i simply form correct opinions independent of the diseased discourses of the corporate 'net
no. very good. they really wrote the quintessential boomer mom with a gay kid experience and did it perfectly. very good queer rep
Like seriously, it's so fucking good. The writing is phenomenal. It's a fantastically told story, with perfectly timed emotional arcs. Go fucking watch it if you haven't.
I can respect that people love this movie, but I cannot forgive it for the sausage fingers.
I liked the movie but did feel afterwards this disappointed feeling. Heard from some people I trusted that it was by far the best movie of the year and it was just a good movie. Idk if I'm too :kim: pilled or so, but I felt like it was so removed from its own meanings that it became too loose. Like in the opposite of socialist realism way or something. I get what the movie was saying, but felt disappointed in how it said it. Hard to articulate exactly why though, maybe just because the "love conquers all" trope felt kinda unearned at the end
It's not "love conquers all" so much as "love is a necessary component of psychological healing, and everyone needs some healing"
But it wasn't a component, it was the only thing, right? The love just instantly healed basically everyone except the 2 main characters who had to use even more love to begin healing.
Ok I think I then agree with this analysis, for the general meaning being better than my original comment in that it wasn't just "love conquers all" but still showed the hard work associated with it. I still think that this wasn't entirely clear enough because of how removed the action was from material reality as we experience it. It makes it more interesting art for sure, but in my mind, the shit going on in random universes wasn't really "hard work" but a sort of cheating to find someone's weak point (or love point or whatever). Considering this was the point of the movie (to be so crazy and hectic and fun), I think the movie did its goal well. I just think I would react more to a movie that was more visceral about that struggle in a literal as opposed to analogous way.
Good analysis, pretty convincing at all aspects. I hadn't thought too hard about the movie afterwards but i appreciate the introduction of some good ideas by you here. I guess the speed of switching around led me to feel that it wasn't hard work while the intention was that it WAS but the movie couldn't be 10hours long. Which brings me back to: i guess i just react more to a sort of realism that can show pain and suffering and hard work in a directly relatable way: hence my juche-pilled take at the beginning.
But you've convinced me that i was too harsh in every way outside of this broad philosophical desire to utilize realism more often
I guess a leftover question here: why did the versions of the attackers become docile when other versions of themselves were treated well by the main character? I guess i may have missed it, but that also led to the disconnect i think
But yeah thanks for the detailed and serious explanations, was enjoyable to read
I will look into both! Not a big movie-head but i have pirate bay so easy access, and will watch em
Yeah everyone is all "remove the sausage fingers" but sausage finger IRS lady crying out of confusion and hurt is an important emotional moment
True, I'm a fuckin dumbass. So besides the 3 main characters then?
It's really enjoyable. For me. I can understand people not liking it, but I don't get all the "Rick and Morty"/"Reddit" humour comments.
I don't think I have heard anyone say it's deep. That said, I only ever talked about it with my irl friends. Talking about media online can be a punishing exercise.
I also read a shit load of scifi. But let's be honest, high concept scifi rarely makes it to the big screen. I'd love to see Transition on the big screen but we aint likely to see it.
The villain says Rick nihilist stuff sure, but YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO DISAGREE WITH THE VILLAIN :picard:
"The curtains are fucking green" is a scourge on media discourse.
I think considering just how many trash ass big movies there are out there, especially within the last 20 or so years, it's definitely not overrated. I liked the film regardless of that though. I'm a sucker for originality in movies though as well, we're bombarded with such uninspired crap that EEAAO is especially enjoyable
It's pretty good. I tried to watch it with my parents and they said they didn't want to watch a kung fu movie though so
the struggle of being the product of sexual intercourse between two people honestly
a perfectly okay movie that only seems disappointing because of the scrutiny/hype/standom level
I never understood why people care about things being "overrated". Like tf is your problem why do you care that people like something too much?
As long as the thing isn't problematic, people liking things is a good thing. If you don't like it just enjoy something you do like and keep it moving. There is nothing to fix here.
(This isn't a defence of EEAAO, I haven't seen it and likely won't because it doesn't interest me
