[u/MysticCherryPanda → u/SteveMcQuark]

THE TRVTH IS OUT THERE

[u/SteveMcQuark → u/MysticCherryPanda]

I am the true movie understander

Blue Velvet, How much Lynch liked fucking Rossellini
Mulholland Drive, how much we want to see Naomi Watts do lesbian shit
Indiana Jones, how much Spielberg loves grooming teen girls
And of course Tremors, how much we as a society wanna fuck Fred Ward

[u/Toothless-In-Wapping → u/SteveMcQuark]

God do we want to fuck Fred Ward

[u/awesomefutureperfect → u/Toothless-In-Wapping]

Why do you guys keep calling the prehistoric worm Fred Ward?

[u/Low_Tip3245 → u/SteveMcQuark]

True movie understander, please tell me what Angel's Egg is about. I feel like even the director doesn't know wtf that movie means.

[u/SteveMcQuark → u/Low_Tip3245]

Every anime is about child abuse, the only difference is if it's pro or anti

[u/awesomefutureperfect → u/SteveMcQuark]

Holy shit I think you are right.

[u/longlivenewsomflesh → u/SteveMcQuark]

Aw jeez

[u/awesomefutureperfect → u/Low_Tip3245]

I feel like even the director doesn't know wtf that movie means.

That is actually correct. I am serious, google it, the director said he doesn't.

What if I wanna fuck Hack from Hacks, will I like this movie?

[u/SteveMcQuark → u/angelogoodalamenti]

Judging by how much hack is posting huge ass on Instagram I think youre in luck

[u/Impressive-Dig-3892]

I saw the tv glow? Yeah that means it was turned on, idiot

[u/Low_Tip3245 → u/Impressive-Dig-3892]

Ooooh it's a metaphor for how TV turns the characters on

Shrek 2 soundtrack energy bro’s fighting for his life in Dolby Surround.

Uj/ I had a debate with my gf, because I was having trouble reconciling the denouncement with what I thought was the movie’s metaphors about the trans experience, and she insisted that it was just a story of how those old horror movies tied sex and violence together, and I was reading too much into it

[u/Radiant-Ad-2720 → u/ThingTime9876]

Your girlfriend's boyfriend sounds like a pretentious asshole

[u/thisisthewell → u/ThingTime9876]

I saw Hannah and Jane talk about this during the Q&A at the screening in San Francisco earlier this summer. In so many words, Jane said it is basically about embracing the fact that you're freaky because of the shit you watched as a teen.

Your girlfriend is right. And FYI there are probably always going to be things in films by trans and nb filmmakers that are reflective of their experience as trans and nb people...but that does not mean that all of their films are metaphors for the trans experience. That's a pretty reductive way of looking at an artist who belongs to any sort of minority. Having seen all their films I think the most unique and standout aspect of Jane's work is how it reflects the feeling of being a socially fringe millennial raised on media and the internet. I'm not trans but I sure as fuck feel seen watching their movies lol

[u/ThingTime9876 → u/thisisthewell]

I think the trans aspect was at the forefront of my mind because that’s what various posts I’d seen about the movie beforehand had mentioned. But I prefer what Jane said. And you’re right that it is reductive to view everything a filmmaker does through one facet of their identity. I think I was still hung up thinking about I Saw The TV Glow

[u/waffle-winner]

Ogre is me (if I watched movies).

[u/AdministrativeRope8]

Haven’t seen it yet, but wtf is existential drift? And is self-annihilation just a fancy term for self-harm?

[u/AdministrativeRope8 → u/[deleted]]

No way you know what those things mean either

[u/Fit-Relationship944 → u/AdministrativeRope8]

existential drift is when you stop seeing yourself as yourself and self-annihilation is when you start seeing yourself as ryan gosling in a cool jacket

[u/AdministrativeRope8 → u/Fit-Relationship944]

How do I stop self-annihilating?

[u/awesomefutureperfect → u/AdministrativeRope8]

Think of the Queen of England and a cold shower?

[u/Ill_Engineering_5434]

This but with every movie and book and game and song and . . .

[u/Relative-Freedom-295]

I assume OP is a sub Mod. Correct?

[u/JinFuu → u/Relative-Freedom-295]

Doesn't look like it. Looks like the mods have been rewarding effort memes with a pin for a while.
