>>79606907
simpleton

Maybe you should just stick to watching Zach Snyder movies.

>>79607120
I've only seen Watchmen and 300 the latter was shit. Plus he's a manlet.

>>79606907

>>79606907

holy shit you people just can't enjoy anything anymore.

>>79607382
What is there to enjoy while watching this movie?

>>79606907
Study in grief. I went in skeptical but it won me over.

>>79607151
I think you mean the former

>>79607417
it's beautiful

>>79607310
and people who pretend it's not sad...provoke others online with bait threads? which side do you think is dealing with their emotions more effectively?

>>79607417
how a movie can touch hard and painful subjects without over dramatizing them, with humanity and humor

>>79607208
sorry to hear that. my mom died two years ago between thanksgiving and christmas. it sucks.

>>79607532
It didn't touch me at all, The Iron Giant was more touching than this.

>>79606907
>watch the movie
>feels like three hours past
>check time

Holy shit do you idiots just talk in fucking memes?

>>79607208
Merry Christmas ya filthy animal

>>79606907
Yeah, it's complete shit and Casey Affleck can't act, I don't get it either. Only saving grace are the visuals and Lucas Hedges.

>>79607742
holy fuck what an amazing and accurate response, thank you.

>>79607742
See, you never grew past cartoons.

literally no one defending this film in this thread made any argument other than "3deep5u" lmao

>hey, i need a ride theyah
>can i get a ride heeyah
>pick me up afta suppah

This goes on for 2 hours and 15 minutes

>>79606907
i thought it was good.

cried a few times.

i thought it was shot beautifully. i found it interesting how they put in all those awkward moments to make it feel more real. i also enjoyed the sound track. very well done.

i thought the teenage son did the best job acting. affleck was ok i guess, but his wife was not a very good choice imo.

>>79611200
those are some bad opinions

>>79607287
dishonest shitposting

>>79610987
tell me what is wrong with the movie and I will defend it, I think it's a solid 9/10 and the only problem it has is with the editing because it cuts too much

>>79611389
Ben Affleck's brother is a terrible actor and the movie goes nowhere. Lee is a sad mopey fuck that refuses to move to Manchester and take care of his nephew in the beginning and Lee is a sad mopey fuck that refuses to move to Manchester and take care of his nephew in the end. Lee never admitted that he couldn't handle it and Patrick never admitted that he missed and wanted his uncle back. It was a completely unsatisfactory conclusion. Yeah, it was realistic, but who the fuck watches a movie for realism? It probably works better on stage.

>that scene where he hangs out with the kids mom and she complains about his awkwardness and inability to make small talk

>>79606907
Casey Affleck had a sick performance as a broken family man from Boston

>>79612180
>we know that feel

>>79606907
Holy shit OP I just saw this movie. ARE you ME!!!!!!

>>79607171
But that's not even what the movie was about. Joe's death was just the catalyst, the movie was about depression and Lee had been suffering from depression long before his brother's death.

>without over dramatizing them
The entire fucking movie was a melodramatic soppy piece of shit.

>>79611886
Theres a scene near the end where Lee explains that he can't beat his grief, after being asked by his nephew why he can't stay?

>>79612549
that scene never happened.

>>79607287
>le capeshit oscar bait film school buff meme crowd
Literally what did he mean by this?

>>79612844
yes it did...

>>79611886
Did you even see the movie? Lee did acknowledge that he couldn't take care of Patrick and let that other couple take him in . Sure he stayed a sad angry fuck but that's the point of the story, that his depression was never going to go away that easily.

>>79612844
Oh. I think your problem seems to be you didn't watch the movie.

>>79612844
He literally fucking says "I can't beat it"

>>79612914
>>79612916
>>79612972
Even if it did happen (which it didn't), it's still a bad movie.

>>79606907
-spoilers:
>like 5 people die
>house burns down
>Dude attempts suicide
Interesting stuff happens, its just why does it happen?

his apartment reminded me of my own and I instantly got depressed

>>79611886
>the movie goes nowhere

kind of the point, his grief and guilt wasn't going anywhere. its about the intransigence of grief and flies in the face of the normal narrative that people can recover from such traumas over time.

>>79606907

>he labels the movie as something with autistic features
>he can't decipher the emotional framework and context presented by the movie

just stick to your BvS

>>79613117
I think the movie is shit, but it definitely happened. It was the scene where he runs into Michelle Williams on the street towards the end.

>/tv/ can't appreciate a slice of life film
>"WHAT WAS THE MEANING?"
>"HURR EDGY XD"
>"DUDE TEEN SEX"
It's like none of you understand emotion or that sometimes things go largely unresolved in life. Although I guess a movie about tragedy and rebuilding would be a foreign concept to you fucking nerds since your whole life has just been a tragedy.

>>79613327
>slice of life
>>>/a/

>>79606907
You can tell when someone is plebeian when they're using a pointless plot argument in an obvious character piece

>>79613327
slice of life can be observational or analytical, and this is the former. Stuff happens, we're not going to explore why it happens, but it does

>>79613265
>It was the scene where he runs into Michelle Williams on the street towards the end.
that doesn't fucking count.

I meant they never admit to each other. He never offers any real explanation to Patrick. Lee Chandler barely came off as a character, and I can't tell if that was because of Affleck's shit acting or the script, but I'm going to assume Affleck. Lee had a backstory but no real discernible traits besides disliking small talk.

>>79613327
>sometimes things go largely unresolved in life.
A movie is not real life.
>a movie about tragedy and rebuilding
there was no rebuilding in the movie.

Movies about emotions or emotional people are fine, but Manchester by the Sea is not Evangelion, the execution was boring.

>>79607831
now imagine living your whole life like that
welcome to Lee's world

>>79613402
>I can't beat it
This is an admission that he can't handle it

>>79613599
BUT DID HE SAY IT TO FUCKING PATRICK
NO? THEN SHUT THE FUCK UP

>>79606907
>literally movie is about nothing and nothing interesting happens.

completely agree. The only reason I finished it is because I'd already been watching it for 10000 minutes.

I felt like you're literally waiting for something to happen and nothing happens. I wasn't more upset over a movie since Boyhood. Complete waste of time.

>>79613620
Patrick doesn't give a shit. He got what he wanted in the end. He doesn't have to move, he gets to keep is boat and hoes. He even says he has no intentions of visiting Lee in Boston. Fuck him

>>79611128
this.

on top of the movie being so boring that I too wish I had died in a fire they had to make it where the most horrible accent in the world takes place

>>79613506
>but Manchester by the Sea is not Evangelion

did you just compare a realist movie with a cartoon?

i hope you're trolling

>ITT people incapable of empathy

>>79614390
How could they make such an important scene unmemorable

>>79614521
>people incapable of empathy
like Casey Affleck?

>>79614611
i remembered it. also i love how this film doesn't have a cut 50 times per 'scene'. why aren't more modern films like this?

>>79614611
I think the fact that it was so understated is why the scene is so powerful.

I know how it feels to open up to others about things you can barely face by yourself and it isn't some big emotional moment for depressed, closed-off people. You try to mumble your way through it and get out of the conversation as quickly as possible. If he had broken down and started crying it wouldn't have been as powerful for me

>>79614924
Because there are only a handful of good directors in America that understand the whole "less is more" principle of filmmaking imo. Those that do aren't fairly popular for the most part

>>79614924
Blame the French New Wave.

>>79611886

Anon, you should go see a psychologist, I think you might be on the spectrum.
