>>64880439
Because I fucked your mum

OP here,
Iñárritu even has the audacity to end this movie on the theme of God, and relies on nothing but shock value. This is a movie that 15 y/o watch and instantly claim it to be their favorite movie. This is worse than modern art.

His pain wasn't realistic. It was wolf on wall street ludes scene part 2.
Leo literally cannot act. He was fucking awful and sounded like a little bitch, not the hard ass rugged tough dude he's meant to be.
Him and hardy should have switched roles and the movie would have been way better.
>>64881032
i'm not an inarritu fan, i thought birdman was shit. revenant is fantastic. and no, i read my books faggot.

It's a good word for a meme movie.
Masterpiece Memeology.
Lots of Natural Light memes.
Grunting and pulling faces and mumbling is good acting meme.
Beard is acting meme.
I got cold and it wad hard work is acting meme.
Long takes meme.
Pointlessly overlong with nature shot fillers is deep meme.
Ryuichi Sakamoto meme.
Hearts Of Darkness meme.
This movie is a meme in search of an Oscar and a slot on the IMDB top 250.
Pathetic.
>>64880996
>Oh now you're an authority on modern art too. Kill yourself you hipster faggot.
I never claimed to be an authority on anything, tell me why this movie is good? This movie is the equivalent of modern art, ie throwing shit against a wall and c oming up with something that 'resembles' art. Please tell me about all the artsy references i've missed when watching this movie, or am i just not 'smart' enough? I think you are projecting, if anything..
>>64881086
It's an action thriller dressed up with Real Art tropes to make it seem like an awards container/big boy film.
It literally is pretentious. It's one of the few times the word is used correctly.
>>64881250
please swallow a bullet.
Its great
>>64880825
this, what exactly is pretentious about it? it was a simple revenge story
I liked it, didn't really feel that it was pretentious.
Had some plot elements I didn't like.
I believed in Fitzgerald more than Glass. The ship burning seemed like plot BS
Tracker hero legend gets caught by a fucking loud bear of all things. Not well done...

Don't you realize you're basically saying that no movie should aspire to be good? You're labeling everything that makes the movie good a trope and saying it doesn't belong. Acknowledging quality but refusing to accept it. What the fuck is wrong with you?

>>64881100
this. but the real pretension is expecting the merits of a performance based on a near-crippled survivor to even be open for appraisal, as if the director, actor or audience had similar experiences they can draw comparisons from to gauge authenticity. It's a trap, a smug and calculated one.
the real test is to just slap i dunno, paul dano or jaden smith in the same role, and see if you're still convinced you're watching a hugh glass.

I'm saying they shouldn't aspire to cobble together cliches of what plebs think Art is.
Every inarritu film reminds me of Barney's short film from The Simpsons.
He's the anti-Tarantino. A shallow pleb masquerading as an artist, imitating the trailer highlights of revered films.

there's an argument to be made that the flashbacks and visions he has are pretentious, especially so since they keep repeating them in with different stylistic approaches
the flashbacks provide some basic narrative drive as to why he is persevering but they could have achieved that by only showing each flashback or vision once
it's absolute bullshit to call any other part of the movie pretentious though
>>64880439
Fuck I wish Fitzgerald won in the end.
I know it's based on a true story, but he was making all the smart decisions while Hugh Glass seemed to have plot armor.
>>64881428
> Long Takes = Good Movie
You're a pleb. You're on your way to patricianhood, but at the moment you are only able to identify a film by noting shallow superficial similarities to other films with high critical standing.
You probably still think black and white equals depth.
But this is good. At least you're progressing. You will probably have decent taste by the time you finish high school at this rate.

