The Oscars were this past weekend and the movie that won “Everything Everywhere All At Once,” was a bit of a disappointment to those who appreciate good movies, as it was long, poorly edited, and not all that enjoyable to a discerning audience. But it was directed by a minority, so it had to be cheered by the glitterati.
Shapiro correctly questioned whether anyone will care about this movie in five years. The Daily Wire reports:
“In five years, nobody will watch ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once,’” the podcast host tweeted.
“The movie is meh,” he added. “It is overlong (2 hrs 19 min!), confused, and generally bizarre. In fact, nobody has watched a single best picture winner five years later since 2007’s ‘No Country For Old Men.’”
People largely agreed with Shapiro on Twitter, as the Daily Wire reports, tweeting things like,
“Agree. I did enjoy it although it was hard work at times. But I’ve had the chance to watch it again multiple times and I haven’t wanted to. I can quote you every line of dialogue from ‘No Country,’ that gets rewatched at least annually.”
“I went to that movie with high expectations, but walked out 20 minutes later. The intellectual part of my mind couldn’t convince the rest of my mind that it was worth staying.”
“Agreed. It was entertaining but also not groundbreaking or spectacular. ‘Top Gun’ was actually closer to being just generally good, broke some serious ground in terms of realism and special effects, had a strong story, and should have been rewarded as such. But here we are. Woke.”
And Shapiro didn’t end it there. Continuing with his prediction, he said, “In five years hence, we will look at the numbers and see how many people are still watching ‘Everywhere Everything All at Once’ forever for all time. I think the answer’s going to be nil.”
He next said, “In fact, let me name for you the films that have won best picture in the last fifteen years, and you tell me if you have ever rewatched any of them…You want to know why the Oscars are failing, guys. Because you won’t nominate films that people like to watch. That people enjoy watching and don’t feel obligated to watch.”
Then again, the movies that people actually watch, “cape” movies made by Marvel or woke cartoons pushed by Disney, are hardly Oscars-worthy either. So it seems Americans are doomed to extremely bad movies. On one hand are the ridiculous super hero movies and their somewhat subtle woke messages. On the other hand there are even worse movies with even more obvious woke messages but at least something of a plot other than just a collection of special effects montages. Yikes.
