I’ve dipped Black Mirror After Season 5. I can’t talk about what happened afterwards, but by then, I feel like I’m going to get rid of Charlie Brooker’s special view of our ever-changing social landscape. If I’m honest, then the show has never been better than the first two episodes, either, even if it has more creative stories or better produced plots afterwards.
I’ve been thinking about those Black Mirror Plot – “National Anthem” and “Ten Millions of Victories” – When I Watch Ali Aster’s Latest Panic Dream Eddington. This is the apocalyptic collapse drawn by Aster in the global pandemic and the global nightmare of the society that has taken over since then.
Shoot in all directions
Of course, most of this society is about our phone calls, social media and how we succumb to evil mentality in every direction. since Eddington It’s a irony, trying to entangle every politicized angle and alignment, and this movie will have a lot of movies that legally anger or foolishly agree to, because you see it as face value.
Aster will surely capture his paranoia by the climax of the movie, and Sheriff Joe Cross (Joaquin Phoenix) shoots the ghost’s gun in a ghost town. Like the rest of Aster’s films, the paranoid moments that emanate from the feeling are not “proposing an opinion.” It feels like the peak of Aster’s special fear choosing the form of the story’s spoiler.
Eddington Set to May 2020, but it is not about becoming a serious period of some kind. It’s a kind of argument, and like musician Nick Lutsko does in his song “2021,” the horrible enthusiasm that arises from the shared lockdown never stops. We have been fishing each other under a spell called America, but what does that even mean besides violent noise?
Art is not always about the answer
While I may feel stronger about some more than other themes in Aster’s Crosshair, it is undeniable that he is still using the movie to express his anxiety in the only sound he feels fluent: the movie. Yes, it’s an excuse for “men will make two and a half movies, not to go to heal”. I don’t quite agree with this because I think art is often therapy, but I hope Aster has spoken with professionals about his mother’s issues.
I’m thinking about this movie, too Sparrow Creek’s Confrontationa rural paranoid fantasy real, reveals that there is no real hero to see. Eddington It is a slow, aggressive, uncomfortable and desolate cry that calls for the empty darkness of the so-called values of America. Aster once said that the final shot of the film is his strongest statement in the film, accusation of indifference about the country’s true new borders.
I can’t recommend reality or Eddington
I really don’t recommend it Eddington To anyone. Even for Hell driver Ari Aster, its topical ambitions are too great to make something completely powerful. But this is a dream, and the dream does not consider “meaning”. As a nightmare, Eddington It feels like we are the place where America is. In the movie, one character says they encourage someone to “do their own research” as a poke, often a suggestion that is often stagnant in the conspiracy rabbit hole.
When I entered the car park and went home, the driver adjusted the radio to a political talk show, and the host said he encouraged the audience to “do their own research.” This is the perfect reminder of Mirror Aster sticking to us. Naturally, the driver is using his cell phone, and our ubiquitous little black mirror plays the radio.
I have to rate the movies and performances with a five-star rating. I’ve stopped doing this on my Letterboxd account because I don’t like to treat art (especially the goal of Art is to try to get you angry/discomfort/confused, etc.), like the refrigerator I’m doing consumer reports. So my rating is more about what I think is success Eddington Its so-called goals are being achieved.
