Right now, you’re giving me major Green Ant Top vibes.
I'll give you this: Aguirre is consistent. He always delivers.
Heart of Glass? Too shaky for me. I don't think it holds up against the rest.
Cobra Verde actually works, though. It's got something.
And Fitzcarraldo.
I found Kaspar Hauser interesting—not sure how it would land today, though.
Woyzeck always felt a bit sketchy to me.
I could stomach Stroszek back in the day, but looking back, it feels like nothing more than pretentious nonsense.
The Dwarfs are starting to head down that same path of pure pretension.
As for Rescue Dawn, I have no clue. I felt nothing watching it; it just doesn't stand out.

Henry Fisher74 said:This example isn't actually being exploited; it sounds more like just a poorly executed plan.

In that situation, you could have handled things personally, and then you would've been sure everything went where you intended.

If you're asking generally—as if this is a recurring pattern rather than a one-off—it's probably not exploitation, just a lack of smooth interaction on your part.

And honestly, being good is fine, but being a saint is just being a fool. 😁
You need to find your limit and set boundaries with certain people. Also, maybe don't expect everyone else to act the same way you do.

Yeah.
This whole situation is just as much about pure carelessness and nonchalance as it is about "good intentions." Honestly, it wasn't exactly the smartest way to handle things. This kind of clumsiness really highlights how much the person asking the question—and the topic itself—needs to take a much harder, more honest look at themselves.

If I actually want to be a decent person, I can't go around dragging third parties into my mess—especially when I'm pulling them into my drama against their will.
If I’m going to leave furniture for the building manager, I might as well do it myself. It’s safer that way. Why would I hire some third party to handle it for me? That person doesn't have to care about my plans, and for all I know, they probably view the whole thing as a massive, unnecessary headache. If this matters to me, I need to step up, get involved, and get it done personally.
