Thinking about Gummo again (thanks RM! :shake: ) and I think there's an obvious link between that and Beau is Afraid. Both are petulant films made my directors in a bod mood who want to piss all over the people watching it. They're both super mean spirited. I wonder if all of the movies I hate with a burning passion have that quality...

But it's hard for me to think of a ton of movies that I flat out hate. So, I don't know.

I was gonna make a "favorite pessimistic movies" thread, but I'm not sure what would qualify...

I don't think Beau is Afraid ultimately qualifies.

Whiplash is my go-to here. To me, that movie has always been about the tremendous power of hate. It's more powerful even than love, even when your goal is to better yourself or to create something beautiful.


I'd need to think to come up with others
