Glass Onion (2022)
A short manual for future audience
1. Things to forget: forget everything about "Knives out sequel", "Agatha Christie", "Whodunit", "Crime-thriller-comedy-whatever", "Solving puzzle", "Fun"...
2. Things to focus on: Focus on "LinkedIn posts where someone with no skills and with fake-bought education-degree tries to convince the rest of the world that something disruptive happened", "people that teach others about the things they did not have their own -skin in the game-, but they have strong message and good storytelling" , "people that teach others how to become successful/rich/mindful, but their own success is based only on their story how to become successful/rich/mindful", "Every content that contains -ChatGPT-, -Next Big Thing-, -Two years ago I had no job and now I am CEO of something you didn't hear about...-", "45 second recipes videos where all fruit/vegetables preparation jobs are not included, but all blender/food processor cleaning is done in the second"...
3. If your transition from "work hard" into "work smart" ended in "I want something for nothing", maybe this movie will not be pleasant enough for you.
The Green Knight (2021)
"Ain't Give" Millennial's quest for knighthood
I don't consider this movie as an attempt to tell a story about Sir Gawain as it is, but to answer the question "What would it look like if a spoiled Millennial tried to become a knight?!", or to satisfy an ambition of his "It is important to succeed, no matter how" type of mother. Putting entire story in some 21st century context would make it less poetic, so the author decided to connect everything to the roots and turn it upside down to the level of the infinite misery of the pseudo-emancipated predatory minds. Virtueless, but self-entitled for success, they are not able to survive by following the simple rule: "Don't do to others what you don't want to do to yourself." Ain't Give?! Give Ain't?! Gawain?! Call him whatever you like. There is no Sir before his name.
Emerald City (2016)
Pointless wasting of time
The Emerald City has great cinematography, costume and overall it is placed in well designed "world", but it has so many thrilling shifts that will lead to the pointless climax, that introduces the spectator to the sequel that never happens.
Don't Look Up (2021)
Don't look up. Do something. Considering anything.
I really don't consider this movie as a line of separation between Republicans and Democrats, or between climate deniers and climate change activists. Or between anything else. For me, this movie is about numbness for everything that needs our real, non-social network reaction, in the real world, and about true "weight" of information, based on TV channel, mentioning by celebrity, number of shares, catchy hashtag, or anything else that "counts" as important and points to the only, ultimate truth. That, "ultimate truth", must be funny and it must stay at the level of consumable and forgettable information, without call for doing anything - but waiting for the new fun, new information, new important short-time obsession.
The Village (2004)
Do not invest your time in this
I watched this movie because of a cast. But it was not worth it. The movie is not even a kind of movies without quality, but with some ability to somehow "make you think about certain subject". Everything in this movie is pointless. The group of people "create" a world for curing their own traumas, but whole story is about traumas they intentionally made to their own children, with artificial fears and robbing their own privacy. The "mystery moment" is made with continuously building secret, which unwinding will be so cheap, that the whole secret building becomes too artificial. Some people criticize the ending of the movie, but the ending is just a sign that there was not an true idea what this movie should look like. I really do not think this movie is worth watching.
Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga (2020)
Thank you, Will
This is one of the best Will Ferrell movies and, this is not just a comedy. This is a movie about overwhelming decadence/snobism/attitude that one has the world under his/her feet on the one side, and true people on the other side. Uniqueness, free of any kind of flawlessness, even free of any claim to be a winner, wins. Thank you, Will.
Zoe (2018)
This is not "a movie about robots".
What is real? What makes you exist?
Why do we believe that so many strange "What"s in our life truly understand who we are, no matter is it our dog or some random person from the market, and without any consideration of the fact that we are not interested in them as we want they be interested in us? Why do we so easy relate with so many online avatars, even if we know that will never meet that people in the "real" life? Is there any existence of Me without the mirror called another person and could I feel any satisfaction in life if nobody recognizes me as a such? Or I am real and my existence is true if my emotions are on the "fall in love" level and the mirror in front of me is literally anyone?
What is real? What makes me exist?
Maybe the answer starts with changing "What" to "Who" and appreciating the fact that even for my greater experience of myself relationship with another Person is needed.
(Addition, maybe not for people who didn't watch the movie...)
Every person needs to be recognized and "seen" from the other person. We have to be recognized and "seen" as well as capable to recognize and "see" the others. Doremus made a movie about the world full of human beings not capable of do it and the victory of Products - "Benysol" and non-unique "Zoe" clones. Why victory?! Well, maybe because the most widespread and the most non-unique human trait is "I just wanna be loved by literally anyone and I do not care who you are as long as I get from you what I want"... Maybe we just want to consume our existence from some unimportant, expendable and easily replaceable Product? Nothing else... Maybe we do not desire to make/recognize other human being a Person, but just a source of comfort and pleasure? Cole (Ewan McGregor) tried to do that, but it's not enough for the existence of that other Person, required for his own self and his own sense of existence, too. Lets simplify: Some other guy in some other movie kissed fictional Na'vi girl on fictional planet and told her "Oel ngati kameie." (I see You.) Do we want to see, or just to be seen?
