, annoying, depressing, nihilistic bullshit imaginable and all that could be forgotten and even praised if there were interesting and memorable characters inside this shitty universe.
but there are none. NOT A SINGLE ONE. its all shit. empty excuse of characters that are just there to do edgy stuff.
by god, i cannot believe how the scene with the jamaican texting his daughter was in, because that was such a weird glimpse of humanity, that it felt out of touch with everything else.
refn is a gay autistic robot who cannot understand human emotions.
or maybe once he could, but forgot - because i remember how PUSHER trilogy was solid at the characters dramas and development.
but now there is literally NOTHING. nothing. just fucking cameras moving slow and neon lights and eletronic music.
and his interviews are fucking sad.
> 'we just finish shooting because there were no money left'.
what a joke. what a sad pathetic fucking joke.
>Reddit spacing
go. back.
Film is a visual medium, style is substance
jesus christ how do you double your size 3 years in a row
and to be 'great' they had to offer more than long shots of landscape, neon and synthwave.
I don't think he understands that fascists would be the first ones to kill pornographers and child molesters
get into the hack faggot euro trash director mindset and the answer would be
> the character is LA
> the character is trump america
> the character is #byNWR
im done with this mother fucker.
>I don't think he understands that fascists would be the first ones to kill pornographers and child molesters
ahahah
"Clean up your culture before fascists do it for you"
keep in mind that he hired ed brubaker to work with him, a guy who wrote some novels and comic books.
i unironically think that without a writer, the whole show would be like episode two: long shots of nothing on slow motion and some eletronic music.
Stop watching porn
nwr understanding about history must come from those italian naziexploitation porn movies from the 70s.
not gonna said that there is a shit load of degeneracy out there, from all sides of the political spectrum, but saying that thats a "right wing" problem... cmon.
Too Old to Die Young is not just those things that you listed. You can reduce pretty much anything to its basic components. All of those films i listed liked Satantango could be reduced to its basic components, but there is more going on in terms of visual and emotional experience.
>Too Old to Die Young is not just those things that you listed
Yeah, it's also... FASCISM! FASCISM! FASCISM!
I wasn't sure about this series, but when i looked into who created/wrote/directed this I thought ok, I liked Bronson, Only God Forgives, Westworld & The Neon Demon so I'll try it out. Mind you Drive was a piece of shit....total piece of shit.
I really enjoyed it & think it's the best series I've watched this year so far. Cinematography is great, not much dialogue & just well written/directed overall.
It's hilarious looking at all the sperglord comments in here knocking it for all of the above traits. If you didn't like/understand what was happening why watch anything after episode one or two?
I guess the problem is expectation & reading into a series too much, insert "Well I think this director/writer put this in or didn't do this because of his political beliefs or his artsy shit" here comment. But then again some people are good at that....anal-ysing everything till it's blown out of proportion into left or right wing propaganda depending on their own beliefs which is generally why they come to that conclusion in the first place.
Just watch it for what it is....if you like it...great....if you don't...that's fine also. Just don't sperg out about it m'kays...half of these writers/directors are "special" in their own way & are out there to provoke, upset, please & entice whoever watches it in some way or another....even the simplest of minds.
The show literally talks about race wars and you're telling me not to interpret it politically
Did Martin unironically do anything wrong? All he did was kill degenerates, in the true sense of the word, even if some of them were less degenerate than others. He does fuck a 17 year old, but she is pretty much bordering on 18 at that point.
Yep, just the same as if you listened to some music & it told you to go kill your neighbors you wouldn't do it right?
And if there are race wars in a few years, did this show predict it or was it just coincidence??
Just.Watch.It.For.What.It.Is
It's a goddam tv show, if they put something in there that's thought provoking ok, but you don't take it as gospel unless you're taking things faaaaaar to literally.
The only good thing about this show is that I officially now have a 3D waifu, Cristina Rodlo. Guys I want her to sit on my face so badly.
it is.
it is a very good looking misery porn with no characters that you care about, because every character is just a trigger to sex and/or violence.
the closest you have of an arc is viggo, all the rest are just there to do stuff that lead into a very edgy and slow scene of something violent and/or sexual happening.
and all those thing would be very cool if i had people to care about.
episode 8 is the perfect example: a big oh shit moment, an incredible twist and you just dont care, because there is not a single moment between those characters that looked like a relationship.
nothing come close to the humanity that the same refn showed on the pusher trilogy, so i will assume the guy just lost contact with the outside world.
he couldnt get quite popular after drive, so now he does stuff for the sake of the shock value.
i truly dont get those scenes. theyre so fucking retard, they try so hard and fail so miserably at apeing david lynch, they are so on the nose that you just cannot wrap your mind around the message.
he is being ironic about being ironic? what the fuck is going on?
but its the show. its like with the mexican duo: they were supposed to be those epic characters because look! theyre in slow motion! there is gold everywhere and shit! the girl is a witch and a ninja!
its just pathetic how hard it tries to insert a gravitas that isnt there.
