"I didn't say that plot and screenplay are the same thing; Italian is not an opinion!" Okay, I must have understood it wrong then. Can you kindly explain again what you meant with this sentence: "l'intreccio di situazioni grottesche e la sceneggiatura perfetta, alla fin fine convogliano in una parola: trama!"? Because I understood it as: "the plot and the screenplay ultimately converge in the plot"... given that Italian, as you rightly pointed out, is not an opinion, it's also a phrase that sounds terrible. (As I understood it, but I assume you would be so kind as to enlighten me.)

"Well, I don't understand this obsession, it feels a bit like moralizing to me... after all, everyone should be free to be silly and/or empty as they please. In fact, I won't deny it, I'm always messing around, I’ve never had serious discussions on debaser, that’s exactly why I don't understand the famous 'pole up the ass' mentioned by nes, which makes me LAUGH. Better this way, I'm glad I didn't offend you... @ flo: besides 'ornitopenia', I also knew 'aviopenia'. I would have something to say about this though: 'and anyway, I have to deduce that my humor is even finer, since absurdly, it even makes you angry.' In reality, it doesn't make us angry, we just often don't get it, because humor that’s TOO fine doesn’t make people laugh, (I'd put 'sucks' but that might be offensive). With comedy, it didn't go well ash, try again with Greek tragedy :)"

"The problem is that you, like I believe all right-wing people, riding the Berlusconi wave, confuse 'the left' with 'communism.' Sure, it's true, but we also need to consider that 'berlusconism' (who knows how it's said, whatever) is neither right nor left. It's just self- celebrating ignorance in its wild state. Out of respect for those who have honestly participated in politics, whether on the left or the right, it doesn't matter, let's stop considering Berlusconi and his followers as politicians. They're not even criminals; they're small-time bandits nourished by ignorance who, with their fantastic television and the fantastic media they possess (actually, it would be more accurate to say possess since it's all or almost all in the hands of a single man), promote on a large scale across the territory. At this rate, we won't be rid of him until his (as many hope) departure to the world of carrion (from the Corriere della Sera dictionary: 'carogna [ca-ró-gna] s.f. 1 Body of a dead animal in decomposition')."

I'm sorry, but the screenplay and the plot are two very distinct things. The plot is the story told in a film, and I challenge anyone to say that Pulp Fiction tells a SINGLE clear and engaging story. (In reality, it also tells a story... absolutely inconclusive, and if you want to understand it—something entirely useless for the enjoyment of the film—you have to watch it at least 10 times. This is no coincidence; it is the most famous case of "plot dismemberment."

yeah okay but you'll realize that with 7000 dollars I would say it was tough to make an avatar...

no wait, El Mariachi by Rodriguez is a nice movie... period. Are you saying that Avatar and El Mariachi are on the same level?

PS: if you DO NOT want to see a film with a predictable plot and a ton of special effects, and you go to see Avatar, you’re an idiot (I mean, you must have understood what kind of movie it is considering how much they advertised it... Right?)

"Oh, the idea of cinema as a visual art is just part of the truth. If someone tells me I'm wrong for watching a film for its story because for that there's a good book, I kindly point out that for images there's photography." Yes, for visual arts there's photography, but also comics, paintings, and cinema. If you want to hear a good story, you read a book. That's it. If you want to go to the movies, then you're not basing it solely and exclusively on the story. Critiquing a film (any of them) by Cameron for its plot is like criticizing the Chemical Brothers because they don't have politically charged lyrics. Come on, they're the Chemical Brothers, not Guccini... and Cameron is Cameron, he will never be Gus Van Sant and he doesn't even care to be, and I, as someone who goes to see one of his films, don't care if it's like Van Sant. If I want to see Van Sant, I go watch Elephant; if I want to see Hitchcock, I watch North by Northwest, etc., etc. If you want to see a brilliantly made action film, you go to see Cameron. I quote comment 68 in full."

As for The Last Samurai, I share the same opinion as psychopompe, who is right to stop reading the comments and go watch the film with a clear mind.

Applauding in the cinema? ... Never! @ivoavido: that gaudy thing was completely provocative. It's not just alevox who is free to spout nonsense on this page to attract people... or is it? The fact remains that if this is gaudy, so is Dances with Wolves; this from a technical standpoint (direction, etc., I won’t elaborate otherwise alevox will claim I'm just throwing around technical terms (which everyone uses but never mind) does overshadow Dances with Wolves.
