Am I a brainlet?

>Get told TDK is overrated and told to watch canonized directors.
>Watch Godard, truffaut , Bergman, Fellini, Rivette, PTA, Coen bros, Malick, Villeneuve, antonioni, Orson Welles, etc..
>Rewatch TDK and find it more emotionally powerful than all of their films except The Seventh Seal.
What went wrong?

>i watched the entry level redditcore directors but i still like capeshit better
most embarrassing post i’ve seen in a while, that’s impressive.

What's not redditcore?

> True Grit
> A Serious Man
> Tree of Life
> Citizen Kane
> Blade Runner 2049
> 81/2
Those movies made me tear up. TDK had no emotional moment in the entire film. Not fucking one.

Villeneuve isn't fit to clean Orson Welles toilet, he's worse than Zack Snyder.

>> Blade Runner 2049
Kys. It's dishonest filmmaking. It's literally a rehash of the original thematically.

Nothing, you opened yourself to new film experiences and decided you're happy with something like The Dark Knight. No need to justify beyond that.

Dennis Hopper
Harmony Korine
Bill Duke

checked and is that a popcorn vessel?

>Lars Von Trier
>Le depression is enlightenment lad
He's an edgy teen with some talents as a director.

For me, it's the three St. Johns of Cinema: Boorman, Milius, McTiernan.

now rewatch those directors again then watch ZS:JL. It will blow your mind.

knew someone would say something foolish like this. you need to watch his earlier work, notably his Europa trilogy. those movies don’t get talked about nearly enough, it’s always just Antichrist and Jack.

Holy shit someone with actual taste!

>it’s always just Antichrist and Jack
I was referring to Antichrist and Melancholia but still, my opinion of people goes down if they genuinely believe stuff that I usually hear from depressed teenagers.

>Boorman
More like BOREman. Kek.

No, its actual kino

Kino movie

>Well, we all know how much you love to say "I told you so."
On that day, Master Wayne, even I won't want to.

ONE AND A HALF HOURS LATER

>Today I found out what Batman can't do. He can't endure this. Today you get to say 'I told you so'.
And today sir, I don't want to.... but i did bloody tell you

such as?

...

So you need to cry to like a movie? Maybe just go on your period?

OP said TDK was emotional, and none of the directors he listed made films as emotional as TDK.
I said those were films made by those directors that made me tear up and they contained more emotional moments than TDK.
Do you always struggle this much with reading comprehension retard?

TDK is a masterpiece. The best action movie ever. Yea Forums just tries to find reasons to hate anything. Their excuses for TDK are laughable.
>coherent, logical and realistic plot
>great action set pieces that were all actually done
>great moral challenges for both Batman and the audience to ponder
>no gender, race, or homo politics. There are black villains and black cops. Jokers kills both alike. Joker kills men and women (female judge, Maggie Gyllenhaal.
How often do you see black guys killed in modern movies? Or women? Or beautiful white majority casting?

TDK ending is more emotional than any of them. What's so emotionally compelling about those films?

aw shieet, we wuz congressmens and shiet

You can't just watch a fuckload of randomly assembled 'artsy' movies and expect to just magically tap in to what makes them great individually. It takes time to process and understand new things, TDK and films like it are a comfort food to you. You already know how to digest it, you already have built pathways in your brain connecting its form of storytelling, climax etc. straight to your emotions; of course it's going to feel that way, it's the fucking macaroni and cheese you ate as a child.

I went through the exact same shit when I was like 18 and went of Yea Forums for the first time with classical music, I saw how elitist those fucks were and it made me curious. It took me probably 3 months before I started to connect with it, opera took even longer because of the style of singing, and now years later I still fucking love it and it's a part of what I listen to regularly. Opera especially is probably the medium that has made me feel the most intense emotions at one time, that shit is like fucking crack cocaine I swear. But I did that by going back and re-listening with an open mind, not by trying to skip between 10 different genres that are all considered 'patrician', giving them the once over and calling it a day.

