Review of Sorry to Bother You (2018) by Silverrocket — 10 Aug 2018
The first 10 minutes ring up like a low budget comedy...nevermind the music videos played before depicting a white rich person getting decapitated, which is fine. I dont care, I really dont. I suspected it was related to the movie but, not until I realized the actor in the music video was the "white voice" our hero uses early on the make the social and financial transformation he experiences.
"Sound like you have a ferarii in the driveway and all your bills are paid...like white people do". I dont quote precisely, but close enough for crappy movies. The attempt to combine low budget comedy w social commentary and artsy awareness/quirkyness winds up just being tired cliche', on all points.
Starving artist, poor to rich, turning your back on the little people for money, and ultimate redemption. White racial insensitivity, demonic buisnessmen either white or black w "white voice" tearing the world appart through marketed self imposed slavery where our hereo winds up working for big money.
All of which who partake in "worryfreeliving" of course are white too...which is basically slavery. The only new aspect is the genetic manipulation of humans for use in labor half horse half man.
Avoid this movie unkess you want to bask in its wokeness and laugh with other woke people to absolutely not a funny movie. It literally is a terrible movie.
