Eddington

Ari Aster has balls as big as Beau's to make a film like this. It really accurately encapsulates the absurdity and insanity of modern politics and how it drives everyday people crazy. It's saying that it's all a distraction from the bigger picture and we should realise who the real enemy is. And ironicly all the negative reviews of this movie that are just complaining that it doesn't reinforce their beliefs enough are proving the very point that went enteirely over their heads. This is a movie best to go into blind as it doesn't reveal what it's really about until quite far into it and it's a pretty great moment. It's a satire, western, comedy and action all at once. With Beau is Afriad and now this Aster has proven to be one of the most unique and ahead if his time directors working today and I'm sold on anything else he's gonna make. There's a lot to unpack here and the more I think about it there more I like it dispite it not at all being what I expected it to be. Definitely gonna need a rewatch soon but I can say it has certainly left and influence on me.
