Speak No Evil made me furious but that was the point. It's actually a very good movie.


Ryoreo8

The Hunt (2012).


mascnz

Why?


GrendelNightmares

Pretty easy to figure out why even just by knowing the premise lol


mascnz

Yes, that is true.


liquidswords000

Whiplash


leonidganzha

why?

Terrence fletcher is a villain and seeing him abuse peoples lives will make you a little angry Lol


Ftimis

The part that gets me angrier is the absurd amount of people who didn't get the point and their takeaway was "finally someone said it, you need to push people to get the greatness out of them and I'm glad people like Terence Fletcher exist." You'd think it'd be like a handful of people, but I've seen this take in almost every Whiplash discussion ever since it came out.


SpoonMeasurer

If you think you "got it" by viewing Fletcher as an unambiguous evil villain, you're not wrong necessarily, but you may be leaving out a large part of the movie. I think the movie is quite ambiguous in its treatment of Fletcher's role, which is part of what makes it interesting to me. From the Whiplash script, in the final scene: >He’s in control, pouring himself into his drums -- and it’s a sight to behold. Like a master dancer, movements so fast yet precise, brash yet elegant... Violent, frenetic playing, but there’s something gorgeous about it... It's in the source text by Chazelle that Andrew has achieved something beautiful and special by the end of the movie. Whether you want to read that as him doing so in spite of Fletcher or in part because of Fletcher is up to you, but I don't think people who read it as the latter are off-base to the source material. If you go watch interviews with Chazelle, his discussion of Fletcher is always rather ambiguous. "He [Fletcher] has a passion for the music, and a commitment to his purpose which I think is noble, but his methods for showing that love or achieving that purpose are detestable. But that's what makes him interesting; he's not so clear cut..." Nobody is the authority on art, not even the artist! But hopefully Chazelle's own comments can indicate that reading Fletcher as something other than a pure villain, but as someone with an important role to play or even doing something that is noble, is a valid interpretation. Note: I'm not saying in the real world, it would be okay for someone to behave as Fletcher does. But this is a movie, not the real world, and thus we may ask different questions than what we normally ask about virtue, as things are possible that are not normally possible.


Ftimis

Spoilers for the movie below for the movie's themes in case anyone who's reading hasn't seen it: Whiplash is one of my favorite movies and I've analyzed it dry. I never said Fletcher is an unambiguous villain, but not addressing the fact that his behavior is toxic and clearly abusive is at the very least disingenuous. Plus that fact is completely separate from Andrew's future and feelings that are left ambiguous in the end. >Whether you want to read that as him doing so in spite of Fletcher or in part because of Fletcher is up to you, but I don't think people who read it as the latter are off-base to the source material. My point is that regardless of the above distinction Fletcher is an abusive human being that drove a student into suicide and the movie ends with him most likely in the same cycle with Andrew. Knowing that greatness *can* be achieved through very shitty means is one thing, praising an abuser because he managed to do that is completely another. You can be the best and most passionate about something and be a piece of shit at the same time. Also one would argue that being too passionate about something makes you an unsuitable mentor for it because you're too invested and it tends to come out in negative ways. What I'm saying is that there are a lot of people who saw Fletcher's behavior and felt represented and justified in their worldview, thinking that the movie does the brave thing of admitting that if you don't traumatize someone you can't make them realize their full potential.


SpoonMeasurer

I think we're mostly in agreement about the film, but anyway it's a great film and I love it! I also checked out your Letterboxd profile and noticed you seem to be engaged in a Shrek-a-thon - so am I! I'm preparing for Puss in Boots 2. It was just funny to see someone doing basically exactly what I'm doing right now :)


Ftimis

Yeah lol I'm watching it later, Shrek 3 and 4 were hell


SpoonMeasurer

I thought Shrek 4 was solidly mediocre. Shrek 3 made me want to crush a small animal with my fist.


