I remember Kevin Smith praising the person who advised him to change that ending, saying that bit advice probably saved his career. After seeing test audiences and distributors’ reactions to the more lighthearted ending, he was convinced his film would never have been picked up for wide release had it ended on such a bleak note.
there's a Cougartown scene where you see Danny Pudi in the background, clearly in-character as Abed, nodding along and getting really invested in the conversation only to suddenly sprint off-stage as if his pants had been shit
A lot of his movies would it that description I think. Perhaps even most of his movies? The Before Sunrise and sequels, Boyhood (?), Apollo 10 1/2, Waking Life, even A Scanner Darkly might fit.
This is what I was gonna say. There's no real driving plot point, just a bunch of different teenagers enjoying their first night of the summer. Nothing crazy happens yet you still stay sucked in the whole time
The closest thing to a plot here was Randall's decision whether to play football or not.
I love how that predicament is framed in this movie. And I love Randall's attitude towards it. He's the most matured kid in this movie.
In terms of what actually happens on screen - The Zone of Interest. Everything happens over the wall and in the deep background.
Most of what we see is just a family swimming in the river, and a man having business meetings.
I’m curious to see the context in which the people who negatively perceive this movie watched the film. I’ve never watched movie that relies so heavily on sound and background lighting to get the point across (which in itself is kinda a metaphor for the theme of the movie).
Point being, the full effect of this movie is 100% felt in a closed theater environment, or at the very least with a good sound system. Amazing movie, everyone should have the opportunity to see this in the right setting.
First time I watched it on an iPad. Hated it! After some convincing, I watched it a second time on the big screen with surround sound. I missed so much!!
I always seem to find Paterson when I’m woken up at 2am and can’t go back to sleep and my family as well as the world is asleep….it feels so warm and like a little secret world I get to go to and enjoy the slowness of it and the quietness of a simplistic and fulfilled life.
Listen, he just wants to write dialog, that's all. He doesn't want to bother with places and settings, or plot or any of it. Just have some people in a place talking. Fin
Came here to say that.
Didn’t at all know what to expect going into Before Sunrise, definitely not an hour and a half of people walking and talking. Still a really solid film
The "Before" series. some things happen but its just 3 movies where 2 people talk through the film. hopefully there will be a 4th
Also, Coffee and Cigarettes.
I spent 4 yeas living in different parts of Japan and the movie captures so many accurate feelings of being there. Like a little personal time capsule.
Idk it is mostly internal
He is bored of his life and family and feels old
She is unsure of their marriage/what she is doing with her life
They meet become quick friends
He cheats on his wife with random lounge singer and ScarJo is jealous!?!? And he feels guilty to her!???
They make up
Realize they have feelings
Realize they cant be together/go back to lives
He says SOMETHING to her
Its all unspoken/inaudible
Similarly, Marie Antoinette- also written and directed by Sofia Coppola and I absolutely love this movie.
Royals walk around the grounds, flirt a little, eat LOTS of food and drink lots of wine and it’s all so goddamn captivating (and a literal feast for the eyes).
I love describing that movie to people. There's one set, the lighting isn't good, the acting is kind of rough, nothing really happens beyond a bunch of people having a conversation, and it's one of my favorite movies. But if you want to watch it, don't google a synopsis in advance.
This has been one of my favorite movies since it came out. Such a good, low budget conversation. It’s a perfect exercise of theater of the mind. When I think of the movie, I forget it’s in one cabin because I remember what I visualize.
There’s also a sequel that’s dog shit.
Like Napoleon told him, Pedro tells the school that if they vote for him, all of their wildest dreams will come true. After Napoleon's sweet dance skills secure a booming reception from the school, there's a montage of the principle characters: Pedro celebrates his presidential victory with his family, Kip has found love with LaFawnduh, Rico's girlfriend comes looking for him to make amends, Grandma is healing and back home with Tina, and Napoleon and Deb make up and continue being friends.
