very dark humor

It's pretty short, but it's covered enough that I feel like a sci-fi version of a great dictator.
I spent an hour and a half watching this movie in the evening, and I was a little unfinished. After the crazy laughter, I left a deep sadness and helplessness. But I saw that the director who introduced him was only 28 years old, and he was able to make such a movie with rich connotation and scenes that can compete with the so-called blockbuster. The admiration is like a surging river...
Maybe on the surface, This movie may be a bit superficial and some rude jokes, but I also feel the helplessness and confusion behind the jokes, when we think we know everything, are in control of everything and are omnipotent, we are actually repeating it again and again. Stupid mistake. Socrates said, "The only thing I know is that I'm ignorant." In the movie, the presidents, Nazis, astronauts, etc. are all insulting other people's stupid pigs and doing things that are more stupid than pigs, just like us Same as usual.
Although it is a science fiction movie, I think the director's favorite is Chaplin's black and white silent films. This kind of unbiased political satire and self-deprecating are more common in more open and diverse Europe. Topics such as politics, race, culture, etc. have been taken out and washed again. For example, the costumes worn by Nazi pilots look like Stormtroopers in Star Wars, the female president looks like Tea Party presidential candidate Palin, the president's Campaign slogans and the US election can also be put on the number. The most hilarious thing is that when the earth spaceship came to support, the "Mir" space station appeared!
Of course, the last ten minutes are the essence of this movie. Endless struggles, wars, and plundering of resources are the essence of human beings. Under the slogan of all freedom and equality, bloody battles are like the last universe. In war, when one enemy is destroyed, new enemies will be found, and in the end, everything will be destroyed.
Will the bloody history continue until tomorrow? This may be what the director wants to ask the world.
