The only good thing about it is the subtext of "fuck you" to the film industry. The entire film was made out of spite and that is dripping from the script.
Yes, but it wasn't really subtext. There is a scene where they literally say warner Bros would have done this with or without us...
But yeah, fuck the film industry for the most part.
Idr the last time a decent movie came out...
Have you been living under a rock?
Please name 5 movies that have come out since 2020 that don't suck.
Thanks!
Both Dunes, everything everywhere all at once, Oppenheimer, barbie, the DnD movie, spider-verse 2, puss in boots the last wish, the batman, the French dispatch, asteroid city. There are plenty more I'm sure, but those are the ones I could come up with off the top of my head.
Don't Look Up.
Dune
Dune 2
Barbie
That's all I got, but I just woke up. I'm sure there are more. It's weird that two of them are remakes of a movie from the 80's, which itself was a remake of a novel, and two of them are statements about our society. I suppose there's a lot of discontentment in our society as of late.
So basically you are saying the only good movie that's come out in the last 4 years is Dune?
Yeah I haven't watched it yet, but that's about the only recent movie I have even thought about watching.
I came here to get away from the mind virus....
Nah, I'm saying that's all I could think of off the top of my head. I've mostly been watching series the last few years. They did a great job with Dune. Check it out! I'd watch the first immediately and then go see the second at the theater. It's a great movie for the big screen.
There was no "us". Lilly minded her business.
I don't think 'subtext' is an accurate way to describe the most blatant and in your face approach to getting a point across.
First 30 mins takes place in a studio full of creatives watching their life's work get torn to shreds, rehashed and commodified by out of touch executives. Idk, pretty subtle.
Yea it's definitely a unique vibe to watch a high-budget action film that basically doesn't really want to exist and is chucking a fit about it.
For my money, as a fan of the original (being old enough to see it in the cinemas and experience as essentially my generation's star wars IMO) ... I actually enjoyed watching it once I realised it wasn't really a proper film but some sort of riff on a feeling.
Additionally, I actually appreciated the core in-universe premise of the film, which I think gets forgotten or overshadowed by everything else about the film.
