Review of The Dead Don't Die (2019) by Loucetios — 10 Apr 2020
A 2 deep 4 u movie. Completely content to wear it's political agenda on the sleeve.
Unfortunately Jarmusch wrangled in Adam Driver and Bill Murray likely through name recognition, which has caused what would normally be a terrible idea to become a movie.
If you ever wondered how pretentious this guy is I'll explain it. This is a middle class director who has made multi-million dollar movies, pissing on middle America and capitalism. (I'd have to imagine the irony is completely lost on him).
The intent here is to make the dialogue as unnatural and as stiff as possible to reflect what I'd imagine Jarmusch feels are awkward times in our society. He reduces our entire society to stereotypes.
The cinema is woefully bad. Shot as an action movie with again, stiff action.
The lesson as always is that we don't deserve to live with badass strong independent but quirky women for whom super advanced aliens will come and allow them to ascend from the mere mortals.
So yeh, it's just sucking off feminists with nothing particularly new or interesting to say beyond, "there is only nihilism".
