    Nope. Certainly NOT especially with THIS movie. Some people just need therapy more than others. Listening to Ari Aster in several interviews draws me to the conclusion that he might need therapy. The way Ari speaks is wishy-washy as if not certain in what he's saying. Even his body language is off in this interview or maybe it's just those uncomfortable cheap chairs. Lol

    Closer and closer to the David Lynch things... Aspecially third season of Twin Peaks ... When you have some line of emotionions... Immitaeted by art... But true in some inner way... And combinateted in a line of something touching then evil... Then funny and so on... But I still feel like Lynch give more lifeabilty to his spaces... You can watch that sometimes strange,asbsurdic spaces and characters for an endless time... Just even not doing anything Inner rules ... Like a clockwork... Some figures a making all the things they have to make... Over and over again.. (First act of Beau is closer to that...I thing... His run among the fears feels like daily routine)

    Being someone with severe anxiety disorder (which often makes it hard for me to make my own decisions) and gaslit and manipulated by my parents while growing up (constant feelings of guilt over things I didn't actually do were common), I related to this movie quite a bit. I also have nightmare disorder and have bad dreams and nightmares on a pretty regular basis, and felt that Beau Is Afraid really captured the somewhat illogical emotional rollercoaster of a very bad dream. Hereditary is still my favorite Aster film (and one of my favorite horror films of all time), but Beau is still pretty great IMO, and I recommend at least 2 viewings. Some have an issue with the length, but at the 1hr 25min mark, when he enters the forest, due to the complete tonal shift it's a good moment to be able to stop and finish it up later if need be.

    I’m autistic and to me the movie felt like the most accurate representation of life as an autistic person (with a gaslighting mom with a personality disorder). The way everyone behaves so irrationally and get angry at you for no reason. And it feels like everyone else knows something that you don’t all the time. I suspect Aster is autistic but is undiagnosed or hadn’t disclosed it yet. His brother is, and as neurodevelopmental disorders are hereditary, it stands to reason he could be.

    I had a really negative, gutteral reaction to this movie at first. I loved Hereditary and Midsommar so much but I felt like this one was a lot harder to process because it was so frenetic and crazy. I think that watching the interviews helps give me a better sense of what he was going for. I almost feel like this film needs to be seen twice. As an aspiring filmmaker I look up to this guy a lot, and I really admire how bold his vision is.

    I don't know... For some reason second time is not quite working...for me... With Midsommar there are some enigmatic details that you can explore. But I don't feel that in highly influence main meanings, whatever do you feel it like a huge twist and manipulatation or not. Here in Beau... I watched it second time. And really nothing happend... No puzzle came togather cause I feel it is not puzzled. Mostly it have a series of intense emotions that we have in a line... Emotions edeting ...(a bit Lynch style maybe ) But that spaces and emotions... They are mostly conceptional... Yes as he said main charachter Beau is the main base ... That is real... Grounded... Psychological understandiable... In this cartoon around him So yes ... Line of scenes, stages, spaces Are a bit pure concepts You don't get more of them over times of watching.. As I feel Best act and space...for me it the House of this wierd family.... It looks like some very common ... Very understandiable genre... But same way have this perfect rithm of nonstopping background movement... And hidden absurdic logic that only family members took as something simple (Like a classical absurd plays ) But a lot if life brought into this... More then in pure choreography of street people in the first act .

    Eraserhead is the most logical comparison, to me. Is there another film that y’all think is more comparable? Beau is much funnier I think but the abstraction and fear-centric nightmare device seems to work very similarly. And come to think of it, Eraserhead is also funny and I think that the thing I appreciate the most about both films is that- if the assumption is that we are in a nightmare realm then I have a very vivid image of what these men’s real lives and internal lives are really like, maybe even more so than if the films were actually ‘about’ there lives. They are both at a crux. Beau, I think is on the brink of a breakthrough with his therapist and he is very single and with mommy issues. Whereas Henry Spencer is married (maybe regretfully) with a child on the way (again maybe regretfully). This concept gives intention to all of the surreal elements. I enjoyed reflecting on Beau the next day and recognizing what it is I remember and how I remember it, much like a dream or nightmare right after waking.

Regarding this lineup of films in his Lincoln Center selection, he elaborated on how important they were, or if they were afterthoughts rather than conscious inspiration (often giving specific reasons that the films were in the lineup). He also spoke about his intended meaning for the play scene, as well as his interpretation of the film as an ourobouros snake.

    The film is obviously an allegory for the establishment keeping control of citizens thru fear. Pharma, currency, food, water, surveilence, sex, court system, and more are used in the film as a weapon to control beau much like we see today in our lives. Tons of social issues are hit on as well, gun control, social media, veterans mistreatment, american dream, and much more. In this brilliant film. I owe it another watch where i could really break more down. I havent seen anyone explore this side of this brilliant film. Beau is afraid will age like a fine wine.

    I love the Lincoln Center interviews because you get a really raw take that draws questions from something people just witnessed but good lord can you guys work on getting hosts that are a little more succinct with their questions? I feel like every time I watch these I watch people stumble through their own thoughts for a minute straight until they’re finally able to get these questions out. I always feel so bad for the people being interviewed while you watch their brain try and decode what the question actually was in this jumbled paragraph sized ramble from the hosts. KISS. Keep it simple stupid.

    I don’t like how Ari said he thought of this movie as “blowing up all 3 of those movies” as if he doesn’t want to go with that creative vision …. Meanwhile I want that exact thing but more from him in that way …. They are all filmed so anxiety inducing like nothing I’ve ever seen before and I hope he continues to create this level of greatness … to me he’s the next Kubrick

    i don't think he made it for any specific audience since he said he began working on it so long ago. even in the short film from 2011 you can tell it was meant to represent anxiety & paranoia. the theme is already in his work, regardless of when it was made. this just happened to lean more into surrealism, but again the idea was already there since 2011.

The film is totally unique, infuriating, so over the top it's funny, and impossible to forget. The biggest question remains, what will he come up with next?

    Completely agree with this, but from what I’ve read a lot of his influence isn’t rooted from family trauma, as he mentions he has a good relationship with all his family. This being said, an in depth convo around what this movie “can” be is so needed vs very high level conversations like this, as much as he says it doesn’t mean much…I know there’s a inner thread that makes this movie make more sense (still absolutely loved it)

    It looks like he honestly thought it would just be funny. Which has a sadistic undertone I find disturbing. That movie is 3 hours of trauma dumping, as the kids say. What amazes me is the amount of money and resources that went onto making it. Blah, blah, “it’s art”,,.though it’s more than that. Every movie is a virus that’ll program you. So who thought this virus should be made and shown? Think about that.
