>>3955738>(which presumably you haven't even seen based on the reply chain)Care to explain what gave you that idea? Dude listed ten films that include capeshit and propaganda. I, personally, would have to be lobotomised to try and force myself through half of them.
>This is such a stupid argument though because you're genuinely arguing that there's nothing to learn from contemporary filmsI'm not arguing that. I'm arguing that you can't learn anything new from contemporary films. You can pick apart Parasite, and learn from it, but why don't you just do what Bong Joon-ho did in the first place, that is, he engorged himself in Hitchcock, and learned from him? When you go for the source you know that it's time tested, and that it works. When you go for the new, you don't know that, you'd have to have supreme judgemental abilities of foresight to see that. At worst you'd be learning wrong skills and approaches that will be outdated and scorned in the future. Take a look at shaky cam, and piss filters, for example. First is already dead, the second is still clinging, yet should you still risk going for it, or should you take the chance now and gamble that it'll all revert back to vibrancy?
