That's me now

Top 10 movies of all time

Is that "There Will Be Blood"? I've never seen it, should I?

He who drills oil should make sure that in the process he does not become oil himself

I'VE ABANDONED MY MILKSHAKE

memeaphorically you mean

I'VE DRANK MY BOY

It's the best movie of the 21st century.

>too intelligent for memeaphores

...

>drinks your milkshake

I'll never understand why critics rave about this boring-ass film

$5 on blu-ray at target. should've beaten No Country for Old Men for best picture. Javier Bardem was great but the rest of the movie pales in comparison

Were you born in the 90's? Your age group seems to lack depth of any sort.

No, 70s

Honestly it comes off more as a film that's trying too hard

>Javier Bardem was great but the rest of the movie pales in comparison
Back to IMDB friend. No Country For Old Men is a masterpiece. There Will Be Blood is a video game enabling hot pocket receptical.

THERE'S A WHOLE OCEAN OF MILKSHAKE BENEATH OUR FEET

Yes the movie about comic book assassins and "fuckin' epic" shootouts is the deep one. The one that use Arvo Part and biblical metaphor is the videogame.

No Country is a 9/10 movie but TWBB is 10/10. It's comparing a piece of art to a very very good movie. Both have great actors at the top of their game, but TWBB is more visually appealing and has a better narrative.

I could understand people not enjoying the movie but you seem extremely underdeveloped.

You need better insults

/our guy/

No. Don't let Sup Forums meme you into thinking it's good. It's terrible and a complete waste of time.

I wouldn't say it was my favorite movie, but it certainly wasn't terrible.

Fucking pleb

This.

Yet, the same board that praised Drive to no end.

GET OOOOUT OF HERE GHOST

I'm not trying to insult you. Maybe you can explain how the movie tries too hard?

>metaphorically
Kill yourself my dear.

I do that a lot myself.

the opinions of normal fags, reddit and trannies don't count.

i doubt half this board was even around for that

What the fuck is your problem dude?

But reddit adores this movie. It's exactly the kind of pretentious, bland movie that they think is "high art".

Weak fucking bait.

how is it bland?

Do you think the same people who hate this hate the Witch?

take javier bardem out. now where is this movie? basically a 3/10

Malick and PTA are truly reddit trash.

Zack Snyder and superhero movies are superior to those two hacks.

You fell for PTA's artifice of legitimacy. TWBB is a video game in disguise as a kino. No Country is a kino in disguise as a video game.

You are cinematically illiterate if you fall for PTA's memes.
>dude I use the work of a respected composer and throw in some of the least subtle religious imagery ever seen outside of a Zack Snyder movie so I'm making worthwhile art lmao.

Take DDL out of TWBB, what are you left with? But it doesn't matter since they're in the movie now, does it?

Give some actual reasons why NCfoM is better than TWBB. Strawman arguments aren't real arguments.

Also religion being crucial to the story does not mean that PTA is trying to shove obvious metaphor like Snyder did.

DLL wasn't the movie though. he gave a great performance but the movie was still amazing. probably a 7/10 without him

weak

Sup Forums>

DDL is what elevated it to masterpiece status.

Sure, you'd see a business rising without knowing who's behind it. Would be pretty interresting.

In No Country for Old Men, people would die around you, they'd talk about the guy who's after you without showing him. You'd miss out on a great performance but you'd still be on the edge of your seat.

Bardem is nowhere near one of the most impressive parts of that movie but it's no surprise why a Sup Forumsedditor would only be able to appreciate the epin killer character. No Country for Old Men is the kind of seemingly effortless mastery of cinema that a self conscious fanboy autist like PTA could never hope to replicate. Of course the more unsophisticated viewers are attracted to the showier work. The one with the flashy cinematography, meme acting and the tone of THIS IS CINEMA PAY ATTENTION. The replica masterpiece.

can someone please explain to me, like I'm a small child, what this movie is about?

>Take the antagonist out of a movie and it's not as good

Wow, really gets the old neurons firing

>probably a 7/10 without him
The very fact that you think you can quantify art in these terms reveals your Sup Forumseddit sensibility.

Sociopath who makes a religion out of business lies to people who make a business out of religion to get what he wants.

>ELI5
get out

>Sup Forumseddit

not an argument

Examination of greed, capitalism and religion with about as much depth as an upper tier capeshit movie. Really that's just an excuse for PTA to play auteur and wave his dick in your face for two and a half hours though.

This. What a fucking vanilla idiot.

taking out the actor not the character you plebs

hurr durr. trailer trash takes some cash he finds and runs away from an assassin. faulkner level writing

Early capitalism and oil prospecting in the American South West.

It shows what it takes to make it in a harsh world, and what it does to a man who has crawled though hell to achieve his goals does to his soul.

>2 hours of the most intense manhunt ever punt on film

I'll take that over

DUDE OIL LMAO

Faulkner is awful user.

TWWB is realist art on par with Tolstoy.

>most intense manhunt ever put on film

desu the T1000 going after the connors was a lot more intense and that was a movie about fucking robots from the future

Good premise for an action flick.

>hurr durr autist finds success, clashes with a preacher and becomes increasingly autistic as his wealth grows.
You can simplify any film like that.

Adolescence is idolizing PTA. Adulthood is realizing that the Coens are the great american auteurs.

