For a long time I didn’t want to watch this movie because I knew there would be a bucket-shaped spaceship, ridiculous bells in the nose, aliens looking like people and doing stupid things. I finally saw it, better than I expected, but not so good that I could say I was wrong. The fact is that this film can not be considered as fiction, as a comedy. It's all a scary tale built on political metaphors. Some alien entourage was created not for the purpose of a fantastic work, but to be able to ridicule the political situation in the world, skilfully circumventing censorship. The plot is ridiculous and strange, it is completely uninteresting to retell in detail: they fly there, fly here, constantly throw someone away, pick up, betray again. Therefore, it is not necessary to memorize it and try to retell it in a plot, but it is necessary to highlight the main thing - all the characters, except for two earthlings, constantly betray each other and throw each other, they constantly count money, write down who should how much, they are constantly busy dividing the hierarchy and who should bow. You have nothing to pay - goodbye - this is the position of absolutely all plucks. And this is our model of what? That's right, capitalism. And it is shown how, under this regime, we have reached the point where all the oceans have been squandered on fuel, racism is everywhere, people in the mines work, all the equipment is rusting, everyone dreams of what to buy, while saving who to deceive, subdue, humiliate. A huge proportion of the plot is devoted to this – the characters constantly humiliate each other in the most absurd ways – bells, cages, then it comes to the fact that you need to kneel and wear muzzles. Scary. Black. As a result, the topic reaches its absolute, when on the home planet of Uefa, now dead, he dreams of buying the planet and restoring it – but in order to sell air to people, and everyone crawled in front of him. This is the American dream, if you don’t understand. Comic power, worthless values, willingness to smite your neighbor by a box of matches... I am also sure that the flourishing planet on which the heroes were stomped is an image of the Soviet border, through which two Soviet people will pass without any problems, but two capitalists will not. Because they do not know how to live calmly and are ready to squander everything in the world.
Eventually. If such a wonderful ideological content, at the same time understandable and prophetic, why do I give a low rating? Because from this film I felt bad, all this devastation and desolation I absorbed the impression. The film did not overthrow the regime, although they could, and held the muzzle at the nose of the dictator, did not restore that dead planet, did not teach people the values of collectivization. They didn’t save anything, only two heroes got out of the alteration, that’s all, and there somewhere the whole galaxy was left to rot. It's also a metaphor for zabugor, I understand, but I don't like the viewer. They promised a comedy. Where? There is no place to smile, everything is so bad and joyless.
