Uh.. Wtf? What was the message here?
>>214199145Somehow a based movie
>>214199145EWWWWWWW BOTH SIDES ARE STUPID SEE I AM SO SMART
>>214199212He doesn't make the right seem that bad. More naive. The lefties in the movie are straight up evil, or phonies.
>>214199145The elite are setting their machinations into place and there’s not a damn thing anyone can do about it.
Western civilization is so fuckin microwaved at this point. It's done. It's over. Just a slow rot now.
poltards are desperately trying to shit on this movie because it's about people being driven to hysteria by social media shills
>>214199320It really hits the BLM/Antifa movements a lot harder, though. The critiques of the right wing protagonist is actually way more nuanced. He's a simple man who earnestly thinks he's morally superior to the neolib mayor, who is a horrible person. But as the movie continues and he gets pushed further to his breaking point, his flaws and repressions come to the surface. He's not portrayed as a complete joke either. He is somewhat pitiable but he's also relatable and sympathetic. He's just not a very good guy when it comes right down to it, though.
>>214199212Ari’s a hardcore nothing ever happens chud, as evidenced by his movies messages. Extremely neurotic, but still a chud at his core.
>>214199410Wait until you figure out that the poltards spamming shit here are actually leftists.
>>214199145The message is that the person you think you hate is not your real enemy. Very blackpilled.
>>214199261He does make them equally bad, yes the lefties are pretty evil, but Phoniexs character kills innocent people and even tries to frame an innocent man
>tech companies BADThat's it
>>214199670Yeah, but it's all done out of desperation and in the heat of the moment. He is bad, but it's not the same as the neolib mayor actively conspiring against his own townsfolk for the benefit of some evil tech corporation, or Antifa being a puppet of said evil tech corporation. The protestors are less evil to an extent, but they are all shown to be self-serving virtue signalers who are only participating for their own selfish reasons.
>>214199723Hes is ultimately a cuck, and that i cannot abide
>>214199765Yes, but it was also a very accurate portrayal of the typical conservative Facebook Boomer. The white cowboy hat is how he likes to see himself.
>>214199212No way they've made a movie that based in 2025
>>214199145The general message seems to be the manipulability of the townspeople into top-down national narratives with no relation to the actual issues of their community, such as the data center. They act of LARPily to no effect, and then the actual currents of power and influence do whatever they want in the background.
>>214199686>America is being carved up by rich, evil assholes who don't care at all about your petty political squabbling, none of it matters>All of you should probably team up and kill these bastards but you won't because you're too busy at each others throats>Anyone who gets into a position of power is immediately bought and paid for by those same rich assholes>We're fuckedThat's the theme of the film. The more personal character study is about Joaquin's character failing to get his wife to love him, which is more just sad.
If anything this movie shows that we're all being manipulated by algorithms
>>214199920>>All of you should probably team up and kill these bastards but you won't because you're too busy at each others throatsNo Ivan you aren't spinning this failed influence thread into agitation.
>>214200011Pay attention. Hit a little too close to home with that one, didn't I?
>>214200011Lmfao, what a perfectly retarded reply that proves the fuckin point
>>214200036>>214200078yawn. Try again.
>>214200011shut up boomer
>>214199320
why do chuds always flock to Eddington threads?
>>214200578>braindead conservative>sitting next to "Enabling Our Digital Future" AI psyop text>its so true, it really is.
>>214200609The neolib mayor was doing the same thing before he died. Kind of the point of the movie.
>>214200631yeah but he was doing it with grace, and compassion, and inclusivity.
>>214199145Ari Aster is a mentally ill Jew who hates White people and takes sadistic pleasure in torturing his characters and audiences alike. His formative experience as a child was being terrified by a movie and running away from home screaming. That's the role he identifies with, the God complex movie director who inflicts negative emotion.
Were the mercenaries posing as antifa sent by the magikarp company or are they both being controlled by something bigger?
>>214199145Hold it... you mean... THAT Eddington??
>>214200736Well considering America is basically a vast conspiracy of rich, Godless people controlling everything, within both corporations and government (it's all the same people friends with the same people) I would say it's something bigger. Kinda like how "Antifa" in real life were funded by Soros and many of them were literal insane people brought in simply to agitate the riots.
>>214200736they were sent by them to distract so the AI datacenter would not face opposition. All the social media in the film is programming everyone to give the desired outcome, just like us irl.
I saw it as a damning portrayel of how retarded and fake the left is. The basedboy being in love with the coalburner and faking his leftism was particularly funny and realistic. MAGA.
>>214200899the right is also retarded, moreso even.
>>214200934More retarded, but more sincere and possibly less evil as well.
