WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.060 Welcome back to Ripe Avocados. Today we're going 00:00:03.060 --> 00:00:06.179 to do Begonia. I think I pronounced that right. 00:00:06.459 --> 00:00:10.699 New movie with Jesse Plemons and Emma Stone and 00:00:10.699 --> 00:00:13.779 a few others. Stavros Halkias, he's becoming 00:00:13.779 --> 00:00:16.239 a big time actor now I guess. So let's jump into 00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:36.100 this one and hear what it was about. So the movie 00:00:36.100 --> 00:00:41.679 Begonia is basically if you took just one of 00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:45.979 the many conspiracy theorists and psychotic people 00:00:45.979 --> 00:00:48.939 you see on Instagram reels or in Reddit threads, 00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:53.740 if you took him and made him even more extreme 00:00:53.740 --> 00:00:56.380 to the point where he will actually act out on 00:00:56.380 --> 00:00:58.990 the things he'll do. And he's dragging along 00:00:58.990 --> 00:01:03.229 his super innocent friend, Donnie, who is just 00:01:03.229 --> 00:01:07.530 has nothing else going in life. And we'll just 00:01:07.530 --> 00:01:09.870 follow whatever Teddy Jesse Plemons character 00:01:09.870 --> 00:01:15.489 says. And they basically kidnap the CEO, Emma 00:01:15.489 --> 00:01:19.790 Stone, of a major pharmaceutical company because 00:01:19.790 --> 00:01:22.750 they believe that she is an alien and trying 00:01:22.750 --> 00:01:28.019 to kill humanity. And the whole movie is. Jesse 00:01:28.019 --> 00:01:32.480 Plemons rattling off the most conspiracy theorist 00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:36.560 sounding arguments the whole time and as a viewer 00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:38.579 you're watching it being like holy shit he's 00:01:38.579 --> 00:01:40.219 literally just torturing Emma Stone this whole 00:01:40.219 --> 00:01:43.980 time shaves her head off bashes her kneecap in 00:01:43.980 --> 00:01:49.780 um and shit starts to unfold more and more throughout 00:01:49.780 --> 00:01:54.909 the story and you're really rooting for Emma 00:01:54.909 --> 00:01:56.590 Stone pretty much the whole time you're like 00:01:56.590 --> 00:01:58.930 Jesus Christ Jesse Plemons is just the craziest 00:01:58.930 --> 00:02:02.510 motherfucker ever until the very end where it's 00:02:02.510 --> 00:02:06.450 revealed that Emma Stone is in fact an Andromeda 00:02:06.450 --> 00:02:10.409 yeah let's get into entertainment here I really 00:02:10.409 --> 00:02:14.550 like this movie I know you did would you say 00:02:14.550 --> 00:02:18.750 this is top movie of the year or top it's it's 00:02:18.750 --> 00:02:22.729 my favorite movie this year I think and I've 00:02:22.729 --> 00:02:24.810 been combing back through my brain the movies 00:02:24.810 --> 00:02:28.490 I've seen this year. There's a couple that pop 00:02:28.490 --> 00:02:31.610 out to me. I really liked Warfare. I thought 00:02:31.610 --> 00:02:34.849 Sinners was good. But I think Begonia takes the 00:02:34.849 --> 00:02:37.330 cake for me. At least right now. I don't know 00:02:37.330 --> 00:02:40.289 what else is coming out this year, but Begonia 00:02:40.289 --> 00:02:42.650 was... We got Avatar. Avatar coming up. That 00:02:42.650 --> 00:02:46.289 could... I could care less. I mean, maybe. I 00:02:46.289 --> 00:02:48.310 don't think it was my favorite movie, but I would 00:02:48.310 --> 00:02:53.750 say it's top five for sure. I like weapons more, 00:02:53.889 --> 00:02:55.590 but I think it was pretty close. Yeah, I knew 00:02:55.590 --> 00:02:57.430 you would. I think it was pretty close to weapons. 00:02:57.590 --> 00:03:00.469 Honestly, similar tone to weapons, too. It's 00:03:00.469 --> 00:03:05.349 not as scary, but it's pretty graphic and violent 00:03:05.349 --> 00:03:10.669 at times, for sure. Oh, yeah. And the only other 00:03:10.669 --> 00:03:14.250 one I might consider more is the one battle after 00:03:14.250 --> 00:03:16.889 another. But honestly, I kind of like this movie 00:03:16.889 --> 00:03:20.460 a little more, I think. Those are my top three 00:03:20.460 --> 00:03:22.800 of the year. But I would still say Weapons was 00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:25.759 my personal favorite. But that doesn't mean this 00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:29.740 movie was poor entertainment -wise. I was glued 00:03:29.740 --> 00:03:32.860 to my seat. No bathroom breaks. It's not that 00:03:32.860 --> 00:03:36.039 long either. I think it's under an hour 50 or 00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:43.939 an hour 55, which was good. But just a very interesting... 00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:48.120 original plot that worked out you know well actually 00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:51.199 not original it's i think it's technically a 00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:54.300 remake an english remake of the south korean 00:03:54.300 --> 00:03:57.000 film save the green planet that was released 00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:01.139 in 2003 okay okay or at least very similar plot 00:04:01.139 --> 00:04:02.979 lines because that movie saved the green planet 00:04:02.979 --> 00:04:06.699 it's about a guy that i think kidnaps his co 00:04:06.699 --> 00:04:09.659 -worker who he believes is an alien or something 00:04:09.659 --> 00:04:11.460 along those lines i've never seen the movie but 00:04:11.460 --> 00:04:14.509 that's what i've read Alright, well, regardless, 00:04:14.810 --> 00:04:19.970 first iteration