Has there ever been a film
A true film (no documentary or other) that had no conflict of any form whatsoever?
|
The Old Man and the Sea?
|
There can't be a story without conflict. That includes the Old Man and the Sea.
|
Shawshank Redemption?
|
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
|
I recall My Dinner With Andre being pretty restrained. Other than the scene where the waiter tries to rob them, almost nothing conflicting happens in it.

Teletubbies: Funny Day
In this installment, the colorful teletubbies have lots of fun. Tinky Winky, Po, La La, and Dipsy blow bubbles, finger paint, unravel a ball of twine, play musical seats, entertain a cloud that has floated indoors, and much more. Lots of messes and silly activities will keep the under-four crowd highly entertained. |
I just watched Before Sunrise the other day and I can't recall any conflict in that one.

Originally posted by Tandem Teletubbies: Funny Day In serious reply to the question, I'm sure there are probably quite a few comedies and otherwise that didn't have any prominent conflict involved. I've never seen a Cheech and Chong movie, but I picture something along those lines. An off-the wall film is about the only place I could picture there being any complete lack of conflict. If by "true film" you exclude zany movies without much of a plot, then probably not. There have to be at least a couple, but they were probably so forgettable with the abscence of conflict that no one here would remember them. |
Originally posted by John-In-VA I just watched Before Sunrise the other day and I can't recall any conflict in that one. Man vs. Man - Convincing the bartender to sell them a bottle of wine at a discount Man vs. Nature - We only have one day to spend with each other. Let's make the most of it! We're history before sunrise! |
My chief complaint with Il Postino is that there's no conflict. Everything the protagonist sets out to do, he does with no problem or obstacles whatsoever.

The closest I can think of:
My Dinner with Andre Orgy of the Dead Waking Life Swimming to Cambodia Blue (Jarman) Thirteen Conversations About One Thing The Phantom of Liberty |
Empire by Andy Warhol. It's just an eight-hour shot of a building.

So all we have is Empire?!
I think even that is conflicting in itself, the very name Empire has conflict growing out of it and around it. |
