when I was in film school "film bros" were specifically a variety of mediocre man (usually cishet and white) with zero imagination that would just glom onto the most popular "auteur filmmakers" in the US, like Tarantino and the Coen Brothers and even Nolan, and poorly attempt to mimic these guys without any of the skill or craft knowledge to know what it even is that they're truly trying to mimic. I mean, I suppose it's always been a nebulous colloquial term but that's basically how we as people in film always understood it. and seeing it be mutated into a pejorative for anyone with a deeper interest in film beyond trending Hollywood features is actually kind of shit. literally the opposite of what was being criticized.
