Blink Twice is a jumbled mess, clearly made by misandrist, liberal feminist whose brain is in manic constant overdrive. The plot? Nonexistent. It's just the rambling of a manic mind, with scenes that make no sense and characters who feel like they were pulled from a hat. A movie best described as a colorful nightmare with an endless stream of meaningless dialogue. The visual style, though vibrant, does little to salvage the disjointed narrative. Each scene feels like it's trying too hard to be profound but ends up being confusing instead. Overall, Blink Twice is more a reflection of its director's chaotic thought process than a well-crafted film.
What should have been a case study in what could lead people to civil war was just was a voyeuristic look into what an American conflict would like. Its told through the lens of photojournalism (which was bit annoying and added incessant cuts in the film). From a character development standpoint it just wasn't there , the film is full of caricatures but not characters. The plot is pretty thin and as someone who is a Garland fan I felt dissatisfied with this film. The movie is an antiwar film and its clear the director wants to pacify an American audience that might feel like civil war is a viable option in our current political climate. To achieve this he makes the president look cartoonishly evil. And in way he also reflects the mania and cruelness of the rebel forces. The film functions as a kind of cathartic thought study to quell very real divisions that exist in modern American society by exposing the audience to worst case scenario outcome. Overall, the movie felt less like a story and more like a long drawn out warning.
This show is definitely about a cult. A left wing eco cult but a cult nonetheless. This shows the lifestyle many hardcore anarcho left wingers want to engage in. Living in the wilderness. Reverting back to some dystopian techno bronze age where you go to the bathroom in hole and never take shower. Where you live in a commune, do all types of backbreaking manual labor, then melt your brain on drugs all day and drive busted cars from the 80s. The problem is that it also shows many communes don't work and how democracy can be abused to just be coercion of the weak by the strong. It lays it all bare. It shows the experiment of communism doesn't work it just leads to uniformity and coercion where secretive insiders rule everything. So yes, it's an interesting case study of why modern left wing anarchism doesn't work and how it's ultimately weird and culty. Thank you HBO for making this show.
