What are your movie hot takes?
For me, The Grave of the Fireflies was more infuriating than sad because of Seita’s decisions that eventually lead to his and Setsuko’s fate. The war was a catalyst for their circumstance, but it was Seita’s responsibility as a parental figure to provide Setsuko what she needed instead of just what she wanted.

Avatar was visually stunning, but overall felt pretty copy-paste. Overrated.

Sometimes American remakes of old movies are worse than the classics.

They almost always are, I would say.
John Carpenter's The Thing is the only good one I can think of, and hardly anyone knows the original exists.

Seven Samurai > Magnificent Seven
Yojimbo > Fistful of Dollars
Himmel uber Berlin > City of Angels
La Boheme > Rent
Day of the Triffids > 28 Days Later
etc, etc.

I suppose Kill Bill was more or less on par with Lady Snowblood.

Many of the highly rated western movies I've been recommended aren't actually good.
-Star wars
-Shawshank redemption
-Sopranos
-Scar face
-The green mile
-Forrest Gump
-Brokeback Mountain
-The only thing good about O Brother, Where Art Thou? was the 'I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow' song.
That’s an interesting opinion but there are reasons why they are liked.

Fun fact but George Lucas thought Star Wars was gonna flop but it became a great hit… like… Taylor Swift great…

Hitchcock couldn't make a good ending to save his life.

Scarface man. Who is the guy who comes in at the end and kills him? He's ever seen before in the film so there's no build up. It's just "ooh look this guy has sunglasses on at night, he must be cool/dangerous".

The emotional climax of BLOWOUT, John Travolta crying into this dead girlfriend's arms as loads of fireworks go off around him. Makes it look like an episode of Police Squad.

Do I just hate De Palma?

Indiana jones 4 was NOT a bad movie nor it should be downplayed due to the existence of interdimensional beings. It was a proper Indiana Jones movie. Personally, i put the 4th installment ABOVE the 2nd one, behind the First and Third installments.

Superhero films are recruitment posters for undercover police work and intelligence work. And they're aimed at kids. Or people who like comic book hero stuff.

Some films I wanted was to examine political power, and how some people justify their criminal behavior with social tropes; "I was abuse", "I suffered bigotry", "my peers or parents didn't love me" and so forth, and how they fit the political scene and disrupt it.

But Hollywood or the film industry doesn't allow films with those themes to be made, lest it get misinterpreted as socially negative or irresponsible. Like I told someone very high up in the government, I don't hate movies, I don't hate people who make movies, but I wonder what Thomas Jefferson or Benjamin Franklin would say if they were alive today and saw how mass media is policed and abused. I wonder if they or John Adams would have some insight that no one here has thought of.

Lucas's "The Empire Strikes Back" showed me that, if allowed, I could turn all those fantasy and scifi games I played in the 1980s into blockbuster films. But, something like the Paramount-Disney coproduction "Dragonslayer" shows that the film industry is locked in a doctor like rehab rut. Dragonslayer, when you strip it down, is about a delusional young man who believes in dragons and magic, and needs to kill a dragon to save himself and everyone else. He's set up with a woman to watch after him in the end. It's all presented as the reality of the story, but it's based on some real world case with some delusional young man .... if I had shot it, it would have been a traditional heroic knight off to kill the thing with the rest of the cast helping and supporting him. But they don't make those movies.

The last such film was Sleeping Beauty.

In short all the movies you see now are mental health rehab films, or service recruitment posters. Thor, Loli, Batman, Spiderman in all his iterations, that CGI puppy superhero film ... whatever.

But I'm glad games dethroned movies as entertainment. Games give you more freedom. A good movie is still a decent thing though.

There is only one decent movie about blue people living in harmony with nature being attacked by technologically advanced invaders who are after resources.

How does that make a film stupid?
Because typical Miyazaki loves demonizing the US, even though he signed a deal with Disney to distribute his films on home-vid, and he also frequents certain kinds of bars in the US while being obsessed with female anatomy.

I have to begrudgingly admit that I liked his films, but was puzzled by certain aspects of them. Now I know him a bit better, and ... it's being a devout atheist and discovering the girl you really liked is a Mormon. It's a tough divorce without actually being married ... thank goodness, because otherwise you might've lost your shirt.

Grave of the Fireflies was Isao Takahata, not Miyazaki.
