    Hello friends, I'm here with another interesting movie title The World's End and I would like to share you with here.

    The movie is about, In an attempt to fulfil their epic pub crawl left incomplete 20 years ago, five friends return to their hometown. However, they are inadvertently burdened with the task of saving mankind.

    It begins when Gary King, an immature 40-year-old alcoholic, decides to recapture his youth by contacting his boyhood friends Oliver Chamberlain, Peter Page, Steven Prince, and Andrew Knightly, and inviting them to complete the “Golden Mile”, a pub crawl encompassing the 12 pubs of their hometown of Newton Haven, the last of them being the World's End.

    The group attempted to crawl as teens in 1990, but failed to reach the final three pubs.

    Andy, now a teetotaler due to a drunk driving incident years before involving himself and Gary, reluctantly agrees to join after Gary lies about his mother dying.

    The group encounters Oliver's sister, Sam, who Gary and Steven fought over in school.

    In the fourth pub, Gary goes to the toilet, where he gets into a fight with a teenager and knocks his head off, exposing him as an android.

    As Gary's friends find him in the bathroom, they encounter several other androids and fight them off.

    They realize the town has been replaced by androids (which they dub “Blanks.”) Gary urges them to continue the pub crawl to avoid suspicion.

    The group bumps into Sam once more and she, Gary, and Steven fight Blank versions of Sam's childhood friends, known as the “twins”.

    She tags along with them, and Steven is told by Basil, a local conspiracy theorist who has not yet been replaced by a Blank, that the Blanks are trying to build a galactic conglomerate, and that any humans refusing will be replaced with identical simulants.

    The Blanks attempt to convince the humans to join their assimilation.

    Unwilling to lose their humanity and, finding out that both Oliver and their old school teacher, Mr. Shepherd, have been replaced, the group fights a bar full of Blanks.

    Gary lets Sam escape Newton Haven by herself; Pete gets captured after attacking the Blank that has replaced his childhood bully.

    When Andy and Steven try to escape, Gary ditches them to finish the Golden Mile alone. Andy and Steven chase after Gary, as does the rest of Newton Haven, as Steven is captured.

    In The World's End, Andy confronts Gary and reveals that his marriage is troubled, while Gary reveals a recent suicide attempt.

    Andy tries to stop Gary from drawing his final pint, but Gary clings to completing the Mile, as he believes it's all he has.

    When Gary pulls the lever to pour himself a pint, the floor lowers into a hidden chamber.

    A disembodied alien entity, known as the Network, tells Gary and Andy that the Blank invasion is the first step to humanity joining a galactic community.

    The Network offers Gary eternal youth if he becomes a Blank, but he refuses.

    Along with Andy and Steven, who has survived, Gary calls out the tyranny in the Network's plan and demands that humanity be left to its devices.

    The Network, exasperated, agrees to abandon the invasion.

    Sam rescues Gary, Andy, and Steven as the town is destroyed, but they are unable to outrun the pulse triggered by the departure of the Network, which deactivates Sam's car.

    Some time later, Andy relates that the pulse triggered a worldwide blackout that destroyed all electrical power on Earth, sending humanity back to the Dark Ages.

    The remaining Blanks reactivated a few weeks later, and although they are now independent of the Network, they are mistrusted and shunned by most of the surviving humans.

    Find out what happened next as they are mistrusted and shunned by most of the surviving humans as it gets interesting.

    Thanks for reading my post.

    I'm taking part in the @wiseagent contest. Here you will find the coordinates of his initiative: https://peakd.com/hive-148441/@wiseagent/league-of-movies-hive-writing-contest-first-edition-or-week-01-on-repeat.

    The film I chose to comment on today is a 2013 film by one of the most brilliant and brilliant directors of the last decade. A British director who is highly respected in the film world. The film I am telling you about is the film that concludes the so-called "Croissant Trilogy" and anticipates Wright's most famous film "Baby Driver". I am obviously talking about Edgar Wright and his craziest film: The World's End. It's a film of friendship but also of strong dementia this but above all it's a film of homages, full of cinematic tributes ranging from Back in the future to Ghostbusters, passing through American Pie and a thousand comic book quotes. Starring a gang of former high school friends, no longer in contact for years. Life as adults has driven them away, but old disagreements have also contributed to it. The reunion helped. After a very tasty preamble we watch the reunion. A reunion that will have only one goal: to complete the golden mile and drink at least one beer in the 12 bars that make up the tour of the bars. The conclusion of the bar will be the infamous "The World's End", the last bar in this long series. A feat that the 5 friends had tried as acquaintances without ever being able to complete. Back to the place of the teenage legend, in their hometown of Christmas, a place of many memories. Since the first bar, since the first beer something doesn't add up. The city seems to be still, placid, calm. Too much compared to their memories. And there goes the complete degenerate for a film that we could synthesize like this:

    Out of my mind!

    If there's a movie that will literally make you exclaim this phrase, it's this one. It travels at a thousand miles an hour, it mixes different genres, it quotes, it's funny, it's scary, it sucks sometimes. It's a totally crazy movie that may or may not be on your wall, but over the years it has earned the reputation of being a cult. That's it, a cult. That's why, knowing that you might not like it very much, I invite you to watch it.