>>64882034
Yes. But they did insist on themselves, didn't they?
>>64880439
Inarritu is a showy director that can't fully accomplish all that he tries, but you people need to stop acting like he's trying to be a visionary genius. He just wants his movies well shot, is that such a crime? Are you people condemning him for trying? I'd rather have a showy movie that tries to be greater than it is than another average shot by-the-books movie without a director's hand visible

dude you're so right
films these days need to make everything 100% original, all the way down to camera shots
only then can you still hate it because it gets Oscar nominations you contrarian shit
How many of you saw it in theaters versus downloading the screener? I'm seeing it next week but the theater still won't free up any IMAX screens from TFA.
>>64882925
Do you even understand what trope means?
>>64881307
It's a simple revenge story with some minor themes of god and shit. Where does the pretension come from? It has nature shots? Is that all you've got shitposter?
Went to this movie with pleb friends. We all agreed it's an alright movie but wouldn't watch it again. Too long for the story it tells and too boring at that, but you can tell that most of the effort went into trying to win oscars not trying to make an interesting movie for the audience
>>64880439
How is calling something pretentious criticism at all? That means... nothing to me.
>>64882990
it's definitely worth watching in theaters, seeing as some of those Oscar nominations are for sound
>>64883017
It's literally too artsy for /tv/, we're 9gag tier
>>64882990
Just saw it in the theater. I recommed to watch it in private. Theater ruins a lot of moments with people making noises and shit.

>>64883131
Leo rescued her from the French who were raping her. Later, we see that her father found her, she was the second one on the horse when Leo fought down Hardy. They slowed the time for it, I think, so people like you would observe, by her distinct eyemarkings, that it was her and she'd be reunited.

Maybe you should pay attention. That girl was traded in for some horses to get another girl. Frenchies said he wanted a wife. Saved girl was the sold woman, not the stolen woman that is their original motivation
>>64883277
You claim it's pretentious based on absolutely nothing. That's what I was addressing. Try to pay attention.
How the fuck was he running through thick snow at full speed towards the end of the movie. It was only a couple of days after he was almost mauled to death..
>>64883328
>Saved girl was the sold woman, not the stolen woman that is their original motivation
The girl was literally the one the Indians were looking for. They didn't trade any women with the French. Nigger you need to pay attention.
>>64883171
>Why not?
Because the golden rule of story telling is to cut everything out of your story that is not necessary to your story. So if it's a simple story that just tells a revenge story and nothing more, it's incredibly shit at that

Bear claws traded to magical pawnee injun bought him a night in the healing hut. Vitality recharged to 80%. Can't make this shit up.
Really liked it and didn't find it at all pretentious, even though I was expecting it to be. It was a lot more entertaining than I expected, reminded me of some of Ford's great westerns really. Something like Hateful 8 is a lot more pretentious imo.

You like pretentious shit. People like you are cancer.
i dont give a fuck about your faggy artistic arguments, the question is, is it worth torrenting?
Everyone seems to complain about shit that is actually good, but no one seems to notice that the bear attacked in a goddamn pacific northwest forest when it should be next to a thin ass muddy river lined with cottonwoods. and endless grassland all around. Fucking location location location.

>now she has the cinema bug and wants me to take her to see the Revenant and Spotlight (if it even shows here, idk)
Don't think my wallet's going to make it, brahs, at least tell me it's going to be worth it. The Revenant looks fun except for the long take in the trailer during the action scene, I'm normally a fan of them but it just looked out of place in the setting and genre. I'm not familiar wiht the director's works, though.

Eh the story is actually lackluster and if you wanan have some western revenge story, Django tells it a hundred times better and has like the same length.
Despite people calling it pretentious the scenery shots and the realism is the saving grace of the movie. First movie where I felt "Oh shit. Bears are fucking brutal. If you ever were to face a bear, you're fucked"
>>64883920

i didnt find boyhood entertaining at all
plus all those fucking interviews with Richard Linklater
>>64883861

I thought it was funny that there were indians in the movie, but they went extinct well before the revolutionary war. Was this ever addressed in the movie?

