Andre had just explained to George that he'd just been watching the Ingmar Berman movie "Autumn Sonata" and he'd been seized by a fit of ungovernable crying when the character played by Ingrid Bergman had said, "I could always live in my art, but never in my life."

I was thinking about the Super Mario Bros movie for some reason. Not the weird fun one from the 90's, the new popular one. I didn't really like it, because it was mainly a bunch of references to Mario. Meandering plot, uninteresting writing - you'd get the same emotional response from reading a wikipedia page listing all the products Mario was in.

It got me thinking about how Ready Player One was the same way, and why. Why wouldn't I like a movie about a bunch of stuff I already like?

Cinema Paradiso is about the joy you find in watching films. The Fablemans is about the joy of creating films. Living in Oblivion is a critique of how the process of making a film is long, boring and mostly annoying, with the end message being that every film that gets released is a miracle. High Fidelity is literally about music store employees, but it can be generalized to be about the kind of person that enjoys anything seriously. Film buffs, literature nerds, gym rats, anyone that's really into something is represented by that film.

Even if the movie isn't really about art it can still be about nostalgia. Wild Strawberries, My Dinner with Andre, The Holdovers and Mirror are all movies about reflecting on the life you've had and dealing with the emotions of regret and nostalgia. About a time of your life that you wish you could go back to so you could relive it, or a terrible time you'd like to fix retroactively.

Ready Player One and the Mario movie aren't about celebrating films, or games, or any kind of culture and they're not about reflecting on anything. They're just lazy regurgitations of pop culture. Ready Player One will remind you that Akira exists, but it doesn't have anything interesting to say about it. It doesn't have anything to say about the time period that produced movies like Robocop, just that Robocop existed at one point. What reflections or thoughts are to be gained from being told that Back to the Future happened? You're better off just watching Back to the Future.

To prove my point: I namedropped a bunch of movies in this post and it was probably really, really annoying to read as a result.

Idk I think My Dinner with Andre would've been better if they had burgers from an affordable place and referenced other movies

i really like that i can communicate my feelings with a niche group of people by describing how i feel using a tv character/episode.

like if i admit to you all that i'm relating pretty hard to jeff winger's outburst/confession during his "My Dinner With Andre" moment with abed right now, some of you guys will understand what I mean and I feel like that's something really special.

i for one would appreciate if a porn studio started out each video with unstructured conversations and musings from the actors similar to My Dinner With Andre
