Notes related to comedy
Sorry To Bother You
I can't remember how I heard about Sorry to Bother You but I'm so glad this movie crossed my path.
This surreal production touches on a myriad of subjects with an intelligent lens: Black identity, big-corp America, private labor camps, transhumanism, political activism, class defection, social networks absurdities, and more that I can remember of.
The mix of science-fiction and absurd is brilliant. Just like Idiocracy can be pretty brilliant as well.

Humanity. What a weird bunch of biological individuals. We are able to travel space and time through electricity. We have so much medical knowledge that we can open our skull, remove a tumor attached to the brain, and still continue a healthy life. We are creative and dumb enough to fix our problems while creating unexpected new ones. We work hard to go to space, where it is one of the most hostile environments for our bodies. Why do we do that, when we can’t even agree collectively on what’s important? Well, I got no clue, but it’s fascinating to witness so much chaos.
