ITT: Films that no one younger than the age of 30, will understand
This movie is just Fight Club packaged for people who don't need to be meme'd to enjoy things
>>63806630
This movie is dumber than the new Star Wars.
HUMBERT LEARNS!

Somebody younger than 30, detected. Go back to your Star Wars threads, kid.
>>63806702
>thinking the film has only one theme
>comparing Lester, an unhappily-married white-collar worker who discovers life again in completely unexpected ways, to Humbert Humbert, a lonely pedophile
Sure is plebberino in this board
>>63806872
Uh, the writer did that himself when he made the main character's name an anagram for HUMBERT LEARNS.
>>63806916
Oh, and I entirely believe you with all those citations you've brought to the table.
>>63806759
>Fight Club
>American Beauty
>Not both about the monotonous ennui of the middle class in modern America
>>63806985
>not getting it, THIS hard
>>63806974
...am I being trolled or are you an idiot? Considering you like American Beauty, I lean towards the latter.
>>63807034
What's that? You don't have that citation, yet?
>>63807075
You can look at the name Lester Burnham. It's clearly an anagram for Humbert Learns. Either you don't know what an anagram is or you think it's a coincidence. Let me know. Thanks.
>>63807164
Still missing that citation. Go on, bring it to the table. I'll wait.
>>63807274
Citation for what? You might as well ask for a citation for 2 + 2 = 4.
>lol i trolled u!
Yeah, nobody likes your crappy movie, kid.
>>63807372
Oh, I'm not trolling. I want the source where Alan Ball reputedly mentioned that "Lester Burnham" was an anagram of "Humbert learns" when he wrote the film.
Like I said, I can wait. Go on then, boyo. Fetch.
>>63807430
Why would you need him to confirm it to be true? Writers don't usually reveal all the meanings in their work through interviews or commentary. Doesn't mean that they're not there or that we can't make judgements on them.
So you think it's a coincidence then?
>>63807593
I don't believe in coincidences. I believe in facts. Get that fact for me, son, I know you can do it.
>>63806702
Dude, you're dumb as fuck.
Movie is cum through a projector. Here's my citation:
>>63806718
American Beauty is fucking bollocks that betrays its own premise in the end.
Juvenile tripe. Something something look closer at you life by acting like a tantrum throwing baby
But then .. ? No it's all good when you die the world is so beautiful
It's a social critique without balls
A satire without originality
A philosophical film without any brains
>>63808267
Look closer.
>>63808267
Citation? Stick to Star Wars, pleb.
American Beauty may be the most-overrated movie of all-time.
a real patrician movie
>>63808494
Look closer. Also, the Star Wars thread is that-a-way. Don't worry, you'll be an adult some day.
>>63806985
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHA
I bet you thought Lost in Translation was a romance film.

>>63806630
actually you don't really absorb the last succulent nuances until at least 65. Nice try though my plebeian friend:)
>>63806718
>DUDE I'M DEPRAVED AND HETEROSEXUAL LOL
When did you grow out of louis CK /tv/?
Definitely this.Tarkovsky's best (debatable).
>>63809079
It's not debatable because it isn't.
Mirror surpasses film as a medium and Nostalghia is just behind it.
>>63809131
Zerkalo is incoherent pseudo-babble and Nostalghia is a failed attempt at distancing himself from Soviet filmography. But Andrei Rublev is at it's core striving for an honest portrayal, something that can't be said for much of his "I don't believe in symbolism" work. Try again, pleb.
>>63809414
>Zerkalo is incoherent pseudo-babble
It's actually incredibly straightforward. Allow me to elucidate any part you found incoherent, please.
