Funny Casting Double Standard: 300 vs Odyssey

Some are going crazy over the casting of Odyssey and its historical "accuracy"

I'm Persian and the film 300 cast my ancestors as demonic monsters, Africans, and even made King Xerxes a bald Brazilian raver guy

I don't remember anyone caring or ever bringing that up

Chris Nolan makes some very minor casting decisions in The Odyssey for Greek people, far less egregious, and people are losing their minds

What's up with that?

What movies you like when you were young, but hate when you get older?

Forrest Gump - I really liked it when I was young. Just it was full of positive and hope. Things would get better no matter how worse they were.
But I now just completely hate the movie. Forrest basically hasn't been working hard to get anything. All the things just come naturally. And people who fought against their fate are suck. And the ideology is about "God has a plan" or "God will provide".
Nothing will come to me without efforts. And all the people around me are working hard to achieve what they had.
And also I notice there are so many similar movies like Forrest Gump during 80s-90s. like Cinema Paradiso, etc.

you want a morticia… but are you ready to be gomez addams?

saw something about this and it got me thinking

he idolizes her, he worships her… she’s basically his whole world

it’s kinda crazy how intense that is — the way one character feels about the other, like it’s more than love, almost a whole lifestyle

he even feels lucky just to touch her, kiss her arms… like that alone is enough for him

everyone wants a morticia… but are you actually ready to be gomez addams?

it’s not even about wanting to be morticia, it’s about wanting to be gomez

and honestly this goes beyond gender
it’s more about the dynamic and what makes two characters actually feel complete together

morticia and gomez are just one example of that

feels like this kind of dynamic applies to real life too… and even to other movies that have that same kind of connection

so what about you… are you willing to be morticia, or gomez addams?

What movie was like this for you?

For me it was a lot of films. For example Cars 2. I consider it peak. A lot of people think it's the worst Pixar film.

Another film is Southland Tales and also Hannibal Rising.

I finally watched Requiem for a Dream and I genuinely think it’s one of the best movies I never want to see again

Finally watched Requiem for a Dream after hearing people hype it up for years and yeah… this movie is straight psychological damage.

Not even in a corny “disturbing movie iceberg” way either. It just slowly keeps tightening the screws until you feel sick watching people ruin their own lives in real time. Everybody in the movie starts off chasing something completely normal and by the end it’s like watching humanity get put through a blender.

The editing and music are insane too. Halfway through it feels less like a movie and more like you’re trapped inside somebody’s nervous breakdown.

10/10 movie. Never watching it again.

What’s another movie that’s amazing but you refuse to rewatch?

Love 30 seconds to mars,
Love Wayne bro
Love the acting
I feel weird

Wolfgang Petersen’s movie “Das Boot”, is widely regarded as a masterpiece of war cinema, offering an intensely claustrophobic and authentic look at a German U-boat crew during WWII. It’s an incredibly bleak and profoundly sad movie. If you haven’t seen it, look for it. It’s definitely worth a watch…

What movie do you wish you never saw? My pick would be Irreversible (2002). I met Gaspar Noe. He is a very kind, soft spoken person. Interesting how someone’s art can differ so much from their persona.

Can't remember this one movie !!

All info I can give is pretty vague because its been so long since I saw that movie. All I remember was a sort of exorcism scene, loud noises and i could have sworn that the song "Riders on the Storm" by The Doors was playing at one point or another. Maybe not that song, but 100% was a Doors song. Anyone know?