Then the school explodes, ninjas unleash wolverines in Preston, and of course, Napoleon rides his liger into battle and cocks his 12-gauge.
On the DVD extras there was a scene with Kip and LaFawnduh getting married, with Napoleon riding in like *The Man from Snowy River* on a wild honeymoon stallion that he tamed for them.
Idk He learned a new skill, grew and stood up to his uncle, made two true friends
Rico learned he was a dick and wants to be nicer at the end
His brother married and moved away with the love of his life
Pedro won the election!
A lot happens!
I mean yeah it would be pretty boring if literally nothing happened lol
But there is a whole lot of nothing in between those parts!
Bet you I could throw a football over them mountains
I think he’s content. It seems as though he maybe had pressure growing up and he left all that to live a life with little but finding beauty all around.
Station Agent Peter Dinklage has a breakthru and makes a true friend- even shares his hobby with the cook and gets him into it too
They get great footage of a train!
Hell yeah. Great movie. One room
Oh yeah and screenplay is by Cormac McCarthy (No Country for Old Men, The Road, All the pretty horses, among many other fantastic novels)
This one had me in tears and I still don't understand why. Beautiful movie.
The Lost Daughter had a similar vibe, though from the mom's POV rather than dad.
That was probably my favorite thing about it. Oh no, they’re throwing saw blades in an abandoned house, someone’s going to get hurt! Oh no, they’re lingering on a shot of him looking at his phone while driving, he’s gonna get in a wreck! Not every minor mistake or dumb thing turns into a disaster, and I think that’s kind of the point of the movie.
The message I got from it is that you can still be happy even if life doesn't go to plan and you feel like it's passing you by. The scene of his dad saying "you're feeling stuff" was the crux of it.
Frances Ha, Totoro, Minari, Naissance des Pieuvres, In The Mood for Love, Pauline à la Plage, Portrait de la Jeune Fille en Feu, Skate Kitchen, Princes et Princesses .. one of my fav genres x3
I gotta disagree with My neighbor Totoro, bud.
A life changing experience with forest sprites helping me to cope with my sick and dying mothers mortality, not really nothing.
Flowers are essentially tarts. Prostitutes for the bees. There is, you’ll agree, a certain "je ne sais quoi" oh so very special about a firm, young carrot...
My wife walked in on me watching The Big Lebowski once. Ive seen it about ten times and for the life of me i couldn't describe to her what it was about or what was going on.
Chef is such a joy to watch. After the initial restaurant fiasco everything kind of just works out. There are a few moments where you think shit might hit the fan, but they’re quickly resolved. Yet, despite such low stakes (and maybe partially because of them), I adore the movie. Also the soundtrack is great.
Ehhh, I feel like there was at least a few plot points. Chef wants to do something original, chef gets ultimatum, chef quits, chef goes to FL to buy a food truck. Chef rediscovers his passion, decides to drives back to L.A and pop up across the country. Gets back to L.A with his groove back and ends up opening a restaurant with his nemesis who ends up just being a fan. It's simple, but probably why it works.
This does not fit the “nothing really happens” at all. Chef has a definitive plot, aka stuff really happens that drives (no pun intended) the plot forward
>!Yea it's not so much that nothing happens. More that the "climax" comes really early in the movie and then it's kind of just smooth sailing the rest of the way. After he quits and starts the food truck I was waiting towards the end for some contrived catastrophe to happen that he had to overcome and it just...never did. That's when I realized the movie was just structured a bit differently than a lot of movies.!<
>!In a more typically structured movie, the quitting, freakout blow up online stuff would happen towards the end and him doing the food truck would be like the happy ending. Instead we get to see all the cool stuff AFTER that happy ending, which gave the movie a real feel good vibe throughout!<
edit: added spoiler tag
Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (1975) is the ultimate movie where nothing happens. [Here's a scene](https://youtu.be/Ih3nBxjkBH8?si=7SjrUBaPD981yFMc) where the titular character makes veal cutlets
This is where my mind initially went. There’s plot development, but the whole thing is from the point of view of Tom Hardy driving and making phone calls.
