Watched this recently, and whilst I'm late to the party, I've arrived with the dust settled.
What the fuck was it even about?
It was about PTA finally killing the fedora tipper audience he picked up with TWBB for good. With The Master he knocked them all to the ground, with Inherent Vice he stood over them and then cut open their throats.
Looks like art is finally back on the menu, boys.

What's next for the big goy?
it was the best film of 2014
the book is even better
>>63681161
Noir tropes for their own sake, divorced from a coherent plot.
>>63681282
You didn't get it.
>>63681161
About how the innocence of the 60's had to make way for the paranoia and uncertainty of the 70's
Also, about finding a slut.
>>63681282
lmao

Yeah it's this. It was a great film. Great film to watch stoned.

>divorced from a coherent plot
have you ever read any noir?
>>63681223
no really
what was it about
>This raised a lot of questions for Doc, such as "what the hell is going on here?"
Don't forget it's also a comedy
>>63681308
this
the co-option and degradation of the flower power bullshit from a host of interests, police, media, the culture itself
also the government propping up a jew to run a casino amongst the italian majority

>also the government propping up a jew to run a casino amongst the italian majority
that part was in the book but not in the film
>>63681441
It was too jarring and depressing to actually be funny.
>>63681480
It was in the film in exposition, Doc just didnt see Mickey at the casino itself. I'd have loved the Vegas jaunt to be included, but they can't all be Magnolia length i guess.

What does it mean if There Will Be Blood is my favorite movie, but I also love The Master and Inherent Vice?That I am capable of forming my own taste?
>>63681490
I laughed my ass off desu
>>63681538
Means you have bad taste all around.
>>63681538
Better be careful with what's in that spoiler, the sheepAHEM i mean people on /tv/ won't like it if they catch word of it
It's about the unavoidable change that comes with the passage of time. It's about the mainstream co-opting and corrupting the counterculture. It's about the corporatization of America.
(book spoiler, kinda)

That's you have the cinematic sensibilities of a 16 year old video game player with asperger's syndrome.
>>63681676
yep,
and visiting whats his name, that dang hunk, at that strange installation in the desert
Can't say I loved Greenwood's score. The soundtrack choices were perfect, but his score seemed a little cold, a little out of step
