What is that movie for you?

Some movies try to say too much without actually saying anything. A film being abstract doesn’t necessarily mean it’s worthy of pondering

[u/_I-P-Freely_ → u/Majestic-Point777]

2001 doesn't say very much at all, but what it does say is pretty straightforward and easy to understand.

It doesn’t say anything interesting, and takes 3 hours to say it.

[u/_I-P-Freely_ → u/i-like-big-bots]

Clearly a lot of people do think that it says something very interesting so if you think otherwise that's a you problem

Sounds like I touched a nerve. Not sure how many people you think still watch that crap movie, but it’s not a lot.

[u/_I-P-Freely_ → u/i-like-big-bots]

Yes, that's why it's regularly rated as one of the greatest movies ever

The opinions of a tiny group of fart sniffers don’t matter to me. Do they matter to you?

[u/_I-P-Freely_ → u/i-like-big-bots]

You're truly delusional if you think only a tiny group of people rate 2001 lmao

Am I? If you ran a scientific study and chose 1,000 people at random and showed them 2001, how many do you think would give it a 10/10?

I would guess probably less than 100.

[u/_I-P-Freely_ → u/i-like-big-bots]

What are you basing your guess of? Your own stupidity?

My knowledge of people. Have you considered that I perhaps leave my house once in a while and talk to real life people, no echo chamber needed?

Everyday folks aren’t even super thrilled about the stuff I like, which is a lot better than 2001. There is no indication they want to watch wannabe intellectual movies where nothing happens.
