Interstellar (2014)
Nolan saves capitalism... again.
Is it me or it feels like Nolan's last movies are all the same ? In Batman, after it created creepy marginals, capitalism get rid of them by a cool white dude with very expensive toys. In Inception, after it created monopolistic conglomerates, capitalism gets a new breeze of free market thanks to a cool white dude with very expensive toys. In Interstellar, after it completely ruined the earth, capitalism is exported to ruin other planets by a cool white dude with very expensive toys. The cool white dude eventually gets some help by willingly exploited minorities (a black, an Asian, a smurfette, and all new in Interstellar : a robot, pretty useful when you want a minority you can just throw away without any regrets after exploiting it) working hard to make this capitalist messiah succeed. Without forgetting the words of wisdom of the old patriarchal white man (mostly Michael Caine). The message is always pretty obvious : to save capitalism, buy big toys and exploit others.
Yes I put a spoiler warning on this review : capitalism gets saved.
La classe américaine (1993)
"Caution ! This film is not a film on cyclims."
What the words "Monde de merde" (fucking world) means ? Is it a name ? Is it a woman's ? Is it a horse's ? Or is it a sledge's ? On a story based on Citizen Kane, three journalists, Dave (Paul Newman), Peter (Dustin Hoffman) and Steven (Robert Redford), are investigating the life of George Abidbol (John Wayne) after his mysterious death, searching the meaning of his last words "Monde de merde". But wait a second... a french film with Paul Newman, Dustin Hoffman, Robert Redford and John Wayne ??? No, I didn't drink too much. Actually, this "flim" is a mix of many old films, dubbed in french with silly dialogues which don't have any sort of link with originals. And that makes one of the funniest film I've ever seen !!!
