Hundreds of Beavers (2022)
Many movies in one
I enjoyed this movie. It seems to combine many movies into one.
As I sat watching in a NYC theater with pizza and fast food places all around, where even the homeless are well-fed, the irony of this movie's message about difficulties of getting food resources really hit. Then it transitioned into a movie about capitalism, building an empire and competition. Then it finally mutated into a commentary on the consequences of everything before.
My only criticism was that for such a surreal film, the message was a bit too obvious and made me miss the ambiguity of films like Eraserhead by David Lynch. I enjoyed the first and last parts more than "the middle part". Also enjoyed the "old cartoon" style of Popeye or early Betty Boop cartoons, combined with references to Minecraft. I will have to research what a "trapline" is, it wasn't clearly explained.
