He intensified Jesse's fear of penetration (and subsequent loss of her virginal power). He penetrates her with a knife in her warning premonition so she knows to lock the door, frustrating his efforts and causing him to defer to the girl in the next room.

I went in wanting to like it after liking Only God Forgives and feeling it got unjustified hate by people who just thought it was random and lacked a story. So keep in mind that was my mindset when I say this movie was a total piece of shit and devolved into random pretentious bullshit.
Maybe it really is just too smart for me but I feel like i'm generally attentive and looking for deeper meaning in movies and I got absolutely nothing out of the Neon Demon. When Jesse died I thought the movie was at the half way point, maybe the plot would thicken, its pretty fucking weird I wouldn't have been surprised if she wasn't really dead, but no the movie simply lacks a plot, good characters, themes, or anything else to make it good. Her death and everything after it feel totally retarded and empty. It officially becomes random nonsense after Jesse's stage closing, before that I didn't even think it was good but I thought there was potential for it to turn into something more interesting.

The trailer >>71259931 is so much better than the movie. The music and visuals/lighting are so good its actually unfitting for the movie they're in. If there's something i'm just not getting by all means explain it to me.
>>
How were the lesbo scenes
>>
>>71260231
It's because Jesse was pure (She is both natural beauty and a virgin) They ate her to be more beautiful like she is, and they just can't achieve natural beauty that way.

It's symbolic of how the industry devours innocence and how women tear each other apart in order to feel beautiful again

the other model wasn't as sociopathic as abbey lee, she felt bad
>>
>>71260754
Well yea but thats very surface level and simple. There is nothing wrong with that, im not saying its bad, but that idea doesn't justify such complex visuals and story telling when its really just that simple.
>>
>>71260231
It's a satire of the cannibalistic nature of the beauty/modelling industry. The main women represent: True beauty/virginity/purity, inner beauty/womanhood/maternalism(?), faux beauty, and lost beauty. They eat Jesse to gain her virginal power to mixed reactions. Faux beauty gains from it in the industry and isn't phased as her morality is aesthetic itself. Lost beauty is unable to ever regain it and thus rejects it completely. I'm still struggling with Ruby/Inner beauty but I'm assuming it has to do with a rebirth or something. The rebirth/recycling of femininity/purity. That also ties into the death fetish/ sexual lust contrasting with Jesse's young and naive virginity. Just my opinion. Don't listen to vampire posters.

Why must the story be really complicated to justify great visuals and music? When I watch Refn films for the first time, I usually just concentrate on the visuals and the music.
>>
>>71260565
I liked OGF too, mainly because it's simply a crime drama told in a very dialogue free way.

This movie however, seems to be going straight edge for a while, and then just focuses more on the critique of beauty/obsession with it. If you don't view it in the latter way then the eyeball puking scene, drenching yourself in DNA evidence, and characters just dropping off from the face of the earth will just seem like bad directing.

inner beauty- maybe like an appreciation of beauty, desire for beauty (for beauty itself, not just to be yourself beautiful like the models wanted), to literally consume it and have it in you

>>71261039
I dont think it needs to be complicated but like I said originally it felt very pretentious and I was disconnected from the movie because I was not invested in any of the characters or plot, and the symbolism was not meaningful enough to replace those things. Like the necro part was really long but had an incredibly low level of substance to it. Yes it was as well shot as that could of been and the music is good but I just didn't care that much.

Found it ironic that the director character who should know natural beauty would think a girl like this is artificial. Shows that these kinds of people will rationalize/justify their aesthetic preferences and hold them as objective metrics.

Over his last 3 films it's pretty obvious that style IS substance for Refn.

Necrophilia scene was unnecessary. It didn't show us anything besides Jenna Malone really thirsting for Elle Fannings fanny. Prove me wrong tv

>>71261163
you're thinking too hard. not everything in film has to be able to be distilled down into very discrete symbolism that you can explain in a paragraph. that's what the artform is for, you dingus; visual/audio representation of a thought/theme/idea.
>>
>>71261163
I felt like he made the characters just symbols or metaphors in the latter half the film, so I can kind of forgive him for making the characters unlikable.

What really can't be forgiven though is the casting of Keanu. Apparently he was supposed to be menacing, but I walked out of the movie thinking he was supposed to be comic relief and that Jesse was just being paranoid.

Maybe it's just because I can't take Keanu's acting seriously.

Did any of you overheard what members of audience thought about the film? I saw the film two weeks ago and people a lot of people hated it and thought that film made no sense. A lot of them were actually laughing nervously and covering the screen with their hands during certain scenes at the end. I don't think people even got the cannibalistic parts at all.

My theater just had me, a couple, and a pair of women in their 50s in it. I think it took awhile for the women in their 50s to get it because they kept giggling at early bits of dialogue for some reason. But by the end, everyone seemed pretty engaged. We all stayed through the credits.

They laughed way too much at the movie, but I heard some girls say they loved that it was the best of both worlds - that it was artistic yet ridiculous.

