You're not very good at trolling haha

My main inspiration for this short came from Bullet Ballet, Vertigo, and Angst.

@@Malbyred Yeah I noticed the stairway reminded me of Vertigo. Angst is a masterpiece and I stll need to see Bullet Ballet.

Thank you so much 😁

Scorsese is Cineast with a big C. He's a voracious student of the craft and so of course he keeps up with newer artists. He wrote Bong Joon Ho a letter after watching Parasite, that's the kind of person Scorsese is, generous and open to new voices.

The ending was based on "Defending your Life", one of the favorites movies of Aster too

Don't hurt yourself with that huge reach.

…his sister??

It’s like he took everything that made those previous movies good and built a whole new genre of film upon that. I’ve never seen a movie like this and i don’t think i ever will afterwards, truly unique and indescribable.

It's a huge misfire. Pretentious nonsense in need of a severe edit to make it remotely watchable.

@@drumgold23 It’s literally the opposite of nonsense lmao

@@drumgold23 I haven't seen a lot of Aster's movies before, only Hereditary, which I liked, but I have to agree with OP, this movie here is on another level. Yes, understandably not a movie for everybody, for people that are searching for "entertainment" it might not do. But in my neck of the woods "entertainment" is not usually a positive word anyhow. It might be translated to "politically appropriate ideological/religious" art. It seems to usually signify ideological movies that aim to repeat some values, tropes and motifs that some people ("regular people"?) seem to have a need for. It's probably similar to how religious mantras work. Constantly repeating the same structures and character arcs (cliches and genres) helps people in imagining some shared fantasy of how the world works - helps us imagine a shared society with shared values and what not, and perhaps this world will manifest itself if we repeat these things enough. I'm not saying it's not important, but it is not for everyone. If someone uses the word "pretentious" as they usually do without probably having any definition for it, there is a reflex to yell back: "you unsophisticated lower class movie audience!" or something, but I doubt that is useful to anybody. Some people just seem to be more interested in repetitively watching whatever others are watching and avoiding movies that stimulate individual thought or self-reflexion, and if they see something that contradicts this preference, they might instinctively feel threatened or insulted by it and they might lash out. That is ok, I try not to get angry at that as I perhaps have in the past. Some people are not for self-reflexion or critical stimulation in their media, constant repetition in "entertainment" keeps them happy and perhaps constructive to society. I am not here to change that, but I do feel the need to note that the word "pretentious" does often seem to be used by people for self-defence when confronted with forms of art, "entertainment" or media that is out of their ideological safe zone, mental capacity, etc. Not that the opinion "this movie is bad" or even "horrendous" is not valid, but in the realm of movie criticism I do advise to try to dig a little deeper into the movie or yourself or the society to understand why it might be or seem so. There are many options. If the criticism does not go any deeper, people might think it's because the critic is not very sophisticated and the problem lies with them and not the movie.

Midsommar was great too!

delete this comment before u get publicly humiliated

​@@sammypercy388still going strong though

Both after hours and beau feel like "The Odyssey" . But Beau parallels Hamlet more closely.

It makes me so angry people don’t bring professional recording gear to the cinema and then do not have the presence of mind to stifle their laughter when the speaker says something funny. The nerve.
