A Beautiful Mind
This movie is sheer madness, maybe in more ways than one. Many compare it to David Lynch's Mulholland Drive, a movie I have thankfully forgotten. However, it is not woke.
There are mysteries. I sort of understood what was going on, but according to some reviewers it goes deep, really deep. You would have to watch the movie multiple times, consult the Internet, solve some cyphers, and reference obscure films and popular songs. From there you would divine clues so shaky that you would fear they are just figments of your imagination. Your reward would be to go nearly as insane as the character whom you are trying to understand. If this is true, then wow, what a meta mind-fuck.

The movie promises to offend both the wokes and conservatives. The main character is a weed-head slacker who mistreats women, and the women mostly act like thots, no, wait, worse, as literal prostitutes. One IMDB reviewer noted that none of the women wear pants. Heh, not something I would notice, but yeah, I think they either wear nothing at all, bikinis, or else skirts.
The main character travels to many locations in LA. In addition to some of the well known locations, I think I may have been in the mountaintop modern mansion they showed that overlooks LA.
The bottom line is that for the casual viewer this film is just weird and not enjoyable. However, there is more here than first meets the eye.