of Begonia, but it's not a story 00:04:19.970 --> 00:04:22.670 I was familiar with whatsoever. I didn't watch 00:04:22.670 --> 00:04:25.949 the trailer really at all. I didn't know much 00:04:25.949 --> 00:04:28.050 about it. I just knew that Emma Stone was going 00:04:28.050 --> 00:04:30.910 to get kidnapped once I read a short little bio 00:04:30.910 --> 00:04:35.829 on it. But just a lot of stuff to unpack with 00:04:35.829 --> 00:04:39.089 this movie. I mean, there is... The beginning 00:04:39.089 --> 00:04:42.370 is... is almost it's just narrated by jesse plemmons 00:04:42.370 --> 00:04:45.649 and he was so good so good in this movie i've 00:04:45.649 --> 00:04:50.170 always kind of not disliked him i just thought 00:04:50.170 --> 00:04:53.470 he was good not didn't move the needle for me 00:04:53.470 --> 00:04:56.769 in any in any real way i everyone knows he's 00:04:56.769 --> 00:04:59.269 always great in those like certain character 00:04:59.269 --> 00:05:04.410 roles like in game night or in civil war um even 00:05:04.410 --> 00:05:10.000 in that show with elizabeth olsen He plays good 00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:14.779 roles, but I never saw him as, I guess, the lead 00:05:14.779 --> 00:05:20.959 actor. But I think him and Emma Stone, they might 00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:23.720 get Oscar noms for this movie. They definitely 00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:28.139 will. I think Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons were 00:05:28.139 --> 00:05:32.439 the defining roles of the movie. We can talk 00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:34.279 more about them in characters, but I think... 00:05:34.810 --> 00:05:37.870 They made the movie very interesting. There's 00:05:37.870 --> 00:05:40.129 a lot of dialogue in this movie, honestly. There's 00:05:40.129 --> 00:05:43.829 just a lot of confrontation, like torture methods, 00:05:43.930 --> 00:05:48.230 but not really too much torture aside from the 00:05:48.230 --> 00:05:52.550 high voltage scene. He's not really waterboarding 00:05:52.550 --> 00:05:56.250 her. For the most part, she's just in solitude 00:05:56.250 --> 00:06:00.310 and trying to negotiate her way out. And bald. 00:06:00.939 --> 00:06:04.319 Yeah, bald. I mean, it's not like they are kidnapping 00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:07.300 her. They are treating her like a prisoner. Yes. 00:06:07.540 --> 00:06:12.079 And it really just drives this question the whole 00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:14.920 time you're watching it. You're trying to fathom 00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:18.259 whether or not she's actually an alien. And to 00:06:18.259 --> 00:06:22.600 be honest, I kind of assumed she was an alien 00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:25.000 when he originally said this. Because it was 00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:28.620 just so far -fetched. And I didn't really know 00:06:28.620 --> 00:06:32.100 where it was going to go. It leads really into 00:06:32.100 --> 00:06:35.079 Emma Stone's acting ability. She has these really 00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:40.399 coy, odd answers to some questions. And Jesse 00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:43.639 Plemons never is phased by anything that she 00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:47.899 says. He is on his shit from the get -go. And 00:06:47.899 --> 00:06:52.220 he was right the whole time. And I always kind 00:06:52.220 --> 00:06:55.019 of thought he was going to be right in that instance. 00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:57.579 I didn't know how it was going to unravel. at 00:06:57.579 --> 00:06:59.959 all and i think that's why it was such an entertaining 00:06:59.959 --> 00:07:03.879 movie i did not expect the brother or the cousin 00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:06.800 to kill himself i did not expect that whole yeah 00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:10.839 that whole thing to unravel like it did that 00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:15.100 such a such a sad scene too very sad i mean donnie's 00:07:15.100 --> 00:07:19.139 character in itself was such a tragic character 00:07:19.139 --> 00:07:22.220 right like Let's go to characters now. Let's 00:07:22.220 --> 00:07:24.579 just talk about the characters. Donnie, before 00:07:24.579 --> 00:07:27.800 we start glazing Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons 00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:30.339 even more, I want to touch on some of the side 00:07:30.339 --> 00:07:33.600 characters, like Donnie. I thought he was played 00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:36.300 really well. I don't know the actor's name, but 00:07:36.300 --> 00:07:41.519 such a tragic character. Clearly, it's known 00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:44.800 he has some sort of disability, learning disability. 00:07:47.209 --> 00:07:49.629 He's just kind of this innocent soul that is 00:07:49.629 --> 00:07:52.769 dragged along by Jesse Plemons' character. And 00:07:52.769 --> 00:07:55.730 Jesse Plemons puts him through the fucking ringer. 00:07:55.750 --> 00:07:59.269 I mean, he chemically castrates him. He's forcing 00:07:59.269 --> 00:08:03.930 him basically to kidnap Emma Stone and have her 00:08:03.930 --> 00:08:06.629 locked up in the basement, hold a shotgun to 00:08:06.629 --> 00:08:08.790 make sure she doesn't leave or do anything crazy. 