It's cool how everyone is finding something so different.
That's my favorite thing about really good movies.
David Lynch is really good a this
Lynch, tarkovsky.
2001 a space Odyssey.
And French surrealist or French new wave film.
I love when I can show a film to a group of people and literally everyone comes out thinking the movie is about something different. And you have them explain said some how every explanation makes sense even though for years you thought your explanation was what made sense.

100% films like these, they hold up a mirror to the audience that then personifies and personalizes the narrative. It’s remarkable.
Since you're interested in movie night I'll say it like this nostr:npub17xu3rtcu0ftqw03mswa8a2ngz3nsgrs0h0wjv4z942qwvhp8fs3qzcadls
These are what I call perfect films.
There's many great films! Very good! But there's very few perfect films.
And for me a perfect film is a film that you can take people too and afterwards without effort conversation spontaneously commences. And even if you've seen the film a million times, someone else's perspective usually shines a while new light on that film for you, EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
These films are usually by auteurs and they're usually surreal or have some heavy element of surreality to them.
But that's just my style.
So you see there's kind of 3 factors there.
There's many movies I absolutely love and would easily call a favorite. But it will only have 2 of the 3 and I never find myself calling it a perfect film.
But if you want a perfect film. Go watch Tarsem's the Fall. Go watch Mullholland Dr. Go watch 2001 a space Odyssey . Go watch Paprika by Satoshi Kon. Go watch Stalker by Tarkovsky. Go watch the Holy Mountain by Jodorowski.
You don't need to know what they mean. They will speak to you in some way.
And when you speak to others about what the film told you, that other person is going to tell you something completely different. And you will get a deeper understanding of the film, but be even more lost than you were before and the only way to fix that is to show more people and ask more people. 🤷🏽
If you're asking about TV shows go watch Dark, go watch Legion, to watch Man Seeking Woman. 🤷🏽
Brilliantly put and that’s how these perfect movies spread… almost like kind of a like a living form, using inquisitive humans to be survive in the collective consciousness.