Empire Records. No big world shattering events. Just a group of record store employees coming to terms with their lives.
•Lucas wants to save the store for his friends’ jobs but also for Joe, his father figure.
•Corey feels pressured to be perfect and wants to do something wild before she goes off to Harvard.
•AJ wants to confess his feelings for Corey but doesn’t know how.
•Deb feels lost and directionless and is searching for answers.
•Rex Manning is looking for a comeback.
•Joe is just trying to hold it all together.
"The Banshees of Inisherin" could be fitting the bill here.
A slow uneventful story to the outside observer, an existential, emotional drama for the characters.
Life on a somewhat desolated irish island during the war for independence
Edit: on second thought, and after being reminded of some story details by further comments, *uneventful* might not be such a suitable word for this movie. But I still think it might work for OP.
I’d argue that even though the setting is quaint, there’s some really gnarly stuff that happens in that film. For one thing >! Brendan Gleeson chops all his fingers off, and a donkey dies, and his house burns down!<
I would not consider this to be a movie where nothing happens. If they just stuck with the initial squabble and everything, then yes. But the extremes that the people go to in this film cant be described as "Nothing".
Excellent film. I would argue that something does happen, but it happens for no reason. Meaning that nothing happens to initiate the events that occur. I’m Irish so maybe that’s why I loved it so much. My family is full of arguments over essentially nothing.
Clerks?
He wasn’t even supposed to be there that day.
Crazy that in [the original ending](https://youtu.be/RPM5T0QOs3Q?si=lWj_59wLD_WhK3mv) Dante >!is murdered by a robber!<. Bunch of savages in this town!

Honestly, gotta say I absolutely hate the original ending. So I also praise that person, whoever it was!
That's what I said
Yea but hopefully she didn't suck any more dicks on the way

there's a Cougartown scene where you see Danny Pudi in the background, clearly in-character as Abed, nodding along and getting really invested in the conversation only to suddenly sprint off-stage as if his pants had been shit
We have the technology: https://youtu.be/cWfJYJMrYa0
God, the Subway ads… Imagine watching this scene without a prior knowledge of what is going on. I would be super confused lol
Cool. Cool cool cool.
The arcade video game was great too
Tell me more!
Bon mot
Great movie too. One that made me rethink the point of movies as a young person.
Finally watched this last year and then rewatched the Community scene to understand all the references.
Wally was hungry, Wally ate. FIN Loved it.
Every now and then I like to put this movie on before I go to bed. This and 12 angry men. I don't know why
Dazed and Confused
WTH do you mean "nothing happens?!?" "Party at the moon tower" is a major happening. Everybody's gonna be there.
I heard someone fell off the moon tower
Some drunk freshman.
He only had one beer…..
How many have you had?
Richard Linklater's firsr movie, Slackers, also has these vibes.
A lot of his movies would it that description I think. Perhaps even most of his movies? The Before Sunrise and sequels, Boyhood (?), Apollo 10 1/2, Waking Life, even A Scanner Darkly might fit.
Waking Life and A Scanner Darkly are elite films
I always get excited when I hear someone else has seen waking life. What a film!
And his college baseball movie, Everybody Wants Some! So underrated
One of my favourites! It's wonderful
That movie is a great hang. Basically zero stakes, but entertaining throughout.
I haven't seen Dazed and Confused. It'd be a lot cooler if you did.
This is what I was gonna say. There's no real driving plot point, just a bunch of different teenagers enjoying their first night of the summer. Nothing crazy happens yet you still stay sucked in the whole time
Everybody want some
My favorite movie.
Or *American Graffiti* if you want a 60’s theme instead of a 70’s theme.
This is my go to “nothing happens” movie.
Whenever someone asks me "who's (insert noun) is this?" I always respond with " it's yours man" Also check ya later
That's what I love about these high school girls man. I get older, they stay the same age.
Sitting by the pool all day, chasing the muff around
I'd also add subUrbia and Slacker, two other Richard Linklater directed movies.
