that's clear, even brutalist swedish and finnish housing projects have the same aesthetics, not looking for comfines but for cold, if that makes any sense...movies that make you feel cold
Joseph Nguyen
The Pianist. Incredible film.
Lucas Cooper
God damn that looks so fuking comfy
Adrian Gomez
This brought back some memories of the Call of Duty Bloc map
good times
Nicholas Gutierrez
kleptocracy user. It's not about the people, it's about the contracts and the juicy bribes. This picture is a literal heaven on earth for any big Russian contractor.

You can play the DayZ game / mod and you'll be able to find these two exact buildings next to each other.
Jaxson Lewis
Russia at least has some space between them, and they 15-20 stories max. China takes that shit to the next level.
Ryan Walker
Don`t do it. I live in this shithole of commieblocks and I see it every day.
P.S.: I live near Moscow(25 km from it).

I always wondered how you guys manage to not kill yourselves. The weather + the city blocks are a recipe for an hero.
Also, OP, this is what you need discard any other opinion
Carter Taylor
Parts of Blade Runner 2049 have a similar aesthetic.
Juan Butler
fuck man, I'd need a shitton of hasch and vodka to even cope living with this sort of view
William Morris
I lived in a tower block before and it just sucks. The people that live there don't give a fuck, there is high crime, police often will not even enter the blocks unless they have riot squad accompanying them. Filled with drugs and disgusting to be in, nothing is maintained. Lift breaks and you have to walk up 15 flights of stairs. No view, because all you can see are other tower blocks next to yours.
Happiest day of my life when my family could move out of it.
Luke Davis
Similarity, depression, overpopulation.
Because of overpopulation lack of:
- car parkings
- schools
- hospitals
- parks

that's actually pretty aesthetic
Owen Bennett
there's so much wrong it's hard to list them. is completely right. Add sandniggers like say in French or Belgian suburbs and it becomes an absolute colossal dehumanizing shithole.

Why is it that whenever these shitblocks spring up, they turn into a hive of criminality and shitheels. Even in canada, these apartment complexes eventually end up as public housing and the government just shunts in all the lowlifes in there.
Benjamin Wilson
The practical problems other anons mentioned are legit. But, the root cause for all of the shittiness, is that it's designed with the intention to dehumanize/de-individualize and make you feel like a cog.
I understand that the original idea is not bad and i support it (e.g. uniforms in schools) but they took it to extreme and twisted it from its noble origin (utilitarianism, common good, practicality, focus on the essential)
Dominic White
Even fucking Italy has commie blocks

I love this aesthetic too but it leads to fucking bleak films
Colton Hill
No one wants to live there if they can afford to, so lower income people/immigrants rent there and most kids grow up to be criminals since there parents are out most of the day or are simply bad parents and they spend the day with other bad kids which reinforced bad behavior.
You can see it everywhere where lower income people take over those blocks, be it niggers in north america or immigrants in europe.

in the 40s-60s (in the US, at least), this was thought to be the golden solution for housing poor populations and making cities more livable (look at all that GREEN SPACE). When suburbanization hit and all the people with the means to fuck off from cities did so, it made this huge positive feedback loop where these projects turned into the trainwreck we all know they are now.
They were built cheaply and inhabited by poor people. Then all the jobs went elsewhere with the upper and middle class. So the poor people in the shitty buildings had no opportunity to not lead poor, shitty lives. At the same time, GM was working to destroy public transit, the only thing that would allow poor people to get to where jobs are. These people couldn't afford cars. All the tax funds went away with the upper and middle class people, so there was no money to repair things, no money for police forces or schools or community services. The poor people increasingly went towards doing and selling drugs because what the fuck else could they do? Continue this on and on and that's urban blight.
My city at least had the goddamn common courtesy to blow these buildings up and try to house people in actual neighborhoods.
Dominic Wilson
La Haine is a movie that you absolutely should add to your list OP
Josiah Edwards
corruption of building companys
Benjamin Martin
very nice input, now where is the fucking movie, nobody cares about your life and or city
Michael Green
>where is the fucking movie
nigga do you not know how to find a movie on the internet?
Gavin Harris
Dekalog springs to mind. I also watched Cargo 200 recently which, while not really featuring Blocs, is some of the grimmest Russian shit I have ever seen.
Gomorra is a pretty good example of this
Henry Morris
90's KINO right there
Jaxon Fisher
yes I do, I currently doing it, you see this is supposed to be a place where people can exchange ideas, opinions or whatever the fuck regarding movies, I cannot emphasize enough how unimportant is your life story or your opinions in this thread
Zachary Davis
The Pruitt-Igoe projects (shown being imploded in user's pic) was designed by architect Minoru Yamasaki, same architect as the World Trade Center. I'd like to see someone work that into a movie.
Sebastian Hernandez
would rather live in a commie block then the ticky tacky housing developments I see off of the highway
Landon Hernandez
>they turn into a hive of criminality and shitheels.
Build a massive housing complex.
Stick thousands people in it that have no money, or low paying jobs.
Stick multiple different ethnicities into it that constantly clash.
Never police it.
Never pay any attention to it at all actually.
Wait 20 years.
Oh my god, why are these housing blocks full of crime and drugs. Let's knock it down, and build new condos instead
What about the people there now? We'll send them to another city that has different color housing blocks.
Brandon Clark
true. Hey, he did a good job with our airport at least. Looks pretty slick. Although a tornado went right through it a few years ago...
Elijah Roberts
That's clearly a hotel.

Jayden Powell
That Scampia complex in Gomorra is fucking insane. To think it used to be double the size, I have no idea what they thought would happen. I remember when I went to Naples, and was shocked that it really was a fucking shithole.
Lucas Howard
only thing I can think of that's so depressing is Silent Hill 2.
Jordan Jones
can't thing of a film, but this band captures the feeling of those pictures.
Nathaniel Fisher
Having lived near commieblocks like that while growing up I can tell you that its an obvious attempt to demoralize people and break their spirit.
Living in commieblocks kills your soul, people are not made to live in giant battery farms.
Just tear those crime magnets down.
Levi Edwards
the whole of naples is a shithole, I had to ferry my ass out to sicilia one day to visit some towns and pay my respects for a decesead friend and the camorra was charging me with a free pass fee, go figure
Austin Williams

Ian Thompson
looks like cock and balls innit?
Alexander King
That's a great show. The 'location is a character' idea really applies. Also, a crime series with almost no police is really refreshing. It really ramps up the isolated feel of the place despite it being part of a major city. I also like how everyone from the low level guys to the Don live there, and the only distinction is how 'nicely' their shithole is decorated.

That is the thing, they obviously house poor folk.
Care to build enough houses/proper townhouses for those poor people? Of course not lol.
They do deserve to get torn down though, relics of the Soviet Union.

That pic is Hong Kong though. Answering your question: communistic regimes hate their own people and don't even consider them human.
Jacob Richardson
Memes aside, what happened to Russia to make its culture so cold and brutal and borderline suicidal? Did Operation Barbarossa followed by decades of communism break them or does it go back to the Mongols?

I had to stay there a couple weeks ago, it was attached to a half demolished block