Do you think people should take Schindler's List or Shoah seriously? Or would that be taking things too literally?
Jesus is beautiful man
Actually, for a show with such minimalistic dialogue and deadpan acting the characterisation is pretty strong. The characters aren't very sympathetic but they're memorable.
He's a fucking manlet with a Napoleon complex. Alfonso was old school and should've been boss.
is season 2 just gonna be the ugly mexican girl killing people
hmmm
holy fuck refn
If I got to clean up my culture, fascists would be the first to go.
>If I got to clean up my culture
You should try using Zyklon B
He killed a women while only knowing she did "bad" stuff. Knowing Damian she owed something like 5k bucks or something. Anyways Martin discovered she has 2 or 3 little kids. Later he tells Viggo that he didn't felt anything. Boom, he is a fucking psycho and you're a brainlet for forgetting something like this or just retarded. Pick your poison.
I had no idea this existed and I constantly use Prime Video. What the fuck? Has this had zero marketing?
I think amazon wants to bury it because they realized just how badly they fucked up when Refn "ran out of money."
I think they don't promote stuff that needs you to enter a pin code every time you want to watch it.
yes. any person at amazon that sit down and watch this shit must be really, really trying to pretend it never happend.
and the good news for them is that there is no viral marketing as well, because euphoria on hbo is even more degenerate.
Can someone tell who the girl is that did cocaine with Amanda when Martin came with the money? She was pretty.
>needs you to enter a pin code
What are you talking about?
Hes probably under 18 with his parent's child lock on
its amazon. imagine the daily traffick on amazon.
if they detected this show as a hit in potential, they would make people know that is exists.
they didnt and is completly understandable.
Don't play that card with me, I'm not going to fall for it.
Those are completely & totally different kettles of fish.
You're trying way to hard, stop with the buzzwords like "arc, relationships, ironically & unironically" to begin with...this isn't hipsterville.
>couldn't get popular after drive
Only God Forgives & The Neon Demon are two other films after Drive.
>I truly don't get those scenes
Did you ever think you're maybe not supposed to get them?
>its just pathetic how hard it tries to insert a gravitas that isnt there.
no really, you're trying to hard....
>if they detected this show as a hit in potential, they would make people know that is exists
Then why the fuck would they spend money to make it in the first place?
Can't remove parental lock for stuff that's 18+, atleast in my cunt.
>Did you ever think you're maybe not supposed to get them?
Ah yes, the mark of a true intellectual.
so is this another Refn self insert with pedophilia, "beauty is all that matters", incest, wacky lights because he's color blind, useless characters and slug pacing?
also explain Kojimbo character
>Ah yes, the mark of a true intellectual.
My sides xD
Not all of it is supposed to make sense sometimes...take some scenes with a grain of salt otherwise you'll bend your head into oblivion.
>also explain Kojimbo character
You know what cameo means, snowflake?
>XD
>that pic
the fuck?
>take some scenes with a grain of salt
Which scenes do you take with a grain of salt, and which scenes do you take at face value?
That's up to the viewer user.
are you fucking stupid you incel retard?
what character does he play, he's there for a whole episode or just a few minutes, does he even speak in ENGURISH or he's a silent bastard like you should be?
have sex or dilate, the choice is yours
hes just a cameo calm down
He's just some yakuza guy for a one scene. How stupid you are?
He still didn't do anything wrong
t. psychopath
a cameo is something you do, it doesn't explain shit
like Ed Sheeran in fucking GoT, saying "he did a cameo!1!" explains nothing
how should I know? that's specifically what I was asking, what role does he play
have you suffered brain damage when you were a little girl?
There's no mystery for explanation, you autist
>how should I know?
By watching actual scene and not being retard like you are
is this the result of watching a show like this? permant brain damage?
It's been pretty clear from the premise of my first post I haven't watched the show
how old are you, 12?
neck yourself, subhuman
>It's been pretty clear from the premise of my first post I haven't watched the show
It's been pretty clear that you are absolute idiot
what i get from you is that people should just sit down, watch whatever and do not have an opinion about it, thats it?
the guy writes a scene and them get actors to do it, direct it, edit it, put on a show and people should not try to understand what gives?
jesus christ.
because they had a lot of money and tought it could work. look at the ammount of shit that hollywood produces everyday.
and amazon prime is terrible, the only show that exist is transparent, and only because the press love the whole tranny meme, but i doubt that any of their original content is relevant.
bosch is fine, but nobody watches.
>It's a long story.

