@chasewpatterson The Lobster, The Life Aquatic, and Birdman - all three I suspect have to do with how the viewer wants others to perceive their tastes more than the actual movie.

little exercise of trying to justify my favorite movies reminds me again of how rating movies by technical ("objective") measures are dumb as fuck
trying to describe a work of art is a creative activity in itself

"The film is the thing. You work so hard to get this thing built, in this beautiful language called cinema. And the second it's finished, people want you to change it back into words. It's very very saddening, it's torture."

"the medium is the message" became a rather trite idiom for art students to bandy about while making a fuss about using wood panel instead of a regular canvas, but started as a powerful philosophical and sociological observation urging us to examine the structures of media itself

the lobster has an interesting premise, is intense (emotionally), and also p good as social critique
TLA is super cozy, as with most WA movies
birdman is for me a 10/10 and probably cant fully explain why i love it so much but it heavily influenced some of my values wrt writing
