I might be a normie pleb, but I watched these two films on Netflix and they are terrific imo. What are some other kinos with heavy themes of death and morality?

Stop using these things, literally.
Death and Morality are big big themes and can be found basically anywhere since it's an important part of the human experience.
If you want big themes I'll give them to you tho
>The Seventh Seal (Bergman)
This one is really famous and has some of the most iconic imagery in cinema history. Death is literally a character in this movie and the protagonists are Crusaders.
This is also a good starting point for Bergman who often dealt with serious and heavy themes, it's also a good showcase of what made Begman one of the greatest.
>Wild Strawberries (Bergman)
Another Bergman. This one even bigger than the Seventh Seal imho, It's a massive movie that would be accepted as the definitive testament for most directors but Bergman was so good that he was just getting started with them masterpieces. It's about an old professor revisiting places of memories while on a road trip to get a prize for his career.
If you don't cry for this movie you are an asshole.
Title in english kind of sucks: The orginal is Smultronstället which means literally the place where strawberries grows but also an idiom for a nearly forgotten place with personal or sentimental value
>Ikiru (Kurosawa)
Great movie by the Great Kurosawa the movie deals with a dying Japanese burocrat last wish.
Not the best introduction to Kurosawa but one of my favorites.

You're not wrong.

If you've ever contemplated suicide I highly advise you to go through with it.
>What are some other kinos with heavy themes of death and morality?
No clue try Dante's Inferno from 1911, contrary to what most normalfags like you so I can't blame you for asking this the best artists and intellectuals are not concerned with mortality they've already come to terms with death, so really there isn't much in terms for the genre you're looking for.

I let the others recommend on death and morality, but I had to take this chance to bring up another fantastic, if not the best Sean Penn movie.

Ironically out of everything you just said, that was the one thing that didn't offend me.

You've never had anyone interrupt you during a conversation and correct you, much less bring it up rightfully during an argument?

What argument? You didn't do any. Just insulted OP, nodded to the fact that I proposed famous films to OP, called bergman a jew and then insulted me.
No, this kind of shit doesn't really happen in the real world.

That's not the point dipshit, it's that often times people point out grammar and spelling mistakes in all fields not just one's online.

You clearly weren't.

I called him Bernstein to mock him he's clearly not a jew.

Once again, we're talking about a certain aspect of this argument you don't seem to be able to comprehend.

>Fucking normalfag.
I'm attacking op and the frog because their taste in film is too normalfag and Reddit tier,i.e me mentioning Kubrick in addition to the frogs list of Kurosawa and Bergman. You failed even when using a simple foolproof argument like saying "No u."

I already knew that what you were trying to say was "too normalfag and Reddit tier" don't worry. But I hoped that there was a bit more juice to your argument. Obviously there's not.
>I swear to God, /film/ hasn't been this shit since 2014.
2014 /film/ was also against people who's only argument was "muh normalfag".

Oh, I'm sorry, did you want me to write a whole book criticizing all 3 directors and calling them overrated? Were you about to defend them if I did? There isn't much to be said in these kinds of arguments.

2014 /film/ were normalfags. That's my point.

Yes, I'd like you to make an actual argument on why Bergman is shit and on his films on the same level of the one op posted.
>There isn't much to be said in these kinds of arguments.
Then shut the fuck up
>2014 /film/ were normalfags. That's my point.
Misread your post. The whole point of this board was to discuss film without /tv/ childish attitude, then people like you who's only argument was muh normies came along and this place became slightly more pretentious /tv/.
See you don't even want to fucking discuss stuff, you just came in call people normies and tell them to kill themself. That's what your posts amount to. You could have used that energy to talk shit about Bergman and make an actual argument.

Bergman isn't shit, he's just overrated. You gave op a dud however. Even with the worst of 8chan we should still treat each other better than the best of Reddit.

That's not the point of /film/ otherwise I'm making a Troll 2 and MCU general to discuss it in a serious fashion.

I do just not on garbage threads.

So anyway I would recommend Forest of Bliss, which is a documentary about the holy city of Varanasi, India. Be warned I might be spoiling the documentary by explaining the background, since minimal explanation is given as you watch it. But Varanasi is a destination for many Hindus at the end of their life. They all wish to die in the city.
<In the ancient Hindu scripture, Matsya Purana, Lord Shiva says, “Varanasi is my most sacred place, the cause of liberation. All sins, which may have accumulated in thousands of previous lives, disappear if one dies here.”
So there's nothing quite like Varanasi in the rest of the world, a city where constant human death has been an integral part of the daily routine for centuries. Since death is desired, it's no longer tragic. However some scenes are rather unhygienic by our standards. Don't drink the Ganges.

Reminds me of this Jon Ronson documentary Reverend Death. Ronson likes to follow around oddballs, and this time it's an assisted suicide minister. Most right-to-die advocates prefer to deal with terminally ill patients, but strictly avoid mentally ill or depressed people who are sick of living. Enter "Reverend Death", a man who will help just about anyone kill themselves.
I don't know if OP wanted this sort of thing but maybe someone else will be interested.

It's a good silent fantasy film, a highlight of the early 1910's, but how did this film enhance your understanding of mortality?
>the best artists and intellectuals are not concerned with mortality they've already come to terms with death
They say this or you assume this? I don't think it's true. Even if it were, coming to terms with mortality does not preclude someone from ever again talking about, thinking about, learning about, or making films about death. Why should the mindset of these artists limit our own exploration of this issue?
A few more relevant documentaries.
