Adam McKay says the Jennifer Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio-starring satire resonates with a widespread feeling of being deceived by government and media
It was a fun watch. I guess it hits different depending on where youre from.
I just wanna die and join the absolute as described in the CIA Gateway
This movie is painful to watch. I’m sort of glad for those who don’t have children.
I couldn’t make it through, that whole start scene with the suited cunts talking over and mocking just triggered huge aggro.
I found it difficult to watch when i did due to the situation, maybe not right in covid but not out of it either. As depressing as it made me feel at points (girlfriends choice of movie so had to sit through it but we alternate so only fair) I found it amusing that while plainly satire the actual dialogue and actions were pretty much what at least one democratically elected administration showed during a huge crisis. If it aired 10 years previous it’d probably be in the bin of crappy spoof movies for being so ridiculous and maybe get a cult folowing, yet it was practically a documentary with the situation changed.
I can understand not feeling comfortable due to the triggering in it though, it wasn’t exactly a fun watch even if it was a comedy.
Oh I’m disgusted by that behaviour irl, so i’m disgusted by it on screen. I do not think i’m the target audience for this film, i consider climate deniers to be traitors against humanity
It wasn’t till I read you original comment that I remembered how awful I felt at one point watching it, I get it and understand not wanting to subject yourself to that sort of feeling willingly. Thankfully it passed and I was able to watch, but I won’t say I enjoyed it, just that in an art sense it has merit.
My GF hated it.
I watched it for the second time recently
I once had a conversation with someone about a hypothetical thing and they said it was the plot of this movie.
I eventually watched it after that.
Critics didn’t like it? I’ve seen it twice and think it’s great!
the movie was gloriously frustrating.
Great description of it.
