Conclusion
reddit.com/r/TrueFilm
Many people now consider discussing films at length to be a profession. Each film is an important piece of art, and the way someone responds to it can be different from person to person. Cinema teaches people how to critically think about art, and it can help revive pieces of art that seem dormant. When discussing films with friends, you want to provide an honest, fair reflection of the film and see if your friend changes their opinion of it. A good film can inspire you in ways you never thought possible, and it's important to share these experiences with others.
Starting today, we'll be reviewing one of the most challenging communities on reddit to think about films. And that community is r/TrueFilm.
My recent experience on r/TrueFilm
One of my recent experiences on r/TrueFilm was an engaging post that talked about a movie called Happiness that was released in 1998. For me, it was a below-average movie and one that wasn't quite memorable. But u/xoxoxoeleanor's post made me rethink about this film and give it another go. Upon doing so, I couldn't understand why I was finding this movie so fascinating which prior to that viewing was a forgettable title. All of a sudden, Happiness started to feel like an intelligent work of art, where people are responsible for the anguish of others. And it's a perfect chain. And I have nothing but deep admiration for the OP for changing my perception.
About r/TrueFilm - Community & Members
According to the community's description, r/TrueFilm is a place where members can discuss movies in-depth. This subreddit has 236,000 members and 500-800 of them are online at any given time. TrueFilm was created on October 16, 2011 and has grown steadily since then. However, it is nowhere near the clout that r/MovieDetails has gathered in recent years. However, it is still an informative community where members can learn about movies and appreciate Cinema at large.
If you enjoy discussing movies in detail with like-minded individuals, then this subreddit is definitely for you! This community is filled with passionate opinions and unique perspectives, which can provide some valuable insight into a title. However, it's important to remember that your thoughts and reactions will have an impact on others. So share what you've learned and spark some lively discussion!
How to access r/TrueFilm?
If you are not currently a registered Reddit user, you will need to create an account and confirm your email address in order to join the True Films subreddit. Once you have done so, you will be able to follow subreddits, comment on posts, and even post content on any of the subreddits.
Moderators of r/TrueFilm
I'm impressed by the number of moderators on r/TrueFilm. I love to see groups like these managed by numerous moderators to ensure smooth functioning. At the time of writing this review, I found 10 moderators on this subreddit - ?Nixon74?, ?IFeelOstrichSized?, ?hydra815?, ?bulcmlifeurt?, ?BPsandman84?, ?AstonMartin_007?, ?TheGreatZiegfeld?, ?PantheraMontana?, ?AutoModerator?, and ?Pulpfiction1232?.
Why should you follow r/TrueFilm?
On r/TrueFilm, you can always expect thought-provoking content. Hundreds of posts are updated each day, and the top post of the day usually manages to surpass 1000 upvotes. In terms of content variety, you'll find reviews, hot-takes, queries, featured stories, direction, character appreciation, and more. Even if you only dip your toe into the world of movies, this thread will help you develop a deep appreciation for cinema.
Community Engagement
Although r/TrueFilm is not the most active movie-based community, it does have over two million members. Out of those, only 500 are considered ?active? at any given time. This means that you have a large number of people to interact with, as well as the opportunity to share your views and gain support from others. The discussion in the comment section is amazing and helps me see movies through different lens.
Browsing & Navigation
Since only a few hundred people are currently using r/TrueFilm, browsing and navigating the subreddit is seamless. Furthermore, there is no video content and thus you can browse the subreddit even if you have a substandard internet connection. No Tumblr or twitch hosted images/videos means that you no longer need to visit the third-party website to watch the content. The page loads instantly and, so far, I haven't encountered any problems with this subreddit.
Reddit Gold
It's funny how memes and other forms of content are able to attract a lot of attention. However, insightful posts with sensible content aren't for anyone, especially when it's movie related. This page specifically caters to a niche where the users don't weigh post or comment appreciation in gold. Throughout the subreddit, I could only find 1-2 gold being awarded every day. Sure, that's not much but I don't feel r/TrueFilm needs it anyways.
Filter by flair
I find the Filter by Flair option on this subreddit to be disappointing because it only has one option, Fun, which is not diverse enough. I hope that the moderators try to sort the content on this subreddit so that it is more easily accessible based upon people's taste. They could also adopt some of the flairs from r/MovieDetails, such as Review, Personal Preference, Trivia, Unsung Content, and Mass Appeal.
Important rules you must know before joining r/TrueFilm?

Design
I found that r/TrueFilm has a generic design with a Saturn logo as we saw with r/scifi and r/entertainment. Even the cover is a single light blue color background. I'm sure the mods can look into this and improve it in order to help it stand out.