Interesting Point, I understood, the whole morgue issue, that the morgue sort of represented the agency she worked at and the corpse was one of the "dead" models, so she was sleeping with someone who was dead inside and thinking about the person she loved (not sure about the love part).
>>
>>71261430
Someone just burst out of laughing during the eye vomiting scene (I kind of understood her, the way the girl who watch the other vomit acts is just so weird and unsettling...).

I honestly really LOVED this. I had high hopes and while it wasn't really what I was expecting (more horror desu) it was still really great. The soundtrack and he visuals kept me interested the entire time and my waifu Elle bouncing around in her bra and panties with her puffy bits jiggling around was some nice eye candy.


It was kind of sad watching Jesse start off as an innocent shy child to quickly get literally eaten up by the modeling world


Seems like to would be fun to watch on drugs

What this film tried to do message-wise, Showgirls did 10 times better 20 years ago.

Refn is a visual director first and foremost, and that's all you should look for in his flicks. And that's not a condemnation, that's a compliment, because he's one of the most inventive and arresting visual directors working today.

I don't understand lesbian sexuality at all (I know how girls want to get fucked by me, namely roughly, so I DONT understand the way in which a girl wants sex with another girl) and I highly doubt Refn does.
So if we think about Ruby as if she was guy, she/he just had the hots for her. Like when you see a beautiful 14yo girl and it hurts a little because you know it's wrong (pic related, an actress).

The guys in the movie, also want to have her/fuck her because she's beautiful, not necessarily because she's hot. She's like a baby/child, not a Monica Bellucci kind of sexy.

It's true that Ruby is the "normal"/basic woman in the movie, and she has to do with vagina in the movie (may it be pleasure through sex, masturbation, of giving birth / squirting blood). Someone above wanted to relate her with "inner beauty" - I don't see that at all.

I also think one must drop all logic when it comes to the sudden character changed when she "steps inside the triangle" and kisses her mirror image. (And she later is killed when in the triangle)

Not really difficult to get. Most lesbians like it rough because that's how most girls like it, bi girls will tell you that it's more about sensuality and the beauty of the woman's body. It's more about sharing than straight sex, which is a more about being manhandled.

>buy tickets online/fandango
This is to avoid standing in line alone, diminishing time where your mind can wander and give you a sense of regret or insecurity. Just walk in, don't give any eye contact, scan your ticket and then leave a nice little tip for the ticket ripper.

>get to your seat 10 minutes early
This is to avoid walking into the theater while everyone is already sitting down. Walking into a theater alone and feeling all those eyes weigh down on you is quite unnerving.

>sit in the back row
Just like in tip #2, the less people know you're alone the better. Minuscule and feint giggling coming from rows above can be taken out of context and make you feel like wanting to slit your wrists. Sitting in the back is the way to go.

>sit in the corner closest to the stairs.
This way once the credits roll you can pop up and walk down the stairs first before anyone. Just keep your head down and keep moving.

>if you want to buy a snack
There are sacrifices you need to make if you want to go alone. Either bring a snack yourself or take a risk and stand in line alone. The more you think about being alone, the bigger chance you'll bitch out and leave.

Nic's autism actually works with women because he's not as self-conscious as most betas. He's not the kind to shy away when he talks about sex and rarely vulgar about it even though he uses the word "fuck" a bit too much. I think he got more confidence since Drive and I'm pretty sure he'd be able to seduce any actress he wants. I'm not even joking.

It's probably only gonna make a couple hundred bucks tops. Theaters have a business to run, they can't show films noone's going to watch for months just so you can wait a couple weeks to see it. If you want to see it go watch it now.

If you like Whit Stillman's style (dialogue-heavy, more emphasis on the script than visuals, women acting catty, screwball-pace humor) you'll enjoy it. Better than Barcelona, but not as good as Metropolitan, Last Days of Disco, or Damsels in Distress.

Haven't read the thread yet but I'll post my opinions and interpretations first then read through other anon's opinions.

Movie was really good. I thought the satirical aspects were a little heavy handed but it was okay because I'm a pleb and wouldn't have gotten it otherwise. Keanu was a neat little comedic character, I always enjoy seeing that guy on the screen. The rectangle imagery I didn't really get, but the triangle imagery I interpreted as representing Elle's state of mind (blue triangle for purity goes to red as she starts getting deeper into shit). I thought the parallel between sexuality and violence was very well done in this one, Refn's getting really good at that (compare Drive's strip club hammer scene with the necrophilia scene and the murder/shower scene and you'll see a clear difference). I thought the ending dragged on way too long and wasn't very satisfying; like after having great sex but you try to get going again but just can't do much with it. And the period/full moon imagery was a little odd, it seemed to represent the start of a new cycle and that was reinforced by introducing the other young girl for the shoot, but the whole cycle aspect was dropped immediately afterwards.

>Best scenes
Jena Malone lesbian necrophilia
Wildcat
Murder and following shower, that scene was really fucking powerful

there really isnt much to see, its just some lip gloss with the logo of the movie on it, complete with the NWR. the temp tats, however, are awesome. its got the colored rhinestones she wears around her eyes on the poster, as well as those gold bars she wears in her first photo shoot. im really tempted to cosplay as Jesse the next time i go to a party, but i also want to keep the tats forever.
