Who is the most "dangerous" film director? The one whose ideology is totally counter to reality and seeks only to administer propaganda to otherwise intellectually superior individuals?
I'm going with Michael Haneke, his disdain for modern Western culture being the chief thread that ties his movies together. His naext movie is explictly about the refugee crisis and is being filmed in Calais.

It would be much easier to name those several directors that have some positive influence.
Richard Linklater
This. Most Hollywood directors are scum but I think Nolan is an exception.
>director that only makes arthouse movies no one watches
>dangerous
i think you've got the opposite of what a truly dangerous filmmaker would be like
Holy fucking shit, I was actually thinking about making a thread exactly on this about him!
>Funny Games (1997)
>Austrian critics argued that the intention was to undermine the heimat genre and its values, which are bourgeois and based on the home

>Heimatfilm (German pronunciation: [ˈhaJmatˌfJlm], German for "homeland-film"; German plural: Heimatfilme) is the name given to a film genre that was popular in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria from the late 1940s to the early 1970s. They were usually shot in the Alps, the Black Forest, or the Lüneburg Heath and always involved the outdoors. These films were noted for their rural settings, sentimental tone and simplistic morality, and centered on love, friendship, family and non-urban life. Also, the polarity between old and young, tradition and progress, and rural and urban life was articulated. The typical plot structure involved both a "good" and "bad" guy wanting a girl, conflict ensuing, and the "good" guy ultimately triumphing to win the girl to the happiness of everyone and the children.
>Heimat is a German word that can be translated as home, homeland, home soil or fatherland (each having a different emphasis and connotation).
Haneke is quite popular in Europe and I agree that his movies are anti-Western (die Weisse Fahne, Caché, the Pianist, etc.)

About some perverted shit, that Freud would have a field day over.

Kathryn Bigelow - 'Zero Dark Thirty' was a CIA-backed puff piece that allowed cosmopolitans to feel a tinge of semi-patriotic intrigue. And the female protagonist was a complete composite who never existed, yet the film was one of the first to push the tough fem-bitch angle.
But it's the way the film packaged special ops into a sleek neo-Nolan aesthetic, branding the Deep State with the stamp of Hollywood cool, that was most harmful. Ever 30-year-old wine drinking social climber embraced its "double-tap edge" and Bigelow's reach will confuse to grow,
Bigelow's next projects are an Oscar bait Detroit Riots feature, and an HBO miniseries about Trump.
That said, Point Break is obvs a classic. Inb4 Near Dark fags hiss.
I'm also a fan of Strange Days (besides the proto-#BLM ending, of course)
daily reminder that Shindlers List is in fact historically accurate
Wajda made several good movies, but for all his life he had this ambiguous relationship with the communist regime, he was funded by them, after all, even though he made some openly anti-communist movies, like Man of Marble. Sometimes he added a scene or two that changed meaning of source material, like in The Promised Land he changed the last scene adding some kind of pro-socialist message (still this movie is very good), he made a movie defending our former president Lech Wałęsa after historians discovered that Wałęsa was a communist secret agent, etc. I would have to write a very long post to explain exactly all similar cases.
...
how the fuck is he dangerous?
how isnt he ?
This summary is fine, thank you. Scorsese said one favourite top ten films is Diamonds and Ashes, and I was reading a little on the neorealism movement in cinema, so I was contemplating checking it out.
Fuck off promoting these scum. Nobody on here has heard of him until now.
/thread
It's important to know who is out there and what agendas are being actively pushed.
How is it promoting him? If anything it's a warning.
I watched I Am Daniel Blake recently. It reminded me that Cannes is a festering socialist shitpile.
John Milius
Well, Diamonds and Ashes is the best example of what I meant - it's basically saying that our anti-communist resistance after ww2 was futile - it's based on one novel that has exactly the same message, so technically speaking the main hero is a member of the anti-communist underground, but his actions are depicted as quixotism, like "he didn't accept the new social reality so he had to lose". Still, it's a top tier movie formally.
Don't worry, Haneke will be among the first to go on the Day of the Rope.
The only truthful part is that someone called Schindler existed.

You need to watch one of his films before you can comment on it
