hello who is this semen demon ?
>>71258649
>THE WICKED DIE YOUNG
wow that's subtle
what the FUCK was the purpose of Hank.
>>71259348
which one was Hank again?
>>71259348
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.
>>71259604
Oh I see. I figured she had already given in to narcissism and that began the degradation of her purity - but this makes sense.
Directing: 9/10
Soundtrack: 9/10
Acting: 8/10
Story: 6/10
>>71259744
She had, but not fully. She was still clinging to it
>>71258649
What was the ending supposed to mean? Why did they eat her? Why was she pushed in an empty pool? Why did the girl kill herself and the other one eat the eye? Whats Rubys role?
Why so many semon demon threads? Did a torrent come out or something?
I think I can see it for free in a few weeks, looks like it's part of the open day.
>>71260247
no it came out in theaters this weekend and believe it or not there are actually people who have left their house and paid money to see it in theaters.
>>71258649

HOWEVER
also, who is this semen demon
BANE?!
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.
>>71260425
>paying money to see movies
Lmao
>>71260595
made me want to mix up my sex life
>>71260088
This is pretty much how I felt
What was going on with the upside down triangles?
>>71260565
>everything after it feel totally retarded and empty. It officially becomes random nonsense
It's symbolic of how the industry devours innocence and how women tear each other apart in order to feel beautiful again
>>71260088
Pretty much this, except I would probably give the story 7/10 just because it reminded me of the stories about Elizabeth Bathory.
>>71260565
Whoever does the visuals and music for Refn's movies are nothing short of gods
Thatnecrophilia scene[/spoiler}
I have a hard hitting question about the ending of this kino
What do you guys think Elle Fanning tastes like?
Would YOU eat her?
>>71260231
google countess bathory
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.
what's her fucking problem?
>>71260699
uterus
the 3 women- ruby and the models
>>71260903
>>71260754
yeah I don't think refn understands women very well, think of it as human nature not women's nature
after all the women were like that bc they were in the system where they had to please the insane standards the men (photographers, designers) set, all while being preyed upon and having no security, job safety or physical safety
>>71260939
>I ate her.
What a god.
>>71260903
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.
>>71260918
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
most direct parallels with the director's role
>>71260939
She is unreal, first saw her in mad max
>in the incandescent glow of the city, it has become apparent that I am the Neon Demon
Was she the most interesting character?
>>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.
>>71261101
the qtest
>>71261163
I agree that the film's characters and the story could have been told in a better way. Like I said for me visuals and music is enough for me to love a film, but I get where you're coming from. Maybe his next film will be better in that department.
goat soundtrack pham imo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvUJsu5w8IU
too bad it's made by his cousin who isn't a really good musician and tries to piggyback of Nicolas
>>71261181
>made fun of whole movie for being korean tier plastic
>irl all natural
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.
>>71261163
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 thecannibalisticparts at all.
>>71261430
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.
>>71261430
my audience liked it
this movie sucked ass
>>71261410
I thought that too, what the hell was up with that
>>71261430
Some girls started giggling during the necro scene. And me and my friends laughed out loud at the REAL LOLITA SJIT line
>>71261430
There were two teenage girls beside me in the theatre and I had no idea why they were there. I made them laugh after I wondered aloud during the trailer for Café Society how Jesse Eisenberg keeps getting work.
Is the vice interview with refn worth watching
>>71260955
>uterus
Ok, but why? Like what's the point of it representing a uterus?
>>71261621
yes there is some decent information and symbolism explained about OGF
>>71261648
Use your mind you dingus.
>>71261319
moar bella
>>71261430
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.
There's just something about a movie being categorized as horror that brings in the worst movie goers. I'm just glad there weren't black people in there or it would have been worse.
>>71261430
fucking normies, get out of my theater REEEEE
>>71258723
/thread
>>71261430
My audience laughed throughout the movie.
They laughed at all the Keanu Reeves moments, and every other quippy piece of dialogue by a model made them laugh.
Audiences laugh way too fucking much at movies.
>>71260231
>Are you food or are you sex?
She was both.
Also, that one mythical story where a woman bathes in the blood of beautiful girs. Was also used in a horror movie of the last years
>>71261672
the three of them wanting the power of her virginity/purity? Jesse embracing her desires and starting to become corrupted by the industry hence blue to red?
My noggin hurts pa.
I have been feminised into an angry lampshade
>>71262038
Don't think about it too much. Just watch it in meditative trance. It will transcend you mind behind the understandable universe.
>>71260231
Because vampires
So were Jena's Malone's tattoos real or nah?
Also:
Drive>Neon Demon>Valhalla Rising>Only God Forgives>Bronson>Fear X
I haven't seen the Pusher flicks
>>71261375
It meant that her beauty/sex was purely superficial. For what Jesse's value is to her, it wouldn't even have mattered to Ruby if Jesse was dead!
>>71261430
I was the only one in my theater desu
>>71260817
Faggot, Igot hard
>>71262322
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 duringthe 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
DUDE FASHION INDUSTRY IS SHALLOW AND ARTIFICAL LMAO
wow Refn, how unique and original
>>71262578
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.
>>71262652
>implying presentation isn't a more effective means to convey a message than plot
>>71262578
>seems like to would be fun to watch on drugs
I was actually thinking of going to film theater again, but I'm afraid paranoia will take over me. Maybe I should just wait for the blu-ray like I did with other Refn films.
>>71262652
>Showgirls
>>71262453
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)
>>71262652
Verhoeven apologists pls leave. Showgirls was good fapping material but the film itself was trash.
>>71260754
does being symbolic automatically mean "good"?
>>71262908
>>71262926
Stay mad, plebs
Showgirls is top-tier trash-kino

