from the HN guidelines:
What to Submit
On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.
I would argue that a thoughtful analysis of a film widely regarded to be one of the best films ever made is definitely something that gratifies intellectual curiosity. Furthermore, the fact that the post has attracted high-quality discussion and a high number of upvotes suggests that many hackers do, indeed, find this interesting. I hope you have a wonderful evening!
- sublinear 4y agoI hope you also have a wonderful evening/night but I wouldn't call this "high quality discussion". If the comments were technical in nature and direct from the people involved in the creation of this film, I would agree. Otherwise this is just a nostalgic circle jerk. The quality of posts on HN is vital to the continuation of the platform and this is hardly such an example. As I said, this is not reddit.
