Any good?

Is it in theaters or straight to streaming?

>>212926176
theaters. its pretty good

>>212926117
basically this. I’m reposting my effort post from a few days ago.

Republican/red flaws depicted in Eddington:
>senile and retarded
>Anti health
>believe in every conspiracy ever created
>murder homeless in cold blood
>run corrupt/incompetent/brutal police departments
>passive aggressive pussies who wont arrest a mayor after breaking noise ordinances and slapping him in the face (not very republican like behavior) but will murder him in cold blood later
>scapegoat/suspect innocent minorities of murder with no evidence
>frame innocent minority cop for murder
>treat Native American cop (who is more competent and moral than you) with distain
>use a woman’s sexual assault (which may or not be real) for your political gains (again, not very red behavior)
>get no pussy from wife who hates you
>fall victim to Christian sex cults
>sell out to evil corporations

Blue flaws depicted in Eddington:
>be phony for pussy and clout
>wear racism and social justice as a fashion statement
>fall victim to psyop agitators (implied to be sent by the evil company)
>be corrupt politician, but not too corrupt
>be spoiled brat son of politician
>Be abandoned/cucked by wife
>be hypocritical about lockdown rules and agitation during protests
>sell out to evil corporations

So basically you have ravenous, murderous, corrupt, stupid reds vs stupid, corrupt and specifically white/some spic blues, while the two monitory characters are basically saints. So center, wow.

Ari is not the artist to make a true bipartisan art piece that actually sympathizes with flyover rubes, and if he did the script probably wouldn’t be funded.

You literally won, the culture war is over and you won it. You now have the corporations on your side, the SJW era is over and we are like 4-6 years removed from the most annoying periods of it as well.

IMAGINE still posting that fucking image, I'm almost impressed with the state of your brain, truly stuck in 2016 forever. You will live in that gamergate culture war bubble for the rest of your life.

You can't be centrist when one side is MIGA what E-e-e-pstein list? NPCs. He literally made the ending a chud fantasy scenario but that wasn't enough for you because any depiction of your own beliefs and behaviour reads as parody.

Can Americans here give me more insight into how significantly 2024 changed things on the ground? There has been no right wing or even moderate culture war win in the UK, for example. I cannot fully appreciate what has changed being that I'm not there

>>212927314
You won brexit and europe is going more and more right wing with every passing year, what are you talking about?
The rightoid victim brain cannot accept that their own side is winning because that would make it harder to play victim

People are more racist now than they were in the fucking 90s and yet simultaneously we're pretending as if SJW censors speech, how far does it have to be taken for you guys to give up on this? When you're allowed to yell nigger at your black employees? I don't get it.

Good art is never supposed to offer "solutions." That's the realm of philosophy and politics. Great art examines the problem and exaggerates it to provoke the audience into understanding ala Dr. Strangelove, whereas preachy bad art states "the solution" like that godawful America Ferrara monologue in Barbie.

How many inches is Joaquin's D you guys think?

>>212926359
Yep. It's the same bothsideism some people claimed was going on in The Boys season 1 because it said the right was evil and the left were hypocrites who needed to do better. I watch movies/tv to get away from politics in the modern era, the last thing I want to see is politics in a modern film, because we all know how what agenda any funded production ultimately must have.

>>212928170
Sorry, uniparty shill, no one’s falling for your divide and conquer tactics

>>212929354
Did you not see the movie? It's pretty big while flaccid

>>212926596
The movie flat out says they are outside agitators.

>>212928742
Only in the third act when people start getting killed, it's gory

>>212929883
Frankly it came off as a bit of a brag. Ari should’ve rubbed some ice on that white snake so it didn’t take away from the pathos of the scene.

I took may parents to see this because the marketing made it look like No Country for Old Men. Instead it's a dude getting cucked for 150 minutes. I think they might disown me.

>>212925948 (OP)
>The deepstate funds armed Antifa deathsquads to incite riots and kill people opposed to their agenda
Seems pretty based to me.

>>212926359
>fall victim to Christian sex cults
That Great Value Russell Brand is many things, but Christian sex cult, it is not. Most of his rhetoric is just some new age BS.

>>212927314
It didn't man. I really hope you guys changed for the better. Shit's nuts there too.

It's much more complicated than that. And I'd argue it's the most important Marxist film of the century. What makes it radical isn’t just the aesthetic bravura, but the thesis: Aster begins with a data center; not by chance, but with intent. He understands that the psychodrama he’s about to depict, saturated with hyperreal images and affective overload, finds its source not in some abstract crisis of representation, but in material infrastructure. In a world where ideology cloaks itself in personal stories, memes, and digital allegiances, Aster drags us back to base: the forces of production.

