Don’t Look Up
Idiocracy. We’re basically dumping brawndo on the plants as we speak…
The Room
Yeah, it really does match the incoherent conversations and relationships that a lot of people have in a way that most scripted movies don’t.
It doesn’t make for a good movie, but when I did watch it the characters reminded me of people I knew.
Office Space. Although, it is a little too real sometimes.
Fargo is not a true story, though some of it was inspired by true events (wood chipper)
I got called to Minnesota to serve two years as an LDS missionary back in 2000. I absolutely loved the place. But my first day was I was stationed in Brainerd MN, and my apartment was on the edge of a frozen lake. I took a picture of it, and colored in the old brick BBQ to look like a wood chipper with feet sticking out of the top, and a large red stain across the ice, and sent it to my sister. That picture sat in her cubicle for years after that. I can’t think of that scene without thinking of it.
Probably would have to be the movie Rubber.
Marriage Story is one to check out if that’s what you are looking for.
Any social drama? These movies are boring as fuck and resemble the shit you can hear about the neighbors. Quite realistic.
