Thread for those of us who've been watching cinema seriously for 5+ years and have advanced past capeshit, mainstream movies and the same old flicks.
Don't be offended, this is not meant to be pretentious, its just some of us have moved past IMDb-core, indie flicks and the latest hyped blockbuster and have more developed tastes. Do not troll or derail the thread with off-topic discussion.
2001 is one of the grimmest films I have ever seen in my life...I think that Kubrick is someone who is too intelligent, too cynical, too pessimistic about man, or about men rather, and I think that as it turns out, 2001 is a disaster because it is much too abstract to make its abstract points.

The uncompromising slowness of the movie makes it hard to sit through without talking -- and people on all sides when I saw it were talking almost throughout the film. Very annoying. With all its attention to detail, a kind of reveling in its own I.Q., the movie acknowledged no obligation to validate its conclusion for those, me for example, who are not science-fiction buffs. By the end, three unreconciled plot lines -- the slab, Dullea's aging, the period bedroom -- are simply left there like a Rorschach, with murky implications of theology

The issue is simply that, on this occasion, Mr. Kubrick was unable to translate his ideas into adequate patterns of expression, and that’s all there is to it. It doesn’t mean that it would have been a better film if everybody on the Metro lot had been able to give his opinion of what was going on and suggest improvements and so forth. It think it would have been a much bigger mess than it turned out to be.

Watched Nosferatu for third time and then Nosferatu with Kalat's commentary. Now I know that the main force behind the film wasn't Murnau but a crazy occultist Albin Grau.

Why do people criticize Flaherty for the qualities Kiarostami is praised for?
