You're pushing at a memory as you zone out on your Barco-lounger, being hypnotized by daytime TV for the rest of your life. All it ever took was a down payment on a Lincoln town car.

>>137800445Melancholia

I legit for the longest time before and after watching this movie I thought it came out in 2014. When I found out it was actually 2004 it blew my fucking mind, I was in genuine disbelief. Film aged incredibly well.

>>137801153No. I'm a 33-year-old loser by everyone's standards including my own. I don't see any future in which I succeed. Such an inspirational scolding could work on someone like Max, but for me, living from welfare month to month, seems as far as winning the lottery. There is no step to start from that will lead me anywhere I don't think will make me miserable.

>>137801379it's a minor masterpiece

>>137801140Not that guy but it's really not that hard. Rent costs more but you can just get a roommate / live in the valley or el monte and commute an extra half hour a day. Gas is cheap as fuck (for now), so is food if you buy beans and rice in bulk at mexican grocery stores. Uber is a scam full-time, but you can just ferry drunks from one end of Sunset to the other on the weekend and make a couple bucks. Just lurk at a threshold of income / expenses where the worst of CA taxes miss you and start saving money

>>137799946>this scene>the scene between Pacino and his girlfriend in HeatHow the fuck does Mann make it work? On paper, this dialog sounds like everything you're told to avoid when you write a script but he makes it work. How the fuck

>>137801678They literally say Vincent is Mossad in the film you faggot retard lardass mutt

>>137802968He hires great actors to make clunky dialogue sing. There's also a lot of really good dialogue in Mann's movies, too.

Why does Foxx call the song at the beginning an oldie when it's clearly contemporary music? Also the jazz question scene is cringe as fuck if you are anywhere even a hair above jazz entry level

>>137800371Movies like Collateral and Heat, as well as GTA: San Andreas, make me pine for LA despite never having been there and knowing that it's like one of the last places on Earth I'd want to live in.

>>137803147Okay listen up you fucking listen up you punk you big doofus alright listen up bud i'll tell ya why okay pal it's because the movies have this thing called they can be forward in time okay and so this movie takes place it's not today it takes place in the future and so a "contemporary" song as you call it oh so holier than thou guy is a song from the past or an oldie as i like to say in the context of the movie alright bro so you can just just hop in your high horse just get right back in your wagon and i'll bid you adieu

>>137803024???No they don't. The only reference to his past is when the FBI characters are talking about how cartels use ex special-ops guys for hitmen.

>>137799946People notice. Most people don't want to bother. Asians do this to an extreme.

>>137803387Yeah okay retard watch the fucking movie next time before wigging out

Aged like shit.

>>137800323Yes but, for most of human history you would live in a small town and not have internet access, so you would've been less retarded anyway

>>137800806it's actually a shortening of queen of angels referring to the virgin mary. so it was already dumbed down for people.

>>137802968which scene with his girlfriend> theres a bunch

>>137800890I actually think he could have pulled it off.Cruise & Sandler would have been better than Foxx for sure, even if Foxx put his all in and hit a personal home run himself.

>>137803147only because vincent was also wrong. I hope you're not shitting on miles davis just because he's well known because that shows how entry level you are.

>>137801678You're seeing the film through the kebse of Hollywood's current racist xenoidolatrist lens. None of those plot points were imposing of a racial political statement back then. It was a better time.

>>137801153As I was approaching 30, hating my “good” comfy life as a well paid software sales associate, this speech made me immediately get out of my chair and talk to an Army recruiter.Last year at 32 years old I passed Special Forces Assessment and Selection.

>>137804992>>137803147I didn't QUITE cringe at that scene, but quizzing a supposed jazz expert on Miles Davis - i.e. someone universally known even among non-jazz listeners - is sort of like quizzing a a mathematician on the multiplication table.

>>137806156Most people aren't super familiar with jazz.Also the way the real answer is phrased makes it seem like something you could forget while staring down a hitman.In addition Max was sperging out.

>>137805288Good goy.

>>137806156that's exactly what I'm talking about. you think you're such hot shit for thinking miles davis is basic but you won't find a jazz artist from after the 50s that doesn't credit him. they were talking about him because they were playing one of his pieces when the scene opens up. that guy himself said he was a failure of a player and he actually had a (fictional) story of meeting him so it's not like they randomly brought him up. stop trying to be a snob about something you know nothing about. you don't even know what miles was like as a person because he would rip you a new one, actually the way they described his demeanor in the movie is the most accurate part.

>>137808486>ugh.... like WEED bro... like WEED and POT and like omg I just le want to like, get high and le society toally le frowns upon me... ugh!

>>137800458"economy" means commerce. things are bought and sold. it doesn't have to be a specific thing. just the fact that there is so much activity means there is opportunity for someone to jump in and find success. consider the economy of a small town. you couldn't sell a $3M sports car there. no one has that kind of money. But, you couldn't set up a food stand selling Nigerian food, either. It is a small town; nobody eats that stuff. L.A. is so big, there is bound to be SOMEBODY who will eat at your stand. Even more importantly, you will eventually run into other people who are into food stands, or small businesses, or African cuisine, and you can learn from these people and make your little business better. Opportunity begets opportunity. Success begets success

>>137820847Maybe. I don't remember at all. Even if that was the case, isn't it awfully coincidental in order for the story to reach a higher form of climax? Like really forced in through a fixed structure, rather than figuring out the flow of the story, organically?