You have actuals reasons to back that claim up?

underrated

Fuck off newfag

ad hominem is not an argument.

Care to try again?

PTA is overrated as fuck but twbb is a masterpiece

There Will Be Blood employs video game sensibilities to give his film appeal to his audiences, thus continuing the cycle of masturbation and degeneracy. It has the same fundental pro-audience sensibility as capeshit, despite what its "classic" veneer wants you to believe. No Country For Old Men on the otherhand takes the capeshit video game and weaponizes it against its audience. Audience antagonization is always more ideologically laudible then audience enabling.

PTA made a pulsating hot pocket. The Coens made an expertly crafted dagger, lured the capeshitters in and then plunged it deep into their fleshy mass.

It's adolescent-core. Inherent Vice, Punch Drunk Love and The Master are the only worthwhile things he's made.

There Will Be Blood is the autistic child on the supermarket floor wailing for his mother to buy him the latest lego set.

lmaoing at your buzzwords
ok now youre not even being subtle

probably the dumbest thing ever posted.....ever

I'm not that user but your newness is very offensive. Lurk more faggot

You can shout buzzword all you want, it doesn't change the fact that you are an adult video game player and everybody here knows it. It's impossible for your kind to hide it. The scent of cheeto dust will follow you wherever you go so long as you continue to wallow in your degeneracy.

Can you even read? Are you literate?

PTA's ideological deficiencies are all there clear as day. The man is a pornographer.

>There Will Be Blood employs video game sensibilities to give his film appeal to his audiences, thus continuing the cycle of masturbation and degeneracy.
empty insults with no base in fact
>It has the same fundental pro-audience sensibility as capeshit, despite what its "classic" veneer wants you to believe.
more empty insults
>No Country For Old Men on the otherhand takes the capeshit video game and weaponizes it against its audience. Audience antagonization is always more ideologically laudable then laudable enabling.
For one you can't spell. You argument here makes no sense. Can you explain what you actually mean? You seem to have this idea that only you have understood NCfOM. This is not the case.
>PTA made a pulsating hot pocket. The Coens made an expertly crafted dagger, lured the capeshitters in and then plunged it deep into their fleshy mass.
Conclusion with no evidence.

In summary you arguments seem to be empty insults, memes and buzzwords. You seem to think that people who dislike NCfOM did not understand it. You do not give any valid reasons for it being a movie of quality.

Care to try again?

What do you mean by this? Holding up Sup Forums to a standard is "newness"?

made it better

more like There Will Be Kino

>Can you explain what you actually mean?
The blunt force "art trauma" only needs to be understood by the degenerates it is wielded against as much as the impact of a bullet requires understanding on the battlefield.

I mean it's a retarded meme and if you'd been here more than 5 minutes you'd know that, faggot. Like I said, lurk more.

we're all oil in the end

What you're doing here is you're making a proof by assertion. In your mind if you repeat the same argument you will be right. This is a logical fallacy. You're also trying to make your argument as confusing as possible thinking I won't be able to follow it.

Care to actually address the points I made?

I have no idea what "meme" you're referring to.

you'd think Sup Forums would be more into daniel

>rage building because of society's ignorance and greed
>rage building because cant control many things in life
>rage building because important things like family, wealth and health are fleeting

too bad most hear it's good and immediately say its shit to look cool on the internet

not an argument

You didn't make any points other than discrediting all high level cinematic language as memes and buzzwords. There is no room for art discussion without insults. Phystical violence. Uncompromizing brutality. This is the realm of hard art neo-sincerity. The mindset that the cinema landscape would be non-confrontational is the cancer of the jew endorsed infantilized capeshit cheeto dust hugbox culture.

More like you enjoy it when you're young and stupid but once you grow up and strip all the autism from your mind you realize that it is in fact just a meme film. No neurotypical should think that PTA is anything worth clinging to.

>You didn't make any points other than discrediting all high level cinematic language as memes and buzzwords.
insults and empty dismissals are not arguments
>There is no room for art discussion without insults
Holy shit. You're actually retarded. I should have known.
>Phystical violence. Uncompromizing brutality. This is the realm of hard art neo-sincerity.
*tips fedora*
>The mindset that the cinema landscape would be non-confrontational is the cancer of the jew endorsed infantilized capeshit cheeto dust hugbox culture.
edge as fuck my man

It's not a meme film. Especially around these times that movie means even more. People are getting angry and that anger doesn't magically go away when you hit 30. If anything, it gets stronger. People just learn to hide it better

fuck off newfag

Did you like Avengers?

If you think art can exist without bloodshed then you are video games. You are masturbatory moltren cheese wallowing. You are Tarantino. You are capeshit. You are non-neurotypical.

The fedora is the emblem of the infantilizated hedonist. Now, don your crown.

hey reddit

I'll give it to you user. You're weird, but you're somewhat funny.

No. Picture a ladder. This is cinema.

Let's say we have Avengers at rung 1, Michael Bay at rung 2. Nolantino at rung 3. Fincheneueve at rung 4. PTA at rung 5. Coens at rung 6 and so on, through scorcese, Malick, Herzog, Cronenberg, Lynch, Haneke Tarr and ending in the complete transcendence of cinema. It is the duty of the man who climbs the ladder to destroy all beneath him. As means of purifcation.
