Eddington (Ari Aster, July 18, 2025) • Page 10

I think it'll age well. If things get better in 30 years, it'll be seen as a unique window into a very chaotic time in history and it'll be fascinating. If things get worse, it'll be seen as the tipping point and it'll be frightening. Either way, what it says about 2020 will always be accurate for anyone who cares about history.

 

Saw it today and I liked it but this is pretty much what I feel. Like elements of it are clearly satire but idk what the message of the film overall is. Maybe that’s on me for assuming a movie set early in the pandemic would have one. Ari Aster sure knows how to paint a bleak picture, though

 

Messages to me were tech always wins, phones are weapons, and COVID is when we cut the final strands holding together whatever shared sense of reality we had left at that point.
