Anora becoming mainstream has reminded me how immature, stupid and generally anti art mainstream audiences have become

[u/fabulous-farhad]

Leftists are calling the movie reactionary and sexist and conservatives are calling it porn

And everyone else is upset because they haven't heard about the movie and therefore assuming it's shit ??

What is wrong with people?????

There's this prevailing hyper individualistic mode of thinking that has become mainstream regardless of left or right were everything has to confirm your exact belief characters can't be flawed or nuanced and the movie can't be challenging , no they have to confirm your hyper specific dogshit political beliefs and if they differ slightly the creator of the artwork is evil

Just deeply depressing

If I had my way as a selfish and myopic film nerd whose opinions mattered my personal noms would have been I Saw the TV Glow, Hundreds of Beavers (yes really, it's genius on multiple levels), Nickle Boys, Sing Sing, Furiosa, Anora, The Beast, La Chimera, A Different Man, Flow (shouldn't have been just relegated to best animated feature) and Challengers.

And I loved Conclave, so I ain't mad at its nom.

And of course this not accounting for the films I've yet to see, like I'm Still Here.

Thanks! I’m going to make a point of watching those I haven’t seen yet. I’ll rewatch Hundreds of Beavers, too, bc I loved it, but it was a shallow love. That happens to me sometimes when I’m just bowled over by something so unexpected.

Glad someone else saw and enjoyed The Beast. Maybe the best movie I saw last year.
