Original Title: Bugonia
MOVIE
ok so I was supposed to be asleep but ngl I just had to finish this movie my sister recommended & honestly--- it was wierd. Like definately not what I was expecting. The title is Bugonia Unveiled & the plot- I mean, it's like if The Office & Inception had a baby & that baby watched too much TikTok. Fr fr.
So these two guys right- conspiracy nuts, like they're full on tinfoil hat wearers & they're convinced this CEO lady is an alien. Like, I mean, I've had some wacko bosses in my time but this takes the cake. The movie starts off kinda slow, like I was lowkey bored tbh. But then the kidnapping happens & things start to get real. Like real real.
They take her to this cabin in the woods- cliche I know, but somehow it works. The CEO lady, she's not scared though. She's like cool as a cucumber, even when they're interrogating her with these crazy ass questions. Like "do you lay eggs?" & "are you gonna eat our brains?" I was deadass laughing so hard I woke up my roommate, who was not pleased, lemme tell you.
But then- & this is where it gets wierd- she starts answering their questions. & not just like "no, you idiots, I don't lay eggs." She starts talking about her home planet & her mission & how she's here to save us not destroy us. & I'm like- hold up, is this real? Is she actually an alien? Or is this some sort of mind game?
I mean, she's very convincing. Like, I started to believe her. & the guys, they're freaking out. They don't know what to do. They're arguing with each other, they're arguing with her, it's just chaos. But in a good way, like really good, I mean damn it was solid.
But then- & this is where it gets even wierder- she escapes. Just walks right out of the cabin. & the guys, they just let her go. They're so confused, so scared, they don't know what to do. I mean, I was confused too. I didn't know what was happening. But it was good tho. Like, really good.
The ending though- I didn't see it coming. It was a twist, but not like a M. Night Shyamalan twist. More like a "wait, what just happened?" kind of twist. The CEO lady, she just disappears. & the guys, they're left with nothing. No proof, no answers, nothing. It was frustrating, but in a good way. Like, I wanted more, but I was satisfied with what I got.
Overall, I loved it... well actually parts of it annoyed me but overall yeah I loved it. It was a rollercoaster of emotions, a mind-bending trip, & a hilarious comedy all in one. It was like if The Office & Inception had a baby & that baby watched too much TikTok. I mean, it's not for everyone, but if you're into that sort of thing, you'll love it.
Oh btw this reminded me of when I watched The Lobster. Like, it's that same kind of absurd, surreal humor. So if you liked that, you'll prolly like this. & if you didn't, well, you might wanna give it a pass. But for me, it was a wild ride & I'm glad I took it.
