Same here. I used to drink 2% milk from a cow until I found out it comes from the females. Now I only drink my own cum. It’s really important to me that I keep it completely male made
This is the sigma grindset. For years now I have only drank MALE cum, like a true alpha. I prefer to drink from the source, which helps as it enables me to strengthen the bond between me and my fellow chads.
>Attracted an audience that hates both. How did they do it?
I mean, the movie didn't really attract that audience, the "sigma male" mentality meme the redpilled audience, the movie just got related to it by proxy since the Sigma Male meme resembled Patrick Bateman's so much.
t was neither it's intended target audience, nor an audience that existed back when the movie came out.
If in 10 years a new stupid meme comes out called, idk, "Wage Guy", about a dude that has troubles at work or getting work, and also happens to hate minorities, people could relate it to Tobey Maguire's Spider-man despite the movie having absolutely 0 to do with hating minorities. (Except for those weird Sam Raimi symbolisms. What did he mean by those?)
My top 10 films directed by women:
1. Little Women
2. Little Women
3. Little Women
4. Little Women
5. Little Women
6. Little Women
7. Little Women
8. Little Women
9. Cocaine Bear
10. Little Women
I still think about how PureFlix made an official Mockbuster Little Women film a year before the big budget one was made to beat them to the punch and had it be a "modern retelling" so they could cheap out on it, too.

