the all time goat assblaster of plebs

I like how it's utterly undisputed fact that most filmmakers that made movies from threads like this would regret or cringe at pretentious and inconceivable elements that they made earlier in their careers yet shitposters defends it for the sake of looking patrician.

I'm sure the Coens really regret how NCFOM turned out

fuck this meme is becoming a buzzword now. Stop using it inappropriately. A "pleb filter" is a scene that happens early in the film or series that will make a normalfag stop watching. A whole movie can't be a filter. What is it filtering to? fucking redditors ruining words again like always.

>>83947825
It's also used to describe something that is generally disliked by most plebs, so asking about it is a good way to determine their taste.

>>83947642

>>83947130

You don't understand this thread, do you?

>>83949519
That's why it's a pleb filter. It's a great movie, but plebs will NEVER EVER get it

>>83949739
Whoops, thought you were implying plebs like these films.

>>83948434
plebs don't understand it, they only see the action

>>83947825
A plebfilter is also a movie that is accessible but that some people dislike, outing them as a pleb. Generally highly rated movies that have some quality that a movie pleb wont like.

NCFOM, 2001: A Space Oddysey and There Will Be Blood are good examples.

Personally, Synecdoche, New York is my pleb filter. If someone doesnt appreciate it or a movie that is easier to watch, then they are a pleb imo.

>>83947192
This it was pure kino but not pleb compatible

>>83947192
>>83950281
These guys know what's up.

Breaking Bad vs. Better Call Saul.
Plebs prefer Breaking Bad.

>>83950102
Synecdoche is not *that* accesible, tho. This coming from a great fan of that movie.

>>83950281
>>83947192
>>83950406
it was a reverse pleb filter. bravo, youve outed yourself

>>83950495
Every fucking pleb was railing against it when it was airing. Every capeshit-loving critic was trashing it.

>>83950495
t. pleb in denial

The secret to keeping the plebs preoccupied is giving them super hero of fantasy/sci fi to chew on. Us Patricians turn to widely acclaimed films like Sight & Sound's list. We even went a step further and got the plebs into the mindset not to watch these great movies with the introduction of the term "avant-teen".

it was pretty decent, but not a pleb filter. plebs and patricians alike didnt like it. pleb filters have to be things that plebs dont like because they dont get them, not because they happen to not like them

What pretentious and inconceivable elements of NCFOM are you referring to?

>>83951279
Chigurh getting away

>>83951219
No one makes up autistic headcanon for No Country For Old Men though. The authorial intent is pretty fucking obvious to anyone with half a brain.

>>83949719
this is great. i wish the new season could have been more like the film. the noirish soundtrack and the visuals were fantastic, the new season has none of that.
the new season doesn't have anything that comes close to the genius of the pink room scene

none of the pseudo-patricians on here will admit it but lynch lost it...

What exactly is pretentious and inconceivable about that? It's totally in line with the central themes.

>>83951787
I don't read pretentious shit. I read what is actually relevant to us right now. Game of Thrones being one. The Dune trilogy being another.

>>83951763
False, the Judge is clearly either supernatural or a figment of the Kid's mind and is the embodiment of evil. Which is completely fine.

Chigurh is never portrayed as either of those. Representing something like Chigurh is not the same as literally being something like the Judge.

Unlikely events aren't illogical. You're retarded.

>>83951841
Being able to escape and that was supernatural though so I don't see the difference. They were both characters with plot armor in order to drive some kind of message.

>>83951919
It is not logical for someone who did everything Chigurh did to escape the law completely.

Give one real world example of someone completely escaping law enforcement after a rampage comparable to Chigurh's.

In 1980's Texas it's plausible
>completely escaping law enforcement
What gave you that idea? Are you implying the police stopped pursuing him as soon as the movie ended?

>>83950535
I hated everything about this guy. I'm glad he ended the way he did.

>>83952057
>completely escaping law enforcement
That's not what supernatural means
>You clearly don't think it was realistic either.
I don't think it has to be

>>83951972
Nothing Chigurh did throughout the movie was supernatural or beyond belief. However Chigurh completely escaping after the events of the movie is beyond belief and not in line with the rest of the admirably realistic film.

>>83952137
So you're assuming he got away completely after the movie ended? Why are you assuming that?

>>83950797
I'm currently watching TP. Yesterday I watched this episode. That milf doesn't seem obnoxious at all compared to Nadine.

>>83952104
>What gave you that idea? Are you implying the police stopped pursuing him as soon as the movie ended?
It is never once implied nor is it anyone's interpretation of the film that Chigurh was apprehended later on. The whole point of the ending is that he gets away scot free.

>>83952206
>It is never once implied nor is it anyone's interpretation of the film that Chigurh was apprehended later on
It's never implied that he gets away scot free either
>The whole point of the ending is that he gets away scot free.
The ending is about Ed Tom, as is most of the movie

>>83947130
The first half of Stalker

>>83952203
She is part of a James subplot. I personally thought it was the worst part of the series but if you can enjoy it good for you. It felt way too soap opera'y and James as a character doesn't really appeal to to many people here.

Yes it is. The car crash is to fake out the audience and only makes sense thematically if he escapes afterwards.
>The ending is about Ed Tom, as is most of the movie
And how he's beaten. He loses. He doesn't catch Chigurh. He can't hold back the dark and cold.

>>83952418
Not liking Tarkovsky is a big flashing light that you're trying too hard.

He isn't about antagonists reaching justice in the end. It could happen and is up to the reader/viewer in most cases to use their imagination but its just kind of irrelevant to the part of the story that was told.

Ultimate pleb filter coming through.

Not because its the ultimate 'patrician' film or anything, but because all it asks from the viewer is that they PAY ATTENTION. The film doesnt have obtuse imagery or strange/loose themes. It just has a very layered and intricate story that needs to be followed like a thread through a needle at all times.

>>83952481
Understanding a movie doesn't make it flawless. In my opinion Chigurh escaping breaks immersion and doesn't fit with the gritty, realistic, harsh tone of the rest of the movie.

I understand what "MARTHA" represents, but it doesn't mean it wasn't a poor way to represent it.

the judge is cormac's version of satan. it's basically spelled out in the scene where he makes gunpowder for Glanton and his gang on top of the volcano. Satan in the poem Paradise Lost tells his minions about the earth having everything they need to wage war against God and the judge says something similar when he gives a speech to Glanton's gang.
