What are some good films that really grasp the time period of the 1950s white America. I'm looking for some films with this very wholesome and comfy setting back to a simpler and happier time specifically where the film is based on a family and the man/husband is the protagonist?

tree of life

to kill a plebing birdop

the bridges of kukson county

1. That's not actually how it was IRL
2. That post-WWII environment bred the world you know today

Watch Happy Days instead, it's about as real as the non-existent America you're pining for

idk why you like the 1950s so much

i mean, the streets were all clean, and people were organized, less crime, a man could be a man and was free to start a family and see his children grow and play safely in a functional society with meaning in life.

seems like a really shitty place, to be honest.

>That post-WWII environment bred the world you know today
the counter culture movement bred the world you know today. if it hadnt have happened it wouldnt be this disgusting

>You don't think re-runs would lie to me, do you?

this, you guys think it was good but it was really bad

now is better we have more memes and porn and weed is legal plus they didn't have the avengers and people were actually really sad not happy

And the counter-culture movement wouldn't have happened if they didn't grow up in that environment.

The Last Picture Show

another thread full of retards whose liberal college professors told them america was never like that

but it was :^)

this is objectively untrue. the only reason people think so is BECAUSE of tv/movies like leave it to beaver and the andy griffith show.

True. Needed more minorities being bussed into the calm suburbs.

Shame there are only 3 answers of which I have seen 1. I want to know about comfy movies set in this time period as well.

Literally the only good thing about the 1950s is the aesthetic.

>automobiles and (((suburbs))) kill our communities
>generation of PTSD sufferers drowning their sorrows
>rigid social conformity
>rampant consumerism
>constant fear of nuclear war
>proliferation of television

The last four are directly responsible for the 1960s counter-culture, just FYI.

Pre-WWII U.S.A. > Post-WWII U.S.A. (and I'm not going to sit around and pretend the former was some sort of utopia either)

The 50s are often presented with that idea that families always smiled and pretended everything was great while hiding their problems. Any movies that capture this?

>but it was really bad
DUDE IT WAS BAD BECAUSE THERE WAS RACISM :(

id be fine with racism if we lived in a functional fucking society that wasnt utterly cancerous.

You fags like to say the 50's were shit but you never explain why aside from "muh racism/sexism"

Theres much more to life than your idiotic superficial class struggles, things like education, art, advancement of society, and cohesion, But no, lets FUCK all of that for the sake of diversity, lets live in filth while our children are raped, our rights and privacy diminished and history revised, but hey, at least we can freely smoke weed

You are only fine with racism because you are white though.

love it when teens who have never cracked open a history book talk about something like theyre experts on it

>rigid social conformity

oh god forbid you have a family and a decent life, yeah that sounds like shit. Id rather be alone and go to parties every weekend and grind my facid cock against twerking bitches on molly until my late 30's

obviously stand by me

I don't know why you equate rigid social conformity with having a family/decent life, or why you feel that nobody since the 1950s has had either.

>rrreeeeeee normies and roasties!!!
Oh, that's why.

Twin Peaks
Most David Lynch movies in general

>dude social conformity is bad

>why was i stabbed i cant believe my city has so much crime how could this have happened i have no idea why :(((
>im so lonely i need to smoke weed all the time just to feel normal, i dont have a place in society I WONDER WHY

If you want it depressing.

SHUT THE FUCK UP IT'S NOT MY FAULT I CAN'T GET A JOB OR A GF IT'S SOCIETY'S REEEEEEEEEEEEE

that keaton mcdonalds film

Twin Peaks is set in the 50s!? Not so interested in watching that now.

>depressing
it was a farce, i can't believe anybody would take this cartoon seriously

>or why you feel that nobody since the 1950s has had either.

take a look at some divorce statistics, increased massively after the 50's

If you don't think all of that is comfy then fuck off grandpa, crying about consumerism and television lmao. Cold war anxiety was actually like the warm comforting embrace of the American flag and I really miss it as an 80s lad.

Iirc there's a movie with Julianne Moore, Morgan Freeman and the guy from Enemy Mine. It's in the 50's and it's about Julianne Moore finding out her husband is gay. Not sure if it starts comfy and then shit hits the fan or if it starts when everything goes wrong, haven't seen it.

It's not set in the 50s but the original seasons capture the 50s suburban feel and use the same style/ aesthetic. Also what's wrong with the 50s?

