Film Major's Disapproval
Categories
Explanation
Alright, listen up, not-so-smart-bear! This meme is making fun of film majors, yeah, those folks who study movies like it's rocket science. They often act like anything popular is trash and only obscure, super artsy, or historically 'important' films are worth anything. The meme exaggerates that by describing an impossibly specific and ridiculous film: a 'Macedonian epic from a potato's perspective in the 1500s, in proto-Indian English, shot in black and white for film reasons.' The 'film reasons' part is extra sarcastic, implying they'd justify anything pretentious. The guy in the pic, Gus Fring from Breaking Bad, has this super unimpressed, judgmental look that perfectly captures how a stereotypical film major might react when you tell them your favorite movie is, like, a Marvel flick or something. Get it? You probably still don't.