I’m glad my favorite action movie of all time is so completely manly and testosterone fueled the only woman is a 10/10 tomboy. Wait? Directed by who?
https://preview.redd.it/vngr9j346gma1.jpeg?width=810&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d6c5b1897153b484db4b602459057d32ecd28130
This is unironically one of the best movies of all time. Action, comedy, romance, quotes for days, Gary Busey, this movie legitimately fucking has it all.
Hey wanted to let you know, I watched Strange Days because of this comment and holy shit i fucking loved it so much my top 4 Cyberpunk movie as of yesterday, thanks a lot
A beautiful film that I wish I could share with people but I honestly don't know many people IRL who would enjoy it. Kinda thought of putting a screening of it together so people can pay me to see it lol
The specific list you are talking about is the Sight and Sound list. It topped a list made by film writers, academics, historians and archivists, what did you expect?
If you poll literature historians and academics on the best books of all time, stuff like the Iliad, the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Divine Comedy and the Canterbury Tales will top the list.
If not directed then at least edited by. Sally Menke, Dede Allen, Thelma Schoonmaker, Anne V. Coates\* and Verna Fields have contributed to more than their fair share of masterpieces.
Editing is wildly undervalued as a skill, which is presumably why women have been allowed to do it for so long, and it's vital. Sally Menke for example made Tarantino movies concise and watchable, with apparently no help from him if The Hateful Eight is any indication.
\*Not for Laurence of Arabia, but for Raw Deal.
If you haven’t, check out the Woodstock documentary from 1970. It has like 6 or 7 credited editors, Thelma Schoonmaker and Scorsese among them, and it’s among one of the most wildly energetic and entertaining music movies ever made - the way it uses the space of the screen and multiple perspectives at once is honestly revolutionary.
Titane.
A Woman has sex with a Car and is also a Serial Killer...and that’s not even the crazy stuff that happens. It’s French and Directed by a Woman.
Béla Tarr co-directs with his wife Ágnes Hranitzky for the most part, even if she isn't credited by name. [Letterboxd's Women Directors: The Official Top 250 Narrative Feature Films](https://letterboxd.com/jack/list/women-directors-the-official-top-250-narrative/) list includes Wreckmeister Harmonies and The Turin Horse. So Béla Tarr movies do kill 2 birds with one stone.
It also includes City of God which had a uncredited women director.
Girlfriends (Claudia Weill)
Daisies (Vera Chytilova)
The Blue Light (Riefenstahl)
Suspense (Lois Weber)
Shoes (Lois Weber)
Portrait of Jason (Shirley Clarke)
One way or another (Sara Gomez)
Cléo from 5 to 7 (Agnès Varda)
The gleaners and I (Agnès Varda)
Someone did some great women directors already, here is some more popular + mainstream movies directed by women
Wayne's World (Penelope Spheeris); Point Break, Near Dark, Strange Days (Kathryn Bigelow); The Matrix movies, Bound, Speed Racer (The Watchowski's); American Psycho (Mary Harron); Marie Antoinetee, Virgin Suicides, Lost in Translation (Sophia Coppolla); Lady Bird, Little Women (Greta Gerwig); Laggies, Humpday (Lynn Shelton); The Parent Trap, What Women Want, Something's Gotta Give, The Holiday, The Intern (Nancy Meyers); American Honey (Andrea Arnold); Sleepless in Seattle, Julie and Julia, You Got Mail (Nora Ephron); Frozen 1 + 2 (Jennifer Lee); The Farewell (Lulu Wang).
I've excluded popular women directors like Jane Campion and Kelly Reichardt who movies are pretty accessible but also very slow paced. But you could watch any of the above movies and probably enjoy them all without feeling like it is something you'd see in an arthouse cinema or on Criterion for the most part.
I never really worry about what the gender of the director of the films I watch is, so while I watch films from other countries (and I know they’re foreign because… well, it’s obvious) I can’t really say that I “seek out” films made by women. Nevertheless I can tell without checking my letterboxd that most of the movies I have watched are probably by men. Suggest good films by women please (and not just Greta gerwig)
Good filmmakers to start with: Agnes Varda, Celine Sciamma, Chantal Akerman, Sofia Coppola, Lois Weber, Sally Potter, Julia Ducournau, Sarah Polley, Gina Prince-Blythewood, Claire Denis, Alice Guy-Blache, Lynne Ramsey, Mia Hansen-Love, Ava DuVernay, Jane Campion, Nora Ephron, The Wachowski’s, Alice Rohrwacher, Joanna Hogg, Kelly Reichardt
Some one off films (not that the director’s other films aren’t good, I’m just not familiar with them): The Babadook, Loving Vincent, Fire of Love, Saint Omer, The Assistant, The Farewell, But I’m a Cheerleader, The Breadwinner, Mississippi Masala, Emma (2020), Jennifer’s Body, Aftersun, Persepolis, Promising Young Woman, Saint Maud, Shiva Baby, Leave No Trace, The Lost Daughter, Lingua Franca, Mudbound, The Watermelon Woman, Real Women Have Curves, Daisies, The Adventures of Prince Achmed, Girlfriends, Working Girls, Happening, Birds of Passage, Desert Hearts, Booksmart
Jennifer Kent's sophomore film The Nightingale warrants her being in the former column rather than The Babadook being a one-off. At least as a "one to watch" director seeing as she only really has two films.
That's why my favorite movie series is The Matrix. A series about a bunch of super cool manly dudes in cloaks doing super cool and manly dude stuff. Directed by a pair of super rad brothers who are definitely still super rad male dudes to this day.
The difference between a film made by a man vs a woman is so insignificant compared to the difference beween a film made in the US and a film made in South Korea.
The large difference in culture is a lot more interesting than the relatively small differences in perspective between a woman and a man.
Woman talking could have easily been directed by a dude.
You're trying to convince the same people who think Martin Scorsese, the man who helped launch the African film heritage project, is the face of everything wrong with the "filmbros". Their whole worldview is based on memes, there's no point talking to them because they'll just label you a filmbro and go on with their lives.
"Based" is a deesphobic term. This is the first warning, please absent from using it or face a ban.

