Best ROM-Com in 2025 features science fiction eggs

This article contains Spoilers For “Maadi”.

Romantic comedy is a sub -type with a group of fans for life, however, it has been routinely rejected by Snobs as more than just Pablum. This happened almost every type (or branch) at one time or another, of course. For years, the Western was once considered merely feed for pulp fans, but as soon as his popularity continues for a long time (in conjunction with this type, it became more diverse and acquitted), which changed, and Snobs moved to monster deciphering, science fiction films, comedy, etc. Basically, every type had to bear traffic while moving towards cultural respect. In 2025, it seems as if the ROM-Com is finally making this trip, especially since the sub-fetus is still everywhere.

Author/director Celine Song “The Maadi” is the next step in the development of ROM-Com, as it intentionally is a romantic comedy characterized by all motifs and standing of the sub-type while avoiding the usual face. song, Those who exploded at the scene of the “past life” in 2023It puts an initial hypothesis for the ROM-Com-a professional woman is discovered in the love triangle between the rich suitor and her poor former backward-and she will be deepened in depth equal, honest and tenderness. This mixing of the surface levels in the sub -type with the most honest aspects of dialogue and description to every other artistic option in the movie.

This includes somewhat amazing Way Way song you choose to book the story. The “materialists” open and conclude with specific scenes in an unspecified period of time around the dawn of humanity, and it is characterized by two of the first people because they express their advertisement without words. While this choice indirectly indicates a previous comedy or two, its closest (and most participating predecessor) is only otherwise Opus Stanley Kubrick’s Sci-Fi OPUS, 2001: A Space Odyssey. It is the Easter Egg movie, a science fiction movie that no one has ever seen, and it is a Helluva smart option by Song.

“Last Lives” proved that the song was interested in the topics of love and relationships In a deeper way than just the basic or fictional romance. “Material” doubles this tendency. It is a film in which only the characters do not dance about each other’s feelings of conspiracy, but it is constantly assumed who they are and what they want and why. In essence, Song has the presence of her cake and eating it as well, and making a movie that contains the joys of love, wealth, sex and success, with the investigation of what all these things mean, whether it is for its characters, itself, the culture, or the species as a whole. In other words, “Maadi” is not a trivial movie, but it is looking for more clues about the meaning of being a human being.

This puts it properly with the movie “2001” of Cubic, a film that mixes the search for life outside the earth with the development of humanity and its relationship with the infinite. From the famous, the Cubrick movie begins with a long sequence in “Dawn of Man”, where Representatives and special effects of make -up plays monkey -like organisms Those who learn the mind and critical thinking, and thus put them on the path of development to humans. “The Maadi” begins a husband of the first people, already intelligent and develop culturally, as they show a bond of love with each other when a female male gives a bundle of flowers that he just chose for her. The moment aims to show the long history of flirtation and how it has always been built around material things, yet it was actually about the real affection in its essence.

To make the connection more clear, Song employs the same editorial trick that Kubrick used in “The Smash Jump Cut. In “2001”, a person throws a bone in the air that the camera follows when it rises. The new tool turns Nuclear spacecraft outside the weapons in the blink of an eye With the film moved to a period of time in the distant future. The “Maadi” do this as well, as they cut from early human habitats to modern New York City-the more implicit is that the more things change, the more they are as it is.

The choice of Song to start “materialists” with the first humans and their developing relationship is clearly the “2001” reaction, however the moment also indicates the Mail Brooks comedy as well. The history of Brooks “The World, Part 1” It begins, of course, with the dawn of humans during the Stone Age. The film uses this section of history to launch (in a ridiculous comic style, of course) how humans enacted the first marriage ever during this time, whether of two different sexes and homosexuals. It also explores how human culture in general may have evolved, with art (subsequent criticism), funerals, music, and comedy, all of which are literally depicted. Although the film is a satirical simulation of the epic movie (i.e. “Ten Commandments” and “Ben Hor”, and so on), it contains a sub -topic to explore how humans were always busy with basic problems, desires and needs.

In this way, the “Maadi” collides with a similar topic, and while Song’s movie is more serious than Brooks (and much less than the Cooprics), the film nevertheless declares its interest in achieving the scope of human behavior, and whether we have evolved all of our most humble beginnings or not. Even if we set aside the philosophical foundations of the film, it is better to see ROM that does not look forward to being just a nostalgia for ROM -coms fans, but rather seeks to deal with cinematic history in general. For the sake of my money, the “Maadi” is a wonderful movie, a complete stop, and these options are what helps to make it.

“Maadi” in theaters now.
