Watched Don't Worry Darling. It's the new film directed by Olivia Wilde with Chris Pine where she said that Pine's character was based off of Jordan Peterson. I like this kind of stuff in general and I was really curious what the fuck that meant. The film takes place in a 1950s Stepford Wivesy setting where all the husband goes off to work for a mysterious organization and the wives stay home. There are some bizarre occurrences, a mystery, etc. You know how Get Out took a bunch of familiar science fiction and horror themes and used them to tell a new story? Don't Worry Darling is like it's mirror opposite. It takes a bunch of familiar themes and cobbles together something derivative and uninspired.
[spoilers] It's actually the near future and the town of Victory is a simulation. All the housewives except Olivia's character had their memories wiped. We see the life that Alice, our main character, was living with her husband Jack. She puts in 30 hour shifts at the hospital as a doctor while he sits at home getting radicalized listening to Not Jordan Peterson podcasts. He's passive aggressive and creepy with long, greasy hair. You know, the kind of guy a doctor marries. He's buttmad about his dry penis or something, drugs his wife and signing them both up to live in The Matrix. [/quote]
The Pitch Meeting for this is actually brutal.
I watched this over two sittings and forgot about a bunch of things. It's a goddamn sea of things that are introduced to go nowhere.
I liked the soundtrack but Olivia must have spent a big fucking sack of cash on getting all the songs. It's well shot with good set design and the acting is fine but the story itself is just dull. Get Out stands on its own. This pales in comparison to The Stepford Wives and that film is like 45 years old and everyone knows the twist.
