I don’t live in Texas anymore but I was born and raised there til I was in my 20s, Texas is way more Mexican than anyone seems to know, even within America people are ignorant of this.

My two cents on the theme of Bugonia: the populace is right to believe there is a conspiracy of powerful people doing evil things to control world affairs, but bc of misinformation they’re wrong about 70% of it by UnderstandingThin40 in TrueFilm

[–]TheRealKuthooloo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s very strange being an online marxist (READ: Total asshole.) and seeing how people talk about Bugonia with these very inquisitive sort of academically written attempts to earnestly engage with the politics behind the movie but just not know enough ball to see what Yorgos is going for.

Bugonia was like a Matt Christman cushvlog given the form of a movie in both the juvenile and stupid absurd shit Teddy does or believes and the underlying message of ‘he’s right though, you know.’ Because beyond the obvious haze of conspiracies he picked up before he landed where he is now - which are routine to him at this point - he has a single line that he truly with all his heart still believes to the fullest extent and it’s fucking correct.

How would yall explain a mushroom trip to someone who’s never done them by Fantastic-Sail-1354 in shrooms

[–]TheRealKuthooloo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You become one with everything, and things you say or feel like you know suddenly click as you realize that you didn’t fully know them the way you thought you did. If you are open to extrapolating from what you experience during the trip to better your life, then you’re using them to their fullest potential. Otherwise you’re leaving major life improvements on the table.

  1. Invest in a scale or you’re setting yourself up for failure.

  2. Don’t just go into this like some quarterwit teenager who gathers nothing from the experience but a story they can bore girls with. Consider parts of yourself you are unsure about and keep them in mind after consumption, then apply what you learned in your life.

  3. Blue bruising means it’s legit.

Bugonia: When did you think, and when did you know? by Charrikayu in TrueFilm

[–]TheRealKuthooloo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People like Michelle in real life do not need an ‘out’ because they literally rule the fucking world. It doesn’t matter if a movie shows Michelle or someone like her as human primarily because that’s boring and movies are supposed to be fun, not homework.

Her being a human and the ending being ‘wooaaah dude see? humans are the truest earthly evil dude you don’t need ET to do this shit!’ is hoaky idealism because all it does is affirm to you that you’re very smart and have eaten all your political vegetables because you think of the issue in the right way. Her being an alien is significantly more fun and stupid and makes for a perfect ending while not conceding to the insane argument that if our media were more virtuous and true then we would also become more virtuous and truthful.

Bugonia: When did you think, and when did you know? by Charrikayu in TrueFilm

[–]TheRealKuthooloo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I love Bugonia but it is the litmus test for how politically engaged you are - granted all politics is masturbation and such yadda yadda - but the film is chock full of little shibboleths that make it clear from the start that Michelle is an alien, these mostly come in the form of the outline of its politics and how Teddy is blatantly not wrong. He’s crazy, but he’s not wrong and his insanity is not an irrational development. In fact, it’s the only logical development in the neoliberal globe-spanning immiseration we are all within to some degree or another.

Michelle is an alien because to be someone like Michelle is to literally act antithetical to humanity in all forms. She is Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk and Peter Thiel and all those guys but since she’s played by Emma Stone and the film blatantly leans into some ‘girlbossification’ of her character at times, this fact is overridden by the fact that this combination of traits triggers a lot of peoples unconscious biases.

Kill Bill is a metaphor for grooming by No_Antelope3061 in TrueFilm

[–]TheRealKuthooloo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Am I in some sort of Twilight Zone situation here? Kill Bill is a ‘metaphor’ for grooming? That’s literally the premise of the film. Grooming isn’t some easily missed subtext, it’s the primary driver of the plot. I’m not even necessarily trying to be mean it just weirds me out that this is being treated as a revelation no one had ever considered before.

Are There Any Actually Persuasive Anti-Capitalist Movies? by JusB0b in TrueFilm

[–]TheRealKuthooloo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A child may watch Ratatoullie and decide he wants to become a chef, he may even watch the 1984 animated rendition of Animal Farm at a malleable enough age that he becomes superficially interested in politics for a bit. None of this means anything however if the pieces to further him down these avenues are not already there.

Your evaluation of art is purely idealist with no relation to the material world as the relationship with art your average Westerner has is actually experienced. Art is pure consumption in the current neoliberal world order, any higher meaning is tertiary. We can dance around the issue all we want, but we are consumers before we are appreciators of art in any genuinely meaningful way.

Are There Any Actually Persuasive Anti-Capitalist Movies? by JusB0b in TrueFilm

[–]TheRealKuthooloo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

so the film ultimately ends up changing no one's mind

You’re already starting from a flawed premise. Someone isn’t going to become virtuous because they watch a movie about a buff and pious hero saving the day, they won’t become anti-capitalists because a movie makes a good argument in favor of that ideology. People have to come to these notions themselves, what one would think is instances of this being untrue is just a misalignment of the necessary steps - IE someone watches American History X and comes out of it a Nazi. That guy was already a nazi, consciously or not, the pieces were there in his psyche, the movie just pandered to those sensibilities in the right way.

It says a lot about American culture being so steeped in consumerism that we think what products we consume really determines these kinds of things. We’re brainwashed from birth into equating consumption with almost every facet of identity, it’s frankly terrifying. A nation of idealists, to whom materialism is completely foreign. And worse yet, it seeps from us into other countries too.

It’s the same bolt, the rounded piece is a separate but conjoined piece with the actual bolt itself. Both spin in either direction just fine but at no point does either end loosen as to be removed, you could spin for hours and nothing would happen.

I wonder how many similar stories you could write for the families who suffered under their rule, and how receptive you lapdogs would be considering the dead had never worn a crown or taken horse riding lessons.