10/10 baitEverything you said is still correct tho
>>64884062
Brit here, never studied anything regarding the American history really, but weren't they still taming the West well into the 19th century? No idea where the film takes place, or if that particular area had already been pacified.
>>64883419
Same fucking face pain because same fucking tribe. I looked this up because it was not clear although I know you are right. They never made this clear. The French guy said he wanted a woman and next time you see them they have a woman. Not only that but his quote about the five horses makes it sound like the girl was traded for the horses. HUGE plothole because many people would put two and two together like that.
>>64884062
Not by a long shot, they were fighting until well near 1900
>>.64881100
>realistic
this is an invalid criticism as a performance isn't rated for realism but for how it connects with an audience. obviously, it connected with members of the academy, the only people who matter when it comes to oscar nominations.
my opinion, within the context of the film, Leo's performance was stellar. however, if we're talking about realism, again, not really a valid criticism since each film creates its own relative reality, Leo's depiction of pain worked rather well.
If it wasn't getting praise then we could all agree that it's just a good, exciting movie. There was nothing deep about it but it was tense the whole way through, had great visuals, great acting, great costume design, and a decent story. There's nothing to read into so why can't people just enjoy it for what it is? A badass guy doing badass things and managing to not die against overwhelming odds.
>>64884174
Ok, I was just shitposting, but since you asked a sincere question, I'll put my doodoo pen down.
The movie got the indians right. Things around this time would go from open season on whites to good trading partners, depending on the season and especially the tribe.
The later 1800's got really nasty for indian/white relations. The fur era had tons of intermarriages, primarily for trading purposes. To this day, most indians that don't have an indian sounding last name have french or german names.
The location of the film missed by a long shot at times. You'd be seeing nothing but open plains and winding muddy rivers in an accurate movie.
>>64884323
>A badass guy doing badass things and managing to not die against overwhelming odds
That's ol Fitzgerald for you
>>64880439
Because you obviously have shitty taste on movies. I bet you're watching too much transformers movies.
>>64884323
I literally watched it because of the Oscar hype. When I first saw the trailer I thought "looks kinda boring, will probably skip". Then I hear from all sides that it's actually amazing so I go check it out and it's exactly as boring as the trailer tells. Every single interesting thing happens in the trailer.
So no I don't agree with that. I fell for the Oscar movies are good meme
>>64884347
2 bad he died fag
>>64884391
I thought it was one of the most exciting movies I've seen in a long time. Not because of suspense over what will happen but just because of the constant danger the characters were in.
>>64884560
>but just because of the constant danger the characters were in.
Yeah that kinda got me on the edge too. Sometimes. But it doesn't really hold up for 2 hours. You know he needs to face Fitz in the end so he's gonna survive no matter what so that feeling stopped about halfway through.
And the climax it was building up to wasn't all that satisfying
>>64884645
It was definitely a little too long but that's my only complaint. The repeated flashbacks were unnecessary.
>>64881995
You're actually the pleb. You dismiss long takes because you think they're a meme instead of looking at them in terms of story and what they're trying to accomplish visually. Fuck you.
>>64884823
So what did Inarritu mean by those?
>>64882556
Motion picture or something? Yeah it's stupid.
>>64884174
Really very accurate. There are Cree, Pawnee, and Sioux referenced throughout the movie. Cree is separate language family I think. I'm curious, I don't think they said what tribe his wife and son were.
The Revenant is simply the representation of the artistic bankruptcy plaguing the contemporary film industry.
Like Birdman, Iñárritu's last endeavor in hackery, this latest attempt is to convince the masses that what they are viewing is something deep or meaningful, when all it has done is push forward shallow technicality and exaggeration to make the frame pulsate with vulgar loudness. Characters are mere veneers, the cinematography is pretty but so conspicuous as to be rendered aggravating and the thesis is about as overdone as DiCaprio's acting. The camera feels like it has been waiting all day for a climactic shot and the film's deliberately difficult production history is laid bare in the indulgent cinematography.
Thematic complexity and philosophical subtext take a back seat to what amounts to as basically an action movie with action stars wrapped up in the veil of arthouse. And much like Salome, what lies beneath is ultimately puerile, obscene and holding fascination only for adolescents.
Iñárritu is guilty of something far greater than simply making a bad movie. He is guilty for the crime of gestating his pretense and self-importance, forcing many others to labor over it in a misguided attempt to create art and daring to call the afterbirth a film. Perhaps instead of taking his cast and crew to the ends of the Earth in search of a better shot, the Mexican counterfeit filmmaker should have taken his juvenile and crass sensibilities to the seedy San Fernando valley. There he could have at least made a profit of filming all the money shots he wanted.