genuinely do not think Portrait of a Lady on Fire can be the same without a lesbian director at the helm
Also iirc Park Chan Wook literally work with a female screenwriter to write the female perspective of his films
Sure, films are better if the director has detailed knowedge of the subject matter. Obviously there are some movies that women will make better than men. I believe the vast majority of films could be directed by a woman or man and they would be decently similar experiences. I don't think you need a vag to understand, write, or direct women. To me the gender of the director is 99% of the time entirely irrelevant.
The cultural background of a film is just so so much more relevant to the film than the gender of the director.
>Park Chan Wook literally work with a female screenwriter to write the female perspective of his films
Sure and I can 100% see a woman directing the handmaiden, just as I can easily see a man directing it as well.
This is true if we are living in a perfect world, yet we live in a patriarchal society that man and woman essentially have a different experience growing up. Not that man can't make a movie depicting the experience of a woman, yet not every filmmaker is empathetic enough to understand the experience of a different gender or even sexuality.
I mean, yea, But Bo Burnham can make a movie about a 13 year old girl and Mary Harron can make a movie about a hyper masculine serial killer. There are differences between the experiences of men and women in the west but it is nothing insurmountable to a talented filmmaker.
Unironically I found an article by Rotten Tomatoes for top movies made by women and I watched "My Life As A Courgette" from the list and that shit's goated
This sub has completely jumped the shark.
A movie's geographical origin is an immediate draw. I give approximately zero shits what the director has between their legs.
Yeah because we all know that good movies are judged by the gender of who made them, and because those "filmbros" don't like actual good movies made by someone like Chantal Akerman, Agnes Varda or Kathryn Biegelow.
Can't have an idea without using a label that doesn't even have a meaning.
Regardless of what anyone’s opinions are regarding inherent differences or similarities between men and women, the fact is that we live in a patriarchy where broadly speaking, men and women have different, unique experiences.
Just as people from Japan have a general, shared experience that is unique from that of Americans, women have a general, shared experience that is unique from that of men. Does that mean all people from Japan have identical or even remotely similar perspectives of the world? Of course not. Does that mean there aren’t huge overlaps and similarities between the people of Japan and America? Of course not. A Japanese filmmaker could make a film that has much more in common with typical American films than with typical Japanese films. And every Japanese filmmaker is going to have their own values and perspectives that will be reflected in their art. But none of that means that Japanese cinema isn’t worth studying or exploring.
Francis Coppola?! You mean director Sophia Coppola's father?
Lost in Translation > anything her dad directed
Truly one of the takes of all time
Chill
Love Lost in Translation but Apocalypse Now and Godfather are a million times better.
art is subjective friend there is no better
no
In this case You're objectively wrong
It's more racist than anything her dad directed too😎
godfather is racist against italians
Lost in translation in unironicaly the only movie i ever fell asleep during
I'm glad my favorite kino, American Psycho, is a completely male movie full of testosterone, made by a manly macho man
Written by notorious heterosexual Bret Easton Ellis.
Just like my fave Chuck Palahniuk author of literally me Fight Club
Directed by notable Alpha Male Mary Harron.
Mary? With that kinda name he must be extra masculine.
Mary is just shortened Marion which is the name of the manliest man John Wayne
M(ary) stands for MAN and H(arron) stands for HIM.
[удалено]
Yeah, he's kinda alt-right in general
Of course he’s a misogynist, he won’t even have sex with women, let alone respect them
His initials are literally "BEE"
> Literally “BEE” bees when they watch the bee movie
You better BEElievie it!
Same here. I used to drink 2% milk from a cow until I found out it comes from the females. Now I only drink my own cum. It’s really important to me that I keep it completely male made
This is the sigma grindset. For years now I have only drank MALE cum, like a true alpha. I prefer to drink from the source, which helps as it enables me to strengthen the bond between me and my fellow chads.
Me drinking female cum. Totally hetero. Not at all gay, nope
Directed by a woman, original source material written by a homosexual. Attracted an audience that hates both. How did they do it?
They assumed their audience will have a modicum of media literacy
>Attracted an audience that hates both. How did they do it? I mean, the movie didn't really attract that audience, the "sigma male" mentality meme the redpilled audience, the movie just got related to it by proxy since the Sigma Male meme resembled Patrick Bateman's so much. t was neither it's intended target audience, nor an audience that existed back when the movie came out. If in 10 years a new stupid meme comes out called, idk, "Wage Guy", about a dude that has troubles at work or getting work, and also happens to hate minorities, people could relate it to Tobey Maguire's Spider-man despite the movie having absolutely 0 to do with hating minorities. (Except for those weird Sam Raimi symbolisms. What did he mean by those?)
Violence and sex, finally a mature filmé for mature people such as myself (kill people burn shit fuck school!!!!)
Showing my age rn, but is this a fuckin Tyler the creator goblin reference? I can’t remember what song
Radical is the song
Same with Point Break
And 90's classic Wayne's World
Hey! What makes a man, is it the power in his hands? Is it his quest for glory? Give it all you got, to fight to the top, So we can know your story!
I’d have Little Women (2019) in my top ten a third time if I could
Greta Gerwig is my Christopher Nolan.
Christopher Nolan is my Greta Gerwig
Christopher Gerwig is my Greta Nolan
Greta Nolan is my Christopher Gerwig
My top 10 films directed by women: 1. Little Women 2. Little Women 3. Little Women 4. Little Women 5. Little Women 6. Little Women 7. Little Women 8. Little Women 9. Cocaine Bear 10. Little Women
I still think about how PureFlix made an official Mockbuster Little Women film a year before the big budget one was made to beat them to the punch and had it be a "modern retelling" so they could cheap out on it, too.
I let out a cheer in my theater when Bob Odenkirk came back from the war!
My favourite scene from Little Women (2019)? 
Cringe not picking the 1994 version
Get Out (2017)
one time a girl at work called me sexist and so I told her that two of my favorite movies are Lady Bird and Little Women which shut her up 😏😏
Did she get wet and wanting to do le sexy with you?

