Cringe. Stryp and Cooper were much better than him and much more interesting.

He's not supported by anyone. What the fuck is your point? That you are a mad kike?

It's my second favorite Kaufman film but it's not like he's made a billion

I liked it.

it's great

Id rather rewatch Being John Malkovich

If people didn't get that, then I don't think they got the point of the movie. A conversation between Susan and LaRoche pretty much spells it out:
>You know why I like plants? Cause they're so mutable. Adaptation's a profound process. It means you figure out how to thrive in the world.
>Yeah, but it's easier for plants -- I mean, they have no memory. They just move on to whatever's next. For a person, adapting's almost shameful. It's just like running away.
LaRoche describes Donald and Susan describes Charlie. Charlie is trying to pull something out of himself and Susan's book that just isn't there, but he's too ashamed to retreat to a simpler method, like Donald would. The third act is him finally adapting to his situation by taking Donald and McKee's advice (pic related) and just doing something that he knows will work.

Easy there Mr. Gucci loafers

>Having been submitted the screenplay for approval, Susan Orlean was strongly opposed to the making of the film; she ended up reluctantly approving its production, and was ultimately very impressed with the final result. In 2012, she said, "[reading the screenplay] was a complete shock. My first reaction was 'Absolutely not!' They had to get my permission and I just said: 'No! Are you kidding? This is going to ruin my career!' Very wisely, they didn't really pressure me. They told me that everybody else had agreed and I somehow got emboldened. It was certainly scary to see the movie for the first time. It took a while for me to get over the idea that I had been insane to agree to it, but I love the movie now."
Come on, how can you not love this film

Please do not call me that.

It's my third favourite film and, as an aspiring screenwriter, basically my bible.

It's about how there should be no rules to screenwriting. He sets up rules for himself in the beginning and at some point goes to a seminar where Robert McGee gives a list of his own rules (which repulse him). In the end? The film breaks every single rule by both men. Don't limit yourself and your own creativity.

was it autism?

I bought these shoes from a homo

this film is a good pleb filter. not the deepest shit ever made obviously, but good for weeding out mouth breathers who will sit and watch a movie and take it completely at face value without thinking about it at all

>Like, I don't want to cram in sex, or car chases, or guns. Or characters learning profound life lessons. Or growing or coming to like each other or overcoming obstacles to succeed in the end. Y'know? The book isn't like that. Life isn't like that. It just isn't. I feel very strongly about this.
kek

Being John Malkovich was gay and pretentious, this was actually entertaining and clever

Couldn't agree more.

>genius or gay meta pretentious shit?
honestly both
