Have you seen the number of remakes and reboots that will be released in the next few months?
It’s stupid.
One gets the impression that all the great successes of the last few decades deserve a sequel or a revival.
It ranges from The Exorcist to Beverly Hills Cop to Indiana Jones, My Fair Lady, The Wild Bunch and Nosferatu.
Even The Passion of the Christ by Mel Gibson is entitled to a sequel!
Dedicated, you guessed it, to the resurrection.
BÉ-BÉ-BÉGAIE QUEBEC
“We feel like we don’t know what to invent anymore,” said my colleague at QUB Radio Alexandre Moranville-Ouellet. As if we had hit a wall, as if the source had dried up and everything had already been said, written, thought up…”
So said Charles H. Duell, Commissioner of the US Patent Office, in 1899: “Everything that can be invented has been invented.”
Mind you, it’s not just Hollywood that stutters.
Politics are also on the spot.
Check out what’s happening in Quebec.
What is the CAQ government’s “nationalist federalism” if not a remake of a film we’ve already starred in?
And who made potatoes back then?
We imagine the synopsis of this remake in TV-Hebdo:
The Beautiful Risk (2023)
Directed by Francois Legault.
Realizing that the sovereignist option was at an impasse, the Quebec government decided to give federalism a chance and wrest powers from Ottawa.
“Second remake of René Lévesque’s classic, based on the version shot by Robert Bourassa in 1987. Worn out topic. Foreseeable Scenario. to match performance. Artificial and unconvincing acting by the main actors. Grotesque theatrics from Justin Trudeau, who takes over the role of his father in the original version, which was released 43 years ago. Rated 6.”
MAO: THE RETURN!
“Insanity,” said Einstein, “is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result each time.” »
If so, Quebec is ripe for a long asylum stay.
At least in Bourassa’s version, there was real tension: will the federal prime minister bring about Quebec’s independence?
While we’re here, we see the end coming from the first few minutes.
François Legault will fall and take his hole. It’s written in red letters in the sky.
The same feeling of déjà vu in the intellectual milieu.
What is wokism if not a hysterical and hysterical remake of ’60s Maoism?
Reinvent the man deep down. Break free from the past. Rebuild society on new foundations. Outcast anyone who dares to criticize dogma.
This psychedelic film ran in all western universities in the 1960s-70s. In a double calculation with El Topo, by Jodorowsky.
Young people think they’ve invented a new way of seeing the world, while their pseudo-revolution is to Mao’s great leap forward what Star Wars was to Kurosawa’s hidden fortress.
Or created Basil at the Flintstones.
We think we’re moving forward while we’re spinning in circles.
