Triangle of Sadness (15): Now Abigail is the Captain.

A One Mann’s Movies review of “Triangle of Sadness” (2022). So, another film that is on my BAFTA/Oscar catch-up list that I missed the first time around. “Triangle of Sadness” is up for three BAFTAs (Original Screenplay, Supporting Actress (Dolly De Leon who played Abigail) and Casting) and three Oscars (Original Screenplay, Best Director and – inexplicably – Best Picture. Is it a satirical…

I’ve been thinking about parallel lines between Plato’s allegory of The Ship of Fools, a painting of the same name by Hieronymus Bosch and Ruben Östlund's  Triangle of Sadness (2022) lately. 

Below is Benjamin Jowett's 1871 translation recounts Plato’s story as follows: 

Imagine then a fleet or a ship in which there is a captain who is taller and stronger than any of the crew, but he is a little deaf and has a similar infirmity in sight, and his knowledge of navigation is not much better. The sailors are quarrelling with one another about the steering --every one is of opinion that he has a right to steer, though he has never learned the art of navigation and cannot tell who taught him or when he learned, and will further assert that it cannot be taught, and they are ready to cut in pieces any one who says the contrary. They throng about the captain, begging and praying him to commit the helm to them; and if at any time they do not prevail, but others are preferred to them, they kill the others or throw them overboard, and having first chained up the noble captain's senses with drink or some narcotic drug, they mutiny and take possession of the ship and make free with the stores; thus, eating and drinking, they proceed on their voyage in such a manner as might be expected of them. Him who is their partisan and cleverly aids them in their plot for getting the ship out of the captain's hands into their own whether by force or persuasion, they compliment with the name of sailor, pilot, able seaman, and abuse the other sort of man, whom they call a good-for-nothing; but that the true pilot must pay attention to the year and seasons and sky and stars and winds, and whatever else belongs to his art, if he intends to be really qualified for the command of a ship, and that he must and will be the steerer, whether other people like or not-the possibility of this union of authority with the steerer's art has never seriously entered into their thoughts or been made part of their calling. Now in vessels which are in a state of mutiny and by sailors who are mutineers, how will the true pilot be regarded? Will he not be called by them a prater, a star-gazer, a good-for-nothing?

How many parallel lines do you see between the film, the painting and the actual allegory. To what extent do you think that the director was inspired/influenced by these works? 

#TriangleOfSadness. This was a profound watch that somewhat reminded me of Parasite with its own twists, turns, and social commentary. The film is many things, but boring isn't one of them. It's a dark comedy that comments on gender roles and social classes and takes audiences on an interesting journey. At first, I thought this was going to be a heavy drama given the title. While it did feature a bit of that, it pokes fun at the reality of people playing the gender role card when it's only convenient for them. It also comments on the roles assigned to us by society based on our race, which interestingly enough was at the core of the second and third acts. That said, Dolly De Leon is the major catalyst that drove the film home. I don't want to say too much, but she's indeed the captain of this feature and she deserves the recognitions she's been receiving. Pull though, Golden Globes! Pull through! Read a couple of reviews as well and now I'm really curious about Ruben Ostlund's other films. The Square and Force Majeure were repeatedly mentioned so I'm adding these to my list. Overall, it's a film that's fun to watch because of the extent they took to magnify the roles we all play. In truth, I watched it two more times right after the first one because it was just refreshing. This one's a 10/10 for me!! https://www.instagram.com/p/CmStOVPPrKh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I just watched Triangle of Sadness (2022), my rating is: ★★★★★★★☆☆☆

George Clooney uma vez disse que é possível fazer um filme razoável com um excelente roteiro e um elenco fraco, mas é impossível fazer um filme ok com um péssimo roteiro, mesmo com um elenco excepcional. Eu estudei roteiro no Brasil e em LA e concordo com George. O roteiro é a alma de um filme, onde ele nasce. Eu tive a chance de ficar frente a frente com 9 dos 10 indicados ao Oscar na categoria roteiro original e adaptado (uma das minhas favoritas), no @officialsbiff Compartilho tudo que esses gênios nos contaram sobre seu processo ao escrever a base dos filmes que dominaram a temporada de premiações.

"Você consegue relaxar o seu triângulo da tristeza?" - para mim um dos melhores filmes de 2022, com uma critica social pesada e "nojenta". Vale pelas risadas, pelo assombro, pela reviravolta.

“Triângulo da tristeza”: uma sátira social em três atos

Não sei quantos diretores conquistaram mais de uma Palma de Ouro no Festival de Cannes (procurem no Google, faz favor), mas acredito que obter o prêmio num espaço de cinco anos deve ser raro, provavelmente inédito. Pois o sueco Ruben Östlund obteve o feito com “The Square: A arte da discórdia” (2017) e “Triângulo da tristeza” (2022), que chegou ao Prime Video na última quinta-feira (2). O longa…