Long before fetishism or symbolism enters the frame, there’s machinery. Servers. Capital. Logistics. The data center isn’t just a setting—it’s the origin. The real. And it’s what remains, even after the ideology collapses.

The film also explores the transformation of public opinion under the influence of the internet. Where mid-20th-century technocrats like Walter Lippmann advocated the “manufacture of consent” through simplified, pre-packaged narratives for the “irrational” masses, Aster shows what happens when this top-down model disintegrates. We’ve moved from consensus to chaos—not freedom of thought, but proliferation of identity-bound narratives. Opinions aren’t just beliefs now; they’re selfhood. Criticizing someone’s take becomes an act of symbolic violence. Dialogue collapses into attack. Erasing your argument means erasing you.
Aster doesn't moralize. What he stages is not only paranoia, but a logical consequence of capitalist alienation at the digital stage. We live inside a spectacle whose contours are dictated by profit-driven algorithms, surveillance, and social atomization. Expression becomes self-branding. Belief becomes social capital.

The film haunts us precisely because it offers no exit, no external critique, no fantasy of rupture. The data center is not destroyed. The characters are not liberated.

>>212926912
>He literally made the ending a chud fantasy scenario
I don't know man. Completely paralyzed and abused to the point where your mother-in-law and her boyfriend (your abusive caretaker) sleep together right next to you is a low blow.

>>212927731
Save your money and time. Don't watch it

>>212928742
>>212929965
Adding on to that, the violent scenes in the third act were couple of guys get their heads blown off, someone's knee gets blown off. Minority/child gets shot in cold blood, someone literally blows up from a land mine.
If you like "lol funny" gore that's not Terrifier level, you might enjoy it.

>>212929462
You fuckers would be complaining about Invasion of the Body Snatchers when it came out, this retarded criticism was already dumb in the 2010s. Are you so much of a manchild you have a breakdown whenever a film reminds you of real life?

>>212928201
Extremely based

Pros
>the bad guys are an antifa terrorist organization flying with George Soros private jet

Cons
>the only sane and candid guy in the movie is the black guy

This movie is no different from any others. It's all bullshit.

>>212930689
This film mocks retards like you.

>>212926359
You didn't get the climax, retard.

I actually don’t think that was the message at all. It’s more that conspiracies and identity politics are distractions meant to keep everyone divided while the elites go about their business. Movie solid. Kept me guessing as to what the big twist was and liked that there wasn't really any.

Oh yeah, the massive political divide is totally because of le capitalism, bro. Please ignore the leviathan whale of a federal state $37 trillion in debt with hundreds of trillions in unfunded liabilities that we are forced to fund at gunpoint. It's Walmart and Starbucks and the Monopoly Man's fault!! It's not the Federal Reserve, it's those goddamn grifters and their social capital!!!

It's definitely a politics baiting movie, but it's still funny how many people it filtered regardless. You can't do shit in a movie anymore without someone calling it one sided propaganda from one end or fence sitting bothsidesism from the other.

Strangelove: highlight is the shot callers in the war room making a mess of the world

Asster's Eddington: Bad posting on social media + WWF keyfabe caricatures are why the world's a mess. Not the media mud-slinging + "podium presser soap opera" to help the feds ing forcing emergency laws + ridic spending.

This is an oxymoron. Capitalism is the production and exchange of goods and services. Government doesn't produce anything, they "exchange" your money from you and give a middle finger in return.

Joaquin Phoenix is a very sick man. He loves to make these misery porn movies where he goes through hell and worse and he revels in it. That's what those Joker movies amounted to. He has some deep, deep issues.

>>212935870
i think it parallels what the MIL did to his wife.

>>212932202
you literally didn't watch the movie

>>212935870
>>212936148
What did the MIL do to the wife? I thought they left it ambiguous, but it seems like the movie implies the father raped and impregnated her and along with the abortion the mother tried to gaslight her with a story that it was Ted that did that to her.

>>212935870
he's a murderer who also tried to pin the murders on an innocent man

>>212935922
sadly no

>>212936353
He killed a corrupt politician that wants to sell out to the town to tech companies, his shithead son, and a belligerent homeless man that no one else is brave enough to deal with. He did the town a service.

>>212936264
the mother let a man abuse her and seemingly pretended it never happened. The way the MIL reacts to the scene with Austin Butler, gas lighting and walking away. Emma stone seems traumatized by the act of snuggling, which the MIL snuggles with the abusive caretaker right next to Joaquin in bed at the end. idk i'm still kind of pondering it
