Frankly speaking, this film, which is adapted from the novel of the same name by an American postmodern writer, is full of a strong experimental flavor. The whole look and feel is obviously different from that of a film with a traditional concept, and it is more like a one-act play on the stage. A monotonous dialogue scene is set up in a small space, but the topics discussed are mixed with themes of the financial industry, and sophisticated technical terms are pouring out.
I can only feel with emotion that not all novels are suitable for adaptation into movies. Of course, this is not to deny Cronenberg's script, but to say that adapting such an extremely literary work into a movie takes unpredictable risks. It is worth mentioning that there are also actors and stars who have appeared in an endless stream. Unfortunately, most of them only play for about 10 minutes, which is completely unresolved. When I saw the star-studded lineup in the trailer, I thought that there would be many wonderful acting duels. the scene!
Nothing now. All that's left is a young actor juggling people in a luxury RV, talking about the financial crisis, and the fortunes he lost in a day. Hmm... that's right! There's also a well-worn theme: the global financial crisis. I don't think many viewers want to go to the cinema to find out about this!
