>tfw film studies professor keeps calling you a contrarian faggot
>tfw he makes fun of you for rating "everything" a 6/10
>tfw he makes fun of your top 10 of 2016 list to the rest of the class
Is anyone else taking a film studies class? Are you having a better time than I am?
Elaborate on your top 10
>mfw took a class 5 years ago and rated Crash higher than the Truman Show
>film studies class
Why are you wasting your money like that?
>Americans waste their money going to film classes
>Going to film school
Why not just join or start a film club instead?
Tokyo Drift
Toy Story 3
Pain & Gain
Donny Darko
Fight Club
Drive
The Dark Knight
Step Brothers
Goodfellas
Why go to film studies when you can go to films?
You don't go to film studies. You go to films.
Solid list
Here's my list.
>Nocturnal Animals
>Moonlight
>Midnight Special
>Manchester by the Sea
>Elle
>Hail Caesar
>The Love Witch
>I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House
>Kubo and the Two Strings
>Swiss Army Man
He gave me a 1/10 but didn't say which movie the 1 was for.
>of 2016
memes aside, tokyo drift was kino as fuck
implying ten movies were even close to kino in 2016
only
bvs and shin gojira
Stop joking around. That's not your list
Sounds like your professor is the contrarian faggot.
What is his list?
It's not film school. It's a film studies elective. I thought it would be fun and I'd gain knowledge and meet friends and stuff but so far none of that is true.
Probably for Manchester by the Sea.
>No Roundhay Garden Scene 3 Hour Commentary Blu-Ray edition
Get the fuck out of here, your teacher was right to call you a little shit.
I don't know what his top ten of 2016 is. He rarely talks about what movies he actually likes. He just talks about how most movies are overrated shit and stuff. I'd have a good idea if I knew what lists got good marks, but I can't get close enough to another student to find out. I'm not that good with other people.
Why do any of you study film at all?
Maybe it made sense before the internet was a thing, but now pretty much all directors agree unanimously that it is completely unnecessary in today's world with all the available information out there.
Just try to make a fuckload of short films, direct local bands music videos, grind on that for a while, someone notices you maybe and you direct a commercial or two, grind on that for a while, all that while keep making as much short films as you can and spam every film festival possible, big or small.
And with a great deal of luck with a big studio head noticing you BAM you're in.
>>just talks about how most movies are overrated shit and stuff
>Calls you the contrarian faggot
Also do you get grades for making a shitty top 10 list? if it were for me I would just put the 10 random obscure foreing movies
>The Dark Knight
????
>literally every person with industry experience says don't go to film school
>award winning directors that went to film school say don't go to film school
>people who just graduated from film school say don't go to film school
>people still go to film school
oh, ok
call him an easily-impressed pleb and move on
and stop autistically interrupting him for attention
...I guess I've seen worse?
mainstream/10
>spam every film festival possible, big or small.
I've been trying user, but every rejection is really disheartening
I die a little bit inside each and every time
I'm not interested in making movies. This is just a short elective course at my uni. I'd just like to know some film making techniques and history and stuff like that to learn how to appreciate movies better (if anyone knows some good resources for stuff like that please tell me). But the classes are mostly just the professor ranting about movies he's seen for 50 minutes at a time.
Now imagine a festival finally accepting your film and all the critics unanimously calling it complete utter shit.
It's a part of being an artist, you just have to keep on grinding and grinding.
Not trying is worse than failing.
I know it's cheesy but it's true.

Also if you like a movie search for B-rolls, behind the scenes, roundtables, interviews and Q&A's to further grasp the process of filmmaking
That's just youtube, you have the entirety of Google at your disposal too.
>Every Frame a Painting
My film prof hates this show for some reason. But I'll check out the rest. Thanks, user.
Fuck, are you one of those rare people like me, that thinks Toy Story 3 (aside from the cheese ending) was better than Toy Story 2?
That's just 9.
no
Goodfellas is terrible but aside from that, great stuff
Maybe now you will learn that more discerning does not mean superior. As a student of film I would imagine it is just as important to comend talent as it is to dismiss trash.
Just my thoughts homie
I have done it today, got some great feedback. Why do you expect anybody to like your film if you don't consider it good enough to be seen?
[email protected], it's a throwaway e-mail i'll check today, i'd really like to see it. If you change your mind, send it, and maybe we can talk then.
Your prof. is probably browsing Sup Forums as we speak
>Rocket Jump
I hope this entire thread is ironic
In a vacuum, Toy Story 3 is a decent movie. But 2 is the exact same movie but better
