  • @PuissantPeacock
    @PuissantPeacock Pƙed rokem +28

    My thoughts on "Crimes" is more of a deep-dive into the metaphorical meanings within Cronenberg's on-the-nose, satirical (albeit horrific) and sometimes humorous view of modern-day technology (ex: eating chair, sleeping bed, autopsy bed), exhibitionism and voyeurism (ex: Saul, Caprice, Timlin, two women with drills), pop culture (ex: Klinik/Ear Man, others), celebrity status (Saul and Caprice), and ultimately the "plastic" society that we have become (ex: plastic eaters, non-plastic eaters, and those "evolving" into eating plastic). There are also the "policing agencies" (Cope, Wippet, Timlin) that try to regulate and/or terminate humanities permanent decline into a meaningless existence of seeking out ever-greater, "shocking" sensualities (ex: government's attempts to regulate social media and the moral decline of society).
    The story clearly identifies "plastic" as the synthetic, cheap, easily consumed and digested content in social media (I think of "Barbie Girl" by Aqua, Madonna's "Material Girl"). Each of the main characters is participating in the so-called "art" in some way with a brief glimpse of a "normal person" who dies from eating "plastic".
    The boy Brecken, from the outset, has already "evolved" into a full plastic eater. The mother, representing parents of young "social media artists" today, smothers him. This represents the consequences of parents allowing their children to consume and produce cheap, easy to consume exhibitionism eventually leading them to be killed by it (ex: kids being killed by their stalkers, older men being fans of young girls) as if the parent was the actual murderer.
    Through the entire story, the main character Saul resists "evolving" into a plastic eater (ex: "tumor-like organs" that grow inside him = the cancers of society) using alien-looking tech just to eat and sleep (Ex: cpap, hospital surgical devices, feeding tubes, mechanised beds etc). Finally, after just giving in to "evolving" into a plastic eater does he find complete contentment and peace. However, never does he realize that his "painless" exhibitionism is the very cause of his morphing into a plastic eater; he's now desensitised to it all.
    Along the way, we also meet two woman voyeurists who drill holes into people's heads representing the mindless, intellegence draining people of CZcams Channels and pornography; they create content that displays to everyone their so-called "inner beauty" but is secretely "horrific" for us to watch, and we can't turn our eyes away (ex: Adrienne, Ear Man, zipper device, etc.). In addition, Ear Man (Klinik) demonstrates how even the hippocritical Producer of his "Art" (ex: the music and entertainment industry) can be the very one who exploits the financial successes but joins the "popular" view of hating it (ex: anonymous likes, dislikes, etc.).
    There are many more metaphorical references throughout the story and Cronenberg uses the genre as a warning of the future "horrors" of becoming "Plastic Eaters". Cronenberg asks us If we are disgusted by what we are watching and thus why are we not disgusted by what we "consume" in today's media? He suggests that if we are not disgusted by what we're watching, we're already a plastic eater. Indeed, ultimately society will become senseless, meaningless, painless, completely devoid of the characteristics that make us human if we don't stop eating plastic both metaphorically (ex: social media, empty entertainment, exhibitionism, voyeurism, pop culture, celebrity status, etc.) and physically (ex: oceans being full of plastic: fish eat it, we eat the fish). Neither has any nutritional value and can kill us metaphorically, physically, spiritually, and socially.

      @@justinamenta7241 its an excellent film. Films dont have to tell a story, and thats where the reviewers lost the point. Crimes of the Future builds on concepts explored in earlier works and is an excellent amalgalm of Crash, Naked Lunch, and Dead Ringers. Crimes is not meant to be a usual movie subject to usual formulas and critique. It explores concepts and these reviewer bros just wanted to sit back and be passively entertained. These are the same kind of simplton critics that played Dark Souls early on and said "there's no story" or "its sitting in the background" and called it a bad game when it was a fuckin masterpeice that didn't hold your hand.

    I started to really like the movie when they started delving more into the logic and the cause and their reasons. We never got to see the consequences of the New Vice or reasons for the murder (since it wasn't new vice), I feel like they focused on something else for this movie when there was good stuff that they chose to not delve into it.
    EDIT: If you think that there were no character development, you didn't watch it.
    EDITÂČ: The main character was constantly choking I feel like, because the movie was implying that he was producing new organs for his digestive system since there was a scene where he explicitly says that he is like that NOT because of his allergies and keeps going like that throughout the whole movie and the implications of that combined with the final scene is that, consuming 'plastic' IS humanity's natural course since he didn't have organs implanted.

      Literally, yes. Metaphorically, The "Plastic" is like an Orwellian, Big-Brotheresque, propaganda driven future that one will need to learn to accept. This entire movie is a metaphor for where our society is heading. He also wrote it before social media, and it's only reinforced by current day BS online nonsense.

      The issue is that Cronenberg has actually made some interesting movies in the past. It sounds like the problem here is that the movie was put together poorly and couldn't properly get the story across. Hence, Alex wondering if the problems came from the editing rather than direction.
      Without a plot to grab onto, viewer engagement takes a dive and the movie just becomes disturbing imagery for the sake of shock value, without any emotional context.

    I think they missed the point of the movie (that's fine). I found the ending totally satisfying. The question of the movie was "what is humanity" (imo) At what point are we not/are humans? And it made sense there is acceptance and rejection in this decision. Besides how gorgeous the movie is... and the music, it all fit. It kept everything just above depressed in terms of all elements. The only time you see the sun is the opening scene but the movie was not "dark". Loved it. Also the discomfort of the actors was great (body language).

    I liked it, it’s reminded me of the body horror movies in the 80s. I think it’ll be one of those movies that people will come back to in 10-15 years and enjoy it but if not that’s fine too. The story is interesting and without spoiling it for others it left me wanting to know more about the world and how wide spread it was so I think it could have had stronger potential as a series or a tv show. Glad Cronenberg is back and I hope we get more from him.

      Cronenberg has been doing this for a while, Cosmopolis and Maps to the Stars are stories about the people who are distanced from the "real" world. Until the protagonists realize what is going on outside of their bubble, their rapture doesn't come and they are ignorant. I really liked that in this case he chose the world of artists, which is a good vehicle to define what is a revolutionary act or not. It is also a world Cronenberg is familiar with and hangs around.
