I just don't think it's doing enough with the Kenny character to justify a reading like this

It is

he literally says he bought it from poor artist who were performing multiple characters lol . They were essentially performing Agosto boal theater of the oppressed . He has the ability to trace any phone in the world even when she has no signal in the sky or Jamaica and may not even have phone charge . He conveniently gets phone call she is okay at climax of the film? Kenny orchestrated the plot of the entire play in both realities and that’s the point . That’s why their reality is like a a play too and the alarm plays during the credits too it’s a play within a play

think I may catch this tmrw

Booktok sounds crazy

It's full of larpers who lack basic critical thinking skills

fair play this is hilarious

the play is America . Those outside America know both plays . America views third world countries as the end of the film . Views it as a distant feature when in many ways it’s us now. It’s a movie about American exceptionalism

Just outrageously disrespectful to the best satirical film of all time

Nah give it time bro, this s*** definitely getting a reappraisal in 10 years max

No it’s not Americans never accept their own exceptionalism especially leftist who operate on lesser evil .

I didn't know this was a satire film going into it tbh, in fact I didn't know what the f*** I was going into, I just wanted to peep Tom Cruise and seeing him in a fat suit like Tropic Thunder got me intrigued.

That being said I was not expecting to f***ing absolutely love this movie.

Set design.
Casting.
Dialogue.

Everything was so good.

I also haven't seen that many satires so my only really reference point is Dr Strangelove especially because they share some themes to an extent.

Dude best idea ever lmfao and honestly that f***ing sequnce or set piece at the European Council was f***ing nuts to watch. I think it might be hands down my favorite moment in film all year.

Aside from everything with Ganesh || which absolutely hilarious. Even the first || war room scene so good.

Also, some of the murals in the background and the symbols in them reminded me of some Denver Airport Conspiracy type of s*** obviously not UFO's lol but those murals were picked for a reason. They also told a tale in some aspect. There was an underlying meaning to it.

Phenoenal movie. Even if I didn't take the tab I don't see how I wouldn't have enjoyed it.

Real again I wish it leaned even more into absurdity . See how society was portrayed during it

Can’t wait to rewatch to look for details especially the tv screens . People next to me noticed the mannequins and I was like what are they pointing at

this a dad movie instaclassic?

The twist is genuinely the only redeeming thing about this movie

Idk if you can even call it a twist since it's revealed so early. It being intentionally left out of marketing doesn't make it a twist to me

any Eddington fans in here? is this like that where despite its flaws its poignant cultural commentary thats ahead of its time for mainstream audiences ? or is it just too on the nose

There are multiple twist

I’m incredibly curious about this

Eddington is so much smarter and better than this movie. I hated this and Eddington is one of my favorite films of the decade

I haven’t seen Eddington . Parts of it are very on the nose but something that’s been said for a while but people don’t listen
