Octopusssy:
Nah. You didn't understand the movie if you think this way. You're right that is a satire: a satire about class struggle. The rich and influential are shipwrecked with the very dregs of the social hierarchy which is represented metaphorically represented by the position they occupy on the luxury yacht. Now, when everything goes south, power falls into the hands of hoi polloi, who now takes charge of food distribution. Food is life, so now their lives are in the hands of the lowly person because these rich people are completely devoid of any kind of survival skill.

Just how far can people go to retain power? That's what the end seems to be asking, although it is open to interpretation.

I absolutely loved the movie
Maybe he missed the whole point of the movie. Every scene of triangle of sadness is an artistic satire and a genuine masterpiece of storytelling. Just the scene in the restaurant where they were arguing about who to pay was masterfully edited and i had to watch that scene thrice

Keanu did say he would keep on playing JW if this 4th movie is successful but I understood the ending as setting up a spin off movie. Anyways, I’m always up for more John Wick actions.
But guy, can they actually top thishuh If they can it will be insane

Just watched Her (2013)
And the movie is just actually hilarious and tear dropping at the same time
Very cringe in some scenes but an amazing film nonetheless

I have no problem if you think different. For me, movies quality were probably better in the 90s and 2000s. But for TV shows I don't think so.

How many 90s to 2000s TV shows I can think of that can match GOT, Vikings, Homeland etc.
I can only think of The Wire and The Sopranos.

How many can you recall?
Game of Thrones
Breaking Bad
Lost
Malcolm in the Middle
Arrested Development
Mad Men
The Office
24
Dexter
Family Guy
Still a lot I can't process sha
The Movies are also amazing

While I agree it seems the quality of films this decade have somewhat dropped I feel the 2010s still had one of the best filmography of all time.

I mean, half my best all time films are from the 2010s. 👇👇
Shawshank Redemption
The Dark Knight
Silence of The Lambs
LOTR trilogy
The Hobbit: The Battle of The Five Armies
Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows pt 1&2
Se7en
Pulp Fiction
Django Unchained
Joker
Parasite
The Harder They Fall
The Irishman
The Last Duel

I feel the main issue is movies from this decade — the 2020s.

But the irony of it is in my opinion when it comes to TV shows, the opposite is the case. I feel TV shows coming out in the late 2010s and this era are the best era of all time for TV shows.

I don't think TV shows of the 90s and 2000s can match the all-round quality of the 2010s.
2010s to me is the UNDISPUTED GOAT in terms of TV entertainment quality of all time.
I mean that decade gave us....


Game of Thrones
Breaking Bad
Homeland
Watchmen
Succession
Euphoria
True Blood
Better Call Saul
Chernobyl
The Crown
The Handmaid Tale
Orange is the New Black
Barry

I don't even want to start a roll call for the 2020s that just started:

Lovecraft Country
The White Lotus
House of The Dragon
Ted Lasso
The Gilded Age
Midnight Mass
Squid Game
Arcane
I still believe the 2010s were not in par with 90s and 00s tho best movies of all times came at those times

PoliticsBiography Of Gbadebo Rhodes Vivour Labor Party Lagos Governorship Candidate by Illusioneffect(op): 5:59pm On Mar 04, 2023
Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour was born on Lagos Island. He grew up in Ikeja.

He attended Chrisland primary and secondary schools up to JSS3, and then proceeded to Paris to attend Ecol Artive Berlin, where he completed his secondary education.[6] He has a bachelor degree in Architecture from University of Nottingham and a master degree in the same field from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).[5] He partook in the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in 2008 after his first masters and completed it in 2009.[7] He later attained a second master degree in Research and Public Policy; from the University of Lagos (UNILAG).[8]

Rhodes-Vivour is from a family of lawyers. He is the son of Barrister Olawale and Mrs Nkechi Rhodes-Vivour. Former justice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria and jurist, Bode Rhodes-Vivour is his uncle,[9] while late Judge Akinwunmi Rhodes-Vivour is his grandfather. He is the great-grand son to Steven Bankole Rhodes; the second ever indigenous judge appointed in Nigeria.

Activism
Rhodes-Vivour is the convener of the civil society group, Nigerians Against GMO, an Anti-GMO advocacy group fighting against the proliferation of Genetically Modified Foods in Nigeria. Their protest increased in 2016, following claims by Monsanto that GMOs are safe, tackling the Nigerian Minister of Agriculture, Akinwumi Adesina, as well as the multinational company.[10][11]

In 2017, he alongside Nnimmo Bassey, led a 2,000-man march to the Senate to lend a voice in the fight against environmental degradation. He also campaigns for the inclusion of history as a subject in Nigerian school curriculum.[12][13]

In 2022, Rhodes-Vivour collaborated with WellaHealth to provide free health checks and insurance for 1 million people in Lagos who have their Voter's card, in commemoration of World Malaria Day and to encourage people to get their Voter's card to enable them vote in upcoming elections.

Career
He worked with Franklin Ellis Architects when he was in the UK. On returning to Nigeria, he worked with SISA, Cliff Consulting now called Building Partnership CCP and Patrick Wayi, before venturing fully into politics.[6][16]

Political career
He was one of the first beneficiaries of the Not Too Young To Run legislation.[8] In 2017, Rhodes-Vivour contested the Ikeja Local Government Area chairmanship under the KOWA party.[17] Citing that the absence of godfatherism in the party made him contest under the platform. He lost to the candidate of the incumbent APC.

In 2019, he contested for the senate seat to represent Lagos west under the PDP.[19] His campaign points were to revamp the infrastructure within the district and well as to get out the incumbent who he term as an "absentee senator spending more resources pursuing a futile governorship bid in Ogun State, rather than focus on Lagos West that have already given him their mandate".[20] He came second in the final polls, losing to the incumbent senator and contestant under the erstwhile ruling party APC, Adeola 'Yayi' Olamilekanola, by 243,516 votes to Adeola’s 323,817. Adeola received 41.38% of the votes, while Rhodes-Vivour received 39.40%.[21] He contested the result in court, citing electoral violence and disruptions as reasons why the result should not be valid. However, the court deemed that not to be enough and upheld the election of his opponent.

He is the Labour party gubernatorial candidate for the upcoming 2023 Lagos State gubernatorial election. He was initially one of the nominees gearing up to contest under the PDP, but pulled out just before the primary election was held. [24] He cross carpeted to the Labour party, contesting during substitute election through which the substantive candidate of the party was to be chosen, and came out victorious, getting 111 votes, to defeat former All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain Moshood Salvador, who got 102 votes.

Personal life
He is married to Dr. Ify Rhodes-Vivour (née Aniebo), a molecular geneticist by profession[8] who is the daughter of former military administrator to Kogi and Borno states, Augustine Aniebo.[27]
