“Don’t judge the movie as a movie. Judge it as a cultural exposé”
Feel like I have to see it now.
Martin Hähnel I say don't bother. It's terribly implausible and infuriating because of it. A movie like this seems to think it satirizes the worst forms of American discourse, when in reallity it is indistinguishable from it. It's trashy, unintelligent and actually unaware of its numbness. I can't believe the gushing over this piece of work in the article you linked. The whole feverishness of it. The movie is a symbol of the infuriating claim that discoursing like this is smart and/or transgressive. Ugh.
