I'll give the movie even more credit with that not even being the case. Jeffrey Wright is black and was not honourable in the film.

The fourth and final season drops on Friday and I've been looking forward to is for awhile. Man, I saw your post and thought Ozark was out today, CANNOT FREAKEN WAIT. Easily my favourite series along with Better Call Saul at the moment. There isn't a thread though, you can make one. Buzzetta 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@therealsilvermane Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 On 1/19/2022 at 2:19 PM, kav said: Movies are like a rorschach test for you-you see stuff in em and believe it was intentional for the reasons you see. Claim you know other's intentions and stuff like christopher nolan's pitch meetings and the eternal director's reading habits. This could be why you enjoy movies that are frankly weak scriptwise. Strong scripts like no way home you seem to not like because there's no room to add your own reality to them. I see these things in part because I'm a student of film and I actually read about directors I admire, like Ang Lee. James Schamus, Ang's producer on many of his films, has stated that the point of almost every Ang Lee film was the idea of freedom from repression. In Brokeback Mountain, two cowboys find that freedom from societal norms on top of a mountain away from society. In Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, a Chinese woman finds freedom from the repression of Chinese women through the Green Destiny sword. In Hulk, both Bruce and David Banner find freedom from the repression of the human shell through a Hulk. Lee and the effects artists have themselves talked about the visual imagery in Hulk and about those strange seemingly random shots of jellyfish and mushroom clouds that resemble each other visually. In the end, David Banner turns into a giant Jellyfish over Pear Lake before he and Bruce are both taken out by a giant mushroom cloud. The metaphors are obvious to anyone with a brain. It's not a Rorschach test. It's actually there. As I said, Ang Lee's Hulk is an unsung masterpiece of super-hero cinema. At this point, it's an irrelevant movie anyway so I don't mind being the only person in the room smart enough to see that. I also didn't say I didn't like No Way Home. I'm an MCU fan so I freakin' love that movie. I just said it's not winning any real awards. It's the ultimate example of a fan service movie. You don't get awards for that except from MTV.

There you go again. Sorry but the metaphors are not there. What you see is not what others see, and you have a habit of assigning things to directors you have never met, based on nothing, as well as assigning metaphors out of the blue. For a student of film though, I cant see how you think screenplay books are 'stupid', as you have stated. theCapraAegagrus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
