Mr. Reece Kitty gives Intolerance: Love's Struggle Throughout the Ages a 4 star rating
...
You do.
I do.
He does.
He didn't give a review, so we don't know why he didn't give it a 5. Oh well, I guess we can only assume. Most likely it was because "muh boredom" but "pioneering" and "unrivaled spectacle" so 4 stars.
When you're representing human existence, you're bound to have "spectacle". Intolerance isn't really "intolerance", it's "Man". But Griffith already made Genesis, and Intolerance was equally an attack as much as an artistic statement. A vicious attack from god himself.
Who gives a shit. It's fucking boring faggot. Napoleon is better.

hello friends
no!!!!!!!!!!
OOh Boy! Loved the literal swinging of the camera on a rope! Really got my blood boiling! And the widescreen. EPIX!!
EPIX!!!!!!!!!!!
You've been here for a year, and the only thing that's changed is your watched count.
I'll spell it out easy for you.
YOU WILL NEVER GET TASTE, GENES NO GOOD
haha they should put this on the poster of Napoleon :))
Why is Intolerance better than Napoleon now? More specifically, do you have any reasons that don't involve sucking up to me?
>that doesn't belong on this list
it's a list of all of the silent films I've seen, why wouldn't I put certain silent movies on there? Otherwise a very interesting game and I'm glad I got picked to be the first contestant, what do I win?
I LOVE GRIFFITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wahoo!!!!!!!!!
Shouldn't be watching trash to begin with, aspie.
Really? What have you seen by him?
Oh you know, Birth of a Nation, Intolerance, Broken Blossoms, True Heart Susie, Orphans of the Storm, the list goes on!!
why did you spend your time making this and why is he a poop baby
what the fuck is this?
He's a model. An inanimate model, my puppet. He doesn't have a mind of his own after all. Only watches what I tell him to. See recent It's a model for the rest of you drooling slack-jawed drones.
>why is he a poop baby
next best thing to nigger babies
>Only watches what I tell him to
you didn't tell me to watch any of those
Ooh boy, a list! Better add these to my watchlist

Little did the drooling slack-jawed drones know, I haven't revealed my whole hand. Thousands of works only I know of and have access to in archival prints.
I give them excrement, and *GASP* - THEY ENJOY IT
>Thousands of works only I know of and have access to in archival prints.

He thinks he can offend me, he thinks he can challenge me.

For a long time I've considered posting in these threads, but now I must say I don't want to get bullied by megaautist. I don't have half as good taste as the people he does ridicule. And I mean I'm working on it. And I wish I could complain, but honestly elitism like that is what this board needs. So I'm annoyed but also kinda happy he's here
>I don't want to get bullied by megaautist
pussy
George Clooney is a cunt.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I know. But I've never seen anything by Griffith or Flaherty. Hardly any films before the 40s or 50s actually. Which like I said, I'm working on. But I liked F for Fake and many other unacceptable films. And while I can defend why I liked them (I'm not tasteless, I do know what I like and don't) I also can't know if I would feel the same way if I'd seen the other supposedly better films and directors first. So I guess I'm more of an embryo then a pleb, I can defend my taste, but I haven't seen enough to justify anything
FUCK YOU
YOU WHORE
FUCK WOODY ALLEN
YOU WHORE
EMILY JEAN IS BETTER THAN YOU.
Jesus
These threads always feel the same
Do something new for once
Griffith has never done a musical.

come up with something new
Only God Forgives is a decadent drag act
Ryan Gosling plays DiCaprio to Nicolas Winding Refn’s Scorsese–acting out an adolescent idea of manliness in Drive and now Only God Forgives. But sulky Gosling lacks DiCaprio’s hammy brio just as Refn lacks Scorsese’s flamboyance, so he mopes and broods; practicing a weak swagger amidst Refn’s brutal, grotesque, nihilistic stagings
Refn was praised for the derivative noir style of last year’s Drive so why not try to get away with it again? But sicker and darker this time? In Only God Forgives, Refn imitates the Asian noir of schlockmeister Park Chan-Wook (Oldboy) in this story of a ruthless Bangkok gangster Chang (Vithaya Pansringarm) waging battle with an American-boy reprobate: Julian (Gosling) is determined to avenge his sadistic brother’s death, egged on by his dragon lady mother, Crystal (Kristin Scott Thomas).
Like Drive, Refn repeats that neo-noir tendency for atrocity. Vengeance goes unexamined as psychology, it’s merely an opportunity for outre gore and repugnant spectacle. By scene three of Only God Forgives, the sight of one man’s cut-off arm, a slaughtered prostitute and Julian’s brother so beaten to death his blood is splattered across the room of a flophouse, our trust in life, morality and pop art is completely undermined. (Refn snarkily caps the sequence with Chang’s karaoke performance.) The cutthroat underworld Refn creates (where Western Caucasians are free to indulge an implied Eastern disrespect for life) is so exaggerated, feverish and slick you either laugh at it or fall for it then laugh at it.
The humorless appeal to adolescent taste ultimately infects Refn’s concept of heroism. Though Julian sometimes has psychic visions of dismemberment, he displays a catatonic chic. His confrontation with Chang is spoken with schoolkid childishness: “Wanna fight?” is an attempt at conveying innocent depravity. Such stupidity must strike Refn and his fans as cool. Given the film’s pervy, incestuous teases, Gosling is like a little boy wearing Mommy’s dress, necklace and high-heels. And director Refn is his playmate. Each of Gosling’s Refn roles is a drag act in which he strikes poses too grown up for his callow brooding and too silly for Refn‘s overwrought style. A truly cool actor might wink at Refn’s conceits but Gosling plays at intensity and mysterious depth that seems borrowed–and it is a drag. (Scott Thomas beats star and director at their game: her decadent, racist matriarch suggests the damnedest impersonation of Ellen Barkin in Johnny Handsome.)
This nonsense is so inorganic to any sense of globetrotter restlessness or anything explicitly or metaphorically to do with British or American colonialism that it just feels derivative. That Kubrickian scene in Drive of dead-eyed strippers watching an assault gets extended here in a more elaborate whorehouse sequence where catatonic hookers bear mute witness to instances of police corruption. Refn’s tableau of organdy-gowned call-girls listening to pop while watching violence in a bouquet-bedecked whorehouse is the ultimate David Lynch parody.
hello it's me again, the wonderful smart boy who is good and has simply wonderful (some might say perfect) genes
Gosling and Refn have art ambitions–a strange sense of fun. But how can film culture progress with fantasies like this? There’s no shock or outrage left. Refn relies upon a level of menace (unerotic, non-provocative) that precludes caring about or responding to violence, vulnerability, mortality. This is cinema for unsophisticated viewers who don’t already know Bunuel’s eye-slashing, Altman’s Coke bottle assault or Shakespeare/Julie Taymor’s Titus. Children of Kubrick, Friedkin, Lynch and Tarantino, they remain infantile about movies.
