[sjankis630]

Did everyone think at the ending...

Spoiler

That Lakeith had actually taken the serum and not cocaine at the party and actually changed into one of the horse people?

Spoiler

I forget if it was a mid credit scene or right at the end, but they showed him transformed

Just saw this and at that twist. I really didn't see that coming. Boots must of been high as shyt when he came up with that.


Film tonally was all over the place but I didn't care, seems like Boots was going all in on the satire. Was hoping for more bay area cameos though.

Can't wait to buy this on blu-ray.


EDIT: I thought one thing was really stupid though:

Spoiler

100 million though? Dunno if it was intended to be satirical. Bro really trying to finesse.

 

[the kid]

Not pleased about the movie. Thought the first hour was dope. Then it lost direction.

Spoiler: Spoiler

How flippant they were with race didn't sit well with me. There was no payoff for the freestyle scene, so it should not have been in the movie at all. The racial aspect of the movie disappeared after that scene. I agree with others who mentioned that the movie turning into a labor propaganda piece.

Spoiler

There was a racial element there, most definitely. But the message to me seemed more about the belief that capitalism was a form of modern day slavery with WorryFree being a caricature of it and the fact that the people were turned into literal work horses. The dehumanization aspect reflected the belief that the working class becomes dehumanized when we're just cogs in the wheel of a capitalist society. The union vs Scab conflict, the illusion of advancement with the Power Callers in Regal View all played into that. Again, it was heavy handed but implying that Boots was on some c00n shyt and reinforcing a white supremacist belief about black folks is very unfair imo. Didn't get that vibe at all.

Chattel slavery itself was fueled by capitalism. Plus, I wasn't implying Boots was on some c00n shyt. I saying what he was doing for jokes sake was very irresponsible.

I'm just getting home from watching this...... HOLY shyt.

My chick looking at me like "WTF did we just watch"

I was not expecting any of the fukkery that took place at that party and for the rest of the movie

Hell of a movie though

This shyt to me was like a TWISTED ass Bamboozled.... the movie Spike Lee did 18 years ago

[Mr Rager]

Srill digesting it.
I liked the first 45 minutes or so...then it started to become a chore to watch. The off-beat vibe hooked me. The execution of the plot lost me.

 

[A-Train]

I think Boots is a talented writer but as a director he needs some more reps.

After seeing it, I’m surprised this got the amount of marketing and distribution that it did

 

[Flex Grossman]

Spoiler

that scene where they go from the room in the garage to the apartment, where the bed folds out and the tv folds into itself and the big screen folds out was fukkin dope.

[Mr Rager]

I liked it, but the third act was weird.

Spoiler

Yea. Tessa had a British accent on when she was doing her art show sale


Also if the Asian dude was burning, then Tessa's character is burning now :skip

I was wondering why he didn't use his white voice for the journalist....but he was probably still freaked the fukk out.


It's funny how the ceo dude wanted him to be the MLK of Horses... because everything Cash did after the proposal.. really works in favor of that

Spoiler

Yeah, at first I thought he low-key accepted the proposal...maybe him pulling up on Steve at the end was for show

 

[Originalman]

Spoiler

I didn't like the horse plot either but I think you're being overly harsh and I didn't get your interpretation at all. To me, it was more of a heavy handed satire of the working class being turned into work horses against our will under a capitalistic system than him trying to say black folks aren't genetically pure.

Breh if folks haven't been listening to the coup for the last 25 years. Especially the last 18 years they won't understand this movie or boots.

This movie touches almost most of the shyt coup been rapping about for years. The abstractness which the coup has been doing for at least the last 18 years. The movie's view of capitalism and untrustworthy CEOs and companies. How workers are nothing more than animals. This is all straight off of coup albums and boots has expressed this in interviews.

I mean shyt just listen to 5 million ways to kill a CEO or I love boosters.

Boots tells you everything you need to know about how he feels when it comes to corporate america.

If anything boots tried to put everything in the movie. Hell I am just impressed this movie even got made especially with boots background and lack of hollywood exp.

Boots is a underground rapper, activist, socialist and at one time a registered communist. So this was basically a miracle to even get made.

 

[Max.]

Lmaoooooo

 

[Bgreat]

Spoiler

you didn't think the nygga shyt rap at the party was funny? That shyt had me dying

I couldnt stop laughing at that... that was the funniest moment in a movie that ive seen in a while...

 

[Makavalli]

I thought i had too many long islands but me and my girl was like wtf
