Chainsaw Man is simultaneously worthy of serious discussion for its heartfelt look at society and cycles of abuse and dehumanization, and it's also like, a fantastic nonstop barrage of shitposts

It's crazy how many people just summarize the whole story of a Manga on YouTube and call it good, while adding almost no analysis or reaction.

Definitely moreso. I just think he's a bad match for Pynchon material. He doesn't do the more whimsical side very well.
21.11.2025 20:35 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Damn fun might be overselling it. Could probably edit the film down a tight 90 minutes and it might be fun at that point.

21.11.2025 12:48 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Like I would say this is a film that was more interested in the way the rug rolls perfectly over the trap door after it closes.
21.11.2025 12:47 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Yeah like I said, I thought the film was really about the fetish of filming people moving in an orchestrated manner through spaces. The whole scene where Del Toro is evacuating his residence is a very good set piece. But it's not REAAALLLY about immigration/ICE etc.
21.11.2025 12:46 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0It almost felt like a movie the Coen Brothers would make, but not executed with the same panache.
21.11.2025 12:37 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0It's probably difficult to get funding and big stars if you do. In some ways, there's something very old hollywood about it--though possibly even more vapid. There are bits of I liked: Sean Penn's walk, the final chase scene, Benecio Del Toro--the scene where they decide to kill Penn's character
21.11.2025 12:36 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I haven't but that's why I was interested in checking it out. But it really lacked in the weirdness of Pynchon.
21.11.2025 11:45 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0You're probably right in that the people who like it, like it as some kind of revolutionary thing, but are too self-serious to understand how they are being made fun of. And then there's maybe also an aspect of "Emperor's New Clothes" with regards to PTA's recent films mixed in.
21.11.2025 10:34 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Really? Do they not get that the film mocks them as unserious ineffectual clowns who will snitch on each other the moment anything gets tough?
21.11.2025 09:10 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 1 π 1The film is an exercise in dilettantism. I think you are better off watching the films of Chris Morris if you want satirical horror.
21.11.2025 08:33 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0The best performance was actually the army interrogator who was playing themselves I think. He's genuinely terrifying. But underscores how unserious the film actually treats anything it is talking about.
21.11.2025 08:33 β π 4 π 0 π¬ 2 π 0It's like the beginning of that one Bunuel film but for almost 3 hours and absent any sexual fetishes.
21.11.2025 08:33 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Fundamentally One Battle After Another is a film about how people move through different spaces, sometimes alone, sometimes in groups. Nothing the characters say really means anything, and their affiliations are arbitrary and unserious.
