Altman.
Good luck raising your cinema IQ. It's a great journey, one you can only take yourself.
Altman
I like TWBB
Altman, Scorsese, Demme.
I'm not a huge fan of PTA in general but Inherent Vice is a masterpiece.
If I like (early) Kevin Smith movies, what other director should I check out? Movies about real people, small contained stories, etc.
David Fincher, Fight Club specifically
>>82189560
all the directors he has ripped off, probably
>>82189560
You'd like Billy Wilder. And I know it's a boring choice, but There Will Be Blood is his best film so far
Altman
Huston
Ford
Ophuls

And all the directors THEY "ripped off," too, and all the older directors those directors ripped off, etc etc

Truly the Reddit choice

I bet you didn't like The Master, faggot
>>82189560
There Will Be Blood. All his others just kinda go over my head and I am always left feeling a little dumb because I "didn't get it".
>>82192484
>all his others
Maybe The Master and Inherent Vice, but I don't see how you can miss the point of all his other movies. Other than thoes two, they're very direct
>>82192842
yeah those. I exaggerated.
Anyone not replying The Master feel free to go back to r*ddit anytime

I thought the acting was 10/10 but what the fuck was point of that movie?
>>82189560
I wonder if Philip Seymour Hoffman's death is the reason why he hasn't been active lately.
He really liked using him in his movies.
Punch Drunk Love

Inherent Vice came out on a few years ago...the fuck are you talking about?
>>82194581
Freud. The id, ego, and supereo.
>>82189631
as someone who likes inherent vice, how the fuck is it a masterpiece?
>>82189560
Lol Magnolia might be his worst work
>>82195483
Lies
>>82189560
His three biggest influences are Jonathan Demme, Robert Altman and Martin Scorsese.
>>82189606
I've only seen MASH and The Long Goodbye. I watched the latter twice, back to back. He was a genius director. I really need to check his other films out.
>>82195453
I'd like to know, as well. I love PTA's films, but I did not enjoy Inherent Vice. It has some interesting scenes, but I just could not get into the plot or the characters.