>I don't know why you equate rigid social conformity with having a family/decent life

if you dont know why, youre fucking retarded and seem to think hedonistic nihilist lifestyle is totally fine, fuck you.

>dude social conformity is bad
Well, the backlash against it lead to the counter-culture.

>why was i stabbed i cant believe my city has so much crime how could this have happened i have no idea why :(((
Last time I checked, the crime rate is declining.

>im so lonely i need to smoke weed all the time just to feel normal, i dont have a place in society I WONDER WHY
As opposed to drinking or popping pills?

You're a lot like those betas who think that if they moved to a foreign country they'd suddenly be an extremely popular chad.

>80s
Now that's actually disgusting.

...

Nothing but one of the reasons I was interested in Twin Peaks was specifically because it came out in 1990 or so and I'm currently in a phase where I'm interested in early 90's stuff.

You mean the last five.

(I mean because I assume it's also set in the time it came out)

I agree. They needed to be more culturally diverse

Not exactly what you said but its about a kid scared of his parents in 1950s Americana.
Some scenes are comfy, but mostly unsettling.

...

You should watch it, it's comfy as hell

Where have I expressed any sort of support for a "hedonistic nihilist lifestyle" and why do you think that rejecting the disgusting, artificial suburban lifestyle of the post-WWII era is tantamount do doing so?

Are there any places in the US that are still completely white? Nebraska? Montana?

Why this sub is so full of conformists and bootlickers? Not ONE of you would fit in the 50s

how is OP alt right and or crying, is saying "white" enough now

The 1950s was all about conformity and bootlicking, though. So were the 1960s, just with different window dressing.

Sure thing, I will, thanks

The complete midwest and interior states are virtually.

What do you have to be like to fit in the 50's then? A rebel without a cause?

Talk to any older generations, watch their home movies, listen to their stories and you will find this is absolutely true. Vietnam ruined this because it radicalized the youth and exposed them to marxism. Fuck LBJ I hope he's burning in hell right now.

Its set in the 1990's but Lynch talks about constantly seeking to convey that 50's optimism and then looking deeper to find the darkness beneath it. (I'm horribly paraphrasing).

There's even a meta self referential scene in Twin Peaks S1 regarding the comfiness and timelessness of Twin Peaks the town.

That's what is disgusting about Sup Forums lately. Always trying to get on someone's dick, for either side of the political spectrum. The trump shit is extra homo but it's all sickening.

im sorry im sorry the 50s sucked they sucked the future is so much better i love capeshit i love memes god isnt real i love weed i love capeshit i love capeshit

>Pleasentville
>West Side Story/Outsiders?
>Andy Griffith
>The Brak Show
>Any piece of crap by Stephen King

What's wrong with conforming to a functional and well-to-do society that celebrates itself?

youre either sucking hitler's cock or youre sucking migrant/nigger cock just to be contrarian to Sup Forums

>the brak show
kek. It's true though

tfw ur keen on a swell dame but pops forbids you from seeing her after word gets round shes been spouting some commie gobbledygook so u and the guys drown her in the river outside of town and its the 50s so u get away with it and score another point for usa

This user gets it! Too much conformity. Let's be nonconformist and watch meme shows while we have open cuck relationships and kneel for the anthem while watching it on tv.

t. Wubba lubba dub dub

>What do you have to be like to fit in the 50's
An alcoholic that beats the shit out of his wife and kids bc you have untreated ptsd for all the japs and germans that you killed or the ones that killed your friends

Truman Show, the reality of Truman on Seahaven Island is based in a quasi 50/60s like setting. It gives me the white utopia feels.

>conforming to a functional and well-to-do society that celebrates itself
What do you mean by this?

t. Average intelligence only son of a single mother who gets his information on the 50's from Hollywood and Saul Bellows because his grandfather disowned his WHore mother for burning coal.

Lol who would want to live in wholesome America with a strong dollar and fair wages

you do NOT want to live in a utopia
you do NOT want to live in a homogenous society
all of those smiles were FAKE
they were NOT happy

anything GOOD is actually secretly BAD and SPOOKY

dude society now is so great

I love passing through three metal detectors just to get to my flight, i love that my kids cant walk to school alone, i love the fact that living in a city means constantly being at risk of being mugged or stabbed, this society full of people who only care about themselves makes me so thankful that there is no god and that i am a horrible human being merely for being white, history and art is meaningless in a wonderful society where everyone is in debt and you cant find a decent job, no cultural identity, nothing to live for, no respect, nothing to work for, nothing to believe in besides MONEY and PUSSY, what a grand future this is, what a perfect society. Im just so fucking happy

You're either ugly or non-white.

