Rules: explain why
Ready player one.
That has to be one of the cringiest movies I’ve seen, is tries so hard, too hard with it’s “WE LOVE YOU NERD, YOU’RE SO COOL FOR PLAYING GAMES AND GETTING THIS 80S REFERENCE” message and the whole “corporation bad, the people good” narrative seems written for toddlers… The fan service feels cheap and adds nothing to the story.
Finally, they trying to make the people believe that very attractive girl with a barely visible red tint spot on her face is “ugly”… Like wtf?
Yet it received decent reviews plus being one of the most successful movies of that year.
It’s not that deep, you just shut your brain off and go “People died lol!”
It honestly wasn’t until the last movie that I gave a shit about the plot. I feel like till the finale, there really wasn’t any deeper meaning than “Wow Keanu Reeves is a bad motherfucker with a gun! Who knew? Oh right everyone who saw the Matrix when it came out 50 years ago, but still!”