00:08:09.149 --> 00:08:11.730 I mean, this kid is being put through the absolute 00:08:11.730 --> 00:08:15.740 ringer. And you just feel so sorry for him. But 00:08:15.740 --> 00:08:19.480 at the end of the day, it's like he just loves 00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:23.959 Jesse Plemons so much, like to a fault, to where 00:08:23.959 --> 00:08:26.399 he will just listen to whatever he says. And 00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:29.360 in the end, that's what gets him to kill himself. 00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:33.879 It's such a sad storyline to see unfold. And 00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:38.769 even when you get to... the end where it is true 00:08:38.769 --> 00:08:41.570 emma stone is an alien jesse plemmons was right 00:08:41.570 --> 00:08:46.570 all along you still don't get that sense of gratification 00:08:46.570 --> 00:08:51.169 because a emma stone and the andromedans end 00:08:51.169 --> 00:08:55.490 up killing the human race anyways the means by 00:08:55.490 --> 00:09:01.350 which jesse plemmons got his answer i mean like 00:09:01.350 --> 00:09:05.960 he was torturing her he had killed and tortured 00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:10.340 and dissected and experimented on numerous other 00:09:10.340 --> 00:09:13.840 people probably regular humans but also apparently 00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:17.039 two other andromedans that he killed like he's 00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:21.000 been doing this for a while now and it's just 00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:24.759 this grotesque method to find this answer that 00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:27.759 he's trying to search for and even if he get 00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:30.059 he doesn't even get the answer at the end he 00:09:30.059 --> 00:09:33.340 fucking blows himself up yeah and i liked how 00:09:34.029 --> 00:09:37.470 that that scene was shot too because i don't 00:09:37.470 --> 00:09:39.789 really think it's i think it's left for interpretation 00:09:39.789 --> 00:09:45.450 this is how i i thought of it does did she actually 00:09:45.450 --> 00:09:48.529 sent him through that portal and his bomb just 00:09:48.529 --> 00:09:51.090 like reacted to it i think that's really what 00:09:51.090 --> 00:09:55.350 happens this is this is what i was thinking too 00:09:55.350 --> 00:09:58.710 because i was trying to figure out why it exploded 00:09:58.710 --> 00:10:01.809 she sends him into the closet and she's already 00:10:01.809 --> 00:10:05.700 backing away So she knows some, she feels that 00:10:05.700 --> 00:10:08.139 something is going to go wrong here. And I think 00:10:08.139 --> 00:10:10.720 what happens is when she ends up going through 00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:13.580 the portal at the end, the teleporter to get 00:10:13.580 --> 00:10:17.080 back to her mothership, that cut scene where 00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:19.899 it's just like, it looks like cells forming. 00:10:19.980 --> 00:10:23.139 It looks very molecular. And then she rises out 00:10:23.139 --> 00:10:27.200 of that liquid goo. It looks like she's reborn 00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:29.700 again. So I think what the teleporter did was 00:10:30.509 --> 00:10:33.850 kind of break all the cells down and then reform 00:10:33.850 --> 00:10:37.230 them in the ship which is what Emma Stone did 00:10:37.230 --> 00:10:39.450 tell Jesse Plemons she's like we can't go both 00:10:39.450 --> 00:10:41.429 go through at the same time or else we might 00:10:41.429 --> 00:10:44.029 merge together on the other side so I think what 00:10:44.029 --> 00:10:46.669 happened was it just broke his body down and 00:10:46.669 --> 00:10:50.350 set off the explosion which is what killed yeah 00:10:50.350 --> 00:10:52.570 that's a good way to interpret it it was a good 00:10:52.570 --> 00:10:54.929 point like she does back away so she knew something 00:10:54.929 --> 00:10:58.250 was going to happen there And yeah, I mean, RIP 00:10:58.250 --> 00:11:01.830 to Donnie. He did not deserve any of that. And 00:11:01.830 --> 00:11:05.990 yeah, I mean, this movie was just very, very 00:11:05.990 --> 00:11:07.710 interesting. Donnie was probably my favorite 00:11:07.710 --> 00:11:09.909 character. The other character that they do touch 00:11:09.909 --> 00:11:13.629 on a lot is their mother, or Jesse Plemons' mother. 00:11:14.009 --> 00:11:19.350 That part, I didn't completely fathom. Let's 00:11:19.350 --> 00:11:23.600 talk through that. So she... I was under the 00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:26.159 impression that she was an Andromedon or an alien, 00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:29.379 which is why she was like levitating or whatever. 00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:31.960 But it just turns out Emma Stone was doing some 00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:36.620 sort of experiment on her and caused her to levitate. 