Actually when I think about it, I am a Coen brother and a Wes Anderson emo doomer

[-] gay_king_prince_charles@hexbear.net 13 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Wes Anderson holds aesthetic over content in all of his films. None of them are particularly insightful or even have interesting content. But, damn he does aesthetic really, really well.

[-] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 10 points 3 months ago

*aesthetic or ascetic (abstaining of any indulgences) ?

[-] gay_king_prince_charles@hexbear.net 10 points 3 months ago

aesthetic, I can't spell

[-] thethirdgracchi@hexbear.net 24 points 3 months ago

Imagine being sorted into Anglophone filmmakers. Could never be me.

[-] axont@hexbear.net 14 points 3 months ago

We got a Truffaut lad over here

[-] thethirdgracchi@hexbear.net 14 points 3 months ago

I'm always gonna choose Godard over Truffaut

Where Tarkovsky

[-] Dolores@hexbear.net 9 points 3 months ago

mao-clap correct, wise

[-] Palacegalleryratio@hexbear.net 4 points 3 months ago

I consider myself something of a Haneke habitué. (Or an Eggers enjoyer if I have to go Anglo!)

As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a Scorsese Wise Guy absolute-cinema

[-] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 18 points 3 months ago

Kubrick by default, but I need to watch more of his movies.

Nolan is the one I’ve actually seen the most of probably, but most of them aren’t very good

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 18 points 3 months ago

Non-binary George Miller Enjoyer

[-] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 7 points 3 months ago

What... o no

[-] gramxi@hexbear.net 16 points 3 months ago

what about the Kaufman emos

[-] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 15 points 3 months ago

I've seen a few movies before

[-] DickFuckarelli@hexbear.net 13 points 3 months ago

I'm gender fluid except for being a Nolan Bro.

[-] culpritus@hexbear.net 13 points 3 months ago

Kubrick and Kurosawa mostly, then Genndy Tartakovsky

like first as tragedy, then as farce

I’m going to be the biggest normie possible here and im sure ill get destroyed for saying this but Spielberg, (then Kubrick tied with Scorcese, then Nolan)

Spielberg made blockbuster films for the masses, films that were at the very least highly entertaining. He did it consistently and in a variety of different genres. Like, fuck any sort materially critical lens, because nearly all these directors fail on that end upon close inspection.

Jurassic Park? This is the greatest children’s movie of all time. It captures perfectly the perverse ambitions of a capitalist pig, if we go there.

Indiana Jones: fun as fuck, Lawrence of Arabia for the new age, maybe twice as racist (especially against those of my own ethnicity) but there isn’t a movie more emblematic of Western ethnocentrism. At least it presents itself somewhat apologetically? Man, who gives a shit, it’s fun.

Minority Report: Really entertaining scifi movie with a stylistic edge that, for some reason, never gets replicate.

Catch me if you can: I remember it being entertaining to watch

Saving Ryan’s privates: incredible cinematography and the action sequences set the tone for every war movie ever made, just give it that ffs.

Munich: israeli propaganda but for it’s time it’s more even keeled than the pure zionist propaganda you’d expect or read about. There’s at least some instances where Palestinians are treated like people, which was pretty unheard of for time. And it was an entertaining watch idgaf

He has a far more compelling filmography than the vast majority of directors and slop creators and for one of capitalist film’s biggest engines, he’s not even that problematic.

Scorcese, at the end of the day, made the same gabacool hagiography over and over again

[-] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 11 points 3 months ago

Kubrick tied with Scorcese

Disagree with this but otherwise good post

[-] Red_sun_in_the_sky@hexbear.net 4 points 3 months ago

Scorcese, at the end of the day, made the same gabacool hagiography over and over again

I disagree heavily.

I watched a lot of Spielberg but overall his output has been shit as time went on. He would rather shill for zionism.

[-] Beetle_O_Rourke@hexbear.net 4 points 3 months ago

Might be bordering on self-dox, but for a freeform science fair I used histograms of metacritic scores against different metrics and predicted that Transformers 2 would suck.

I won my first graphing calculator that way.

[-] cmhickman358@hexbear.net 12 points 3 months ago

What about the Tim Burton enjoyers?

[-] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 11 points 3 months ago

I'm the dinosaur behind Spielberg

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 11 points 3 months ago

Sadly I'm a Nolan film bro because I've seen most of his work.

[-] OptimusSubprime@hexbear.net 7 points 3 months ago

I'm an Alex Cox Intensenik

[-] autismdragon@hexbear.net 7 points 3 months ago

The Russo brothers obviously! (we really need an mcu mocking emote)

[-] spacecadet@hexbear.net 5 points 3 months ago

2001 and The Shining are enough to put Kubrick at the top for me (I am an elitist) but easy rewatchability goes to Spielberg for sure, Jurassic Park, Jaws, E.T., Indiana Jones, etc.

Nolan is by far the least impressive of the 4 but his movies are entertaining.

[-] Beetle_O_Rourke@hexbear.net 5 points 3 months ago

Spielberg Sentimentalist gang gang

[-] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 4 points 3 months ago

Spielberg, I guess. I like some SF stuff.

[-] callouscomic@lemm.ee 4 points 3 months ago

Snoochie Boochies

[-] PoY@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 3 months ago

count me out, i don't want any part of this

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 3 months ago

Joke on you, i don't watch neither of them. I guess i'm so impervious to Harry Potter that even the memetic derivatives of it don't work on me.
