Did this kino rile you up with jealousy?

Did this kino rile you up with jealousy?

If you can bear it past the 15 minute mark you're a hero.

No...explain further

I've seen it twice, really liked it

Did you not yearn for the same level of fun during your teenage years? Do you not feel remorse at the fact that you missed out on so much?

I almost cried at the end with the Sacramento scenes.

What's this even?Le wymin director or is it actually ok?

It's genuinely very decent

I felt only kinship in her reletionship with her mother, her teenage "years" are run of the mill that's the whole point of the movie.

for me it was too american, not in a bad way, but i see that everyone that loved it remarked how relatable it was, in my case it wasnt relatable at all, if anything i didnt like the main character and what happens is far from how adolescence was where i lived, i think it may be the case also for other third world countries.

Well made and written, but adds little new to the genre

What did you like about? Might've been my mood, but it left me with nothing. Though I don't particularly like coming of age films.

It's a very heartfelt movie, it's not pretentious even though you kind of expect it to be. It's very deliberate and understated, and I think the depictions of the hometown nostalgia and childhood angst are really top-notch

Maybe I'm just too far removed from that situation to relate to it. Are you a guy or a gril? Did you go to a small-town Christian school?

I'm sure the enjoyment of this movie correlates with how much you can relate with it. You don't need to be a teenage girl but having shitty relationship with parents, going to a religious school, wanting to go far away for university, living in a poor neighborhood, being poorer than your classmates, teen love problems, etc all make the movie more enjoyable.

Well I'm jealous because Sersha get to be on top of my Timmy

I wouldn't call it kino. But it's a fine movie.

She seems like someone who would be really cool, until you meet them.

stopped watching when she approached at the market and chatted him up, immersion realism ruined
no girl ever would will do something like this, not even with chads

Nah, you’re probably just ugly

youre right, although that doesnt mean im mistaken

didn't rile me up with anything. a good movie, but not much to it

I fucking kek-ed irl during all the scenes with Timothée Chalamet. I 100% knew a person who was just like his character.

That sex scene was so fucking funny and true.

>inb4 greta and i had the same teenagehood.

*tips divacup*
yaaas queen

Kyle's character is actually pretty much cut from the film. There should be more scenes related to his father, but I guess test screening said it's not necessary so he came out as just some douchebag

I kinda liked it this way. I wanted him to be a pretentious douche.

Reddit: The Le Kino

Not that guy but Gerwig being a relatively young director who actually grew up in the same era I did and made a movie about it gave it a sense of sincere nostalgia I'd never experienced.
Also the mother daughter relationship reminded me of my mom and my sister, how they're going out of their way to do things together and in a way romanticize their own relationship then turn on each other with a flip of a switch.

He was 17 in a shitty band named after Criterion film about a French foster child while spouting micro-rebellions against his rich parents and hanging out with rich catholic school kids, if you couldn't tell from the first scene he had that he was full of shit then I feel sorry for you.

That being said he was a good character, I'm sure everyone knew/knows someone like him, hell one of my best friends through undergrad was basically him. Lady Bird becoming disillusioned with people were the best scenes in the film.

>movies that men will never understand

Duh, why do you think roasties and women like it so much?

Should I watch it if I think that the grill is cute ?

I wish I liked this movie more but it just felt like a repetition of much better movies about teenagers. Her relationship with her mom just felt like it came from Margaret. Most of the other aspects also just felt like tired cliches. It was fine but I wanted more.

She's in every scene, so you'd also get to watch a great movie while ogling a cute grill.

You'd have to have been a total loser in high school to be jealous of her. She's poor and has one friend, her boyfriend is gay and then she loses her virginity to a stoner who climaxes in 5 seconds.

Nice, will watch

>ywn have sershs number

>pick up phone
>hear accent
>immediately hang up
Disgusting

Just reminded me of all the dumb slutty "punk" girls that went to my catholic high school

you can tell it's her first time directing, but the script is good and the acting is decent

Yes, that fucking faggot

Approached at the market? When the fuck did this happen?

You mean at the cafe?

d-do you think t-they?

