Wow, that guy is so edgy and hip. So glad we have people like Gaspar Noe to tell us what is cool and worth watching.
Gaspar Noé explains his hatred for ‘Black Panther’: ‘I had to escape the cinema after 20 minutes’

He was asked a question and he answered, is he holding a gun to your head telling you what to watch?
Too Short's "In the Trunk" being used as diegetic sound in an appropriate setting of 1992 Oakland making a person need to escape the theater does sound like some racist shit, yeah
you tried to spin it but landed pointing the exact same direction
Not liking songs or a movie doesn't make someone racist.
The Black Panther part is just click bait, it's not is jam that's all.
But what is thread worthy is his opinion about nudity and weapons against penises.

I know it’s all subjective but this seems childish. Yeah you had to escape before the movie basically started because of R&B music. Fuck outta here.
depending on your reasons, of course it does. What a ridiculous statement
I like how many people are just assuming this dude is racist, for whatever reason, because he doesn't like R&B, hahahahaha.
So stupid.
So stupid.
Almost as ridiculous as calling someone racist without knowing the reasons they dislike it?
There was no R&B in the first 20 minutes of the movie. It’s racist because what on earth is he even talking about? Who says that?
I don't really like action super hero movies, so I knew I wouldn't like Black Panther so ... I didn't watch it ... and don't talk about not liking it ... because I know it's not my jam. But, I'm glad that other people who do like action movies liked it, I'm glad we can all like different things.
Fair enough. I actually disagree about one of the few things you praised (the special effects) but at least I can understand your reasoning for the rest even though it seems crazy to me (at least in comparison to the rest of the MCU). The only part where I would side with you is Chadwick Boseman. I thought he was much more charismatic in Civil War than in his own film for some reason.
He gave a reason, it was non-sense; even if you want to claim he meant hip-hop, there's not a lot of it in the actual film's score.
Maybe dude doesn't know what R&B is and mistook another song for it? Who fucking cares?
Ha, same. When Kenny was throwing down beats during the lower-key scenes it was brilliant.
He compared it to Star Wars. So seems pretty likely he thinks all big budget movies are a bunch of dumb bullshit. And he didn't care for the music so it was extra incentive for him to leave. If you wanna read way too far into it that's on you.
Because there are people in this thread caping for him, even though that R&B statement is tone deaf. Also, there aren’t even very many songs at the start of the movie...I honestly can’t name any. And I know for damn sure they aren’t R&B.
Or you know, you could be reading way too into something for racism that isn't there.
Had he only compared it to Star Wars and not made the stupid R&B comment, I probably wouldn't have replied to the thread at all. I didn't even know about this fuck or his films so he definitely got pub with his edgy comments
But he did make the barely crouched racial comment and people who don't defend that kind of thing are going to call it what it is.
I don't like either of them that much. Too many strobe lights assaulting my eyes.
How can I be reading into something that isn’t there when there is no R&B music 20 minutes into the film? Who are you to tell me when something is or isn’t racist?
I was presented a thread on the subject and the opportunity to respond to it. The guy is expressing himself and I'm doing likewise. (shrugs)
I don't know about that, even the orchestral stuff had a distinct African sound to it. You wouldn't get drums and vocals like this in something like Captain America.
I'm still trying to figure out what R&B music was in the movie.
That's always what it is. Racism is something that people can agree exists as a concept yet whenever an example is brought up, someone is always telling us we're reading into it too much and looking for racism that doesn't exist.
It’s the Keaton effect. People criticised Keaton in Batman and Batman Returns for being a mostly stoic lead while everyone else was crazy over the top. But that was the point. Keaton played Batman as a repressed guy who didn’t want to let that side out. Boseman is charismatic in Civil War because he’s got minimal screen time to sell the character. He’s more relaxed and reserved in Black Panther because he has to anchor the film. Dude shares the screen with his co stars brilliantly, because he lets them shine knowing that he’ll look better if everyone on screen is delivering.
its like the quantum reality, from the outside you can see cohesive structures forming, so you know something is happening down there, but if you ever try to peer in to get a closer look at any one instance its always "not me boss, go look over there", so then you go over there and that instance tells you the same thing, as will every instance
you can see the effects, you hold out your hand and walk towards the mass to try and grab it, and by the time you get close enough to touch it it has become so thin as to dance between and around your fingers

Marvel movie is boring, Arrival is great, Penis better than gun.
Yep, yep and yep.
He should do more interviews!

I have zero patience for someone's opinion about a movie they didn't even bother to watch. Movies are only 2 hours. If I really hate a movie I'll stick it out just so that I can shit all over it from a place of authority.
Yeah, good point and good comparison.
But Keaton still had that crazy and almost sadistic look once in a while that would let you know that there was a little bit more going on with his Bruce Wayne.
It's great that the entire cast was so good in BP but I do hope that Coogler will recenter the sequel around T'Challa a bit more and give him a little bit more space.
Or Marvel should just go ahead and make a World of Wakanda movie or give Shuri the Black Panther mantle, I'd be fine with that too.
I like how if we take his comments at face value, we’re reading into them but no one should question his uninformed opinions according to the edgelord defense force
Have you seen other interviews or at the very least, his movies? Or extrapolating the quote was enough for you to label the guy?
I did. And it looks like you got a warning. Disliking something, and people's tastes, aren't racism. If there's a nefarious bent to it, sure, but in this instance, without more, it's not.
I'm trying to be real nice as I post this, since your post is essentially discrediting the experience of minorities (specifically black folk) when we inform others of possible racism occurring. So, I'm going to just assume you're really ignorant and don't understand certain coded language people will use to get across a racist viewpoint or perpetuate stereotypes. But, the idea that all music produced by or featuring black people is "R&B and/or Hip-Hop" IS a racist stereotype. It exists. It's a constant thing racists will say to shut down black musical expression. "I don't listen to..." or "shut off that R&B/Hip-Hop stuff," meanwhile Chuck Berry is playing.
So, when someone says they literally walked out of the theater because they couldn't take the R&B music when there is literally NO R&B music present in the film at that point, well we have to question what the fuck they are talking about and why they said it. Do you think he would've said the same thing about the music had it been an Iron-Man or Thor movie? If not, then why do you think that is?
If you dislike something for racist reasons, it’s racist
The reason he gave was nonsensical and clearly racial
I’m taking his comments at face value. You’re a fan defending his racially coached uninformed remark and hiding behind “opinions”
Like, he doesn’t even know what he’s talking about because he didn’t watch the film.
You don’t have to defend every idiotic racial comment or tell the people they refer to that it isn’t what it clearly is
Proof that Noe sucks.
Barry Lyndon is the best Kubrick film. The Shining is also an acceptable answer.
Irreversible is pretty try hard, Enter the Void is fine, and dude is racist because what the fuck is he talking about with the R&B thing? Oh yeah, too many BLACKSSSSS
Or you know he just doesn't like the music. News flash not every thing has to be liked
Anyways, why would a bigot cast a movie with PoC and transgender people?
So because there are black and brown people in the movie, therefore he is not racist? How do you make that logic?
Ridley Scott cast Idris Elba's black ass in Prometheus and he's a racist...
