What is going on with this fucking movie? Why do people hate it so much, I don’t get it? The trailer looks good to me, kinda Dr. Strangelove vibes, haven’t seen it yet though.

>>223551139
It’s revealed halfway through the movie that it’s actually making fun of libshit satire and that the main character is intentionally mischaracterized as a cartoon villain boogeyman

i just read the plot on wikipedia. it sounds gay

>>223551185
So… the movie is making fun of lefties, not conservatives, and that’s why everyone hates it? Unless I’m misunderstanding you

>>223551222
It’s mostly making fun of Americans.

>>223551222

Trailer looked amazing and exactly like the type of thing I'd love but I had a sneaking suspcision it'd just be a Trump allagory so I didn't bother watching it.
Is it actually a good movie not relying on sucking up to your own politics?

>>223551468
It's a if you like satire movies you are dumb and you caused the world to end. Fuck Whitey movie

>>223551468
>suspcision it'd just be a Trump allagory so I didn't bother watching it
It is a Trump/Bush allegory but it's later reframed as making fun of libshit political satire if that makes sense. Can't explain how without spoiling the twist. It basically shits on movies like "Don't Look Up" for being controlled opposition made by rich elites to feel better about themselves.

Armond White hated it though. He wasn't wearing his contrarian hat this time—he was wearing his actual film critic hat and he eviscerated it.

Interesting. Well, this is enough to convince me to give it a shot. I am not a hardcore MAGAfag, anyway, just sick of being shit on for being slightly conservative, that's all.
But the people involved with the movie are all insnaely talented, especially Innaritu, so I REALLY wanted this to be great.

>>223551478
it's a farce
they even address it in the dialogue

>>223551521
Who cares what the dumb DIGGER thinks

>>223551222
the movie is of course anti white, just check how intentionally pale everyone at the congress state of the union or whatever garbage that is, is during the monologue, and how brown the meek digger's assistant is, its another one of cuckaritus decolonising resentiment fever dreams like babel. it basically boils down to wypipo cant lecture us on climate change because they benefited from years of industrial revolution something or other. its practically the exaggerated counterargument to the ridiculousness of some oligarchs preaching de-growth for everyone else besides themselves

>>223551088

Because the disaster kills hundreds of thousands and is widely considered to be a genocide caused by negligence.

>>223551687
It sounds like cope but I swear the movie is making fun of people who shit on white conservatives constantly,

The actor playing Digger in the paly literally calls out the hillbilly stereotypes as dumb and a farce

>>223551245

>>223551740
It's not a cope. The director is some diversity hire pretentious black woman from Bongland who is working for Digger's glowie nephew. Controlling the narrative is a running theme.

>>223551765
That's the in-movie logic. I'm just explaining it to you you twat.

The scenario is essentially a BP oil disaster that causes a tsunami that kills hundreds of thousands of people. Im sure people could twist that into a genocide in this clown world today

It's not making fun of anyone, really, it's ultimately just a very human story. You could say it's highly critical of humanity, but it's not making fun of humanity, it's trying to understand humanity in broad strokes.

Birdman and The Revenant won a bunch of Oscars, they were probably banking on it getting awards and for Tom Cruise to get people to show up to the theater. I doubt they expected it to be as weird and polarizing as it ended up being.

Honestly, it makes for a great capstone for WB though. They're going out swinging and this movie is definitely gonna be a cult classic. It might be a flop but at least their last movie isn't some bland capeshit like Supergirl or something.

>>223552668
>Why did Warner Bros think it was a smart idea to spend 160 million dollars on this
Probably as a fuck you to Paramount and David Ellison. The first thing they'll inherit from Warner Bros is a massive bomb.
I'm almost 100% certain the actual production didn't exceed $80 million.

>>223551521

It got greenlit with a budget of $125m and that ballooned to $180m in 2026. And that's without marketing.
Say you were a filmmaker and you found out in February that Paramount is buying Warner, you could easily order a bunch of reshoots and inflate production costs.