>>71262987
No, and no where did I imply that. But the guy said it was empty and random when it wasn't.
should I go see this or Finding Dory tonight /tv/?
>>71263366
This.
You can watch Finding Nemo at home. Neon Demon requires a big screen and soundsystem.
>>71261430
I enjoyed watching the normies sit through the film. Especially the group of teenage girls that probably bought tickets just because "horror film, set in da LA, starring a teenage girl, cool LOL"
>>71263462
>teen girls don't have Sophisticated Tastes like Me
>>71261430
I laughed a lot, very fun movie, very well made.
Someone left when Abbey Lee first try to suck the blood of Elle, another one during the cannibal scene.
>>71263506
They were taking fucking selfies before the film. REEEEEEEEEEEEeeee
>>71262920
>I don't understand lesbian sexuality at all
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.
is it real guys?

>>71260231
Jesus christ are you incapable of thinking for yourself? You really couldn't draw any sort of conclusions after you watched it? I'm not trying to be an asshole, I just can't imagine someone who is unable to think critically if they've had at least one literature class in their life
>>71262322
thanks
>>71262529
I laughed during that scene, pretty sure it was supposed to be funny
>>71260955
>I don't think refn understands women very well
he`s a fucking autist, what did you expect
>>71262578
speaking of horror, is it more of a horror film? like jump scares and shit? or is it more horror in the sense of like gore and disturbing shit.
>>71264944
Horror in the sense of the innocent young girl straying down a dark path trope. No jump scares, just mood.
>>71264944
with some gore at the end though
>>71264806
lmao I unironically believe all of that

Finally able to speak about the movie without the butthurt janitor deleting the threads
Elle fanning didn't even look good
>>71265416
>Elle fanning didn't even look good
is it any good though? i want to see it tonight but kinda nervous because it's opening weekend and all those disgusting normies
WHAT'RE YOU A MORMON?
How are people watching this?
>>71265462
it's good, Elle is a goddess, and if you don't live in a big city there'll barely be anyone there
>>71265462
Trust me, normies aren't seeing this film.
There was literally one other person with me in the theater, and today is only the second day it's been out.
Ruby arching her back on the floor in completely ecstasy under the moonlight was so sexy. Refn really understood what works for Jenna. She was so nice to look at in every scene.
>>71265572
This. Just got out of a Saturday 5pm showing. It was just me and 2 older women.
>>71264944
Horror as in unsettling and a feeling of hopelessness.
>>71264944
i imagine its a horror film in the same way that The Shining is, based on the comparisons
I'm gonna go see this film by myself tonight. This will be my first time going to the theatre alone,
Any tips from someone with experience?
>>71265911
Wear something that'll help you blend in, so that the packs of laughing girls won't notice and point you out.
>>71265911
bring alcohol
>>71265911
Hey people, how does it feel like to be so uncomfortable with yourself you're actually nervous to see a movie by yourself?
>>71265944
kek
>>71265944
so like a polo shirt with a tie? thanks for the tip
>>71265462
>>71265542
I saw it last night in LA and the only one in the theater was an old man that came alone, pretty comfy and very relieved it was just us.
>>71265911
damn good luck going alone fri/sat night is murder suicide
>>71265911
>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.
The movie is a miss, I have no idea what the point of it.
What was he thinking?
>>71258649
What is this about?
whats the weirdest thing the happen to you guys so far
this guy came in a hour into the movie ate a sandwich then left in my showing

