Daniel Plainview tests the faith of Eli and Eli chooses his real God:
<The English Established Church, e.g., will more readily pardon an attack on 38 of its 39 articles than on 1/39 of its income. Now-a-days atheism is culpa levis [a relatively slight sin, c.f. mortal sin], as compared with criticism of existing property relations.

i don't know if eddington is "left-wing" but ari aster knows how to depict "liberal contempt"

It's like Lenin said, you look for the person who benefits and, uh, you know.

Watched the movie - it is hardly a neo-nazi gorefest, as it is hyped up to be. It is a milquetoast defense of "democracy" and "the rule of law" (as uttered by Armie's character), against "Islamic extremists" and a "blindsided woke left". In terms of the film-making itself, it is absolutely atrocious; the acting, editing, directing, plot, soundtrack, etc. are less than amateur. Everything is cheap. Worst of all, though, is that it is absurdly boring. Don't bother with it.

> I agree with the message with this movie that the governments of yurop ain't doing shit to stop migrant violence. Idgaf about leftoid sensibilities about muh migrants bla bla.
Eh depends on where you live, here in the US immigrants commit less crime per capita than normal citizens but in places like sweden it's the opposite.

two good kinds of sci fi:

1. so hard it's basically just a drama
   
2. so soft it's basically just a fantasy
   
   

anything in between those 2 extremes tends to be dull

VGH… what could have been…

ok so clearly we still have the ability to make great looking shows and movies either in stark black and white or vivid color, and they are just choosing not to do that

>>47846
this is just a regular film with a greyscale filter slapped on it instead of a film actually working around the limitations of not having color

Currently watching Person of Interest tv-series. First two seasons are kinda meh but it gets better in season 3 when a competing AI comes online.

>>47847
It's a series (this is the TV thread lol), and they shot it in black and white then did a color conversion. They used old school hard lighting and actual lenses vintage lenses.

AI people are intent on devaluing art/artistry while simultaneously coveting the (imagined) clout/cultural respect that they believe comes from being an artist. It is pretty odd.

wool/fibers from animals have a lot of strange and useful properties and its odd synthetics have never tried to replicate them

Because the conclusion of the story has his abuse victims cry over him and nothing gets actually resolved. That's why him being a dirtbag doesn't work.
> cautionary tale trash
No, but a story is supposed to have a point. Even IHNMS on which this is based has a small human victory to it; Ted won, even if he suffers eternally, AM can no longer torment him like before. Despite the much darker ending, it has way more to say about the valor of sacrifice, camaraderie in hardship and the unbreakable human spirit. TADC basically has them accept their fate, but at the same time, they have a happy ending where everything is okay in the end.

Like I get that "In reel laif" people will ignore or miss suicide flags and not pry enough and yadda yadda, but this isn't real life, it's fiction, suspension of disbelief and wishing for better is part of that.

As an aside; It still seems incredibly strange to me that Ribbit was wandering around the circus alone after Jax kicked her out. They were shown to be friends, but why did Kaufmo shut her out and make no attempt to talk, help, or even just socialize so she wouldn't be alone? Even Ragatha seemed to be ignorant.

It takes one fucking conversation

It HAD a point, maybe you mean it's supposed to have some sort of catharsis? like i said i didn't mind that the ending was, for lack of a better term, thanatological. i agree it wasn't the exciting showdown against caine that fans expected it to be, and more like a bunch of weirdos dealing with grief, but like i said, i think they tried something different, something *I* had an itch for. even if the results are not perfect it resonated with the people it was intended to resonate with.

>, it has way more to say about the valor of sacrifice, camaraderie in hardship and the unbreakable human spirit.
mneh this idea fucking blows. i do not care for capeshit stuff. like there's any shortage of wow evil computer out there. it's also a misreading of what caine as a character would become. if taken literally, then the circus is some sort of afterlife built by a dying person. then, also, caine's redemption absolutely makes sense, the guy literally just wants people to enjoy his silly little adventures, and the adventures really do exist to occupy time indefinitely, ragatha was spot on. also, i just have no appetite for another black mirror-esque rokos basilisk bullshit. shit sucks!

> Not only is it a poor resolution to the human character's stories
i lament the resolution in terms of a wasted opportunity for characters to really explore their humanity, even when they themselves are not human, perfect excuse to really drill down the existentialist themes. like if i were told i'm the simulation of a real person out there, and the real person out there was living my best life, i would not take that news kindly i dont think. i think that's more a plot point for more adults viewers, like i think severance does this? i have not watched severance.

>>47855
>It HAD a point
Its point is flaccid and contradictive to the rest of the show and so may as well not exist. The themes and narrative are undermined and the story just stops making sense.
>wasn't the exciting showdown against caine that fans expected it to be
Very few fans expected it to be a showdown against Caine, what?
>a bunch of weirdos dealing with grief
And its extremely shittily portrayed and poorly thought out. The abuser who drove two people to ego-death and continues to behave in this manner to everyone, is mourned by the cast as if he was just a slightly edgy prankster. And while I very much enjoy themes of redemption and/or forgiveness of sinners/villains, this isn't it.
In the meantime Caine, who is more like an autistic child with god-like powers gets treated like trash.
>this idea fucking blows
No it doesn't, you isolated wacko.

That's not what "capeshit" is you illiterate.

it is. it is trite, manichean marvel toddler pabulum lol. like i'm sorry i'm unable to take you seriously and address your points properly if you think "they le defeat le ebil computer" is anything past reddit manchild garbage, and you should feel ashamed that a writer who mostly writes "funny" youtube sketches for animation shorts is running circles around you while making a show for literal children.

>>47884
>it is
Capeshit refers to derivative, forumalic superhero movies and media. It is a specific term, not a catch all phrase for "I think its slop" which makes sense for a twitter-brained illiterate that can't even capitalize your 'I's
>"they le defeat le ebil computer" is anything past reddit manchild garbage
<Harlan Ellison, Stanley Kubrick, DF jones (i.e. literary/cinematographic giants) are all reddit manchildren!
Obviously only (You) are brilliant enough to see the light! Tell me how I know you're a self-hating reddit-lib without telling me.
>a writer who mostly writes "funny" youtube sketches for animation shorts is running circles around you
You are transparently coping, because you have no argument, so you're stooping to indirect ad hominum.

I've presented a very specific set of criticisms because frankly speaking the final episode does not hold up compared to the rest of the show and retroactively degrades it with inconsistencies and poor focus. Saying "you didn't make something like this so you can't criticize!" is a flimsy excuse at best.

Soviet Football teams were built different.
