Whatever went right?

90% of their movies were Hollywood knockoffs.

Other way around, many Italian films inspired countless Hollywood directors, including one of the best of our generation Mr. Quentin Tarantino.

They stopped making horror flicks.

This guy's death doomed the whole business.

From an European point of view, up until the 70s American cinema was non-existent. Western movies, rethorical war flicks, big dramas were unartistic and dull. All the while, Italy and France had been chewing through the masters of Neorealism and Nouvelle Vague. Even popular productions were 30 years ahead, with stuff as sleek and modern as Good-Bad-Ugly having to contend with cheap b-movies and John Wayne antics.

Then New Hollywood happened, and the market was swept by moneymakers like Spielberg or Lucas. For a good decade, the invasion was kept at bay by the sheer popularity of local production: people would earnestly prefer Bud Spencer over ET.

But the virus kept festering in the system, rising a generation who felt unease with anything other but Hollywood. The same processes you see happening with the cultural colonization of american media by socjus, only through the eyes of apple-pie all-american capitalism. The culture war was also lost because of a failure in leadership: the thinking class (firmly leftist) was too busy eating their own to protect local cinema, and their narcissism ended up favoring the enemy (as usual).

Jews took over Hollywood. Big names such as Dino De Laurentis and Sergio Leone have been replaced by Jews. One of the reasons of quality drop in hollywood.

we stopped doing flicks around the 80s, when star wars came out and set special effects leves that we couldn't afford

He happen. He cut the founds for schools, therefor to culture and arts….. making all population more retarded. So we went from
Totò, troisi or benigni or even Togniazzi as a comedian to shit Christmas schlock with desica
From Dario argento for horror to hollyjew shit
From Italian sexy movies like Alvaro vitali to cisbuster
From hot girls like Sofia Loren or Fenech to SJW approved
From true kino with Fellini to Jew jew Abrams

This.

Wew lad. I bet you even voted for mr "Roma ladrona" that ended up like him too
dont talk you you know shit

sorry m8, I don't live in your mafia-infested pasta country

This is an average italian marxist, or "part of the problem" as we call them.

They have 110% control over universities, culture, media, art, critics, journalism but whenever the fail (and do they love failure) all they can do is to bring up the boogeyman.

Neither I or he would be able to name 5 italian conservative film-makers off our tongues. But he will agree all day that their failures come from right wing interferences, and will have his pals SHUT IT DOWN if you try to say it loud.

The Italian film industry is producing some of the most enjoyable works of art of this generation.

Sure buddy, tg5 Mediaset tg3 are all in commie hands, Silvio is a saint and Alitalia ain't being raped by him. Cinecitta ain't being closed for ideas and he gave money to Mubarak daughter ruby to take her out from prostitution


This is the example of idiots we live with. Even in front of the facts they close thir eyes and deny, shouting commies at their own shadow.
But hey! I guess that Trota really earned his bachelor degree in Albania and his dad didn't paid for it whatsoever right:^}

...

how did the makers of this not get v&?

man, i don't know if you actually watched the movies you are posting, but tulpa is utter shit

also la grande bellezza is garbage
it obtained an oscar only because it reminded americans of la dolce vita

You're a leftist on Holla Forums believing he's fighting the system, how more cucked can you be? Just go outside and embrace some rapefugee, he's human just like you!

That's what we're talking about. Stuff like this is irrelevant, no one bothers with 3rd world feels movies.

...

Sergio Leone died.

Tulpa is a good contemporary example of the giallo genre. I can certainly see why many people don't like those kind of mystery/horror/softcore B-movies, but I like it.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giallo

Overrated? Sure, but garbage, no way mate.

All other movies I posted are pretty palatable to a mainstream audience. Perhaps the only other one that may be hard to the most casual viewers is Un Gioco Da Ragazze, but I like it because it's an excellent example of the kind of movie Americans would never do. Way too politically incorrect for (((Hollywood))). It's about a girl who uses her sweet teenage pussy to get the new literature teacher in trouble.

who?

The capeshit thread is on page 1.

But occasionally, the Italian film industry hires actors from English-speaking countries to produce movies for the export market. You may find these more to your liking.

many people don't like it because the writing doesn't make sense, the death scenes are ridiculous and the acting is hilariously bad
i know it is trying to homage old italian b movies (and they're kinda obvious about it, just look at the assassin's costume which is identical to the one of 6 donne per l'assassino) but it fails miserably

as for la grande bellezza
come on, it's a shitty hipster rip off of la dolce vita, only fedoralord and hipsters liked it
and of course the burgers who awarded it, giving it undeserved exposure

What happened was that Hollywood seized it's grip over the film-industries all over the world and the european countries couldn't compete.

Same thing happened in Sweden. Where all it's left in local productions is shitty "drama/propaganda-pieces" with social commentary that fits right into the cult of the media that is living and fucking each other within the same social circles in that little part of the capital city.

Or it's bland, dry police-dramas that's been done 50 times over.

And the same actors is in every goddam movie. And every movie is always the same. And they give tax-payers money to fund it.

