Modern Family: In the Moonlight (Do Me) (2009)
Never gets old ;)
This scene always gives me a giggle when I think about it.
Already got it on my Spotify Playlist :)
Richy Guitar (1985)
For "Die Ärzte" - Fans
I'm a huge fan of "Die Ärzte", I love this movie. If you don't know or don't like the Best Band in the world (official title :D), you don't need to see this movie. It has nothing special beside "Die Ärzte", sorry I'm biased :D.
I Care a Lot (2020)
Do you want to see a Satire about the Health Care System?
I don't think, many people understood what this movie wants to be. And this is because the movie delivers it way too late.
"I Care a Lot" is a satire about the Healthcare System, which is quite brilliant in delivering its message. The main character is a greedy villain, which has absolutely no good traits and turns into Rambo at the end of the movie. Everything she does works out fine, nothing that happens to her has any negative affect on her life or her mindset. She doesn't change at all through the runtime of the movie.
Many people think, the movie wants her to be an antihero, but it doesn't. It is fully aware of the fact that she is a hateful villain, because she needs to be to deliver the message at the end. People hate the movie, because she seems to win at the end, but this is exactly what the movie wants us to think. It's not a simple "She's bad at the beginning, but changes to good at the end"-movie, it wants to show how cruel the Health Care System is and that the bad guys seem to win at the end (unless the victims stand up against them).
Unfortunately it delivers this message at the ending after you watched 2 Hours of a villain mastering every obstacle faced in outrageously forced ways. (For example: She just destroys the Russian Mafia on her own, because they all seem to have gone braindead)
Understandable that many viewers didn't have the patience to think about the meaning of the ending after they watched a movie they hated the main part.
To conclude it: The movie works if you watch it as a satire about the Health Care System. It doesn't work as entertainment that you watch on a nice evening with good friends. All the decisions of the script make sense as a satire, but seem stupid in an entertaining movie.
Quite sad that the movie didn't achieve to connect the message with an entertaining and logical story, because the acting is brilliant.
