What's some essential /man/core? I'm not necessarily talking about films that are manly or films that women won't understand, but instead films that demonstrate what it is to be a man.

Unironically the first Rocky

Cool Hand Luke.

the assassination of jesse james by the coward robert ford

women do not understand this movie and it's perhaps the best movie ever made

This looks awesome because I love mcdonalds. I got a bacon big mac last night.

>Overcoming adversity
>Constantly striving towards self improvement
>Teaching that you must be able to rely on yourself more than anyone or anything

Aside from the great action and soundtrack Conan practically oozes masculinity.

How does Master and Commander demonstrate what it is to be a man?

The virgin spring

t. woman or boy

one of the best ever made

yeah why this particular sailor movie is praised but others are just ignored suprise me

ben-hur 1959

>being a man means being good at killing people

what is this shit. this is just garbage propaganda to send you off to die in some corporate war.

Funfact: The Acheron was based on the USS Constitution but they made it French because they didn't think American investors would fund a movie where Americans were the antagonists.

I would unironically call Barry Lyndon a film about being a man, particularly Fatherhood and what causes a man to fail as a father.

Barry, having grown up without a father from a young age, latches onto several older men of authority in his travels: Captain Grogan; expressing tenderness, Captain Ptzdorf; strict morality and finally the Chevalier; independence. Each of these three men impart upon Barry different, if artifical, teachings in his path to maturity. This artificial maturation comes to a head through his intrusion into the nobility and marriage to Lady Lyndon, cuckolding Sire Lyndon in the process - demonstrating Barry's completion of his maturation into man, albeit a twisted one. Sir Lyndon, while having done no harm to Barry himself, is replaced in an almost Oedipal fashion; with Barry finally having become head of his own family and at last head of his own life, although not through is own merits, but rather by the usurpation of another.

Lord Lyndon Jr, however, stands in defiance of Barry's transformation; his non relation to his step father serving as a reminder of the artificial nature of Barry's fatherhood and, by extension, his own manhood.By noting the contrast in Barry's treatment of his stepson and his biological son we can observe the conflict within Barry's psyche.If Lord Lyndon Jr represents Barry's artificial manhood and maturation then Barry's biological son serves as a stand in for Barry's fatherless childhood: being spoiled by Barry to make up for his own years of neglect.

Eventually the dialectic between these two subsets of Barry's psyche comes crashing together when his treatment of his sons causes the death of his biological son (his past) and his own usurpation as Lord Lyndon and as the 'man' of the household (his present).

Barry's lack of true maturity and inability to transform into a father figure himself ultimately stems from his own fatherlessness. The sins of the father reverberate through Barry's life and through his sons.

Well from being a well made movie and the best age of sail movie ever made it does a great job at showing how men interact with one another. It's an unintentional showcase of the male mind.

The funny thing is, it really did make it a better movie. Making the enemy French made the fighting more important. The war of 1812 was a dispute. England wasn't in serious danger from the US. But Napolean threatened to actual conquer England. It allowed this speech:

Although, it's true that it's kind of weird for French privateers to have a state of the art heavy (super heavy by European standards at that time) frigate. The Hughes heavy frigates were pretty revolutionary, and also bigger and more powerful than any privateers probably would have been using.

A crew full of women could just as easily to their job. Don't kid yourself buddy.

In terms of being a standalone film I agree with you that making the Americans French instead was a better choice. However in the books it's important that Jack is fighting in the American theatre rather than Europe due to his career stalling slightly.

The posts of quality never get any recognition. I guess it's because they're so well thought out an written that they leave no room for argument to the contrary.

I also love Barry Lyndon, thanks for giving me some food for thought.

Nah only men have Seamanship

In the Heart of the Sea wasnt that great of a movie, but gave me great manly feels

...

>its too slow
>this is really boring
>who's the bad guy
>what's even going on

It also made it fit the books better, because most of them are about dealings with France or kingdoms looking to buddy up with France, with relatively few books dealing with America, one of which results in the characters getting taken prisoners after being caught as passengers on another man's ship and the rest being filled with shame that the Americans are taking English ships and the characters regretting having to fight the Americans at all because they're like brothers. Adapting those bits would make for a very different movie, so it's much better to make the antagonists French.

This was really good.

I bought this movie in the Blu-ray bin at Wal-mart and never got aroundto watching it
Should I?

Definitely. It's a great film and stands up to repeated viewings.

I would like to hear your opinion on the psyche of Lord Bullingdon?

