This movie didn't make a lot of sense and all the promotional material makes everything even worse.

Clearly neither I nor the people putting together promos understood wtf was going on.

Just watch almost any Tarkovsky film.
They are all aesthetically, philosophically and emotionally beautiful.

Very underrated movie.

What didn't made sense about it to you, user?

Why the Wolverine and that skinny bitch keep showing up in different timelines.

What was the fountain? Was it real?

Why is Huge Jackedman on a tree spaceship doing prison tattoos?

The whole thing is practically Arthouse: The Film

The fountain was fucking amazing holy shit. The spaceship/bubble sequences alone were sublime.

Nipkino at its best

>Nine-year-old Quvenzhané Wallis, from the film Beasts of the Southern Wild, has become the youngest person ever nominated for a lead-actor Academy Award but not because her untrained performance is extraordinary acting; it’s more like what exasperated parents refer to as “showing off.” Black actresses who train for their craft never get the recognition that the Oscars easily grant to black non-professionals who fulfill racist stereotypes.

>Quvenzhané’s name may be hard to pronounce (she must have been named after the ’90s R&B group Zhané), but her role as Hushpuppy embodies the familiar, patronizing white liberal attitude toward needy, impoverished, uneducated black people—the condescension that peaked when Hurricane Katrina unleashed floodgates of bourgeois pity. That’s the motivation behind director Benh Zeitlin adapting a Katrina-inspired stage play into a magical-realist art film based on the antics of a hyperactive black child. Quvenzhané milks audience sympathy by playing the lowly creature of Southern plantation disdain (black, juvenile, irrepressible) that used to be called a pickaninny.

>Hushpuppy is a spunky reddish-complexioned tomboy who wears a wild, class-specific Afro none of the Obama First Family females would dare. Her spunkiness adapts mainstream Hollywood’s proven Shirley Temple effect to the idea of the Noble Savage. That apparently timeless notion, conferring virtuous purity to the unsophisticated Other, takes on new impetus in Beasts. Pandering has become the new empathy. President Obama even recommended Beasts to Oprah Winfrey (whose endorsement of Precious represented her own liberal-baiting safari). And film critics joined the same safari when touting Beasts as “something never seen before”—conveniently forgetting that Zeitlin’s use of a child’s poetic voice-over narration and lyrical rural scenery were devices better employed in David Gordon Green’s 2000 film George Washington.

>Why the Wolverine and that skinny bitch keep showing up in different timelines.
Hugh was probably hallucinating her or was probably her spirit urging him to move on.
>What was the fountain? Was it real?
Hugh's was traveling with the fountain, the fountain of eternal youth a.k.a the tree of life (by this movies interpretation that is)
>Why is Huge Jackedman on a tree spaceship doing prison tattoos?
After defeating death and having no more options, he's traveling to the only other solution that occurred to him to see her wife alive again, the star she was stargazing amd she explained as the afterlife for the Mayans.

Based Armond always speaking truth to power.

He's one of only a handful of black people I trust to be honest about racial shit.

>I was on the jury at the Newport Film Festival with Tim Daly and Stephen Lang and we unanimously agreed that the actors in George Washington and the film itself should receive the festival’s top prizes. Green’s cast of black and white Southern teen actors articulated some authentic, profoundly moving, verging-on-adulthood personal observations. George Washington’s subtle examination of America’s social legacy (including Green’s own adolescent sensibility) recalled Robert Flaherty’s great Louisiana Story. Green avoided Beasts’ class condescension that depicts the Southern poor as slatternly, exotic freaks. Hushpuppy is smarter than any of the financially and mentally broke-ass adults around her in the bayou area she calls “The Bathtub.” (That’s “The Ghetto” to Northern elites who are charmed by such quaint exaggeration of the South’s political economy.)

>A lot of effort goes into making a movie as sloppy-looking as Beasts. Zeitlin’s pity party fantasia emulates the rough, intensely colored style of Outsider art yet using very deliberate, cultivated means. Hushpuppy’s bric-a-brac hovel presents an almost surrealist version of hoarding; the insufferable moment where she cooks cat food for dinner and sets fire to her fleapit anticipates her climactic fantasy that the “fabric of the world is coming loose.” Imagining the Bayou in peril, she sees marching mastodons, turning Zeitlin’s self-conscious prehistorical chaos into a kiddie survivalist’s apocalyptic fairy tale.

