Is David Mamet the only good conservative filmmaker (as well

>>81358585
No, check out Sokurov and Bogdanovich.

I think Werner Herzog is a far-right conservative who just likes playing devil's advocate.

>playwright

well only libcucks would write faggy plays in the first place

>>81358585
how can you say hes conservative when most of his work was done when he wasnt one??

this is a man who discovered conservatism and then went on to write Redbelt

what's the name of that hairline

>>81358738
>Redbelt
I never heard of this but it looks fucking cool.

>>81358778
His earlier works were very good in comparison

>>81358738
>implying one of his most acclaimed plays, Oleanna, written in 1992, isn't red-pilled as fuck

He's not much of a conservative, he thinks he has all the answers just because he discovered babby's first conservatism

Glengarry Glen Ross is my favorite film. What are other essential Mamet films?

>>81358878
All of them

>>81358824
as far as googling can produce, he was not a conservatism until as recently as 2008 before he came out in his piece for the village voice. Also this is a film and tv board not /lit/.

Fuck you, this threads for closers

>>81358926
>hasn't seen or even read Oleanna
>relies on Google's first page of search results which are determined by the number of other sites which link to those pages to provide him with truth

>>81358878
as writer-director:
House of Games
Homicide
Oleanna
The Spanish Prisoner
State and Main
Heist
Spartan

as writer only:
The Verdict
The Untouchables
Wag the Dog (co-writer)
Ronin (under a pseudonym)
Edmond

>>81359047
Oh. I've seen all of those and only like Glengarry Glen Ross. Guess Mamet is shit after all.

Sorry for bothering you.

>>81359021
yes I use google, the best search engine available unless you have another great option for searching the internet

maybe i will also use wikipedia

and there isnt much connection between oleanna and conservatism as far as i can tell

>>81358585
Too bad he was a Democrat when he did all of his good works.

>>81359118
maybe you should also use your brain

>>81359142
you talk like someone who neither understands the internet or david mamet

>>81358824
but aren't you supposed to sorta sympathize with the girl in the first half of the film? if anything, it's mostly about power dynamics and its abuses, inherent selfishness, and the gulf that hinders communication between those with power and those without (though i'm sure the depiction of the disingenuous nature of the PC crusade, as way only to seize social and cultural power and not a tool of justice, is certainly intentional, its secondary)

>>81359169
I got an A- in Internetworking and TCP/IP and also directed five Mamet plays. What are your credentials for internet understanding and mamet understanding?

>>81359075
>he didn't like House of Games
that was a fun movie

>>81359240
do you also setup the modem at david mamets house?

>>81359313
do you honestly believe that one needs to personally know david mamet to direct a play of his? holy shit have you ever even stepped foot in a theater?

I am embarrassed for you right now.

>>81359362
>theater
it's "theatre"

have you ever stepped into one?

he looks like Manuel fereiras twin brother what the fuck

Fuck anyone who is anti-Israel.

Good goy

>>81359382
no, dumbass

>"theater" is the building where they present "theatre"

now go read a book

Mamet is a god tier filmmaker

happy for this thread

check out Homicide

>>81358824
Exactly.

>>81358926
To me, he was an obvious conservative for years before that, just didn't want to take the risk and make the break. I remember reading a New Yorker profile of him and being 90% sure he was a conservative deceiving himself or keeping quiet about it, and that's when I was far-left.

>>81358824
Same thing with Speed the Plow. Looks like it might go all feminist then it swerves back into guys being guys.

>>81359212
No, you're never meant to sympathize with the girl. The girl is a monster.

>>81358585
>good conservative filmmaker
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>81359949
She's not a monster, she's a stupid cunt who's being taken advantage of by her "group"