00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:42.460 So she, the pharmaceutical, this is how I interpret 00:11:42.460 --> 00:11:45.440 it. The pharmaceutical company that Emma Stone 00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:50.500 runs was. developing a new drug that they were 00:11:50.500 --> 00:11:53.779 testing on sandy jesse plummet's mother because 00:11:53.779 --> 00:11:58.039 she was coming off opioids or addicted to opioids 00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:00.639 and they were giving her this new drug she was 00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:04.419 a worker to help her out yes except the new drug 00:12:04.419 --> 00:12:08.399 kind of put her into this catatonic state and 00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:11.519 or vegetative state and you see her just lying 00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:13.539 in the hospital bed later in the movie before 00:12:13.539 --> 00:12:16.600 jesse plummet's eyes to serve with antifreeze 00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:20.419 but I think those black and white scenes where 00:12:20.419 --> 00:12:22.759 it's a flashback with Jesse Plemons with his 00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:25.419 mom, especially the one standing outside the 00:12:25.419 --> 00:12:28.519 headquarters with her floating away. I think 00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:33.679 that was more metaphorical to the whole situation. 00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:36.240 It was him like holding on to her like a balloon. 00:12:36.419 --> 00:12:40.220 And you keep seeing her slip out of his grasp. 00:12:40.620 --> 00:12:45.240 So I think it was more just sort of an analogy 00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:48.990 to... This whole idea that these big corporations 00:12:48.990 --> 00:12:53.250 will just, it doesn't matter that their drug 00:12:53.250 --> 00:12:56.549 ended up putting his mother into a vegetative 00:12:56.549 --> 00:12:58.889 state. Like the whole time, Emma Stone's whole 00:12:58.889 --> 00:13:01.049 spiel during that black and white scene is like, 00:13:01.190 --> 00:13:05.789 hey, we will pay for all those services. Don't 00:13:05.789 --> 00:13:08.850 worry about it. And she's feeding him all this 00:13:08.850 --> 00:13:13.529 big pharma bullshit. Exactly. And you see him 00:13:13.529 --> 00:13:16.059 trying to hold on to the balloon. which is his 00:13:16.059 --> 00:13:18.519 mother, but it's just slipping further and further 00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:21.519 out of his grasp. Yeah. I mean, that's a good 00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:22.500 way to put it. I gotta stop doing this motion. 00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:26.080 Yeah, it looks like you're, like, jerking off 00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:30.519 a giant or something. Yeah. I just kind of wish 00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:32.240 they explained that a little more, but I did 00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:34.539 like how it was thrown in there, because for 00:13:34.539 --> 00:13:36.860 a portion of the movie, I was thinking that Jesse 00:13:36.860 --> 00:13:40.860 Plemons was an Andromedan, and his mom was one. 00:13:40.919 --> 00:13:43.700 That's why she was levitating, and he was just... 00:13:44.139 --> 00:13:47.259 not accepting that he was one of them and i i 00:13:47.259 --> 00:13:49.320 don't know i my mind was racing but that's why 00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:52.159 this movie was so good because i could not put 00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:55.340 together the pieces really until the end and 00:13:55.340 --> 00:13:58.379 i love a movie that just makes me think makes 00:13:58.379 --> 00:14:00.240 me want to dive into the reddit threads with 00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:02.320 the conspiracy theorists that jesse plummins 00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:04.720 is i want to dive into those threads and read 00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:07.440 more about what people have to say i think that 00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:13.840 whole spiel on um his his mother and her tie 00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:17.080 -in with the pharma company and Emma Stone is 00:14:17.080 --> 00:14:20.840 just the fact that Jesse Plemons in his mind 00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:27.000 his his reasoning for or the conclusion he came 00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:30.980 to was Emma Stone killed my mother this drug 00:14:30.980 --> 00:14:33.000 killed my mother this company killed my mother 00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:36.259 they don't give a shit about humans and I'm going 00:14:36.259 --> 00:14:40.980 to work out this theory to figure out how this 00:14:40.980 --> 00:14:44.029 lady is so evil and i don't think she can be 00:14:44.029 --> 00:14:46.750 this evil and be a human she has to be an alien 00:14:46.750 --> 00:14:49.649 and i think he came to that conclusion and then 00:14:49.649 --> 00:14:53.230 that is what set this whole track in motion yeah 00:14:53.230 --> 00:14:57.009 it's a good point the you know the mannerisms 00:14:57.009 --> 00:15:01.149 of emma stone too especially after she gets out 00:15:01.149 --> 00:15:05.250 of that ambulance like unbelievable acting she's 00:15:05.250 --> 00:15:08.309 like moving her leg they probably sped it up 00:15:08.309 --> 00:15:12.019 i don't really know how they shot that but She 00:15:12.019 --> 00:15:15.019 just was, you know, I mentioned how she had these 00:15:15.019 --> 00:15:19.559 like kind of odd, very odd reactions to things 00:15:19.559 --> 00:15:23.080 to make it seem like she was chat GBT just talking 00:15:23.080 --> 00:15:25.820 to somebody almost like she opens her mouth really 00:15:25.820 --> 00:15:29.279 wide and react like gasps at something. And she's 00:15:29.279 --> 00:15:34.340 very she's just so good at playing this on like 00:15:34.340 --> 00:15:38.039 I could not figure out if she is just so corporate 00:15:38.039 --> 00:15:41.500 woman like. I am going to work my way out of 00:15:41.500 --> 00:15:43.500 this any way I can. So I'm going to pretend I'm 00:15:43.500 --> 00:15:45.799 an alien and just feed him anything that he wants 00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:50.360 to hear. But then the look in her eye when she 00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:53.620 is seeing that Jesse Plemons is actually on to 00:15:53.620 --> 00:15:58.379 her and having to just try to survive in this 00:15:58.379 --> 00:16:02.240 situation. But she's almost too calm the whole 00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:04.840 time she's captured. She's not ever really that 00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:09.559 worried until a certain... set of things happens 00:16:09.559 --> 00:16:13.519 but even after she's electrocuted and he shoots 00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:17.419 himself in the head she's still compliant with 00:16:17.419 --> 00:16:21.080 jesse plemmons and takes him to the office and 00:16:21.080 --> 00:16:23.480 has this whole intricate plan because i think 00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:26.500 she just knows that i mean she was right her 00:16:26.500 --> 00:16:30.960 her technology and her people are able to her 00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:34.460 alien comrades are able to you know get have 00:16:34.460 --> 00:16:37.799 her back and Wipe out the human race. And she 00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:41.179 gets whatever she wants out of it. I don't know. 00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:45.220 There's just a lot to unpack here. No 100%. And 00:16:45.220 --> 00:16:50.720 I think it all goes credit to. That. As a viewer 00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:52.720 when you're watching it. And you're battling 00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:55.679 within your own mind. Okay is she an alien? Is 00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:58.919 she not? Is Jesse Plemons correct? Is he just 00:16:58.919 --> 00:17:03.879 a fucking psychopath? All credit to Emma Stone's 00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:08.730 acting. But also. yorgos the director that scene 00:17:08.730 --> 00:17:12.210 in the beginning where they show emma stone's 00:17:12.210 --> 00:17:15.710 character getting ready in the morning very regimented 00:17:15.710 --> 00:17:20.309 but then also at the office right at the beginning 00:17:20.309 --> 00:17:25.130 doing that diversity inclusivity whatever uh 00:17:25.130 --> 00:17:28.950 training thing yes exactly and she's literally 00:17:28.950 --> 00:17:32.450 just like she's so on the money in her speech 00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:36.240 But then she can flip out of that any time. And 00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:40.539 I think that just speaks to how, you know, big 00:17:40.539 --> 00:17:43.480 corporations nowadays, they don't give a fuck 00:17:43.480 --> 00:17:46.079 about the little people. They don't give two 00:17:46.079 --> 00:17:48.779 shits about anyone, right? They just try to save 00:17:48.779 --> 00:17:51.240 face and they know how to talk. They know how 00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:53.980 to bullshit. So throughout this whole movie, 00:17:54.119 --> 00:17:56.779 you can't tell if Emma Stone is tapping into 00:17:56.779 --> 00:17:59.410 that. Or if she's actually afraid for her life. 00:17:59.569 --> 00:18:01.769 Or if she's trying to manipulate the situation 00:18:01.769 --> 00:18:05.829 in her favor so she can get out. Or is she really 00:18:05.829 --> 00:18:09.009 a fucking alien? Who knows? It wasn't for me 00:18:09.009 --> 00:18:14.869 until Jesse Plemons leaves to... I don't know 00:18:14.869 --> 00:18:16.829 why I'm laughing. Jesse Plemons leaves to dump 00:18:16.829 --> 00:18:20.329 antifreeze into his mom's IV and kills her. And 00:18:20.329 --> 00:18:23.069 he comes back and by that time Emma Stone has 00:18:23.069 --> 00:18:27.490 found the secret doorway in his basement. and 00:18:27.490 --> 00:18:30.269 seeing all the people he's killed and the two 00:18:30.269 --> 00:18:34.150 andromedons when he comes back to the house her 00:18:34.150 --> 00:18:38.410 eyes her tone everything shifted for me and in 00:18:38.410 --> 00:18:40.869 that scene i think that's when i really knew 00:18:40.869 --> 00:18:43.849 that she was truly an alien yeah because she 00:18:43.849 --> 00:18:49.009 genuinely seemed i don't even i don't even know 00:18:49.009 --> 00:18:53.690 if the word is scared but just like in awe in 00:18:53.690 --> 00:18:56.069 awe in a good and bad way She couldn't believe 00:18:56.069 --> 00:18:58.769 that Jesse Plemons has gone to the extent to 00:18:58.769 --> 00:19:01.390 figure out if Andromedans were real. She couldn't 00:19:01.390 --> 00:19:03.849 believe that a human had done all these horrific 00:19:03.849 --> 00:19:08.730 things just to figure this out. And, I mean, 00:19:08.750 --> 00:19:11.269 in the end, it was the ultimate reason for her 00:19:11.269 --> 00:19:15.410 ending the human race. Right. I think the natural 00:19:15.410 --> 00:19:18.549 human response to what she saw would have been 00:19:18.549 --> 00:19:20.789 fright or flight. And I get that her ankle was 00:19:20.789 --> 00:19:23.759 all fucked up or her knee. But she's sitting 00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:25.579 there in the basement just waiting for him to 00:19:25.579 --> 00:19:27.779 come