A quick definition of bad faith:

Bad faith means being dishonest or fraudulent in a deal or transaction. This can happen when someone doesn't act fairly or doesn't keep their promises. It's like when you make a deal with a friend to share your toys, but then they don't share their toys with you. That's bad faith because they didn't keep their promise.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Bad faith refers to dishonesty or fraud in a transaction. It means that someone is not acting honestly or fairly in a situation where they have a duty to do so. This can include a dishonest belief or purpose, untrustworthy performance of duties, neglect of fair dealing standards, or a fraudulent intent. It is often related to a breach of the obligation inherent in all contracts to deal with the other parties in good faith and with fair dealing.

A car salesman who sells a car that they know is defective without telling the buyer is acting in bad faith.
An insurance company that denies a legitimate claim without a valid reason is acting in bad faith.
A landlord who refuses to make necessary repairs to a rental property is acting in bad faith.

These examples illustrate how bad faith can occur in different situations. In each case, someone is not acting honestly or fairly, and is not fulfilling their obligations to the other party. This can lead to legal consequences and damages for the party who was harmed by the bad faith behavior.

How does the movie promote that lifestyle as good? I don’t know that that’s justified by the contents of the film

You could say that his interaction with his sister and the scene at the end where he’s alternately laughing and crying show that maybe he does have regrets or is not entirely satisfied with his life

Dkk

Too me if you blatantly leave out an alternative you leave the average viewer with one option and the average viewer is impressionable so it's promoting it.

@babycat: I mean, maybe but again, left too ambiguous.

babycat

15:11

I don’t think the movie is responsible for the intelligence of the average viewer and I don’t think it needs to have an unambiguous moral message to be a good film

babycat

This is like those people who say that Lolita is ontologically evil because it’s from the perspective of the narrator. You need to be comfortable with ambiguity in life

babycat

15:12

The movie or book doesn’t have to tell you how to feel

well with lolita maybe some versions don't have it but at least in the original russian publication the foreword of the book is that this is a court transcript of his confession

jackfrost11770

15:13

so yeah it does tell you how to feel because it shows every description of her is completely untrue and warped

jackfrost11770

but nabokov published much weirder shit than lolita as wild as that is lol

babycat

I think it can be ambiguous, but it should be something the viewer should be able to figure out. If not then what is the point. In terms of audience intelligence, I don't think the highest level of movie watchers would care for this movie. I think the opposite. The movie does not appeal to the highest level of movie watchers. It also doesn't appeal to like the lowest level either. It just tells a simple story that comes off as propoganda.

jackfrost11770

15:16

yeah you're right thank you

jackfrost11770

15:16

i agree dkk if we are talking about lolita

babycat

15:16

we’re talking about the movie perfect days by wim wenders

jackfrost11770

15:17

unfortunately it very much distills the actual novel which yeah i mean that is typical of any film ever so it's not profound of me to say that

LSDFan

Does the status date disappearing on GW mean something?

Dkk

Ahh nah was talking about the Japanese movie. And I would say how people are comfortable with ambiguity can be completely different. I feel as if when I see ambiguity I just say whatever, but when others see it they obsess over it to the point they gain anxiety and it is not healthy. Engaging with ambiguity is not something that should be encouraged.