Yes to the first, middle, and last

That sounds good and all and its benevolent and endearing really but I think is foolish. Yes do it but be careful who you reward under what pretenses. Truth is absolute and if anyone should be rewarded are those who seek the truth. Those who deviate from the truth are quick to devolve into demons.

Absolutelly not. The first was about the dicotomy of acceptance and denial in regards to the unchangeable, while BR2049 was about emotional numbness and the crushing realization you are not special in the world.

Because the turth TDK is not really "bad" or "overrated" when compared to other narrative driven films, if you're purely talking about thematic depth. Yes, there are probably better craftsmen out there than Nolan but not a lot of them are smarter as Yea Forums might lead you to believe. Godard is a quintessential champagne socialist midwit and if you're not interested in any of his formal experiments then his films will leave you cold. Heck, even his ideas are far less interesting than Nolan's obsession over time and subjective experiences. Something radically different like Luis Buñuel could be more useful in expanding your perspective.

Also PTA is a dishonest hack. Just watch Altman and Kubrick.

>Michael Haneke
>Gaspar Noe
You have a feminine spirit and shit taste. Also you enjoy film HAHHAHHAHAHHAHAH

I see so many teenagers and edgy 20 year olds ITT. Get me my coffee wagies.

regular or decaf?

>Blade Runner 2049
bruh

I own a small family business. No wagecuckery for me.

>my daddy got me my job
congrats on nothing, middle class generational wealth on average declines within 4 decades so your grandkids will likely grow up in poverty and live with niggers

What are some good Milius movies? I’ve only seen a couple, Red Dawn etc

>middle class generational wealth on average declines within 4 decades
You can keep coping that one day I'll fail but I'll live a comfy life while barely making an effort. I'm richer than my father and my kids will be richer than me. Probably my grandkids too.

t. Redditcore lover

Nobody asked faggot

>I'll live a comfy life while barely making an effort
yep that's the mindset that leads to the generational wealth decline, rofl i love seeing yuppies like you get fucked

But that's not happening with me, fag. As I said I'm richer. You don't need to be hyper ambitious to build on existing wealth. Just not a retard.

I can’t troll wagies without someone coming in and trying to shit on successful people. Sad!

ngmi

you can cope all you want about your mixed race grandkid and your whore daughter putting all of your father's hard earned wealth in the hands of jews while you're burning in hell for eternity, yuppie fuck

Seething.

I don’t think the dark night is over rated honestly, I’m convinced it was the SINGLE movie that took capeshit from being a passing fad to being an entire lifestyle now. I think indie cinema actually got fucking kneecapped by the dark night and never really recovered the momentum it built up prior, like A24 type stuff took like half a decade or more to start getting into the public spotlight because everyone only wants to watch capeshit installments now. Like most good pieces of art it transcended just being art and influenced culture.

you are not a man and so you cannot relate to the world of men - thus, no real response.

>The Seventh Seal.
how is that even an emotional film at all?
are most of you just fucking retarded or something??

>reeeeeeee a sequel had similar themes

you paid for film school to be this much of a faggot?

>I’m convinced it was the SINGLE movie that took capeshit from being a passing fad to being an entire lifestyle now.

nah, because it was different than most capeshit. It was well made, same as the old Tim Burton Batman movies.

Avengers 2012 or Michael Bay Transformers are more to blame

SOVLess faggot.

those are very cerebral directors, maybe you need a brain?

I have a huge and thick cock instead.

Sure, but literally everyone watched it, and wanted to rewatch it, and talked about super hero’s because of it. It was an extremely widely regarded movie, I think after it came out marvel made a string of fairly successful and high budget super hero movies because of it and those movies turned into the avengers franchise.

watch Fellini's Satyricon

I’m pretty smart but I’m finding myself more and more disinterested in cinema. I have less time for illusions. I want fun and humor as a reprieve from work and toil. That’s it.

Wagie. Suffer.