I bet its a mixture of being overly mothered as a child due to his father being recluse to his son, never wanting to give Barry a chance of being a real father, and jealousy of Bryan being raised in a proper father/mother family setting

This doesn't explain why Barry let himself get shot in the final dual between himself and Bullingdon.

Yes motherfucker. Why the hell are you even asking people on a kambodian woodcrafting forum whether you should watch movies you've already bought?

>tfw missed out on watching it at the cinema

All disgusting examples of toxic masculinity

You people are what is wrong with the world

He didn't 'let' himself get shot. He missed on purpose in the mistaken assumption that Lord Bullingdon would appreciate this act of mercy and end the duel without bloodshed. However Barry severely underestimated the sheer hatred that his stepson bore towards him that he was willing to act so dishonourably to gain revenge on Barry.

Weirdly I think this clip is about what it is to be a man, even though it is a penguin.
Big gender difference is that a woman would try to stop the penguin. A man would let the penguin go

Toxic says who? These are all more or less classic and there are more real men like the ones portrayed in these movies then there are nu-males with modern feminine sensibilities

Fantastic post. Almost made me forget I was on Sup Forums
Please god help me leave this place.

Well the way I see it from the very beginning Bullingdon viewed Barry, rightly so, as an intruder into the nobility and as a man seeking nothing more than wealth and prestige. Lord Bullingdon thus resolves that to be a man and to live up to his father's legacy and memory that he must be everything Barry is not. And so where Barry is crude, Lord Bullingdon is refined. Where Barry is direct, Bullingdon is tactful. Where Barry is uneducated - Bullingdon learned. However in committing to this divide between himself and Barry, Bullingdon deprives himself of the few good traits that Barry exhibits. While crude and cruel, Barry is capable of genuine love: as demonstrated by his doting behavior towards his son and great acts of courage: shown in his string of dueling victories and rescue of Captain Potzdorf.

This trend of contrarianism comes to a head during Bullingdon's climactic duel with his stepfather. When Barry mercifully spares his stepson Bullingdon responds by rejecting this mercy and showing none in return. In doing so Bullingdon renounces the values, if not the rank, of the nobility by which he so differentiated himself from his despised stepfather. He hated Barry so much that he was willing to lower himself if it meant Barry would sink lower. Ironically it's in acting dishonorably that Bullingdon dooms himself. In merely wounding Barry, Bullingdon fails to rid himself of the man; instead paying the man he loathes a stipend and therefore ensuring that Barry would never truly leave Bullingdon and the Lyndon fortune.

Devoting so much of his life to hating Barry; Lord Bullingdon confines himself to being little more than Barry's shadow. His opposite in every way and their fates forever intertwined with one another's. In protecting his title he gave up his nobility. And so Barry influenced Bullingdon more than his biological father ever did. Barry, though unintentionally; was more of a father to Bullingdon than anyone.

Another good post. Don't ever leave me user.

memes

Every woman I've ever talked to about Field of Dreams said it was boring. At first glance the movie is definitely about the father-son relationship and how it defines the son long after the fact, but Costner's daughter in the movie goes against that. He relates to her about baseball and great stories of the sport and she really takes to it, loving baseball just as much as he does. I wouldn't say it's a movie that women can't understand, but it's certainly one that most choose not to.

This is it. Its something I'll show my future son and hope he isn't too poisoned with estrogen to understand

Imagine a movie so masculine, that there are no women in it.

>to intelligent to be a man

You shut your fucking whore mouth. TTSS was a fucking great movie.

This film taught me about brotherhood. The cast is almost exclusively male and delves into the lives of four boys from Busan, South Korea during the 1970s and 80s. The director really goes all the way back to their childhood and you can relate so much to the boys. Like the first time they discover and watch a porno together. When they go to high school and bantz with their friends about girls and the disco. Or as adults when they have all gone their separate ways and have grown apart. Two of the friends grow up to rising gangsters in their respective gangs and feud with each other bitterly.

What does it mean to be a friend? Loyalty. Honor. Respect. Love.
This is my favorite film of all time and I can't even show it to my wife or my daughter because they would never understand.

the protag annoyed me for some reason.

they should have used someone else

Here you go, user.

A great movie, but also very far up the Boomer generation's ass. This was really one of theit stories though, so I guess that's fair.

I think that shit with McGuire and Sosa took out a lot of the prestige the game had left though.

:oooooo

ITT Sup Forums posts war/fighting/cowboy movies because lol women don't get them. More like those topics are just boring for women, like how romances are boring for men.

A lot of guys do like romances though, it's just that most of them tend to be really shit. There are some great romance films out there.

why would a guy like romance films? thats gay

You actually thought this was funny. Take some time off