thank you. I'm gonna write this down on a piece of paper and use it as a cheat sheet of sorts
>>71266194
yeah and ID:resurgence is playing at 10, the same time as Neon Demon starts.
Even though I live in a very small town there will probably tons of normal folk for ID.
My psychiatrist says I need to start challenging myself more. She's gonna be so proud of me
>>71266307
he was probably hired by the distributor/marketing firm bruh
figured he might as well catch the movie while hes done his job for the night
>>71261757
James pls
>>71266196
And too many fucks were given.
Do you have some other routine like that ? It's kind of fascinating.
>>71266196
I had to give my fandango ticket to the ticket person, the website says to at least. I also like to get the real ticket anyway.
>tip the ticket ripper
who the fuck does this
>>71266196
>I share a board with people like this
Jesus Christ senpaijust kidding, I'm one of you
>>71266779
Well there's the cashier at the box office
The ticket taker
The bathroom attendant
Usher that shows you to your seat and gives them a wipe down.
And, finally, the waiter that takes your order inside the theatre.
Not that bad usually comes out to less than $100 if you go by yourself
>>71265241
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.
>>71266217
Read the fucking thread. You've got plenty of posts analyzing the symbolism, the characters and the story. Remember the rule: the fact that you don't understand it doesn't mean it's shit.
>>71267034
I didn't watch it though

I would too.
>>71267245

>>71265911
don't worry
there's solo people at almost every movie...awkward dudes and qt girls and vice versa
and widowed old people
why is it called "The Neon Demon"?
>boston amc only showing it for three days
what in the fuck. they have 19 goddamn theaters in there
>>71265911
I wouldn't worry. There was only one other person in my theater, and I saw it on opening night.
>>71269174
>Capeshit
that's why
>>71269174
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.
>>71265590
Even thepool watering scene?Yuck. gross bod/10
what did he mean by this?
Did anyone walk out of your theater?
>>71269448
Refn really does look autistic, especially with those glasses.
watching it this weekend with my mom
>>71269547
Bad idea
>>71269448
>Wonna Fight?
>>71269547
i really wouldn't advise that
content warning:necrophilia, attempted rape, cannibalism
>>71269547
What's up with anons taking their moms to this movie? I swear I've seen over 3 people who took their moms on here, and it did not work out well.IS it just because you have no one else to go with?
>>71269593
I do this sometimes if if it's a movie my mother would enjoy, like the latest Whit Stillman movie.
Does anyone have any idea who the "Liz" referred to at the end of the movie is? Is it some kind of symbolic reference to Lesbianism (ie Lezzi Lizzie)?
Who was your favorite model?
Hard Mode: besides Jessie
>>71269645
How is love and friendship is any good?
>>71269174
There is literally nobody but me in the theatre right now

Abbey Lee, see >>71269611
>>71266131
So did you let him rub his mushroom head on your boypussy or what?
>>71269705
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.
>>71269648
Who was referred to as "Liz"? I don't remember.
>>71269788
I tried but my camera is fucked.
>>71269868
Thanks its sound good.
>>71269673
either of the two Australian blondes. Best part of the movie is when they shower together
>>71266217
i bet his daughter loved that
>>71269908
Little better
>>71269902
It's the text at the end of the movie before the credits. It's like "For Liz <3" or something like that.
>>71270006
refn's wife...
>>71269648
I think it's his wife
>>71270006
Oh, right. His wife's name is Liv, maybe it said "For Liv?"
>>71269994
Watch the movie, stop browsing /tv/.
Fucking hell I thought it was bad enough people would be posting on here while watching tv on their computer, but shitposting in a thread while you're watching the movie in the theater. That's an alltime low.

