i cant believe you faggots baited me into watching this
Just make sure you don't see Neon Demon. It's like the guy spent a couple of years learning to love the smell of his own shit even more.
The guy is pissing his talent away. Seems less and less like an auteur and more and more like a fashion photographer who got a lucky break.
I thought everyone hated OGF.
I really, really liked it, but it seems like I'm in the minority.
>tfw you got baited into watched BvS
can't believe I fell for that shit
Shittest of the Autism Trilogy

Only God Forgives is a pleb filter.
Same with BvS and S2 of True Detective.

This nonsense is so inorganic to any sense of globetrotter restlessness or anything explicitly or metaphorically to do with British or American colonialism that it just feels derivative. That Kubrickian scene in Drive of dead-eyed strippers watching an assault gets extended here in a more elaborate whorehouse sequence where catatonic hookers bear mute witness to instances of police corruption. Refn’s tableau of organdy-gowned call-girls listening to pop while watching violence in a bouquet-bedecked whorehouse is the ultimate David Lynch parody.
Gosling and Refn have art ambitions–a strange sense of fun. But how can film culture progress with fantasies like this? There’s no shock or outrage left. Refn relies upon a level of menace (unerotic, non-provocative) that precludes caring about or responding to violence, vulnerability, mortality. This is cinema for unsophisticated viewers who don’t already know Bunuel’s eye-slashing, Altman’s Coke bottle assault or Shakespeare/Julie Taymor’s Titus. Children of Kubrick, Friedkin, Lynch and Tarantino, they remain infantile about movies.

I liked it.

BvS was good, not great, but no where near as bad as the critics made it out to be. It was a good entertaining film with some major flaws but still good in despite of them.
S2 of True Detective was pure trash and missed everything that made the original series great. It shouldn't have been called True detective even, it was just a shitty crime drama that had none of the themes or motifs of the original.

I don't know what OGF has to do with Batman Vs Superman and I never watched season 2 of True Detective, but I thought OGF was good. I don't care if you think I'm a pleb.
The cinematography was absolutely fantastic, and I think that Refn really managed to nail that surreal vibe that he seems to always be aiming for I found the symbolism fairly intriguing and I remember thinking about the film for a few days after I finished watching it, which is more than I can say for a lot of films.
BvS catches a bad rep because Marvel has too many shills

Why do people keep talking about BvS? Whats the relation?
ogf will eventually be regarded as refns magnum opusand sucker punch will go down as snyders
cap this
I'm most annoyed about /tv/ bamboozling me into watching synecdoche ny
>>71901889
Nobody will ever hold sucker punch in high regard.
Which is a shame, because I thought it was much more entertaining than most of his other shit movies. I did watch it on a plane though, so I was really desperate for something to watch.
