Rules: explain why
Ready player one.
That has to be one of the cringiest movies I’ve seen, is tries so hard, too hard with it’s “WE LOVE YOU NERD, YOU’RE SO COOL FOR PLAYING GAMES AND GETTING THIS 80S REFERENCE” message and the whole “corporation bad, the people good” narrative seems written for toddlers… The fan service feels cheap and adds nothing to the story.
Finally, they trying to make the people believe that very attractive girl with a barely visible red tint spot on her face is “ugly”… Like wtf?
Yet it received decent reviews plus being one of the most successful movies of that year.
Quentin Dupieux is a genius, IMO, musically and behind the lens. His works tend to be an acquired taste for sure, but I’m into it.
Dude made a tire have an amazing performance. Just shows how important the art is behind making a film vs what name is on the screen. Poor film making could make the best actor suck but if you’re truly talented you can make any actor, no matter how shitty, seem amazing. It’s def an acquired taste but I’d argue whether you like it or not you can’t deny the genius.
