REDDIT WAY OF WATCHING FILMS

>caring about plotholes, inconsistencies, logic in the film
>thinking that twists are important
>thinking that when a film does not conform to the standard editing, directing, acting, formula that it is "bad"
>categorizing what you see on screen, like this was all a dream, this really happened, it was purgatory all along

PATRICIAN WAY OF WATCHING FILM
>accepting what's happening on screen just as what it is

You can see right in his eyes theres a complete disconnect with everything...he always has the same expression in every pic i seen of him.
irl i meet a faggot just like him when i was i kid, i assume he has killed someone by now.
>>
>>84741496
A true patrician can learn everything he needs to about a film from the poster and wikipedia page. Watching films is for brainlets.
>>
>>84741496
I actually agree funnily enough. My motto is

>you enjoy the film
>it was a good movie to you
>you didn't enjoy it
>it wasn't a good film to you

I'm tired of this "objectively these are the best films around"

This. I remember when I used to adhere to what the general public dictated as the objectively best films. Always felt conflicted.
>>
>>84741496
OP is written like bait, but I agree. "This movie has a plothole, therefore it's bad" has always seemed an extremely stupid argument to me.
>>
>>84741496
I agree with you, but it's alright if plotholes bother you. If there are plotholes in the movie then it's the writer's fault for breaking your submersion. But it is kinda plebby to go all autist about them. A lot of "redditors" will start just pointing out things that are convenient for the characters in movies. Things workin out or being convenient for the characters aren't usually flaws.

>>84741648

If you judge bvs or man of steel by either of these standards they still stuck

HOW TO SPOT A PLEB 101

>only able to discuss literal plot points and the logical order of the narrative of a film
>every film has a singular universal "deep meaning" which you have to "get" to understand it
>"The writing is the most important filmmaking element!"
>thinks that empty pretty pictures means "good cinematography"
>"I don't find this part of the narrative plausible or realistic, therefore the movie is SHIT!"
>treating a film like a puzzle which you have to put together in a certain kind of way to get it
>a film is either utter dogshit or a masterpiece, there is no inbetween
>"Who cares about editing, framing and composition sound and whatnot if the story isn't great."
>considers heavy use of direct symbolism as a positive factor
>using "boring" and "nothing happens" as arguments ever
>>
>>84741496
It depends on the movie. If a movie is built around plot and twists and those fail, then it's a shitty movie. There isn't a right formula to appreciate a movie, because movies can be very different.
>>
>>84741648
>being tired at 2am

>>84742762
This is actually a good post. The last point is especially true. They end up arguing that there was no plot, even there clearly was a plot.

Can you name a single movie that normies actually DO understand? Protip: I don't think you can.

Have you ever tried watching a movie with a normie? I don't know if it's hormonal or something, but their minds are literally unable to focus on anything.

Have you ever known a normie that had a deep and varied appreciation for any art? Digging around obscure music genres or old filmographies, just for the sake of it and love of the medium, not for potential social status and superficial validation?

When a cinephile watches a movie, he reflects on the themes and subtext, deconstruct the mise en scène and cinematography in order to analyze how the director's choices affect the mood and characters arcs, question the ethos it proposes about its subject matters, judge its authenticity, come up with a list of intertextual references that deepen his understanding, examine the narrative structure as if he were in the writer's head to get his creative process and where he's headed, all this while sensorially appreciating the aesthetics, marveling at the layers in dialogues and noticing many odd details, pondering how this film overall fits into its auteur's oeuvre, observing what it does similarly and what it does differently... as well as its place in film history, among many other active ways of studying and appreciating art... meanwhile normies can barely follow the plot.

Script heavy means are the definitive way of making films for idiots. They are 100% incapable of understanding any idea that isn't explicitly explained to them. Plebeians are heavily frustrated by lack of explanataion; abstraction and absurdity is notably bane to them. The pleb notices special effects more than rhythm, color palette, and the visually contoured patterns of a scene.

And people fall into those traps because filmmakers play into them.
Chris Nolan has to make his "puzzle" films because of his autistic brother's scripts. Tarantino drops those epic references for "film buffs". The clueless make films for morons.
