That's cool. But I absolutely hate when people do that. I hate when people argue for the sheer sake of arguing. If you don't even believe the argument your making yourself, what the hell is the point in arguing about it? Debate is fine and all but this is just silly.
Who said I was arguing for the sake of it, no where did I say I didn't believe what I was saying.
Well here's your first problem, thinking that awards and statistics are how you can measure art
I said that's what I DIDN'T do.
I get it, your in art school, I live next to bunch of them in Berkeley and San Francisco, I get the perspective, everyone I see is trying to tell me why some indie film is the better than sliced bread.
Indeed. I've given my interpretation of this film, I'm not really sure what you're trying to accomplish here by arguing with me about my own interpretation.
We obviously have differing opinions about what makes a movie Art, and I respect that.
Lol, funny shit man. Do I really need to point out how absurd it is that you're touting Borat as the greatest film ever while shitting on Blade Runner, a film superior to Borat in literally every way a film could be?
That's a fine opinion, but it doesn't change the fact that I find Blade Runner to be one the most boring movies ever made. I could watch Borat 100 times in a row and I'd rather watch it for the 101st time then having to sit threw Blade Runner Again ( Yes I was fucking high while watching it, it didn't help)
Well it doesn't make your argument look very credible. Why should we take your opinion on the world's greatest seriously again? Because you don't know what a cinematographer is?
.... And your more credible because you go to art school and enjoy indie flicks, doesn't change anything for me.
Dude I like you, I do. You've got good taste in music, you're a fellow stoner, and I have nothing bad to say about you. But, and remember this is simply my interpretation, Borat is nowhere near the discussion of best films ever. Nowhere near.
You know I'm a Fan X, and there is no way I'm backing down from my defense of Borat, I honestly didn't make this thread for the purpose of trolling. I knew everyone was going to pick the same fucking shit, and everyone did pick the same shit. The same movies that have been discussed before, I wanted to do something different, I was looking for a challenge. I was going to do Space Odyssey at first, then I was going to do Remember the Titans, then I though, let me see if I can make a legit argument for a movie that most won't agree with, and I feel I made a stellar argument. all your points are valid, and I do respect them, but I choose to defend this film to the death, and that's exactly what I'm doing.
Again with the "blah blah meaningless box office number and awful critics giving it a thumbs up", that doesn't prove the film's worth as you yourself have said repeatedly that art is open to interpretation.
So if my opinion isn't good enough, and my facts aren't good enough, what would you like me to say?
So again I ask, why are you responding to my posts and trying to argue with me about my own interpretation of this particular film? I gave my input on the thread topic, sorry you disagree with it, really couldn't care less honestly.
Well of course I disagree you big silly, I picked Borat, I've seen it a bunch of time, I know a lot about it, I've been of fan of Cohen since his early work, I'm simply defending my point.
It's just too bad that it really doesn't matter how many different demographics a film appeals to. It's an irrelevant factor in discussing the actual film itself, we're not talking about how it was received or who went to see it, the film itself.
I feel Borat has had a bigger influence on current culture and current society more than any of these old Italian Mafia films.
Let me ask you this, can you fuck a bitch with a limp cock? No, you cant. Just like I cant defend some movie from the 70's that I honestly could give two fucks about. I choose something that I could defend, and that's what I'm doing
It's just too bad he does it by being a total fucking baffoon and harassing people. Like I said, moderately funny movie with a good message and underlying intent, but to even begin to suggest this is the greatest film ever made is simply preposterous.
I know where your perspective is coming from, and now, hopefully you see where I'm coming from, again I respect your opinion X, but I'm not just going to bend over on this matter.
