>Dennis Villeneuve >Damien Chazelle >Xavier Dolan >Steve McQueen >Alejandro G. Iñárritu >Tom Ford >Jeff Nichols >Asghar Farhadi >Ken Loach >Cristian Mungiu Today's most dishonest enemies of cinema and inauthentic frauds, we can all agree, correct? Who else belongs on that list?
How about a list of honest and authentic Sup Forums approved filmmakers? >J.A. Bayona >Robert Zemeckis >Lav Diaz >Clint Eastwood >James Gray >Shane Black >Claire Denis >Steven Spielberg >Werner Herzog >Mel Gibson >Emir Kusturica >Terrence Malick >Zack 'kino' Snyder >Sang-ho Yeon >Paul Verhoeven
Not sure yet, they go both ways depending on film >Richard Linklater / Everybody Wants Some! is honest >Jeremy Saulnier >NW Refn / TND is inauthentic >Derek Cianfrance >Martin Scorsese / silence is honest yet inauthentic >Jim Jarmusch / Paterson is authentic yet dishonest >David O Russell and PTA / incredibly inauthentic yet deeply honest
Dishonest filmmaking/filmmakers (Tarantino, Alejandro González Iñárritu, Wes Anderson, Christopher Nolan, Alex Garland, Paul Thomas Anderson, Nicholas Refn, Tom Hooper, Tyler Perry, Rian Johnson, Alfonso Cuaron, Noah Baumbach, Andrea Arnold, David Yates, Denis Vilenueve, James Franco, Steve McQueen) are intellectually bankrupt moral whores and charlatans; their films often appeal to the modern phenomenon of the 'Pretend Epic' or Pseudo Cinema, often tied to the criticism that "It was a movie that thought it was a film" they have no ideas of their own and are filmed purely to have fancy essays made about them. They obfuscate their lack of insight under a smug impenetrable irony and often contain scenes with disingenuous attempts at depth with characters spouting platitudes that the director takes VERY seriously. This directly panders to the IMDb reddit instagram sensibility of quote circlejerking since these hacks are masters of the fools wit, "Quipping" (Not to be confused with the marvel co-opting of the word) , it sounds smart, cool and worldly but in reality there's nothing of substance, the Revenant's attempt at spiritualism was cheap and laughable and whilst someone like Malick has considered and studied his philosophy, Inaurritu wears his introspection on his sleeve to give his film a false sense of depth with pathetic sermonising.
THIS is Dishonest Filmmaking.
They leech the greater works that preceded them; like The Enemy being a rip off of Eraser head, but they have nothing else to say, and act under the guise of deconstruction alongside very weak 'social commentary' and a quirky forgettable score praised as 'innovative'. They are all inauthentic sycophants that rely on oscar buzz and post 9/11 detachment for relevance.
These directors are hacks and will be forgotten to time.
Some of notably earnest filmmakers include, but are not limited to
Dolan is post-dishonesty. It takes a certain level of intelligence to truly "get" his films.
William Howard
I hope you kill yourself(ves) soon. What terrible meme
Chase Baker
>Spielberg >honest HAHAHAHAHA All he does is make cheap schlocky blockbusters. He's a mediocre director
Brandon Ward
No, you've just gotta be a faggot.
Nathan Scott
Got that txt file at the ready, huh?
Caleb Moore
I just wish he also liked Korine. He would be perfect
Kevin Robinson
This. Spielberg is the opposite of honesty. He's very manipulative and turned a holocaust movie into an adventure movie.
Christopher Hughes
Is this Armond meme thread or what.
Because he likes Dennis Villeneuve
David Powell
Armond gave a good review of nocturnal animals, so idk if ford belongs there
James Lee
And he hated Verhoeven's Elle.
Adrian Roberts
>mfw you're using a picture of Armond White while shitting on Based Villeneuve Armond loves Villeneuve, you fucking idiot. He loves Incendies and Sicario and likes Arrival.
Aiden Morgan
>He's very manipulative and turned a holocaust movie into an adventure movie With dinosaurs!
James Lopez
What a horrible meme you're participating in! Also: >Zemeckis >Spielberg >"authentic and honest" Wew lad
Chase Richardson
He always seems to really like Wes Anderson most of the time.
Also he hates Clint Eastwood so much.
Gabriel Edwards
>shits on Denis Vilenueve for making a "a rip off of Eraser head" >praises James Cameron Either you're memeing or retarded. Enemy is extremely surrealistic but besides that it doesn't have a lot in common with Eraserhead. Avatar is Pocahontas: Blue Alien Edition.
Zachary Davis
>Denis Villeneuve
he's good.
Thomas Walker
>Pocahontas It's okay when malick does it but not cameron!!!
Nicholas Myers
not really
Nicholas Barnes
tarantino is better than everyone you listed
Landon Gonzalez

Grayson Bell

Brandon Miller

He also compared Hannah to Kick-Ass because they both have a young female character, thinks I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry is a modern classic, thinks Live Free or Die Hard is the best Die Hard, compared The Road to Resident Evil, thinks Clash of the Titans is better than the LOTR Trilogy, prefers Transformers 2 to Transformers, and thinks CJ7 is deeper and more profound than There Will Be Blood.

Parker Sullivan
Am I supposed to be outraged or something? It shows he has discerning taste and doesn't just swallow whatever slop the hivemind dictates is good like you
Aaron Roberts
White likes Villeneuve, Dolan (especially heartbeats), Nichols He would probably throw Herzog, Gray and Zemeckis into dishonest.
Joseph Sanders
You realise this line of rationale is stupid. The movies in the liked category are a different type of movie. Half the movies you put into the disliked category I'd agree with >Tangled >The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo >The Road >The King's Speech >Startdust >Let Me In >Up >Every single horrible Marvel movie
Kayden Moore
Daily reminder that Almond loved Hidden Figures
Jace Brown
>he doesnt like movie™ so he must be bad™
Evan Edwards
It's about what he liked.
You should be ashamed for defending him. Your taste is shit.
