“Eddington”, criticism: anti-yellow stone West about paranoia 2020.

Director Ari Aster Return to cinemas with EddingtonHis new film. After success, it seems Average or HereditaryThe director wants to compensate for the inequality of the opinions received by his last film, God is afraidHe does this with a field with an experiment that seems radical. And this adds the viewer in Neawéster in the key to the black comedy thanks to investment in the entire paranoia in 2020, both pandemia and social requirements.

Story Eddington Has as the main character Joe CrossSheriff of the small city of New Mexico. This is May 2020, and the events that were untied in the world divide society and turn the city into an ideal half -water. Denial against science, corruption against honesty, racial discrimination against mass protests, terrorism, sect … Everything is suitable for the madness of this miserable person who does not want to allow life to convey it.

Political satire in which everything is worth

IN EddingtonIN Ari Aster He is completely freed to shameless criticism of the American (and Western society as a whole). Taking advantage of such a radical situation that it was 2020, the director without hesitation indicates the behavior and “waves of thought” (in order to call this in some way) more absurd and funny. Its main attention is paid to the denial of the Covid-19. The current, which caused such a large damage at the sanitary level, expanding Bulos, is perfectly reflected in the film, with all its seams and nonsense.

In this regard, it is great that Aster Decide to make your protagonist another negative. A person who does not understand science and does not want to listen to those who do this. But, yes, the director is not satisfied to give sticks only to some. And this is that the film also adhered to those who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to reveal their corruption behind the population. This even indicates how those who paid attention to the recommendations are too many times, or only to look good (brilliant, this policeman with a mask under the nose) or did not even want to understand the opposite.

Egoism, lack of sympathy … Social confrontation. Eddington He does not seek to perform the exercise in thought, only influence. To reflect everything on the screen with all our nonsense. Because it is not limited to coronavirus, but it plays much more sticks. Black Lives Matter, sects that use people suffering from sexual violence … on all these issues, Ari Aster Find the way to laugh around the world. And some jokes or moments are delightfully funny and crazy about loved ones who are reality.

Of course, not everyone works just as well. Moreover, in addition to these initial Gracietas, it should be recognized that the vast majority of these problems become too outdated. In 2025, we already said, discussed and searched for all approaches, including comedians, about them. Despite the fact that he is sharp and confuses, there is always a background feeling that these jokes would work much better three years ago than now. In general, this is a portrait of society for only a few tens of months. But in the world of immediacy they are already late. And this makes her more tired and repeated than she should.

Western vision of Ari Aster

With his feet, we must admit, despite everything that is wonderful, that Ari Aster fulfills this satire from the approach. I could perfectly place us in a big city or just bet on a thriller or a modern rural drama. But to resolve in Neowestern is especially good Eddington To draw parallels with the genre. Good, bad … Western is a reflection of human nature, and this is understood as a director who seeks to extract him from presentism, as was done during the last century.

Today, seeing the Western set in the present, it is inevitable to think about YellowstoneThe Great Revival Review of this type of stories, however, is radically opposite EddingtonThe field in the series We saw some characters full of gray and with whom we could not agree on ideals, but in ideas, in the spirit. They are built as heroes (or anti -heroes) in a rotten world. Here we have a miserable protroganist, poor unfortunate who does not even know where he gives him air, and takes pictures, as he cannot be melted. This does not bring admiration or sympathy, only a pity.

This vision, so opposite to most modern and past westerns, is what makes it special for EddingtonThe field although it is built with the grandeur of jeans, its background is the other way around. The rhythm is quite irregular and far from a round film. But in the world, noted by the proposals, which are from KOVI-PEGA, the vision of the director with such proposals, so true for himself, is an excellent incentive.

Excellent cast that gave more

Of course, for the general public, one of the most attractive aspects Eddington This is his star cast. Joaquin Phoenix He is the main character, but also Pedro PascalIN Emma StoneIN Austin ButlerIN Luke Grimes… and although some are bright, especially Phoenix And Pascal As the main character and antagonist, others could take more Chichy.

In fact, it should be admitted that among the reserves of the issues that he wants to discuss, the plot Butler And Stone This is a favorite, especially poorly represented in accordance with the rest. This can be excluded, and nothing will happen. For your part, Luke Grimes This is very opaque in a completely secondary role, which does not allow it to shine, as it happens in YellowstoneField

As a result, Eddington This is a very interesting proposal that unites again Ari Aster As one of the most diverse directors and take into account in the present Hollywood. With black humor and a large amount of discomfort, he makes a rather accurate portrait in the miserable code of Neouster’s absurdity for a person (especially American) as a result of 2020. In any case, the tape is weighed with an irregular and repeating rhythm, which makes it two and a half hours for excessive duration.

Eddington It opens in cinemas on September 12.
