Lol no. Movies are incapable of being smart. They can be pretentious but if a movie ever makes you think, you're probably a brainlet.

>tfw you can't find really highly intellectual and complex movies

Most of the time it is just complete ass pulls to make them seem, "smart". Like 99.999% of the "smartest man in the room" type movies. The problem is that the author can't make a character smarter than himself.

Most movies have dialog that literally tries to give you an update of events that have already happened in the movie that you have seen first hand had you actually been looking at the screen. Most of the time this takes the form of the stupid character or a character who just arrived and now needs to be retold or updated on what has happened. It is fucking annoying as shit.

So why do you all despise Mikhail Hanuke

>>83019733
>Mikhail Hanuke

Never heard of him or any of his movies. Seems they are all in genres I don't really watch. Only Funny Games, Code Unknown, Time of the Wolf, and Cache look like ones I might watch. Though, which version of Funny Games is best? I bet the 1997 one. The rest of his lineup look like stuff I couldn't stomach.

"complex" movies are usually shit

there are, however, plenty of movies that requires intelligence to fully appreciate, but not to understand

I suppose it is great if your goal is to be bored while watching a movie.

>>83020305
barry lyndon is a good example of a simple, well-executed film with a romantic and human story that plebs may not enjoy because there aren't enough twists or "deep" exposition that make them feel smart for watching it

you can tell someone is not intelligent if film is the first place they look for a challenge to prove their intelligence

>>83020457
art doesn't have to be entertaining.
go play video games or watch fast and furious

>>83020504
>>83020360
BL is deep though. Unfortunately, it is also boring. "Deep" is deep in meaning, not deep in intelligence.

Every Snyder film besides the owls film (the only one brainlets like)

I saw the list. I personally think that some were made too smart for their own good. It would've been a lot better if they took a time & gave a thought o how the audiences were going to react to their product. After all, a film needs to take in many kinds of ppl, & furthermore, it needs to have mass appeal. A filmmaker & ppl around them just can't pretend they are like sick painters or musicians that has a voice of the time cuz it costs helluvu a lot of money Y'know ???? (笑´・艸・)

Funny how Primer is always brought up in discussions like this, when it's just a prime (heh) example of exactly that. It's unnecessary complicated just for the sake of being a "hard to get" movie.

Primer was made to be "hard to get," because there was nothing to "get." It was just made to be confusing, that audience should be as disoriented as the characters.

>>83023576
I really don't understand how Shutter Island is too smart for anyone. It was a good movie, but the climax of the film explains everything very clearly; whats hard to understand?

>>83023576
if you wanna laugh some more, read the comments on the site

People didn't get Cloud Atlas?

Really?

A place beyond the pines isn't really that complex, I think it's pretty straightforward. It wasn't shilled enough so normies haven't seen it, I'm sure that with proper marketing it would be up there with all the good movies. I just happened to watch it because I have a mancrush on Gosling.

It was a very good movie, though.

no it wasn't. the entire third act was slow, lacked depth and was pretty cliche.

ummm don't think so sweetie

>>83023090

If it was a one hit wonder by some never again heard from director, I could see your point. Kubrick never had problems pacing a movie, so the slow final hour or so is entirely deliberate. The first two hours move along at a reasonable clip, until Barry eventually climbs to where he thinks he wants to be. Kubrick gave himself 3+ hours so he could drag the viewer through that final stage of his life, letting them share his sense of boredom and longing for his old adventures, rather than just rushing through the series of misfortunes that lead to his return Ireland to keep plebs interested.

>Mulholland Dr.

If you did not understand the dream/reality structure, you did not understand the film.

i enjoyed it. i even though halle berry was adequate enough and i'm no huge tom hanks fan either

but that future language was awful and that's the true true!

>>83025104
No. I was defending the film for it being deliberately confusing rather than complex, and it does not pretend to be "intellectual". You, on the other hand, accused the film of trying to belittle the audience by rahashing a supposedly "confusing" narrative, which you, being such an intelligent anon, are obviously impervious to.

Hey man, you ain't speakah tha true true. The post-apocalyptic future with Tom Hanks and company was the best part of the movie. I hated all the crap with futuristic Korea, especially when it descended into retarded action sequences.

>>83025606
how is that racist? Is Tropic Thunder racist then?

Doona Bae was made up to look white.

Missed that part, huh?

Every race could be played, potentially, by any actor. They even gender-swapped, too. And in the future, the salvation of humanity was inspired by Asians and even further in the future, white people lived as primitives and savages, whereas darker-skinned people had advanced tech and civilization.

But yeah, it was completely racist. Such a backwards film.

Douche.

>>83018034

what is there not to get

Cloud Atlas was brutally bad. It doesn't matter that it had some good ideas and good parts, it's a bad film that makes next to no sense and has multiple eye-rollingly stupid scenes. At best it's an interesting novelty.

Was Enemy a thinking man's film or was it pretentious?

>>83026768
The great thing about the ending of that film is that I didn't want to believe that he was mad and that there wasn't a conspiracy despite it being all laid out for you and explained.

You get sucked into the madness.
