i didnt watch the entirety of man in the high castle bc its boring and it bores me, but from the moments i saw while my wife was watching it, season 4 moves in a good direction insofar that theres a black communist revolution, but it's also erratic in various other ways making me believe there were issues behind the scenes. e.g. the japanese trade minister is assassinated at the beginning and you only see his bloodied glasses. the real reason he was killed was probably bc they couldnt get the actor for this season and then they had to write in a bunch of crap to fill the scenes he was supposed to bumble through.

Uncut Gems is a bit moralizing but otherwise enjoyable thriller about the dangers of commodity fetishism

Bert Roberge posted:Uncut Gems spends the entire time making you hate Adam Sandler, so you don't really mind when he gets shot in the head at the end. movie would’ve been revolutionary (by Hollywood standards) had Adam Sandler not been shot in the head imo

just watched ip man 4 in theatres. this movie has ip man squaring off against white supremacist marines defending the honor of Japanese karate, which is a bit odd. nevertheless, a fun martial arts movie, and last of a dying genre.

Instead of simply condemning the morals of the rich, Parasite lambasts the class system under which we are all trapped and tormented, bourgeois and proletarian alike. I think this gives the movie a wider appeal, as people may identify on either side of the class divide.

I watched the climate change anime, Weathering for You. It’s typical anime melodrama fare with all the usual tropes. Ideologically however, it’s a v bad movie. Personal sacrifice is condemned and collective action is eschewed in favor of primitivist reaction towards climate change.

little women was a typical melodramatic aspirational white lady movie. basically catnip for the jane austen demographic. it was ok aside from some poverty porn that offends my delicate sensibilities

I watched The Gentlemen, which is I assume the yin to the Little Women yang, and it was a good fairytale about the drug industry (CIA/MI6 mysteriously absent, though mossad makes a brief appearance)

Freaking Crumbum posted:i really thought parasite was going to turn into like a situational comedy where the imposter family has to keep coming up with more and more outlandish lies to keep the ruse going, so seeing the turn happen in the second surprised me. the dad emancipated his family in his final act, but the truth is there is no real escape, though we are deluded to believe otherwise

mysterious frankie posted:He didn’t though. A simmering anger that he keeps almost letting pop throughout the movie, then plays for laughs whenever he gets close enough that people notice, finally blows up and he kills the man he both adores and loathes, temporarily creating a fantasy of power over his situation at the expense of 1-3 people’s’ lives. Then he goes to cry in the basement forever while his wife mourns her dead daughter and the son lies in bed all day, thinking about how he’ll make everything right by basically winning the lottery of life. the whole fam was under the patriarch’s thrall and whether he consciously emancipated his family is besides the point

mysterious frankie posted:No, emancipation would be burning down the house, not just killing one of its current occupants. The remains of his family are still very much thralls of the house, and he himself sits around in the darkened sub basement of the house, apologizing to a picture of the man he killed and sending out an apology letter to his son in Morse code; one which can only be seen by watching the house light, because he knows his son won’t be able to stay away either. yes, ultimately there is no real emancipation. just an immediate emancipation from the petty condescension of the patriarch for whatever that’s worth.