back, you know? And she has this time, like, 00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:29.720 he's just biking. I'm assuming it's not that 00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:33.700 far. But, you know, she can... A normal human 00:19:33.700 --> 00:19:36.160 would just try and get out of there and find 00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:40.000 any sort of way to get help. And after she's 00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:41.720 seeing all these bodies, she's not even, like, 00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:44.759 audibly gasping. She's just like, oh, okay. That 00:19:44.759 --> 00:19:46.440 looks like Andromeda. That's what I mean. She's, 00:19:46.440 --> 00:19:50.339 like, in awe of all the research and time he's 00:19:50.339 --> 00:19:54.839 put into. this crazy theory i like she's flipping 00:19:54.839 --> 00:19:57.500 through all the notes and the pictures and whatnot 00:19:57.500 --> 00:20:00.559 it's like she couldn't believe her eyes yeah 00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:02.579 she couldn't believe that in an inferior race 00:20:02.579 --> 00:20:06.150 was able to comprehend all of this and another 00:20:06.150 --> 00:20:09.109 neat thing too is there's only one portion of 00:20:09.109 --> 00:20:11.990 time where she actually goes at jesse plemmons 00:20:11.990 --> 00:20:15.210 for things that a high -powered ceo would do 00:20:15.210 --> 00:20:17.849 to another human to like try and belittle them 00:20:17.849 --> 00:20:20.190 and shit she she calls them like a loser or whatever 00:20:20.190 --> 00:20:22.029 when they're fighting like she's like i'm the 00:20:22.029 --> 00:20:24.289 winner like i'm gonna kill you or whatever but 00:20:24.289 --> 00:20:26.869 she only says that like one time and i think 00:20:26.869 --> 00:20:29.210 the natural human she calls him an echo chamber 00:20:29.829 --> 00:20:33.089 yeah the natural human response initially would 00:20:33.089 --> 00:20:35.630 just be like we're like let me fucking out of 00:20:35.630 --> 00:20:40.069 here and she says that but in an in an alien 00:20:40.069 --> 00:20:42.829 et type of way she's like this is how things 00:20:42.829 --> 00:20:46.009 are going to process all this this and that and 00:20:46.009 --> 00:20:48.569 i chopped it up as yeah i guess she's a corporate 00:20:48.569 --> 00:20:50.190 woman but like i said i just thought she was 00:20:50.190 --> 00:20:52.710 an alien from the beginning because partially 00:20:52.710 --> 00:20:54.109 because you said it was such a good movie so 00:20:54.109 --> 00:20:56.450 i was like this has to be going somewhere and 00:20:56.450 --> 00:21:00.380 we also had the You know, let's get into cinematography 00:21:00.380 --> 00:21:02.480 here. But actually, the one last thing I want 00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:04.559 to say is I think Emma Stone is the greatest 00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:07.980 actress of this generation. I don't think... 00:21:07.980 --> 00:21:11.099 I'd say maybe Emily Blunt. Emily Blunt's great. 00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:13.720 She comes to mind. Meryl Streep, I'm not counting 00:21:13.720 --> 00:21:18.200 her. Emma Stone is so good at acting. You could 00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:22.259 not... The only other... Who else could have 00:21:22.259 --> 00:21:25.339 played that specific role and made this movie 00:21:25.339 --> 00:21:32.210 what it was? Bella Ramsey. Yeah. You know what 00:21:32.210 --> 00:21:35.809 I mean though? I think those dynamics. I agree 00:21:35.809 --> 00:21:39.390 100%. Jesse Plemons too was phenomenal. Such 00:21:39.390 --> 00:21:43.150 a good actor too. Very good. I think the light 00:21:43.150 --> 00:21:46.569 should be on Emma Stone as well. Just because 00:21:46.569 --> 00:21:49.250 she's the biggest name in this movie obviously. 00:21:49.650 --> 00:21:52.410 But Jesse Plemons too. I mean I was rooting for 00:21:52.410 --> 00:21:55.569 him at times. Like when he kills his mom by accident. 00:21:55.750 --> 00:21:59.359 I felt bad for the guy. And he was doing. horrible 00:21:59.359 --> 00:22:02.019 atrocities the whole time but you're trying you 00:22:02.019 --> 00:22:05.220 can empathize a ton with him it's probably just 00:22:05.220 --> 00:22:08.799 because he's a human you know he doesn't he doesn't 00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:12.200 really want he all he wants is to protect the 00:22:12.200 --> 00:22:14.880 human race that that's like his actual goal he 00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:19.460 has terrible methods and he's not the the smartest 00:22:19.460 --> 00:22:22.339 guy really he just figured something out and 00:22:22.339 --> 00:22:25.220 he was so stubborn on this method which is such 00:22:25.220 --> 00:22:28.140 a human trait that it ended up killing him and 00:22:28.700 --> 00:22:30.920 I think that was just a really realistic way 00:22:30.920 --> 00:22:35.000 to write that. No, 100%. And I think that's what's 00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:37.559 so great about the movie. You're bouncing back 00:22:37.559 --> 00:22:42.559 and forth between the two evils almost.