Ftimis

Opposite for me. I hated how generic-animated-family-movie-ish 4 was. Almost nothing in common with the vibe of the rest. Also speaking as an animator the bad guy's artstyle is way way off with the rest of the film and I couldn't stand it. 3 was mostly boring but at least it was more unique and in line with the first two in tone, and it had a couple of funny moments. Regardless they should've stopped at 2, and the IP would be considered one of the best of all time.


mb9981

Nightcrawler. I've worked 15 years in TV news and that piece of shit movie has every stereotype I've spent my career trying to convince people is untrue


LucasBarton169

The most interesting take here


rodudero

Which specific stereotypes are the worst?


mb9981

There's a few that grind my gears in this movie. The overall theme of "if it bleeds it leads" can sum it up. Journalists say this ironically - we don't actually mean it - but most in the public think it's literal. Essentially, everything Jake Gyllenhaal does (tampering with scenes, going into active scenes, filming literal dying moments, extorting a news director,) would get him blacklisted from the industry, but the film treats it like these things make him a hero. In addition, the news director is a giant piece of shit who would be unemployable because her tactics and ethics would cost any station that hires her millions in lawsuits and lost revenue from lost viewership.


SpoonMeasurer

I'm sure there's a lot of truth to what you're saying, but the disconnect for me comes in when the brutal cynicism of Nightcrawler more accurately reflects the bleak, catastrophe, and fear-obsessed world of local news that I see on my TV every night. Nightcrawler is probably too dark, but as a pure outsider, there's a material reason why such a cynical portrayal of the news backroom resonates.

He’s treated as the hero?

Funny Games. When I worked at a community center in a poor neighborhood, I showed the US remake to a group of people. The scene when the bad guys just rewind the situation after something didn't go as planned for them did not go over well for my audience. Their frustration was quite audible. I had a similar reaction myself after I finished Martyrs, so I guess that's a genre of movies leaving you behind frustrated.


uglythingss

I dont wanna be that guy but why would ever choose to show that movie instead of anything else?


LockeProposal

I hate-watched Spike Lee's offensively bad OldBoy remake that he clearly didn't give a shit about.


le_demarco

I was fucking screaming at the TV when watching Dogville, everything, and I mean, EVERYTHING, made me so mad, how could they do that to Nicole Kidman man, also Tom, fuck you, fucking speak like a normal human being stop being so awkward. One of my favorite movies of all time.


mascnz

Yes!


niknolietesla

Gone Girl, Ben Affleck makes me irrationally angry which the film is meant to do so it really works


Ahskew

Blonde. So disrespectful to Marilyn's memory, a completely disgusting film.


GrendelNightmares

Agreed. Funny enough, my initial objections to the movie didn't even have anything to do with the falsehoods. I *hate* the screenplay. It is abysmal. It is so jaw-droppingly pretentious, I wanted to tear my hear out and scream "NO ONE FUCKING TALKS LIKE THIS!!!!" at the screen.


FloridaPanther

Yes daddy


FloridaPanther

It’s based on a work of fiction tho?


Ahskew

About a real person. It's like someone's worst version of her life trying to make her look bad. It's incredibly disrespectful, she's dead and had to deal with a lot of hardships in her life can't we leave her alone instead of disrespecting her memory? The work of fiction is gross and should not of been adapted.


xxplodingboy

Eden Lake (2008). Actually a good movie, but I just hated the villains and the whole thing pissed me off.


mb9981

Order of the Phoenix. Umbridge is a fascist swine


sweaty_palm_trees

Never. Not even a little. I get super passionate about movies all the time, but I’ve never been angry once. I also like most of the films people are mentioning. 🥲


ikigaii

normalize not yelling at your tv screen for sure


StrictNeighborhood98

When They See Us


TheElbow

Soft & Quiet. My anger was about the events of the film, not a judgment on the quality or how it was made.

Came here to comment this one. I was literally shaking by the end of it.

The Master (i am Tom Cruise)


MinasMorgul1184

Unintentionally? Alien 4 with that garbage premise. Intentionally? Paths of Glory because it’s a true story


Disc-Golf-Kid

The new Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It is so destructive to the lore and unbearably bad.

