Already seen that years ago, don't usually like to rewatch stuff. I have it on my shelf though.
I'm gonna try to have a more positive attitude. Maybe I'll start by at least watching classic TV and movies instead of reddit reading videos 24/7 while I game.

I think CoM has a good spot for rewatchability, with a third of it being really good single shots. Have you ever watched Brazil?
Anthony Miller
Yeah, I have, been a good 5+ years though. Thanks for the recs though man. I've been sad lately, a lot. I'm not sure if dark, cynical political movies will really help but at least it's better than the apathy of YT autoplay.
Ethan Collins
Was it the directors cut? That's the only real version to watch. I wouldn't say it's a dark film, even though it is on paper. It's a satire of the British state. np fam Have you ever seen Dr Strangelove? That's probably the peak of dark but hilarious. People always get mad at me for saying it's Kubrick's best film
Alexander Cruz
Of Brazil? Dunno, don't really remember.
I dunno man, I'm in a bad place I think. A sad ending will just make me sad about the narrative of the movie, and a happy ending will just make me sad about real life not living up. So it seems I can't win.
And yes, I love Strangelove. It's certainly the best of Kubrick I've seen, but then again I can't really stomach the perfectionism and long pointed silences kind of filmography he's more known for.
Oliver Torres
There's two cuts of Brazil, the cinema cut where he escapes with everyone and they all live happily ever after. Then there's the director's cut where all of this turns out to be him dissociating himself from reality and imagining it all as he's trapped in a torture room as he's killed over hundreds of trumped up charges from destroying a fleet of company cars (after crashing one) and culminating in him wasting company time *turns over page* and paper.
I can't even think of any light British films, do we have any besides romcoms?
Josiah Morris
Oh, yeah, I saw the torture ending lol. That's kind of what I was referring to as being depressing heh.
I dunno, I'm not really asking for a light movie, just lamenting my own mental frailty.

You need to put it to the back of your mind, you're in a safe environment and you're not doing anything foolish. If anything bad happens then we're all along for the ride.
Michael Myers
What do normie yuropians think of latin america and Brazil especificaly? What are your thoughts on Brazil? The Brazillian position on Brexit is that it was a fucking mistake and you guys are fucked, even communists are cringing at the idea of Brexit, it was handled so poorly that libertarians have literally are incapable of having an opinion on this whatsoever.
Adrian Gonzalez
I dunno, it seems as if every Brazilian institution is falling apart under rampant corruption, but then again in the first world we're just more polite at being able to hide it. I worry for my comrades under Bozo and for the Amazon in particular. Hopefully his government will topple soon but I sort of doubt it.