Like, he's just got the worst 00:24:12.420 --> 00:24:14.789 life ever. It kind of reminded me a little bit 00:24:14.789 --> 00:24:17.289 of True Detective Season 1 when they go to Earl 00:24:17.289 --> 00:24:19.289 Childress' house at the end. There was a lot 00:24:19.289 --> 00:24:22.829 of inklings of that. They're very accustomed 00:24:22.829 --> 00:24:26.769 to the land. They're beekeeping. He has a couple 00:24:26.769 --> 00:24:30.789 odd jobs here and there. And I think they just 00:24:30.789 --> 00:24:34.509 took a lot of time making the setting. I honestly 00:24:34.509 --> 00:24:37.029 think the first thing they had to do was... figure 00:24:37.029 --> 00:24:38.910 out what jesse's character was going to look 00:24:38.910 --> 00:24:41.569 like and they nailed that right on the head those 00:24:41.569 --> 00:24:44.269 two characters just drive the movie her him and 00:24:44.269 --> 00:24:48.230 emma stone's character yeah it's it's 1a 1b yeah 00:24:48.230 --> 00:24:51.829 um let's do cinematography because that was fantastic 00:24:51.829 --> 00:24:56.869 too loved it i mean it's shot kind of like it 00:24:56.869 --> 00:24:59.430 kind of was shot like weapons a lot to me a lot 00:24:59.430 --> 00:25:03.049 of these we had some of these like zoomed in 00:25:03.049 --> 00:25:06.190 2d angles like when he's killing stavros that 00:25:06.190 --> 00:25:09.150 shit was straight out of weapons to me or any 00:25:09.150 --> 00:25:12.150 any sort of these like neon blumhouse uh horror 00:25:12.150 --> 00:25:17.109 movies where it's very quick camera shots it's 00:25:17.109 --> 00:25:20.329 like extremely vibrant colors mixed with like 00:25:20.329 --> 00:25:22.930 this vast landscape kind of that scene kind of 00:25:22.930 --> 00:25:24.690 reminded me of like midsummer a little bit i 00:25:24.690 --> 00:25:26.750 don't know if you got that same connection just 00:25:26.750 --> 00:25:31.579 just gross gore and over the top crazy shit going 00:25:31.579 --> 00:25:34.799 on um when he climbs across the table that was 00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:38.460 shot so well so fucking well it was like what 00:25:38.460 --> 00:25:40.079 is going to happen we're not even going to show 00:25:40.079 --> 00:25:43.059 you emma stone's face until he's attacking her 00:25:43.059 --> 00:25:47.740 yeah um i mean the just the color scheme in general 00:25:47.740 --> 00:25:50.839 i also loved the tie -in with the bees i think 00:25:50.839 --> 00:25:54.180 that was very cool how they wrote that in in 00:25:54.180 --> 00:25:56.759 the beginning they so they do stuff like this 00:25:56.759 --> 00:25:58.920 all the time and it doesn't always connect that 00:25:58.920 --> 00:26:01.750 well So the term begonia, I had to look this 00:26:01.750 --> 00:26:07.210 up. It refers back to Greek mythology where there's 00:26:07.210 --> 00:26:13.890 this belief that if you sacrifice an ox without 00:26:13.890 --> 00:26:21.269 shedding blood and it dies, then bees will basically 00:26:21.269 --> 00:26:25.609 spawn in its body and then be released. So basically 00:26:25.609 --> 00:26:28.869 like the sacrifice. of this animal to birth new 00:26:28.869 --> 00:26:33.410 life and i think jesse's the sacrifice i mean 00:26:33.410 --> 00:26:38.509 i think it i think that term really relates back 00:26:38.509 --> 00:26:41.809 to this whole idea of the andromedans coming 00:26:41.809 --> 00:26:45.029 to earth right and she mentions they accidentally 00:26:45.029 --> 00:26:50.950 kill off the the native race the dinosaurs at 00:26:50.950 --> 00:26:54.779 the time due to the diseases they brought and 00:26:54.779 --> 00:26:57.400 because they felt so guilty, that's why they 00:26:57.400 --> 00:27:00.559 created the human race. And they tried to guide 00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:02.779 it and help them make the right decisions, but 00:27:02.779 --> 00:27:05.099 ultimately they couldn't. So I think in that 00:27:05.099 --> 00:27:08.480 sense, that was their begonia, right? They accidentally 00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:11.880 sacrificed the dinosaurs, but we will create 00:27:11.880 --> 00:27:15.980 this new race, and it'll be even better. I think 00:27:15.980 --> 00:27:18.700 the problem is they ended up realizing that... 00:27:18.700 --> 00:27:23.019 Humans are not easy. no humans fucking suck yeah 00:27:23.019 --> 00:27:25.099 humans are not easy to govern they i mean they 00:27:25.099 --> 00:27:28.099 say it too you guys have all this data on things 00:27:28.099 --> 00:27:31.599 that kill you and you continue to you know you 00:27:31.599 --> 00:27:33.720 double down on it you just do them yeah double 00:27:33.720 --> 00:27:36.799 it and pass it to the next person but but also 00:27:36.799 --> 00:27:39.420 like That kind of fired me up too. I'm like, 00:27:39.579 --> 00:27:43.000 fuck these people. Or these Andromedans. Get 00:27:43.000 --> 00:27:46.720 them out of my world. I also love the costume 00:27:46.720 --> 00:27:49.240 design. They intentionally just make Emma Stone 00:27:49.240 --> 00:27:51.559 look like a fucking alien when they shave her 00:27:51.559 --> 00:27:55.940 head. And they show her with this lathered up 00:27:55.940 --> 00:27:58.819 cream on her. Yeah, the ointment they rub on 00:27:58.819 --> 00:28:02.579 her.

