Opus is about a pop star from the 9s
0:10
malovich uh his name is
0:14
Moretti a young writer IO ADB from um
0:20
the bear yep uh she's a young writer and
0:26
some let me start this over Moretti is
0:29
like this pop star that is legendary
0:32
kind of a a very mysterious person like
0:35
a um kind of a a a like David Bowie type
0:41
character and he's disappeared for 30
0:47
Ranch never to resurface and suddenly
0:50
invites lucky people to come out to the
0:53
ranch to hear his new
0:56
album so Io Io a play who plays uh Ariel
1:03
ekon is one of the lucky people invited
1:06
it's kind of almost a uh willly Wonka in
1:09
the Chocolate Factory people are plucked
1:12
and selected by Moretti to come and for
1:16
a private listening of his new album at
1:20
ranch and things are not quite right
1:24
it's this beautiful opulent Ranch like a
1:28
spa uh getto away in the middle of the
1:31
desert he is it's a it's surrounded by a
1:35
gate so it's closed off from the rest of
1:37
the world he has fans outside hoping for
1:40
a glimpse of Moretti and when these
1:44
these journalists and people from
1:47
outside are brought in there's like six
1:50
of them they uh it it it's gives that
1:57
Wonka things go arai with within the
2:00
ranch we finally meet uh Alfred Moretti
2:04
played by John malovich who is as weird
2:07
as weird can be he's dressed strangely
2:11
he talks strangely his his followers are
2:16
way too cult-like in the way they
2:18
worship Him and the first half of the
2:21
movie is a comedy this is ridiculous how
2:25
could they they listen to the first song
2:27
I don't think it's anything special it's
2:30
kind of like most pop music today kind
2:32
of forgettable but everyone just
2:35
worships every worships the ground he
2:39
literally every weird ritual there
2:43
there's it like like makes everything
2:48
strange everyone is kind of off in terms
2:52
of you know they're asked to for example
2:55
dress a certain way they're asked to
2:59
they're asked to trim their pubic hair
3:01
all everyone all the guests a it's very
3:07
weird but things go really bad in the
3:11
middle of the movie when it goes from
3:16
horror it and then it becomes a complete
3:22
group and Moretti is is out for
3:26
Revenge from journalists who may have
3:28
done him wrong in the past
3:31
and of course we're all rooting for
3:32
Ariel econ I'm not Fami I don't watch
3:35
the bear I'm not familiar with her work
3:38
but I gotta say bottoms by the way yeah
3:41
he's great in the movie he is very
3:45
relatable um we she's introduced in the
3:48
movie at the very beginning talking to a
3:51
coworker they have this conversation
3:53
where she's everything about her is
3:56
normal and mid there's nothing
3:59
interesting about her and she plays it
4:02
so well she plays it completely straight
4:05
but I I really I I not being really
4:10
super Fami familiar with her as an
4:11
actress she did a great job so she's
4:15
what made me stick with the movie once
4:17
it makes this turn to complete horror
4:20
and obviously I'm not going to give away
4:21
any of the events it goes off the rails
4:24
and then the movie ends and continues
4:28
for another 10 minutes
4:30
in a sequence that tries to tell you out
4:34
loud what the theme of the movie is and
4:39
dark I mean I have to give this movie
4:41
credit for swing swinging for the
4:47
but in the end I don't think it works at
4:51
all but wow this movie goes for it
4:54
comedy to horror to an incredibly dark
5:00
of current culture that I did not expect
5:09
so I mean be warned with this movie I
5:12
give it a five out of
5:14
ten uh but but what it attempts to do I
5:19
admire so I'm not sure if I can give it
5:21
a full like even a bear recommend but if
5:26
you like stuff that's weird it's a24
5:28
folks it's a24 it's going to be weird
5:32
and different so expect the unexpected
5:35
and it does go there but that last 10
5:38
minutes was an incredibly dark
5:41
commentary on society
5:44
today let's go to your comments I I just
5:47
want to say but it seems like you know
5:50
Ari Aster makes these great movies and
5:52
it and then people try to copy it and
5:54
when I saw the trailer it just felt like
5:56
that this was a copy of Midsummer uh you
5:59
know or trying to be something like
6:02
that it it it's elements of Midsummer
6:05
maybe but a little elements of willly
6:10
end but it's that idea of Something's
6:12
successful so we have to copy it and
6:14
this felt like that that it was just a
6:16
copy of trying to the the thing that
6:20
saved it for me was that the lead
6:23
actress she's just she's just great IO
6:28
ad yeah she uh yeah she was in Bottoms
6:31
and she's probably done some some of the
6:32
better episodes of Saturday Night Live
6:35
hosted yeah so she's good very good okay
6:38
but but this movie again mixed
