"I don't get my news from the news."
~Teddy (Jesse Plemons)
I have decided to ease back on all the movies I tend to watch over and over because the ease me into a state of anticipated bliss, in other words, my happy place. I am committing, like a New Year's resolution, to watch at least one movie a week that I have never seen. I decided to begin with, Bugonia. It's from 2025, and that's a good thing, because I usually immerse myself in movies from past eras, where I feel safe. Climbing into this movie, did not make me feel safe, and ooh boy, that was a good thing.
There is so much to unpack in this film. Conspiracy theories, corporate greed, isolationism, environmental issues, and yes, whether or not there are alien overlords watching over us, but not necessarily in our best interests. Many different sides, opinions and perspectives will converge, so hold onto your hats, as it's quite a ride. If you are like me, you will change your mind about the issues and psychological mind bending as you take it all in. Critical thinking. In the end, you will feel... well... better about the lessons learned, because it's makes you consider where you stand. After yesterday, or the day before, will you see things differently?
Watch it! Considering the mind bending times we are living in, where are we, how did we get here, and is there a way out, or are we too confused to really pay attention to all the signs that say... watch and listen and take a stand!
Tinfoil hats not required!
Visit IMBD for the trailer's.
