    Great here comes the inevitable crowd saying that a movie can't or shouldn't be 9 hours long. I compel anyone who thinks that to watch Masaki Kobayashi's 9 1/2 hour The Human Condition (Ningen no Joken). One of the finest anti war films I've ever seem, and one of the greatest movies I've seen period. Being a socialist in Japan during WW2 had to have been so unbelievably fucked

    To the various butthurt members of said crowd, the film is in 3 parts of 3 to 3 and a half hours, each split in half with an intermission. Watch them as a series of movies, if you can watch a TV show this is an easy one. Some of these replies read like they were written by r/marvel users

      a "movie" cannot be 9+ hours long. i'm sorry if names mean anything a project that literally cannot be seen uninterrupted in a business day at a theater is not a movie. its some kind of series. no-body has a problem with series existing, but its pure pretension to act like this or that series is a film but other ones are a somehow lower form. so sorry you couldn't leave enough on the cutting room floor & have to grouped in with TV people, cry me a river

        Do you object to TV shows as well? Your comment is the epitome of pretension, you're acting like a redditor

          have you actually forgotten that films are shown in movie theaters and are watched in one sitting? or are you just a dumb condescending prick?

            They literally do festivals in Japan for it where they show it in ONE FULL SITTING, if that's gonna be your technicality to die by. I recommend a really great work of art because I figure people here will enjoy it and you have been acting like a massive prick from the first response. Fuck off and touch grass.

      Avatar haters are confined within the prison of their minds. They will never see the light of Eywa so long as they squeeze their eyes shut and deny her truth.
