It is a good way to review the "disasters" of 2020 at the end of the year, if you just have nothing to do on New Year's Eve, you can watch this new Netflix movie and take you back to the news events of 2020 with an entertainment tone.
The film is very similar to The model of Triwa's day show or SNL funny newspaper news, with a strong sense of ironic critical language and real news footage connecting the news that happened throughout the year. Just in place of the anchor are a few familiar actors, who play different occupations and classes, pretend to be interviewed, and express their views on these news events.
Among them, Samuel L. Jackson starred as a journalist who specialized in interviewing the White House, and was also one of the sharpest and most spitting; Hugh Grant played a more self-righteous, occasionally sober and occasionally blind old professor of British history; Cristin Milioti played a typical American Karen, that is, a racist, supportive white woman; Tracey Ullman played the Queen of England who was happy to eat melons; Lisa Kudrow played the White House spokesperson, a copy of Kayleigh McEnany; Leslie Jones starred as a more sober-minded African-American psychologist; Kumail Nanjiani played a tech giant like Zoom founder who made a lot of money during the coronavirus; Joe Keery played a YouTube blogger who made a lot of money at home during the new crown by posting reaction videos; Samson Kayo plays a scientist who doesn't know how to pretend; Diane Morgan plays one of my least favorite roles in the film, an ordinary British housewife who, like an idiot, represents the average person who completely lacks the slightest common sense.
The whole looks like an extended version of SNL Small Theater, but at least it is very comprehensive, most of the news events mentioned in it should be heard by everyone, but with a satirical taste to take the audience back to review, some places do make people laugh and cry.
Some of the interesting things include:
The Queen said she heard that Meghan and Harry were moving to the United States from Meghan's instagram; the British people said that the US election was a long series, thinking that Lao Chuan's new crown was the last episode, and did not expect that the United States would survive until now; Samuel L. Jackson played a reporter who heard that Lao Chuan was infected with new crown and said: "Oh my God, who would have thought this would happen? Oh no, who wouldn't have thought such a thing would happen! Leslie Jones commented on the news of Lao Chuan's hospitalization: "Americans finally came together that day, no matter what kind of faction, they were praying, just praying for different outcomes." The British history professor commented on Lao Chuan's initial treatment of the new crown: "He treated the new crown like a housewife in his eyes, if he did not pay attention to it, it was like not existing." ”
The film also emphasizes that many major events that have caused chaos in the world, such as the impeachment of Lao Chuan, BLM, the general election, Brexit, etc., while human beings are fighting each other, the new crown students quietly enter thousands of households.
In addition to the coronavirus, the general election, oscars, Netflix, Zoom, BLM, Brexit, Tiktok and all other hot words of this year have been mentioned
However, the film ends in a phase full of light: the vaccine is developed and will be put into use, without mentioning the mutant new coronavirus that is currently emerging everywhere. This is because the filming can not catch up with the changes, can only wait for the next season of "2021 to die"