Even if some people think its pretentious garbage and some people thought it was good, can we at LEAST agree this is the GOAT soundtrack. I mean, 10 out of fucking 10 right here.

The Contrarian was better IMHO senpai.

So fucking sorry it doesn't snap to a new angle every 0.8 seconds like your fucking shitstained capeshit you turbonigger.
>>64886055
long takes and scenery arent bad unless they take away from the movie.
it took away from the revenant
>>64886417
Prove it.
>>64884560
>>64884645
I literally was not invested in the characters at all
>>64886662
Prove that it took away from the revenant?
It certainly didnt add anything to the plot or impact IMO
The screentime could have been used to develop better characters and explore more motivation to survive, like giving more time to develop the french or even just cut to the camp more.
Why is your opinion getting so much attention?
>>64885410
>dude I can't believe someone wanted nice cinematography in a flick lmao
>yeah it's good but it doesn't count because he's a hack
>>64887080
Its a movie that came out recently dude
>>64886417
Bullshit. It "took away" for you because you're not used to watching a movie that isn't cut to death.

/tv/ shits on it?
Must be a pretty good film
This film is the biggest pleb filter since Tree of Life. Let me guess, what's /tv/'s favourite film of the year, Mad Max?
>>64887624
old friend of mine has been freaking out on normiebook about how bad it is and was going ape shit about how good star wars was not too long ago. perfect example of the type of person who wouldn't be into this.
>>64882072
>attempting to impress by affecting greater importance, talent, culture, etc., than is actually possessed.
>than is actually possessed.
That shit is impressive as fuck, and a lot of those shots were technically overwhelmingly impressive from a production point of view. Other than Cameron and his 3d gimmicks, fucking around with extended take action sequences is essentially the only new ground being broken in modern filmmaking.
>You're the reason Kino is dead.
People on the internet that seemingly call movies or filmmaking in general "Kino" are the reason Kino is dead. That shit's a light brah.
I liked it. It had a really realistic feeling. The horse and the endfight, wow, what a bloody mess.
The cgi bear was frightening and well made. The last 10 minutes reminded me of Red Dead Redemption, even the music.
I had fun, 8/10, /tv/ can suck my dick

damn

The Danish Girl
>>64888016
By everyone who knows what they're talking about. Contrarian plebs and faggots waiting for Batman don't count.
I'm just happy we are getting decent westerns recently, we don't get them often
>>64888217
Listen to this fucking guy. Just enjoying stuff and being positive. What a faggot.
>>64888217
>Western
This was literally a EASTERN

>>64886417
>it took away from the revenant
You suck at watching movies.
>>64886690
Sounds like a personal problem brah
Damn fine pictures. Majestic. I guess watching it on a TV (or on the small computer screen while a /tv/ tab is open, like OP does) doesn't really work very good with this film.
>>64887700
I enjoyed both quite thoroughly, in different ways and for different reasons.
Almost like it's fucking stupid to compare opinions about space fantasy and experimental survival porn.