Also, fuckers thought, hey, let's make Hollywood-movies instead! So now they just produce cringe-worthy shit.


Italy knew how to make movies, but same thing probably happened there. Let's face it, the kikes managed to get a grip on the industry as a whole.

Fine, you don't like those movies. Post something you like then.

Here's more quality Italian movies

Essentially this, America has the monopoly over big budgeted films. Only East Asians and British productions can compete. European cinema died in the early 90s.

Big budget does not mean good. I'd rather watch any of the movies posted so far in this thread than cisbusters.

Italians even make good capeshit on a budget.

We even make revisionist film.

And also we knew about Sweden since 1968.

He's the father of the super mario bros.

...

now user, you're falling in the same fallacy as weebshits
just because it's foreign it doesn't mean it's better
capeshit is always trash

Two other of these Italian films for export. Both by Tornatore.

Why didn't you guys get any of the good American films back then? Were westerns and war movies the only things that sold well?

Post moar Italian movies

...

FTFY

Gassmann is literally the only good Italian actor still active.

Sergio Leone died.
RIP

Giancarlo Giannini too.

There are few movies that trigger the self-chosen as Il Portiere di notte (The Night Porter)


The entire Nazisploitation genre was an Italian specialty

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_exploitation

They sure don't make them like this anymore.

It's hardly triggering to them. Some even fetishized it and added to the myth like saying there were things like deadly masturbation machines that masturbated them to death. Most of the movies in that exploitation genre were made by prototypical antifa faggots who wanted to make smut but still stick it to the nazis.

Nazisplotation was very popular in Israel in the 60s.

Didn't stop Roger Corman from making knockoff movies like Battle Beyond the Stars.

Hey lumiere!
How arte you? Still fighting the ebil jew behind your screen? When was the last time you got out of your basement?

I'm surprised that them of all people liked it.

makes sense to me. they're some of the only ones who know what really happened at those camps (i.e. nothing unusual)

That movie is absolutely terrible. I cannot believe anyone would recommend it (if not trolling).

truth is benigni is a gigantic faggot

he's a commie and a jew

well, i don't know if he's a jew himself, but he's definitely an EU cocksucker

anyone got the webms of the Italian guy getting fucked in the ass?

no one cares about your home movies user

This is the most Italian sounding post I've ever read on Holla Forums

you know, you're quite right

Saved

what a bunch of bullshit.
Italian cinema was destroyed by the fact that socialists use tax money to fund movies for them and their friends. There are zero people making movies that are not socialists.

All Italian movies are made with State money and to get State money you have to suck socialists cock.
And in fact all Italian movies today are about the following

That's it. Italian art, at all level, is just a big circlejerking. People praising each other shitty movies, with zero value.

This is possible because socialist scum steals money from people that actually work and produce stuff of value, using taxes, and then the scum uses those taxes money to do useless stuff like "cultural stuff". And this cultural stuff includes shitty socialists movies. They don't have to be good, or be decent movies. They will use the money stolen from hard working people

This is only semi-related, but 8 1/2 is one of the best Italian movies ever made and shows both the government giving him money and having his friends make ridiculously expensive props.

And the mob of course.

user, you should feel ashamed of your words and deeds

Nice try Holla Forums but you can't put your lefties conspiracy of jewhollywood to other cinemas. Take your pills and open a book faggot

Are you fucking retarded user?

La Strada is better.

I think 8 1/2 was better because it's a great movie, but also gave a window into what 1960s Italy was like, since it was about a director making a film and allowed Fellini to show what an Italian director has to go through to make a film. 95% of it wasn't even related to actually filming anything but rather dealing with general Italian things.

La Strada did basically the same thing for Italy circa 1954, albeit from a circus performer's perspective instead of a director's.

kys

This is true in every single European country yet Italy produces more quality films (i.e. films that do not follow any of the formulas you describe) than the rest of Europe combined.

Has Italy ever made any good films that weren't either:

1. Fellini
2. Giallo
or
3. Spaghetti westerns?

4. Mad Max rip offs.

the best Mad Max rip offs

I know a casting guy working with Salvatores, he said those capeshit movies he made are utter shit

Oh, and Antonioni. I forgot about him.

This one went quite all right.

Italian Spider-Man

>>>/a/
>>>/suicide/

what did you mean by this?

he meant anime posters must either crawl back to the shithole where they came from or just kill themselves
and i agree

I'm sorry gook cartoons trigger you dear user-kun

after you, famissimo

Shit, you don't even have to post smug anime girls to give these autismos panic attacks anymore.

Maybe anime posting will finally drive thin skinned retards off the board so we can have threads that don't devolve into redirecting.

nope, sorry but we will stay and keep telling you to fuck off to your board until you finally do that

b-baka!

This applies to all yuro countries and even some latin american ones like argentina and brazil where governments rather than let movie studios compete with shittywood by making movies that can be exported go and force taxpayers to pay a clique of lefty faggots so they can burn that money doing abysmal art house bullshit that nobody but them watches

Good one.

Literally cuckoldry: the movie
