>There are plebian redditors who unironically hate 2001 What the fuck happened?
>But they have 5 minute scenes of nothing for no reason There IS a reason for the 5 minute scenes of (so-called) "nothing". We spend 10 minutes looking at apes in plain desert, showing us how we developed human behavour for the first time. THEN....all of a sudden, we're seeing a spaceship & spacestation. Without the 5 minute scenes, The film wouldn't be able to make us appreciate the technology we've managed to create since the "dawn of man". All those 5 minute scenes of "nothing" are one of the most important aspects of the film.
>But the movie litterally starts out with 3 minutes of nothing There is a reason as to why the film plays 3 minutes of music before the film starts. The song 'requiem' plays whenever a monolith appears on-screen. Stanley uses 'Requiem' to not only create a chilling mood but also give the monolith a voice. 'Requiem' is the monolith's voice speaking to whoever it is facing. By having the music play over the black screen at the beginning of the film Kubrick is actually showing us the first monolith. This monolith speaking to the audience suggests that we're about to witness a film so grand and so magnificent that it will open up our eyes to things we've never even thought possible.
>But the movie was incredibly boring The long "boring" parts were the most profound. It was about the awesomeness of being a tiny creature in the unfathomable vastness of space and the unanswerable questions of existence. I felt like I was along for the ride awed by the very fact of being suspended in the beauty and horror of empty space. It's a more realistic vision of space travel.
>B-but people only force themselves to like it in order to look smart! Just look at my epic copypasta! It's funny how you seem to know the opinion of everyone who has ever seen this film.
>I-It's just nostalgia!
>Nostalgia >Movie from the 60s How old do you think everyone here is?
Seems like you were so assblasted from earlier today that you wanted to just attack the weakest arguments from there. This doesn't mean that you're wrong, but it's a little too obvious to anyone who was in that thread.

>movie opens up with 15 minutes of monkeys throwing shit at each other I nearly fell asleep right there, they could have condensed it down to 3 minutes
Daniel Clark
What thread are you talking about? I woke up an hour ago.
Sebastian Thompson
this. I loved the film, but I can't deny it was unnecessarily long.
Nicholas Evans
>butthurt from yesterdays thread wew This is the problem with 2001 fags they need to defend themselves because they want to pretend they like the movie so they can signal to other pseuds how deep into film they are.
Just get over it. People dont like the same movie you do.

No I didn't, I wrote this yesterday.
Also, please link me the thread.
Asher Hughes
you're the redditor for desperately trying to make others like the movie
Easton Phillips
People not okay with the "nothing happening" scenes are the biggest pleb ADD manchildren. It's like a classical song with different intensity throughout the song but Retarded plebs want some pop music that is fun and bouncy all the way through. Enjoy spiderman homecoming redditors.
Carter Adams
I'm not trying to make you like it, I'm just saying that you should return to reddit if you don't.
Benjamin Murphy
Congrats, you are underageb& like all the other kubrick memesters.
Jackson Reed
>i'll call him underage, that'll show him!
Cooper Barnes
The movie has unnecessarily long scenes. Any of the points you argue about could be established in scenes 1/4 the length. Okay. So the movie is wandering and long winded. I could deal with that if it had a proper ending, or indeed much content at all. Leaving aside reproduction symbolism and memes like that, what do you think the movie means? What makes it so good?
Robert Evans
>Biggest pleb ADD manchildren I'm guessing you liked The Turin Horse then because nothing happens.
It's fucking boring. I can sit through it just fine without sperging out but that doesn'y make it any good.
Tyler Peterson
That's litterally explained in the OP you mong.
Julian Phillips
This movie was great for its time because of the special effects being groundbreaking for the time. Strip that away and you have a mediocre sci fi flick.

Yes, and a competent director would have directed those scenes in a way that doesn't put a hyperactive 5 year old to sleep. It's just shitty film making, no excuse. >The long "boring" parts were the most profound. A film doesn't have to be boring to be profound.