Wow, shots fired at her sister...

This is unironically one of the best movies of all time. Action, comedy, romance, quotes for days, Gary Busey, this movie legitimately fucking has it all.
I wasn’t jerking when I said favorite 10/10
Swayze's hair is an easy 10/10 alone
Keanu's character being named "Johnny Utah" makes it an 11/10
Being young and dumb makes me full of cum.
I strongly agree. It’s iconic and very quotable.
Point Break is chad tier cinema
Before Keanu could act, in other words, peak Keanu.
>Before Keanu could act He never could??

True filmbro
If you want a bit of both, try *Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du commerce, 1080 Bruxelles* (1975)?
Way to make them never watch a film made by a woman again.
One of the most boring movies I've ever seen. Beautifully shot, but so boring.
Wdym, I was on the edge of my seat when the potatoes started overboiling
Hello!? Spoiler!!! 😡
Citizen Kane (1941)
A beautiful film that I wish I could share with people but I honestly don't know many people IRL who would enjoy it. Kinda thought of putting a screening of it together so people can pay me to see it lol
listen i love that film but terrible fucking suggestion
i remember seeing that top a "best films of all time" list once and holy shit pretentious film nerds need to be chemically removed from the gene pool
The specific list you are talking about is the Sight and Sound list. It topped a list made by film writers, academics, historians and archivists, what did you expect? If you poll literature historians and academics on the best books of all time, stuff like the Iliad, the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Divine Comedy and the Canterbury Tales will top the list.
It's hell of a lot more interesting than just having Godfather, Vertigo, Citizen Kane, 2001 or Seven Samurai at no. 1 again.
Don't forget Tokyo story

That movie was so Raw (2016).
I'll never see a nipple piercing the same way
Petite Maman erasure
Sweetest film of the 2020s so far

Broke - Greta Gerwig Woke - Julia Ducournau FR thou if anyone wants to recommend some films made by women please do!

Unironically yes
Made me check. My top 100 had 1 movie directed by a woman: The Love Witch.
Unironically I found an article by Rotten Tomatoes for top movies made by women and I watched "My Life As A Courgette" from the list and that shit's goated
Nah I prefer my films to be super manly….like The Power of The Dog.
The Matrix, obviusly

Tell them to make better films? Idk 🤷♂️
Nah, women make great movies. They just don’t get the same opportunities that men do.
>Tell them to make better films? Idk weird response given how there's like 200 bad films made by men with every bad one made by women
There are at least 100 great woman-directed films.
That’s one for every woman on the planet
Women Talking was pretty damn well shot and acted.
It's this anyone's top ten though? The problems are that there aren't enough women directed movies and there aren't enough people watching them
Women peaked at The Ascent
The Ascent truly is extraordinary. The Metamorphosis of Birds is my favorite woman directed contemporary film. I also love Reichardt.
The Nightingale (2018) is still #1 though Grave (2016) is somewhere on the list. (Get extra points for having Blood Red Shoes in the soundtrack)
Some of my favourite movies are made by women like Kathryn Bigelow and Sofia Coppola.
Just checked and all of my top 20 movies are directed by men except for The Matrix...
The Hurt Locker is in my top 10 movies so I don't have this problem
