ITT: Movies that try way too hard to be deep and but just ends up looking fucking dumb
Alty teenshit like fukin Donnie Darkko:
"Waaa adults don't understand us, waaa"
Angsty douchebag misunderstood teenager gets the hot girl and saves all of fucking existence, then decides to die because of "Muh teen problems"
Just pretentious scene after pretentious scene, and a stain on Jake Gyllenhaal's career.
"See this adult that doesn't understand us kids? Yeah, he's a fucking PEDOFILE"
Also Magnolia. Sure the technical aspects are really good eg. directing, acting, score, overall atmosphere. But such a shallow film once you realize that it's basically just: "Muh white ppl problems" and everything is just sappy and overly sentimental drivel, like with that little fuckboy on the gameshow crying about how his dad is mean to him, awww.
Then lots of things just start coming off as pretentious, like the zoom in on the painting saying "But it did happen"
Don't know how else to convey the information of what happened to her? Just zoom in on a fucking random painting where text blatantly tells you.
