Eddington

Ironical, Symbolic, Poetic Those are some words of how I can describe Eddington as a film. I loved Eddington the first watch and my love still the same, I consider this work the high class masterpiece of 2025 that unfortunately was criminally overlooked and misunderstood by some. Ari Aster experiment the Western genre to develop a successful political and social critic towards a crucial phase of the world, the film isn't made to be liked or loved, and that's conceptually the roots of its brilliance, because it represents a satiric of how both political extremes and social anxiety could be perjudicial in the wrong hands and with bad behaviors. Joe Cross is the representation of someone greedy disguised of a righteous man, who thinks his bad actions are justified because is making something benefical, but in fact was affecting the ones surrounding him and he didn't care in the least; precisely the ending of the film fits the message perfectly, showing us the consequences of prioritizing you're self ideals than what is morally correct. While this kind of human behavior exists, we will remain in the status quo without any kind of progress. Aster's masterpiece isn't Heredity, neither Midsommar, it is Eddington. An underrated gem that proves the great experiences we could have through someone who has the guts to take risks and give it all his auteurship potential, there are times that can't work, but gladly Aster is one of these that know how to surprise us.