interesting that Gigi, the nicest of the models also looks the most like his wife
also Abbey Lee's character's name is Sarah...did they mention that even once
>>71270710
>Gigi, the nicest of the models
Huh? Gigi was the one always passive-aggressively criticizing Jessie. Sarah was the nicest one.
>>71270770
I mean yes but she felt some guilt and half heartedly was like 'come on guys be nicer' once or twice
>>71270826
No, that was Sarah.
Why was she only in 1 (one) scene, bros?
;_;
>>71271004
and in that suit in the terrible color
love her but couldn't stop looking at where her face wasn't moving :(
>>71270914
No, he's right, that was Gigi. The "bionic woman".
>>71260565
>felt retarded
It was literally foreshadowed throughout the whole movie starting within the first scene. They spoonfeed dumbass Americans like yourself so much, but you still didn't get it. Unreal.
>>71261099
You and everyone else.
>>71262034
No, she wasn't. Lipstick drawing was meant to show the other models that she was meat, not sex.
>>71271432

Man Refn's really gotten great at framing his shots. The girls, the poses, the outfits, the colors, the lighting the ocean. Fantastic.
Anyone notice Elle did that Kyle-Mooney-style-act-with-your-hands at the end of hermonologue on the diving board?
Totally takes me out of the movie when an actor does that, it screams "inexperienced."

Abbey Lee is actually really chill IRL. It was funny to see her acting like such a monster in this film.
I also have to admit the soundtrack and visuals were amazing. Not a perfect film but I'd see it again.

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.

He definitely gave off that vibe. Also fucking lol'd at how the would be bf was like "eww dude wtf" at the mention of the 13 year old, while at the same time trying to fuck a 16 year old.

The penis inspector at the door wouldn't allow anyone over 8 inches in, she thought it would be too "intimidating" for the lesser endowed patrons.

In my theater they had a surprise penis inspection half way through
>>71275094
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.

I just got back from a late night showing and I WAS ALONE!! It was great. Me in an empty theater, the only other time that happened to me was for the rocky and bullwinkle movie and Paul Bunyon Axe Giant.
I loved it, everything felt so dreamy until the end, also loves the heavy suspiria vibes in the beginning m
I saw the original taken at about noon on a tuesday and was alone. completely empty theaters are magical, appreciate them when you can
>>71262649
it's common knowledge it's not a new idea or anything, but there's not very much media about it

Guys, at 26:02, he actually says 'the question was always "who is [this] Neon Demon?" ...and... it's Elle Fanning"
He knows.
Look at his expression when he says it. Refn is a /tv/ browser CONFIRMED.

I went at 5:00 on Saturday, alone, because nobody wants to see "gay girl movies", and there were only 4 other people.

So go complain in the /got/ general then, faggot.
What the fuck is so "liberal" about Refn? It's not like he's endorsing the lifestyles in this film. Not everything has to be political.
>>71279293
Yes, how dare we discuss a new film that was released yesterday by the director of /tv/'s most popular movie ever.
Also, Neon Demon isn't a liberal film. If anything, it's a criticism of the culture of narcissism. But honestly, it's mostly about the aesthetics. Maybe go shit up the Marvel thread instead?
>>71279293
more or less a checklist of shitty forced /tv/ memes.

