What do you think of Chinatown?
>>68802339
It's good but Nicholson is an awful actor.
>>68802339
Masterpiece.
>>68802365
Jesus Christ, what a shitty opinion.
>>68802365
You really think that?
>>68802339
one of the best mystery scripts of all time, with amazing cinematography, sets, direction, casting, performances, and a pretty good story
essential for anyone interested in Hollywood films
>>68802339
Haven't finished it yet. I turned off my laptop did a 360 and walked right out of my room after pic related.
>>68802414
Need happy endings in your flicks, Amerifat?
Watching Faye Dunaway is difficult for me.
>>68802459
Why?
She's brilliant in Network, Chinatown and Bonnie and Clyde.
>>68802339
I forgot it
>>68802414
You missed out on the big important mystery: "PATRIARCHY IS BAD"... you did good, Chinatown is worse than Network, which is just "IF IT'S NOT MATRIARCHY (OR BLACK) THEN IT IS INCOMPETENT"
>>68802339
>>>/film/
>>68802557
>Network, which is just "IF IT'S NOT MATRIARCHY (OR BLACK) THEN IT IS INCOMPETENT"
How is Network in anyway like that?
>>68802557
Fuck you and people like you for ruining this place and making it devoid of any actual discussion
Muh blacks
Muh women
Muh sjw
Muh leftists
If you hate these things so much why don't you shut the fuck up about them
>>68802516
No thanks, she overplays the "dating is difficult for a sexy woman" angle
And she has such punchably high cheeks.
>>68802339
YOU'RE SCREWIN' JUST LIKE A CHINAMAN
>>68802627
>No thanks, she overplays the "dating is difficult for a sexy woman" angle
How?
>>68802339
My wife will not watch this with me. Divorce, or is this just a movie that ovaries will never understand?
>>68802642
His delivery on that is perfect and so is his laugh. always laugh at that moment.
>>68802597
ANGRY MANAGERS YELLING IS MANLY
CALM WOMAN HAS IT ALL UNDER CONTROL, ALL HER PREDICTIONS TURN UP ROSES, NAYSAYERS BE LIKE..
PESSIMISTIC LEAD WRAPPED AROUND FINGER
>"I'M A WOMAN AND I AM HERE TO TAKE YOUR JOB"
>"YOU ARE SO ATTRACTIVE FOR DOING THAT, LETS DATE"
I didn't really like it at all.
I know it's a contrary opinion, I'm sorry.
>>68802721
Are you dense? Diane is a masculine a woman as possible. She compares herself to them constantly and even describes how she fucks like a man at one point.
She's not indicative of women at all.
>>68802622
I won't have contradictions thrown at me without pointing them out and demanding that they stop, that is my job as a man.
>>68802739
It's ok anon.
>>68802667
Did you're wife's son watch it?
>>68802739
There's no shame in having poor taste. Most of the population does.
>>68802759
Precisely why male characters deemed "highly" masculine but no match for a girl shouldn't be shown to be head over heals for her, we are meant to be attune to these contradictions.
>>68802812
Who is no match for her? She's Hackett's lackey, can't control Beale when he goes in Ruddy's direction and Max btfo of her when he dumps her.
You don't know what you're talking about.
>>68802721
Could you project your insecurities any harder?
>>68802775
I fucking love this meme. Thank you.
I didn't like it
I know everyone says it's a masterpiece, but it's literally like every fucking noir movies since the 40s
>>68802878
>can't control him
>has him assassinated
His I'm leaving you for not loving me speech is not BTFO anybody but his own desperate need for honesty, zero sympathy for that character.
>>68802339
bretty good ending

Watched it about 10 years ago.
It was ok, but nothing special.
>>68802557
i have no idea what this post means
there's no aspect of feminism at all in the movie
the hero is a good white bread quick-on-his-feet clever cis-hetero man, everything feminists HATE
>>68803056
what comparable movies do you prefer, anon? i find chinatown a 9/10 at least, for the reasons above >>68802413
>>68802990
>can't control him
>has him assassinated
That was a group decision and it's Hackett who proposes the idea. She just goes along and has a connection with the Ecumenical to get the job done.
>His I'm leaving you for not loving me speech is not BTFO anybody but his own desperate need for honesty, zero sympathy for that character.
It's too late, Diana. There's nothing left in you that I can live with. You're one of Howard's humanoids. If I stay with you, I'll be destroyed. Like Howard Beale was destroyed. Like Laureen Hobbs was destroyed. Like everything you and the institution of television touch is destroyed. You're television incarnate, Diana: Indifferent to suffering; insensitive to joy. All of life is reduced to the common rubble of banality. War, murder, death are all the same to you as bottles of beer. And the daily business of life is a corrupt comedy. You even shatter the sensations of time and space into split seconds and instant replays. You're madness, Diana. Virulent madness. And everything you touch dies with you. But not me. Not as long as I can feel pleasure, and pain... and love.
BTFO
>>68803061
The guy is fucking clueless. Of all the targets for his impotent rage he picks Chinatown and Network as examples of overt feminism and patriarchal upheaval?
What a retard.
>>68802897
>pre-emptive poke trying to hide behind debate audiences need for novelty
I don't mind reusing: you are the insecure one, you don't want everyone to know that you get by on the contradictions others believe about you.
>>68803146
BTFO would be moving on with someone else instantly and not caring what happens to her, not trying to help her with self-help advice. That stinks of Cpt save-a-hoe desperation.
>>68802365
/tv/ has reached full contrarian
>>68803328
I hate when people generalise an entire board.
No one agrees with that anon.
>>68803315
>Self help
It's a acid critique of who she is as a person. You're fucking dumb.
>>68803767
Accurate critique is always meant as constructive, love.
No smart person offers this service to a rival for free. Anything but D R O P P E D when walking out glorifies vindictiveness.
>forget it Jake, its Chinatown
turned it off right there
What do you think of the sequel?
>>68802339
That's pretty good
>>68804193
The poster is nice
>>68802459
>>68802365
What actors/actresses do you prefer?
>>68804193
>>68802414
most depressing ending ever
i still have PTSD aboutthat
What are other movies where everything would've turned out much better if the protagonist didn't get himself involved at all.
>>68806511
You in your parent's lives
>>68806551
cold.
>>68802339
I always get it confused with big trouble in little china
I shouldn't
>>68807059
Made me chuckle, thanks anon.
>>68803091
just check out all the classic noir
maltese falcon
double indemnity
the big sleep
in a lonely place
asphalt jungle
touch of evil
then come on and discuss after you see each
noir threads are some of the only half-way decent threads we still have on /tv/