It happened a lot to me, when I was young and cute.

Chalameme is gay as fuck, look how comfortable she is with him.

the food library you fucking hayseed.

She approached Danny at the mini mart

you belong in an oven.

user, I know it's surprising to you, but it's fairly normal for straight guy and girl to be touchy with each other without them fucking. Just go to any party

Fuck you and your shitty descriptions. I still don't know what you're talking about.

She was really only with 3 guys. 1) Gay boy who she meets at school. 2) Edge-lord who she talks to at the cafe. 3) Beta-atheist at the party.

Pleb

Maybe that's my true vocation, I'll never know.

Pretentious, boring little art film with a laundry list of SJW topics and bullet points jammed in to desperately win over the nauseatingly left leaning film critic community, this movie is so ridiculously overrated it's both comical and pathetic.

there was but one food library approach. turn your brains on and rewatch the movie film, dumb bastard. i don't have crayons to make this any clearer.

I bet he's going to respect her too much later, if you know what I mean.

Oh yeah, the grocery store. I forgot about that.

I shouldn't be laughing so hard at that

Nice.

FOOD LIBRARY

This movie is just Rushmore + the edge of seventeen + saved! = Lady Bird.

And it's not as good as any of those. It's fine, but it is not oscar worthy and I will suprised if it wins anything.

"Frances Ha" was better

That's exactly what I expected this film to be before watching it, but I don't feel it came across that way at all. I found it to be surprisingly conservative. What you're describing is something like Lena Dunham with Girls. Lady Bird, in the end, supported religion, the principles her parents taught her, and broke free from her rebellious period.

>mfw someone calls a bildungsroman a coming of age film near me

go to bed oliver

no, i was a chad back in highschool and had many friends and went to house parties all the time

congrats on the ovaries, bro

it's shit by all accounts.

this

It felt like a coming of age story aimed at adults instead of teenagers and kids, particularly with the strong focus on her relationship with her parents, which was surprisingly deep and relateable.

Not the best movie ever, but I can see why critics found little to dislike about it.

yeah, all of those had that super annoying almost savant teenager who can shut the fuck up ANY adult with his witty brain power
fuuuuuuuuuuuuck that
thanks for lady bird

>not a new ip
>same writing style

It's quite a nuanced film. It has a teenage protagonist that is questioning her life and circumstance, and rebelling against all she views as conventional. A generic film would put her in a world of no value, and have her triumphantly escape from it to her enlightened student life in NYC. She would graduate to better freinds, she would escape her tyrannical mother. She would create a new life for herself and discard the old one, the old way of thinking. That would be a typical film.

Instead she finds the establishment at her school to be highly sympathetic, the nun finds her prank funny, she connects with her drama teacher and he shows his vulnerability to her which helps her feel normal, she reconnects with religion in NYC by going to church, she reconnects with her real freind, she realises how much she loves her mother, and she realises how much her life in Sacramento impacts her identity and how much she loves it, as the nun points out is evident in her college essay. Given a new set of circumstances, finding her self in a liberal world in NYC we get the impression she will learn to reject a lot of it, to rebel against that, and through it to realise the very nature of inherent rebellion that her intellect and teenage instincts drive her towards, she is already beginning at the end of the film to readopt her prior world which is now paradoxically a form of rebellion.

We are very concisely shown this by the film makers, what forms her identity and a very clear phase shift in thinking that very acutely portrays the thought process of an intelligent teenager. A generic film would tell you, Lady Bird shows you. A conventional film would have a good situation and a bad situation, would show maturity as a linear thing, and would not end on the cusp of it but show more of a clear endpoint. It's highly intelligent storytelling, which is subtle and nuanced in almost every character and facet.

Is this original from you? or is it from that boxletter site?

Edge of Seventeen was superior in every way

>It's okay to be white

Yeah it kind of did, but idk why exactly. There were certain parts of the film I could relate to , but most of it I couldn't. That's actually how I feel watching most coming of age pieces or even just teen films. There's just something really off-putting about them that makes me feel empty and distant when I have to revisit that part of my life.

That movie had what it is wrong with every teenager movie, elevated by the power 2.

