Because it isn't.
The film isn't very good, and if you think it's that good, you have shit taste.

He killed a paedophile so /tv/ hated it.

I'd like to give some evil critique on the movie God Bless America.

>>22617334
Isn't he a pedophile in the film though?

OP here, the last time I experienced this type of catharsis was in the movie Falling Down.

Holy fucking shit this was intense.

Not saying it's a MASTERPIECE, but fucking hell as far as genre/exploitation movies go God Bless America was just phenomenal.

because it's a piece of shit, are you 12?

the fact that some say it's the best while some say it's crap kinda makes it a must see.

>>22617372
A bunch of rants stringed together make a great exploitation film?
The violence was terrible, only one shocking/ gore-y death and that was in a dream.
Not enough character development. Roxy just leaves and randomly shows back up at the end to just die.
I could go on, but I think you get the idea.

>mfw this movie begins the end of Bobcat's career

Seriously, World's Greatest Dad was absolutely stunning, and then he releases a rehash of Falling Down, Fight Club, Natural Born Killers, and every other revenge porn-fantasy disguised as insightful social commentary.

I have hope that he'll shoot something less embarrassing next time, but this was almost painful to watch.

>>22617469

This movie had an incredibly low budget, fuck you.

>>22617525
That's not an excuse.

Because it's actually a 2011 film.

haven't seen it and i never will. the idea i get is that he kills a bunch of people he doesn't like for petty reasons. generic edgy shit which sacrifices any chance of interesting characters, development or even plot for some "catharsis" only a teenager would get. compared to falling down, where he goes apeshit but only intentionally kills people who threaten his life, doesn't decide to just do it for the sake of it and in the end dies tragically, it looks like shit

>>22617809

So you watch reality TV shows? It sounds like you're mad because you contribute to the stupidity of American culture.

>>22617809

>lack of intelligence
>petty

you are the reason this world is so shitty.

Oh, look! A stupid, braindead, petty, and hateful movie that's obsessed with how American culture is stupid, braindead, petty and hateful!

How insightful.

>>22617895
>>22617915
You realize the movie is making fun of the dumbasses that watch it and enjoy it, right? You're just as bad as the very people the guy killed.

inb4 No-oo-o I don't watch rea-lity tv!

>>22617964

This might actually be the single most desperately stupid thing I've ever seen on the internet.

>>22617895

Holy shit, not that guy, but where exactly did you pick up on the vibe that he watches reality TV?

This entire movie contributes to the degradation of America's culture. It's pathetic, overtly-violent garbage that I was embarrassed to watch. Bobcat's involvement with this movie make me sick, thinking of how far he fell from interesting, dark comedies, to HURR DURR LETS SHOOT TEENAGE GIRLS IN DA FACE THATS 2DEEP4U LULZ.

See this screenshot? This is the top-rated comment on this movie's trailer on youtube. This is you. I hope you're happy with this position in life.

Edgy Teen: The Movie.

It panders to the Hot Topic crowd that lives to be edgy and hates anything mainstream. Lacking substance, it appeals to a fitting demographic.

>>22618036

>Meaningless Vacuous Buzz Words: The Post

>>22618011

Apparently the movie is, in fact, 2deep4u, because you clearly did not understand it.

lmao @ people trying to out-edge each other in the thread

It's an okay movie, I feel like people are taking it too seriously.

Why do you think there is no character development? Because there are no characters to develop-- the film is about the revenge-fantasy message, it's completely ridiculous, nothing has stakes, etc because as much as we fantasize about killing these people we will never fucking do it. Nothing is supposed to have weight; that's the thesis of the movie.

>>22618071

Hold on, let me tell translate what that guy means, even though he was very clear in the original post.

This entire movie was crafted to appeal to the precious 18-25 year old male demographic. It does so by working on the base emotions of superiority, revenge, and brutal violence. The work is formulaic, as this set-up has worked in the past numerous times before.

Falling Down:Middle-Aged Man taking revenge against a society that he believes has betrayed him and left him behind
Natural Born Killers:Pair of media-friendly killers cross the nation, shooting people who annoy them
Kick-Ass:Older man and younger girl team up to take down a criminal organization. Girl isn't afraid to shoot people and swear

Boil those elements down, throw it into the 2010s, release on VOD, and you have a low-budget success story, something Goldcat needs after the disappointing box-office failures of his previous, better films.

The movie's set-up maybe stale, but it sure as hell will draw in audience with minimum knowledge of movie-history, and a whole lot of love for watching people die who they believe are the problems of the world.

>This entire movie was crafted to appeal to the precious 18-25 year old male demographic.

Except that I've attended a very typical American university and easily 80% of the people in those universities are mocked by this movie...

The movie appeals to intelligent people. That's about it.

I think it's alright. I was a little hesitant going in, fearing it'd be too preachy with the normal "blah blah america blah blah pop culture politics decline" type whining but by twisting it from specific politics or pop-cultural phenomena and instead focusing on the mean-spiritedness and anger in it I thought it was interesting enough. By no means an insightful masterpiece but very much worth the time I spent watching it.

>>22618322

>The movie appeals to intelligent people. That's about it.

Look here >>22618011, >>22618315, and pic related.

I can't speak for everyone, but it's common belief that intelligent people aren't usually attracted to this type of movie. It's usually teenagers who would like to think they are the epitome of intelligence, but fall for the same marketed shit that they rally against. They even tend to be the type of people the movie mocks, but not notice it themselves.

>>22618322
>This movie appeals to intelligent people

You misspelled "pseudo-intellectual". Then again, you're pretty much give yourself away as the poster child of that demographic, soooo...

>>22618220
>>22618449
You will never direct or make a film anyone would enjoy watching or give a shit about.

>>22618449

>Common belief

Common IS stupid. Roughly 80% of Americans believe in the talking snake.

All of the intelligent people I know would certainly get a kick out of this movie. Not because it's cerebral or complex, but because intelligent people can also enjoy simple revenge.

Your butt hurt is showing. Everything that appeals to intelligent people is also going to attract pseudo-intellectuals. Literally everything.

The fact of the matter is thing smart people in the year 2012 spend time shaking their heads at the utter stupidity of things like Jersey Shore, Christianity, "bro culture," fake tans, and what have you. It's a simple inevitability because there are no intelligent people who identify with the people this movie makes fun of.

>>22618449

Most intelligent people do not require ever single experience in their lives to be some world-shattering piece of intellectual analysis. Needing everything to be is not intelligence but rather some sort of autism.

>>22618628

>that will appeal to the same people who are the problem

This doesn't even make sense. The people the movie is satirizing are the problem, so how would this movie appeal to them?

>>22618514
I have had my I.Q. tested by a psychologist, and it's around 120. Not genius level, certainly, but well over one standard deviation above the mean.

This movie looks like a piece of moronic shit that will appeal to the same people who are the problem it's decrying, and I say this as somebody who liked "World's Greatest Dad".

>>22618507

Duly noted.

However, I must admit I sadly have no other, proper response, seeing as you've finally hit the ad hominem range of debate, meaning that this entire argument has proven useless in improving anyones stance on anything.

>>22618628

>to the same people who are the problem

Yes, but if you truly were so intelligent as you believe yourself to be you would know that "appeals to the people who are the problem" does not imply "people it appeals to are the problem".

Hey guys I watched this movie. I have a question regarding it. When the female says she doesn't like glee. What reason does she say? I didn't understand what she said when I watched the movie. I actually want to know why she doesn't like glee. Something about gay people?

I personally have mixed feelings about glee.
