    I’ll never understand how people can expect movies not to show negative parts of life.

      Because fiction is fake. The parts of life you see in a movie are the lives of actors acting on a movie set.

      There's a difference between "showing" and endorsing. Films can validate and reinforce misogyny by showing it, or they can be critiquing it by showing it.

    Nice casual and spontaneous review bro. I'm sick of people presenting their movie reviews as a literary achievement just to prove that they've understood the seventh dimension of the film.. when such works of art are meant to be interpreted in many many ways.

    great treatment of a fantastic film that deserves rethinking. Richard Feynman in Six Easy Pieces 1963 said about physics 'one needs a considerable amount of preparatory training even to learn what the words mean...we can only do it piece by piece'

     yesterday I was having a small discussion with my children. We were discussing something about ordering through a drive-through and we were also discussing about how do you some fast food businesses like Starbucks you have the opportunity to really fine-tune your order to sell my new text detail and I was telling them about a film with Jack Nicholson in which the waitress was asking him for his order and he decided to change it from their preset orders and then I showed them the film and I asked them for their feedback so we watched a clip from the film five easy pieces but after I showed them that clip on my own, I decided to watch this other one in which some guy he analyze this film and cinema from that time and how influential this film wars so I thought I would share that clip here:

    Have not seen anyone mention 'Good Will Hunting' in connection with this film. The basic premise is similar, although it has a 'happy' ending. Have only recently seen 5EPs and impressed by Mr Nicholson's subtle performance. So much better than his later 'being Jack Nicholson' parts. Another analogy one can make IMHO is Albert Camus's Meursault in his 'The Stranger', whom Camus himself described as follows: 'Mersault is afflicted by what I call the folly of sincerity (la folie de la sincerité). This character is distinguished by his never wanting to say more than he feels. To someone who proposes marriage and asks him if he is in love, he replies that he does not know or that he is not. He never says yes, as he is never sure of his feelings. When asked if he grieved at his mother's funeral, you'll notice that he neither admits nor denies having grieved. It is this tenacious refusal, this fascination with the authenticity of what one is and what one feels that gives meaning to the whole novel.’ (As for the claim that the film is misogynistic and all that, sorry, complete b*ll*cks. Plucked out of the thin air.)

      It doesnt matter it was made at the end of the 60s, so it was already transitioning, if it was 1967 it would be different.

    Elizabeth Taylor was not a Method Actor. Placing her in the same category as Marlon Brando & James Dean is ridiculous & shows you have no credibility when it comes to evaluating acting & film.

      The method acting I'm mentioning stems from Stanislavski and is not about going and living in a cabin for a year to prepare for a role set in the 1800s.

      Someday someone's going to write a movie and your "Buddy, there is no shit called..." line will be in it. Who would you cast for this line? Johnny 4 Weeks Ago is your name this week. When was the first or last time you had to sell a line? Have you ever been a telemarketer or a lover or have you always been a movie maker? Tell me more, lover.

    Yeah those 2 Ralfsons FEP and King of Marvin Gardens really made their mark when I saw them early 70s Jarring nihilism was against the grain of Amurikan optimism he f... over his career as a pianist to become blue collar. That final scene of abandonment like yesterday. Some say it's his best. By China Town 1975 there's no need of the method - he's just jack. Not actin. It certainly fits in that river of 70s nihilism US.