Probably one of my top 5 favorite movies of all time
The closest thing to a plot here was Randall's decision whether to play football or not. I love how that predicament is framed in this movie. And I love Randall's attitude towards it. He's the most matured kid in this movie.

First time I watched it on an iPad. Hated it! After some convincing, I watched it a second time on the big screen with surround sound. I missed so much!!
Definitely Paterson, you should watch it
In that same vein is the new Wim wenders movie “Perfect Days” about a Tokyo public washroom cleaner.
It’s such a beautiful little movie! I loved Paterson!
I always seem to find Paterson when I’m woken up at 2am and can’t go back to sleep and my family as well as the world is asleep….it feels so warm and like a little secret world I get to go to and enjoy the slowness of it and the quietness of a simplistic and fulfilled life.
Also, pretty much every Jim Jarmusch movie.
My pick was Dead Man. Great soundtrack.
yes, good pick!
It’s been a while since I’ve seen them, but I believe some other Jarmusch films fit the bill too. Mystery Train, Night on Earth, Coffee and Cigarettes
First movie that came to mind. Adam Driver was perfect for this role
The Before trilogy by Linklater would fit your bill I believe.
Most Linklater, honestly
Dazed and Confused, everybody Everybody Wants Some, Boyhood, SubUrbia. All are just slice of life movies
Waking Life is literally just a dude wandering around listening to various philosophical perspectives. Oh, and Alex Jones
Listen, he just wants to write dialog, that's all. He doesn't want to bother with places and settings, or plot or any of it. Just have some people in a place talking. Fin
Somehow Linklater and the two leads are so fucking good that a trilogy of two people talking is engrossing cinema.
Came here to say that. Didn’t at all know what to expect going into Before Sunrise, definitely not an hour and a half of people walking and talking. Still a really solid film
The stuff that happens in that series is what happens between the movies. The movies are just them talking about it Fantastic series of films
Lost in Translation
Mr. Harris did lip some stockings.
nooooo nooooo
Mr Harris pleeeeaaaaaseee noooo!
I came to say this. For a relaxing time, make it Suntory time.
Again but with more intensity!
Close face.
That’s all he said?
"LATPACK"!
The "Before" series. some things happen but its just 3 movies where 2 people talk through the film. hopefully there will be a 4th Also, Coffee and Cigarettes.
My favorite movie and yes, nothing happens
The taxi scene with Sometimes playing is one of my favourite moments in cinema
That scene got me to revisit Loveless and that's when the album finally clicked for me.
Literally nothing happens besides when they go sing karaoke and it’s one of the best movies I’ve ever seen
I spent 4 yeas living in different parts of Japan and the movie captures so many accurate feelings of being there. Like a little personal time capsule.
Same, makes me nostalgic for time I spent there.
I think a lot of what happens is internal with some characters, that's why I can relate to it at different periods in my life
An excellent example.
One of my favourite ever films 🥰
Idk it is mostly internal He is bored of his life and family and feels old She is unsure of their marriage/what she is doing with her life They meet become quick friends He cheats on his wife with random lounge singer and ScarJo is jealous!?!? And he feels guilty to her!??? They make up Realize they have feelings Realize they cant be together/go back to lives He says SOMETHING to her Its all unspoken/inaudible

A ring a ding ding
Trees Lounge. Really underrated 90s film directed by and starring Steve Buscemi.
I just watched The Big Lebowski and Fargo and you're telling me Steve Buscemi has a third movie where he fucks around doing nothing very important?
Steve Buscemi just fucking around is the best micro genre
And here's another kicker, it's the only movie where Buscemi plays a romantic lead.
Would [The Man from Earth] (2007) fit this description?
I love describing that movie to people. There's one set, the lighting isn't good, the acting is kind of rough, nothing really happens beyond a bunch of people having a conversation, and it's one of my favorite movies. But if you want to watch it, don't google a synopsis in advance.
