Like this is just fucking bonkers. It's a decent movie a should never be compared to tlj. Holy fuck I feel like I watched a different movie than yall.
This is the kind of review that makes this place lose all credibility. You can't explain yourself then it's bullshit.
Say what you will about The Last Jedi (I don't like it either), but it was at least competent on a technical level. The Matrix is amateur hour in comparison.
Me neither I thought it was very smart and a super cool way to continue the story. People just want to see the same movie redone with "cameos" for the audience to "applaud to" and jokes.
Okay elaborate, because I think that's fucking insane too. There was nothing competent on a technical level in TLJ but I think matrix Resurrections was plenty technically competent
Funny how the movie in many ways is a critique on our obsessions and dependence these days on social media and you couldn't last the whole movie before turning to your phone to let strangers know how you're feeling about it
No, it speaks volumes about that dudesobsession. It doesn't say anything about the quality of the movie.
Dude, you need to take a chill pill. The movie sucks, get over it. No reason whatsoever to attack people in this thread.
It's a bad movie that'll be forgotten in a week.
Wrong. The Last Jedi is a shit film but it has some absolutely excellent cinematography.
What a knob...
The entire film is in dialogue with Baudrillard, Binaries, mirrors, the death of the real and elevation of nostalgia, killing your IP to get revenge against the system, simulations within simulations to distract from being in one, nothing can ever die because everything is already resurrected by the system. These aren't all ideas exclusive to him but they are all specific talking points in just the first few pages of his book. Even the fact that Baudrillard didn't like the first films because it was too clean about was is real and fake and he was pessimistic about ever being able to wake up, so now you have an entire film that seeks to blur the lines between the film world and ours, a product that feels fake, you're waiting the whole time for it to become "real" and it never does, there's constant blurring of the lines like characters eating red pills then immediately putting on blue glasses to steady themselves. The film is almost a visual adaptation of the ideas in his book, much more than the first film.I only watched it to see if there'd be a reference to baudrillard's Simulacra and simulation since I heard that there were millions of nods to the original. Baudrillard just ripped the matrix movies and assume that the the creators know about that. There wasn't an explicit reference that I saw but this was *chefs kiss* on the nose.
Yeah I'll give you that. It's because Abrams can direct but he sure as shit can't write.