>>223552774

The "libshits" are portrayed as controlled opposition. The authoritarian regime, in which Kenny Rockwell has alot of power, is effectively backing the Fossil Fools play.

if you want an EDGIER version of this movie, check out The Baby of Macon by Peter Greenaway

This movie is already a cult classic for me. First, there's no way it deserves the harsh reviews it got. It's at its core a well-made film. I can assure you that the twist is the reason people hate it. Digger pretty much tells us we're cattle. Our masters give us enough to feel satisfied in our hate of them, then we return working, paying taxes and spreading our ass cheeks with our fingers

A huge satire to slop like Don't Look Up or all these others "fuck the rich" financed by rich billionaires

"yea fuck the rich, save our planet, fuck white people, good serf, now go back to work and shut the fuck up"

The ending with Jesse Plemons' character saving Curtis' daughter and minutes later we discover the state of our world is again a testament to that. He passes for the hero just enough to make the people forget he’s part of the problem in the first place

It's a big fuck you to the system, to the journalists and other fake influencers and they know it, hence the reviews

people keep saying this but I really don't get what was so confusing about the trailer? the basic premise seemed clear enough to me when I first saw it: rich guy causes ecological disaster and is forced to do damage control in an artsy Strangelove-esque satire. they obviously didn't want to reveal the meta angle, but I thought that was a fine pitch.

the other criticism that I tend to agree with more is that the movie looked like a second Don't Look Up which put a lot of people off. people are wary of super on-the-nose political messaging. of course it's a send up of that kind of movie, but how were you supposed to know that without giving too much away. it also just looked a little grotesque. Tom Cruise in that makeup, the cat, the grey filter. I actually liked the trailer and saw the movie based on it but I can see why it would be off putting.

>>223551222
It doesn't make fun of anyone. It uses stereotypical archetypes to tell the story of how we as a species have fucked ourselves over the last 50 years, and uses humor to deliver the message, because no one would listen if it was delivered with a straight face.

WB wanted auteur directors after losing Nolan and overpaid for this, PTA's and Bong Joon-Ho's movies.

>>223554739
It's just because the trailers are overly quirky and make the story look one-note. Partly because they're forced to edit around the play-within-a-movie twist, but also because people will never accept that marketing is handled by people who don't make the movie, designed to get people interested that normally would not watch something even if it mischaracterizBLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH

>It's an explicitly political movie that has political themes and a political message

Jesus fuck, you either didn't watch the movie, or lack comprehension skills. The point isn't the politics. Fucking Jessie spelt it out at the very end. The point is to use art to remember a horrifying series of events that lead to modern day miseries.

>>223555116
That's political. You're dumb and shallow.

>>223551139
>>223551222
The reason libtards hate it is because a key part of the movie is analyzing how people being bloodthirsty and dehumanizing of anyone that makes up their political/social opposition just plays into the hands of the forces they're supposedly against and makes life shit for everybody. Because it uses Trump/oil tycoon and otherwise generally conservative analogues to demonstrate this, even though it does critique those figures heavily as well (obviously), it also critiques how functionally useless and hypocritical typical liberals are in how they try to "stand up" against them and act like they're morally upstanding people on the right side of history.

I liked it. It felt like a meta satirical take from a left leaning perspective on the past 10 years of media having hysterical meltdowns over the right wing in the west which was interesting.

>>223555482
yeah but the movie was shit

>>223551088
Has it occurred to you that the movie is just bad?

>>223551088
>muh oil guy

I see left-wing green panic film makers still haven't been able to figure out how to critique the Musk boogeyman properly in a film yet since he's anti-oil and ostensibly environmentalist. It'd be funny to watch them try to tackle that. The movie feels like it wants to be contemporary but also use tropes and political realities that have been irrelevant for decades. Not sure what it was intending to do by mixing them up

>>223555595
what makes you think it's supposed to be a Musk parody? you think that Musk is the only rich guy?
>political realities that have been irrelevant for decades
fossil fuel emissions are higher than ever. the entire globe is panicking because of the Hormuz situation affecting oil supplies. oil is still very, very relevant.

>>223555595
Billionaires fucking over the world was a thing long before Musk. And one of the movies points was that decisions to not take action in the past are leading to problems in the present.

>>223555679
>>223555708
I'm saying the fact that it's not a Musk parody in the first place is odd because it seems to want to satirize current era Drumpf political grievances as well as how liberals react and attempt to respond to these things with little more than gay nihilistic whining. The entire character of Digger feels like a tycoon magnate villain from the 70s which takes away from what it's goals seem to be.

>>223555742
people are capable of being critical of more than one thing at a time. the movie is satirizing the left's whining, while also being critical of billionaires. all billionaires deserve criticism, not just Musk. people like Digger still very much exist. corrupt politicians existed before Trump, and will exist after him.
I don't even think it's necessarily a satire of Trump era politics in particular. it has tints of that, because of course it does, it's affected by the current political climate. but it's sort of a timeless criticism of capitalism and politics, with a few tweaks you could make this fit almost any era of the last century or so, and that's what makes it work imo.

