:cry: but..but.. :cry: :cry: lobster isn't an arthouse film! :cry: and you're mean for insulting it... even though you never actually called it an arthouse film I will use logical fallacies and say you did... :cry: :cry: that doesn't matter I will use logical fallacies to insult you cuz you called my favourite director bad! :cry:

:rofl:

I'm sorry you need to use shitty films to make yourself feel superior. Go watch only god forgives. I'm sure you will fit in with all the "you just didn't understand it" shitheads that worship that movie too.

you portrayed the lobster as an arsty, shallow highbrow film. i said it's pretty straight forward. where's the logical fallacy?

speaking of fallacies, you're building quite the strawman here. I don't hold the lobster in particularly high regard, nor do I consider Lanthimos as one of my favourite filmmakers. I'm not a fan of Winding Refn either, but what does that have to do with anything? lol

I'm sorry I offended you by pointing out your intellectual insecurities

No I didn't. You need go back to grade school to increase your reading comprehension.

Directors like this are the worst tbh. Lobster was the same kind of "make film students seem deep for liking this" nonsense.

these two statements don't go together in your world?

again, I'm sorry I offended you by pointing out your intellectual insecurities. no need to bust an artery

It's been a while since I watched the movie, but I recall enjoying it. It's a modern interpretation of a Greek tragedy, but I forget which one. Look it up.

The Lobster and The Favourite were 2 great movies of the same director. Both have the same bizarre/surreal black comedy vibe. I haven't watched his other works however.


I think you're talking about the tragedy of Iphigenia.

Right on. Some searching with Google.com on the tragedy of Iphigenia was part of my reasoning to watching the movie. I appreciate both of you for sharing what you have here, and I look forward to adding more to the discussion sometime in the future. :)

Must be really strange to live in a world where all art house films are only made for film students and all movies made to impress film dude bros are automatically arthouse films.

How did you transfer over to this universe where neither of those statements are correct? Or maybe you need to go back to grade school for reading comprehension. Which is the more likely scenario, I wonder?

I get it, you're a fragile film dude bro and I hurt your feelings. Move on, I have.

bye

doesn't seem like you have lol, you seem quite upset

I challenged your view of the lobster as a:

movie made to impress film dude bro


or however you want to bend it. my interpretation of your descriptions of it boils down to:

an arsty, shallow highbrow film


while my view of the film is that it is:

pretty straightforward


somewhere down the line you got offended, started lashing out by building strawmans regarding my art tastes and blindly bundled me up with what you disdainfully call ''film bros''. I take that as a childish lash out stemming from your own intellectual insecurities, because god forbid someone finds enjoyment in something you don't enjoy.

I'm not upset in the slightest, more so I'm fascinated by how you carry yourself and how you approach an argument.
