Why do yall hate on HYPE WILLIAMS '98 CLASSIC "Belly"; But give TERRENCE MALICK a pass

[Wavy Hair Chipped Teeth]

Who hates on belly

No one's ever hated on it. It's always just been called for what is was, an 80 minute music video

Terrence Malick never gets mentioned in here. lol

 

[re'up]

Terrence Malick's films often have some of the same problems as "Belly", one of the major flaws of Belly was the script and acting was so bad in some points, it nearly collapses the entire narrative. How I imagine the movies on 2pac's death is something like Belly and Malick, in terms of direction and images....

I liked Knight of Cups and Song to Song, but both suffer from the usual Malick flaws. Overlong, hit the same point over and over again, not as deep as it aspires to be, very much a "first class" problems type of movie, shamelessly elite.

But, also gorgeous, and stunning, inspiring.

I’ve never been enamored with Terrence Malick’s Film at all. I will say that Tree Of Life was a pleasant surprise and I LOVED the evolving planet montage.

But the rest of his shyt is overly long, badly edited, bullshyt.


Belly is a hood classic. It would’ve been a bonafide Classic Film if the studio hadn’t fukked with Hype’s vision WHILE he was midway through filming.

You do realize Emmanuel Lubezki did the cinematography right?

 

[STAN JONES]

Nobody hates Hype,Belly just wasn’t a good movie

And I’ve never even heard of the other dude you mentioned or that movie

Problem is he hasnt used a script in his recent movies and it's obvious. If you get a bad actor his style really highlights how bad they are. Affleck being a notable example of this in To The Wonder.

Days of Heaven and Thin Red Line are amazing movies. I wish he'd go back to a tighter script like the way those were done.

Brb gonna compare Quavo to Scorcese now that he's directing videos

 

[High quality poster]

Also, no one liked Knight of Cups lol.

I loved knight of cups actually. It was far better than belly

 

[Bleed The Freak]

Belly is awful

 

[Manuel Hot Pepper Lopez]

OP literally pulled two movies out of a hat to argue about

Never even heard the other movie being takkta about here period, let alone given a pass

And as far as Belly goes, if pointing out the movie was subpar and Nas & TBoz have no business being in leading roles of a motion picture counts as hating, then

He tried a style of arguing/trolling that usually flies in other sections but he got called out, asked for references, had 1 (which somehow counted to him as “y’all”) and will probably ghost his own thread now.