>"leave it to beaver" was a documentary
>i would totally be an alpha-chad if i was born 70 years ago
>i literally can't improve myself and my life now because i was born in the wrong generation

I am now sad

this but ironically

Just go to Sup Forums and you'll get the same feeling you're looking for.

this sounds unironically good and fun

PLEASANTVILLE

Good representation of the cultural Marxism scourge turning everything coloured

This movie is a literal deconstruction of the "Sitcom '50s" meme. You want OP have an autistic meltdown?

>where the film is based on a family
>the man/husband is a protagonist
The fact that OP is specifically seeking out films like this makes me give it at least an 90% chance that OP is conservative and is triggered at liberal films today, films that don't conform to traditional ideas about society.

Exactly what I said, how is that hard to understand? What's wrong with conforming to a culture that takes pride in itself, promotes being a man working hard and taking care of your family, not being degenerate, getting an education, and loving your country? Most of these things are common sense values that have been around forever in human history but today will get you labeled a "conservative" or "stuck in the past" or, my favorite, a "Nazi".
You're too far gone, you've been force fed blue pills all your life since before kindergarten. You never had a chance. You were taught Hitler was the most evil man on Earth while never being taught one single thing about the Great Leap Forward or Stalin's gulags and pogroms. Disney Channel and nickelodeon taught you that it's OK to be a man child stuck in arrested development, and your generation X parents taught you that it doesn't matter if you win, it's the fact that you tried that counts and that you're a special snowflake who can do anything and he whatever you want.
It's not your fault though.

Dude I know right? Conservashits need to go back to Pol so I can keep talking about how much i love cuck porn

>idolizing any form of (((civilization)))

Oy vey

this is a fucked up post and you should apologize

I'm not OP but I'm quite the SJW liberal fuck and I want to watch a movie like the one OP described too, just because it sounds comfy and the 50's are pretty aesthetic.

having no meaning in your life and floating from one comfort to another in a dangerous society is actually a good thing because it means youre ALIVE

working for a family, gaining respect and bettering society is basically being a cuck for THE MAN, like a slave, bro.

t. rick and morty fan

the 50s were bullshit. no internet.

>implying Sup Forums is anything but leftist shills posting bait threads, FBI pretending to be nazis, and pepe memes

I know right? How else am I supposed to shitpost and watch BBC cuck porn?

Watch a 50s movie like notorious by Hitchcock

>education
Yeah get ready for some quality 1950s science lessons
Also you better not act like a weirdo, or its off to the mental institute for you! Hope you like shock therapy and beatings!
Maybe if you're lucky you can leave without a fucking lobotomy

Most films needs a conflict to be interesting. So even if there were films like that they would be about his problems, not about his comfy life.

All I see are buzzwords and puffery.

>hurr DAE the '50s when everyone was happy and functional and non-degenerate
Wow, what a vivid, meaningful picture you've painted there. Such substance.

>blah blah nu males blah blah degeneracy blah blah snowflakes
Jesus. Sure, education failed me, and I couldn't find any sort of "higher meaning" in God or country. I couldn't force myself into believing in those things like you seemingly want to, so I did what most of our generation does and turned to nihilism (big mistake). Ultimately, I found a lot more happiness when I embraced myself. I educated myself and improved myself. Now I have a decent job and small but close group of real friends. The only thing I'd still like is a sense of community, but I blame the lack of that on the "Baby Boom" and suburbanization of your beloved 1950s.

tl;dr You can sit and bitch about being born in le wrong generation, or you can put in the effort to improve yourself and maybe even the world around you.

Looking at this disturbing photo, all kinds of thoughts enter my mind...
What kind of secrets are behind these empty eyes, What lies have these shallow smiles whispered?

These are children who will never watch an episode of rick and morty, on a tablet or any other device, the mother obviously is having an affair and wishes she had aborted all of the children to focus on her career as an artist...
I am also sure 1005 the father mercilessly beats them all every night.

dude are you black? can you fuck my girlfriend? cause im feeling particularly guilty right now and am ready to be on the right side of history

Social differences aren't a thing when conservatives complain about them. Sit down

>abloobloo my life sucks because rick & morty and roasties dude cucks lmao

Bigger Than Life is all the things you're asking for although it's critical of them and not actually very wholesome. Still a good film.