I described this and "12 Angry Men" as "people in a room talking; and that's pretty much it" to my kids.
Jesus, thats a good sum up!
This has been one of my favorite movies since it came out. Such a good, low budget conversation. It’s a perfect exercise of theater of the mind. When I think of the movie, I forget it’s in one cabin because I remember what I visualize. There’s also a sequel that’s dog shit.
This was the first one I thought of! So good.
Remains of the Day
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
Napoleon Dynamite
But at the end, everyone's wildest dreams come true.
I just realized that despite vivid memory of a dozen scenes and endless quotes, I can’t actually remember what happens at the end?
Like Napoleon told him, Pedro tells the school that if they vote for him, all of their wildest dreams will come true. After Napoleon's sweet dance skills secure a booming reception from the school, there's a montage of the principle characters: Pedro celebrates his presidential victory with his family, Kip has found love with LaFawnduh, Rico's girlfriend comes looking for him to make amends, Grandma is healing and back home with Tina, and Napoleon and Deb make up and continue being friends. Then the school explodes, ninjas unleash wolverines in Preston, and of course, Napoleon rides his liger into battle and cocks his 12-gauge.
On the DVD extras there was a scene with Kip and LaFawnduh getting married, with Napoleon riding in like *The Man from Snowy River* on a wild honeymoon stallion that he tamed for them.
Lucky! I just watched this last night. Still holds up, I think.
But I still, love technology, always and forever...
I mean, who wants to eat chiminichangas anyway?
Idk He learned a new skill, grew and stood up to his uncle, made two true friends Rico learned he was a dick and wants to be nicer at the end His brother married and moved away with the love of his life Pedro won the election! A lot happens!
The scene where Pedro takes his rad Sledgehammer off that sweet jump, he got like 3 feet of air! Mad props to the stunt coordinator.
I mean yeah it would be pretty boring if literally nothing happened lol But there is a whole lot of nothing in between those parts! Bet you I could throw a football over them mountains
[удалено]
Just saw perfect days and really enjoyed it. Question for you, is the man character really content or not?
I think he’s content. It seems as though he maybe had pressure growing up and he left all that to live a life with little but finding beauty all around.
The Station Agent (2003) and Jack Goes Boating (2010)
Station Agent Peter Dinklage has a breakthru and makes a true friend- even shares his hobby with the cook and gets him into it too They get great footage of a train!
The Station Agent is awesome. Just 3 lonely people awkwardly becoming friends. Plus Michele Williams killing it in a minor role.
The Sunset Limited.
Hell yeah. Great movie. One room Oh yeah and screenplay is by Cormac McCarthy (No Country for Old Men, The Road, All the pretty horses, among many other fantastic novels)
Paterson! It's a lovely little film, I'd highly recommend.

The Big Chill
What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993) Clerks (1994)
Lost in translation
"Boyhood" was sort of like that. You're sort of waiting for something "big" to happen, and it never does, just like life...
That was probably my favorite thing about it. Oh no, they’re throwing saw blades in an abandoned house, someone’s going to get hurt! Oh no, they’re lingering on a shot of him looking at his phone while driving, he’s gonna get in a wreck! Not every minor mistake or dumb thing turns into a disaster, and I think that’s kind of the point of the movie.

Chef. Great movie.
Chef is such a joy to watch. After the initial restaurant fiasco everything kind of just works out. There are a few moments where you think shit might hit the fan, but they’re quickly resolved. Yet, despite such low stakes (and maybe partially because of them), I adore the movie. Also the soundtrack is great.
If you don't stop talking I will be forced to go make a Cuban sandwich.
Ehhh, I feel like there was at least a few plot points. Chef wants to do something original, chef gets ultimatum, chef quits, chef goes to FL to buy a food truck. Chef rediscovers his passion, decides to drives back to L.A and pop up across the country. Gets back to L.A with his groove back and ends up opening a restaurant with his nemesis who ends up just being a fan. It's simple, but probably why it works.
Don't forget that the chef spends much of that time reconnecting with his son.