> tfw no bullied serial killer-kin gf

why do you have to invoke the race card whenever a black person is in a movie?

what the actual fuck is wrong with you?

>It’s livelier than Pedro Costa’s condescending view of European blacks, but that’s far from a recommendation. As an American art movie, Beasts belongs to that category of calling-card films made by whites breaking into Hollywood via the indie leagues. Black subjects are always good for publicity, a tradition going back to John Cassavetes’ 1960 Shadows (a film still more brave and honest than most) and on to Fresh, Monsters Ball, Half Nelson, etc. Calling-card directors never go back to black subject-matter once they make it in the industry. (Despite the fact that Beasts is supposedly an “indie” film, it benefits from a year-long, multi-million dollar promotional campaign by its distributor Fox Searchlight.)

>Beasts represents a different incentive than Kendrick Lamar’s conceit of using the subtitle “A Short Film” on his debut album Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City. Lamar’s song cycle conveys a panoply of contemporary black American experiences in musical sketches that music critics mistakenly call “cinematic.” Lamar’s album is vivid because it’s also insightful. Beasts lacks insight and settles for being gaudy and lurid. Lamar’s conflicted characters and caring adult females contrast to Hushpuppy’s encountering maternal affection only at the Elysian Fields brothel. Ah, the motherly black whore! Beasts of the Southern Wild also revives the only racist cliché older than the pickaninny. Maybe the Oscars will nominate Quvenzhané for that role when she gets older.

Ok so what powers the spaceship?

Is it LOX or some sort of Methane fuel mixture? What's the delta-v on that thing? How does he navigate?

what is your point?

He's the only one who will call liberals on their patronizing horseshit.

He's pretty much always right too. Precious is a horrible fucking movie.

Armond did dipshit

Noticed Jackman's tattoos? They resemble the rings inside a tree. He has been traveling for centuries on that ship, he's probably started after he tried to carve a ring into his ring finger. Guy probably has been living for way more years than we can imagine.

It's a shitty, ugly film and George Washington did it much much better
At least that's Armond's point

who gives a fuck? you wrote a wall of greentext because of that?

kek

That's fascinating but it doesn't answer any of my technical questions on the engineering of Tree Spaceship.

I didn't write anything I just copypasted it because you were calling a atrociously-shot movie in a thread about movies with good aesthetics

Probably the best looking movie of the 2010s so far

This film really is beautiful looking.

It's ironic Mr. Turner is such an unappealing, unsavory man.

>Either aesthetically, philosophically or emotionally.
you need to learn to read, user. you also need to stop being so afraid of black people.

I don't think that's the point of that particular part of the movie. The fact that it's implied he's in the far future of humanity should suffice.

>aesthetically dull
>emotionally shallow
>philosophically nonexistant

So where does your shitty movie fit in this thread?
Every one of those posts was written by a black man user

>The fact that it's implied he's in the far future of humanity should suffice.
>dude just turn your brain off
It's arthouse. That's really the only explanation. It literally defies logic.

You're missing the point entirely.

i'd argue with you but you're obviously mentally challenged. it'd be cruel of me to do so.

so here, have a picture of a dog. funny, right? (you're not scared of dogs too are you?)

Based Barry Lyndon

No, I got the point. I just don't really care for arthouse.

i cried at the ending.

also, checked

...

Underrated because it's depressing as fuck man

Why isn't the ash falling from the cigarette? Why isn't their hair blowing despite them blasting away on the motorbike? This realization, this single scene, is what ruined the film for me.

Hey, at least it has a happy ending

Overrated movie but what a waste of quads

Great soundtrack too

Contact was kind of a boring movie, but the whole space travel sequence was pure kino.
The last scene of the travel with her and the alien being projecting his father image was so beautiful and emotional.

You accuse the movie of being politically motivated, when in reality it's armond review and your posting what it's politically motivated.

The movie looks fine and the script it's great, child actors are always annoying unless they don't do anything but the script required it and they did the best you can do with that.

Agreed, great scene.

Armond White accuses it

jackman's character was finishing his wife's book. he isnt literally in space in the future. as he finishes the book he gets emotional closure from her death. fin.
