| Description | Boon Joon Ho delivers another darkly comic satire that hits too close to home and seems just a little to bit topical. A pretty blatent, and not innacruate, apparsial of celebrity worship and late stage capitalism; where the ultimate goal is to forever make things cheaper and faster. We finally made earth and even humans disposable. Yet, instead of a paradise of cheap goods, we see a world of universal suffering and acceptance of their fate. In gray suits, people eat gray food, and fly though space in a grey box, so they can start anew on a barren ice world. Like Snowpiercer, this dystopia has a class system that is revealed through out the movie. Ho's genius to show a complete unrealistic world and populate it with real world idosyncrancies that make the unrealness seem mundanly familiar; from the bored office workers to the loading of the feeding tray for the "human printer." I was distracted by the aliens, which seems more like something from a Disney cartoon than a dystopian reality. But that is my one small complaint. |
