When political and corporate corruption inevitably leads to the downfall of the earth, the arts will always bring us back together! Suck it nature!

Exiting the theater I am filled with all the same excitement and hostility that I felt coming out of Eddington a few years back. Polarizing and misunderstood films with stellar leads and supporting acts. 

People will argue Digger is trying to do too much and isn’t sure of the story it’s trying to tell. I’d argue the opposite. Its goals are lofty and its production is incredibly ambitious. Its story is timely and purposeful. Viewers are left with the freedom to explore the art and its significance. That right there is the beauty of cinema.

Cruise is phenomenal. Goodman is iconic. The entire cast is so well fit for their roles. We are also blessed with yet another classic Plemgod moment. He’s building a repertoire of surprise screen time that could only rival Philip Seymour Hoffman. The man is one of the greats.

One last note to shoutout two legends of the game: AMC Lincoln Square & Tom Cruise. Getting to have this film in its original VistaVision format, played on a projector designed to handle this unique format was really special. I may have had to sit in a mostly silent theater while all the patrons filed in and no previews played, but man was it pretty to see once the movie started up. The flickering of the film reel starting as the movie began was special and I felt lucky to have the opportunity to see it in this way.

It feels like this movie was made for me

okay this will probably be my first long review but i think it's the best movie of the year it's so crazy

like basically it's literally a critic about society and the rich, how they turn people against us instead of against them and how they only act for money and not care about people, the president was the one that showed it the most since he believed that his body represented the whole world itself

since it's supposed to be a comedy, at least in my opinion, I think that's the critic itself, that to cope with what's happening nowadays people use comedy, since it mostly treated about AI, companies and mostly, oil, the energy of everything. Digger called everyone hypocrites, since they act woke but use oil themselves, not just literally like with gas, but with energy and AI, which is something that's happening today.

it also reminded me a lot of David Lynch's movie Inland Empire, since it quickly changes perspective from their acting and the plot itself

I noticed in the end a phrase or something like that, I don't recall what it said exactly but it reminded me a lot of George Orwell's book 1984, like even after everything and even apparently going through a new virus, people just don't react and the rich keep controlling everything, even if in the background you can hear people screaming things like "fucking fascist"

i think that's all I wanted to say but the movie really made me think a lot even if I got really confused at first, this are all ideas I had while watching it and I hope I could write it all😭😭😭 thanks for reading if you reached here

at times i hated it, at times i loved it. at times i thought it was genius, at times i thought it was bad. 

standing o for jesse plemons’ monologue (the extra joke was so funny), additional half a point because emma d’arcy exists.

The little letters started rolling up the screen, and there I was, sitting still, barely noticing that there was nothing left on the screen but the credits, and that I was the last person in the theater. I stayed there, thinking about the film.
Five other people and I experienced this film together, and I can say with certainty that it affected me more than anyone else, not because it was profound or moving, but quite the opposite. The film is a satire, and there were jokes that only I laughed at. So I think you can already get an idea of the kind of humor we're dealing with here. It definitely won't be everyone's cup of tea, precisely because it hits a nerve. It mocks and questions power, as well as its own satire. How much is it really worth keeping the memory of someone so awful alive? Remembering them through ridicule can be a relief, but it doesn't heal a world wounded by their ignorance. And that's where the film truly shines. By keeping the memory alive, the past ends up shaping even the people closest to the one being ridiculed. It's about finding something good in the midst of heinousness. Literally.
[I got some Clouds of Sils Maria vibes when I realized how this story was being told.]
The film shines even brighter by choosing to ridicule someone who's still alive. It's something that's been happening more and more often, but rarely with such precision. The film knows exactly who it's pointing its finger at, and it doesn't feel the need to beat around the bush to get its point across. And that's what I ended up ranting about to the two theater employees who came over to talk to me. Is it worth keeping someone alive forever, even if it's through mockery?