Hating on 2001 is a classic troll tactic, it always works.
2001 is my favourite film, watching it on acid was truly amazing.
Brody Hill
It didn't have enough laser guns and SJW pandering for you liking?
Carson Young

Connor Phillips
>Shitty filmaking This.
The scenes are unnecessarily long and if it came out today it would be criticised for it, I dont care that it was the "first to do it", it did it wrong. It was so basic how he filmed the apes, I see more complex filmaking from a wildlife documentary.
Nicholas Cruz

Ryan Williams
Fuck off. Before Sunrise was just two people walking around a city, talking and it wasn't boring for a second. You know why? BECAUSE IT HAD A COMPETENT DIRECTOR!

I wasn't bored during 2001, yet it took me 3 viewings to get through Before Sunrise.

Having scenes that are far too long and add nothing the longer they go on is a legitimate argument though
Jose Robinson
I swear to god you people would watch 3 hours of closeups of obese guys taking a shit if Kubrick filmed it.
Jordan Torres
Take your ritalin, billy.

Right so you say this, but probably hated The Wailing

Never heard of it.

Dylan Johnson
I liked it. I thought the visuals were trippy and what little of the plot I understood, I enjoyed.
That being said, I might literally be too stupid for this movie.
I'll be the first to admit that most of it probably went over my head, and when the movie started popping LSD near the end, I had embraced that I was more or less just along for the ride.
I can't comment on whether or not it is the work of brilliance some claim, but I enjoyed myself enough to make it worth it.

It hasnt aged well.
Other movies do it better.
Obnoxious symbolism.
Tangential stoeytelling.
Just like clockwork Orange it was groundbreaking for its time butvteppid against todays offerings, just the way it is. By the year 2040 when batman has been rebooted xth time and available in VR people will hardly scoff at TDK. Its just the way of things.
What it could benefit from is a remake, maybe a more sane director who is able to tie the whole thing together better.
Josiah White

Nathan Flores
It seems like you have run out of arguments and just scream 'r-redditor!' at this point.
As for the argument that the entire thing is subjective, it's not. There are objectively good and bad things about it.
Logan Jackson
Yes, because of kubrick's absolute garbage directing.

Let me spell it out for you IT. IS. BORING. AND. OBNOXIOUS.

Wyatt Reyes
'Boring' is an subjective term.
Kevin Ward
That you are lying on the internet.
Isaac White
>boring wrong
what other movies take you to prehistoric times
then to the moon then to the future
the movie is so densely packed it's like 3 stories in one
it's like a proto infinite jest not that you would know the names of any books pleb
there is nothing obnoxious about this movie it shows a clear and distilled picture
do you even know what the definition of obnoxious is?
Do black people like this film? Or do they hate it because they see the apes in the beginning and get primal urges to chimp out.
Leo Adams
>the setting of the movie means it can't be boring I feel like my IQ just dropped several points from reading your garbage post.
Isaiah Campbell
i've never actually seen a black person discuss this movie
Henry Jones
I have to agree with you completely OP. Those long, drawn out moments are when i feel the most intense and reflect on my own interpretations.
I recently got butt-hurt about ADD millennials just last week
>Re-watching m.night's Signs with my younger sister (by 11 years) >Appreciate all these emotional moments i never noticed before >Well up at all the "muh faith" scenes >Basically fucking crying at the ending >There's a small transition scene at the end where we pan around the room to show the changing of the seasons/ Mel wearing his minister's outfit again/children laughing in background >She complains "OMG just fucking hurry up, why does it have to be so slow" >Literally lasted about 30 seconds (very short time of reflection) >On her phone the whole way through the movie, won't stop fidgeting and loudly chewing food
I realise this is a shitty example because signs basically sucks (we both laughed at the CGI) but it just took my last shred of hope away that we would ever be able to appreciate film together. At least the rest of my family gets it but these fucking reddit millenials man they are just a lost cause. She's excited to go see Valerian, no fucking way i'm ever gonna watch that trash. Just gonna go see War of the Apes with my bro (5 years younger) what a fucking difference 5 years and having a penis makes.
Ayden Harris
Personally, I've never actually seen a smart person discuss it.
Hudson Hill
good it's already very low
you didn't even refute any points
what the fuck do you mean the setting of the movie means it can't be boring?
