Interesting analysis. I liked Glass Onion a lot less than the first one. Seemed to beg to be thought amusing. Daniel Craig was particularly arch, but Norton was even less believable as a real person. Just a straight up cartoon. Was this supposed to be a takedown of Elon? Imo this kind of movie reveals contempt for the audience. As if the filmmakers are so much smarter than us they feel the need to spell out the subtext lest we don’t get it.
I really enjoyed this analysis. I must admit I simply loved the first movie and was entertained by the second. I really try to enjoy the story and the acting and try to block out the political correctness since I know Hollywood cannot help themselves. Nevertheless I must agree the primitive dualism of Hollywood took a set of more complex and hypocritical characters in the first movie and turned them into more buffoonish tropes in the second. Perhaps they will serialize this as anime ;)
You've ensured I'll never watch these movies, so thanks at least for that