I just wrote it and I don't post anywhere else. Just a tldr rant at all the people saying Ladybird is generic ITT. I think Call me by your Name should win the oscar but i certainly wouldn't be mad if Ladybird did. It's a very good film, probably the second best film last year, after CMBYN, that or The Square.

Lol, are you Timmy Calumet?

the main character in Edge was supposed to be insufferable. Then when she wised up, you rooted for her.

Lady Bird was portrayed as the victim (her mom treating her like shit). It is meant to pander to liberals who love being the victim

haha i wish

Don't get me wrong, ignore which site we are at, I'm not being cynical, that paragraph makes a lot of justice to Lady Bird, it's refreshing to see people here paying actual attention to the film

She was mothering her mother, all the way, she was so much more wise than everybody else except God (Harrelson), she was supposed to be that way? how convenient, but never redeemed

Not really. I'm a guy and saw it with my mom and I could tell I was missing a lot of subtleties and relatability moments because I'm not a girl. Even my mom said that I'd probably like it more if I were a woman.

I liked it, but I don't know if I really got the point? The movie was more a chronicle of this girl's last year/semester at school.

thx bro
>Lady Bird was portrayed as the victim (her mom treating her like shit). It is meant to pander to liberals who love being the victim
If anything her mother was ultimately portrayed as 'the victim', being saddled with enormous financial strain by Sesh, against her will. The two most impactful moments of the film was her Mother breaking down at the airport, and Sersh calling to say she loved her.

The film was more about the subtle ways in which you influence and are influenced by your children, It wasn't about victimhood at all. For instance when they go and visit expensive open homes together. That shows us how Sersh has developed her inferiority complex and why she pretends to be wealthy to her freinds. Her mother isn't abusing her by doing that though, she's just passing on her own insecurities, as people all do to their children.

Timmee a cute!

Also her mother is shown teaching her to shop at thrift stores, and tailoring her clothes for her. She clearly does a lot for her daughter.

Ladybird views herself as a victim, that doesn't mean the filmmaker is telling us she is one. Even Ladybird realises that she isn't, but you couldn't?

Just to play more on the side of Marion, and LB by second hand if you stretch it a bit, we must remember how Marion tells LB briefly that she had an Abusive Alcoholic mother, so considering that, LB prettty much got lucky with what she got.

*user has been gifted Reddit Gold for this submission

He has my heart if that counts

This. That was my favorite part of the movie.

I feel like Ladybird was the first coming of age movie that actually conveyed the character's disillusionment of people she held up so highly.

Yeah.
It's interesting showing a hardass mother who is abusive in some ways, but also clearly loves her daughter, does a lot for her, and is under serious personal strain (her past and financial), to justify her behaviour. Ultimately the film says 'this is a good woman' and 'ladybird will also be a good woman'.
In other stories, like Olive Kitteridge, there's a very similiar character, and her kid ends up totally fucked up for it.

I think the difference is that Marion doesn't abuse her husband at all, she models positive behaviour and gives her kids a stable household in that regard. She fucks with Ladybird because they're so similar and she thinks Ladybird can take it, or deserves it.

>Lady Bird

It's actually Christine.

>So the dick comes at me...and I just stroke it

You Promised that you'll call me LadyBird
Don't come with your shit now.

Now do your essay on CMBYN please

user pls

At the end where she says she's from san francisco gave me a serious case of goosebumps. Great great acting, writing and directing from the entire cast. Lady bird was a real human being in that 1.5 hours.

Thanks for adding to the discussion and diverging from the political shitposts and such.

She made of LadyBird a very resistant individual, she takes the deserved and sometimes undeserved shit thrown at her and embraces it and comes forward, I'd like to think that's not just genetics but learned behavior from her mother.

Autistic user here,
is chaylameh gay?

>I think the difference is that Marion doesn't abuse her husband at all, she models positive behaviour and gives her kids a stable household in that regard

There's a lot to say about LB's mom, and their relationship was definitely the strongest point of the movie, but shit... her relationship with her dad and the way she finds out he's been battling depression just hits you in the gut.
