I couldn't make it through, that whole start scene with the suited cunts talking over and mocking just triggered huge aggro.
I found it difficult to watch when i did due to the situation, maybe not right in covid but not out of it either. As depressing as it made me feel at points (girlfriends choice of movie so had to sit through it but we alternate so only fair) I found it amusing that while plainly satire the actual dialogue and actions were pretty much what at least one democratically elected administration showed during a huge crisis. If it aired 10 years previous it'd probably be in the bin of crappy spoof movies for being so ridiculous and maybe get a cult folowing, yet it was practically a documentary with the situation changed.
I can understand not feeling comfortable due to the triggering in it though, it wasn't exactly a fun watch even if it was a comedy.
Ha. Remember when Idiocracy was just a funny movie making fun of us and not prophecy.
We're going to legalize prostitution? Have it so that you can get into any high paying job you want without a college degree while still automating the work no one wants to do? Put the smartest man in the world in charge of our worst problems, which we are acknowledging exist?
Seriously, Idiocracy is a utopia compared to reality, I will die on this hill.
Oh I'm disgusted by that behaviour irl, so i'm disgusted by it on screen. I do not think i'm the target audience for this film, i consider climate deniers to be traitors against humanity
It wasn't till I read you original comment that I remembered how awful I felt at one point watching it, I get it and understand not wanting to subject yourself to that sort of feeling willingly. Thankfully it passed and I was able to watch, but I won't say I enjoyed it, just that in an art sense it has merit.
For me it was the end scene which broke me.
Idk I loved watching them eat the rich
