eh.. I don`t actually know how to explain this.. they have a story, but the main story is secondary in the film, in a way... examples: happiness of the katakuris lost in translation the life aquatic kung-fu hustle anyway, the question is: can anyone suggest movies that are.. like that, if you understand what I mean..? |

Did you trust your senses when you made this topic? The answer is: "Every porn movie made" |

yes, the topic didn`t smell funny, nor did it look like there was something wrong with anything I did. |

Sub plot become the most important issue, eh? Try, The Day the Earth Stood Still |

other wes anderson films like rushmore |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, not sub-plot.. it`s just.. those movies up there all made me laugh mostly because they weren`t really about anything in particular, making all the small details funny... bill murray has a knack for being in films like this... I`ll check the day the earth stood still. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
rushmore.. hmm, I actually think I have that, but have never seen it... thanks! the royal tenenbaums is another film of this type... and another bill murray film where he`s a spy who doesn`t know he`s a spy, but rather thinks he`s on a television show or something... |
||||||||

like, where the overall ambiance is the main character in the film? the specifics of what is going on are less important? hmm, there has to be a name for that genre of film. |

"mood film" sounds so gay... some artsy film student should come in here and set us cretins straight. |

yeah.. either that or zeus. |

i saw lost in translation yesterday. it was very sub par. the only good part was bill murray. if i could find the rate the films you see thread, i'd give it a 6/10 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
bill murray sure helps the film, yes, but the fact that it isn`t really about anything helps too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

it definitely didn't come out as being about nothing. i took it as follows... it was about two people. scarlett whatevers character (she was the worst part of the movie imo) just graduated college and didn't really have an idea of what she was going to do. this was mainly because of her husband, a photographer, who with she travelled. the other person, obviously, is bill murray. a popular actor (most likely no longer acting) who was doing a commercial for whiskey solely for the money. he had a bad relationship with his wife and children, and the trip to tokyo only made it worse. i just think it was trying to be artsy fartsy and didn't pull it off well at all (and i like artsy fartsy when done well) scarlett johansonn's character really pissed me off. she was in tokyo and just sat around the hotel room for the most part. go out and see some things. do some things. |

Try Wim Wenders' and old Jarmush's movies. Good choices would be "Himmel uber Berlin" and "Permanent Vacation", the second one beind a little bit boring though. I guess they fall in that genre of yours. |

scarlett johansonn's character really pissed me off. she was in tokyo and just sat around the hotel room for the most part. go out and see some things. do some things. You're a real go-getter, aren't you? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

i guess you fell asleep for the scenes of scarlett johannsens character going out and seeing things by herself...the temple and the garden for example. more important, though, is the significance of her choice to sequester herself in the hotel. it seems pretty pointless to just dislike a character for not choosing as you would choose. sometimes movies are about the lesser choices that people make, i think... |

alright, you, now go back and read the rest of my post! touche! y'know, they only had about a hundred minutes to show you what happened in tokyo...but i suppose it would have been cool if ninety minutes of that had been scarlett johnannsen's character going to the movies and watching "freddy got fingered" dubbed in japanese or something. her reaction shots would have been priceless... |

Withnail & I. They go on holiday (by mistake), then come home again, no real plot to speak of, but excellent film. |

just to clarify, that word was definitely "touche," with a missing accent, and not "douche." |

thanks guys! adding to the list! |

In addition to the other great films people have mentionned - and judging by your criteria - I guess Napoleon Dynamite is another film where the central plot really isn't that important. Nothing dramatic really happens, it relies solely on it's bizarre assortment of characters and a number of amusing set pieces to carry it through. |

sounds wondertastic! |

solaris and 2001: a space oddyssey do have significant storylines but you have to pay a lot of attention to them to figure out what is going on. I'd say overall the atmosphere and imagery is what counts most in these movies, as well as your own interpretation of things. i suck at trying to explain these things. anyway, both of these movies are just excellent. |

does the shawshank redemption count? (best film ever imo) city of god? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
OK, the perfect choice would be any Tarkovsky's or Sokurov's movie. Especially Russian Ark by Sokurov. This is a really hardcore meditative, mesmerizing movie with a simple plot which is only an excuse to make you think and shed some tears for the past. It's my favourite movie, cause it started my adventure with the Artsy-Fartsy. If you dare to watch it, try to get the 2CD RIP by vass. The others are blurred and don't do the movie justice. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Wait a moment, we're talking about titles that are not driven by plot, right? How the fuck would Shawshank or City of God count? I hate Shawshank goddamn it!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ah, and if Russian Ark is too much, than I think Stalker by Tarkovsky would do the trick. It's his most wordly widely webly respected movie. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Wait a moment; ''they have a story, but the main story is secondary in the film...'' in shawshank the story is about the inter-relationships and emotions of those pent up in prison (various sub stories). while the underlying twist isn't revealed until the end (the main story), no? in city of god, a true story (the main story), we see it through the eyes of one character (sub story). congratulations on demonstrating a distinct lack of a) taste; b) tact, and c) reason. |
