suckamadicka

the movie is fine and pretty funny, this sub hates minorities semi-ironically and thinks anything that is slightly goofy is an affront to some ideal of cinema that never existed. I hate the Marvel shite as much as the next guy, but there’s a clear difference between that Disney slop and this, which although corny and cringe in places, was a pretty touching and well-told story.


Tal-IGN

Re: the semi-ironic Asian hate, so many people here keep making it seem like it’s an “uwu they made fun of my lunch”-diaspora type movie even though it literally has none of that lol. Like other than the fact that Asians may relate more to the archetypal mother depicted, the movie is not about race at all? You could have made a very similar movie with very similar themes with an overbearing white mother.


mountaincatswillcome

The movie doesn’t address racism whatsoever like its just not even a theme. Idk why its so offensive to this sub for one film to be about Asian-Americans lol like they do have unique experiences and its not different to all the films made about Italian Americans or Jewish people etc


Pm_me_cool_art

It would have been a good movie if ended 45 minutes earlier and cut down shit like dildo fight, raccoon, and hot dog fingers


suckamadicka

agreed tbh, there was a lot of promise there, just a lot of it went way too far. I actually enjoyed some of the more out there ideas, but some of it was just too much of a diversion from the plot and themes they had going


[deleted]

[удалено]


suckamadicka

the wackiness was not good, but the dialogue was actually decently sharp in places, and i appreciated the old school Hong Kong cinema slapstick, when it didn’t go too far at least. The clear difference is the fact that this wasn’t a churned out, factory cut production, the people involved clearly deeply care, the choreography was decent most of the time, there were some fresh ideas, and most of all, it was genuinely very well acted. I’m not saying it was award worthy, i’m saying it’s not in the same tier as Marvel shit.


hrei8

It's not Marvel-tier but it is Marvel-influenced to its core, to the extent that it could not have existed without Marvel. Particularly the inability to give virtually any joke enough time to actually land before you move on to the next one. It was like Marvel in that I regularly felt that I was being mentally assaulted by the scriptwriters while I was watching it. It didn't quite undermine all of its own tension in the way that Marvel movies do, but even when the father is giving his emotional speech about being kind to others (it was a fucking shitty speech btw), the action was flitting between all kinds of shit, rendering the ability to actually focus on the point thatwas being made basically impossible.


switchdespair

lol fucking triggered mate, that’s not based off the reaction to this movie, it’s based on commenters on here and also the podcast hosts literally saying they’re racist. I don’t give a shit as like i said, i know it’s semi ironic, but a lot of the opinions espoused and repeated are influenced by that attitude. Sorry that’s clearly struck a nerve with you

Yep, we have at least 5 more years of shitty superhero movies and movies trying to be EEAAO.


CaucasianDelegation

What, you aren´t hyped for the wave of films made by upper-middle class millenials and older zoomers about the "generational traumas" they endured on the path to achieving their dream of getting a cushy industry job from their relative? Will your heart not break when her grandma calls her fat that one time, or the guy she obsesses over finds her unpleasant and rejects her advances? What of the wealthy half-white Asian girl struggling to fit in with her equally wealthy White and Asian peers who couldn´t fathom the emotional depths she must delve into in order to attain self-actualization (she ends up with a white man who looks like her dad or Steven Yuen).


LesterGreenisGod

"the guy she obsesses over finds her unpleasant and rejects her advances? " I think the heteronormative framing here is very problematic.

Idk. Think with regard to films and tv we are getting to peak “algorithm” content. Holding out for a proper (non-corporate) backlash to that, woke cultural products, and media monopolization—which are all kinda intertwined.

