And doing it while being backed up by Matt, who has said multiple times on his vlogs that capital strips movies of their art and replaces them with politics to help the audience feel something that would otherwise be missing. This is capital doing that for you, bucko. This movie is not great.
Honestly it sounds like Chapos are trying to fill whatever void they're experiencing with something at least a bit similar to what they collectively felt about Starship Troopers.
This is the part of the Chapo movie where they realize they can't bring their favorite Dutchman's magic back and will have come to terms with those feelings being tied to their past selves -- to the people they are no more and never will be again. Not only because how they changed, but how the world changed around them. They will struggle to understand this as they refuse to acknowledge how they are, in fact, not entirely independent from their surroundings. They will try to claim that Avatar -- the same thing that destroyed the future of the kind of art that Starship Troopers represents -- is, actually, its extension. They will believe that they can make it true with sophisticated incantations and rituals, but they will stumble and fail.
How will they reconcile their insular identities as defiant critics of reality they pretend to be above and their longing for attachment to the very reality that inevitably shapes them? How will they cope with the fact they failed to hide their earnest longing for Paul Verhoeven's art of their younger years, but the anxieties about the futility of the act made them preface their faux-ironic analysis in the guise of a bit?
...damn this movie is better than i thought. i wonder what they'll do in the sequel? do you think they'll just reboot the same concepts as the original but more modernized with a sassy BIPOC woman plot driver (AOC 2024)? Also, it's starting to hemorrhage characters as the actors move onto other things. Do you think they'll try to find someone to replace Virgil or just re-cast the same character with a new actor and not acknowledge it?