>>71270091

>>71279468
>criticism of narcisist culture
Wrong. Anytime someone says this about a film they are naive. You cant criticize in order to discourage narcisism, all it does is expose people to the problems in the first place.
An idiot or narcisist would see Jesse from Breaking Bad use heroin and think "Wow did you see how high that guy. Jesus I'd better get me some heroin"
Even if they see the scene with his girlfriend Od'ing and they just think "nah m8 that aint me, I'm not stupid like they are", because they are narcissists. You cant criticize narcissists by the its own definition, they just don't care. A narcissist would see this film and think "well whatever, it ended pretty good in my opinion"
That's narcissism. That's lacking emotional empathy. The more people who are already bordering this edge will not be frightened away from it because what is causing the problem in the first place are concrete societal barriers towards rational development. You cant make a movie to change that. All it does is tell the narcissists in making that their nihilism is justified and even a societal norm. You cant reason with them, why do think teenager seem like such irrational shitheads? Its because they actually are irrational. Exposure to this kind of "praise" in their mind does nothing but encourage it.
If you want to know more about the problem, then actually take some time to research what is creating the problem in the first place.
tfwn /tv/irgin anon friends to help watch this movie together in an empty movie theater
>>71279744
I don't think Refn was attempting to "change" or "discourage" anything, though. Doesn't make it a "liberal" movie, Refn is not one of those studio propaganda hacks pushing SJW narratives. He's a true independent filmmaker. But please enlighten us with your opinions of the movie you haven't seen.
>>71279865
>funded by Amazon
I think I read they gave him artistic freedom on The Neon Demon, but you can't really say he's "independent."
>>71279895
HAHA you have no idea what you're talking about. The movie was already in the can by the time Amazon picked up U.S. distribution rights.
When I said "independent", I didn't mean he self-finances all his films. Nobody does that. I simply meant he works out of his own production company with total creative freedom.
Y'know, Elle is cute.
>>71279865
>Refn pushing propoganda
Never said anything of the sort, I'm just calling him a fool for creating a film which, whether he is intentionally doing it or not, encourages impressionable idiots to pursue or recreate scenes from the movie. Its this way with every one of these films. Its not like "A Clockwork Orange" or "Dexter" where in both cases it is only people already devoid of empathy whose mindset will be exposed on screen. The sexual nature behind this film, like any of these films, perverts people further. There have been multiple studies suggesting that early exposure to pornography can lead to an increased likelihood for severe saddomasochism as an adult. Thats only a single example, let alone the cultural impact this genre of film has on its viewers and those who are told is general basis offhand.
I'm not calling him liberal, im not calling him an SJW, and am certainly not pushing the idea that Refn is intentionally using this film as a means to promote the acts within it. I am calling Refn a fool.
>>71280006
well then
>>71280153
Do you think she wears the necklace thing because she's embarrassed about how long her neck is? That's cute as fuck.
>>71280140
I should note on the "Dexter" and "Clockwork Orange examples" that sociopathy and psychopathy are purely genetic in nature, and the only way to activate their development is through extreme trauma, whether it is physical or psychological. In this way, these films do not encourage likelmindendess but only exposes it. As I remeber a few people attempted to recreate scenee from Dexter as well, however it is impossible for the show to have influenced that kind of behavior due to psychopathy/sadism's anti-social tendencies.
>>71280265
DELETE THIS ;__;
Saw this in Hollywood tonight with a nearly packed house. I don't see why this has been causing such a divisive response, as I found it supremely engaging and entertaining from start to finish. The narrative was simple, yes, but such a thing is not inherently bad. I was impressed at how they added a lot of little touches to an otherwise cut and dry sort of fairy tale, mainly the quasi-supernatural elements (that Jena Malone scene was fucking gorgeous).
I have to say though that the biggest takeaway for me upon first viewing is the score. Everyone seems to be focusing on the visuals which were of course amazing but the musical accompaniment is genuinely one of the greatest soundtracks I've ever heard in film. With such an abstract, evocative project like this, a successful audio design really is key, and Cliff took me to another universe. I loved the mixture of dark tones with soothing ambiance, reminded me a lot of Trent Reznor's work with Fincher. Easily his best collaboration with NWR.
Anyway, I unironically loved the film and can't wait to see it again. Bravo Refn
>>71280140
So we just shouldn't explore anything interesting ever because someone somewhere MIGHT be influenced. Got it

>might
Its never might. Its going to, but you may never hear about it. Maybe it used to be rare back when these kinds of films were far less popularized, but with the internet its damn near impossible.
As for your reasoning, may I remind you that Frankenstein created his monster out of self obsession? What do you think that entire work was built around? There are such things as doors which are better left unopened. The influence these films on Americans especillay is troubling, so much of our culture is derived from films to the point where this behavior amongst filmmakers who forego any moral boundaries in the pursuit of self interest, will also recreate this behavior in man young minds. The ease in which we are brainwashed is incredibly worrying, and these films are symptoms of a dying society. Just look at the art before the collapse of any great nation/empire.
So, as I said before, /tv/ is for bluepills now. It has lost all integrity and almost all of the oldfags have left. All that's here is reddit tier bullshit.
>>71280609
I mean just look at the idolizatation of celebrities over the film maker himself!
Who were worshipped in the final days of Rome? Sure as hell wasn't socrates, nope, all athletes, all just plain aesthetics aimed towards distracting the harsh reality behind the ailing society. Its not that athletes werent worshipped beforehand, but the complete lack in caring for the intellectuals and instead pursuit of venial pleasure is what destroyed them. They all just became an empire of idiots.
Man, I'm proud of you guys
