Ruben Östlund, Triangle of Sadness, 2022, Film still
ordering burgers more often, it would revive their love for cooking and they wouldn’t be so pissed off all the time. Ever thought of that? Of course you did! You, the viewer, are not the problem. It’s those finance douches and food critics. Doesn’t it feel amazing to watch them and their stupid faces in the marshmallow outfits burn? Okay, I guess we can zoom out a bit. Rich people are too frivolous with all of their resources. And the people who work hard to serve them everyday are tired of it. And those people will soon ignite a potentially violent revolution against the rich. If you’re not
rich and bad, you may be caught in the crossfire, so be careful. Just… ask for a burger, or something, to show that you don’t care about expensive things like the rich people, and people will know that you are on their side, and they’ll actually enjoy accommodating your requests. Even when I perform mental gymnastics to make something meaningful from this movie, it doesn’t work. And I understand that most people aren’t into this movie for its profundity. They think it’s fun, and will think I’m no fun for not being amused or impressed. To that I say, fine.