Definitely 00:34:15.590 --> 00:34:18.670 go watch Begonia. Right when I saw this movie, 00:34:18.769 --> 00:34:22.000 it reminded me of... It reminded me of two movies. 00:34:22.099 --> 00:34:25.059 Right when I saw the trailer of Begonia, it reminded 00:34:25.059 --> 00:34:27.739 me of two movies. One was 10 Cloverfield Lane. 00:34:28.719 --> 00:34:32.099 Just that idea of... Very good comparison, yeah. 00:34:32.400 --> 00:34:35.280 Just the idea of that girl being dragged down 00:34:35.280 --> 00:34:37.400 into the bunker. John Goodman's character's like, 00:34:37.500 --> 00:34:40.800 look, I saved you. The Ruskies are taking over 00:34:40.800 --> 00:34:43.139 up there, all right? Like, you're safe down here. 00:34:43.320 --> 00:34:46.780 And the rest of the movie is her like, wait, 00:34:46.880 --> 00:34:49.590 is he just... trapping me in his bunker is he 00:34:49.590 --> 00:34:52.090 gonna do something or like what the fuck is actually 00:34:52.090 --> 00:34:54.409 going on up there and then eventually you realize 00:34:54.409 --> 00:34:58.349 aliens took over another movie that this reminded 00:34:58.349 --> 00:35:01.530 me of was m night shamalan's a knock at the cabin 00:35:01.530 --> 00:35:06.590 i haven't seen that that's new though right that's 00:35:06.590 --> 00:35:09.050 it's a it's a little bit yeah it's a little bit 00:35:09.050 --> 00:35:13.409 newer and it's got that same idea where dave 00:35:13.409 --> 00:35:18.699 batista and his group of characters are approaching 00:35:18.699 --> 00:35:21.619 this couple and their child and it's like look 00:35:21.619 --> 00:35:27.219 we need to sacrifice one of y 'all to save the 00:35:27.219 --> 00:35:33.900 human race and unfortunately in that movie there's 00:35:33.900 --> 00:35:38.860 no the ending just kind of muffles everything 00:35:38.860 --> 00:35:41.800 else that happens prior it's kind of like a shitty 00:35:41.800 --> 00:35:43.980 ending you don't get any sense of gratification 00:35:43.980 --> 00:35:47.739 at the end of it this movie though i don't know 00:35:47.739 --> 00:35:50.059 i just loved it from the very start to the very 00:35:50.059 --> 00:35:53.039 end yeah even though even though the ending is 00:35:53.039 --> 00:35:56.019 the human race being annihilated right but it 00:35:56.019 --> 00:35:58.719 has like a light touch to it it's more of an 00:35:58.719 --> 00:36:03.119 informative this maybe could happen i mean there's 00:36:03.119 --> 00:36:05.019 definitely i think there's aliens out there i 00:36:05.019 --> 00:36:09.699 mean there has to be um and they also tied in 00:36:09.699 --> 00:36:11.760 the b reference from the very beginning to the 00:36:11.760 --> 00:36:14.139 very end the one line too that i still remember 00:36:14.139 --> 00:36:16.300 i don't even write this down it might be it might 00:36:16.300 --> 00:36:19.530 not be completely verbatim, but the first couple 00:36:19.530 --> 00:36:21.489 of sentences that Jesse Plemons says when the 00:36:21.489 --> 00:36:24.510 movie starts, he's like, bees, you know, they 00:36:24.510 --> 00:36:26.889 collect pollen and then they plant their seed 00:36:26.889 --> 00:36:30.329 in a different part of a new flower. He's like, 00:36:30.409 --> 00:36:33.150 it's basically like sex, but no one gets hurt. 00:36:33.329 --> 00:36:36.829 And I loved that line because even he realizes 00:36:36.829 --> 00:36:39.210 that humans, they definitely have their flaws, 00:36:39.349 --> 00:36:43.920 but he's still representing human. Like, he is 00:36:43.920 --> 00:36:48.219 trying to kill aliens in his fucking basement. 00:36:48.480 --> 00:36:52.059 Dude, this movie had... quite a lot of humor 00:36:52.059 --> 00:36:55.780 in it that was like surprising that scene where 00:36:55.780 --> 00:36:57.880 they finally capture her bring her down to the 00:36:57.880 --> 00:37:01.539 basement it it just pans upstairs and it's just 00:37:01.539 --> 00:37:04.639 donnie and jesse or john donnie and jesse plevin's 00:37:04.639 --> 00:37:06.619 characters holding each other just bouncing up 00:37:06.619 --> 00:37:09.000 and down yeah i made a lot of weird gestures 00:37:09.000 --> 00:37:14.800 yeah no that was weird i mean a lot of unsettling 00:37:15.420 --> 00:37:18.139 um not actually not that many unsettling parts 00:37:18.139 --> 00:37:20.980 there's a couple weird gory things that happen 00:37:20.980 --> 00:37:24.760 but just a lot of a lot of good things the human 00:37:24.760 --> 00:37:28.579 race being exterminated was unsettling but yeah 00:37:28.579 --> 00:37:32.300 that wasn't too great but they i will say there 00:37:32.300 --> 00:37:34.679 was another i mean just some of the lines that 00:37:34.679 --> 00:37:36.380 they wrote in this and then the delivery of the 00:37:36.380 --> 00:37:39.380 lines were so great there was one towards the 00:37:39.380 --> 00:37:42.320 start of the movie or right when they capture 00:37:42.320 --> 00:37:46.719 emma stone And they're observing her in the basement. 00:37:47.179 --> 00:37:50.400 And he's talking to Donnie and he's just like, 00:37:50.480 --> 00:37:54.159 I can't remember exactly what he says, but it's 00:37:54.159 --> 00:37:58.179 along the lines of, I've never seen one this 00:37:58.179 --> 00:38:01.940 good. Something along the lines. And right then 00:38:01.940 --> 00:38:04.260 it clicked. I was like, oh, he's done this before. 00:38:04.679 --> 00:38:07.239 He's fucking kidnapped people and tortured people 00:38:07.239 --> 00:38:11.619 and probably killed handfuls of people to get 00:38:11.619 --> 00:38:15.800 to this point. And I just thought, like, I mean, 00:38:15.800 --> 00:38:18.159 again, all credits to Jesse Plemons, all credits 00:38:18.159 --> 00:38:20.920 to Emma Stone. This movie just fucking knocked 00:38:20.920 --> 00:38:23.719 it out the park for me. Yeah, yeah. I honestly 00:38:23.719 --> 00:38:25.219 thought we were going to have a scene, too, where 00:38:25.219 --> 00:38:28.420 Jesse Plemons gets cleaned up for once and takes 00:38:28.420 --> 00:38:31.059 a shower, and he just never does. Like, he's 00:38:31.059 --> 00:38:33.980 biking with blood all over him. You know that 00:38:33.980 --> 00:38:35.920 house smelled like shit. Even when they were 00:38:35.920 --> 00:38:38.059 recording it, it probably smelled like shit. 00:38:38.539 --> 00:38:41.440 Yeah, no. I don't even think he knows what a 00:38:41.440 --> 00:38:45.760 shower is anymore. All right. Let's do the scores 00:38:45.760 --> 00:38:49.679 here. Wrap this up. I went entertainment.
