How DARE you think about stuff in a movie!

I feel like the 2nd comment could apply to so many tumblr posts

Standby. Asking friends at Pixar if this is real.

I mean, it's true though. There aren't enough accommodations for lots of students. People can interpret things through their own experience.

Pseudo-intellectualism is the worst and usually indicates you are unable to grasp the context.

Are you kidding? All our school system does is deal with the slow kids. Mentally disabled is a different story.

Question. Can anyone who's gone back to college after 8+ years give me some insight. Just looking into it, I feel so far behind.

“Let me just tell you something...” why can’t a tumblr comment starts a sentence without sounding so fucking condescending all the time?

“Can we just talk about...” “Ok but no...” etc... JUST SAY WHAT YOU WANNA SAY, YOU’RE THE 1ST TO COMMENT WHO RU PRETENDING YOU’RE TALKING TO

Not everything is a god damn message, sometimes things are funny for the pure purpose of being funny

can't things be funny while simultaneously being slight social commentary tho?

They can, but that would need to be a bit deeper than "slugs are slow"

But... I like the clever interpretation of symbolism here.
RayMC
So do I. Can't say I buy the guy's argument, but the number of people here who seem opposed to ANY interpretation whatsoever bothers me.
PickThePig
Same. Just because it wasn't intended doesn't mean you are not allowed to interpret it that way.
wellthisjustgotinteresting
SO MUCH THIS. People need to learn this.
HtCtiwtchyk
it's not clever though. it's like, hey, what's a really retarded way to interpret this film? ooh, ooh i got one!
wellthisjustgotinteresting
Why is it "retarded"?
HtCtiwtchyk
Because it's pseudo-intellectualism. Hey man, what if Harry Potter was actually an allegory for the tribulations orphans have to go (1/2)
HtCtiwtchyk
through? Nah, I think it's just a fantasy story man, but thanks for the really retarded interpretation. (2/2)
wellthisjustgotinteresting
I mean, obviously it's not originally intended, but that doesn't mean it's not applicable.

I know I'll get downvoted, but whether or not that was the message(probably wasnt) still doesn't change the fact that it's kind of true.

"I know I'll get downvoted" You will now. Quit the self-defeating, protective bullshit.
C18H27NO3
Have you been here for more than 3 minutes? Any actually unpopular opinion or statement DOES get mass downvoted by the Imgur hivemind.
Lancake
It's mostly random, sometimes a normal comment gets -100, sometimes an outrageous one gets +100. "I'll get downvoted if.." doesn't help tho

As a gay man I am sorry: that is just stupid BS that is just being wasteful instead of being the team we need to be.

I've run into this sorta. Though usually it's gay guys either telling me I'm gay or in denial, or that I'm straight and trying to be trendy.

Honestly though, what's wrong with trying to take everything in this short fucking life?

This is going to get downvotes but...it literally is. Discriminating based on race. It's still your choice and taste, and that's ok.
NiceGreenArrows
However, since you later say that you did it because of the hiispanic guys morals, not due to race, its not racist.

Go back to Tumblr
NiceGreenArrows
I literally said the opposite of what tumblr would say. I think you failed to read and understand. It's ok, it was both expected and common.
Mangomancer
it's called Sexual Preference which is very different than racism.
NiceGreenArrows
Also, I used the word taste instead, because of character limits, but yep.
NiceGreenArrows
Discriminating means choosing based on. If their sexual preference includes a preferred race then...but as I said, thats ok.
Mangomancer
preference, " greater liking for one alternative over another or others." meaning you like vanilla more than chocolate. or viceversa. >>
Mangomancer
Racism is when you show prejudice over someone of a different race,and you believe your race is superior than others. they are not the same

The English class conundrum: Is the door red or is the writer showing his rage towards his dead wife?
Noob3rts
Isn't that a more philosophical question?
Irishda
Its not a conundrum. Usually there's just arguments about what the symbolism stands for. In most cases it does exist

"Stanley walked through the *RED* door."
didntthinkofthat
I'm teaching English. The writer is literally describing the surroundings which may give you clues about the character. I.e. bright .....
didntthinkofthat
pink curtains instead of red would give a different impression. If colour is used a lot or describes changing colours, may be an analogy.
RayMC
And it usually is. Sad how so many (other) English teachers have managed to get these people to ignore these details instead of embrace them
didntthinkofthat
My English teachers did the same thing, it felt like ripping apart literature rather than marveling in it. I'm trying to do it differently.
RayMC
I'm glad! When people learn to appreciate literature, it resonates in any work of art they see later in life (movies, music, etc) ¹
RayMC
It's really more important than people give it credit for. At least I think. ²

All the time in jr high, teacher teased me in front of class on how my interpretations were wrong. I was good at math and science and
GreaterDog
therefore bad at lit, according to her. All while I won awards that year for creative writing contests. Enormously frustrating bullshit.
Tassyr
That's why I basically checked out in lit class. We had to independently end up with only the exact interpretation our teachers had.
didntthinkofthat
It's not great but it does tend to get better when you move onto to a higher qualifications and look at context and new interpretations.
TheGreyKnightsBANNED
Which makes me wonder. HOW IS THIS AN EFFECTIVE TEACHING RESOURCE!!!!
RayMC
Your teachers sucked. Either that, or you were terrible at backing up your interpretations & blamed it on him/her. Probably the 1st though.
Tassyr
Honestly I admit I wasn't the best essay writer, but I'd say it was about 90%/10% split on the teacher/me angle.
Dick75
I remember a teacher of mine fighting with me about her interpretation of the movie The Birds. Maybe she was right (1/2)
Dick75
Or maybe the only reason the movie didn't end with the characters fighting a giant mother bird was because Hitchcock didn't have the budget!
Dick75
The point is we don't know!
Felberin

This made me realise that we've kinda lost director commentaries when we moved from DVDs to streaming... I liked those.
PartyHatGladOS
Thats because their is a direct meaning behind it. The idea that everything is an "open interpretation" is inherently flawed.
RayMC
To say it's inherently flawed is to question the entire basis of literary analysis.
PartyHatGladOS
Well, you have to realize there was an intended context first. Not just firing from the hip. Once you can establish that then go wild.
PartyHatGladOS
While, it is fine to interpret things the way you like, the author had his own reasons, often than not, none.
PartyHatGladOS
Assigning meaning where there is none is a dangerous road.
PartyHatGladOS
Always be mindful where the rabbit hole goes. Its perfectly normal to seek hidden meaning, but never safe to assume it is correct.
TheFoxCouncil
Sure, but the argument is that the author's intent is irrelevant. All that matters is the reader's interpretation.
TheFoxCouncil
Death of the author and all that.
didntthinkofthat
If the meaning is not easily identified the author could have written it so that readers can bring their own interpretations.
