Best animated movie ever, period.

Retards like OP need to be put in their place.

>its more of a piece of cinema though

more of a flick if you ask me, only people i know who like it are females and casuals. it was just a project done to put asses in seats without needed to think. its a turn off your brain kinda thing. shit acting as well. its a reddit movie.

whats the kino on the left?

EVANGELION BTFO

...

I have never watched Evangelion, but all these bizarre images I always see from it have me curious

paprika
angels egg
spirited away
and a million other films that go even a little beyond the very basics of animation. Baring story, acting, and dubbing EoE is as simple as animation gets. Passible and thats all

...

If you aren't asking yourself questions relative to most of the films you watch, you're doing it wrong. What, do you finish a film and all knowledge of it leaves the confines of your grey matter?

>literally the go to stance of every single try-hard who can never give a matter of fact synopsis of the clusterfuck that is EoE

wasnt doing it for the you, i mean it. What about the animation do you think is honestly special? Maybe you find the visuals impressive but the way they animate is bland as hell. story aside the movie was really meh. and considering you have to watcha 26 episode anime to prep for it, not sure how people consider the time spent worth it.

Pretty Baby

I've never seen EoE. I haven't finished NGE, yet. I meant what I said, and I have no idea what drivel you're pushing about this being the stance EoE shitters have; do you finish a film and all knowledge of it leaves the confines of your brain before you can ask yourself questions about how it relates to yourself?

i'm don't think eoe has the best animation, but i'd say it has the best direction out of any animated movie i've ever seen.
and if you think the story was just meh, there's no way you would be able to appreciate what eoe was trying to do

Synecdoche New York

Bronson

What was EoE trying to do?

what something is trying to do and what something actually did are two different things. Of course i get it, i would be shocked if someone didnt fucking get it. Im just of the opinion that it doesnt even come close to what its aspiring to be. The fact that it tries to use symbols of religion and culuture thousands of years older and more important then itself and act like it is anywhere near there level of depth and importance is insulting to anyone watching.

Direction wise id ask what exactly you thought it was directing itself towards, beyond masturbation.

I dont think about my life. Its on autopilot and one day I will die

Last Night

this

>anecdotal evidence
>ad hominem
>zero arguments
you're trying too hard to fit in

to finish the story of evangelion with a satisfying conclusion of both the plot line and the character arcs
i'd argue that the christian and religious symbolism adds more aesthetic value than symbolic value; but, personally, i'm not a big fan of it myself.
direction wise, i think eoe was trying to do a lot of things: a good example is the live action sequence, and how masterfully it assists the dialogue between shinji and rei

How is being an obnoxious retard putting anyone in their place?

You this guy: ?

nope

So the show that takes its name from the bible, has multiple characters, antagonists, and theme from the christian bible, doesnt need to bother with any of it beyond, it looks cool, and thats fine? I mean of fucking course its just for aesthetic purposes thats my fucking point you chud. A majority of the entire show is just, look isnt this cool? But its not, borrowing from something much bigger then yourself and having nothing to show for it is weak.

And no i dont think all of that is worth it so some guy can make a show about how being a kid is hard, and being a boy is akward and hard.

i think, probably, the logic behind the christian symbolism is that there are multitudes of artistic works with christian imagery and symbolism. i suspect that anno probably wanted to emulate this, although, that's merely speculatory. and i agree, it is kind of dumb, but it's a huge separator between evangelion and other shows.
and i'm sorry, but "wah being a teenage boy is hard" is not the thesis of evangelion

It's well done, but not the best

The show that spents more then half its run time of a teenage boys struggles with girls and being good enough for his father was really about breaking singular reality to obtain transcendence with the universe, i forgot.

the animation is still sub-par and its references are cringy and insulting and in no way worth whatever message you may have divined out of it. But really if im still not getting it send me a link to whoever managed to convince you it was anything more then the cum on shinjis hand.