    Partecipo al contest di @wiseagent. Qui troverete le coordinate della sua iniziativa: https://peakd.com/hive-148441/@wiseagent/league-of-movies-hive-writing-contest-first-edition-or-week-01-on-repeat.

    Il film che ho scelto di commentare oggi è un film del 2013 di uno dei registi più brillanti e geniali dell'ultimo decennio. Un regista britannico rispettato tantissimo nel mondo cinematografico. Il film di cui vi parlo è il film che conclude la cosiddetta "trilogia del cornetto" e che anticipa il film più famoso di Wright "Baby Driver". Sto parlando ovviamente di Edgar Wright e del suo film più folle: The World's End. E' un film di amicizia ma anche di forte demenzialità questo ma soprattutto è un film di omaggi, denso di omaggi cinematografici che vanno da Back in the future a Ghostbusters, passando per American Pie e mille citazioni da fumetto. Protagonisti una banda di ex amici del liceo, non più in contatto da anni. La vita da adulti li ha allontanati ma anche vecchi dissidi hanno contribuito a farlo. La rimpatriata è servita. Dopo un preambolo molto gustoso assistiamo alla reunion. Una reunione che avrà un unico obiettivo: completare il miglio d'oro e bere almeno una birra nei 12 bar che compongono il tour dei bar. La conclusione del bar sarà quella del famigerato "The World's End", ultimo locale di questa lunga serie. Un'impresa che i 5 amici avevano provato da adoloscenti senza mai riuscire a completarla. Si torna sul luogo della leggenda adolescenziale, nella loro città Natale, luogo di tanti ricordi. Sin dal primo bar, sin dalla prima birra qualcosa non quadra. La città sembra ferma, placida, pacata. Troppo rispetto ai loro ricordi. Ed ecco che partirà il degenero più totale per un film che potremmo sintetizzare cosi:

    Fuori di testa!

    Se c'è un film che vi farà letteralmente esclamare questa frase è proprio questo. Viaggia a mille all'ora, mescola generi diversi, cita, omaggia, fa ridere, fa paura, fa schifo a volte. E' un film totalmente folle che potrà entrare nella vostra bacheca o meno ma che si è guadagnato negli anni la fama di essere un cult. Ecco, un cult. Ecco perchè, consapevole che potrebbe piacere poco o tanto vi invito a guardarlo.

  4. 'The World's End' by Edgar Wright Review: Letting go of the past to create a better future@namiks2608d

    The World's End.jpg

    The films by Edgar Wright are far more than they seem from at a glance. From the two reviews I've done of his past films, Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, there's a distinct message in the two about life: whether it's taking responsibility for your actions and life and making the necessary changes to progress into adulthood, or whether it's understanding that you need to slow down sometimes and enjoy life before you completely miss it through a chaotic work life and taking things just a bit too seriously.

    The World's End, being the final film in the 'trilogy' featuring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, alongside Edgar Wright, continues that trend of adding an additional layer of meaning into the film, that as always, can easily be overlooked without proper attention.

    While it may be the weakest of the films for numerous reasons: the comedy isn't there so much, and the things we love best about Edgar Wright's directing aren't particularly visible throughout the film. It does remain enjoyable and is amplified by the understanding of the bigger picture behind it all.

    Gary King (Simon Pegg) is a struggling alcoholic that's filled with nostalgia, forever attempting to relive his greatest times during his teenage years. Known for being the coolest, the most attractive, and even living up to his surname. However, with time's inevitable passing, all his friends have since moved on into their adult lives with careers, wives, and children. King, however, just can't seem to accept it and move on into adulthood.

    With nostalgia at heart, King meets up with each of his friends and either guilt trips them or tricks them into all meeting up at their hometown, where King's real plan is to complete the infamous pub crawl that they never finished as teenagers: it all ends at the World's End pub. As his plan finally comes to their attention, they're clearly not happy, but their surroundings begin to change as various inconsistencies arise with the strange characters that inhabit the town. Everyone seems very strange, up until King discovers with his friends that the people of the town have been replaced by these strange robot-like entities.

    One could make the argument that the robot-like nature of the townspeople could be perceived as the group's real perception of the people around them: once at the top of the world in their youth, they've realised that they too have fallen from their heights and become mindless drones in society, doing the same thing everyone else does by getting serious about careers and responsibilities. That doesn't go to say that their way is the right way of living, but that society has pulled them in and changed them, and during the pub crawl they revisit their youth and see the present for what it really is: a facade. Fake happiness fuelled by nostalgia.

    Revisiting the past is a good way to understand the present, and the future. It's where we can look back and learn at from our successes and failures. It's how we can learn and adapt and progress enough to ensure a better present and future for ourselves. The World's End tells us exactly that. It doesn't hold all of the answers, and it shows that allowing yourself to be fuelled by nothing but nostalgia can be very toxic and fog your ability to see clearly when life's issues do in fact arise and require attention. That hidden meaning alone makes the film very special, despite its mediocre methods of filmmaking and storytelling.
