I Flip You Off for Four Hours (2020)
haha very funny... WRONG!
Trying actually watching it... it's the worst movie of all time...
even with the lame camera trick halfway through when that person is like juggling or something in the frame. It still sucks.
The film Wavelength (1967) comes to mind but even that has more going on.
Shok (2015)
Not my favorite Oscar short but still good
7
So simply put this film was close to flawless (except how was the bike just sitting in the middle of the road? They should of put it in a field and had them hiking around to find it just one small thing) however, shouldn't the energy and resources put into film be used to impose justice on the war-crime committed?
I'm sure making the film is cathartic but I was left wondering, if this really happened to a friend of mine, I would of spend my entire life trying to find who did that to my friend and get him arrested, tried and convicted for a war-crime.
I do really appreciate the talent of the filmmakers, but I'm not sure their efforts in this medium are correct or appropriate given their past circumstances.
Again I digress and ask, if they had the means to pull something like this short film off, couldn't they transfuse that same effort and money into imposing justice on the wrongs done in the past which this film depicts?
Mr. Robot (2015)
Sam Esmail is a plagiarist
Why don't I love this show? Why don't I love this show?
There is something about it...
Oh wait- Esmail (the show's creator) stole the plot from Fight Club along with countless other snippets from Kubrick movies (just to name a couple victims).
I don't care about originality. Remakes bother me on most occasions but saying a film like say, Avatar sucks because it's unoriginal, I don't feel that way.
Mr. Robot takes things a step further, it just steals so much from so many places. I've just never seen such blatant disregard for other peoples work because of how much of other peoples stuff Esmail used.
Had it been just one plot point from Fight Club and a few Kubrickan things every episode, that would have been fine. But no, Mr. Esmail took so much more.
The fact that Stanley Kubrick and Fight Club never won a Golden Globe but Mr. Esmail did is evidence of the so called golden age of televisions demise. I'm calling it, Mr. Robot is the beginning of the end of the golden age of TV. Game of Thrones has only a few more seasons left. They are rebooting countless shows. Mad Men, Breaking Bad is over. It's done folks. It's saturated.
I digress,
So what if Esmail was the first one to bring realistic computer hacking in anyway shape or form to Hollywood.
So what if Malek and Slater's roles are two of the best I've ever seen on TV, plagiarism is plagiarism.
Everyone steals from everyone, right? Right.
I've just never seen this much taken and this much reward and praise given to the taker.
What Mr. Esmail did is metaphorically pull of the greatest jewelry heist in history. No one is questioning his genius, even though it's over 50% stolen. He went in with a mask and took it all. Golden Globes and all. The worst part it no one stopped him or even questioned him.
Do I need to list everything he stole? I could and it would be astounding but I don't have time. Does that leave me just another jealous and lonely SOB ranting on the internet? Is the proof not self evident? Do you see what he has stolen?
I know I'm saying this show is the beginning of the end of the golden age of TV but that's not really what's important here. What's important is how everyone is letting Esmail stand on the shoulders of giants like Kubrick and authors like Palahniuk and be treated as a genius. I'm particular pointing the finger at you IMDb users, whom voted this so highly and especially at the Hollywood Foreign press and SXSW film festival and last but not least, critics.
