“Fortune” is a must for any fans from the last major project Aziz Ansari, who directed him and his role in his, to him, to him, to him, Weatflix drama influenced “Master of nothing”. His first film has a similar Vibi. It is sad but it is never sad, funny, but it is still based on the ground. The hypothesis of “good luck” definitely looks ridiculous on paper-it revolves around an angel randomly giving a fatal way to “strange Friday” position with catastrophic results-but humor depends to a large extent on frustration in the real world with the economy in the disturbing and high living costs. It is a film on how much the world is cruel to people who are struggling to obtain it, and the huge amount of work and patience required for people from the working class to find some aspects of peace.
When it comes to whether you will enjoy this movie, the most important ideas of the individual about “Master of None” is what your thoughts in the 1946 movie “It’s a great life.” This is the main movie “Good Fortune” inspired by it, with the exception of “Good Fortune” provides a more charming spin on the hypothesis. If you are a person who loves a “great life” but I found it very happy and simple in the end, you will love most of the “good luck”. It is a movie that takes the familiar coordination, tangible for a long time (from a somewhat arrogant angel, fully known for telling a long man suffering that his life is wonderful and must change his position) and turn him on his head. “Good luck” is not sarcastically enough to say that George should have jumped from this bridge, but he spent more time examining how poverty can absorb life than someone.
“Remember, there is no failed man who has friends,” is a A famous line of “wonderful life”, But “good luck” simply responds: The presence of friends means little if you cannot live.
Keanu Reeves as Gabriel, Angist’s Pudbest Angel
What George equals in “Good Fortune” is ARJ (Aziz Ansari), a man who lives in his car and tries to survive from any short -term job he can get. During this first chapter, it passes with a million of insults in which he is sharply reviewed in his endeavor to obtain basic financial stability, which was not on the film version of Clarence-Gabriel, an angel played by Keanu Reeves-dealing with himself. So when Gabriel tries to give ARJ the treatment of “wonderful life”, “good luck” in something darker and much more entertaining than the first verb implicitly.
Perhaps it was also Dark work, if not for the innocent Keanu REEVES performance that makes it entirely. This poor sweet angel really wants help, but his breach and naive people nourish a lot of the chaos of this movie. Reeves can almost be identified here from his last “John Week” performance, as he instead returns to feelings His behavior in 1989 in “Bill & Ted’s Adventure”.
Less than the funny is Seth Rogin as an answer to the movie by Mr. Potter. While “wonderful life” Draw the capitalist villain As a heartless baron, Rogen investment capitalist Jeff is simply unaware and developed around her. It is a personal type that may actually be more disturbing, because Mr. Potter at least did not put a friendly interface and understanding.
Good luck is not funny as it can be
Perhaps that was because I saw this movie at the press show at 9:15 am, but neither I nor the big audience with me laughed all this a lot in “good luck”. The air exploded from my nose on many subsequent lines, so this is something. But outside a particularly dark joke involves a dog, a little of this film can qualify as joyful. Even Reeves Gabriel will be described as a first loved, funny second.
This is not a big blow against the film, because the main story drama works whether jokes go down to you or not. The conflict that ARJ is going through in the first chapter strikes it is difficult to ignore, as well as the continuous subcontinent for its beloved interest Elena (Kik Palmer), which tries to improve its working life even though the whole world appears against her. Sometimes, jokes are not funny as they dissipate; It is common to see a movie that picks up all the humiliating small roads that are treated with low -wage workers often.
As with “It is a wonderful life”, there is a dark line here: the main character implicitly thinking about suicide in most of the movie, and “good luck” keeps those risks that you feel all the way. “Fortune” is a more successful drama on the dramatic side of things. It is darker “It’s a wonderful life” and “Master of nothing” more fictional. As for the return project of Aziz Ansari, it is not a victorious return, but it is a good start.
