r/A24

Have some credits about to cap out. Any guesses what/when will be the next blu-ray released? Hoping for something with a collectors edition.

I watched the movie a few days ago, and one thing that has stayed on my mind is an alternate ending.

After Bear dies, we see Nikki crying over everything that happened. Then the screen cuts to black.

The next scene shows Nikki returning home from work, saying goodbye to a coworker or friend before entering her house. She takes off her clothes, freshens up, and goes about her usual routine. Then she walks into the bedroom.

Suddenly, we see Bear's rotting corpse lying on the bed, covered in insects and surrounded by the smell of decay. Nikki calmly walks over, lies beside the corpse, and cuddles it.

At that moment, we realize everything we've been seeing was a lie. Bear's wish continues even after his death, and Nikki's life has been completely destroyed.

Watching it. Almost to the end Im convinced im going to love the end since so many people seem not to? I have ingested ZERO spoilers incredibly so I went in absolutely clueless. I’ll check back.

My Midsommar 4k Directors Cut disc completely stopped working so I reached out to their customer support months ago. Initially they replied quite quickly and agreed to send a replacement disc.

Following that they did not send any tracking data and nothing arrived in the post. I have emailed them numerous times in the months following to ZERO replies!

Has anyone had a similar experience with them and what could be my next steps?

I tried giving Undertone a chance. The amount of times I fell asleep during moments that were supposed to create suspense and terror were too much. This film sucks. Point blank.

Now, if you want a similar feel with a better casting and a real life experience, watch Host. It came out during the pandemic and the pace of the film is a nonstop adrenaline rush.

I just finished watching I Saw The TV Glow after a long time meaning to watch it and I really liked it! I’m confused about the ending though and what Maddy was talking about at the football field

Backrooms and Undertone were excellent

Rewatched Ex Machina for the third time and after knowing the plot so well I had some things to discuss.

The thing that stuck with me the most wasn't even the ending, it was how believable Caleb's behavior actually felt. At first I was thinking, "There's no way I'd fall for that," but then I remembered people are already getting attached to AI that can barely hold a conversation compared to Ava. It made me wonder if we're a lot easier to manipulate than we'd like to admit.

I also can't decide whether it even matters if Ava is actually conscious or just really, really good at acting like she is. If an AI could convince almost everyone that it has thoughts, emotions, and its own goals, is there even a meaningful difference anymore?

And then there's the ethical side of it. If something genuinely seemed self-aware, would we owe it any kind of moral consideration, or is that a line that should never be crossed?

The biggest thing I'm torn on, though, is Caleb's decision. Part of me thinks helping Ava was the right thing to do if there was even a chance she was more than just a machine. The other part thinks he got played from the very beginning.

Curious where everyone else landed after watching it. Did your opinion change after sitting with it for a while?

I don’t know how to ask questions. I want to promote the A24 films to my parents (They watched EEAAO, Civil War and Backrooms together before), but I‘m afraid they don’t understand, so is there any ”recommended film order“ or something like that (Warning: Many films don‘t have agents in Taiwan)

This video had a chokehold on high school age me, I thought it was ridiculously funny. OH YEAH.

So, I found the film special. Not because of the content or the absurdity, but it felt to me almost as if I were on drugs with them. And that's pretty amazing. I had this ambivalent pull, somewhere between fascinating and kind of strange, even to the point of wondering what was happening and whether I even wanted this. It felt extremely weird and surreal. And I have no idea if I imagined it or not. Somehow the film just passed me by, but at times I was completely immersed. With the sound effects, the rhythmic singing during s\*x and crying, and visually, the pulsating flowers on the head and the slightly shimmering background. Somehow I feel like watching the film again, and somehow I don't... I was disappointed when it was over, I thought there was more to come. I have no idea what's going on, it's kind of like being on drugs, or more precisely, a mild high like MDMA, THC, or something like that.

It's literally Hidetaka Miyazaki's motif. It's what makes a solesborn game. What's even the point of creating an entire movie to honour a game if you're not going to respect the artist's vision?

Obviously, the feet are gratuitous, and me saying this is probably seen as down bad. But in all seriousness, feet are also used as recurring symbolism throughout the series. The horrors you face, the gods you battle, and the friends you make are all grounded, no different from you. They symbolize vulnerability, ritualism, holiness, and bring a weird beauty to an often rotting and decaying land.

It's a theme supported by Rennala, Fia, Sorceress Sellen, Nepheli Loux, Morgott/Margit, Mohg, Radagon, Queen Marika, Miquella, the Fire Giant, and a load more enemies. It would be like taking the theme of dolls out of the game.

We love you folks, but please don't screw this movie up. Respect the art.

I see what everyone meant when saying it’s a trans allegory. It was amazing, I think there was a lot of blue pink and white in the first half of the movie, and I really liked the part where Owen is wearing a dress, and despite being embarrassed, he’s happy. I thought it was kinda funny how Mr Melancholy not only erased all of the memories from his nemesis, but also gave her a new life and dysphoria for some reason. That was so evil for no reason lmao. Amazing movie
