Death to 2020, a few thoughts

Brice 2022-12-20 20:00:10

There is a new "documentary" on Netflix, Death to 2020. What the Black Mirror team did basically recap the major events that happened in the 2020 (British and American) world, pinching a few fairly representative fictional characters to make brief comments. Hugh Grant played a (pseudo) history professor in it. Strangely, his aging appearance here is not good at all, but I feel a bit of his charm strangely. The Pheobe actor played a role similar to the (former) White House spokesperson, with a very distinctive way of speaking.

Because I am in it, no matter how absurd the plot is, I know that it is not groundless. Ten years later, when people look at it, they don't know what they think.

The short, thrilling 2020 is actually not enough for a full-length movie. It's worth seeing.

Death to 2020 quotes

  • Jeanetta Grace Susan: The whole impeachment thing was baseless. So, the Democrats claim that Trump pressured Ukraine into digging up dirt on the Biden family, and their only real "evidence" of that is a transcript of him doing it.

    Director: So what did he say on the transcript?

    Jeanetta Grace Susan: What transcript?

    Director: You just mentioned a transcript.

    Jeanetta Grace Susan: Check your tape, I said no such thing.

  • Dash Bracket: [Referencing the Bernie/Biden candidacy election] This was a choice between two guys in their late seventies. It was like being stuck on the character selection screen in geriatric Tekken.