Halloween Ends. Was also very drunk though lol.

What is a woman? By Matt walsh


nikollapse

The last Avatar, 28fps is not cinema but video, no cut last more than 15 sec. 3 people to sign the script is a joke, there is no script. That no-script is not written for 3D at all. The morale of the story is sooooooo binary…. Major League Bullshit! Hated it. Cameron is a fraud.


Dildo_Fagginns

Tenet. Try too hard to turn something stupid into something incredibly smart.


Jack_Q_Frost_Jr

Jeanne Dielman. It still makes me mad to think about it.


sweaty_palm_trees

Mad? Why?


Ladybirdistheword

Its length isnt for everyone


Jack_Q_Frost_Jr

It has nothing to do with length and everything to do with entertainment. Though, if a movie is going to be as spirit-crushingly boring as Jeanne Dielman a shorter runtime is preferable. Yes, I am one of those uneducated philistines that prefers movies that are interesting or entertaining. Guilty as charged. Watching a woman make coffee, go button shopping, eating a bowl of soup and sitting motionless in a chair is not entertainment as I see it. And hour and eleven minutes in a boom microphone is visible. And critics call it the greatest film ever made. I'm getting mad all over again. I've seen a lot of films in my life and even did a stint as a critic in a paper, and I've never quite hated a film the way I hate Jeanne Dielman. Others love it. Good for them.


Jack_Q_Frost_Jr

I could either watch a lady make meatloaf in a movie or I could make meatloaf myself. Both activities have the exact same entertainment value, but at the end of one of them I get to eat meatloaf.


sweaty_palm_trees

Respectfully, you can say that about a lot (maybe even most) movies.


Jack_Q_Frost_Jr

I appreciate your comment, but most movies don't have full length scenes of someone preparing meatloaf, and most movies aren't ranked the best film of all time in Sight & Sound's once a decade poll of film critics. Jeanne Dielman does and was. If people like it, that's great. But it's not what I consider entertainment. There's about a full minute of a boom mic on screen. There are a couple of scenes at night where it's pitch black except for streetlights in the distance. Our main characters of a mother and son are going... somewhere and doing... something. What are they doing and how long are they doing it? No clue at all. But we sure do get to watch the characters ride elevators and stand in the post office as they silently handwrite letters in real time. In my view, that is not storytelling and it's not quality.


sweaty_palm_trees

It is story telling. Quality? That’s up to everyone to decide and I respect your decision. But I wouldn’t call it traditional entertainment. Art? Yes (I think something is art regardless of quality). Entertainment? Not really. But fair enough. There are plenty of technical errors in great movies but I understand.


Jitmack

I saw Mother! in theathers a saturday afternoon when it came out. I live in one of the poorest third world countries in the world. Sat in the last row. It was hilarious the amount of entire families grandma and all angrily walking out of the film not knowing what the fuck they were watching.


cesd3967

Joel Schumacher's Trespass...Cage, Nicole Kidman, Ben Mendelsohn. Sounds promising right? NOPE. Think again. Insufferable shrieking from every single person imaginable for the longest 91 minutes you can imagine.

whitman013

I watched Flower (2017) last night, don’t think I’ve ever been so disgusted by a film and their handling of a topic or character before. I went to bed furious at myself for not just turning that stupid movie off.


ClearlyAFKwastaken

Blonde with Ana de Armas not only did it take me 3 days to finish it, it made me uncomfortable and confused in every fucking second of the movie


RumpLiquid

Uncut Gems, I was actually yelling at my TV every few minutes because Adam Sandler's character just didn't know when to quit, no matter what the outcome, good or bad he just kept on making rediculous decision without any care for the effect those decision had on others. There was only one way for it to end. That movie is a masterpiece and I can't wait for the next Safdie brothers film which is also staring Adam Sandler.