Doesn't get any more kino than this.
he literally told in an interview that he stop it when the money was over.
some may find super cool, i think that means he is a fucking hack.
Why you so buttblasted about someone's money?
What site are you guys without Amazon streaming it from? I can't find anything with subs for the Spanish parts of episode 6.
not worried about amazon money, brainlet, im talking about delivering a story with no sense of conclusion for your audience.
and i know your answer will be along the lines of 'this is just like life, my dude' so do not waste your time.
Use torrents, you stupid fuck.
You don't need to have characters and character arcs to make a good film. I agree that Pusher trilogy is better than anything he has done after it. You said it yourself it's a misery porn, so he achieved something. The tone and mood of the show are very well done.
how expensive it is to get real fake blood instead of digital blood?
the 8th episode has a scene with a guy killing another guy and its kind of an important scene that is ruined by the use of digital blood on slow motion.
the show is 99,9% about "aesthetics", they should be more careful.
i would say that the tone and the mood would be even better if he cared, at least, at offering something to like about the main characters.
he used to know how to do that and just because the show had social commentary doesnt mean every character must be empty.
the only scene on the show that i find nice was the one with the jamaican crime lord texting with his daughter.
its such an organic scene that i dont even know how it fits into the rest of the show.
looks like someone got LYNCHED
yeah I don't know if it was meant to be stylized that way, but the digital blood kind of took me out of it. it's especially noticable at the end of episode 2 when they line up all the policemen
I think Martin is a pretty good character. As far as rest of the characters are concerned, i think people who know his work, know what to expect. He has been doing very similar type of films since Drive. It's kind of unfair to compare late period Refn to early Refn. I agree that better characters would make the show better, i just don't think it's a valid reason to dismiss the whole show,especially if you know his later films.
The opening scene in episode five creeped me out.
I would much prefer that over the cop scenes and the random nazi shit throne in. It broke immersion which is the last thing (i would hope) the director wants.
What, exactly, is a fascist in your mind?
It was sick humor by Refn, plus nazis were added as a joke when sickest characters were black, white and mexicans. It shows men as rapists and women as manipulative killers so no good people in it.
Agreed 100%. First episode was kino but slow. Second not quite as good but still kino and slow. Third episode really drew me in (that 'memorial service'). Episode five was agonizing in a good way. Six was as good and made me like the Mexican storyline. Seven had its moments. But somewhere in episode eight the plot was lost. Episode nine was just sissy porn and political cringe and ten was bleh.
It's a shame, I was really on board all the way through episode eight. Kino as fuck. I love Refn's eye. I can seriously sit through the slow pans and just appreciate what I'm being shown.
Plus, my heart was broken after "'Mom'. *Shakes Head* 'No'". I don't think it was in it after that.
martin and yaritza and definitely the blonde woman are fascist characters anyway
could be related to the 'supernatural' but I took it as just another jab at the whole alex jones guy and ideology as being absolutely insane.
iow, political cringe.
Idk if you will read this but Refn's next project seems to be a TV series for Les Italiens.
>Southern Baptist who loves Refn's work here...
I had that thought, that the political cringe *might* be in there to distract from just how awful it all is. Refn's work has upset the let before. Jews called drive 'literally mein kampf' and neon demon anti lgbtq+. Were it not for 'le srong death priestest who kills rapists', 'lol look at those crazy nazi conspiracy theorists', ec., this too might lose 'free speech' allies on the left.
I mean, the progressive shitty immoral hypocritical left that is encapsulated in Baldwin and his friends is considerably more trenchant of a mockery than the blatant nazi flags and cops shouting 'fascism'.
i counted 3 times you could see the cameraman, any see more?
He has had this on his imdb page for like 2 years, Avenging Silence seems like a more probable project.
agreed
that's what I was expecting.
haha wouldn't it be gross if someone made a webm of the cum hand getting put in his mouth. ewwwwww. haha imagine if she did that to you gross. anyone have the webm yet haha
...
The cum is gold there right? Or am i seeing things.
watch ep3. if you like it well enough power on to ep5.
it holy happened when he was upset/alone with Martin. So maybe drugs or a nervous tic.
Martin was a sociopath. He was fucking a girl who was 16 and extremely emotionally vulnerable but...he did keep her around and genuinely care for her - as best as he could.
I don't think he did anything wrong other than a few murders on sketchy grounds. But he was more or less trapped into it by the nogs who also threatened his teen gf.
Why does anyone think this prog propaganda? The first 15 minutes has a black cop saying 'women are the source of all evil', and also sexually harrassing a girl and coercing her into giving a bribe. All of that is verboten to the libtards.
I liked the 'squish' headshot sound though.
What really REALLY bothered me is that they couldn't be bothered to put in fake rounds to get a decent recoil from any gun. I can live with cgi blood...but no recoil form guns. Come on...
t. videogame players.
