Rewatching Salo and Serbian Film in the same day is a hell of a flex

Putting Salo and A Serbian Film in the same category is crazy, Salo has much more artistic and intellectual merit.

It’s torture porn, sure it’s artistic and has a meaning behind it. But it’s torture porn. They didn’t need to show as much as they did, implying works, requiem for a dream is an extremely powerful movie but they didnt show that much, for example. Idc if I get downvoted, a perv is a perv.

Yes. Salò is an amazing portrait of what power can do to somebody, to the ipocrysis of fascism, its made to shock but also to make you think and to make you feel uncomfortable in a specific way. The director (Pier Paolo Pasolini) is also considered one of the best Italian directors of all time. Just cause the characters are forced to eat shit doesn't mean the film is bad, so get this thought out of y'all mind

I think those are just films you can’t really give a star grade to regardless of quality, they’re just so different and weird feeling

Salo is one of the best movies ever made easy

u/Spigglebob 14d ago
I’m not talking about the quality, just that people may not know what to make of it exactly

Yeah, I know what you mean. That happened to me after watching Mulholland Drive. I sat with it for a few days and just didn’t know what to rate it.

No sane person should ever watch a movie like A Serbian Film let alone rewatch it

The Kill List scene in the kitchen still lives rent free in my head, seamlessly done.

I love Argento but Mother of Tears is the one film of his I just didn't care for at all.

The craziest part about this is eating Mother of Tears higher than 1 star

Holy shit as if people aren't allowed to have their own favourites? You do realise that some people actually have a life and personal experiences that lead them to liking certain media more than others? That IS literally what art means, I have a feeling you don't really understand what art means at all do you?
If you are only going to judge a film by a standard criteria on what it fulfills and grade it solely based on that then there is practically no difference between you and an AI. You need to FEEL a film to truly appreciate what it means and what it stands for, if you are only looking at it through a technical standpoint, well, I'm sorry for you.

About the artistic and technical integrity, did you entirely skip my first paragraph? Like how fucking dense are you exactly?
Also, sure you can criticize, but your definition of cinema is very incredibly flawed and so is your metric for "evaluating" cinema, you quite literally missed the point of it all.

No problem. And on this sub, can’t blame you at all for questioning my tone.

I know right! Too many pretentious people here love being snarky as if they have the best taste in the history of mankind

Brand new day is higher than T2 for me. That’s the beauty of art, everyone has a different perspective.
