Lee BeckmannGUEST
No.

People were suggesting everything from Marcel in Proust's In Search of Lost Time to Tom Canty in Mark Twain's The Prince and the Pauper.
speaker_2HOST
They were bringing up films like Robert Altman's Gosford Park and Whit Stillman's Metropolitan.

The sheer volume of examples across different mediums and centuries proves just how universally recognizable this power dynamic really is.
speaker_2HOST
We all navigate these invisible high stakes micro boundaries of class and belonging every single day of our lives, whether we consciously realize it or not.
Theodore BelucasGUEST
We missed that summer with Vincent Fremont from the, from, uh, the Warhol Factory there, who knows me from a panel that I, that I ran.
Theodore BelucasGUEST
I'm thinking, "What else did I..." Whit Stillman.
Theodore BelucasGUEST
I'm, uh, ha- you know, hanging out with Chloe Sevigny.
Theodore BelucasGUEST
And I mean, like [laughs] I have all these, like, legitimate moments that are nowhere to be seen, but now I'm making this film with this crew.
Gregory PineHOST
So she herself is an actress.
Gregory PineHOST
Some folks, another director that sometimes people will mention these conversations is Whit Stillman.
Gregory PineHOST
So folks will be maybe familiar with Metropolitan, but another famous film of his is Damsels in Distress.

Zeth LundyHOST
I wanted cinema to show me something I had not seen before or show me something I had seen before, but through an entirely different point of view.
Zeth LundyHOST
This is why I gravitated that year to films like Rushmore by Wes Anderson, The Coen Brothers' The Big Lebowski, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Terry Gilliam, The Truman Show by Peter Weir, Whit Stillman's The Last Days of Disco, and Steven Soderbergh's Out of Sight, to name a few.
Zeth LundyHOST
And this is not to say that I had something against blockbusters, because 98 is also the year of Saving Private Ryan, a mega blockbuster.
Zeth LundyHOST
But just like the other films that I just listed, Saving Private Ryan felt like something I'd never seen before.
TJ DaweHOST
That's how it seemed to me.
Mario SikoraHOST
yeah uh i'm a little more with tj and gracia on this one i mean i i enjoyed the movie i did find myself thinking okay how much time is left here uh and that could be because i was watching it late in the evening so but uh and and and i there were things about it i loved and things about it that i thought were yeah and one of the things i loved about it it had that feeling of I know there's some movies like, I think of Whit Stillman's movies, right? Metropolitan or Barcelona that are in these elegant, beautiful places and this class of life and lifestyle that I am certainly not part of, right? But that seems sort of- Not yet.
Mario SikoraHOST
You'll get
TJ DaweHOST
there.