Just saw it and it was pretty good. The while thing being a play blew me away leave to a fellow Mexican to show you puto gringos how to make real cinema

History tends to repeat itself. Trump is only the most recent example, but these cycles of conservative's in charges, and libs not shutting the fuck up are cyclical in nature. I don't believe Trump was ever a target, but I'm sure like you many are going to assume he was.

Themes, messages, politics aside - the movie just isn't very interesting. It's not funny, it completely lacks emotion, it's sloppily assembled in a way that's more awkward than entertaining. I simply didn't care about anything happening because every scene felt like a complete mess of empty dialogue and poor attempts at humour or profundity. It has no rhythm, no drive, no sense of composition. I know this board hates Birdman but that's an example of something being chaotic yet still cogent, unlike Digger which is just a mishmash of ideas where none of them stick

Yes

just watched it in the cinema tonight. Hardly anyone was in there, a group of two girls, and maybe 4 separate guys watching it alone. Even so, it got some good laughs (shovel on the floor, vets prognosis of the cat, freezer scene,).
I dont know if it was just my cinema, but the scene where Rockwell is addressing the european politicians was INCREDIBLY loud to almost an uncomfortable degree.
I was having a hard time understanding what people were saying at times due to the accents, multiple characters talking at once, and the sound mixing of background noise. In the scene on the rig for example, I barely understood anything anyone was talking about before we they go down into the kitchen.
Twist reveal was good, VERY surreal in the moment until you realise what it is youre looking at. I heard the rumors it was a musical but i deliberately stopped looking at anything about the movie until watching it myself. Im glad about that.
I enjoyed it, I think its worth watching.

The political and leadership establishment as a whole has never been less effective at getting anything done.
Democracies have their benefits but autocracies and dictatorships have always been far more effective at actually achieving specific goals.

Kings and Empires established and built the new world.
Reconnaissance aristocracies dragged entire regions of the planet from the stone age to the modern age in a matter of decades.
Stalin dragged Russia from a medieval-tier agrarian society to launching fucking spaceships in 50 years.

Modern universal democracies struggle to build a high speed railway line.

This, democracies in general are much slower to get anything of substance done. However, this is almost by design, so that only the works that can reach a consensus, or are universally wanted, pass.

>>223558710
I've seen threads on reddit that both hate it and love it. the movie is just extremely divisive everywhere.

>>223558877
It has a good score on all sites except for critics. It's a well liked movie

>>223554990
its better than that tho

>>223554990
Digger is shit, Eddington is kino

>>223559267
nah

It was pretty incredible. As a climate denier, I was having a good time laughing at climate deniers. It helps when you understand that the political stuff is a layer deeper since it's being said through the context of a stupid Broadway play named "Fossil Fools" with a gay bitch director. I'm seeing it again next week.
Unfortunately yes, looks like another Eddington situation where great performances, solid script, and intriguing story are disregarded by critics and the film ends up being a bomb with no awards recognition. I actually started to wonder during the film if the problem is just that there are no young well regarded film critics anymore. I don't think the older ones really understand culture anymore, they're stuck in 2000s stuff and praise shit like Green Book or whatever
One complaint, if anyone is going to see it again, the ADR/dubbing is pretty bad

It's based-leaning.

Significant reforms often come about via centrist leaders ike Gladstone, Asquith, FDR.

It's hard to imagine a modern leader doing what Rovert Peel did.

>>223551222
It's about how leftists are essentially totally useless and impotent and ally they do is cheer on mass media sermons. The stage play in the movie is a standin for something like the Today Show, going "Look at that stupid Drumpf" while the audience laughs. Meanwhile Drumpf goes and kills 1000 brownoid babies or something. It's a leftist critique of leftism and their slactivism that achieves nothing and just validates evil right wingers and their actions.

>>223559676
To be fair, it's not that hard to imagine tightly knit Peeple larping as a vanguard, and breaking up independents effortlessly.

Someone Summarise this film for me

>>223560019
>In the history of the movie world, one oil tycoon's drilling efforts push the world over the tipping point and create a cataclysm that kills thousands, displaces millions across the world, and fucks over the world's environment such that there are frequent natural disasters, rampant rolling blackouts, and you occasionally have to wear a mask to survive the air outside.
>years later, the events around that event were satirized in a now famous play.
>the movie shows the making of a 25th anniversary version of the play, funded by the grandson of the man who caused the incident. The main actor struggles to get into character because he cannot determine if Digger was an unrepentant asshole, or just a guy trying to make the best of a shit situation.

