Damn son, pretty intro tier /mu/ and /lit/ here. You should read Herzog by Saul Bellow and the Death of Ivan Ilych, those are more true psychology and character development than I think you get in most of lits normal recommendations. Tolstoy and Bellow are both prose masters. I-I have pretty shitty music taste too, b-but Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I just Sit is a good album you probably haven't heard.

Posts like this make me scared to reread Ulysses in public. I studied it for a year and definitely understand it (mostly because it was explained to me) and feel like I would get a lot out of a second reading, but I know people would see me reading it on the subway and think "That kid's trying to read Ulysses?

No, but it's just the odd film out by far. Looked like it could've been a possible shit post. I honestly don't know anything like it. Stan's other films are hardly similar. His early stuff is a lot like Maya Deren, which is far from Dog Star Man. Maybe Walter Ruttmann's stuff, idk.

Not a book, but I'd recommend The Tree of Life if you liked Zerkalo and The Brothers Karamazov. Shadows of our Forgotten Ancestors is another one. Massively influential on Tarkovsky, and it shares similar spiritual themes with a focal point on a love relationship.

As for books it's hard to recommend. Sculpting in Time is good if you really like Tarkovsky. Tao Te Ching was influential on Tark too. So was Pushkin and Tolstoy. Since we have similar taste I personally would say Moby Dick and Dubliners.

Cries and Whispers, and Winter Light would definitely be to your liking if you want some of that Camusian despair. Kierkegaard if you want a more in depth and "academic" approach to despair. Namely The Sickness Unto Death and The Concept of Anxiety.

Looks like I hit the nail on the head. Nobody who sincerely considers a Drake album to be one of their favorite albums has any sort of knowledge of music theory, which means that a significant portion of the beauty and intellectual art of Bach is lost on them (and most of my repliers, I'm assuming). If you derive pleasure from a generic and manufactured pop album that is marketed to middle schoolers then what are you doing listening to the Goldberg Variations? It's above you, and you recognize that, it's why you sought it out in the first place, but don't pretend that you're capable of understanding it just to look smart to 4chan. You don't understand it, you lack the intellectuals tools to understand it, which is why you enjoy the music of Drake.

Ben-Hur aesthetically looks like Caesar Must Die, and it's a long epic. Watch Stalker if you haven't already. It's probably a bit different than what you want, but it's worth the watch. Seven Samurai is another epic film done really well.

I personally think Kierkegaard is a genius. He definitely goes hand-in-hand with Bergman, and influenced Sartre and Camus. But he writes more similarly to Hegel if that puts you off.

>>7488479
>which means that a significant portion of the beauty and intellectual art of Bach is lost on them

Top kek, what a joke. Knowing music theory doesn't increase your emotional experience when listening to music. It's technical knowledge and it appeals to that knowledge only. Goldberg Variations were explicitly written to cheer someone up and keep them company. Regardless of the quality of the pieces, that was the goal of it. Would you also say you can't like poetry unless you knew prosody in and out? How absurd and pretentious of you. Bach would disagree, you can tell just by the way he handled counter-point. Everyone else doing counter-point made it sound autistic, but Bach actually made all the melodies sound like one, like a fucking melody should. Of course, this is probably absolute bait.

I'd also like to say that Tarkovsky watched Seven Samurai during pre-production of each one of his films.

Tarkovsky was together with me then. He was at the corner of the studio. When the film was over, he stood up, looking at me as if he felt timid. I said to him, "Very good. It makes me feel real fear." Tarkovsky smiled shyly, but happily. And we toasted vodka at the restaurant in the Film Institute. Tarkovsky, who didn't drink usually, drank a lot of vodka, and went so far as to turn off the speaker from which music had floated into the restaurant, and began to sing the theme of samurai from Seven Samurai at the top of his voice.

As if to rival him, I joined in.

For I was at that moment very happy to find myself living on Earth.

This really is no answer. I expected a more concrete answer, a list of examples of things a musically literate person should know. I'd expect someone who critiques poetry to recognize type of verse, rhyme scheme, metaphors, alliteration, ellipsis, caesura... So give me musical equivalents for this.

I shouldn't respond because you're either an intensely unenjoyable person bent on ruining everything for others as you've already ruined it for yourself or you're trolling for a reaction

Regardless, I should have left gbv off and put pet sounds instead, considering gbv isn't an album. To suggest that drake and Bach have any overlap is laughable, and that's probably why they appeal to me in terrifically different manners. To apply classical music theory to drake is similarly idiotic

Didn't read Karamazov Bros desu. But I think Demons is a really fine novel if you have already learnt Dosto's philosophical thought through other novels like Memories From The Underground and C&P. It has some philosophy in characters like Kirillov or Shatov, or even Stavrogin (I think Verkhovensky should have been more written about in this matter), but there ain't no vast philosophical speechs. Although you can recognize Dosto's philosophical themes and obsessions in the action an the characters. I also like the kinda noir history around the terrorists, and his satire on the SJW landlords and shit is really funny.

I've never heard of him before until now, would you mind giving a brief idea of what he's about?

>>7489580

Ah, I see. I agree with all you're saying here; it really it just the long psychological speeches in his writing that I like so much, which is probably why Demons is my least favorite so far. Have you read Fathers and Sons before? I've heard that it serves as a good introductory piece to Demons

Didn't read Fathers and Sons, been a long time tryna find it. Think this week my local book store will deliver me.
Borges... damn, it's hard to tell you about him if you've never read anything. Let's say he's known for his kinda abstract, dreamy, mathematic short stories. Some of them aren't even stories: he talks about fictional writers or books. In one of the stories in Ficciones he just talks about one of his dead so guessed friends who died tryna write again El Quijote. Not a modern version, but El Quijote itself. Like he wanted to be able to be comparable to Cervantes even in different times and countries. Other one is about an endless library that keeps every possible book inside. It's like the infinite monkey theorem. You can check some of the stories, I think you'll enjoy em, especially if you speak spanish.

>subjective assessment and comparison of two movies and one book is proof that one medium is better than the other

Anon, pls. If Godfather and Kane are the films you point to when talking about this stuff, all you're doing is showing us how little you've explored the medium.

Go watch Bergman, Kurosawa, Jodorowsky, Kubrick, Fellini, Tarkovsky, and Lynch. Honestly, your argument is so absurd that I'm having a hard time taking you seriously.

Now watch this video:

It's insane how much is communicated in the frame. Just because you haven't learned to pick up on any of it doesn't mean it isn't happening.

Citizen Kane is amazing. I get it you're a "mount stupid" pleb who thinks he's special for watching foreign films and has to be contrarian but really, do stop being such a pompous asshole, Citizen Kane is one of the best films of all time and the only people who disagree are doing so to be contrary or are visually illiterate

By objective standards, yeah, I think Citizen Kane is great. The reason I haven't been defending it is because it isn't my cup of tea; it doesn't resonate with me the way other film does. I prefer other movies with different settings and aesthetics. I don't think Citizen Kane is the pinnacle of film, but that's a much more palatable opinion than saying that film is inferior to literature because of a comparison between The Iliad, Citizen Kane, and The Godfather.

Most of my posts hinge on the fact that the OP thinks The Iliad makes Citizen Kane look like an inferior piece of art. And yeah, I've been condescending... I apologize for that. The Iliad/Citizen Kane anon got my jimmies rustled.

And no, I don't think I'm a special snowflake for watching foreign films. I was just referring to directors that the OP may not have heard of so he could see a wider range of film.
