The movie was painful to watch. I suppose the ending was meant to be provocative but felt empty to me.
Agreed. I’d skip this movie.
It doesn’t come out against group think so much as it’s an allegory against the “always on” world and 24/7 social media. The Circle employees are all just sheep that go along with it because they’re just blindly following the hip leader. I think that’s why the movie bombed because leftists like to think they’d rebel given such obvious shenanigans going on and they’d fight to stop it. (Or so they’d think)
The ending was silly and nonsensical and, where you could’ve made a very poignant statement about technology abuses and flawed humans and ideological leadership fornutopian goals and police states - that’s also where Hanks and the leftists don’t want to go. Because that’s what inevitably happens.
Oh no...a flaming liberal demoncrap throws a rock in the lib house...
