>>63083483
Yes it is, filmmakers are deciding that they can't make good movies anymore, so they hire meme actors and meme DPs rather than just making it good.

No, but illiterate assholes who just throw around the word "meme" instead of actually describing things they dislike is destroying this board.

It's the irreverent shitposting that happens after a movie that was well liked when it was in cinemas comes out on blu-ray and is ready for the basement dwelling loners who didn't have anyone to go with to torrent and to memepost to be contrarians.
This happens for almost every popular movie here.

You're right, no tangible film discussion because no one knows fuck all about them here, and everyone's too beta to contest another poster's opinion anyway.

I agree fellow redditor.
/r/movies is a lot better for deep and well thought film discussions.

This board is just a hive for baneposters and paedophiles.

Are you triggered? If you don't think this board is a shithole just end your life. /mu/ can discuss music, /lit/ can discuss books, /tv/ only talks in memes and unsubstantial shitposts.

You're right, i should rephrase it. It's the worst interest board, i don't even count /v/ because that's basically reddit

Also
>videogames
>>
>>63083817
It's a shot done mostly in editing that is inherently visually uninteresting both technically and in terms of artistic merit. It's message is hamfisted and adds nothing to the overall feel of the movie. Out of place and uninspired, this shot fails at its intended purpose.

In short, to anyone who cares, it's a groaner.

> ughhh "hurr durr silhouette on a coloured background" who gives a shit.

In other words... Autism.
>>
>>63085123
yeah, or it's neither nor. it's just a shot of silhouettes of some guys with weapons.
Probably has been done once or twice before FMJ and probably a few dozen timesbetween those two..

also the still from sicario is way more interesting then a still from the FMJ ending

>>63085368
It is a metaphor for how the soldiers are walking into the darkness, of moral uncertainty. There is no room for metaphor in film anymore?
>>
>>63085612
Depends. What's art for you? For me it's about emotion. If you think films are about stories you're looking at them in a very superficial way.
>>
>>63085636
not meme metaphor

i'm sick of people using the word "meme" as an adjective

you can't think of actual criticisms so you just go "meme meme le reddit"

Lubezki is already becoming a parody of himself. He did okay in Y Tu Mama Tambien and great with The New World but he's been downhill ever since. The Revenant trailer is specially garbage.

Cant even discuss Snowden's actions and their influences in there ofr fucksake

While 25 years is arbitrary as fuck and stupid there is a case to be made for not mixing current affairs such as snowden with history discussion.

Is the concept of "meme" destroying people's abilities to communicate? Because it seems to be. The term literally means "any communicable idea" and it seems having a half-understood conception of such a meta concept, that literally applies to everything, is causing people to lose the ability to think in clear terms.
>>
>>63086723
>>63086747
Snowden's actions have caused changes and those are history currently. It has been 2-3 years already.

Can't even discuss modern middle-East politics in there.

Can't discuss modern politics/history of middle-East.

They need to kill the abortion of a history board.

>>63086904
>History is muh current time minus 25 years
Just fucking kill yourself.
9/11 is history.
Leak of information initially by Snowden is history.
USofA buttfucking Gaddafi and Saddam when they stopped playing ball is history (the most recent one)
>>
I haven't seen the film so I can't really comment, BUT I will say this: the blue/orange complementary colour scheme has been done to death lately, as have silhouettes against the sky been overdone for a long long time.
It's not a bad shot as such, it's just entirely unoriginal
With regards to this being called a meme: it is done incredibly often, so it actually can be called a meme, and because of this overuse it is stagnating cinema (and possibly killing it?), rather than rejuvenating it and being inventive and innovative
>>
>>63086951
I don't necessarily agree with the 25 years rule, i agree 9/11 is more on the history side, but snowden and everything else you mentioned are too current. You said it yourself
>Can't even discuss modern middle-East politics

>>63087009
It happened in the past.

It is pretty much history.

The dictionary gives a definition where it would fit as history, so who gives a shit about the commom usage of the word? It's not like people use words to easily communicate without having to worry about semantics and out of context definitions.
