Josie and the Pussycats (2001) was dismissed on release, but it was mocking consumer culture the whole time. The product placement wasnโt lazy, it was the joke. It took years for people to realize how sharp and ahead of its time it actually was.
i highly recommend u find yourself a clingy (healthy) lovey dovey partner who is super excited about you. lifeโs too short to spend it with someone who act like showing love is a chore.
Oldboy (2003) is one of the most bruising films of the 2000s. A revenge story that keeps mutating until it leaves you hollow. Park Chan-wook shocked Cannes, won the Grand Prix, and delivered an ending that still silences rooms. Few films recover from it.