Ah, I never even considered that. Thank you for making sense of this plebbery.
>>64880702
>durr hurr i'm so insecure about watching good movies that I'll take a shit on something good just because it's actually good
Go fuck yourself inbred.
I liked the long takes tbqh. My dad said it made him nauseous.
It made me feel so much more involved in the first battle between the Indians and the trappers. Seems like most movies now would have had 27 different camera angles, all super shaky cam, with every take just long enough for you to see that some dude is getting fucked up until it switches to the next dude getting fucked up. The first battle must have been a complete bitch to film. I thought it was done well, and felt very grisly and involved.
>>64883282
>2.5 hours
>long
Patience is a virtue sonny
>>64880439
I liked it more than Birdman.
It didn't go "I'm an artist when I go out there I give my all!"
It also knew when to cut instead of making the whole thing look like one take.
>>64883850
IRL there wasn't a son that got killed by Fitzgerald.
IRL Glass didn't kill him because he was an officer or something along that line.
>>64882591
/tv/ has long reached the point that anything even slightly or vaguely predictable is now herald as absolute shit.
>what? they're using CAMERAS? how PREDICTABLE. SHIT MOVIE.
>>64880439
>only 81% on RT
That's pretty low for an oscar contender
>>64889431
That fucking 9/11 porn Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close was nominated and that shit had a 46%
>>64883126
God forbid we connect and relate with the movie and don't have shit crammed down our throats
"LOOK AT THIS. YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THIS CHARACTER IN THE NEXT 15 MINUTES."
>>64883126
>Watching a 2hr+ movie takes up too much of my precious time.
>Shitposting about it on /tv/ for 4 hours doesn't.
>>64881250
>Ryuichi Sakamoto
Who the fuck is this guy? I liked the score but it seems like everybody knows this guy already. What was his previous stuff?
>>64880526
Sicario
Will Leo finally win an Oscar?
The ending was a shittier old boy.
I liked revenant but old boy is the superior revenge story
>>64880526
honestly The End of the Tour should have won best picture, but you know "fuck anything that meks you think"
>>64880439
Bear rape
>>64890034
Pretty weak comparison familia. Other than that they both feature "revenge" as a theme, they're nothing alike.
>>64883126
Yeah let's just tell a story about a man's long ass journey across hundreds of miles of wilderness in an hour and a half
>>64885027
They create immersion and spectacle. They have profound impact on my viewing experience when done properly. If it didn't work for you that's unfortunate but there's no reason to fault the technique itself in this context.
I loved it. I saw it twice already
I liked Biutiful and Babel made me hate non Americans.
Seriously if the depiction of that beta police officer is realistic then Japan is doomed. It was hentai Doujin tier shit
The only thing I want it to win is in the costume department.
Fancy suits and buttons can eat shit.
>>64890172
I meant the literal ending. His face doesn't look nearly as good as Korean man.
While both had different themes Old boy was way better in the revenge department. Revenant has a pretty bitching fight but ends with Leo getting revenge. Old boy ends with the guy taking revenge killing himself but Korean guy was absolutely destroyed.
>>64890627
Then you're comparing the actors, not the ending.
>>64890383
I think the cop just didn't want to go to jail for banging an underage girl. That deaf chick was unstable as fuck, there's no way she could keep a secret.
>>64880439
it was good, and you just think if something is liked widely then no one can like it.
>>64890627
>>64891224
He's comparing actors AND the ending. Oldboy was making an entirely different point. Oldboy was designed to make you feel like you, the viewer, got fucking raped. It goes all out with ruining the protagonist, but let's not forget they then took a step back and had him get hypnotized or whatever bullshit that was.
Weak comparison. Not all revenge movies are supposed to fuck over the protagonist and deny them their revenge. You'd be better served comparing Revenant to either of Park's other movies in his vengeance trilogy.
Thank you! I just finished that 2.5hr Oscar bait, wannabe epic, that could easily edited into a decent 1.5hr revenge flick.
>>64891869
Any movie over 90 minutes is oscar b8 shit. Spread the word brother! ;^)
>>64889413
It's just a meme. Everything is a meme. When will you understand this?
>There are people on this board who genuinely think Innaritu makes movies just to win awards.
>>64883546
That's a pretty fucking shitty explanation. I liked the movie up until the last couple of scenes where DiCaprio seemed to be immune from his wounds and became fucking superman with a vengeance.
I don't understand why Inarritu would make him regain so much strength. Even if a couple weeks or so had gone by, he would not be anywhere near recovered enough to take on healthy man in the fucking mountain peaks. It just made the whole film come off as rushed and half-assed to me. Even if I did enjoy the cinematography.
>>64893745
GLASS CONFIRMED FOR MARY SUE
>>64880439
Boring story held together by meaningless transition shots that looked like a bunch of preloaded desktop wallpapers. Ugly kid, Native American bitch, and the guy from Ex Machina gave shit performances in comparison to Leo and Hardy (Hardy > Leo though, Hardy was convincing, Leo wasn't)
>>64892273
Only good film he made was Amores Perros