Making something look pretty doesn't give it substance, it's the emotion the image creates and Refn's images are empty.
One character says all cops are bad people and it shows as all the detectives are incompetent fucks
theres enough shit to make literally everybody really annoyed and it offers nothing in return.
> nothing.
> fucking N O T H I N G
all the characters, except for viggo, are just triggers for sex and violence.
and every episode has an incest reference, literally speaking or a not-so-subtle vibe of it.
incest permeates literally every group of characters on the show, except for jamaican gangster crew.
amazon is happy for hbo being even worst with euphoria being release at the same weekend, because this shit is just terrible.
>want Viggo Mortensen in your show
>he says no
>hire his shorter, uglier twin
>name the character Viggo
Bravo.
the cops and baldwin bro are something out of a david lynch movie, if david lynch did meth instead cigarrettes.
its beyond bad.
the show can only be understood trough a complete lack of connection with anything that comes close to reality and it doesn not have a whole lot of internal logic as well.
fucking martin its a fucking spit machine, everywhere he goes he leave his fucking dna.
BARRY from hbos BARRY is a way better and more professional killer.
the whole world of this show is an autistic fever dream of a guy who watches incest porn, play GTA and follow VICE.
Good take
Is she actually beautiful? Because Hollywood’s idea of beautiful seems to be repulsive goblins and man faces.
this is truth
pretty shots are nice but they get tiresome if they dont create any feeling
> the only good character.
> a waste of john hawkes.
ten years being a ghost, having a shit load of healthy issues, doing shady stuff, taking care of his sick mother and not one... single... flashback episode.
instead:
> long shots of nothing
fuck this shit.
This. Refn is projecting the absolute HORROR the Hollywood Elites are experiencing at the very thought of being held accountable for basically being Sodom and Gomorrah filled with subversives. Anyone who might actually hold them accountable they see and paint as a NAZI and FASCIST.
I am not sure if Refn is highlighting this in an ironic way, or projecting his own worldview.
read any interview with the guy, take a good look at the pictures of him and youre going to know that could only be the second possibility.
he is so out of touch that is too much even for a cartoon.
Miles Teller looks like he's always on the verge of laughing. But the script is so awful maybe he was.
Wtf was up with that scene with Taylor Hill? After watching Only God Forgives and Neon Demon I get the feeling Refn is a bit autistic about women.
Refn is autistic about everything.
>What, exactly, is a fascist in your mind?
Drumpf!
Didn't expect it to be, but holy shit, this series is high kino. The music alone is masterful.
>“I’ve always felt that every man has a 16-year-old girl inside them, and I wanted to make a movie about mine. Going from Drive to re-entering my mother’s womb in Only God Forgives, I lived out that fantasy, so now I can make a movie from the point of view of the teenage girl inside of me. It’s like being reborn.”
Refn is living out his fantasies by self-inserting as a girl in a rape situation
>Hires a world famous supermodel
>Her only scene is a cameo of her getting sexually hate by a cop
What did Refn mean by this?
his concept of 'women' are something that could only come from the mind of a virgin. its beyond retarded.
But he has a wife and two daughters. Are you saying that despite being a family man he’s mentally an intel?
Synth music and autism.
Are there any other violent thrillers like this? I have seen other Refn's stuff.
You might enjoy this if you like incest and violence
I have seen this, but thanks. It was pretty good, one of the better Noe's films.
she also showed up at the last episode as a waitress
I still haven't decided if I liked this series or not but after watching anything by Refn I can't watch anything else for weeks because nothing compares.
> two daughters
poor kids.
not even a joke. imagine having a dad that devoted so much time doing a 14 hours long streaming that has so much incest and pedophilia as a theme?
creep shit.
>I still haven't decided if I liked this series or not but after watching anything by Refn I can't watch anything else for weeks because nothing compares.
There are tons of directors out there that are better than Refn. I quite liked the show but the last two episodes were disappointing af. I wanted to see all of the spics die. Also poor Martin. Viggo should exterminate the whole cartel.
World doesn't work that way. Bad people will have all the happy endings as in the show.
I know, that doesn't mean that i don't want them to be killed.
>There are tons of directors out there that are better than Refn
Enlighten me then. I've watched everything by Noe Lynch Cronenberg and Von Trier.
Well Cronenberg and Von Trier are better than Refn. Bresson, Murnau, Lang, Kurosawa, Mizoguchi, Dreyer, Bergman, Tarkovsky, Antonioni, Visconti, Fellini, Tarr, Angelopoulos, Yang, Hou Hsiao-hsien, Tsai Ming Liang, Wilder, Scorsese, Hawks etc.
Federico Fellini is my favorite director but I was referring to modern cinema. There really isn't anyone like Refn right now.