>>223560139
It went by so quickly and due to the sound mixing i had trouble making it out, but doesnt cruise actually say that digger was bulgarian or something during his tantrum after the nuke scene?

>>223560188
he refers to him as, among other things, as vulgar, and uncouth. As ungentlemanly as he gets, but utterly terrifying in how calm, focused, and determined he seemed to have been.

>>223560359
ah yeah, must've been "vulgar and" then. I dont know why but i had a real tough time making out some of the dialogue in this at my cinema.
It wouldve been funny if he wasnt actually fully american, but the play finds it more convenient to ignore that and play up the american / southern angle.

>>223555116
It's an explicitly political message retard. It's "hey your stupid movie that makes people look silly doesn't change the fact that they did these things and people feel the effects"

Why the fuck would anyone pay to watch this shit? It's clearly just another trump bad climate change bad capitalism bad piece of trash designed to get people to argue about it instead of proposing any real solutions

>>223560646
In this instance, covid mask is a false equivalency. In the movie there is so much methane in the air that during certain periods you will literally choke to death on fart gas without those masks.

>>223560679
>"hey your stupid movie that makes people look silly doesn't change the fact that they did these things and people feel the effects"

why is it political to hold people accountable for their literal objective fuck ups?

All i got from it is if you watch movies you are a dumb goy so i shan't be watching anymore

>>223560759
You literally highlighted a post about it being satire. What makes it political? Because you feel like you are the one being made fun of?

When i saw that pathetic "conformity is freedom" message i literally walked out of the theatre

>>223560811
Because the movie was over, or you didn't like that message?

>>223551088
This still suspiciously looks like another goyim bad/white people hate movie masquerading as liberalism.

>>223554990
I liked Digger, but way less than Eddington.

The black director was cute

>>223557803
Sets and audio design were the best part of the film. Opening scene and bird audio were very nice

>>223551222
It's both sides are equally bad (the correct take) which makes both of them seethe like crazy

It was hysterical. There was a moment where a fan fell off the wall, and then the very next thing a coffee machine shit all over someone getting a cuppa; quite literally THE SHIT HAS HIT THE FAN. How is that not amusing?

People that were surprised by it being a stage production need to watch more theatre. Pretty obvious if you know anything about it. That first room was a clear stage setup with impossible doors with a fake background

>>223562344
Which is another meta layer making fun of us perhaps that we don’t even take the time to notice this about our fiction and our reality

good characters but the story is a bit much. Idk maybe it needs to be watched a few times to get it.

Dumbasses. Watch a movie on its own merits. You can hate the politics but still be entertained or God forbid, be intellectually engaged. At the very least frame it as """'OSINT""" of the enemy team.

Everyone. When biden was in and those red states bad weather emergencies, biden had funded them anyways despite them voting against him. They were still Americans, after all. Trump is actively cutting off support to states he feels "opposed" him.

Of course not, but that's the narrative we're trying to build here.

I'm a Regio (from Monterrey) Liberal and I loved it, just watched it actually and I think it's a great return to form for Iñarritu after that Bardo thing. It's basically Dr. Strangelove + Don't Look Up + Birdman.

Birdman is one of my faves after all.

Both sides have interpreters the movie to be sympathetic to them and hostile towards the other side whereas the truth lies on both sides uncleanly. This brothers lost people now because everything had to be catered to their own world view or be banished out of their lives forever. Not some centrist ideal of 'both sides bad', but rather a honest take on where things stand. That bothers people who want to win or rather be perceived as winning.

It just wasn't very good. Once it's revealed that the whole thing is a play I stopped caring about the whole plotline. The side story with the daughter was interesting at first, but it ends up going nowhere. It's a shame, I wanted it to be good. Also, the end reveal with the masks was lame.

>Trump is actively cutting off support to states he feels "opposed" him.
And this is bad, why? States' rights have been a meme since the civil war. The federal government isn't responsible for maintaining the status quo for adversarial and corrupted state governments. Citizens who don't want to be affected will relocate to jurisdictions that are not controlled by adversarial or corrupted government entities.
>inb4 but both sides will keep doing this until all state governments are rendered useless
>inb4 who decides what corrupted means
The federal government decides. The dorky confederate legal spergs warned you about this and you called them heckin racist so you wouldn't have to humor their arguments.