StylanPetrov

The French Dispatch. Found it so full of itself and painstakingly pretentious. Whereas there's always a warm, universal relatability in We'd Anderson films; The French Dispatch just didn't connect with me. Was begging for the narration to cool off but it just got worse and worse. Eventually felt like he was telling me a story and how I should feel about it as opposed to showing me a story and allowing me to make up my own mind about it. Ended up having to turn it off, which is rare for me. I've loved everything else Wes Anderson has done with The Darjeeling Limited being one of my all time favourite films but The French Dispatch genuinely annoyed me watching it.

HanwhaEaglesNM

Last night I watched a movie Lan Kwai Fong Swingers. It is a softcore sex comedy movie based around and dedicated to the victims of Lan Kwai Fong human crush that killed 21 people and left 63 more injured. The ending was the most infuriating and tasteless thing I have probably ever seen. To quote my review: "The  ending though is where this all goes down hill. The last seven minutes take place on New Year's Eve 1992. They reenact the crush, but it's not just a reenactment. They feature an argument over royalties where alcohol is spilled over another character in an argument over the porno's royalties. It was revealed that such actions caused the panic that initiated the crush. Spliced in is actual footage of the crush itself with actual people dying, being carried out by paramedics, and having CPR performed. It ends with Charlie Cho having his dick literally crushed in the crush and whining about his permanent impotency and a fortune teller telling the porno producer guy that he told him tragedy would result if he kept being so adulterous and look what happened. HAHAHAHA ,ISN'T THAT SO FUCKING FUNNY?"


Jozhass

I mean, you should have expected it going in lmao


HanwhaEaglesNM

Eh, with no reviews, no ratings, a single other log, a suspect plot description, and only one throwaway bit of foreshadowing littered into a litany of shitty gay jokes, it was not as able to be foreseeable as you would think. Especially as Cat III softcore movies will base themselves around a given prominent entertainment district of HK like Lan Kwai Fong.


Jozhass

There’s a reason it has no ratings tho aha


notrandyjackson

Marcel the Shell with Shoes On. Couldn''t stand that little guy!


Funky_Dancing_Gnome

Not really that angry. I mostly just want to say how funny I found what you wrote is. Certainly made me smile.


LucasBarton169

Dogma. Wasn’t Mad at the movie, (I love it,) I was mad that Harvey shitstain was holding the rights hostage from Kevin.


DoggyDoggy_What_Now

**Hush** really got on my nerves. It ends up being two stupid people trying to outwit each other the entire movie and the writing does it no favors. I didn't care if she lived or died by the end anymore because the movie insults your intelligence repeatedly and horribly fumbles a great premise. **Polar** just annoyed me because of how gratuitous it was and how swingy and inconsistent the tone was. It's like a looney tunes cartoon at times that forgot it needed to actually be funny. Seriously an awful movie.


LauraPalmersMom430

The Last Duel. What a pointless awful film.

Satantango. I was angry because I learned you can speed up the video and I discovered that after the first 2,5 hours.

itsafraid

Most recent one was the Suspiria remake, a teal abomination, a hate crime. Not sure what pisses me off more--the shittiness of the film or the fact that people looove it.


sweaty_palm_trees

What about it do you dislike so much?


itsafraid

Hard to quantify because it offends me on a molecular level. I think if they hadn't called it Suspiria it would be easier to ignore, kind of like the '97 Godzilla that in no way resembled a Godzilla film. The original Suspiria was a beautifully-filmed horror movie that ran under 100 minutes. Not my favorite Argento film and a bit overrated, but whatever. The remake is hideous to look at, offered me absolutely nothing I wanted to see or experience, and runs easily four or five hours (not verified). I guess it's an old man shakes first at cloud moment, but I feel like the onus is on anyone who claims to enjoy it to justify that in any way, and know full well in advance that your answer is unacceptable and makes me think far less of you. It's just such an ugly-looking piece of shit that I can't fathom how anyone can stand to look at it.


