Sorry To Bother You is absolutely absurd, incredibly hilarious, and refreshingly original but it also has a really potent and important message and that morals are more important than money. This seems like a pretty obvious thing to a lot of us, but unfortunately we have become numb to the fact that people are still exploiting others for their own monetary gain. This film argues that even "sitting on the sidelines" is a form of support for evil.
Recently I watched a documentary called A Cambodian Spring. In this film it is shown that the Cambodian government is so obsessed with making their country an economic powerhouse that they disregard their own citizens and make their lives a living hell. To this day these people are being ignored and jailed for speaking out against these injustices. Watching this film was the first I had heard about any of these things. And there are people being exploited for money in our own country everyday that we never hear about! It's almost as if they are slaves, as they will just be fired and jobless if they try to do anything about it. Money and greed go hand in hand. Between our selfish desire and the false lie that the more money we have, the more important we are, money has destroyed a lot of lives. Unfortunately money is an everyday thing that we must deal with. Wanting nice things isn't a bad thing, and money is something we need to have in order to provide for our families, but when it becomes a crutch for others to succeed, or more important than other human lives, that's where the evil comes out. In the end, money will mean nothing, but it's the things we do on this earth that will matter. So speak out against injustices and care for all people so everyone can have their basic human rights. I highly recommend Sorry To Bother You. It is insanely fresh and original and that is very hard to find in cinema today. It has great performances, an absurd and interesting plot, and it's really funny. It's not for everyone, but if you're in for something unique with a great message then please check this film out! We need more original films like this one!
