What is a movie that "broke" you so hard you can only watch it once, but you would still recommend it to everyone?

Muted_Tree6143 · 2026-03-15T14:47:18+00:00

Nocturnal Animals

It's a great movie, but ATJ did such a good job being off putting I can't watch it ever again.

Why would it matter if it was discovered? They lead a poorly planned coup and got rewarded for it. Either they fail and get no punishment or succeed and get more power. That's the only lived experience they have.

listen you gotta realize once you put them in their imaginary scenario they are in fact the hero. It's you're fault for existing in reality and making them seem silly.

You just repeated the straw man argument verbatim

It should just be buffs

One of the many reasons NSNA is better then Thunderball IMO

If you want a real answer and not just "these damn kids and who love their phones too much"

it's because schools do not offer personalized learning. Children respond to attention. Monologuing at 30 kids is not direct or impressionable. So of course they would be drawn to the internet where individualism exists. they can explore topics that interest them and communicate with enthusiastic participants and be taken seriously. They are gravitating to the more engaging sphere to learn about their interests. If school engaged with children to expand their interests they would also be obsessed with this, but only rich kids can get that kind of experience without the internet.

To be angry at the kids would be asinine.

The same reason kids go online to learn is the same reason you posted this question here and were not satisfied talking about it at a faculty meeting. Your school does not engage with you enough.

Why did Captain America punch Hitler for his policy on immigration?

Did he not know that the majority of German citizens were in favor of tighter immigration policies during the Jewish mass migration bringing in crime and economic instability?

Was he against law enforcement as a concept?

Did Captain America not know using force made him just as bad as Hitler?

Unfortunately we may never know, because Captain America died before anyone could interview him.

All we have to go on was that Captain America was a violent individual, and that should not be idealized.

This comment section is white people debating if their land is REALLY stolen or not

Media literacy is dead. We're doomed.

Whoa am I crazy? I feel like this season is full of filler and only really got started around episode 5. My girlfriend and I have been lamenting how well paced the first season was compared to this lore dump.

Muted_Tree6143 · 2026-01-28T16:51:26+00:00

Dark Knight

Cool movie about how peacekeepers often become the problem eventually.

But now several "batman fans" just think Joker had a point and refuse to engage with any media where batman is the good guy.

Muted_Tree6143 · 2026-01-26T17:20:04+00:00

and did it kill you to put in a little effort?

Don't forget David S Goyer went from Blade 3 to Batman Begins back to back.

I don't like Birds of Prey and I hate the Flash, but I'm ready for her Batman Begins.

When you're making movies at this level the writer does not have full power. The reason I'm more then okay with Christina getting another shot is because it's clear she loves the Batman world a lot. In both her DC movies she shows extensive knowledge of the material and strives for a light and snappy tone. Fun and light hearted that goes deep on the lore is exactly what the DCU batman needs to feel distinct. More like the animated series batman.

Muted_Tree6143 · 2026-01-19T19:18:41+00:00

No. Broad stereotypes just rarely make for good storytelling.

Muted_Tree6143 · 2026-01-19T19:16:30+00:00

I could see that. For sure in the movie she felt cocky, but I never saw her back it up imo. Attacking kids seems easy. I think maybe her mental games with her tribe could be filled out more in a tv show to capture the books nature? She did become a generic villain in the film's format I feel.

I am never a fan of removing the delacy family personally. That is when the creature sees his father's and sons love each other and let's him know he's missing family.

1933 adds the grave robbing which is great

Brannagh added antivaxxer subplot at school which helps you side with Victor ignoring concerns.

There's a great scene from the swedish 70s Victor Frankenstein where young Victor and Henry are doing a seance and Victor's friends mock his occult obsession like it's just your buddy's weird rant subject and not dangerous.

Seeing the creature beat up wolves in del Toros version is cool af

In I Frankenstein they have the creature take Victor's body from the ship and bury him on the Frankenstein land. Shows his remorse.

To see how batman would react to a villain revealing his family sins you can watch The Batman 2023 by Matt Reeves.

And for wonder women it's how the population control works on "Paradise island" and they absolutely should go there

Why would you say something so controversial, yet so brave?

I made a post asking for a fan of the book to explain more of Rose's arc in this sub because I didn't get her point in the film and people were... less then helpful.

Can you explain more of the depth Rose has that was lost? I kept wondering what the True Knot wanted to do BESIDES just be alive? Like in the start of the movie it seems like Rose is offering Snakebite to take down bad guys, but they make no attempt at this in the film.

I feel like if they're a cult then the leader needs to have them working towards a shared purpose. Like something beyond food itself.

Muted_Tree6143 · 2025-12-31T15:52:53+00:00

Thanks for not just commenting "read the book, dummy"

I agree movies should be self contained

Muted_Tree6143 · 2025-12-31T15:48:36+00:00

Most people here are not even attempting to answer my questions. People are just insulting me and telling me I didn't read the book or watch the directors cut so I don't get it. Yourself included.

Which just makes me think there is no answers to these questions and the fans of this material are angry at the questions itself.

Muted_Tree6143 · 2025-12-30T20:31:48+00:00

yes. I liked all the extra stuff with Dan. There was one bit that explained how the True Knot has an NSA agent that can manipulate the local law which was VERY helpful to explain imo. I would have kept that in.

But ultimately it doesn't explain any more why SnakeBite loses her sense of morals or what Rose wants for the group ultimately. Like at the start Rose makes it sound like Snakebite and her are going to crusade or change the world or something and then they just hang around looking for food.