>>214200934>Moreso evenFalse. The right is just shown to be misguided and coming from a good place but not being intentionally evil or fake like the left is. Every leftist person in the movie is fake and evil.
>>214200968Yeah, but tbf Cross kills a homeless man in cold blood just to vent. He also tries to frame a guy that has been nothing but loyal to him out of cowardice. He's not as conniving as the mayor, but he's not really moral, either.
>>214200578>>214199320
>>214200942>>214200968the chuds yes, mostly confused well meaning retards, but the AI tech company at the center of the film is far right capitalism run amok, which the retard chuds enable more than anything else. The left wants to regulate, the right does not. Many will be hurt or killed by this mentality in action.
>>214201024Many chuds claim to be National Socialists which is not quite the same as backing unbridled capitalism. I'm not taking a side, just saying. The leftists in the film are also shown to be ineffective and don't really even care about the issue of the tech company at all. The mayor who is a liberal is not interested in regulating the tech company.
>>214201024The left was burning citys down around this time. Yes the datacenter is bad but the Floyd riots were worse. The movie literally spells out how fake it all was.>>214200999To me it wasn’t about his politics, he was just tired of being cucked and probably had delirium from covid.
>>214201080The datacenter is worse and the riots were a tool of distraction they used for their own means. That was the point.
>>214201096The datacenter wasn’t simultaneously spread throughout the country retard, and it’s fictional unlike the riots. This movie was damning towards the Floyd riots and the lefts reaction to covid. They are not portrayed as good or honest people.
>>214201080>The movie literally spells out how fake it all was.yeah nazis started the fires during the floyd protests
>>214201126The datacenter represents the bigger picture of capitalists and globalists like Soros carving up the country. It's why it was so generically and vaguely evil.
>>214201126>The datacenter wasn’t simultaneously spread throughout the country retard, and it’s fictionalits happening right now all over the country lol. Many chud communities are angry that Elons datacanters are drinking all their water, so much so that the chud mayor told people to take less showers.
>>214199145Message? I was just telling my story.
>>214199920>>America is being carved up by rich, evil assholes who don't care at all about your petty political squabbling, none of it mattersyes>>All of you should probably team up and kill these bastards but you won't because you're too busy at each others throatsyesglossing over some important details, but w/e>>Anyone who gets into a position of power is immediately bought and paid for by those same rich assholesyesor removed from power>>We're fuckedleave the country. Run away from your problems. You cant survive here.>> Joaquin's character failing to get his wife to love him, which is more just sad.Women
>>214201225See>>214200011
>>214201141Soros is a leftist
>>214201358Not really. He's a Zionist. He supports leftis causes as they suit his goals. He supports whatever benefits him most at that partocular moment. This movie is telling you to reject your false dichotomy. None of your owners abide by it.
>>214201358>Soros is a leftistkeep watching that social media retard, its clearly working well on you.
>>214199145Don't let your schizo mother or mother in law live with you ever or let your wife have access to the internet
>>214201451Another failed pol post.
>>214202080Another failed damage control post. I never thought Aster would prove to be this based.
>>214200011Lmao literally just did what he was talking about
there was no message. the whole movie was a complete waste of time. which is sad because I found the town comfy and mayor vs sheriff could have went somewhere. but it completely shit the bed by the end.
>lol qanon right wing schizos>lol retarded shallow leftist morons>big business is evilSaved you 2 and a half hours.
>>214204679>grug want predictable plot, grug confused
Datacenters can be put a lot of places. Look at all the ones everywhere in the usa right now. There's no way political candidates are being messily assassinated for some warehouse full of computers.
>>214205019>dude it subverted my expectations thus it was so good!!!>forget that it didn't resolve anything, didn't have anything to say, and went absolutely nowhere, the fact that something happened that I didn't expect was all I needed!
>>214199320/thread
>>214199145it's about how technocrats usurped america by drumming up hate and division via social media while they quietly took over the country's federal institutions and resources. now they're poised to fully take over after the mass surveillance system goes online. hard to believe it got made and released tbqh
>>214205501>muh technocratsThe problem with this reductive take is that none of this is new. Imagine unironically believing that media and government manipulation is new.
Unfunny topical comedy that came five years too late because it would have been risky to make at the right time. Everyone involved voted for Biden and promoted social distancing.>hey guys remember when they made us all quit our jobs and put our lives on hold for two years and i did it because i was a pussy but i made myself feel better by persecuting people who didnt blindly obey?>haha that was crazy huh guys>right?
>>214205557>*buys Twitter*
>>214205599>Everyone involved voted for BidenSource?
>>214205698The number of non-Democrats in Hollywood you can count on one hand
