Why should we care about movies or fiction if we know it is fake?

I just want to hear a variety of well thought out answers to this question. Why should we care about fictional media in general if it is "fake", what is the point of it all? I heard a really profound answer to this a long time ago but can't find it again. It's one of those weird nagging thoughts I have, I know media doesn't have to be "real" to be profound or engaging, but whenever I watch a show or movie I keep un-immersing myself by thinking this.

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows

One the best action sequences ever.

Maybe even 2.

The entire train carriage sequence.

The 15mins + sequence from the fall of the tower to them getting on the train

Such an underrated movie .

Challengers is damn near perfect

Saw Challengers last night and cant get the movie off my mind. Its honestly perfect in my opinion. Perfect storytelling with an amazing soundtrack that leads to a very intense ending. Cinematography is VERY creative as well. I was very impressed by this film

Why did Firebrand choose *that* alternative ending to Henry VIII's life?

Finally got around to seeing Firebrand in the cinema last night, and I thought it was a brilliant portrayal of Katherine Parr, Henry VIII and many realistic elements of Tudor life in court at the time.

I was, however, a little befuddled by their choice to end the film depicting Katherine being imprisoned and then released to speak to Henry alone on his deathbed and then...suffocating him.

This obviously isn't accurate to history and doesn't seem accurate to the book it is based on. I don't think it is a bad interpretation (though I think they probably should have made it clearer that it was fictional). I'm struggling to interpert that choice and what they wanted it to communicate/represent. Does anyone else have some interesting thoughts or take-aways?

I rewatched Goodfellas and noticed some things I never noticed before.

  • Paulie’s brother Tuddy (played by Michael Jackson’s former manager) has a bulldog with him in two scenes.

  • When Henry & Karen get their table at the Copa and Henry shakes all those guys hands, one guy is staring at Henry like he’s got a problem.

  • When Henry and Karen are at the country club and Henry has to “sign for it,” he asks Karen “should I tip him?” and she says no, showing how cheap she is.

  • Morrie jumps into the water but when it shows him jumping out, he just splashes so I think his wigs actually do come off under water; the wig isn’t even wet.

-At the wedding, someone told Karen she looked Italian but the real Karen Hill, you can tell she was a Jew broad.

-The day they killed Billy Batts, June 11, 1970, was Henry’s 27th birthday.

-Tommy was giving Henry a dirty look at the dinner table as his mother was telling the story about the jerk.

-Janice’s boss looks like the mail guy whose head went into the oven. Got a different job but still got a beat down.

-After Tommy orders his drink from Spider, someone right after does say “I’m good” which confused spider.

  • Karen’s dad still hasn’t been able to digest a decent meal.

Which cut of Possession (1981) did I watch?

Hey guys! I just watched Possession and I loved it! I thought that I saw the uncut version (I rented it on iTunes and it said “Unrated”). But after looking online it seems that there is an entire scene I dont remember being in the film. The cut I saw was 2 hours long. I was just wondering if anybody knew how to tell which cut it was or how to find the uncut version. Thanks!

The Holy Mountain

A couple days ago I asked this sub for weird movie recommendations, one of the most recommended happened to be The Holy Mountain, neither of us had ever heard of it, and went into it completely blind, we finished it a couple minutes ago. WHAT THE FUCK DID WE JUST WATCH?

By far the weirdest movie I've ever seen, so bravo to those who recommended it to us.

Where can I find all the dogme 95 films (with English subs)?

Been having a super difficult time finding them.

I'm wanting legit sources, obviously willing to pay.

I think what I'll end up having to do is convert my Canadian currency into a foreign denomination and like, purchase them from a European version of itunes or something?

Does anyone else have experience with wanting to watch "obscure" foreign films that are hard to get ahold of?

The Adventures of Robin Hood (Errol Flynn)

At 1:41:48, a car drives by in the background. Looks like a white station wagon.

Longlegs is quite a silly movie tbh

So, I went to see Longlegs because I heard in a lot of places (this sub included I think) that it was some great sh*t and all… but tbh, what I watched ended up being a really silly movie. Don’t get me wrong it had a couple of legit scares and tense moments, but it was really full of horror movie cliches.

The very concept of making the villain evil because he was a satanist and nothing more was frankly very disappointing, though admittedly a bit hilarious. The creepy dolls were really unimaginative. and goodness how many times did the characters leave a door open or walked straight into danger. I know walking straight to danger and leaving doors open is a horror trope but why do it every time?

All in all the movie did entertain me but I expected far more.

I connected my Shure Microflex wired lav mic to my camcorder and it won’t record audio

I always use it with a JVC camera and it automatically starts recording audio right when I plug it in. I am trying to get it to work with my Canon Vixa HF R80 but when I plug it nothing happens.

help me find this movie

My fathers friend is searching for a movie she saw a long time ago. All she remembers of it is that there is a woman stuck with her leg in a whole in the ground in the midde of a 4 way crossing in the middle of a city. A group of first reaponders surrounding her so she dosen't get run over. there's also a delivery truck driving by, like a UPS truck or something. We've been looking around for it for a while now but are all stumped so I'm turning to reddit to do it's magic. thank u for ur time🙏🏻