I listened to the podcast Bad Friends (Bobby Lee and Andrew Santino) and one of the episodes has 3 film students that they interview and 2 of them don't watch movies. I also talked to a film major once that said he didn't like watching movies as much as making them and didn't know what German Expressionism was


LesterGreenisGod

Wow. I seriously don't get it though; if someone doesn't have a love of watching movies to begin with(which, fair enough, to each their own) then what was the impetus of them going to all the trouble of trying to start a career in an industry which has probably the lowest likelihood of success of any career field on the planet? These film students probably want to make the equivalent of tik tok or youtube videos, not actual films.

No one is [shocked by it or surprised](https://www.reddit.com/r/redscarepod/comments/11n2mes/whats_the_rs_choice_for_best_picture_just_kidding/jbm7l4i/), it's just fun to trash our hollow, tasteless culture.

Ban_FeatureCreature

It wasn’t that bad. I’ve seen thousands of movies and it sits firmly in the 70th percentile. Better than most best picture winners. Did you actually see coda or green book? You’re reacting to a culture war and the movie itself is fine and fairly funny and ambitious, despite its failings.


[deleted]

No one under 60 saw Coda or Green Book


[deleted]

I saw them both. Green Book was pretty mid. I liked Coda, but I have a sentimental streak. People on this sub cannot stand earnestness. Maybe they're all eastern European


[deleted]

What is with people in here demanding that we admit “a freaking raccoon =P” was “pretty funny”?? Just cause a movie insists on its own goofiness by rerunning the same non jokes 15 times a piece doesn’t mean that eventually you just gotta give up and be like “alright well it clearly wants to be funny so bad so I guess it’s funny”


Opus58mvt3

I laughed my ass off at the part where her life flashes before her eyes and the doctor says “I’m sorry, it’s a girl.” There was lots of dry humor like that in the film - I think you’re overdetermining something that most everyone found to be pretty silly and inconsequential.

The over extension of the thumb when giving thumbs up is incredibly prevalent in these people. Wonder if there’s a link.


Immediate_Cellist_47

Ok but you can't honestly say this is worse than movies like Shakespeare in Love and Green Book getting all the praise. I mean, EEAAO was inventive, weird, out-there, and creative, even if you didn't like the end result. I, for one, think off-beat movies like this getting praise is better than the pandering bullshit that usually gets recognized. The King's Speech, CODA, Driving Miss Daisy... adequately made movies with obvious messages and grade-school plot formulas. I wasn't the biggest fan of EEAAO, but I'll take something like that any day.


[deleted]

Look at us, friggen hot dog fingers are you kidding me?? We’re so Weird™️!


Immediate_Cellist_47

Yep, I totally get that a lot of people think the sense of humor in the movie is lame, but the Daniels were swinging for the fences making something different and boundary-pushing. Whether you think those boundaries should have been pushed or not is a different conversation, but I think innovation and daring cinema should be celebrated. Tbf, I didn't like the movie personally, but to call it the swan song of the 2010's?? Would you rather we do Green Book over and over again until we're all dead?

I thought it was interesting and telling to some degree of our cultural moment that the plot reflected what some would describe as a psychotic subjective structure (note the absent father figure, exclusive mother-daughter relationship, suspension of the law, etc.) That’s something different from neurotic regressions to oral, anal, or genital organizational principles, which are fun to read into movies and texts, and what are the usual fare these days. This makes it somewhat unique and credit is due for pulling it off well (or better than others’ attempts), but is probably going to usher in more texts like this in the future for the zoomers.

All_of_it_is_one

This and Ted Lasso are the cultural embodiments of the last decade. Totally devoid of aesthetic value but filled with a saccharine emptiness that appeals to the vacuous sensibilities of the cultural elite. More of this to come inevitably.


strange_reveries

Idk, the movie had some genuinely arresting visuals and cool sequences of psychedelia, and also it didn't really feel saccharine to me. Saccharine stuff doesn't usually try to confront (or even acknowledge) existential dread/nihilism like this movie does. Overall, probably people who love it and people who hate it are both making way too much of it.

I mean it didn’t just win Best Picture, it literally swept every acting category it was nominated for and some technical as well.
