Grand Budapest Hotel is my go to. The color pallet, the music, what little action there is is done in a way that it’s still relaxing. Only problem is if it’s not a film you’ve seen yet you’ll want to watch it before hand or else you will get interested.

Or LOTR lol

Shootem up.

It was a creative decision made the playwright who wrote the stage play it is based upon, and also wrote the screenplay. According to The Whale's wikipedia page, "Hunter stated that his reflections on teaching were the initial point of inspiration for The Whale, and that he did not add the obesity aspect until later, as a way of making the teacher have a "distance" from the audience and the other characters."

The Body was so brutal.

Aronofsky hates subtlety (not a bad thing imo) and uses obesity I think because it's easily visualized, there's a built in self destructive component, and it doesn't really need to be explained to the audience how any of it works

This is the one! Haven’t seen it in many years but I’ll never forget it. Might stick it on this weekend, actually.

George Lucas took a LOT of inspiration from Kurosawa. “New Hope” is basically a sci-fi reskin of “Hidden Fortress”

Tbh I remember the court case, never heard of the movie.

> It’s dated and filled with cheese moments and that’s part of why it’s so fun.

Exactly. Its a bad, low budget 90's movie that has a cult following and spawned carriers for a lot of people.

They do a lot of that in the English translation I think. Vitalstatisix is the chief, Fullyautomatix the blacksmith, unhygienix the fishmonger

I'm proud to be one of the ten people that saw it in the theater.

Him being obese though is a self destructive and plays into the entire story.. But doesn’t define the story: it’s character building so without that we would lose part of the arc, no? It’s taking an actors words and playing with them literally

It's FRASER ffs!! How can so many get it wrong so often?

ran ?

I miss the 90s...movies like this were made

This reads like someone who has never seen an 80’s or 90’s movie before. I’m going to assume you are young lol.

Not nasty at all, I’m saying how I feel, and it wasn’t necessarily towards you specifically, just the constant bitching I see about this movie existing is exhausting.

pretty much overrated. and the ending is the cringest thing i've ever seen in the last 15 years (and i watch around a film per day).

I’ve tried doing that with It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia but I’d laugh and wake myself up too often.

Yes. It has to be something you’ve seen already so you’re not really paying attention to see what happens.

Geez, dude, this is a discussion thread, no need to get nasty! And I am not morbidly obese, so the movie didn’t hurt my feelings. Chill!

most recent Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy movie. I love it but also find it incredibly soothing.

That makes sense!
