You got to be stronger

are u stupid ? nolan 100% provides a unique way to filmmaking and no one is on his level of doing those type of films.

if you want to ignore his original scripts, his execution and the precision to detail that makes his films so spectacular and unique.

its like saying lord of the rings trilogy isn't an original concept so any other filmmaker can make it yet none of the sequels or prequels released are even close.

Damn thread had peace

you sound like me with tattoos. i swear i think im past the prime age to get a tat. like...the older you get...idk it just feels kinda...sad or cringy.

idk if this is true

Ima be real wit you, this is all jokes aside. I think if you’re a person who cares about tv/films or just black culture in general, it’s valuable/important to see the journey of black films and how far we’ve came.

That doesn’t mean you gotta watch EVERY black movie ever made, but more so the essentials.

And this extends past movies, goes for music, art, history, politics in general. I’m just all for us educating ourselves about our history, and black cinema is apart of our history.

With all that being said, you aren’t obligated to liking any film just cus it’s ‘black made’ or considered a black classic.

Y’all could list literally 100 of your favorite older movies and I would have probably seen like 10-25 of them

yo this is crazy to hear from someone i feel attacked

That being said, Belly is ass

cultural impact: Nolan’s entire filmography can’t sniff the cultural impact of Pulp Fiction by itself, let alone his entire filmography. Now Batman Begins and TDK each have immense impact on the tone that action blockbusters took until The Avengers reshaped everything

legacy: it’s Tarantino lol

filmmaking: Tarantino is an avid student of some of the greatest masters of filmmaking techniques in history, combined and remixed their styles and techniques into arguably the most instantly recognizable and stylish voice in modern filmmaking history. Nolan is a master himself, but there’s much less ground being covered and not nearly as expressive

writing: Tarantino is known as one of the greatest dialogue writers ever for a reason, is a master of balancing several genres and tones, and has written some of the most memorable films ever made with undeniably entertaining casts of characters

themes: maybe Nolan cause he goes for the deeper themes as they pertain to the human condition

rewatchability: as enjoyable and rewatchable as some of Nolan’s best films are, Tarantino takes the audience on unforgettable rollercoasters that stick with them for ages and stamp the cultural memory

LETS TALK ABOUT IT. s*** is weak

opening scene is a Blassic. beyond that? stop

See I can’t even tell if he serious or not when he says s*** like that, even then who trolls like that? It’s weird

See how far we’ve come lol I’m worried about our reality. Like I get you but where black films are central to you I don’t care like that . I care if something is good storytelling overall or if I connect with it . I’m less history of film than you . Tv shows I’ve seen plenty

rollercoasters do not excite with age.

think culturally in the 90s tarantino had it on lock. now?? no one gives a shiiiiiiiiit about pulp fiction besides the writers of family guy. the boosting of that movie is one of americas biggest crimes.

i loved LOVED once upon a time in hollywood. NO one gives a s*** about that movie in the year 2023.

There’s no menace to society thread so lol I would just watch it and keep my thoughts to myself like everyone else on here

Lmaooooo. I love belly, bias, but I get it.

Belly was one people were shocked I hadn’t seen then I saw it and was like “ yeah I’m never falling for this again “

dying cause I've definitely said this plenty times

I got tricked with belly , American psycho and more

So you just disregarded 80% of what I said. I’m talking black culture as a whole….nvm do you bruh

I refuse to be tricked again

I think I’ve called you that too lol

...'whispers'

magnolia

“ I’m talking about black culture as a whole “

Yes I get it’s pivotal to black culture at the end of the day it’s so central like belly where why would I watch it and risk being disappointed

Godfather overhyped to me tooand that’s white people