You better watch this

yeah, it was. if you think about shinji's relations and interactions with other people, it makes sense.
the animation being sub-par really isn't a problem for me (nor do i think it's even sub-par), but i get it if it's a problem for you. and, in a way, i don't think the show in general was designed for you. i don't think it's that you don't "get it", it's that you probably haven't appreciated what anno was doing. there's no link i can send: unfortunately, i've seen slim to zero analysis on evangelion (except for on Sup Forums)
good painting btw

right so its not that he failed, its that it wasnt meant for me. Its not that i dont get it, I just dont appreciate it. do you think maybe youre just seeing something that isnt there to begin with? Like i said, its not that i probably dont apprecaite it. I flat out dont. Its not at all worth dragging actual art through the mud, and in no way enhances anything it references. But sure, maybe it just wasnt 'meant for me'.

This.

It was just so funny.

yeah, you're right, i could probably be seeing something that isn't explicitly contained within the series. but isn't any interpretation valid?
and i don't know about "dragging actual art through the mud"...

You still haven't been able to explain EoE despite your shilling

refer to
you condescending piece of shit

Taking things from one work of art and doing nothing with them in your own is insulting the the art youre borrowing. Id consider it dragging through the mud.

And sure interpretations are valid mate but that doesnt make something objectively good art. I know we like to throw around terms like good and bad around here like theyre facts but there actually is a way to determine the merrit of an artwork and your personal feelings on it have nothing to do with that. So what im saying is maybe instead of championing your personal favorite anime as the best work of animation to ever be made, you could seperate objective from personal opinion.

I liked that movie as well, but how?

well, i'd say that by containing other works of art within the context of the series, the other art is actually being used in a different way, although this is purely theoretical because the religious symbolism in evangelion is symbolically irrelevant
i don't want to be insulting, but i think this is one of the most ridiculous opinions you could possibly have about art. subjectivity is essentially the basis of art critique. if something is good to you, it is up to you to explain why. something does not have to hold up to some objective standard in order to be good because there is no way to determine an objective standard. can you provide an example of an objective standard you have when it comes to art?

>>entire evangelion universe is a bad ripoff of Akira

No... Akira didn't invent transhumanism

FACT: Only Sup Forums moe-loving faggots think eva is bad

FACT: only Sup Forums cancer and Sup Forums actually think eva is good
this is an actual fact too, /r/anime tourist

Evangelion ahs nothing to do with transhumanism, it's about a man-made omega point

>psh not around to play bannon in the trump admin movie

woulda been kino, i tell ya

Its not my opinion you dweeb, how do you think we decided whats classic literature? Whats worth keeping, why one bronze statue is better then another? Its not about personal opinion. There are standards and objective concepts to make decisions on what should be considered high art. Its not like in middle school where you get a gold star no matter what you draw in art class. NGE has objective flaws that prevent it from being good from an animation stand point and personal opinion has nothing to do with it.

The only reason anno put christain shit in was cuz he thought it was cool. Its insulting to thousands of years of human history to think that doesnt degrade the work anno did. I get the feeling that the cultural barrier prevented him from understanding how big of a deal the concepts he was borrowing where, that or he just didnt care?

...

a few movies get me all encouraged and pumped to change, and the feeling fades after maybe an hour.

what is classic literature/art/albums has a lot more to do with than any objective standard. i think it probably is equal amounts of popularity, originality, and some parts chance. for example, do you think sgt. pepper's would be heralded as a classic if the beatles had not been insanely popular? i think it's less likely than you think
the cultural barrier idea is a good one: i think anno probably just wanted to differentiate evangelion from other shows.
please die

Focusing on the point of rethinking my life the series finale hit me way harder actually

All you've done is examine insignificant themes and motifs that only have basis in some pretentious pseudo-intellectual, religious wankery, that has nothing that to do with the plot; because the story is shit and so is Evangelion. You try-hard kill me with this shit every time

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classic_book
I dont mean popular i mean considered a literal work of art by people that spend their lives doing the math on what that means so that opinion isnt involved.

