Ary Aster, the man behind Geneticand MidsommarAnd Beau is afraidThe candidate may not be the most obvious to make a movie explaining how we live now. But again, there is no more logical kind at this moment more than horror – except for, perhaps, for black comedy, and the new movie that Astter has, but the empty center offers a lot of the two. Edington It occurs in the first days of the Corona virus, in May 2020, although it does not have anything common with the crop of hard films that sought to document what I felt when the world stops. Apparently five years is the minimum distance needed to see the epidemic not only as it was at that time, but this tremendous shock that mainly broke something inside us as a nation. EdingtonIt was placed in New Mexico City, tells the story of a big picture of a small place. I did not like that – I am frankly not sure that I say I loved it – but it is going on the way in which our common reality is broken in ways that may not be fixed, which leaves a mature position for the transverse and opportunists to intervene and take responsibility.
Joe Cross, Sharif Edington played by Joaquin Phoenix, is almost not as stable as he wants to demonstrate. He was flowing to his wife, Louise fragile (Emma Stone), but while he wanted to start a family, she has aversion to touching back to a mysterious ordeal in her youth (“I I am “Improved”, “insists). His mother -in -law, Dawn (Deirdre O’Connell), lived on her weeks for weeks, and she is a thirsty conspiracy debt that insists on putting“ research ”and making sure that Louise consumes it by reading loudly. Asthma, to breathe. He is In a state of denial of the virus that reaches its side from the planet, preferring to think about it as a “problem here”. “A problem here” is the owner of lawyers and mayor Ted Garcia (Pedro Pascal), who has a past with Louise, who is always in N-95, who is exuded by a liberal guilt that cannot stand clearly.
Edington It is surprising that the details of its granular war, starting from the “manipulating” sign on the air truck to the roads that people have taken with fear of each other due to the infection instructions that are still changing to the teenage teen Brian (Cameron Man) on Twitter. But aster, who also wrote the movie, seems more interested in outperforming how the massive disorder of the closure has sent people in different directions than it is in choosing (or even proof of existence). Sarah (Amili Huveever) has become the progress of social media (white) for the local BLM movement, to the extent that the lectures of her former boyfriend to the Black Police Chief giving how he joined her in the streets. Louise becomes installed on a influencer called Vernon Jefferson Peak (which was photographed) that was frequented by children’s posts about children’s episodes with its unannounced history with ill -treatment. Luke (Luke Grames), who is angry with the news coverage of the protests of George Floyd, begins to treat his black co -worker Michael (Michel Ward) with suspicion, while insisting that he had not seen a race before. The city, with a population of 2,435, begins to feel that it will rush to either its continuous decline, expansion and exploration, although it is never clear that ASETER feels about any possibility.
Edington It covers a lot of land, and many of them are very online. In conjunction with the manufacture of films that are more clear and less strange than previous ASTER films, this sometimes leaves that at the risk of deviation to Adam McCai’s satirical widen without being transferred by Adam McCai. What saves her, regardless of ASTER’s willingness to get darker and escalate to heinous violence, is the filming of the movie skilled for the cloudy atmosphere, embodied by water dedication by Phoenix. He may be a narrow atmosphere, but he nevertheless feels that he escapes from him in ways he cannot express, but this scares him. When the rush decides to run against Ted for the mayor’s position, he begins to take care of almost immediate extremist data – motivated by the desire to defeat his opponent, certainly, but also out of the need for the person who “will do the right thing”, with everything that can be discovered at a later time, and restore a crowded town with mysterious ads about the heart and restoration. The most simple and closest society that he talks about again was not clearly present, but the person who rushes through smart phone screens is frightening and frightening, justified, full of conflicting information and self -appointed leaders who are trying to scream over religion.
Joe is not a lot of brockery or scheme. “You want simple and elegant things,” Vernon tells him at some point, and that’s right. But more than that, Joe wants to be the hero of this distorted air. instead of, Edington He puts it as a tragic fool – and explains this role, which none of us is exempt from, regardless of our belief that we know what is going on.
