I understand why some people hate this movie. It seems real and shows you how stupid and insignificant we are, which is necessary today. It is also marketed as a comedy when in reality, it is merely a humorous drama based on the true depiction of human nature. Then there are those who try to tell you that what this is, and when it's a literal metaphor it has nothing to do with us.
It's a mirror. Some people don't like what they see in them. I found this movie excellent with great action moments and great acting. At first,I thought the acting was too much and that someone like Steven Soderbergh was needed to direct the movie, but when I watched the movie, I realized how it was and now I believe Adam McKay is the right person for the job.
I love the story as a whole, I love the way the characters and events are presented, but I love the little things, like the scene where Europe argues and says they will find their own solution.I am European and I regret to say that this sentence hit me in the heart. Or the last place to eat, which is both emotional and focused, reminding us that even that choice can be taken away from us by something as small as a virus.
It's annoying that American movies are becoming more colorful these days. They don't tell stories, but they talk to each other. They are Democrat or Republican, conservative or liberal, blue or red, overpass or coastal. Don't look at this as a big deal, but the language and presentation are clearly on the long beach side. It can therefore be appreciated by those who see the world this way and are ignored or often abused by those on the other side.
The audience will be divided for many reasons, but I personally find this to be the best thing about the misinformation and terrible hypocrisy of this digital age. There are bad characters and bad situations, and viewers need to approach everything with a grain of salt. I think that many film critics are probably people who are easily misled by misinformation and who themselves tend to ignore science and, in that relationship, prefer to put their shirt on rather than listen to the depth and importance of the film.
This movie is a fun and it should be. Style, casting and absurdity all come together in harmony. Everything about this bad movie may not be as far from the truth as it seems. It's overly stylized, no doubt, but the disinformation vibe of Running Man, Hunger Games, Total Recall and others is true in today's world, and it's coming much sooner than many people think. Like Miracle Road, Back to the Future Part 2, Magnetic Challenge, and How This Ends, the comatose baby was born from the incredible reality and reality check of the shining big city.
It's not perfect. The film could have benefited from more family development and a better score, but the low points come down to political puns and gibberish. The opposing player may also be left out; this is a performance by a non-actor. Don't expect the Color Purple or the Covered Bridge to appear here.
Although,i didn't understand the plot completely,The acting in this movie is great. I love this so much, he manages to perfectly combine subtlety with sass, making fun of the nonsense of modern culture, celebrities and social media. I talked to a few people and they thought it was funny, I wouldn't say I was funny but I was really funny.
I was surprised by this nonsense and thought that if the world was really facing extinction something would happen. In the face of disaster, the rich get richer! Merryl Street is the best, but the standout for me has to be DiCaprio, he's amazing and his debut scene is incredible.
It's a shame because the purpose of this movie is not to divide us, but to unite us as one nation. I think it could be better in this direction. There is one detail that I think McKay got wrong. There is no way the President of the United States would use metric units like miles in a public speech. If that weren't the case, I'd give this 10 stars. Jokes aside, it's a must-watch movie.