Using christs story to sell your show isnt a positive, either hes ignorant or arrogant. And leaves a bad taste in my mouth, maybe the significance of what hes referencing is lost on the people watching.

see, i don't think that classic works of art are sorely determined by objective measures: all art analysis involves some level of opinion. (i.e. one art critic championing jackson pollock and another championing michelangelo)
and there is really very little reference to christ's story in evangelion: most of the religious references are usually from the old testament, not new (except the crosses)
evangelion is the exact opposite of pretentious or pseudo-intellectual, and if you think it is you're entirely missed the point

can one of you just give me a fucking good movie to watch?? Just took my 19 year old cat to the vet and it turns out she has severe bladder cancer and less than half a year to live. Need something to keep my mind off it...

>Recent 3 favorite movies I've seen to maybe help with suggestions

SO EXPLAIN IT YOU DAFT MUH FUCKA

The Aristocats
Homeward Bound
Keanu

I'll fight you

Well you couldve saved me the time and just told me that. If opinion is all that matters why bothering trying to convince people its worth their time if they're of the opinion its not. This whole interaction was redundant. And for the future sanity of other anons you bother, just inform them its all opinion before you trick them into thinking its worth the time.

Enemy (2013)
Day of the Dead (1985)
What we do in the shadows

no its cool holmes, watching cat stuff makes me pause and go hug my cat

i already explained eoe, but i guess it doesn't make sense if you haven't seen evangelion and/or are fucking retarded
evangelion is about interaction; namely, interaction between people and how it affects their actions, judgments, personalities, and concepts of self. what eoe does is wrap up all of the character arcs and thematic structures of evangelion. of utmost importance to eoe is the instrumentality scene, which helps gain great insight into shinji's character and psyche by expressing his desires and psychology through an action that has catastrophic consequences.
the point of expressing an opinion to others, at least to me, is not to try to convert others to my perspective, but to perhaps make others at least understand a different perspective, or to make the consumption of art different/more enjoyable

Your perspective didnt need ten posts to explain. I was under the poor impression i was talking to someone that wasnt just jacking off, second time ive made that mistake in regards to NGE.

>tfw you understand evangelion's message but you still don't have the willpower to change yourself
I'm sorry anno

ok just make sure anytime you see anybody with an actual fucking opinion be sure to educate them on the objectivity of art and the standards by which you measure them so they know that a productive dialogue is impossible
fucking christ you are retarded

If i followed that advice wed still be discussing, the difference between you and me is im not being sarcastic. You may think im stupid but I do sincerely hope you dont waste anyone elses time with your opinion. From one sentient being to another, its not worth it.

I want to f- I mean hug Lapis.

I wasn't expecting much other than a sob story from The Elephant Man, but it was touching, made me laugh and appreciate what I do have in life.

If you don't mind black and white, any Marx brother's movie will have enough funny banter to keep your mind of off it if you need a distraction.

wew
i don't really give a fuck if i'm being sarcastic because you have one of the most antiquated viewpoints on art i've ever seen and i think it probably deserves to be mocked and ridiculed. i don't really think you're stupid, but i really wish you would understand what it means to critique something.

...

One of the better critiques of Eva I've seen in a while. I love Akira but I love Eva more.

classic

home alone 3

You dont think im stupid, just fucking retarded. You think i should probably be mocked, but your not sure. I can see why you liked NGE. And i think it wouldve been clear by now, but we're talking about two different things when it comes to good art. The whole reason I linked wiki was to give you an example of what I meant as an arguement that NGE couldnt be considered the best animation based off of objective things like the poor animation qaulity in earlier episodes. Your personal opinion doesnt affect that. We are talking about two different standards and im telling you that in future you should let someone know thats the case. Its clear to me now anyway.
