Nice post, however, how about you check my digits?

NWR is a pretentious hack who's so far up his ass his feet should be coming out of his nostrils. His films are all style, no substance, and anybody claiming there's a deeper meaning to his films is a useful idiot hipster.

>>82653116

Nope. This film was nothing more than a directors personal fapfest. Nothing deep about it.

>>82653116
This film is the ultimate pleb filter, it's brilliant

No wonder you also missed the commentary on vanity and envy. Yes it's very stylish, and yes it was made as disturbing as possible on purpose, with many people walking out on it. But it has substance.
>>82653365
ikr, it's also beautifully shot
now, OGF was trash

I know you're baiting so this is my last reply but the film had absolutely no substance and the only people who liked Neon Demons are other pretentious idiots trying to appear smarter than they are.

It's fucking shit.
Nothing happens til the end.
Only good part is the random Keanu Reeves.

>DUDE BLUE AND PINK LIGHTS

Fuck off, it's complete garbage.
If anyone says they like this dreck I know who's a pleb.

>>82653435

There was no commentary to miss. Stylish, disturbing? Hardly. It was garish and barely watchable. The entire thing just wreaked of "This is a great excuse to get these cute girls to act out fantasies that would otherwise land me in jail!". There is nothing provocative about it, there was no substance, and there was barely any acting at all.

The entire movie is a complete joke, just like the people that like to point out how deep and meaningful it all is.

This film convinced me that someone could make a film of someone literally taking a shit for 2 hours on repeat and the hipsters of /tv/ will still lap it up and defend it so they have something to feel superior to.

Seriously, watch the pusher trilogy before you make any Refn threads

>>82653639
It's been a long time since I saw the Pusher movies but I don't remember it heavily emphasizing style like Neon Demon does.

The plot was a vehicle for the visuals. The innocence and brilliance of youthful perception. A love letter to our world and what is in it.

Fear X is just Refn trying to imitate Lynch.

>>82653116
ur right, 10/10 movie

his most stylish though? I'd say it's about the same as Drive and OGF

Judging by your other posts you're an absolute idiot with terrible taste.

maybe go back to watching Rick and Reddit

>There was no commentary to miss.
It went over your head and you're a total pleb. NWR is too sophisticated for you.
>Stylish
It was, brilliant composition and palette in each frame. Aesthetically pleasing to no end, it was almost like watching a photoplay.
>disturbing
If the notion of child abuse doesn't disturb you then you're fucked in the head. It's not as disturbing as some 70s Italian cinema but it's as close as it gets in the modern era.
>The entire thing just wreaked of "This is a great excuse to get these cute girls to act out fantasies that would otherwise land me in jail!".
That's retarded. Specially if you take into account that he partly made it as a warning about narcissism for his 13 y/o girl.
>There is nothing provocative about it, there was no substance, and there was barely any acting at all.
There's a lot, it shines light into some dark realities of the fashion industry. Maybe you're not aware of this but it's common for underage models to be made to pose nude with no forewarning, among other things.
>The entire movie is a complete joke, just like the people that like to point out how deep and meaningful it all is.
The only joke here is your pretentiousness. You think you're so smart and the movie went over your head.

havent seen neon demon, but i saw drive and ogf. loved drive, one of my favorites, could barely sit through ogf's nonsense and smugness.

how would you rate it relating to these two? is it worth watching?

>>82655377
I can't watch Better Call Saul because I can't afford cable, but I want to watch it.

Drive > OGF > TND

I like all three, TND is extremely similar to OGF from the soundtrack to there being one particularly disturbing scene to the neon lighting. If you didnt like OGF Im not sure TND will do anything for you.

>>82655398
>what is torrent
>>82655382
I hated OGF, loved Drive. Neon Demon is a lot better than Drive but it's a lot more subtle and features more commentary on human flaws in the subtext. It's no caper, the disturbing stuff is mostly sexual.

>>82653116

Meant to say a lot better than OGF

All About Eve (1950) did it better.

Truth.

>>82655382
Neon Demon is a lot closer to OGF than Drive, there are a lot more shots done for the purpose of aesthetic than storytelling.

But there's a story to tell, unlike OGF that went nowhere. I believe that often the journey is more interesting than the destination, but OGF felt like being parked.

>>82653116
>his most stylish film.
Thats still Bronson.

>>82656133
Well, I didn't say there wasn't a story, but I just felt like a lot of the shots, especially towards the end of the film, weren't done to progress the story.

>>82656018
>>82656133
are the violent scenes down for purpose (like drive) or for jerkin it (like ofg)

females are absolute trash: the movie

>>82656156
My OP was paraphrasing over accuracy. Do you like Huey Lewis and the News?
That said, I should probably watch Bronson, I forgot about it.
>>82656181
That's true. Sometimes it felt even a bit showy.
>>82656202
Mostly for purpose. There's a lot less violence though. It's quite dreamy and surreal.
>>82656253
kek

>>82656202
The only real intense violence I remember is at the end of the film, I would definitely say they were purposeful, but the length of it makes it sort of jerkin it.
Just watch the damn movie.

It's a movie about envy, pride, lust and wrath.

Wow, really deep

Did anyone else think Abbey Lee's and Elle Fanning's roles were inverted? I found it distracting that Elle was supposed to be this otherworldly beauty when Abbey is a lot sexier. I mean, if you pick Elle over Abbey you have shit taste.
