Yeah, my intention for this video was simply to make fun of the whole "mocking cinephiles" trend - but given the obnoxious voice I affected for this video, it's understandable that some in the comments are getting the impression that I genuinely dislike Tarkovsky or Godard fans. Anyway, pinning this just because I'm glad someone got it.
damn, i hate those film snobs who demand such pretentious bullshit as "nuance" from movies and watch those foreign films from obscure backwater countries like "the UK" and "Russia"
I am stunned by this “brave” portrayal of the “stereotypical” “cinephile” who “enjoys” movies and doesn’t “hate” other people for also “enjoying” “other” movies

Why yes, I am of the opinion that people shouldn't act as if godzilla is a character that has to be serious all of the time, in fact, I would go so far as to say that godzilla is one of the most versatile characters of fiction, but I suppose such views are too unconventional for the general public to understand
Honestly, I've run into more instances of people acting as if godzilla _shouldn't_ be serious, and that trying to _make_ serious godzilla movies again was a mistake.
Why yes, I do believe there is a distinction between liking a film and thinking it is well-made. I do indeed posit it may be valid and amazing to find enjoyment in poorly made films and that it is fine to dislike a masterpiece. But I suppose that's simply too advanced of a distinction to make for the average peasant... 🧐

The plebeians will think that perhaps this video shows a touch of irony. I assure you we jest not. Only the other refined men of culture will understand the sincere nature of this video in how it expresses our superior observational skills and our truly dizzying intellect.

Lmao this reminds me of that Parks & Rec episode where they’re trying to save the indie movie store. “Well, maybe you could expand your collection a bit more.” “Oh you mean like, get the Tarkovsky films, but WITH the subtitles?”
The last one true man remaining in this world ! As Ibsen puts it in his seminal play "An Ennemy of the People", "the strongest man in the world is he who stands most alone" !
it was a solid point, its really obvious too in all the marvel stuff nowadays, i just have no idea how 'the toilet-eye-view helps the viewer understand how keith is handling the divorce'
Damn I really need to see anything by Tarkovsky in a theatre, super jealous. I kinda wanna experience Satantango in a theatre as a bucket list thing, there was a showing last year in a smaller local venue but I wasn't aware of it then.

The video: Making (mostly) reasonable points using a silly manner of expression, as a joke My take-away: man I wonder if people really _do_ make OOC meme compilations of classic films; I'd watch that
Let's all try making these types of points without the equivalent of harpsichords and outrageous accents. By the way, I do genuinely enjoy The Rise of Skywalker.
The worst thing these guys do is when you tell them that you like a movie and they say "oh you like THAT movie? Well that's fine I guess, I mean everyone has a guilty pleasure movie, even I sometimes like o turn my brain off and watch a fast and furious movie or something low brow like that, so I understand why youd enjoy that shitty movie you like" Like don't just assume I like a movie ironically, maybe I see something in it that you don't, ever think of that? Maybe art is subjective and not everyone needs to agree that something is good for it to be good, and don't try to high road me either by pretending to be accepting of my opinions while shitting all over them
That second paragraph _is_ what this guy was doing The joke of the video is that all the things he was saying were incredibly cold takes that weren't pretentious or judgemental at all, he was just saying them in a smug and smarmy voice
Yeah no point in engaging with douches like that. Most of these people aren't even that deep into film from my experience, I was like that when I was in my teens and going through IMDb's top 250 thinking I was above everyone else's tastes lol. Some people get to that stage and remain stuck there in their supposed 'elitism' when they've barely scratched the surface themselves. Just pure Dunning-Kruger effect.

The final level of cinephila is only watching stuff on tubi

you start off just watching the occasional fun b horror movie and than realize there are Jodorowsky movies in the horror section
and Kanopy
So cinephiles are just people who don't have jobs and watch movies on streaming services all day?
I never knew I was a cinephile, thanks GE!

You make some good points. Unfortunately for you I have portrayed you with a funny voice so people will disagree with you.
This isn’t “generic entertainment’” it’s underrated entertainment
This is me when I sweat my way through conversations about movies I definitely have seen.
My friend filled me in about Wonder Woman 1984 and now I'm ready to do an essay on it.

i love seeing people making fun of 'cinephiles' with good points. i do draw the line at shot composition however

A real cinephile would only ever call movies 'films'... or possibly 'motion pictures'. ;)
'Sight and Sound' from the Uk and Cahiers du CInema...essential cinephile reading.
Best movie? "Celine et Julie vont en bateau."
My biggest cinema flex is watching Andrei Rublev in a movie theatre and enjoying the whole thing.
