"I never understood why this film is held in such high regard, it really never did anything for me or resonated with me" Pretty hard to beat this kind of ivy league analysis

Stupid question but what does ivy league analysis mean?
by Vince851 month ago
Ivy League is considered the best of higher education, with some of the most prestigious liberal arts education in the world. Analysis can be the dissection and understanding of art or literature. So essentially the best analysis you can hope for.
by Eliza951 month ago
Not everything needs to be a thorough analyisis that opens up discourse around the philosophy of art. Some people just don't like Forrest Gump. I mean, they're wrong cause it's objectively an amazing movie, but to each his own
by Active-Coach-63711 month ago
I agree, but nothing at all is pretty far away from a thorough analysis lol

My unpopular opinion is that I don't get why Pulp Fiction is so lauded. It's good, I just don't get why it's up there as "one of the best". Tarantino has made way better films.

Lmao, man literally went on the classic insufferable hipster "ugh, all the non-fans started liking him because of his most popular work, unlike the real fans like me who liked him before it was cool" and you think it was a good take worthy of respect?

True Romance is so fantastic. I love how just about every character, no matter how little screen time, is played by a gem. The epitome of an underrated movie.

I agree. I think FG and Shawshank were amazing. Pulp Fiction is not up there with the other two imo.

The film is literally mostly talking….if Pulp Fiction is too violent for you then you haven't seen many films lol
by Johnscole1 month ago
Have you seen some 80s movies? Violence in movies has been more hardcore than Pulp Fiction since the 70s.

If you're not American, it's because Americans loooooove the cheesiness of the movie. My American friend who strongly defends the movie as not at all overrated also loves all the cheesy 50-70s musicals. It's a culture thing.

by Anonymous1 month ago
Actually now that I think about it, he did a good job voicing more than one character on The Polar Express
by arnoldo061 month ago
cause he's an amazing actor. silently crying in Saving Private Ryan. His incredible performance in Captain Philips and Cast Away. The dude can act

I love all of them. But you're right that either Shawshank Redemption or Pulp Fiction deserved best picture
by Susannaswaniaws1 month ago
Shawshank Redemptiom was a slow burner, I think most of us discovered it through repeat airings on TV. Surprised Forrest Gump won best picture though, it doesn't seem that kind of film. Not that it matters too much tbh.
by Anonymous1 month ago
Forrest Gump is just a feelgood movie.
by Senior_Apple1 month ago
Forrest Gump seemed like an OK "poignant" movie if you're in the mood for something sorta sappy like that. Which was then absolutely ruined by the endless "HaHa look- Forrest invented the Pet Rock!" "Haha look- Forrest was actually the person at the grassy knoll!" "Haha look- Forrest actually saved the crew of Apollo 13!"

Read the book. Then re-watch the movie.

I agree, actually. I never vibed with that movie, even when all my peers and adults were going on about it.
by AnyAspect1 month ago
Forrest Gump is bad. Period.
by Content-Reporter1 month ago
It was made by Tarantino? What? Ironic since there's a scene with a naked-footwear-wearing woman.
by Total-Web-18041 month ago
That's funny, because I don't understand all the hype over Shawshank redemption. It's an ok movie but I don't think it's that good.
by schusteremie1 month ago
I'd have Pulp Fiction as the best of the 3 but Forest Gump is next. They're all great.
by Any_Village1 month ago
Broey Deschanel did a great video essay on the conservatism in Forrest Gump, you might enjoy it. I'm not a fan of the movie either because of really weird and problematic portrayals of a lot of things which is somehow rarely talked about.
by OrdinaryInternet1 month ago
I see Shawshank and Forrest as 2 of the most overrated movies, and Pulp Fiction as one of the best. Opinions eh...
by Anonymous1 month ago
That's just, like, your opinion man
by hermannalize1 month ago
What is it about Shawshank which you rate it so highly? It's an ok story, acting is ok, characters are a bit generic for me.
by Anonymous1 month ago
It's a Stephen King story with an actual ending.
by Anonymous1 month ago
When was the last time you watched it? It's entirely possible you watched it at a time when you had predispositions about it. I have rewatched many films that I did not like from my younger years and wondered what the hell I was thinking. There is something beautiful about Shawshank. Maybe it's the storytelling. The music. The atmosphere. The triumph. Probably altogether. I would try to give it another go, with an open mind. It really is a joy to watch. To each his own, though.
by SweetTotal34811 month ago
Why?
by Reasonable-Winner1 month ago
I don't get Shawshank or Gump either. I mean they're fine but nothing great.
by Anonymous1 month ago
Yeah they're fine, don't get the hype myself.
by Anonymous1 month ago
Is it still highly regarded though? I'm under the impression that these it's considered to be somewhat "problematic" and a sentimental nostalgia bait film. Plus also that people think it wasn't a worthy Best Picture winner.
by Direct_Fisherman1 month ago
Fully agree. The book was also mid .