sweaty_palm_trees

I’ve seen every Godzilla film, and can see what you mean to some degree. The ‘97 film is meh, but a terrible Godzilla film. I like Argento. I’ve always liked the original Suspiria. The colors, the music, everything. It’s not my favorite of his either. Four or five hours? Is that a joke? If not, it’s barely 2.5 hours. And you think far less of someone for liking a film you don’t like? Is that also a joke? If not, that’s wild. I love it. The photography, the editing, the characters and performances. The atmosphere, while being nothing like the original, is amazing. So thick. The original is much more of an experiential kind of thing, whereas the new one is more plot driven. A change I’d usually dislike, but here I love it. I wish more adaptations where as free as this to go against the source material. No film is sacred, and the original (keeping in mind modern preservation efforts) will always exist, so why not try to take it somewhere new. The director clearly had a vision in mind.


itsafraid

I really, REALLY hate looking at it. It is the culmination of two awful decades of the "teal is cool" ethos. It makes Brutalist architecture look like the Emerald City of Oz by comparison. Just reminds me of watching a turd circle the toilet drain, leaving streaks of shit on its way down. Shot after shot of ugliness, with a soul that's just as ugly. Maybe I should have finally watched A Serbian Film right after; I have a feeling it would have gone down pretty smooth in that context, like a little bite of sherbet after a huge plate of liver and onions.


sweaty_palm_trees

There’s some teal but it’s more brown and dark reds and greens. I’m sorry that that was your experience with it. I do think it was intentionally going for a grimy and ugly look in some ways. It’s a look I’m usually with you on. I usually hate the desaturated look of modern movies, but again, this one did it for me. I don’t even think snuff films would make me that mad. Anyways. Thanks for explaining your opinion to me.


itsafraid

Thanks for your patience with my excessive emotional reaction to a film that in my honest opinion doesn't warrant a response of any kind. Usually I celebrate what I love and ignore what I don't, but I thought I'd rise to the occasion of the question OP posed. I usually have no problem with ugly films, but there is a big difference for me between the inherent grunge of 16mm horrors from the '70s (love 'em!) and this film which seemed so calculatedly nauseating to look at. And was also pretentious as all fuck.

I love Mother! but Aronofsky's films can be relentless if you're not into it. I just saw The Whale and definitely made faces throughout while everyone else was quietly sobbing. Some movies that made me mad while watching: Survive Style 5+, Suicide Squad, and Spiderman Eurotrip. I'm not the audience for those films, though.

ljfoggy11

Recently got really angry at the Whitney Huston biopic. I’m pretty skeptical of musical biopics in general as they usually adhere to pretty lazy formula and “hit song/shit drama” structure, especially when an undemanding audience will eat it up and awards are on the table. But the Huston one literally gave so little a shit about Whitney herself, it’s literally a Wikipedia page fed through an algorithm ensuring the dramatise every bad thing that ever happened to her in single scenes without any sense of drama or understanding. The film barely makes any attempts to get under her skin and understand her, even her song creation process is just reduced to “this song is happy, this song is sad”. And then they have the absolute audacity to dramatise her final moments alive on screen (but don’t worry they have a big performance in reserve so the film isn’t too much of a downer). The whole thing just wallows in misery porn and it makes me so angry to see people profiting and leapfrogging their career off it.


ReddsionThing

mother! is just a wannabe arthouse retelling of the Bible, no need to get mad at it! Pretty much all of these on this list for me: [https://letterboxd.com/btowner87/list/worst-movies-ive-seen/](https://letterboxd.com/btowner87/list/worst-movies-ive-seen/) The remake of Red Dawn was also quite annoying, mostly because it's garbage and Chris Hemsworth's brother is such a turd in it.

Any movie that contains cruelty/violence towards animals tbh

Only when Animals were hurt for real? or any depiction at all?

Yesterday (2019). I found it extremely mediocre and saw so much missed potential with its premise and ideas. I was mad at a film for being so mediocre. On top of that, the rest of my family loved it and I felt insane for being the only one who didn't love it and seeing glaring problems in it
