2020 is really so simple, full of all kinds of turbulence, disasters and black swans, so that "2020" is no longer a year number, but has a new meaning.
Last year, I heard the American talk show host Jimmy Kimmel said: "Can 2020 be 2020er?", which means that such a bad year can be worse? Here the second "2020" is used as an adjective. The documentary "Death to 2020" that just came out, regards 2020 as a criminal sentenced to death-go to death, 2020!

2020 really brought the world to death. There is no way to change this. What ordinary people can change is what attitude they use to face 2020. When the Chinese look back at 2020, the mainstream narrative is always grand and inspiring. Come on from Wuhan to China, and in the end, 2020 is very likely to become the Blessing in Disguise of the Chinese. Blessing in Disguise? Haha see who has the last laugh.
But foreigners can't see any blessings in the disaster of 2020. In 2020, apart from the ugliness of politics in the chaotic and turbulent situation, there is only the pain of being deprived of freedom, a feeling of being screwed up to death.
But Crooked Nuts has one ability: to use a kind of heartless cynicism to resolve bad events in the real world. This is the purpose of the "2020 To Die" created by the British filmmakers: to use sarcasm against reality.
This is the Satire (satire) culture that is quite developed in the West, which is seen in various talk shows, and British talents are the true source of this culture.

Although the major events of 2020, especially the shocking events for Europeans and Americans, have been counted by the film one by one, but "2020 to the death" is actually only a pseudo documentary. Between paragraphs of news documentaries, there are interviews with celebrities or ordinary people in disguise. These people speak almost omnipotently, regardless of whether they are black or white, they are all used to make fun of them.
And all these laughs were sneers.
I especially like the British history professor played by Hugh Grant.
The Queen of England (Elizabeth I Part 2) is of course not true, or can you advertise your online shopping?
The Trump spokesperson is a combination of shame and neuroticism. No one is more suitable than Phoebe in "Six People".
The black guy pretends to be a researcher. At first he pretended to be a bit like, but he talked about the sexual intercourse between man and bat...
And this black eldest sister is quite a shrew, and after the interview, she said to the photographer: "Hey, do you want to have sex?"
This "Football Mom", who is stunned with an accent, is the Englishman stabbing a knife at the Americans.
And this British eldest sister, one of the four most ordinary people in the world, is a bitter pill for the British to give themselves back.
The eldest sister is a bit stupid, seeing what happened on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean in 2020 as a TV series, in fact, she is not stupid at all. Think about it again, isn't the United States in 2020 a big drama that no one can make up!
In other words, in the United States and the world in 2020, everything seems so unreal, so surreal, so Surreal.
By the way, the word Surreal appeared in CNN's news yesterday about the occupation of Capitol Hill by Trump insurgents on January 6. The title seems to be "The Mob on Capitol Hill-Everything Looks So Surreal."
By now, I will understand: If you think that 2020 is over, then the mob on Capitol Hill will slap you in the face-the age of decay of division, conflict, and violence may have just begun.
So no matter where we are, we should come up with the heartless self-entertainment spirit of "To Die 2020", be big, humorous, cool, and cool. Maybe after the cynicism, things are not so big?
